ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
PEOPLE CAN STOP III COST
Report Profiteering to Common
wealth's Attorney, Attorney Gen-
eraI Morris Says.

Frankfort, KY, October 1o.-Profit-
eering will not be stopped until the
people of this State start crusade
against it, was the opinion expressed
today by Attorney General Charles
Norris. Nothing can be gained ne
said without concerted action on the
mart of the people of the State to put
II out of existence. Every person who
knows of case of profiteering and
fails to report it, Attorney General
Norris said, is friend to the high
cost of living instead Of fighting the
profteering.
When cases of profiteering are
known they should be reported to the
Commonwealth Attorney whose duty
1t is to prosecute all such violators Of
the law. Both fines and imprisonment
NAV be imposed for such offenses. II
fact, Attorney General Morris sale
1.-The sky is the limit"
Several cases Of proflteering nave
come to the notice Of Attorney Gen
eral Morris. In one instance a loca
merchant bought tomatoes for 81
bushel and sold them for 50. In an
other case a local merchant bough
canteloupes for Is cents each an
sold them for 80 and 40 cents. Thes
merchants, he said, doubled their pro
fits and such profiteering should nc
be tolerated.

Senator Reed Is Egged
From Oklahoma Stage

ADMORE, Okla, Oct. 2.-United
States Senator James A. Reed was
egged from the stage at Convention
Hall last night as he was introduced
in preparation of his speech against
the treaty and League of Nations.
AS Senator Reed came on the stage
all light wires to the building were
cut. Pandemonium broke loose and
cries of derision howled him down
while the audience surged uupon the
stage. Reed attempted to hold the
floor for few minutes, but was fore
ed to make his exit without beginning
his speech.
After several minutes of the de-
monstration a number of women
climbed upon the stage and quieted
the crowd.
Reed could not be seen at his hotel
here, but it was announced that he
would make no attempt to deliver his
address.
