KING WILL PRESS
PLANFOR INQUIRY
AT CENTER MARKET

The proposed investigation OF the
Center Market will be pressed by
Senator King OF Utah, author of the
resolution for such an investigation,
now that the war tax bill has been
passed by the Senate and the rush of
business in that body has to some ex-
tent lessened.
Senator King is strongly in favor
OF the establishment OF a municipal
market in Washington, and is anxious
TO see the inquiry made and to have
it followed by legislation which will
be a model for other municipalities.
The resolution for an investigation
has gone to the Senate District Com
mittee. and is in the hands of a sub
committee. Senator King expects to
have an early meeting OF the subcom-
mittee to consider the proposed In
vestigation. At this meeting the
scope of the prospective inquiry will
be taken up.
Senator King said today he did not
know just what scope the investIga-
ton would take. He believes that the
fact that the District Commissioners
are in favor OF the investigation and
will cooperate in the conduct of IL
will have much weight
Personally, I should like to see q
municipal market" said Senator
King. 81 am in favor OF having the
District government conduct the mar
ket and buy and sell produce, elimi-
mating the middle man. I believe
is an excellent field for
such q plan, as there would be no
politics to interfere with IT."

QUEEN SEEN

INTRIGUES

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Brit
ish newspapers, almost without ex-
ception, today point out the part
which the Queen Of Sweden, of Ger
man blood, has played in the inter-
national intrigue exposed by Secre-
tary of State Lansing.
Says the Pail Mall Gazette: "The
Swedish government has a very bad
record behind it. The German con-
sort at Stockholm has almost rivaled
the part played by the Kaiser's sis
ter at Athens.
Nation Not Indicted.
-T should be borne in mind that
the Swedish nation Is not itself in
dicted. But the diplomats and the
German Queen are involved in one
OF the gravest, most fragrant scan
dals Of modern times"
Other newspapers point out that the
intrigue Is not surprising IN view OF
the roles played by the Queen Of
Greece, who lost her husband a throne
through her pro-German machina-
lions, and the former Czarina of Rus
STA. whose sympathy for the Ger
mans probably cost Car Nicholas his
place as ruler Of all the Russias.
