GERMAN CAPTAIN FINED.
Refused to Salute American Officer and
Paid 1000 Marks.

COBLENZ, June 27.-Captain Bach
hauscr. assigned by the German army
to duty in Cobenz. was fined ] 1000
marks yesterday for refusing to salute
en- American lieutenant The captain
contended the war was over and that
any way, the regulations did not call
for his sautiug an officer of lower rank.
This Is the first instance of an action
Of this kind since a definite turn was
taken in the peace situation
American officers say that after the
treaty of peace is signed the regulation
issued last December compelling Ger
man officers to salute will probably not
be enforced. Civilians generally have
seemed relieved as result of the action
of the German national assembly at
Weimar in reference to peace Several
individual instances have been reported
here however, in which civilians in the
streets have assumed naughty atti-
tudc toward the soldiers without scri-
Gus results.
The Americans do not expect any
trouble between civilians and soldiers
but extra precautions have been taken
by the military police ut Treves, Cob.
LEM and other towns to prevent trouble
With 4 view to avoiding clashes. nc
night leaves will be allowed in any OF
the towns within the occupied area, the
officers desiring to have their men in the
barracks at night, when most of tho
| quarrels and fights between German;
and Americans have occurred.

KENT FAVORS
PACKERS CONTROL
Member of Tariff Commits
sion Discusses Three Fea-
lures of Kenyon Bill 49,
sfFfef. = cas-
NEW CONCEPTION s..itlli
OF RECEIVERSHR

Would Protect the Public Rather Than
Creditors of a Concern Establish
ment of Community Warehouses
Would Be Very Beneficial, He Says.
WASHINGTON, June 27-Three
features of the Kenyon bill to regulate
the packing industry are said by Will
liam Kent, member of the United States
tariff commission and formerly a rep
resentative in congress from California,
to be of great Importance to producers
and consumers and to make this bill
decided Improvement over other bills
which have been considered by congress.
In the Kenyon bill, - said Mr.. Kent,
there Is new application of the idea
of receivership. If a packer has vio-
lated provisions of the bill, the govern
ment can apply for receiver who
would conduct the business in the in
| terests and for the protection of the
| public. Heretofore the thought has been
that receivership is solely for the
protection of the owners and creditors
of a business. However, this receiver
ship would not be effective if the ac-
cused packer had shown cause in a
! United States court why it should not
be ordered. which he would be required
to do speedily.
"The second new feature of the bill
is a provision which gives the govern
ment the power TO prevent the extern
/ sion of packer control over related IN
dustries. That Is, the packers would
be held to the packing industry and
not allowed to dominate other food in
dustrieS 1t has been shown how widely
the packers are gaining a monopoly OF
food products other than meat.
- Encouragement nv the federal gov
eminent of community efforts to estab
fish food warehouses and retail dis
+, tributing centers is the third new fea
, ture Of the bill that is of particular in
tcrest to consumers. This will tend L
decentralize the meat industry by civ
, ing local dealers and producers a bette
opportunity to do business than the.

''The secretary Of agriculture unde

The oil land leasing bill which has
been under consideration by the Unit
ed States senate recently, contains pro-
visions of great interest and much
value to the public land states. The
bill provides that the royalties secured
from all such lands shall be distributed
as follows: To the federal treasury,
10 per cent to the United States rec
lamation fund. 40 per cent. and to the
state in which the royalty originates.
45 per cent.
Under the reclamation act. the -
per cent for irrigation would also be
spent in the state. so that Wyoming.
for instance. would receive the benefit
of 80 per cent of the oil royalties from
its public lands.
