WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Complaints OF
the most pronounced sort have been re-
ceived from all parts of the country in
the last day or two against the twelve
general orders" which Food Admins
traitor Hoover will put into effect next
week as n war measure In connection
with restaurants and public dining
rooms
The objections come chiefly from labor
representatives and labor unions and
are based on the fact that Mr.. Hoover
has not taken steps which will curb and
restrict prices for foodstuffs under his
new regulations.
The assertion Is made that UNDER such
curtailment in the past prices have been
raised in corresponding measure--as the
hole In the doughnut IL larger the prices
eral orders leave the prices largely to
the conscience Of the restaurant pro-
prietors.
Bases of the Objections. g.
The specific points on which objections
are made are these:
Prices for food that may be charged
by caterers and restaurateurs are left
unrestricted by Mr.. Hoover. but the
quantity of the food and the manner OF
its service are definitely curtailed and
restricted.
Garnitures are eliminated from many
dishes without provision for a core-
spending reduction In the prices.
The amount of butter and cheese that
can be served to one person is limited
to one-half ounce of each. although the
charge in virtually all eating places re-
mains unchanged for these edibles.
Sugar Is limited to q single teaspoon
ful to the meal, although Mr.. Hoover
said on his return recently from France
and England that he did not expect TO
Increase the limitations on sugar and
that virtually all restrictions would be
removed on January !.

Visor IN Imagine ton,

Some OF the works showed little or no
influence OF Japanese music. Others be-
trayed a mixture OF Inspirations. and
this was especially the case with the
two symphonic poems Both of these
compositions revealed certain vein of
Imagination, not deep or opulent, but by
no means lacking In vigor The first OF
the two suffered from the composer s
striving after elaboration OF detail. and
the work became a series OF abrupt
transitions. starts and panses and vivid
instrumental effects. The second showed
more concentration OF purpose and much
better musical results.
The suite. in three movements. had
the familiar character of Oriental sets
of pieces in dance forms. and might
have come from the workshop of an
American. The finale might have led
one to suspect the composer OF stealing
from Puccini II one had not known that

creator OF the "Mlkado." had already

IS COLORED MEN
LEAVE FOR FUNSTON

Fifteen colored draftees left Friday
at noon for Camp Funston. Practically
the entire colored population Of Mex
leo was at the station to see them off.
The men were all eager to go and in
good spirits. The ladies of the Can
teen Committee passed around cigar
cites and magazines to the men.
This was the first contingent of
men to go under the new regulations
for the transportation of drafted men.
The new rules provide that the men
must all wear khaki arm bands bear
ing the letters, U. S. N. A., UNITED
States National Army, and that
from the time that they leave their
county seat they shall be under the
rules and regulations of the Army
until they are regularly mustered in
at their objective camp. They are con-
sidered regular members Of the Ma
tional Army and are under the same
rules as enlisted men, This means that
whiskey can not be sold to them and
that the vice regulations are applied
to them as well as to men in uniform
For them to remove this arm band is
an offense which lays them liable to
the same sentence that is imposed up
on a member of the regular army
who appears in citizens clothes in
stead Of his uniform.
This mornings contingent wore the
regulation arm bands. Larry B. Spat'
ser was appointed in charge of tn;
men and his assistants are Archie

COPIED THE LEWIS
GANG Theft TACTICS

A remarkable parallel 10 the aetiy-
ites Of the Dale Jone-Frank Lewis
bandit gang was uncovered by ofie-
lals at Higbee, in tracing the past Of
Lee Crossley, alias Lee Sewell, and
Dorothy CLARK, the half-breed Indian

and sometimes as a woman; stealing
a motor a in n town TO get TO the
next; using first one alias and then
another, and constantly moving from
Place to place, the girl and tie man
managed to keep zone jump" ahead Of
the law until arrested at Higbee.
Through admissions obtained from
the girl at the Jail there, officials
were able to patch together a sub
! stantial chain of evidence and some
history of the two. This was used to
advantage in altering the previously
defiant attitude of Crossley, who fin
ally, under close questioning, admit.
ted he is wanted by the st. Louis po-
lice for grand larceny, by federal au-
thorities for desertion from the army
and by the police at Mexico for at.
tempted motor car theft.
At the Higbee Jail the Indian CIR
admitted the Ford a which they
wrecked and abandoned near Mexico
had been stolen by Crossley in st
Louis, and stated he had stolen, bu
speedily abandoned, a large touring
car the night the two left Mexico.
