 COMMISSION HANDS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.-An for government control of news print paper which would have placed au- thority with the president was defeated today in the senate which voted to place the power entirely with the fed eral trade commission. Another vote will be necessary before the resolution is finally passed.
 After the vote, which came at the close of a debate that had been in pro- gress almost continuously since Janu- ary Senator Smith of Arizona, who was in charge of the resolution, an nounced that he would continue his ef- forts to have the government take over control of the print paper industry. He said he would seek to have the house adopt and send to the senate a similar measure in slightly changed form.
 In debate attacks made on the reso- lution both by democrats and republi- can senator's Senator Knox termed it incomprehensible and vicious in its purpose" No institution has shown
 more loyalty to the government than the press, he said. adding 'as the
 newspapers seem to understand the
 viciousness of this bill, the more they
 are inclined to oppose it.
 Senators Harding and Hitchcock
 both newspaper owners, also opposed | the measure, the former declaring that | it would only hinder the importation oi pulp from Canada and embarrass the publishers.
 Senators King and Fernald argued that it was not a war measure but 6 bill to turn private enterprises over tC l the government while Senator Ree6 classified it as "a disgrace" to the sen-
 ate and Senator Shoot asserted il
 would prove the greatest censorship ever imposed.
 | On the final vote 2 democrats anC five republicans supported the resolu- | tion and twelve democrats and A re- publicans opposed it.
 | The federal trade commission is pre- pairing to fix news print paper price. under an agreement reached by thu manufacturers with the commission | and department of justice.

PACKERS OPPOSE
 REGULATION TIL
 THEY ARE SHOWN
Republican A. P. Leased WIre1

ST. PAUL, Jan. 15.-Leadine- meat packers are opposed to government ownership of plants until it is shown that private control is absued. is the assertion of William Migivny. president of South St. Paul Union Stockyards company. at the investi- gation by the federal trade com mission today. Mr Magivny de- clared the more successful packers welcome smaller concerns in their field.
 J. T. McMillan, president of the McMillan Packing company, had tes- tlfled that he was unable to get q bonus from the stock yards company. as an inducement to erect a plant in South St. Paul.
 He told of negotiations for a bonus under questioning by Francis J. Heney, commission council.
 They had progressed far enough. he said, to assure his company a big quota of hogs and to be allowed to purchase land on which to build plant. For his property in St Paul proper, MT. McMillan said he was offered S50,000, but added that he would erect new buildings h South St. Paul if he moved there.
  pany contained no promise of bonus or anything else,' Mir McMilIan said, 'so we decided not to go.''
 John H. Bangs, local manager for Swift X Co.,, and vice president of the Stockyards National bank, who. MT. McMillan said, represented the stockyards in the negotiations, tes- tified that ho inducements had been offered the McAIillan firm other than the proposed land sale.
 Concerning relative hog prices paid, Mir. Bangs testified that varying freight charges accounted for the margin between the Chicago and South St. Paul prices. the latter being 25 cents under Chicago quo- tations.
 Regarding ownership of yards. A. A. Mckechnie. secretary of the Union Stockyards company, said that when Swift and company became interested | in the yards the capital was raised | from s1.O0o.000 to s2.0OO,00o, the ad- ditiobal million going to tke Swifts

IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON Jan. 15.-Legisla- tion to be pressed by the senate mili tary committee for one-man control of war supplies probably will provide for an administrator with broad powers under the president instead of creating the new department and cabinet off cer to which President Wilson and Sec retary Baker object. Chairman Cham berlain and other members of the com mittee indicated tonight that the Chamberlain bill proposing secretary of munitions would be so amended be- fore it reached the senate for con- sideration.
 The committee which plans to sus- pend temporarily it's investigation of army preparations Thursday to give attention to legislation, heard tonight Walter $. Clifford, director of the Coun- cil of National Defense, who approved the plan for individual centralization, under the president, of authority to di- rect industrial coordination and gov ernment war purchasing, as outlined yesterday by Daniel Willard, chairman, and Bernard M. Burch of the war in- dustries. MT. Clifford said the war de- partment reorganization ordered by SeCTeldIy Ddhel Is utlGSliNt III lldl II fails to place munitions authority in one person and also relies upon volun- tary effort. He also opposed making the munitions director or administrator 1 a cabinet officer.
 Work of the civilian advisory bodies was defended by Clifford who said they had saved the government several bil- lions of dollars on supply contracts. Before suspending its inquiry tomor- row the committee will hear a state ment by Waddill Catchings of New York, representing the United States Chamber of Commerce. It will then be- l gin consideration of the Chamberlain bill and other legislation including ar- my bills, submitted by the war depart ment for the registration of men be- coming of age since the first draft reg istration was authorized and making other important changes in the drafi law.

An official check of the funds of the army bang of Camp Funston shows Captain Lewis Wheeler stole S62, when he robbed the bank last Friday night and killed four men with an axe and injured fifth. The accounting was final and was given out at division headquarters this afternoon.
 The check was made by force of clerks under the direction of the division advocate general.
 No trace of the missing money has been found, so var as can be learned here. It is generally un- derstood, however, that the inves- tieators, have evidence leading them to believe that the money has been sent or taken away from the csntonment.
 William Hutting of Kansas City, Mo-, president of the National Re- serve bank of that city, of which the army bank was a branch, an nounced through divisional head quarters that the stolen money will be replaced by him as owner Of the bank. He already has made good on deposits of S5o,oo0 he said.

STORMS CONTINUE ID HALT TRAFFIC
 AND FUEL SUPPLY
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Against the worst storm of a generation, the government railroad administration today struggled in an effort to open main travelled routes and to keep coal and food shipments moving over lines best able to handle them.
 The situation was regarded as worse than at any time within the last week. On top of an accumu- latioK of snow in the middle west came fresh snowfall today. Snow blows went to work on new drifts while gangs of laborers tackled yards and terminals already once cleared.
 Temperatures were rising in most sections tonight, but it was not warm enough to release cars frozen to sidings or to thaw thousands of cars with coal contracted in their car ries. Telegraph and telephone wires went down under snow and ice and many passenger trains, re-established yesterday, were withdrawn again, lest they be stalled also.
 Only coal and food kept moving and these went slowly.
 Officials believe fuel shortage may soon close some industries. Measures are being planned to safeguard do
 
 distribute the remainder to most es sential industries.
 Railroad administration officials acknowledge they could do little against the weather except to dis. tribute cars, locomotives and SLOW fighting apparatus to districts where need is greatest. Accordingly, the American Railway Associations car service commission, now moved te offices beside those of Director Gen. eral McAdoo, issued orders for trans Ger of cars to certain lines.
 The anthracite mines of Pennsyl- eania got their full supply of cars about $500 being loaded during tn, day, and coal went to New Eng land by all the rail gateways ant by water from Hampton Roads.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Resi- dents of five western states may eat all the beef they want on meatless days but no other meats, under a ruling by the food admin istration designed to meet a pecu- liar situation in California, Wash ington, Oregon, Neveda and Ari- zona.
 In the five states, the food ad ministration was shown, it has grown less and less profitable to raise catteI because of mounting feed costs. Growers have on hand large numbers which they are forced to market. Railroad con qestion, too, has made it hard to get their cattle to the eastern sea- board.
 The situation was outlined to food administration officials at the recent conference here of state food administrators and it now has been ruled that no effort would be made to restrict the consump- ton of beef in the six states. The ruling does not apply to any other states.

learned much since then as to how
Germany had sought to control
Rumania and as the foundation of
the Rumanian territorial claims.
Rumania was put out of the war,
but not until Russia had been be-
trayed and played into German
hands. The usurpine government
confiscated Rumania official funds
