Secretary McAdoo Asking
 Congress to Authorize the Formation of Half
 Billion Dollar Corporation
TRepublican A.P. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-Creation of what would be virtually government pool of all corporate financing for the period of the war, was recommended to congress today by Secretary McAdoo who asked the formation of half billion dollar government corporation.
 In effect the plan would give broad powers to the corporation, to dictate into what channels the nations avail able credit should be directed
 The system would be similar to that maintained by Germany, and much more centralized than the British sys- tenn which relies more on voluntary CO., operation of financiars in aiding enter prises approved by the treasury.
 Railroad financing would not be in cluded as this is to be managed by the railroad administration.
 Most loans would be for a period of five years or less, and would be made only to the corporations or enterprises which could not get new capital through regular banking channels. In terest rates would be determined by the corporation. Advances to saving banks would be for ninety days, and loans direct to war industries would be made only in exceptional circum- stances, most financial transactions be- ing sent through banking channels. The corporation would have life of ten years, but would be compelled to start liquidating it's affairs within six months after the end of the war.
 If the legislation is enacted, the ma chinery created would replace the fed eral reserve boards newly created cap ital issues committee, which is about to start a system of passing on pro- posed capital issues, based on voluntary cooperation of banks and business enterprises.

CHICAGO Jan. 2S.-The coal card was put into effect for Chicago con- sumers today, the second heatless Monday.
 Large dealers were authority for the statement that the city's fuel situation was more critical. than ever before.
 Suffering because of the coal short age is also said to be increasing in the state. At German valley fifty families were reported without coal and at Shannon, Carroll county, shade trees are being used as fuel.
 The order for the use of fuel cards in Chicago was caused by a desire to prevent hoarding and to assure equal distribution. No consumer is to receive more than a three weeks supply of fuel.

 SINCERELY FORMED
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

A PACIFIC PORT, Jan. 2S. - The Bolsheviki movement is not being fos- tered by agencies favorable to Ger many, according to Professor Edward A. Ross, professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin.
 Professor Ross arrived here today from Russia, where he made a special investigation of the Bolsheviki move ment on behalf of the American h. stitute of Social Service of New York
 The Bolsheviki movement is sin cere, Professor Ross said, springing from the heart of Russia itself and having as its object the liberation of the people, the establishment of world peace and the institution of a system of pure industrial socialism.
 Tatiana and Olga Romanoff, daugh- ters of the former czar, were reported to be espousing the Bolsheviki cause and attending radical meetings in To- bolsk, Professor Ross said.
 Naturally enough" Professor Ross said, the BolshevilSi government is composed of men with no great ex- ecutive and financial ability, but men with this experience are rapidly join ing and the new government thus may be bolstered into permanence.

RECORDS SHOW
 METHODS USED
 TO HOLD PRICE
Big Five" Divided Both
 Supply and Demand" to Make Profit Out of Big Meat Market of Country
[Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. - Reports of livestock receipts, shipments and prices as received daily by the big backing concerns were put into the record of the deferal trade commits sions meat packing investigation to- day, as part of the evidence which Francis J. Heney, special counsel, said would show how the packers divide the supply and control the prices to their own advantage.
 Ownership of the stock yards and terminal railroads, and directorships in many trunk line roads, MT Heney said, gave the packers an advantage In obtaining this information which nobody else could have.
 Walter Twombly, an investigator, testified that Swift & Co.'S daily re- port from all the big markets was re- quired to be in by 7:30 a. m. and not later than 7:45. before the days busI- ness begun and furnished a basis on which all purchases were made.
 Purchases of livestock, according to the packers figures, varied little pro- portonately from year to year, and conformed closely in percentage to fig ures previously introduced as indicat- ing a non- competitive distribution be- tween the "big five"-Swift, Armour, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson-of all the livestock buying in the United States. Thus, for instance, Swift's purchases of cattle at all markets in 1913-1914 was 34.01 per cent of the whole and In 19l5-1916 was 345S per cent, while the same firms purchases of hogs in 1913 were 36.57 per cent and in 1916 were 3604

Aureement to Purchase

Reference to an agreement as to purchases were frequent in letters taken from the packers files, along with instructions to buyers to take certain percentage of the cattle or- cred.
 Make effort to get closer in line,' was an instruction sent by Thomas E. Wilson to his firms buyer regarding the Oklahoma City market, and the buyer replied that he had been telling his men for two weeks to Hay back and purchase less until the price was Tn line with Kansas City. The same buyer also said he always had in structed his men never to interfere with anotehr buyer making a pur- chase, "as we were only putting the cattle upon each other"
 Senator Thompson of Kansas took the stand during the day to make statement regarding correspondence put in evidence characterizing him as a good man for the packers to "stay close to-" He testified that he had handled no business whatever for the packers. Mir. Heney told the commits sion that the correspondence had been introduced to show the packers meth ods and not with any idea of reflectinS on the senator whom he felt sure to be innocent of anything improper.
 Additional disclosures found in the packers confidential files will be in- troduced tomorrow if delayed mail ar rlves.
