Senate District Committeeman Ex-
Feet to Begin Next VEGETABLE
of Costs Made.

The Senate District committeeme Ell
into service when they begin the in
vestigatio of the high cost of Twins
in Washington, scheduled to open W
some time next week.
The committee is searching around
to sec how it can best get the truth
about retail prices in Washington,
and the suggestion has been made
that it's members can readily get this
Information by merely having their
wives keep tab on the marketing
from day to day and turn the results
over to the committee. OF course,
the committee does not propose to
limit the evidence presented to their
own wives. It will be glad TO hear
from any housewives who have in
formation they believe is valuable to

however. that there is reluctance
on the part of many women to come
forward. fearing that they may be
made to suffer in some way for bear
ing testimony against the dealers.
Nevertheless, the committee feels
that it Will be able to get at the
facts once it starts delving into con-
ditions here as compared to condi-
lions in other cities.
Potato Prices Compared.
Already data has been presented to
the committee regarding some of the
wholesale, or jobbing prices. in Wash
ington and other places. For a.
stance, these wholesale prices show
new potatoes in Washington at $3.50
to So per barrel; in Baltimore. 81 to
IS: In Philadelphia. SITS to $3.50; in
New York. $3.50 to $3.50. 1t would ap-
pear from these figures that the
Washington dealers might have a
right to charge slightly more for po-
tatoes retail than the retailers in Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New York.
But the committee will go into all the
circumstances surrounding these
prices and ascertain why the whole
sale price should be more here than in
the other cities named.
Miscellaneous Prices.
Washington were quoted to the COM
mittee as 50 to s2.25 per crate; in Bal
timore, $1.75 to 1925: in Philadelphia,
$3.50 to s2.25; in New York. $3.50 to

INVESTIGATE EXPLOSION
OF NAVY D|R|C|BLE CO
Secretary Daniels Says It Is Unex-
planned as Yet; Cigarette Care
lessness Thought the Cause.

Secretary Daniels today said that
there had been no official explanation
of the cause OF t,.o explosion of naval
dirigible C-S at Camp IIoiabrd, near
Baltimore. last Tuesday. but that the
matter is now under investigation and
may be cleared up in few days.
Naval aviation officials have express
ed the belief that the explosion prob
ably was due to the careless use of
lighted match or cigar or cigarette
close to the big hydrogen filed bag.
In reply to the criticism that the
accident would have been averted by
the use of helium or argon instead of
hydrogen. il is stated at the Navy De-
sufficient heliur to supply a single
dirigible. The advantages of helium,
especially on account of it's non-in
tiammatory nature. are fully realized
by the department. and it is source
of keen regret that the supply at
present is 80 limited as to preclude
It's practical use in ordinary aviation
operations.
Texas Plant Will Supply Helium.
According to Secretary Daniels that
situation will be remedied when the
government is able to obtain all the
helium 1T needs from the big plant to
be established in Texas. TIE state
ment was made that helium is not SO
light or buoyant as hydrogen and
therefore. is not considered so efficient
as the latter gas for long flights.
Its on-inflammability. however
makes 1T more desirable medium for
general balloon use than the lighter
but highly inf1ammahle hydrogen. The
CS, which cost, with all equipments.
about $4,000, is said to be total loss.

Game from Quakers
Since Contest of 1908

Columbia University's baseball team
broke Commencement Day jinx of a
long standing when it defeated the
University of Pennsylvania on South
Field yesterday afternoon in a ninth
inning rally by the score of 7 to 6. 1t
was Columbia's first Commencement
Doy victory since 1908, when the Blue
and White nosed out Penn by to at
the Polo Grounds.
Cy Meany was on the mound for the
home team. For three frames he
showed nothing of his usual form, and
although he spotted six runs he per-
mitted the score to be tied. After the
fourth, however, he frightened, retired
thirteen Quakers on strikeouts and
yielded but three hits and no runs.
Mitchell started in the box for the
Red and Blue and lasted long enough
to allow three runs. Schnaars walked
and scored on Hauck's triple to the
centre field fence. Buonuguro then
walked, stole second and came home
with Hauck on Goodman's hit to left.

inning. NOluIlOid SOOu llllCU lnc

Pennsylvania scored twice in the
first. Two bases on balls and single
netted the visitors one more in the

and three hits raised the Red and
Blue total to five in the third and err

Dodgers Split Up
With Braves for

BOSTON. June 4.-The Dodgers and
Braves ended their three day series of
double headers here to-day by splitting
even for the third consecutive time.
The visitors took the first game, to 8.
in free hitting contest, while the
locals took the second, 6 to 3. with the
AID of some extra base driving.
Brooklyn clinched the opening fracas
early when Dave Fillgam was driven
from the mound in the fourth after
five Dodgers had crossed the plate.
Bill James, hero Of the 1914 world Sc
ries, succeeded Filligam and pitched
c1editable ball. Rube Marquard was
complete puzzle to the local batters
except in the last few innings. The
teams collected twenty-six hits. of
which five were double and two
triples.
Scott baffled the Dodgers in the sec

been retired runless had not Black
burne sent two men home with high

local runs.
