TRAIN ROBBERS
STILL AT LARGE
Tennessee HOldup Said to Have Net
ted 100000 in Cash.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 21.-With
railroad and postoffice detectives
securing middle Tennessee and follow
ing every indication of a clue late
this afternoon, the four bandits who
held up and robbed Louisville and
Nashville passenger train No. 7 ten
miles south of Columbia last night
were still at large.
One clue was based on the report
that woman and two men were seen
driving in an automobile near the
scene of the robbery late last night,
coupled with the mysterious appear
ance here two days ago Of woman
who claimed to be from Weste,
State and had a ticket for Glendale

While two bandits stayed with
Wray, a third compelled Mulvihill to
go back with him and cut off the en-
gine, express car, baggage car and
mail car. On their way back they
met S. H. Allen, conductor of the
train, on his way to the engine to in
vestigate the stopping of the train.
After the train was cut the robber
ordered the fireman and conductor to
get into the coaches, which they did.
The three bandits then forced the
engineer to drive the engine, with
baggage, express and mail cars at
tached to it, to point about half a
mile beyond, where the passenger
coaches were detached and there
stopped.
After rifling the mails the bandits
cut the engine loose, threw the throt-
tie wide open and left the locomotive

Prepared for Action Today.
With the House agricultural commit
! tees amendment for extension of the
powers of the Food Control Act before
! it, the House tonight was prepared to
take action tomorrow OH the amend
ment and thereby make it's first ex-
tensive step toward beating down liv-
ing costs. The amendment which was
reported to the House today by a
unanimous vote, includes retailers
among those liable under the Food
Control Act, and it's enactment, along
with the control exercised over sugar,
officials believe, will do much to cur
tail protiteering by retailers.
"Our desire is to secure fair price
for the consumer" said Attorney Gen
eral Palmer in announcing resumption
of sugar control, "and we do not wish
to pursue a wholesale policy of recon
mending the cancellation of licenses.
Where trade adjusts itself to a fair
price for the future, past transactions
unless fragrant, will not ordinarily be
made the basis Of recommendation
by this department for the cancella-
tion of the license
Sale of army subsistence supplies
now in progress will cover virtually
the entire surplus, the War Depart
ment announced today, including
enough to give two pounds of meat

States.
Would Extend Scope of Law.
The amendment to the Food Con
troll Act, as reported today, would
extend the acts provisions to include
wearing apparel, containers of food,
feed or fertilizer and fuel oil. A pen
atty of $4,000 and two years. impris-
onment for profiteering is provided
"The absence of evidence of any
profiteering by farmers" the agricul-
turc committees report said, "and the
provision of the so-called Sherman
antitrust law recognizing collective
bargaining by labor makes it wise
to not subject the farmer to incon.
venience and expense under the fed
eral law"
Numerous bills and resolutions deal
ing with living cost questions were
presented in both houses of Congress.
Representative Hutchinson, Republi-
can, of New Jersey, Introduced a bill
which would enable the Secretary of
Agriculture to prevent deception with
respect to cold, storage foods: to leg
ulate the storage and shipment of cold
storage foods in interstate commerce
and limit such storage to ten motnhs."

According to w. p. Mulvihil, the
