DOLLAR WORTH 27 CENTS
is TESTIMONY, COST HAS
INCREASED 73 PER CENT

CHICAGO, Sept 16.-The American
dollar is worth but 27 cents today.
Professor William Ogburn of Co
lumbia university placed this valua-
tion on the American dollar today
while testifylng for the stockyards
employees at the wage hearing before
Federal Judge Alschuler.
"Since before the war the cost of
living in the United States has in
creased 73 per cent Professor og-
burn testified. II base my estimate
on careful investigation"
"From June /. 1918, TO the latter
part of August. 1919. the cost OF liv
ing went up 3 per cent During the
same period of time found that
wholesale prices went up 6 per cent.
There Is now considerable slow
starvation in the United States result
Ing from under nourishment," Pro-
fessor Ogburn declared.

VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
SHOULD Be REPORTED

Persons who have accidents with
their vehicles and fail to REPORT their
troubles to the police are arousing the
council. The state law and city ordln-
ances require that accidents involving
vehicles or vehicles and persons be re-
ported to the police.
Last Thursday night man was
struck by a vehicle and his arm bro-
ken, according to the police commit
tee. The newspapers were not notifi-
ed nor were the police. As a result
neither the victim nor the persons in
flicting the injury are officially known
to the police.
1t is matter of protection to both
parties that the accidents should be
reported. the committee points out.
In case Of legal action, a report to the
police. names Of witnesses, time of day
circumstances. etc, might be of inesti-
mable help. Especially is this true of
an accident which results in heavy
damage or in fatalities.
Not all blame for laxity is placed
upon individuals by the police COM
mlttee, for there have been cases In
which police were not alive to their
duty in such matters.
Persons whose cars collide with an
other or injure pedestrians should go
a. once to police headquarters and tell
their story, if not to the police. then
to the recorder. An attempt is to be
made TO check up on accidents not re-
ported hereafter, the police commit
tee says, and deal with offenders.

LONDON. June 1s.-England does not
intend to let the recent reports made by
the Irish-Americaa delegates to pass
unnoticed. A, Parliamentary answer is
probable, while from all sides there is
a growing demand for an immediate
strong protest against what is termed
an undignined and unfair Interference
with the affairs Of Great Britain.
The affair Is interpreted here as an
attempt to make the Irish question an
International issue. and to place Great
Britain in the position of a mere party
to the dispute IN which foreign States
would act as advisers and intermedi-
aries.
Those who wish to prevent anything
like III feeling between the United States
and Great Britain are trying their best
to interpret the recent resolution Of the
Senate as an episode in American pol
tics which does not concern England.
For this reason the leading British
newspapers refrain from taking any part
in the controversy IN progress in the
Urited States upon the merits or de-

PARIS, June 1S.--President Wilson is
not yet through with the Americans Of
Irish extraction who are demanding an
investigation of the Irish situation in
keeping with the Presidents oft-repeated
pleas for justice for small peoples. F.
P. Walsh and e. F. Dunno, the repre-
sentatives of Irish societies in America,
obviously are displeased with the results
of their interview with the President a
few days ago and have followed up their
report on the Inspection of Irish 5ails
with a supplementary statement which
is made the basis for a renewal OF their
demand for an investigation by an i'm
partial tribunal.
In a letter to the President they as
sert that since the submission of their
original report spies and agents have
been active in infiicting reprisals upon
persons from whom Messrs. Walsh and
Dunno obtained information in thsir
Irish tour. They answer the British
denial Of the charge that police and SOL
diers beat political prisoners by Offering
to-produce a prisoner who through such
beatings has been MANNED and disfigured
for life.
President Wilson is asked to place
these additional facts before the Peace
Conference and to urge the Justice OF a
hearing before that tribunal. The let
ter is coached In the most courteous
terms. but there Is no attempt to con-
ceal the belief of the petitioners that
they are insisting on right which must
be granted IL the Presidents course Is to
square with his professions.
Messrs. Walsh and Dunno sent to
Secretary Lansing also copies of the
supplementary report asking that 1t tie

merits of President Wilson's peace pol
!cies, and upon his attitude toward the
League Of Nations. although any de-
cision made by the United States Is GER
tain to affect Great Britain greatly.
This policy has been followed with
fair success so far as the newspapers
are concerned. but when It comes to
the people their opinions cannot be con-
trolled In the same way. AS rule.
they resent bitterly this American In
reference.
The average Englishman knows what
a large part the Irish vote plays In
American affairs and realizes that the
supposed grievances Of Ireland might
throw a cloud over Anglo-American re-
lations for years; therefore, many de-
mand that an immediate answer to the
Walsh-Dunne report be drawn up, a con-
vincing demonstration of its untruth-
tulness
These men are calling upon the Brit
ish Government to seek diligently an
honest settlement of the Irish problem
and to publish IL Immediately so as to
bring all nations to understand that.
while the Irish question is chiefly Brit
Ish concern. the British people intend
that within the limits Of their own Sc
curity Ireland shall administer her own
affairs.

port the Evening Globe says:

ARSENIC IN BODY
OF SCHOOL TEACHER
Harvard Chemist Testifies in
Gay Murder Trial.

F. Whitney of Harvard University, an
swering a question under cross exami-
nation to-day in the trial OF Mrs. Bessie
n. (Skeels) Lundgren. charged with the
murder of Florence w. Gay, said that
there was a difference OF opinion among
medical experts as to whether arsenic
was present in every human body. In
his own experience, he said. he had ex-
amined the organs OF many persons
without finding any trace Of arsenic.
Prof Whitney had previously testified
that he had found more than three and
one-third grains of arsenic In the organs
of the school teachers body and that
In his opinion her death was due to an
arsenical poisoning. Counsel for the de-
tense questioned him closely as to his
methods Of examining the organs. When
he said that he had calculated the
amount OF arsenic in the liver from an
examination of thirty grams of that
organ he was asked whether his esti-
mate would not be incorrect II the ar
senic were not evenly distributed. He
admitted this but said that in his ex-
perience he had always found an even
distribution.
Prof. Whitney testified that II was i'm
possible for the poison to have been
distributed through the body by any
embalming fluid In the manner and 70

Asked how tho poison was admin
istered, the witnsss said it was probably
