During all the time of her resi-
dence on the Irwin ranch she was a
model wife and mother. and the hos
pitality of the ranch was always ex-
tended to every n who came and
stopped there. She was universally
beloved by all who had the good for
tune to know her and partake of her
hospitality.
Her husband died in 1894. and she
was buried by his side on the Irwin
ranch on October 3. the funeral SER
vices being read by r. A. Dean. the

Mrs. Irwin is survived by four
children, Mrs. Hermina Irving, Mrs.
Imogene Hanover. Paul and Ralph
Irwin, as well as by three grand
children and four great grandchild-
rem. all of whom live on the Irwin
ranch. AS one of the kindest of
mothers they mourn her loss greatly
and we all sympathize with them.

HASTE ON FOOD BILL
ATTACKED BY REED
Missouri Senator Declares Legisla-

The verbal onslaught in store for
the food control bill was begun yes
terday afternoon by Senator Reed, Of
Missouri. Hardly had the conference
report upon the bill been introduced
when Reed launched a tremendous at
tack. He spoke for two and a half
hours. Then agreed-upon time for
adjournment arrived.
Senator Chamberlain had moved to
bring up the conference report. Reed
tried to get an aye and nay vote.
Ashurst, who occupied the chair. said
that not enough Senators seconded
this request.
Il protest and 7 shall continue to
protest" said Mr.. Reed.
'It seems to me that sometimes
recently in the Senate men have lost
sight Of the fact that we are doing a
part OF the worlds history. Some
men seem TO think OF personal aggran-
dizement, of political success. Others
say, Well. what's the use? The
things going 10 be done. Why should
we protest? Others say, Put the re-
sponsibility upon the President
I'VE cannot put the responsibility
upon the President. We could not do
that IL we wished. The only way we
can escape our responsibility is by re-
signing our offices.
I'VE have had great pressure
brought upon US to pass this bill.
The lash has been brought across the
legislative back and the more we feel
it, the more we cringe. The telegraph
companies have reaped fortunes car
rying messages reading. Stand by the
President How should We stand by
the President At his side in the
role OF advisors? Or behind his back
like cowards?"
''They told US that II the food sur
vey bill were not passed. the fam
ished skeletons of the people were to
fall like windrows of bones"
''The conferees upon the bill did
not represent the Senate" he said.
yet today we are asked to hurry
the bill. The lash of haste is applied.

TINY BABY IS FOUND
SNUGGED in BASKET
Search Is Begun for Mother Who
Left Child in Alley.

Early last night the cries Of a
baby in Hickey lane, back of the
rear of Doyle's dairy. attracted the
attention OF August Zinkey, who
was on his way home. Mr.. Zinkey
groped his way through the dark
ness, guided by the cries Of the
Child. He found a basket in
which a 2-week-old white boy had
been snugly packed and aban-
doned by its mother. The child was
turned over TO the police of the
Ninth precinct and later sent to St
AIMS Orphan Asylum. The baby
is a husky, brighT-eyed little fell
low, and when first taken into the
glaring lights of the police station
blinked. cooed and made friends
with the big policemen, who view
cd the unfortunate waif. The
infant seems in perfect health. and
Is comfortably clothed. Nothing
about the clothing, however, would
lead to the identity Of the mother,
for whom the police are searching.
There. was no note in the basket.

OF COAL
TO TAKE DROP
Federal Trade Commission
Determined to Put Ban
on War Profits.

Slashing reductions in the price Of
coal may be expected within the next
week. They will come none too soon
to ease the mind of President Wilson
and his Cabinet advisers, who are
more gravely concerned at the moment
with the relation between the high
cost Of living and labor unrest than
with any other war problems.
In its cost investigations the Fed
eral Trade Commission has already
found that high coal costs are this
basis OF almost every other high cost
The Labor Department has found
high living costs at the bottom of
every one of the labor troubles which
it has succeeded in temporizing dur
ing the last month.
1t is because the country faces the
most serious industrial disturbances
unless living costs are reduced that
the administration is so vigorous in
its insistence on the passage OF the
food control bill and the prosecution
of the Trade Commissions cost inves-
legations.
The Federal Trade Commission will
not only finish its determination of
costs within a few days, but, armed
with the power to fix prices contained
in the Pomerene amendment to the
food control bill, the commission will
say just what price should be charged
to give the operators a fair profit
and maintain miners living conditions.
Commission Takes Hand.
Chairman Harris, of the Trade Com
mission. said yesterday:
'Twenty-six per cent of all railroad
tonnage is coal. That affords a fair
measure of the importance of coal in
the question OF high costs as a
whole"
Not all coal operators will be forced
to charge the same price. The COM
Missions determination will be based
upon careful analyses OF costs in each
individual case. But It was stated on
high authority in the commission that
the figures already assembled show
that the costs for IS per cent of the
coal mined in this country are about
the same.
The labor department Is already in
possession of information warranting
the most serious concern on this
score. Last winter when coal prices
scared landlords throughout the
country sought TO raise, rents. They
are already planning to meet this sit
uation ahead of time this year when
leases are renewed in October The
labor department is extremely. anxious
that the coal determination be made
before this time. for universal in
creases of rents then would stir up
fresh troubles.
