LAW FOR U. S. TO FIX
FOOD PRICES FRAMED
Is Result Of Big Offer by Chr
CagO Packers.

Washington, April 1S.-Legislation
to empower the council of national de-
Tense to supervise distribution of food
and If necessary set maximum and
minimum prices is bein| named as
one of the results or \ Conference be-
tween the great Chicago meat pack
ers and Secretary Houston of the de-
partment of agriculture.
Headed by J. Ogden Armour, dele,
cation of the foremost packers, includ-
ing Edwin Morris, E. A. Cudahy,
Thomas E. Wilson and L. F. Swift, as
sured Secretary Houston Of their ut
most cooperation and voluntarily pro-
posed that the government take steps
to set prices through the council Of
national defense. The licensing Of
food distributing agencies so the gov
eminent may trace any movements Of
middlemen or others to monopolize
supply or force increases in prices is
one of the features of the plan the
packers proposed.
AS their own "bit" in defending the
nation the packers offered a plan to
distribute their products at a mini
mum of profit to themselves and one
of them estimated the saving to the
public would approximate at least
$100,000,000 a year.

Died Suddenly on Friday
Morning at Canadian
Border Town.
LONG IN Federal Service

John J. Abel, aged about IS years,
former sheriff Of Kenosha county, and
long prominent in the political life of
Kenosha county and this section of Wis
consin, died suddenly at Minot, North
d., Friday morning, according to tele-
grams. No details Of the death Of
the former sheriff were given in the
messages from the city on the Canadian
border. When relatives and friends
heard a few days ago he was declared to
have been in excellent health and it is
thought possible that the death may
have been the result of an accident.
John j. Abel was a native of Den
mark but he spent much of his life in
Kenosha. He came to Kenosha nearly
fifty years ago when he was just turn
ing into young manhood and for more
than twenty years he had held office
with the county and the federal govern
ment. He was elected and served one
term as sheriff of the county and at
the expiration of his term he was named
as one of the federal immigration in
spectors. Since that time he had been
stationed at points along the Canadian
border. He was one of the Oldest men
in the border service and he had been
connected with lot of notable fights
against smuggling at these points. He
had been declared by the department.
employing him to be one of the most
valuable men in the employ Of the gov
eminent.
Mr. Abel was widely known among
the Danish American residents of Keno
sha. He had been active in the DANA
Society and the Danish Brotherhood and
was a member of many other organiza-
tons in Kenosha. He was one of the
charter members of the Kenosha lodge
of Elks and he had retained his connec-
ton with the order during the years he
had been stationed at distant govern
ment posts.
Mr.. Abel is survived by FIVE sons,
Edward and Otto Abel residing in Cali
fornia. Walter who is district attor-
ney at Sparta, Wis.,, and Theodore, who
is postmaster at Coalingo, Cal, and
Chester Abel, of Chicago. Two daugh-
tiers, the Misses Thora and Emma Abel,
reside in Chicago.

KEEP MOVEMENTS DARK.
Council Committees are Scheduled But
Members of Committee on Com
mittees Pledge Secrecy.

The council standing committees for
the new year are all made up, but if
you are interested, you will have to
see the aldermen of your ward or wait
until Friday night for the real dope.
A lot Of excellent guesses have been
made as to how the aldermen have been
lined up for committee work, but if the
committee recommending the list has
declared to be secretive about their
work, you will just have to wait. AL
derman Shearer who was chairman of
the committee said today, "There has
not been a great many changes in the
makeup of the committee and when
we got through with the work we
agreed to keep quiet until after the
council received the report on Friday
night. No, [ do not care to say who
was named as chairman of any of the
committees. Of course there have been
changes, but we had an understanding
as far as possible the old committee
alignments would be followed

for the separation of Austria Hungary
from Germany and the conclusion Of
an agreement with the Entente.
The basis of this arrangement, the
correspondent says. was the cessfon
by Austria-Hungary of part of Ga1icia,
the Trentino, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
as an Offset against which it would re-
ceive Bavaria mad Silesia after Ger
many's defeat This proposal was
given in such a formy says the CORE
spondent, that Mr.. Penfield realized
the uselessness OF prolonging his stay
in Vienna.
