Ames, May 25.-At dinner at hotel
here today the faculty representatives
OF the Missouri Valley conference and
the faculty directors win take up an
informal discussion Of whether or not
intercollegiate athletics will be con-
tinued pending duration Of the war.
The Missouri Valley conference meet
is on Saturday. the occasion when the
faculty representatives get together in
the first OF the two meetings they have
in the course Of a year. The repre-
sentatives of the non-conference
schools, the coaches, officials and all
attending the meet in an official ca
pacity. as well as the conference direc-
tors. will sit at the dinner.
That the directors and coaches will
conclude to continue athletics is re-
sarded as. certain. Director Clyde Will
dams, of!Ames, and the coaching staff
here, early in the war. when Harvard.
Wisconsin, etc., were moved on the
spur Of the situation to call off all ath-
letics. declared for themselves that the
stopping OF athletics was all wrong.
The patriotic institutions which cur
tailed their athletics probably all will
return to resumed athletics on the
theory that athletics are help rather
than a hindrance to the nation at war.

ONION DEALERS INDICTED.
Boosting Prices and Hoardina Supplies
Are Charged.

Boosting Prices and Hoardina Supplies
Are Charged.
Boston, May 25.--Eighty- eight cor
porations and individuals were indict-
ed by the federal grand jury here for
conspiring to monopolize interstate
commerce in onions
The indictments, which were re
turned as result of a nation wide in
quiry into the cost Of food conducted
last winter by United States Attorney
George w. Anderson of this city, allege
that the defendants divided the terri
tory Of the country between them Tor
the purpose OF eliminating competi-
ton; that maximum prices were fixed
for the purchase of onions, and that
the supply was boarded in order to in
crease prices.
Mr.. Anderson estimated that the an
nual crop Of onions amounted to 20O,-
100000 pounds, three -fourths Of which
he said was alleged to have been con-
trolled by the defendants.
In a statement outlining the case,
Mr.. Anderson said:
''The gist !of the charge Is that the
defendants have maintained national
onion association, composed Of large
onion dealers who buy up bulk of the
onions Of the northern states during the
summer and early fall storing them
in warehouses owned or controlled by
the various members and putting them
upon the market from September to
April. The government charges that
this association has had a dominating
and Illegal control Of the onion trade
Tor the last three years.
"The government expects to show
that as early as September, 1915. at
least Is per cent Of the years crop,
then harvested, was in control or the
members Of this association.
'F'or the 1916 crop the producers
probably received less than 2 cents
per pound. in midwinter many q these
onions were sold to retailers and thru
them to consumers at 10 to Is cents a
pound"
