CHAPTER XVIII.
A New Plan of Escape.

Nothing occurred during the after
noon to disturb the routine work
aboard or to cause me any uneasiness.
Sunset brought clouds, and by the time
it was really dark the entire sky was
overcast, but the sea remained COM

the darkness, the air soft and refresh

representing almost every nation on
earth. dragged these out and spread
them on the deck abaft the cabin, thus
forming a very comfortable bed, and
at last induced the girl to lie down,
wrapping her in a blanket. Finally
found a seat beside her on coil of
rope, and we fell into conversation.

had enjoyed to actually talk with each

He trotted close at my heels as I
flung open the door leading into the
cabin. The air seemed fresh enough
and I noted two of the ports wide

an ugly scar down one cheek, lay out

PACKERS ABLE TO
Determine PRICES
REPORT DECLARES

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Ability Of
the Big Five" packers-Swift, Arm
our, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson-to
determine from day to day the general
level Of live stock prices was declared
incontrovertible in the third section
OF the Federal Trade Commission's
report on the industry, made public
last night.
Information obtained in the commits.
sion's investigation was cited to show
that the Big Five have an interest
in twenty-eight of the fifty principal
market yards of the country and a ma
jority of voting stock in twenty-five
others. 1t was said they buy most Of
the live stock sold at these markets.
They discriminate against and put
at a great disadvantage Independent
buyers who are competitors" the re-
port said. They manipulate on &C.
casions the live stock market in such
a way as to cause extreme and unwar.
ranted fluctuations in the daily prices
paid for live stock. They have elimin
ated many competitors and prevented
new ones from coming in. They have
restricted the meat supply of the ma
ton by manipulating the daily live
stock prices and thus discouraging the
producers of the live stock"

place. News of this spread and there
after dead negroes would not be &C
cepted by white mortuaries.
When the streets had been cleared
in the negro quarter the more persist
ent rioters marched downtown and
sought out negroes at their work. The
police in three instances did not offer
protection to the blacks. One band
entered restaurant across the street
from the city hall, wrecked part Of
the furnishings, dragged a covering
porter from the kitchen and beat him
unconscious with five gallon bottle.
Afterwards several bluecoats arrived
and dispersed the crowd.
Governor Lowden before turning
hack to help stop the riots, telegraph
ed the following appeal:
Il appeal to all citizens, white and
colored. to obey the law. There are
no wrongs committed by either race
that cannot be better redressed
through the orderly processes Of law
than by mob violence.
The entire power Of the state will
be used to restore order and to punish
those guilty of lawlessness. 1t is time
for all good citizens, white or colored,
to aid the authorities in every way
possible to uphold the law"

INFORMATION IS
SENT OFFICIALS
IN OHIO PROBE
Public Gives Evidence of High
Food Prices-Conspiracies
Are Charged.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 29.-All
sorts Of scattered bits of information
are reaching those who are in charge
of the coming state inquiries into al.
legged unreasonable high and oppres-
sive prices Some of these morsels
are serious and some have even .
comic side.
For instance, q story was brought to
the Capitol today to the effect that in
Columbus one man has the duty Of fix.
ing price Of doughnuts. and says each
day whether they are to be "a nickle
apiece, two for a nickle or three for a
dime"
There are tales that men with
stands on the market are kept inform
ed as to retail prices, and reduc-
ton by one brings a visitation upon
him by committee, denouncing him
for having sold more cheaply. when,
as they say:
You know it Is to be higher"
Along with other suspected prof.
teers, the hotel men are said to be for
an inquiry into their business. There
is a growing desire to know why they
can maintain the same prices each
day, never be one moment late in
making increases in prices, and still
have no understanding.
The Attorney-General probably will
ask Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys to
make some comparisons and seek
facts, to ascertain whether there are
understanding" or agreements TO
fix prices, which amount to comspira-
c1es against the law.

(By Associated Press)

LONDON July 20. - Discussing
things as they are soon to be if the
terms Of the peace treaty are to be
carried out a popular weekly review
has astonished some of it's more radi-
cal readers with the following:
Germany is now, technically, a
friendly power or soon will be. That
being so we suggest that our press
might with advantage discontinue it's
sprightly habit Of using the words
hun and 'boche' on all possible occa-
sions. We shall soon have the Ger
man embassy again occupied and it
would really be deplorable il its chiefs
were commonly referred to in print as
the Hun Ambassador or the 'Boche
Diplomat
1T is not because OF our love for
the German but regard of our reputa.
ton for good manners that this sug
gestion is made. We shall be sorry to
