 NEW YORK, Feb. 2o.-FoIlow-
 ing many clashes between the
 police and women f>pd rioters at the City Hall and in coneested tenement district today, Joseph hartingan, commissioner of weights and measures, announced that he was doing everything in his power to stimulate the flow of foodstuffs into this city from all parts of the. country.
 Reptrts received by the com missioner indicate that the situa- ton has reached an acute stage which, he asserts, calls for the establishment by congress of some sort of flood control commission to meet the per capita eonsump- ton of food in the United States"
 ExpJsr Too Much.
 While retail shopkeepers ang.push cart peddlers have been forced to bear the brunt of the assaults of the engry housewives here, the bureau of weights and measures announced that "the abnormal eXportatFon of food snffs and the sub-normal production are the underlying causes of the ad- vance in prices"
 Peddlers Are Mobbed.
 So desperate have the women in sope parts of the city become, it is said, that hundreds of food peddlers have locked their push carts in stables and suspended business. A number of these dealers who ventured out on the upper East Side today were set upon by mob of housewives when it was found fhey were selling onions at fifteen cents per pound and potatoes at nine and ten cents per pound. The peddlers were driven from the streets into railways of tenements where the women tore their clothing and scratch ed their faces. Meantime, the push carts were demolished and their con- tents strewn about the streets.
 Storm City Hall.
 After several hundred women had stormed the city hall in an effort to see the mayor, Mrs. Ida Harris, presi- dent of the Mothers Vigilance League, issued a statement in which she de clared it had been decided to keep children away from the schools until the price of food is lowered. This step, Mrs. Harris asserted, was justi- fled on the ground that the poorly fed children are in no condition to profit by schooling.
 Plenty of Sugar.
 Announcement was made tonight by Earl D. Babst, president of the Ameri- can Sugar Refining company, that housewives should pay no attention ro unfounded stories as to the short age of sugar" In. his statement MT. Babst said:
 There are ample supplies of raw and refined sugar on hand and in tran sit throughout the country to take

PHOENIX, Feb. 20.-Proceedings in the House this morning were en- livened by the introduction by Miss Marsh of Santa Cruz of a memorial to the President and congress urging adoption of an amendment to the con stitution granting woman suffrage. Mrs. O'Neill of Maricopa, one of the suffrage leaders of this state, at once raised objection to the memorial, siv- ing as her reason that it urged the adoption of the Susan B. Anthony amendment which had been made hateful to the suffragists by the Con- gressional Union and the tour through the country last fall of the million dollar special" in the interest of Mir. Hughes. After debate in which the House joined, the resolution was adopted.

Special Despatch 70 THH euN
wAsH1NQroN, Aug. s,--That attempts
among ignorant farmers and mountain
GERS, to organize armed resistance to the
draft was indicated In reports reaching
the Department Of Justice to-day.
These reports. while disduieting, were
not Of nature TO cause alarm, as
there was nothing to show the cnndi-
tons were anything but sporadic,
prompted largely by ignorance.
Agitators are apparently At work In
Oklahoma, Georgia, North Carolina,
Texas and California.
Conditions in Oklahoma appear to be
more serious than In some OF the other
states. II was discovered recently by
agents OF the Department that many
farmers had been getting letters telling
them 60 send ta5 to Hammond. Okla,

means for resisting the drafting OF their
sons. Farmers who sont the money

In the western part or the state had
begun an antl-draft campaign and were
supplying themselves with rifles and
Ammunition. As in Oklahoma. thit
spirit Of the farmers apparently has been
carefully worked out by mysterious
agents.
The Department OF Justice intends to
