Mark Smith Named Upon U. S. Senate Committee to Probe Alleged 0utrageS In Mexico
 Against American Citizens

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Blanket authority to bring out all the facts about Mexican outrages on Americans and American property, and to formn- late a remedial program, was given to the foreign relations committee to- day by the senate.
 By vote resolution directing the inquiry was adopted Later Chair may Lodge named a subcommittee headed Dy Senator Fall; Republican, New Mexico, to do the actual work of examining witnesses and collection of information. The subcommittee will begin it's task within a few days.
 A provision authorizing the com mittee to recommend what measures should be taken to prevent further outrages was added at the suggestion of Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Ari- zona. Under this clause it is expect. ed a definite Mexican policy will be formulated and submitted as a recom- mendation to the administration.
 In the opinion of some members, the task before the committee will be matter of months.
 Senator Fall made it clear tonight that his subcommittee would take full advantage of the broad authoriza- tion conferred and would not be spar ing of time or resources in its at- tempt to uncover the whole story Of Mexican infringement on American rights during recent years.
 It is thought likely that the work of the subcommittee will take it to the Mexican border to investigate conditions there and may bring be- fore it some of the high officials of the American government Besides Senator Fall the members are Sena- tors Brandegee, Republican, Conn, and Smith, Democrat, Arizona.
 The resolution authorizing the in luiry was introduced by Senator King. Democrat. Utah. The original plan of Republican leaders was to have an Investigating committee com posed of both senate and house mem- bers. and joint resolution for that purpose was blocked in the house.

 IF RUMAN|ANS

PARIS, Aug. 8. (By the Associated Press)-Nicholas Misu of the Ruman- ian peace delegation was called today before the supreme council on account of the Rumanian's refusal to comply with the demands of the peace con ference. M Misu denied that Ru- mania had broken away from the peace conference, but explained that Rumanian officers in Budapest had ignored the supreme councils orders.
 The attitude of the Rumanians is causing great embarrassment to the supreme council, it is understood. The council members expressed re- sentiment at the unofficial statement of the Rumanians that Germany will help them if the allies do not.

 Immediate steps by executive agen- | cles Of the government promised by the president included:
 Pledges Made by President
 The limiting and controlling of wheat shipments and credits to facili- tate the purchasing of wheat in such a way as not to raise rather than to lower price of flour at home. Sale of surplus stock of food and clothing in the hands of the govern ment. The forced withdrawal from storage and sales of surplus stocks i'm private hands.
 General recommendations included.
 Increase of production.
 Careful buying by housewives.
 Fair dealing with the people on the part of the producers, middle men and merchants.
 That there be no threats and undue 1nsistence upon the interest of a single class.
 Correction of many things" in the relation between capital and labor in respect to wages and conditions of labor
 In concluding, the president made plea for deliberate. intelligent ac- tion, reminding congress that an un- balanced world was looking to the United States.
 we and We almost alone" he said. now hold the world steady. ITnon our steadfastness and self-possession depend the affairs of nations every where. It is in this supreme crisis thls crisis for all mankind-that America must prove her mettle."
 Ihe presidents speech, in part. is as follows:
 Would Make Control Permanent
 Let me urge in the first pIace. that the present food control act should be extended both as to period of time during which it shall remain in op- eration, and as to the commodities to which is shall apply Its provisions against hoarding should be made to apply not only to food but also to feedstuffs, to fuel, to clothing and to many other commodities where un- doubtedly necessaries of life. As it stands now it is limited in operation to the period of the war and becomes upon formal proclamation of peace. But I should judge that it was clearly within the executive DOW CT of the congress to make similar permanent provisions and regulations with regard to all goods destined for interstate commerce and to exclude them from interstate shipment if the requirements of the law are not com piled with.
 Some such regulation is impera- lively necessary or the abuses that have grown up in the manipulation of prices by the withholding of food stuffs. and other necessaries of life, be effectively prevented. There can be no doubt of either the neces- sity or the legality of such a measure. May I not call attention to the fact

