COLD STORAGE
HOUSES full
High Prices Being Main
tanned Despite Immense
Supplies of Food
(By Associated Press.)

New York. June 20-A statement,
saying every available cold storage
place in this city is full to capacity
and charging that retailers are main
tanning high prices in spite of afflu-
ence Of food, was issued here last
night by Joseph Hartigan, commits
sioner OF weights and measures.
The British government has ceased
buying food supplies here, the public
is living more economically, and stor-
age space is at a premium, Mr. Harti-
gan asserted, yet wholesalers COM
plain that retailers are charging ex-
orbitant prices. Butter, cheese and
eggs have come into New York in
such quantities as to cause a glut in
the market" he added.
1T is the first experience of the
kind enjoyed by the wholesale trade"
Unless federal and municipal
agencies intervene, the commissioners
said there is danger of further price
increases and speculation will not be
eliminated.

Democracy to the New Republic.
CBy Associated Press.)

Petrograd, via London, June 90
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the British
suffrage leader made an unexpected
arrival in Petrograd yesterday. She

come to Russia to explain to the men

attitude of the British democracy
toward the war. She added that 1t
was too early to announce exactly
how she aimed to accomplish this, but

pointments will be with Madame

The Situation.

New York, June 20.-The country's
shortage of freight cars has been re-

hand May 1, it was announced here
last night by the American Railway
association. On that date the short
age was 1882 cars. On June l, it
was 105,127. The decrease is attri-

how to use freight equipment more
effectively. For four months before
