Republican A. P. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, June 29.-F'urther government use of pneumatic mail tube systems in six large cities was blocked today by a presidential veto of the postoffice appropriation bill, with a provision that the postoffice department retain the tubes until next March, pending an investigation by the interstate commerce commission D determine the advisability of their purchase by the government.
 When an attempt to pass the bill over the veto failed in the house, both the house and senate repassed the measure with the provision objected to eliminated.
 In his veto, President Wilson sup ported Postmaster General Burleson, who has made a fight for the aban- donment of the tube system as obso- lete and useless because of the growth of the volume of mail and the develop ment of the automobile.
 Contracts for the operation of the tubes in New York City, Brooklyn Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and St Louis expired Monday.

rRepublican A. P. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON June 29.-Profiteer- ing on a tremendous scale in practi cally all the basic commodities of life was reported to the senate today by the federal trade commission as the result of an exhaustive investigation.
 1nordinate greed and bare faced fraud as well as "War pressure for heavy production" the commission re- ported as the causes.
 Reappraisements of properties were made by great concerns when it be- came evident the government was about to fix prices on a basis of return on investment, the report says, and salaries, allowances and expenses were in many instances padded to show in creased costs of conducting business.
 Increase and Hold Prices
 The outstanding feature of it's in vestigation, the commission reported was the evidence of tendency to in- crease and maintain prices against the forces of competition.
 Of all the big profits disclosed by the investigation, the report shows the profits of the meat packers and those allied with them and by the flour millers stand foremost despite the fixing of prices by the govern ment.
 Mani pulation by Packers
 Manipulations of the market by the five great packers-Armour, Swift Morris, Wilson and Cudahy-the com mission asserts, embrace every device that is useful to them without regard to law.

COUNTY SENDS
 MORE THAN |TS
 QUOTA T0 WAR
With Departure of 31 Men
 Last Night Call Upon
 Class 1 Satisfied and Slight Credit Is Gained

With the leaving of 31 men last night for military service at Camp Cody, Maricopa county went over its quota for Class 1 men. and therefore the additional number will help to fill up the balance of Arizona's quota, which has not yet been filled.
 The new soldiers. together with number of partial service men who will leave for Vancouver barracks tonight. were given a good by dinner at the Rose Tree by the soldiers entertain ment committee of the Phoenix Cham Der of Commerce.
 Women Clash at Station
 The train bearing the contingent left for Camp Cody over the Southern Pa cific at o'clock. There were several hundred persons at the train to see the boys off and to bid them good luck As the train pulled out and amid the farewell cheers, salutes and tears. two women sprung at each other like tigers and began to claw each others hair and faces. Sheriff w. H. Wilky and others rushed forth and separated the infu- riated women. One said the other was the cause of her husband being sent to war and that she would have ven l finally getting them pacified, and then saw that they were sent toward their | homes in automobiles. Otherwise the | departure of the boys was marked only by manifestations of peace and good will.
 Anticipate Formal Call
 1 One remarkable feature of this con- tingent was that nearly all of the men volunteered out of their turns, that is, they asked the local board to elevate Class l so that they could get in the service at once. The original Class 1 of Maricopa county was exhausted with
 the leaving of the big contingent, over 400 men. last month.
 Farewell Dinner Given
 The good by dinner at the Rose Tree under the immediate direction of A. A.
 Betts, chairman of the soldiers con- mittee, was one of the most enjoyable entertainments since the boys flocke6 to the colors last summer. The dinner itself was most excellent, served at o'clock, when everybody was hungry Aside from brief farewell talk by Mr
 Betts there was no speech making and
 no demonstrations, other than those oi applause.

 ON WHEAT MONDAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON, June 29.-After an unsuccessful effort by Senator Martin of Virginia, democratic leader, to have the senate abandon it's proposal to increase the government minimum guarantee wheat price to 52.50, an agreement was reached tonight to take vote on the question Monday. Senators Gore of Oklahoma, Gronna and McCumber of North Dakota, Borah of Idaho, and others from wheat producing states, vigorously objected to Senator Martins proposal. They urged the senate to stand by it's price increase until the snow flies" despite the prospect of a dead lock with the house causing failure of the important agricultural appro- priation bill to which the increase provision is attached as a rider.
 Attack Made on Hoover
 During the debate, Senator Reed of Missouri made another vehement attack upon Food Administrator Hoover.
 "The millers were taken under the wing of the food administration and were absolutely guaranteed against loss" Senator Reed said. Their profits were multiplied three fold. Every time Mir Hoover regulated prices for the capitalists he has regu- lated them up.
 MT. Hoover organized the packers in a pool trust. He took care to see that they had no reason to pro test. He took care to. see that he put money in their pockets. Large profits are outside his vision. He can not see the profit of the millers or l the packers"
