Association, Tells of Prof
iteering During War.

| Washington, Aug. 16.-Evidence al
a secret investigation of the purchase
of beans for the food administration
| during the war so incensed julius II
| Barnes, of New York, president OF
the United States Grain corporation,
| that he forced two employees of the
administration to resign, the senate
and house agricultural committees
were told today by G. A. Turner,
president of the California Bean
Growers association. Asked II it
was not true that the two men had
been profiteering a little in beans"
Mr.. Turner said that in view of the
fact that the investigation was Sc
cret he preferred not to say what the
findings were.
The names of the men were not
disclosed.
A. M. Looms, representative of
the National Grange, told the COM
mittee the farmers of the country
were alarmed over the trend of pro-
posed federal legislation, adding that
in view of the presidents attitude
toward agriculture as indicated in
his veto message on the bill repeal
ing the daylight saving act, the farm
ers felt something must be done to
balance the situation"
Mr.. Loomis made a number of
suggestions as to proposed legisla-
ton to counteract the influence of
the present agitation and thereby
increase food production" They in
cluded: Abandonment of wheat price
regulation and all price fixing on any
primary food or clothing materials at
end of present crop season.
Immediate termination of all re-
strictions and regulations based on
war powers of congress
Removal of all internal revenue
taxes on food products.
Revision of tariff schedules to af- /
ford protection for farm products |

SEARCHING FOR BODY
PRETTY HAZEL GRANGE
Detectives Weave Web of Cir.
cumstantial Evidence
Around Fether,

ithaca N. Y, Aug. 16.-Grapplers
were still dragging Lake Cayuga to-
day in an effort to find the body of
pretty Hazel Crance, for whose death
! Donald w. Fether, of Los Angeles, a
Cornell university student, is held
| responsible by the police.
Detectives are weaving a web Of
| circumstantial evidence around the
| young student and claim they have
discovered several inaccuracies in
Fether's statement that Miss GRANGE
was drowned when the canoe in
which they were riding on July 49,
accidentally capsized.
Fether's statement that he kicked
off his trousers while swimming
around in the water trying to find the
girl Immediately after the tragedy,
police say, is belied by the fact that
the trousers were found to contain
one and possibly two knots when the
grapplers dragged them from the bot
tom of the lake. They also point to
the fact that the youth wore shoes
when he was rescued, which would
have made 1t difficult. they say, for
him to have discarded a pair of wet
trousers and keep himself afoat at
the sama time.
While Miss Crance's parents scout
the theory that the young woman
was murdered, many Of Fether's fell
low students and admirers of the
dead girl openly threaten to wreak
vengeance on him for the disgrace he
has brought upon the university,
Some declared he would mot be per
mitted to remain in Jail" Extra pre-
cautions have been taken by the au-
thorities to prevent possible trouble.
A. w. Feinberg. counsel for Fether,
said this morning he would probably"
ask for his clients release on a writ
of habeas corpus.
The young student. who Is accused
of murder in the first degree. is ex- |
pected to be arraigned before Magis-
trate Williams this afternoon

ROOM FOR EXPANSION

Supt. r. B. Randolph pointed out
to the secretary of war and his party
how it would be possible to expand
the camp in the south. If about 5000
acres of land lying adjoining were
purchased. An option on this prop
erty was held at the time of the ar
mistice at a price of about 5000 an
acre.
Congressman Gordon Lee owns
much of this property. It is believed
it could still be purchased at a rea-
sonable figure. The land lies ad-
mirably for either cantonments or
tented camp. If this property were
purchased there would be no need at
any time to encroach on the part of
the military reservation where there
are monuments, and no trees would
have to be cut.
There are about sixty miles of fine
roads in the reservation under Supt.
Randolph's charge. They are, most
Of them, now in good shape. The
portions of the camp adjacent to Fort
Oglethorpe which have been ordered
preserved will house about $500 men.
The 5000 acres to the south would
take care of an entire division IL
necessary. The Central of Georgia
railroad line runs through this tract.
There is plenty of water available
from the mains already laid.

EXPECTS RIVER TO Be
USED WHEN DAM IS DONE
When Navigation Will Be
Possible in All a.
Sections.

