.MADQQ RE FUSES
TO Be BOUND BY
OWNERSHIP PLAN
tBy Associated Press.o

Providence, r. T., Nov. 25.-The
Providence Journal says: '"rhe bas-
ic reason for the withdrawal of
William McAdoo from the cabinet is
not, as stated for. public consunp-
tion, the fact that the secretary
found it impossible to live in Wash
ington on hs official salary, but that
he found himself in total disagree
ment with what he considers the
residents set purpose to impose
government ownership or govern
ment control of all public utilities in
this country. He was determined to
remain no longer member Of a
cabinet which was fast drifting into
that policy.
"Mr. McAdoo never has been a
public ownership man. His recent
experience as director general of the
railroads not only strengthened him
in this belief, but brought him into
! continuous and acrimonious discus
sion with Mr.. Wilson and some Of
his fellow cabinet members on the
subject of the future of the rail-
roads.
Opposed Gable Seizure
when the President gave his
sanction to the taking over Of the
cables by Postmaster General A. S.
Burleson, Mr.. McAdoo vigorously OPP
posed this move as one disastrous
alike to the political fortunes OF the
administration and the. interest Of
the United States. The Journal is in
possession of the fact that he pre-
sented these ideas to Mr.. Wilson
without any n1incing Of words at the
time he wrote his letter Of resigna-
ton.
"At least two other members Of
the cabinet are in the same frame
of mind as Mr.. McAdoo, and men
within administration circles are
aware that in this attitude the in
surgents are supported by Colonel
q. NJ. House, who reached the part
ing of the ways with Mr.. BurIeson
several months ago.
Trying to Avoid False Light
'Tf Mr.. McAdoo has ambitions in
the direction of the presidential
nomination in 1920, he not only will
not be supported by friends of the
present administration, but will be
strenuously opposed by them. They
are already beginning to suggest
that the secretary Of the treasury
has seen fit to diSaSSociate himself
from Mr.. Wilson because of these
ambitions. Men who are close to
Mr.. McAdoo, however, believe he has
no desire to run for the presidency
and that the only reason for his
present step is his determination
not to put himself in a false light
among those who have been his as
sociates for years in his commercial
enterprises, who well know his at
titude on government ownership
and who would resent his further.
connection with an administration
which has started along that path.
Mr.. McAdoo's future lies in the
commercial world. His withdrawal
at this time is proof that F4e does
not intend to sacrifice the conft eaceI
and respect Of the commercial and
financial leaders who would Elatar
ly come into close contact with hiu1
in his future business careef

Chicago, Nov. 26.-With the best
quality of table butter selling at 1914
cents a pound in Chicago and strict
ly fresh eggs quoted at 7S cents a
dozen to, the consumer with a. pros
,pect that the price Of both articles
will materially increase before
spring, dealers today discussed the
causes responsible for the unprece-
dented high prices
Decreased production and a large
ly increased demand dueFto the war.
are given as the principal causes for
the. present. high prices by the
dealers. Investigators were informed
that the farmer is receiving so per
cent of the increase. The balance of
the increase is said to be divided
between the manufactures, jobber,
wholesalers and retailers. Increased
cost of production in every detail is
mentioned as another important fac
tor in the existing high prices. Rep
resentatives Of each department in
the productions of the commodities
denied they are making exorbitant
profits. Figures were submitted to
show that on butter the farmer is
receiving 597s- cents a pound or a
profit Of about " per cent, the job
ber is said to get 1 cent pound, the
wholesaler cent pound, and the
retailer cents pound profit.
In the matter of fresh eggs the
farmer it is said receives So and so
cents a, dozen for his product. This
country dealer who pays the freight
of shipping is allowed margin Of
z cents There is loss In can
ding of cents. and the cost Of car
tons amounts to cent dozen. The
retailers profit is given as cents a
dozen.
No Profiteerina
J. w. Low, president of the Chica-
go butter and egg board in state
ment today, said the present high
prices were the result Of market con-
ditions and denied charge of prof
iteering by either the producers or
the dealers.

| official reports from the Bavarian
minister at Berlin TO his home gov

many and Austria conspired to
bring about the war. 1t was for
| this reason that the terms OF AUS
tria's ultimatum to Serbia were made
80 drastic that hostiIities were bound,
to follow.
Are Official
These revelations have been pub i
lished in Munich after permission
had been asked by the Bavarian
premier and foreign minister of the
German federal government They
are in form of a report sent to Mu-
Mich on July IS, 1914, by Count Won
Lercheneld, the Bavarian minister
at Berlin.
Nicely Timed
According to the report the deIiv- Z
cry Of the ultimatum to Serbia was
delayed until after President Pom
caire and Premier yiavini of France
had gone to st. Petersburg, which
would make it difficult for the enten-
to nations to arrive at an UNDER
standing and take counter meas-.
ures.
Serbia Given No chance
Count Won LerchenfeId said that
Serbia obviously cannot accept such
conditions as viii be laid down." and
that as a consequence there must
be war" He declared that action on
the part OF Austria could not be long
delayed for that might give Ser
bia. under pressure from France and
Russia, an opportunity to offer sat-
isfaction."
Easy Conquest Figured Out
In a telegram to Munich from Ber-
lin on July 81. 1914, Count Won
Lerchenfeld said that Sir Edward
Grey s efforts to preserve peace
would Certainly not succeed In arr
resting the course of events" Later
the same day he wired information
as to ultimatums to Russia and
France. forecast their rejection by
both nations, and told of plans to
hurl Germany's armies agaist
France. which. he said. would be
said that the morale OF the French
army was poor and that it was poor

REVENUE BILL;
NAY BE FIGHT
BEFORE PASSAGE.
fRv Asaociated Press.l J


Washington, Nov. 26.-In further
revision of the war revenue Dill the
senate finance committee To-Day
struck out entirely the proposed fed
ana motorcycles, which ranged from
$40 to $50 annually in the house Dill
according to horse power, and from 30
to s25 under the plan previously
adopted by the senate committee.
This eliminated $36,000,000 in es-
tiTnated revenues under the senate
rates and about $73, 600, 900 the house
had planned to raise from this
source. Chairman Simmons explain
ed that in reducing the bill to $6,-
000,000,000 for 1919 it was found that
the motor vehicle license tax was
unnecessary. The tax ON sale of
automobiles. however, remains in the
bill.
The committee also reduced from
s to per cent the manufacturers
sales tax on pills and patent nedi-
cines but retained the five per cent
rate on perfumes, toilet waters and
similar articles. The present law
taxes pills and patent medicines two
per cent.

tion OF the excess profit rate to about
