BEST THEATRE.

If you want to see the unconditional surrender of certain man-hater'S $ club and the sensational capture of it's leader and members by Cupid and his agents, see Marguerite Clark, dainty little Paramount star, and the SUD- porting cast in her new picture, Girls which will be shown at the Best theatre today and tomorrow.
 Pamela Gordon, the role played by the star, is confirmed manhater. In fact her views on the subject are SC confirmed that she seeks to covent other girls to her principles, and has formed a man-haters' club consisting of herself and two other girls, her room-mates.
 But one by one her converts feel the pleasant sting of Cupid's darts and fall out of the ranks, leaving the little heroine of the story alone to wage her warfare on love and man. But her battle is hard one and the way she is finally bested and forced to capitulate to ommander-in-chief cupid and his opposing forces, con- sisting of young Edgar Holt, is said to one of the most delightful comedy ronances ever seen on the screen.

 "I want, if possible, to sec some plan devised here that will permit somebody to say that beef, pork and commodities of that kind cannot go above certain per cent" MT. Lee said.
 MT. Lee also expressed emphatic disapproval of "cost plus" war con- 1 tracts, by which he said owners o1 inferior factors had obtained fine plants and big profits at the expense of taxpayers.
 As step toward breaking the hign prices, plans are being made by Secretary Baker, Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson and Representatives Kelly, of Pennsylvania, to sell thru the parcel post surplus army food stocks valued at $124,0OO,000.
 Palmer May Take Action.
 In response to questions, MT. Pal mer admitted that there was no law by which prices could be lowered dir ectly, but he declinen to say whether new legislation was needed to enable may be guilty of profiteering.
 "There is a great deal of good law on the statute books" the attorney general declared
 When course of action is decided upon the federal trade commission is understood to be ready to supply the most extensive collection of indus trial information ever gathered by any government, Production cost figures have been obtained by the commission on industries, represent ing $30,0OO, ,000,0 ,000 worth of capital, as the result of it's activities during the war in advising the government what prices to pay for the millions of dollars of purchases made by it.
 For this reason, it is believed the commission is ready to urge that fur ther investigations which seem to be foreshadowed by resolutions pending in congress, would only muddle the situation.
 The commissions investigations during the war, all of which dealt only with the most authoritative in formation arrived from the books of companies involved, are said to have shown that profiteering was at a minimum in the retail trades, most of the exorbitant profits which are being made going to the, manufacturers and wholesalers. As remedy, the com mission generally is understood to favor a licensing system for corpora tions doing an interstate business, the system to be appher first in those cases, where the mulcting of the public has been most fragrant.

Few London Police
 Obey Strike Order
(By The Associated Press.)

London, August 1.-(4:50 a. m.)- Early this morning few policemen had responded to the strike call, issued last night following mass meetings at various places. The night patrol men start work at 10 o'clock, and nearly all remained at their posts turnout the night.
 A large majority of the policemen were not aware of the intention of union to call them out. Some refused to believe that strike had been or dered, and some expressed disappro- val. It appeared evident that the move was decided upon secretly by the union executives.
 The grievance of the police is the bill before parliament recognizing the department. This provides for the organization of a police union, but prohibits it from affiliating with labor unons, and prohibits policemen from going on strike under any cir cnmstances with heavy penalties

 search of four negroes who had hid den in the stock yards were driven
 off by militia men with lowered bay. onets, after the whites had demanded
 that the blacks be delivered over to them. No casualties resulted. About 400 white men beat one of three negroes severely at 47th street and Vincennes avenue this afternoon.
 The other two, both armed, escaped
 after firing few shots. No one was
 reported wounded.
 A negro was beaten by five white
 men who he said he recognized, at State and 20th street. Two of the ne- groes who died today were found un- conscious on the West side, far from the negro sections.

 Chief Garrity, however, announced that 1000 special policemen would go on duty tomorrow assisting the police, of whom about 4,000 are on riot duty. The troops now on active duty number approximately $500. With the lessening of violence, pub- lie officials became more active in investigation of riots and the causes.

 "I think so," Mir. Cummings re- piled. Tt is perfect folly to spend
 money on trip of this character when you ought really to send public
 accountants, and when there are SC
 many other problems, including the high cost of living, demanding con-
 sideration."
 "The republican organization" the witness went on, "has indulged in plenty of islander directed at the presi. dent of the United States and you should be sportsmen enough to stand [mild criticism. This isn't marker to what is coming"
 "If 1ou do there will be an investi- gation by the house," the chairman
 interrupted.
 Fine" the witness replied. q
 have quite enjoyed myself this even- ing"
 Chairman Frear contended that the democrats were making concerted
 attempt to discredit the inquiry, while Mir. Cummings insisted that the republicans in control of congress were trying to criticize every single act of the administration during the
 war. Mir. Magee vented to know if MT. Cummings as chairman of the demo- cratic organ zatior. feared the re-
 suits of the inquiry.
 Quite the contrary, my dear sir"
 he replied. Il look forward with great pleasure to these investigations.
 The leaders of the republican party
 are doing us great service. But I
 think you are on the wrong track and
 that's why you have my sympathy. I am in favor of the republicans inves-
 tigating everything the democrats aid. l believe you gentlemen are actuated by high motives, but the
 whole thing will come to naught."
