 at Once

Washington, June 22.-An exhaustive inquiry into production prices and trans portation of coal steel. copper and other basic material of which government su- pervjsion may be proposed during the war, was decided upon today by the Senate interstate commerce committed Ccal will be the first subject taken up next Tuesday.
 NEWLAND'S STATEMENT
 Senator Newlands in a statement re- garding the proposed investigation said
 "1he abnormal conditions created ny tue war have disturbed price levels which had hitherto been adjusted by c2mpetl- ton. It had been demonstrated that cou- petition was powerless to keep prices of the basic materials at the normal level.
 'In such condition it was necessary that there should be some governmental ac- ton covering all the basic materials which constituted the very necessaries of production.
 ASSURANCES GIVEN
 Producers may rest assured that no action will be taken which would inJure or impair their industries put only sucl action as would prevent abnorma! prices arising from an abnormal demand
 Senator Newlands referred to the dan ger of labor disputes and popular upris- ings against high prices if the present condition Cf things continued.

 A meeting of coal producers from all parts of the country will be held here Tuesday under the auspices of thecom- mittee on coal production of the council of national defense.

THE RELATIVES OF HEYs
M'MATH HAVE STATEMENT

Math, and shipped by him to Savannah,
and the cotton was graded in Savannah
as middling cotton and the factors
stated positively that it was not gin
cut. Mr.. McMath made profit on the
cotton he bought, and in order to sat
isfy his customers, exhibited to them
the return of his account sales, for the
purpose of showing that the cotton was
not gin-cut. This came to the knowl-
edge of Mr.. Simmons and he seemed
to be very much offended.
Mr.. McMath some time later,
sold some linters for six cents per
pound. Mr.. Simmons heard of this,
came to him and stated that he should
have lot him know that he had linters
for sale. and he also remarked that he
would have paid twelve cents for them,
to which Mr. McMath replied that he
did not know Mr.. Simmons was buying
linters, but that if he wanted them he
could buy them back for him at seven
cents per pound, and that he meant
this is good faith when he told Mr..
Simmons so. In this conversation rel
atively to the linters, Mr.. Simmons re-
marked, 1T seems you did not know
was in the cotton business" to which
Mr. McMath replied, yes l knew you
were in the cotton business, but did
not know you were in the Inter bust
ness" Mr. Simmons also said to Mr..
McMath, you don't seem to have any
respect for me anyhow" to which Mr..
McMath replied, Il haven't any respect
for you except for your age Thus
ended the conversation between them.
The next thing that Mr.. McMath

heard was a few hours before the
shooting occurred some one told him
that the Simmons had threatened him,
and were looking for him, but he gave
the report no special consideration, as
Re was conscious of the fact that he
had neither done or said anything that
would justify the Simmons in making
tie attack upon him that they after
wards made.
Mr. McMath was shot without warn
ing, and was at the time unarmed, and
had said nothing that would justify the

Gathering Food for Bees.

A clever scheme, that appears to
have originated in Scotland, is to
gather pollen from flowers with a
vacuum cleaner for use as food for
bees. The heather on wide stretches
of moors provides ample supplies, and

young bees were mostly reared on this
pollen,