U. s. Announces Prices of 72 Different Commodities That Will Be Sold to the Public Regardless of Original Cost

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The war department made public today a con- plete price list on all commodities available for sale to the public through the parcels post or through selling agencies. Costs of the com modities to the government, the de- partment said, had been disregarded entirely in fixing the prices of sale, which are materially lower than pre- vailing market rates.
 The prices quoted are f. O. b. from storage points in each of the 13 dis tricts into which the country is di- vided for war department subsistence purposes.
 The price tables include the price per can or individual units in each case and also the price per case or larger container.
 They also show the gross weight per can and per case, in order that the public may arrive at the price they will have to pay, by adding parcel post rates, from the nearest distributing point to the home of the consumer, to the f. o. b. prices quoted.
 In the parcels post distribution, no orders will be received direct by the war department, but only through the postoffice which will requisition the supplies by case or larger package, the postmasters in turn breaking these shipments up into unit packages of single can or several cans. Sales to municipalities at the new prices will begin as soon as the surplus property officers at the various zone supply offices and depots have re- ceived the quotations made public to- day.
 Sales to individuals through the parcels post will be inaugurated Aug ust IS.
 Quotations on some of the leading commodities are:
 Bacon, $4.15 per can of 17
 pounds; corn beef, 53 cents for
 can of 1.36 pounds; baked beans,
 five cents for can of IA pounds;
 sweet corn, 10 cents per 214

 PEACE TREATY
Note To Allies Says It Is impossible To Fulfill Terms
 With Babies Starving; Say War Debt UniustIy Split Up

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 8 (By the AS.
 sociated Press.)-A summary of the
 Austrian note presented to the allied
 peace mission at St. Germain, France,
 yesterday, has been received here from Vienna. ''If German-Austria ter
 ritorial demands are fulfilled to the
 minimum extent asked for in the ap-
 pendix to the note," says the sum-
 mary, "German-Austria will make eff.
 forts to believe she can live indepen-
 dently and in peace in this territory.
 She expects the league of nations will hear her in her hour of distress.
 "On the other hand, German-Austria still is firmly convinced that the econ omic burdens imposed upon her by the peace treaty cannot really be car. ried out and that if they are not sub plenary powers regarding 'the un- collapse.
 Tt will be impossible for the next few months to deliver milking cows and cattle, as German-Austria's chiI- dren are perishing for lack of meat and milk.
 ''German-Austria must allow herself to be placed under the entente DOW CTS financial control but she expects the separations commission will act with the consideration demanded by her desperate position and grant the necessary credit to obtain raw ma terials and foodstuffs''
 The note urges amendment with a view to investing commission with pleanary powers regarding the un- just and unequal division of old Au- stria's debts among the states which | succeeded it-and the injustice of stipu- | ations regarding war loans."
 Tt seems self-evident,' the note | continues, that all states in what | was formerly Austria Hungary should | iivide the debts of the old monarchy. Apart from the bank notes debts, | clauses in the peace treaty show burden of debt for German-Austria of | some forty billion marks. Thus two hrds of the entire debt of the Au- 'trian states, without the note debt, s placed upon the Shoulders of one fifth of the former population" (The note proposes as in the case of war debt, that all debts shall 'e divided by the separations commits ion according to individual states to hem. A similar proposal is made re- 'arding Austro-Hungary bank notes leld abroad
 The note concluded with a refer 'nce to settling questions between ierman-Austria and other states of he former monarchy, declaring that not capable of fulfillment must be relieved and these questions egulated by the reparations commit ee in order not to prolong the peace 
 Tt would be of indisputable value or all parties," the note adds, If the members of the German-Austrian de 'utation were heard and called upon o give oral explanations before the ommittees."
 The note is accompanied by exten- i've proposals on territorial and po- ltical questions.

