estimated at $5,OOO0OO, forced the
evacuation of q large part of the town
of Kingsland and made 1000 people

be learned there were no fatalities, al
though II wcTkmen are said to be

and the western end of Long Island
listened to a bombardment that ap-
pr0ximated the sound of great bat

than half million 3-inch high ex-
pfosive shells were discharged.
The reason for there being no fatali-
ties is chiefly because the shells, which
were being loaded for the Russian gov

u. S. GETS EGG BOARD DATA
Government Agents Seize Papers at
Chicago After Price
Boost

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Files and records
of the Chicago butter and egg board
were seized by agents of the federal
department of justice to discover
whether the egg commissioners are re-
sponsible for price fixing, bringing eggs
to 80 and 60 cents a dozen. In 1914
Judge Lands issued an injunction re-
straining the butter and egg board
from working together to fix prices.
This government action was unexpect-
ed. 1t was sprung while the explain
ers were saying the egg price was fixed
by the tremendous demand and small
supply. They said there were fewer
than 100000 eggs in Chicago cold
storage and Chicago uses 100000 eggs
/ day. Officials of the board viewed
The government action with equanimi-
". They turned over without question
records, files, correspondence and data
concerning thousands of transactions.
