Ship 100000 Men at Any Time.

WASHINGTON, Aug. differentiation
OF a permanent transport reserve" ca
pabIe of carrying $4,000 troops is pro-
posed by the War Department as a part
OF the army reorganization plan. This
reserve, with the regular army trans
port fleet, would make it possible 10
move an expeditionary force of nearly
100000 men Immediately on the out
break of war
The plan. as outlined by Brig. Gen.
Frank t. Hines, in charge of the ARMY
transport service. contemplates resery-
ing title to fifteen OF the former German
passenger ships and number of cargo
carriers with their ALLEGATION to CONNER
cial lines on the condition that the crews
be enlisted in the transport reserve and
that no structural changes in the YES
sells be made by the operators. All of
the ships are now in perfect shape for
army use, and Gen. Hines would have
them subject to periodical inspection By
army engineers to insure their being
kept in that state.
The Leviathan, George Washington,
Mount Vernon and Savannah are among
the ships listed to be retained IL Con-
gress approves the plan.

DAYS SALT FISH
CAUSE $25,2I6 SUIT
OWners Demand Herrings'
j.. Price From City.

The plunge in the salt herring mar
ket by Jonathan c. Day, Commissioner
of Markets, in his efforts to bring down
the high cost of living early in June,
1918. has resulted in the city of New
York being made defendant in suit to
recover $25.216, summons and complaint
OF which were filed yesterday in the
Supreme Court.
William Willard Howard and Albert
C. Macinnis are the plaintiffs. They
allege that the Board of Estimate and
the Board of Aldermen authorized Com
missioner Day to bring about a better
condition of purchasing and distributing
food. and acting on this authority he
bought from the plaintiffs the cargo Of
the schooner Elizabeth Howard. con-
sisting of 34S.666 pounds of salt herring.
1t Is stated that the schooner was
moored at the foot of Stanton street by
order of the defendants agent and from
there, after the cargo had been passed
by the Board of Health, the food was
distributed. According to the plaintiffs
the city has paid only S2.S01 on account
for the fish, the value Of which is said
to have been S26,356. To this is added
the reasonable value of the schooner's
rental while tied up at the dock in pur-
suance of Commissioner Days order,
bringing the amount up to the sum sued
FOR. The Corporation Counsel has TWEEN
~ days in which to file an answer to
the complaint.

RELIEF is EXPECTED
ON PRICES OF FOOD
Defence Council Sees Also
Leather Gouging.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-High cost Of
living, which the Government Is seeking
to combat, is due primarily to the cur
tailment In the production of nearly all
commodities, boarding. profiteering and
Imitation Of currency, the Council OF Ma
tional Defence said in an exhaustive re-
port sent to Congress. The report was
made public to-day through Secretary
Baker. chairman of the council.
Suggestions of the council for meeting
the situation include stimulation of pro-
duction, repression of boarding and prof.
teering, Improvement in the methods Of
distribution and marketing and the dis
semination of more exact news concern
ing probable future national require
ments.
Gross profteering In the wool and shoe
industries through conscious curtailment
of production was alleged in the report.
The shortage of housing accommoda-
tons was attributed to a shortage in
building material caused by certain con-
ditions and to labor disputes. The report
said the shortage probably would CON
tinue for some time to come"
A national standard of living higher
than that existing during the war or be-
fore can be maintained, the report said.
II production is placed on an efficient
basis.
The distinction between apparent pros
perity, which is expressed in terms of
dollars, and real prosperity, which is
expressed in terms of production, was
made clear. The high cost of food was
ascribed not to shortage, since on the
whole the nation is producing more than
in pre-war days, but to the abundance
OF circulating medium. Relief of the
food situation was predicted.

Stockmen Assail Both Reg

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.--While West
ern and Southern stock raisers appear
ing before the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee continued to-day to attack the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills to license the
packing industry, Chairman Gronna put
into the record a telegram from the
American Livestock Association charg-
ing that in some cases the witnesses
were ''coerced" and in other cases had
their expenses paid by the five big
packers.
The association has long realized the
impossibility Of proper conduct of the
livestock business when subject to the
entrenched monopoly of the great packer
combination" said the message, which
was signed by H A. Jastro, as chairman
of the Association market committee,
we recognize and indorse the general
plan for acknowledging and Federal con-
troll of the packing business which shall
in the future prevent the abuses growing
out of worldwide concentrated power

and wasteful in many of its methods.
I'VE believe the licensing system
properly places power and responsibility
for just and rational treatment in an
We indorse as essential the policy of
divorcing the packers from control of
the stockyards. We believe that re-
frigerator cars should be rated as COM
mon carriers We are aware of the
desperate efforts being made by the
packers to maintain their unconscion-
able position. We have noted their
lavish expenditure in. advertising that
has dealt in evasion. misrepresentation
and half truths. We depfore the recent
action of those live stock producers who
have passed resolutions condemning GER

The message was approved by Senator
Kendrick (Wyoming). author Of one of

dent of the American Livestock Associa-
ton.

Nashville Lawyer, Fathers
Aid in Tragedy in 1908,
Murdered in Motor.
ROBBED OF $4,000 CASH
Mysterious Stranger Is Seen at
Victims Home Before Crime
Is Committed.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 30.-Three
hours after the discovery of his aban-
doned and bloodstained automobile the
body Of Robin j. Cooper, the attorney
who was tried for the staying of former
United States Senator Edward w. Car
! mack in 1908, was found at 10 80
| o'clock to-day in Richland Creek, under
| the Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
| Railway trestle at the Harding ROAD
| crossing, several miles from here.
Cooper drew $4,000 from his bank
just before he disappeared last Thurs
| day night, when he started mysteriously
| in his motor car, which was left on
| a bridge near his home in the fashion
able Belle Meade Park section. Inc
police say an arrest is imminent, and
that they expect to know the reason
for his projected night ride, oelore
morning.
Josie Sparks, n servant employed IN
a house near where the automobile was
discovered, says she heard heated ar
gument between two men Thursday night
and that 1t was followed by shot. An
autopsy to-day, however, disclosed that
no bullet had penetrated Coopers body.
His death, according to the physicians
was due to blows on the head from
heavy slab Of stone, which was left lying
in the tonneau OF the car. He was
struck on the forehead, the right temple
and at the base of the skull.
There is ample evidence that cooper
fought his assailants with courage and
that at length he was overpowered. His
clothes were partly torn from his body.
His right fist was clinched and drawn
up, as though to protect his face.
Gov Roberts has offered reward OF
$500 for the arrest OF the murderer, and
second $500 has been offered by DR..
Lucius Burch, Cooper's brother-in-law.
Mrs. Cooper is speeding here from
Evanston, Ind, and will arrive to-mor-
row morning with her son Milton. Her
father, Milton II. Smith. president of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, is
coming with her. Col. Duncan b. Cooper,
the murdered mans father, is on his
way here from New York.
BIoodstained Automobile Found.
The crime was discovered by Samuel
r. Farmer. who lives in the Belle Meade
section. He was crossing Leake avenue
when he saw Coopers automobile drawn
up on the west side of the roadway. Its
headlights were burning and there was
blood upon the cushions and a blood
stained copy of a Nashville newspaper
on the front seat. The police were called
and they found that the front seat and
floor of the car were covered with bloody
clothing and blood stained papers.
Lying upon the rear seat was Cooper's
pocketbook, empty. except for a small
check made out to the dead man and
signed by the Illinois Central Railroad.
