CALLS "MEATLESS
DAYS" 4 FAILURE
Joseph p. Cotton, Head OF the Food Ad.
ministration, Meat Division, So
Described the Outcome.

Washington, d. g., March 2l.-Meat'
less days had not conserved the meat
supply, Joseph 7. Cotton, head of the
food administration meat division yes
terday told the Senate committee inyes'
tigating food supplies, but on the other
hand he believed there had been more
meat consumed on those days than usual.
This was due, he believed, to the fact
that while many persons observed the
meatless days, others who previously had
not used much meat were enabled 10 do
SO by the high wages they were receiving
and this resulted in net increase OF
consumption rather than a saving.
Mr.. Cotton denied that the food ad.
ministratiou had fixed arbitrary prices
for meats.
Stock raisers have charged that the
minimum of Sl5.50 hundred for hogs
has become the maximum and producers
are unable to receive more,
Mr.. Cotton told the committee he
hoped there never would be occasion TO
fix an arbitrary price.
The minimum price on hogs was not
fixed TO force the prices down, he said,
and he believed the feeders could make
a profit at that price.

CITY'S LIGHT BILL
REDUCED AS MATTER
WAR CONSERVATION
At Request Of Fuel Administration, the
City Cuts on Quite a Number Of
Their Street Llghts-Forest
Avenue Hit Hard.

At the last meeting of the City
Council Chairman George A. Dodson,
of the Light Committee, informed
Council that he had been requested by
the Fuel Administration representa-
tives in this county to reduce the
number of electric lights in the city
II possible in order to assist in the
great conservation program brought
about in all parts of the country be-
cause of the great war in which we
are engaged.
Mr.. Dodson was at that time given
authority to reduce the number of
lights as he saw fit and he has since
been busy on the job removing lights
in various parts Of the city which the
public can do without and at the same
time lights In prominent places or In
places where 1t is absolutely neces-
sary to have light have not been both
cred.
Forest avenue is probably affected
more than any other section of the
city because of the fact that this is a
border street between the city and
county and because much of the light
Furnished on this street was so To-
Gated that 1t benefited the people liv-
ing in the county suburbs and not es-
pecially the city residents.
While quite a number of lights have
already been done away with it is I'M
lerstood that even more are to come
in for a cutting down.
The suspension of these lights is
only temporary as matter of conser-
vation and as soon as conditions are
normal again and there is not such
marked shortage of fuel the lights
will again be put into commission by
the city officials.

ESPIONAGE LAW IS
HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Cochran Says Freedom Of
Speech Is Not Involved In
COvingtOn Case.

That Congress has the right to cur
tail free speech, if necessary to pass
laws which will enable this country
to win the war, was the declaration
of Judge A. NJ ]. Cochran, at Coying-
ton on Monday, in overruling de-
murrer to an Indictment against c. b.
Schoberg, a South Covington shoe
merchant, in which the latter was
charged in thirty-two counts with vio-
lating the espionage law
Schoberg and six other citizens of
South Covington we're arrested July
by Kenton county officials follow
ing evidence secured by the Citizens
Patriotic League of Covington by
means of a dictagraph installed in
Schobergs shoe shop.
Former United States District At
torney Sherman Mcpherson, repre-
senting Schoberg, filed demurrer to
the Indictment on the ground that the
amendment to the espionage law, as
passed May 16, was unconstitutional
in that it interferred with the right of
free speech and a free press.
Judge Cochran, in overruling the
demurrer, declared that he did not be-
lieve freedom of speech was involved
in this case and that Congress has
power to pass any legislation that will
assist in the winning of the war. He
said that the question might arise
whether the mere speaking of words
has a tendency to obstruct this
country in its war work, or if such
words might tend to favor Germany
in this war or to influence others.
"This is the first case under this
Indictment since the passage of the
amendment that has come before me,
and we must blaze the way" said the
court.

sen on the jury to try the case. They
