General Crozier, former chief of tie

ing committee to explain why lis

acted upon.

tinued, "the army had 500 machine

500 field artillery pieces, a wholly in
adequate supply of artillery ammu-
milton and other supplies in the same
insufficient amounts"

Warning to Men Below
STANDARD

ANNAPOLIS. December Is Especially.
'-Semi-annual examinations at the
Naval Academy begin January 26. A
sign of their approach is the posting
of the christmas tree" which warns
the midshipman that his work in some
particular branch or branches is not
up to the standard and that he is in
danger of not passing unless he i'm
proves. A similar list, posted about
a month in advance of the final ex-
aminations, is called the May pole"
Expected to Heed Warning.
The Christmas tree" list contains
the names of 373 midshipmen, ap-
proximately one-sixth of the whole
number. 1t is above the average of
past years. in spite of somewhat I'M
usual conditions during the year. The
large majority will probably heed the
warning and tone up in the branches
named. Some. including a consider
able number in the new fourth class,
will be compelled to submit their

The new class always loses a consid-
cradle number at this stage of the

designations during the last few
weeks have been few in number, and
normal conditions and normal atti-
titude of mind are returning to the
midshipmen. There had been a more
stringent application of enforcement
of regulations, to which the midship-
men are now becoming used. with
marked and beneficial results. Nat
urally, the victory of the Navy foot
ball team over the Army has tended
to a general rise of spirits. an effect
which may be seen plainly by any
one in touch with the student body.

RIOT BREAKSO
 IN PEORIA STRIKE
Three Persons Are Shot and Probably Seriously Wounded by Rioters-Women Are in the Mix-Up.

Peoria, H., Aug. 13.-Three per-
 sons were shot and seriously wound
 ad and a score of other persons re-
 ceived cuts and bruises when several
 hundred strikers and sympathizers
 charged upon the Keystone Wire and
 Steel Company's plant in South Bar
 tonville, a suburb near here tonight.
 A handful of deputy sheriffs who
 have been guarding the plant where q strike of 300 workers had been in
 progress for several weeks, fought off the rioters, returning volley for voley, and late tonight it was be- lieved the worst of the storm had passed.
 Outbreaks continued throughout the day and resulted in the shooting and slightly wounding of two strikers who had fired on the deputies. The first outbreak came when a truck load of strikebreakers were car l ried to the plant under protection of deputy sheriffs. The rioters charged and it was only after a sharp clash (that they were driven off. The principal outbreak tonight fol- l lowed the shooting of a woman by a sniper near the plant. She was only slightly injured. Women sided with l the rioters and hurled missiles at the strikebreakers and deputies. The crowd was finally dispersed but |formed again when time came for of [fcials to leave the plant. Shooting was renewed and it was in this out break that the people were wounded.
 Intermittent firing continues. l It is said local authorities have no power to interfere.
 Deputy sheriffs declared they had |Auit trying to handle the situation. Major c. w. Russell of Governor Low Hens staff, is in conference with Eheriff Hines.
 Major Russell announced that Gov Rrnor Lowden was en route to Chicago end that he could not get in touch With him, requesting that troops be $alled out.

 SURE OF SUPPORT
Group Promoting Treaty Reser-
 vatlons Almost Assured of Success-Senator Lodge De-
 nles He Assented to Proposal.

washington, Aug. 13.-The trend toward agreement on reservations in the peace treaty reached the stage to- day where the group of Republican senators advocating reservations re- celved assurances which they accented as guaranteeing Democratic assent to their program.
 It was said that as soon as the group could pledge score of Repub- lican votes for reservations to the league of nations covenant along the line recently agreed on by seven Re- publican senators, the administration forces in the senate would be willing to line up on that basis for ratifica- tion.
 Reservationists also intimated that their ranks eventually would include Senator Lodge, chairman of the for eign relations committee, and Repub- lican leader of the Senate.
 Twenty Republicans, it was de- clared, wuold be enough with the ad- ministration Democrats to make up the two-thirds necessary for ratifca- tion. The program on which it is sought to unite these elements con- templates reservations to further pro- tect the Monroe doctrine to insure do- mestic control over domestic ques- tions; to amplify the right of with drawal, and to fortify the power of congress to decide questions of peace or war under article ten.
 It was declared the information that Democrats were in a receptive mood toward such a proposal did not come from Senator Hitchcock, of Ne braska, the administration leader, but fro ma source considered entirely au- thoritative. The Nebraska senator himself denied that he had taken part in any such negotiations and said his advocacy of unreserved ratification remained unaltered. MT. Lodge also denied that he had given assent to the proposed reservations.

PRESCOTT HAS
 MARBLE WORKS
Is Located in Rice Building on West Main-Will Manufacture and Sell Monuments, Tomb stones and Iron Fences.

w. H. McBryde, owner and pro- prietor of Prescott's newest industry, the Prescott Marble and. Granite Works, stated this morning that it would be the policy of his company to supply his trade with monuments and tombstones at such low rate that it will make it hard for foreign con- cerns to compete with him. At the same time he assures each customer that he will get the same high class service as is given by the larger com panies and the purchaser who buys from the home concern will have the satisfaction of examining his product before buying. With this policy, MT. McBryde intends to build up a sub stantial business and save agents commissions to the purchaser.
 MT. McBryde has as his assistant R. H. Thacker, who comes here from Clarksville, Texas, and is an expert marble cutter, which trade he has followed practically all his life.
 The company will manufacture and sell all kinds of tombstones, and monuments, making speciality of w. O. w. monuments. They will also handle iron fencing, manufactured by the largest company of it's kind in the country. MT. McBryde states that the business is starting off very satis- factorily, number of orders having already been received.

ONE CONVICTED IN
 WAR ON OLD HIGH.
Grocer is Fined $500 and Costs For Selling Sugar at 15 Gents Per Pound-Attorney General is Busy.

Washington, Aug. 13.--Important new developments in the governments fight to reduce the high cost of living came today.
 One of the most interesting was the announcement by Attorney Gen. eral Palmer that the first federal con- viction for profteering had been ob- tained. District Attorney Lucey tele- graphed from Binghampton, New York, that retail grocer had been fined $500 for selling sugar at 15 cents la pound. No details were given and the law under which the case was brought was not known here.
 "A few good cases of profteering in each state will settle that trouble," MT. Palmer remarked.
 'In order to book persons guilty of raising prices exorbitantly or hoard ing food to advance prices, Mir. Palm CT submitted to the agriculture com mittee of congress the draft of an amendment to the food control act ex- tending it's provisions to clothing and containers of foods and feeds, and providing a penalty of $5,00O fine or two years imprisonment or both for violation of the law. Chairman Haul gen, of the House committee, an- nounced that the amendment would be considered immediately by sub committee and that a report might be made tomorrow.
 It is MT. Palmer's idea that this amendment should be considered be- fore taking up other amendments sug- gested by President Wilson to extend the effective life of the food control act beyond the war period.
 Three cabinet officers asked special appropriations from congress for the campaign against inflated prices. Sec retary Redfield requested '$410,000 for the work of the bureau of standards in assuring full weight and measure, and of the bureau of fisheries in in- troducing new fish food. Secretary Wilson asked for $47O,OOO for the em- ployment of special agents and others, and MT. Palmer requested $1,000,000 for the bureau of investigation and for the expenses of the state food ad ministrators assisting the department of justice.
 Another $200,OOO was asked for antitrust suits especially that against the five big packing companies. The attorney general also wants $30O,O00 for other work of the department not directly connected with the living problem, such as the enforcement of wartime prohibition, prosecution of appeals and hiring of special assist ants.
