Huge Supply of Canned Goods

With the city unable, because
of the lack of funds, to buy for
the markethouse, at a cheap
price, thousands of cases of
canned meats and vegetables Of
fered by the United States gov
eminent, Frank Mcdonald, pro-
gressive business man and
owner of the Red stores, came
forth with proposition that he
would buy the food for the city.
Following a conference be-
tween Commissioner Wassman
and Mayor "A. w. Chambliss on
Saturday, it was decided not to
accept the offer of Mr.. Melon
aid, however.
According to the government
provisions, the canned meats
and vegetables must be pur-
chased by a municipality and
will not be sold to individuals.
One reason. for the rejection
of the Red store owners liberal
proposition was that the condi-
ton of the food was not known
and that it would be necessary
to pay the freight on it.

Packing Interests Appeal to
Stockholders and Bankers
to Stop Legislation.

Washington, July 19.-Flat charges
that the great packing interests of
the country are conducting a wide
spread propaganda against the Ken
yon bill, which would regulate their
industry, were made today by Sena-
tor Kenyon, of Iowa, who sponsors
the measure. Senator Kenyon said
today that an investigation will be
made.
Large packing interests have sent
every stakeholder a letter urging him
tc get after your congressman and
SENATOR" said Kenyon. Il intend to
find out just what amount Of money
Is being spent in opposition to this
bill.
1.-THE people of the country are
paying for this propaganda with
every lamb chop they buy"
Not only are the stockholders be-
ing flooded with propaganda, Sena-
tor Kenyon asserted. but even the
banking interests and industries
closely allied to the packers are be-
ing enlisted to defeat the measure.
The result has been that hundreds
of letters and kilograms, many of
them of a "set FORM" are pouring
in on members of congress, according
to Senator Kenyon.
IT am certain that when the in
vestigation Is made. lobby will be
revealed" said Kenyon.
at is even probable that an ex-
member of congress will appear as
working in the interest of the pack
ers.
Congress will see the biggest fight
on this measure since the days of the
old tariff fights And it won't be
drawn on party lines"

she will be a leading prosecuting

known today.
At the same time 1t was stated
that the demand made by Mrs. Les
ser that New pay the extreme pen

sible for the decision of the district
attorneys office in this regard. How
ever. District Attorney Thomas Lee
Woolwine has already announced his
belief that the murder was commit

Reports that political opponents of
United States Senator Harry S. New,
who, 1t Is alleged, is the father of the
slayer, will use the evidence brought
out at the trial to the senator's polit-
ical detriment have reached Los An
reles. Senator News interest in the
coming trial Is said to have been
evidenced by the fact that he has
communicated with friends in this
city.
Senator News name cannot be
kept from the trial, 1T is pointed out,

nounced intention of attempting to
free the slayer on the ground that

tails more than $4,000
One negro under arrest has been
identified by two of the white women
but the police say their evidence
against the man Is only circumstan-
tial. and they are holding him while
making further Investigations. The
negro made one futile attempt to
escape while under questioning at
police headquarters, during which he
denied his guilt.
The man hunt proceeded in the
most fashionable part OF the city and
close by the homes OF many well
known men. One assault which took
place not far from the celebrated
Chevy Chase Golf club, aroused the
men of the vicinity and nearby
Maryland, and they formed search.
ing parties, raised reward fund
and placarded that part of the city
with descriptions of the negro.
For two days, searching parties
combed a woods Immediately at the
entrance to the national geological
park, where the negro was said to
have been seen hiding. The scene Is
near Secretary Tumulty's house and
the homes OF other nationally known
figures are nearby.
Meanwhile, other attacks on white
women by negroes took place in other
sections of the city, and citizens, as
sociations held meetings at which
the police were denounced for inef-
ficiency. There were threats that II
the negro should be caught, the
searchers would take justice into
their own hands.
The police have counseled re-

So far as is known, the assailants
of at least three women are unac-
counted for. The man held is
charged only with the assault upon
two. There has been some talk of
a congressional investigation of the
police.
The sixth attack of the kind in four
weeks was reported to the police to-
day. A woman employe of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, the
stamps and currency, reported she
had been seized by two negroes at
a street corner, but beat them off
with her umbrella and alarmed them
with her screams.

by armed men in the Tamesi