Col. Harry Taylor, of the corps OF
engineers, was the ranking officer who
accompanied Secretary Baker to
Sheffield. Col. Taylor held the rank
Of general In the great war and COM
manded the transport of the army
for a year and a half, with head
I iquarters at Chaumont. He has been
one OF the officers most consulted on
the dam at Muscle Shoals. Col Tay-
lor estimates that 1t will take about
three years to complete the Wilson
dam. 1t is expected to produce total
horsepower of 100000. At the out
set an equipment to produce 10000
horsepower will be installed. Some
thing like 100000 horsepower will be
used in producing air nitrogen. Col.
Taylor says that the surplus power
Will likely be marketed over the
south as 1t Is produced. About LOO
men are now employed on the dam,
and this number will be increased.
Nitrates are now being made at Shelf
field, at the two plants which are
completed, the steam plant which
produces $4,000 horsepower furnish
ing the power.
Col. Taylor believed that the first
dam would give slack water through
the shoals for about fifteen miles.
Two other smaller dams viii be con-
structed 80 as to complete the navi-
cation project for that part OF the
river. Col. Taylor said he had great
hopes for the future of river nayiga-
tion in the United States. He said
our transportation problem was more
important than, any other. We must
link the river, the road and the rail.
Then there would be no problem of
high cost Of living, This was largely
a question of transportation. He said
he believed that difficulties In the
way Of loading and unloading, trans
fers and others which had operated

be solved He said there was no

1eved, however, that the rivers ought

UNDERSTUDY WILL
APPEAR IN "ANCEL FACE"
"UP IN MABEL'S ROOM
WILL BE DARK. r
Another Feature of Actors
Strike Is "A Prince There
Was" Will Not Annear.

Chicago, Aug. 16.--Unless ]. J. Ro.
senthal. house manager of the Woods
theater, succeeds In obtaining an in +.
! junction against a threate strike
of members of the cast of up In
Mabel's Room" now playing at that
house. there will be no performance
of the play tonight.
If there Is a performance of "Angel
Face" at the Colonial theater, an un-
derstudy will appear In the role of
Ada Meade, the prima donna.
These are the outstanding possi-
bilities today of the strike of mem
bers of the Actors Equity association
in Chicago. A third factor in the
situation is the announcement that
the play "A Prince There Was with
Grant Mitchell as the star, will not
be permitted to reopen at Cohans
Grand.
Members ofSthe cast of "A Prince
There Was were the first to 60 on
strike here. Announcement has been
made by the managers of the theater
that THE Acquittar' will be the next
attraction, which means that the ac-
tors who struck virtually will be
locked out.
The performance of up In Mabel's
Room" last night was delayed nearly
an hour while attorneys and theater
managers argued against a strike
order issued by Edwin Mordant, Sec
retary of the Actors Equity associa-
tion. The players finally were per-
sauded to go on" but declared there
would be no performance this after
noon or tonight.
Ada Meade, in Angel Face" sud
denly went on strike just before last
nights performance, and an under
study took her place.
Injunction suits brought against |
the actors by the Woods and Palace
theaters are to be heard Monday, but
1t is not likely a decision will be
reached for several days. Meantime |
Manager Rosenthal will endeavor to-
lay to obtain a temporary injunction
which will halt the threatened strike

This city is all primed to give the

Hthe prince will take advantage OF
ISunday to rest on board after the
3arduous day he spent at st. Johns
Yesterday.
Members of the royal party are
iubilant over the enthusiasm that has
been shown and the prince himself
has freqently expressed his own de-
Hight at the whole hearted manner in
which he has been received.
Capt. Windsor.
To the Canadian troops overseas
Ehe youthful Capt. Windsor" as the
prince was known to the British
hrmy, is more or less of a familiar
hgure. But he is a distinct novelty
TO the home people of Canada. The
canadians were frankly surprised at
the boyish appearance of their fu-
lure sovereign.
Incognito, the prince might pass off
hs an ordinary youth of %, but the
bublic ordeals through which he has
had to pass have proved that he has
Eifts of craftsmanship and diplomacy.
He is slight of stature, standing
hbout feet 6 inches. and corn
EoIored" hair accentuates his youth
tAl appearance. The quick flush that
frequently floods his face makes him
hnpear younger than he really is.

Despite his boyish looks, however,
The young prince has poise that
kcIi might be envied by older public

he has responded to the elaborate
Greetings have been delivered with
becisiveness and in a firm voice.
The princes program, if carried