WILSON SCORES CRIMINAL PROFIT TAKING; ASSERTS RATIFICATION IF TREATY WILL LOWER L|v|NG C0ST
President In Address Before Joint Session of Conuress Says Present High Prices Not Jstified Urues Federal
 Licensing of Corporations In Interstate Commerce and txtenSon ot Food Control Act to All Le'S Necessities

! WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-President Wilson laid several specific proposals before congress today for checking the high cost of living, but at the same time declared permanent results could not be expected until a peace time basis was fully restored by Yatifica- tion of the peace treaty. High prices, the president told con- gress, were not justified by shortage of supplies, either present or pros pective, but were created in many cases 'artificially and deliberately by vicious practices" Retailers, he said, were responsible in large part for extortionate prices.
 Strikes, the president warned the labor world, would only make matters worse, and those who sought to en- ploy threats of coercion wrongly "pre- pared their own destruction"
 Leaders of organized labor, the president said, he was sure would presently yield to second sober thoughts.
 Prices "IIiegaI and Criminal"
 'Illegar' and criminal" were the words the president used in character
 
 present day prices have been brought about
 Present laws, he said, would be en- ergetically employed to the limit to force out food hoards and meet the situation so far as possible, but to supplement the existing statutes, he specifically urged the following:
 Licensing of all corporations en- gagged in interstate commerce with spicific regulations designed to secure competitive selling and prevent ''unconscionable profits" in the method of marketing.
 Extension of the food control act to peace times and the applI- cation of it's provisions against hoarding to fuel, clothing and other necessities of life as we'll as food.
 A penalty in the food control act for profiteering. A law regu- lating cold storage, limiting the time during which goods may be held; prescribing a method of disposing of them if held beyond the permitted period and requir- ing that when released goods bear the date of storage.
 Laws requiring that goods re- leased from storage for inter- state commerce bear the selling price at which they went into storage and requiring that all goods destined for interstate com merce bear the price at which they left the hands of the pro ducers.
 Enactment of the pending bill for the control of security issues. Additional appropriations for gov ernment agencies which can SUD- ply the public with full informa- tion as to prices at which retail CTS buy.
 Early ratification of the peace treaty, so that the free pro- cesses of supply and demand can

 Mrs. Rosa Mckay, member of the state legislature from Gila county. one of the states contingent of witnesses from Globe, was first called to the stand in the hearing of Wager. Mrs. Mckay said she had seen Wager walk ing toward a group of other armed citizens, near the depot at Bisbee, on the morning of the day of the depor- tations. She saw him do or say noth- ing to anyone at that time, she said. Mrs. Mckay said on direct examina- tion that she thought" she had seen Wager later in the day at the baseball park at Warren. Questioned regard ing this during cross-examination Mrs. Mckay was not certain whether or not she had seen the defendant at Warren. She was asked if Wager had done anything at Warren to at- tract her particular attention and re- piled that if she had seen him there she knew he was taking part in the deportations. She did not answer di- rectly the question of counsel for the defense, but insisted vigorously that, whether or not she had seen Wager, nothing would ever convince her but what he was taking part in the de- portations fif'' she had seen him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Reports
 began to arrive at the railroad admin istration headquarters late today from over the country saying that the strik- ing shopmen were returning to work pending the adjustment of their wage demands by Director General Hines. Kansas City and Cincinnati officials expressed belief that normal condi- tions would prevail tomorrow.
 At all places where men are out, local officials of the railroad admins tration are cooperating with union chairmen in explaining the necessity for going back to the job at once, which President Wilson made a pre- requisite to the opening of negotia- tions.
 Indianapolis and Denver were the only places from which came reports that the men were refusing to resume their places. Union headquarters were sure that the shopmen would make it almost 100 per cent return.
 Tt is little too early to get mass of reports from locals, but we have already been notified by a number of union officials that their men intend ed to go back at once," said Acting President Jewell. of the railroad sec tion of the American Federation of Labor.
