Joseph Petrosino came to Italy in

Palermo, Sicily. Grigg has been warned
TO abandon the effort TO return Cocchi
to the United states.
Judge Zucconi. the investigating mag
istrate in Cocchrs case, states that Grigg
has been Of great assistance to him in
investigating the matter OF Coochi's
guilt. The Judge intimates that months
must elapse before the investigation here
can be concluded. and that the New York
authorities must recognize the primary
duty Of the italian courts 70 clear up the
investigation before the matter OF extra
dition can be considered.
The impression is strengthened that
italy will never consent to extradte
Cocchi and that the Government will ask
the New York authorities to supply docu-
mentary evidence sufficient to Justify a
prison sentence in this country.

Pomerory Burton, general manager Of
Lord Northcliffe's two chief papers,
placed very serious statement before
his hearers. He said there was vital
need for interest and action, IN this
country.
Mr. Burton thus summarized the Eu-
ropean situation:
France war tired. and her man power
declining.
England straining hard under her inn
mense war burdens and those OF the
Allies she is carrying. and her man
power at its top notch now.
ITALY seriously crippled by lack of
coal and food.
Russia In a state OF uncertainty.
which causes intense anxiety throughout
the civilized world
The submarines destroying more than
half million tons OF shipping a month
and the demands upon shipping for sup
plying food and essential materials ia
both allied and neutral countries grow

, front. with appalling casualty lists fol
! all the countries engaged. continuing
with cruel regularity. and no decision in

Mr.. Burton predicted that IL any dis.
aster came to the British heavy feet ths

that the people realize that the war ID

plotting War, Reports,
Chicago Panel.

CHICAGO. July 2.--Exploitation OF war
conditions to raise food prices to con-
somers "for the benefit Of the few who
are handling food products" was re-
ported by the Federal Grand Jury to-
day after an investigation OF several
weeks
The EIgin Board OF Trade, where are
nned butter prices taken as standard
throughout the country. received es-
peciaI attention from the Grand Jury,
which pointed out that the board holds
only one ifteen minute session each
week
borad Is a real and bona fide market for
the purchase and sale OF butter" COM
ments the report
Trading in canned foods, the Grand
Jury found, Ia carried on under a system
which compelled the consumer to deal
with middlemen and prevented trading
directly with the Gamer.
"If retailers attempt to resist the
combination by purchasing directly from
the canner," says the report, they md
II impossible to do any further business
with the Wholesalers or tobbers as to
other groceries.
This situation compeis the consumer
to pay the expense OF maintaining these
mIddlemen. who exert the power that In
heres fn,fhis system TO extort uncon-
scionable profits from consumers, with
no, proportionate benefit to the farmers,
canners and such retailers as are satis-
ned with a reasonable profit above the
cost"
1t is pointed out that canned tomatoes
in the spring Of 1916 were sold through
brokers for future delivery to whole
salers and jobbers at 30 cents a dozen
cans, while these same tomatoes are be-
ing sold to-day by wholesalers and Job
bers to retailers for t2.2S and more a
dozen cans.
"Tn view Of this situation" continues
the report I'VE urge the passage OF laws
TO eliminate these conditions and to re-
duce rrices to a normal basis as soon as
posslt le."
The report urged legislation to pro-
hibit cold storage companies from lend
ing large amounts on ,pertshable food
products in warehouses. which the Grand
Jury said leads to speculation and
higher, prices. Reports under oath 70
the Government on the amounts Of food
in cold storage was recommended.
Because of the short time which the
Grand Jury had for its work a thorough
examination was not possible which
would have warranted indic~mentA
against individuals. Robert W.. Childs
Special Assistant Attorney Generals said
another jury would be called coon to
continue the investigation.
Among documents obtained by the
Grand Jury In its investigation were two
circulars sent by two wholesale food
dealers 20 jobbers and statesmen. One OF
these said:
"Raise your prices now on everything
we have advised you will advance. You
can get the extra price this week as well
