ALI FOODS SOON
 TO BE CONTROLLED
 BY THE GOVERNMENT
Republican A. P. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON. Oct Spiritually all the staple foods consumed by the American people will be put under gov ernment control November l.
 The food administration announced tonight that within a few days Presi- dent Wilson will issue an executive order requiring that manufacturers and distributors of some twenty fundamen- tai foods operate under license restric- tions designed to prevent unreasonable profits and to stop speculation and hcarding.
 Regulations will be prescribed for meat packers, cold storage houses, mil lers. canners. elevators grain. sealers and wholesale dealers and retailers doing d business of more than S100,00O annually in the commodities to be named
 The prime purpose of the food ad- ministration," the announcement said, "is to protect the patriot against the stacker in business. It has generally been recognized that the enormous ob. ligation imposed on the American people to feed our soldiers at the front and the allies creates a disturbing factor in trade which allows oppor- tunity to a few to impose burdens upon the many, and that it is of vital national importance that such control should be exerted as will remedy, so far as may be, the economice disturb ances incident to the war.
 Issuance of the presidents procla- nation has been delayed, the announce ment said. that the food administra . ton might complete conferences with representatives with trades and pro- ducers and consumers. Already about 200 conferences have been held at which were planned regulations and constructive methods of control.
 Tt has been the desire of the food administration" the announcement continued, ito secure the cooperation of all patriotic men in the various trades so as to eliminate speculation, hoarding. unreasonable profits, waste. ful practices, etc. in the great distribu- tion system of the country.

SAY ELECTRIC SIGN
 USED AS SIGNAL ID
 K|DNAPERS OF BABY
Republican A.P. Leased Wire1

MARSHFIELD, Mo, Oct. 9.-Rapid progress was made here today in the trial of Claude J. Piersol, charged with Kidnapping baby Lloyd Rect of Spring field. The jurors. all of whom are farmers. and all except two are mar Iied and have children, quickly were selected and after the prosecutors opening statement, Miss Ida McCan non and Jennie Haig, nurse and cook, respectively, at the Rect home, testi- fled as to the disappearance of the baby on May 30. They were followed by Mir and Mrs. J. Holland Rect, who identified the clothing which was wrapped around the baby's body when it was found in a cistern on the de- serted CrenshaW farm several days afterWard
 During the afternoon the prosecu- tion sought to prove that Lloyd Rect had been kept at the Crenshaw home all of the time between his disappear ance and the subsequent finding of the body
 Richard Crenshaw, witness for the state, probably furnished the most sen sational testimony when he described a peculiar well-like hole in the Crenshaw house, caused by the construction of a clTcuidr SldlTWdy. HIS 0Ole ran rom the basement to the garret and was walled with brick. He testified that on examining the house after the Rect baby's body was found, two pieces of baby clothing were fished out of the bottom of this hole. He further tes- tified that he had seen a group of men in the yard of his place one night in February 1917 and that he thought one of them was Piersol, although he could not be certain.
 Another interesting bit of testimony brought out by Crenshaw was that the electric sign on the drygood store which was used as a signal that Rect had started with the ransom money the night after the baby was stolen could be seen from the roof of the CreIshaw mansion.
 Ely PaXson. coroner of Greene coun- ty, identified the garments found around the Rect baby. During this

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct 9.-The taking of testimony in the coal rate case in which the operators seek the removal of the differential on coal to points in the northwest, a lower rate to California points and a through rate to Kansas and Nebraska destin- ations, before C. F.. Marshall inter state commerce examiner. was con- cluded at a session here tonight. The examiner directed that briefs be filed by both sides by December 1. Argu- ments will be heard by the interstate commerce commission at Washington at time yet to be fixed.
 Tomorrow Examiner Marshall will hear testimony in the case of the Cam eron Coal company, Independent Coal x Coke company, Spring Canyon Coal company and the Standard Coal com- pany, all of Utah. against the Salt Lake Route, Denver & Rio Grande, Oregon Short Line, Oregon Washing ton Railway & Navigation company, Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and Western Pacific. in which the com plainants seek to recover $40O,0 dam ages alleged to have resulted from discrimination on the part of the de- fendant carriers in furnishing cars.
 The final witness at tonight's ses- sion was J. A. Monroe of Omaha, vice president of the Union Pacific and of the Oregon Short Line. who justified the refusal of the railroads to give a through rate on coal from Utah to Kansas and Nebraska territory on the ground that it was not necessary to the industry in Utah and would be an injustice to mines within the cen tral area of Nebraska and Kansas.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Commerce and communication restrictions au- thorized by the trading with the enemy act will be put into effect with in a few days under an executive order which President Wilson virtually had completed tonight after conferring with cabinet members, Vance McCor- mick. chairman of the exports admin istrative board, and Acting Secretary Crosy of the treasury.
 Postmaster General BurlesOn an- nounced after the cabinet meeting that the provision authorizing the post office department to license foreign language newspaper was already in operation. A number of papers already have filed applications and scores are expected within the next few days.
 Under the tentative draft of the eX- ecutive order, the censorship of mails, cables. radio and telegraph communl- cation would be entrusted to board including representatives of the post office. war and navy departments and the exports administration. The navy, which now censors cables, and the war department which exercises control over telegraph communication to Mex ico probably would retain those func- tions. while the new problem of cen- soring mail, directed particularly to Spain and the northern European neut- ral countries. would be given special attention by the army and exports ad- ministration representatives on the board of censors.
 MT. Burleson is anxious that his de- partment refrain as far as possible from the work of actually opening and censoring mail Consequently the pos tai authorities probably will limit | themselves to merely cooperating with the active cenSors.
