jurisdiction the suits would be
brought.
While he was announcing prosecu-
tions Of the packers Palmer was un-
leashing his special agents on ma
tion-wide trail of profiteering and food
hcarding. These prosecutions come
under the food-control law.
All United States attorneys we're in

and libel them under Federal law.

to have the law-enforcement machin-
cry Of the Government sidetrack ev-

Mr.. Palmer's telegram to District
Attorneys follows:
"The food-control act, which still Is
in force in Section 6, makes boarding
of necessaries, as defined therein, a
crime, and Section Z provides that
whenever necessaries shall be boarded
they may be proceeded against by pro-
cess of suit for condemnation. There
is much complaint in the country
about the extensive storage Of food
products which, in many instances.
may amount to a violation Of the law.
"You are directed Immediately to
employ all the facilities at your COM
mand, and make use OF all available
sources of information TO seek out all
dealers guilty OF having boarded with
in the meaning of the act and to ascer-
tain If, In any other respect, these pro-
visions of the food control act have
been violated in your district.
please proceed with promptness
and diligence to make thorough in
vestigation of condition in your dis
trict in respect to possible violation of
this law and of the antitrust laws, and
when the evidence warrants see that
arrests are made without further in
structions.
"This is business OF prime import
ance which demands your immediate
personal attention Conditions require
countrywide campaign against
hoarders and profiteers, and l desire
tho Department of Justice to use ev-
cry legal means available to put an
end to their activities"

BODIES TODAY

sous Comes TO Close Today With
Great Parade Through City's
Streets-VisitOrs Deserve
Many Compliments
Heard.

The annual meeting of the Grand
Lodge Of Colored Masons which has
been in session in Maysville since
Monday, came to close at noon today
when the various grand lodge
branches reached an adjournment af-
ter having finished one of the greatest
grand lodge meetings this order has
ever held in the state and after trans
acting weighty business of an unusual
amount of Importance.
The finale to the annual meeting
was the great street demonstration
given in the business section of the
city today when great number of the
delegates, members of various Masonic
organizations, united in a grand pa
rade which demonstrated to those on
the street inspecting the demonstra-
tion not only the strength of the Ma
sonic order in Kentucky but the quail
ity of its membership. In that DEM
onstration most every city and town
as we'll as community was represent
ed by its best citizens. The best of
the colored men and women in Ken
lucky were there and this could be
plainly seen.
During the entire session of the
Grand Lodge there was not the least
bi. of disorder of any sort such as
might have been expected when such a
body Of people from various sections
OF great state. The order was per-
feet. In fact, but for the presence of
the men and women on the streets,
those not permitted to enter their fra :
ternal circles would not have known
that there was anything unusual going
on in the city. Their business was
handled in a high class business like
| manner without amy disorder or dis
sention of any sort and the colored
Masons of Kentucky are being loudly
praised by the citizens of Maysville
as high class lot of men and women
such as Maysville will be glad to well
come back at any time. Their visit to
Maysville has been enjoyed by the peo-
pie of Maysville and it is hoped that
they have enjoyed our little city
enough to return.
The local colored Masons are de-
serving of much credit for the high
class manner in which they managed
this great meeting. They looked after
,he care, comfort and pleasure of the
visitors and allowed nothing to go

washington, August 6.-Anti-trust
suits against the great meat-packing
firms we're announced today by AT
torney-General A. Mitchell Palmer as
the first concrete development of the
Government campaign to reduce the
high cost of living.
Armour, Swift, Morris, Wilson and
Cudahy the big Five" packers who
have been pictured in the investiga-
tions of the Federal Trade Commits
sion and before congressional commit
tees as a great combination in control
of food products, are to be hailed again
before the Federal Courts by Special
Prosecutors.
The evidence in hand, Attorney-Gen-
sral Palmer declared, indicated "a
clear violation of the antitrust laws
Whether or not the prosecutions
would be civil or criminal the Attor-
ney-General declined to state, merely
recalling that Federal law provided
both.
The history of all the Governments
antitrust prosecutions in 25 years
does not show a single individual hav-
Ing served a Jail sentence for a viola
tion, but there are evidences that the
Government hopes for sentences in the
present campaign.
Palmer,s announcement of action
against the packers follows:
"The Department of Justice has
made a careful review Of the evidence
developed by the investigation into
the combination of packers, both by
the Federal Trade Commission and the
hearings before the committees OF
Congress.
"This review has been made by
lawyers retained specially for the
purpose and their report now Is In
hand. am satisfied that the evidence
adduced indicates clear violation oi
the antitrust laws. and prompt action
will be taken accordingly

the immediate direction of the Depart
ment of Justice, will be in charge oi

Carpenter went to Cincinnati sever
a. years ago and was a newsboy, hav-

The following is taken from the
Cincinnati Post:
Thousands who pass Fifth and Wal
nut streets daily wondered Wednesday
at the absence of Guy Carpenter, a.
blind newsboy, 1853 West Seventh
street, who sold papers on one OF
the corners there for four years.
They remembered that in spite OF
his handicap Carpenter never had alb
sc ented himself from his stand.
Few of his friends knew that Car.
penters affliction, brought on by ar
attack of measles when he was 2:
years old, was causing him to become
more despondent every day. When hi
arose Wednesday he decided deatl
was welcome.
Earl Davis, his wife and Jeanett,
Creves, who live at 1853 West Seventh
street, heard shot about a. m. The.

his clothing aflame. The blind news
boy had shot himself through thu
