Arthur Williams. Federal Food Ad-
minstrator. in his campaign against
dealers overcharging for sugar, yes
tcrday caused the United Sugar Com
pany, Of All Ninth Avenue, to promise
to make a refund to the Rcpetti Candy
Company, which paid 10 cents a pound
for 700 pounds OF sugar purchased
Jams advised the United firm to make
refunds to all firms which were forced
to pay the concern more than 91a cents
for sugar. This is the third occasion
on which the United company has been
asked to make q refund Mr.. Williams
yesterday received a check for $2,369
from Esman & Son. agents for rehners
of Philadelphia. This represented the
amount of an overcharge on sugar sold
to dealers in this city. A check for
S363 was received by Mr.. Williams
from B. Levy, sugar dealer. who ad-
mitted overcharging retailers here.
Most of this money will go to charity,
as Mr.. Williams has found it difficult
to trace the ultimate victims of the
overcharging.
In comparing to-day's price list and
that issued on Tuesday Mr. Williams
said that prices have declined slight
ly. The average price shown in the
last grocery list was 23.3 on Tuesday,
compa.ed with POP yesterday. The
meats averaged 36.7 on Tuesday com
pared with 36.6 yesterday.
Retail Prices Surveyed
The food administrator is having
made survey of the retail sales situa-
ton in each neighborhood. Investi-
gators conducted a survey yesterday
Of the district between Tooth and 10th
Streets and Second Aven and Lex
ington Avenue, which brought out that
many dealers take advantage of the
inability OF their customers to speak
English. Most prices, however, were
found to be below those fixed BY the
fair price committee.
Louis Marshall, chairman of the SUD
committee on Jewish bread prices of
the fair price committee, notified Mr..
Williams yesterday that he and the
other members have completed their
/ findings and will make a detailed re-
port OF their conclusions shortly.
The Association of American Dairy,
Food and Drug officials went on record

Senate Passes Bill
To Curb PyoGteeys

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-The
House bill extending the food control
act to penalize profteering, as re-
quest by President Wilson and At
torney General Palmer as means of
reducing the cost Of living, was passed
by the Senate late to-day and sent
to conference.
In addition to penalties-S5.00 900 fine
and two years imprisonment for
protiteering, boarding. destroying on

saries, or making any unjust or un-
etxends the law to include wearing ap-
parel and containers Of food, feeds
and fertilizers, as we'll as food, fuel.
fertilizers and agricultural machinery.
The life of the proposed law would
terminate upon the proclamation OF
peace.
Although many Senator'S criticised
the bill, and with general expressions
of reluctance grudgingly assented to
its passage without 8 record vote, there
was virtually no opposition to the
measure, and only about dozen Sen
atorss followed its course.
Only one amendment Of substance
was made to the bill as passed by the
House--a rider proposing an official
body to supervise property rentals in
the District of Columbia to prevent
profiteeQng.
The Senate struck out a committee
amendment, championed by Senator
Smith, Democrat, Georgia, authorizing
specifically the establishment by the
Department of Justice Of fair price"
committees and providing that charges
above the price schedules fixed by such
committees should be considered to be
profiteering.
AS passed, however, the bill does not
prohibit or limit the department plan
to administer the law through the
agencies Of voluntary fair price
committees. All of the House provi-
sons designed to extend the operation
Of and put teeth" in the law were
adopted by the Senate.

No army shoes will be sold before
the opening of the War Departments

Washington yesterday. The statement
contained denial of reports that army
shoes are being sold in Brooklyn.
"Thesc shoes were commercial shoes

James f. Meade, president of the

shoes mentioned by the government
declared last night that his efforts to
sell good shoes at low prices to the
public have been repeatedly hampered
by the War Department.
"The War Department wants these
shoes which am selling at $780," Mr..
Meade said, "bccausc the same shoes
are costing it $7.13 at present. Many

S2,0OO,O0O in Fur
Seized by Cossacks,
Americans Charge
Merchants Assert Shipments
They Bought and Paid For
in Siberia Are Now Being
Held by General Semenoff
Ncrc York Tribune
WASHINGTON Bureau


WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Extensive
seizures of valuable furs bought and
paid for by American merchants in ST.
IBERIA by adherents of General Sem
enoff, the Cossack leader. has developed
a new and troublesome angle to the
Russian problem for the United States
government.
State Department representatives,
acting on instructions from this gov
eminent following the filing of pro-
tests by American furrers, who
charged that Semenoff deliberately
sclzed and sold entire shipments of val
liable skins, have reported fully to the
department on the widespread thefts
Goods valued in the neighborhood of
$1,000, 900 are said to have been the
total loot of the Semenoff forces.
American diplomatic representatives
in Siberia, and Admiral Kolchak, rep
resentlng the Omsk government, have
demanded the release of goods now
held by Semenof, but thus far, it is
understood, no disposition is shown
by the Cossack leader to comply with
the demands.
One New York firm, Wulfsohn &
Company, has informed the State De-
partment that General Semenoff di-
rected the seizure Of 100000 worth of
turs of all kinds, for which payment in
gold has been made. Other protests
against the widespread seizures Of
goods paid for by American merchants
also are said to have been presented to
the State Department.
The action by Semenoff revived the
report that the Cossack leader has been
encouraged in his seizures of Ameri-
can owned goods by Japanese authori-
ties, some Of whom are said to seek
an alignment with Semenoff as a means

said the Wholesaler has also agreed to

According to Mr.. O'Malley. poultry
like that being released by the War
Department is being sold for 49 and 90

housewives to urge their dealers to

dealers have volunteered, he said, but
many sections are not represented.

Livestock Association Man
Denounces S'Big Five at
the Senate Hearing and
Favors q. S. Regulation

WASHINGTON, Sept 12-Excoria-
tion of the "Big Five" packers was the
burden of a three-hour argument made
before the Senate Agriculture Com
mittce to-day by Edward l.. Burke. of
Omaha, vice president of the American
National Livestock Association, who
asked the immediate passage of the
Aendrick and Kenyon bills for Federal
regulation of the packing industry.
what the big packers need Mr..
Burke declared, ais common sense
enough to accept fair Federal repuia-
tion. The trouble in the industrv is
that they think themselves bigger than
the government, and the end of the
course will be to send them straight
to destruction"
The Livestock Association. Mr.
Burke said, was proud of its connection
with the Federal Trade Commission in
vestlgation Of the industry, but, he
added, "the statement that the asso-
citation used undue influence with the
commission is a lie.'
Cattle associations in almost every
state west of the Mississippi River. he
asserted, stood soldly behind the proyi
sions of the Kenyon bill and wanted
the packers divorced from ownership
OF stockyards, their refrigerator cars
made common carriers and the opera
ton of their business put under Fed
eral license
Big Issue at Stake
"The big issue" he continued, "is
shall be allowed to use their tre-
mendous financial power to perfect
their monopoly of foodstutfs and to
continue to stand between producer
and consumer debating what each
shall pay"
Dealing with the previous testimony
OF cattle producers who have objected
to the regulation as drastic and un-
necessary, Mr.. Burke said that the
witnesses heard had not represented
any considerable sentiment among
farmers and ranchers.
The attitude of few Of these large
cattle producers can be Will under
stood" he asserted "Thcy have large
punches of stock TO market every year,
and thy maintain close personal re-
lationship with the packers It has
been repeatedly stated that chair cattle
receive extra Favorable treatment on
the markets."
Others Defend Packers
A defence Of the packers, however,
came from other witnesses. Joe y.
Biddle, Of Hanford, Cal, explained that
"the public has got enough of public
CONTROL while ". T. Premo, a cattle
feeder at Porterville. in the same state,
said: II consider license regulation Of
business a long step toward Socialism. ."
II don't know much about these
bills J. NJ. Emmart, of Louisville, Ky.
said when he took the stand. "We
started an independent packing plant
in Louisville in 1910, nave been com
peting with the big packers every day.
and did S4,500,000 worth Of busine- IS
last year. Our experience simply show
the big packers do not control cvel4
thing, and we are afraid Of Ecensc
