System to Regulate Prices.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Harry a.
Wheeler, food administrator for I'LL
nois and federal administrators here,
today announced that after weeks of
theorizing and practice, they believe
they had devised systems practical
for cities throughout the country IN
regulating food prices.
The program which has been in
the making since the appointment of
Herbert Hoover will be tried out in
many larger cities Immediately and
gradually extended to smaller towns,
Wheeler said.
Chicago will regulate the country's
meat prices.
While the active price control will
be carried on here by j. p. Cotton,
former chief counsel for the shipping
board, other cities are to be ap-
praised of the plan and the system
made nationwide
For more than a month the food
administration has been working
away devising plans, announcing fair
prices and attempting to regulate
margins Of wholesalers and retailers
with the result that today virtually
the entire state IS paying less for all
foods than three months ago, ac-
cording to Wheeler. The success OF
the plans was seen in the fact that
the majority Of retailers for the past
week have quoted to the public the
same prices announced by the admin
istration as fair" The meat com
mission Is trying TO reduce the con-
sumption and conserve the supply.
There Is not a shortage Of meat ac-
cording to Cotton. Lack of ships
has made it impossible to get the
usual large supplies from Australia
and South America and it is up to
the United States to feed the allies
broken, Cotton says.
According to the administrators,
the country will not go back TO form
err "wasteful methods" after the war.
| They predict the system established
will live.
Meat Prices Next Month.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-The first meat

Hoover declared today.

COCKTAILS WON'T
WORK WITH MAN
CALLING HIM LIAR

Vigorous denial OF the charge that
he leaned toward the steel interests
and a point blank allegation that
former Chairman Denman, Of the
Shipping Board, misrepresented him
on many occasions, was made by Gen
eral Cocktails today in an interview.
The interview appears In today's
Philadelphia Public Ledger and
quotes General Cocktails at length at
various times while the shipping
controversy waged.
General Goethals insists that he was
misQuoted in the speech he delivered
before the steel men in New York, and
that the Misrepresentation was seized
upon by his opponents in Washington
and throughout the country to embar-
rass him by referring 20 him as "a
tool of the Steel trust"
He says he was not satisfied that
tS5 q ton was the lowest price at
which steel could be purchased for
ney Baruch, OF the Council OF National
Defense. TO get a reduction, but the
latter failed to obtain a reduction.
Asked to explain why his name had
been identified with the steel inter-
ests In tn" controversy, General
Goethals said:
Because the whole situation has
been utterly misrepresented. 1t all
comes from the erroneous report OF
my speech at the steel dinner in New
York ! was reported to have said
that I would build steel instead of
wooden ships and that wooden ships
were impossible. What / really said
was that I would build steel and
wooden ships, but that I felt that
plan OF wholesale wooden shipbuild-
ing was impossible. This makes all
the difference. Mr.. Denman accept
ed my statement as It appeared in the
newspapers and made no effort to
verify It before attacking me. He
has made grave insinuations against
me. You can't work with 4 man who
calls you a liar, you know"
