erty. He could not be located last
night.
The Howards and Vernons are
going to appear before the city
council when the rent probe is re-
sumed this week.
The Cone cottages are across the
street from the Raleigh apartments,
the tenants of which appeared be-
fore the city council Friday night
to complain against the advance of
from SIS to $50 month for small
apartments and unpleasant exterior
conditions. The rear of an old apart
ment building is close to the east
side of the Raleigh apartments.
There are high weeds within a few
feet of the front of the building
and there is rubbish in the back
yard, it was said. One of the ten
ants of the Raleigh complained that
all the decorating that has been done
in his apartment during the last year
was done by himself.
Further plan of action in the
city's rent probe will be discussed
by the city council committee Of the
whole Monday morning. Mr.. Butler
insists that the owners and agents
should be required to bring their
books into the council chamber and
expose them to the light of day.
Thus far the city's rent probe has
about as much punch as the city
food probe. The state officials &C.
complished more here in two days
in a food investigation, than the
city accomplished in two weeks.
Most of the arguments presented
Friday night by the real estate men
and owners and managers of apart
ments was of a general nature. By
ron Hastings submitted a confiden-
tlal statement to Chairman Ringer,
showing figures in connection with
the 1dalia apartment. That state
ment was not made public.
Some of the landlords commended
that the new schedule of rents
should be based on present repro
duction values, rather than actual
cost of the buildings.

No Reduction in Staple
Food in Last Two Weeks;
Many Prices Increased
Investigations by City and State Do Not Stop Retailers
Advancing Prces-Coffee, Milk and Butter Higher
Other Articles Are Expected to Sell for More
Money in the Near Future.

A survey Of the food situation in
Omaha yesterday disclosed the fact
that during the last two weeks there
has been practically no reduction of
staple articles, while there have been
various increases, notably in coffee,
milk, and butter.
Lard, which fluctuates more or
less, is down a few cents, and the
same may be said of the CRASHED
or cheaper grades of beef.
Retail grocers and meat dealers
were frank to admit that there has
been no noticeable decline in the
prices of staples, and this is in
spite of the city councils PROBE"
started two weeks ago by Mayor
Smith, also the municipal stores. and
the state probe which is in progress.
A dealer stated yesterday that he
has been told that tea is going up.
During the last two weeks milk has
been raised from IS to II cents
quart, or 10 cents a pint when
bought for cash. A slight reduction
is made when patrons pay in ad-
vance for tickets.

range of prices prevailing yesterday

is freely discussed by the Mexico
City newspapers, according to in
formation reaching officials of the

one article appearing in the "A. B.

something of a sensation in the
southern republic
This article points out in detail
seven ways in which the United
States might intervene and discusses
each at length. The seven methods
enumerated are:
Complete invasion, which the pa
per admits would result in victory
Tor the United States.
Partial invasion by seizure of
frontier ports and customs houses,
which, it is said, would weaken the
oarranza government, cause a
'prea ding of the rebellion, disheart-
IN the constituencies and cause
'Carranza and his system to topple
ike a pack of cards."

MAY BE PHoEHcIAN COINS
Recent Discovery Made In California
Has Given Areheoiopists Some
Food for Thought.

Examination by Prof. Oliver N.
Washburn Of six coins discovered in
a canyon Of the foothills back Of
Berkeley. Cal, and described by him
as being of undoubted antiquity, has
stimulated the belief of archeolo-
gists that the ruins of an ancient city
exist in that locality. Antlquarians Of
the University Of California, where
Professor Washburn is assistant in the
department Of classical archaeology,
favor making excavations in an effort
to determine the existence of impor-
tant evidence as to the early history
Of this continent.
The coins were discovered by Ches-
ter X. Frost. an Oakland shipbuilder.
While on trip he was digging In the
canyon when he uncovered a mis-
shapen copper coin. He prosecuted
his work and was rewarded with I'VE
pieces Of copper. unquestionably mint
ed by hand. according to Professor
Washburn, and containing inscriptions
In Greek and Latin. Two Of the coins
are blackened beyond recognition by
the action of the elements. but through
their irregular shape and general mint
ing are described as antedating the
oldest known Roman coins.
The coins are family embossed with
the facial contours Of divInities or leg
endaries in tempered copper. Coin e1-
perts advance the opinion that the ma
terial used fixes a remote period Of
manufacture because tempered copper
in coin manufacture is more or less a
forgotten art.
One of the coins is about the size Of
a dime and bears certain resemblances
to early Phoeniclan money, which bore
the Characteristic enclosing Of a wOm-
ans head.
One version advanced is that the
Berkeley coins were brought to the
California coast by PhOenician colo
nists who preceded the early padres
to the bay district.

sure to be commonplace and unattrac-
