The report shows that for this sec

of which six were fatal. for the week of

fatal, for the same week of 1919 was
made. There was one accident to

1918 there was one accident for every
109.913 miles operated. The road en-

The campaign in the central western

NATURAL CAUSES
BLAMED FOR H. C.L.
Experts Warn Senatorial In
vestigators They May Not
Find Profiteering.
RENTS MAY GO HIGHER

Governmental experts warned the
Senate subcommittee which is investi-
eating the high cost of living in the
District of Columbia that it may find
the increased prices due mainly to nat
ural causes and not to profiteering by
dealers.
The subcommittee was told that it
will proba bly, find difficulty in identify
ing the profiteering with specific arti-
cles but should cause expert account
ants to examine the books of concerns
and compare their total profits with the
profits of pre-war periods.
Would Not Distress Fair Dealers.
= When the subcommittee. consisting of
Senators Ball. Capper. Elkins, Sheppard
and Dial, met yesterday afternoon in
the room of the Senate committee on
the District of Columbia. Chairman Ball
OF the subcommittee announced that
the subcommittee does not propose to
distress any merchants who are getting
legitimate profits, and wants only to I'M
cover cases of profiteering, if such
there be.
Senator Sherman, chairman of the
fun committee. suggested that it might
be well to ascertain if it were true, as
has been charged. that the margin of
profit on merchandise in this city is
greater than in other cities: also If re-
tail prices were relatively higher. He
believed the question of rents should be
taken up likewise.

Dame Rumor was a passenger on

on this st. Swithin legend. She thinks
the forty days of rain gag is just
what Mr.. Ford thinks history is and
declares that the whole idea is a di-
rect steal from Noah's famous propo-
ganda in preparation for the food.
If an old geeser can get sainted for
bringing forty days of rain onto an
otherwise war-crippled world, then
they ought to start giving distin-
guished service crosses to conscien-
tious DIRECTORS.

Heavy Increase in October.

: DR.. Mosher said he had heard that
It is intended to put into effect a 80
per cent increase in rentals in Octo-
Der. He had also heard that there is
an agreement among real estate men
not to rent unfurnished houses and
that in some case empty houses had
been furnished by. the dealers and
then rented. He said it is difficult to
rent an unfurnished house in this city
now; one can buy houses and rent
furnished houses in plenty.
But he warned the committee not to
penalize real estate men or owners
to the extent of discouraging building
and extension. AS an offset to high
cost prices he hoped the committee
would recommend the development of
the cooperative plan of buying. He
understood that some of the trades
unions here were now looking into this
plan. which has been very successful
IN other cities. Increased production
should be recommended as the chief
remedy for high prices.

Difficult to Show Profiteerig.

He defined profiteering as the TAX
Ing of undue profits in 1919 as COM
pared with previous years. To ascer-
tain whether this has occurred would
require the employment of expert ac-
eountants to go over the books of
merchants. Even then, through
faulty bookkeeping, it might be diff
cult to locate it. 1t would be difficult
to show profiteering in particular
commodities: in many stores certain
articles are sold at a loss to attract
trade and the profit is made up on
other things.
He thought that in Investigating
rentals the committee would do well
to take Capt. Peyser's records as a
point of departure. There were in his
files $4,000 cases of alleged attempted
profiteering in rentals. 1t might be
possible to ascertain what real es-
tate firms uphold clients in profiteer-
ing.

funds for federal cooperation with

Urges "openmindedness.

DR.. W. r. Mosher, an expert now re-
tanned by the committee on salary re-
classification. gave the committee the
benefit of his advice He said the first
requisite in undertaking an inquiry of
this kind was to enter into it in a spirit
of openmindedness. He said the high
cost of living is due mainly to the ex-
tension of credit and issue of paper
money during the war. The second
contributing cause is the law of supply
and demand-a curtailment of produc-
ton with an increased demand, and a
shortage of labor and material He did
not believe it was due in large measure
to profiteering
