the american plan" for a league of
nations until it was in printed form
ready for submission to the COM
mission, and that later the basis of
discussion by the commission was
composite plan framed from the
drafts of the various nations by
himself and c. ]. P. Hurst, legal
attache of the British foreign Office.
Under questioning the witness said
he was law partner of Gordon
Auchincloss son-in-law of Col. E.
M. House, and never had any ex-
perience in international negotia-
tons until he was given an ap-
pointment in the State department
in 1917.
Hypothetical Questions.
The witness was asked many hy-
pothetical questions about the
operation of the league covenant
and his answers were objected to
several times by republican men,
bers as evasive. On some of the
questions he reserved Judgment.
1t was the opinion Of committee
members, however, that MT. Miller
would not be recalled and that no
further witnesses would be asked to
come before the committee in its
consideration of the treaty. Some
members want to ask that Colonel
House, who still is in Europe, be
called to answer questions about
the league, but the general expecta-
ton is that the proposal will be
abandoned because too great a de-
lay would result.
The republican senators who
have agreed on a reservation pro-
gram are anxious that the treaty be
disposed of at the earliest possible
moment, and it is believed they will
try to impress that sentiment at the
forthcoming conferences with Sena-
tor Lodge and others

lied are insufficient to conduct the
proposed inquiries, the letter said
Chairman Murdoch, who also is
member of the subcommittee
named by Attorney General Palmer
to submit recommendations for re-
ducing living costs, set forth in his
letter that the commission proposed
to conduct further Investigations as
to the production, storage and dis
trlbution of foodstuffs, with aim Of
arriving at figures on the real cost,
wholesale and retail prices.
So far as known, the president has
not directed any additional investi-
cations. but bills now are pending
in the house for inquiries into the
sugar and shoe industries.
The communication from the
trade commission chairman reached
the house at the close of a day
during which both branches of con-
gress gave much attention to the
cost of living problems. Appropri-
alton of $l75,000 was asked for the
secret service by Secretary Glass,
who asked that in authorizing the
appropriation, clause be inserted
to permit the use of the service op-
eratives in running down food
hoarders and prohteers.
boarding and prohteering we're
the subject of two measures pre-
scented in the house. A bill by Rep
resentative Gard, democrat, Ohio,
would provide $4,000 fine or FIVE
years imprisonment for boarding,
prohteering or monopolizing the
production of foodstuffs, fuel or
clothing. Representative Goody-
koontz, republican, West Virginia,
presented a resolution to direct the
judiciary committee to frame legis-
lation to eliminate boarding and to
reduce the amount of currency in
circulation. Mr.. Goodykoontz also
introduced a resolution requesting
the secretary OF war to sell the sur-
plus stocks of automobiles and
motor trucks.
Representative Keller, independent
republican, introduced a bill to au-
thorize creation of a national board
of conservation headed by the presi-
dent and composed of members of
the cabinet. five senator's and five
representatives which would have
power to regulate wholesale and re-
tail prices of food and clothing.
Representative Fees, republican,
Ohio, discussing the high cost of liv-
ing in the house, declared that gov
eminent wastefulness during the war
and at present in continuing many
war-created agencies largely was re-
sponsible for the existing high
prices. Senator Mcclellan, democrat,
Tennessee, appearing before the
house agriculture committee, pre-
dicted organized opposition on the
part of the packing industry to any
legislation to regulate cold storage
facilities.
The cost of living question will be
brought up again tomorrow on the
floor of the senate with prepared ad-
dresses by Senator Mcclellan and
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri.

DAYS OF OLD ARE AGAIN FONDLY
 RECALLED

Shadowy days of nearly half a century ago are recalled by the arri- val in Prescott on Sunday of MT. and Mrs. Henry Asher, who are en route to the coast from Sioux City, Iowa, to spend the winter with rela- tives. This Hassayamper is meet ing with warm welcome from those pioneers of his day who are left, and "reminiscences are flying thick l and fast as these old 'uns mingle, and some of the personal episodes are decidedly interesting, showing the hazardous game of life on the frontier.
 MT. Asher bears his long years with physical vigor that is as alert as young man. He is blessed with memory that recalls the smallest incident, while his business foresight remains as keen as ever.
 If was this visitor who launched the famous White House, first class dry goods store that stood where the Scopel hotel is now located. It was up to date in appointment, and even in this day it will be remembered for its fine goods and wares.
 One remark he passed yesterday while with group of pioneers was this: T feel today in spirit like l did long ago, when silver mining was i'll full sway, and it is decidedly sat isfying to see the metal coming back to its own. It is due to this indus try that good times are here in the west, and l hope there will be no more manipulating to throw the country back on its launches again. In 1875 l bought ten tons of Peck ore for $l0,000 cash, which transac- ton can be verified by some who still remain on top of this good old earth. shipped it to the Selby smelter at Frisco, and of course I didn't lose any money. took a grab sample and also took a chance, and believe me the ready money paid came in mighty handy to Peck, Bean, Cole, Alexander and Jewell. mention this fact for the reason that 1 read i'll the Journal-Miner of Sun day morning that the Peck mine was OSlHB ICNlNcut dllu IIuSI lIldI InG new people will hit one of those yellow chloride shoots that existed in early days, running in value to as high as 10000 ounces to the ton Yes, I am for the white metal, as it is the poor mans money, and what would become of Prescott without its backing and its influence as a mining country to draw in capital and build up a fine little city?" ]
