PHOENIX, Aug. 15.-vPlans of cam paign against food hoarders. profi- teers and others contributing illegally to increasing the cost of living were drafted at a conference of federal of ficials in the state of Arizona here to- day.
 The campaign will begin immedi' ately, it was indicated, and will be pressed to the limit. The officers at tending included all special agents of the department of justice in Ari- Zona and two assistant United States district attorneys. United States Dis trict Attorney Thomas A. Flynn, pre- sided.
 Cooperation of every citizen was in vited in the campaign, all persons having knowledge of practices tend ing to raise food costs being urged to report the facts to the nearest federal officer Numerous complaints already received at the district attorneys of flee were discussed. As an instance of what these indicated MT. Flynn gave out the following:
 GA particular subject of inquiry will be held in the Miami mining dis trict where the retail price of butter was, immediately upon the announce ment of the increases in miners wages, enhanced from 56 cents a pound to 72 cents."
 Mir. Flynn, in a formal statement announced that he believed existing law, particularly the war time food control act, provided means adequate at least to some action, and that he proposed to invoke it wherever pos sible to bring to justice food hoard CTS and profiteers.

 Attorney Burges then stated that counsel for the defense had taken the liberty of preparing bonds for each of the defendants, with a few exceptions, and that the defendants were in court prepared to give such bond if the court granted their re- quest that their cases be continued to the superior court.
 Questioned by the court if he had any objection to this, the county at torney said he had none on earth" and added:

 Knowing the eminent counsel who represent the defendants, this is not unexpected by me. 1 expected them to do just what they have done and I am glad they have done it.

 Plan Wholesale Prosecutions WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Close CO operation between state authorities and the attorney general and his staff of assistants empowered to enforce the food control law, is being estab- lished as part of the governments s fight to reduce the cost of living. h. structions went out today from Attor- ney General Palmer to the two dis trict attorneys in Ohio to proceed inn mediately to assist Governor Cox in the seizure of large quantities of meat, butter and eggs, alleged to have been held in storage in that state for more than six to ten months, the legal limit.
 Criminal prosecutions will be insti- tuted, it was held If it can be shown that the foods were held from the market for the purpose of boosting prices. Officials here were inclined to think that the long period of stor- age indicated some other reason than an effort to spread the abundant sup plies of a producing season over the lean part of the year.
 Acting on a telegram late today from Governor Cox saying that a Cleveland concern in order to escape possible prosecution for hoarding was moving it's meat products to ware houses in Chicago and destroying its records, the department of justice or dered the district attorney at Cleve. land to look into the matter imme- diately.
 All attempts to effect transfer of goods in storage, officials said, would be summarily dealt with.
 Seizure of large stocks of food stuffs in storage continued today. Re ports were received of libels filed in Cleveland and Detroit, and prepara- tions for such action in many cities. The department was informed tonight that the district attorney at Detroit had filed libels in three cases and seized approximately 10,46O,000 eggs, and 100000 pounds of butter, all of which had been held in storage for some time
 Statistics announced by the bureau of markets, showing a great increase in the amount of food held in storage, were said by Judge Ames, assistant to the attorney general in charge in en- forcing the food control law, to bear out the departments contention that a prime reason for prices was the holding of supplies from the market.
 We are going to force these hoard CTS and pRofiteers to disgorge," Judge Ames declared, wherever they are found to hold greater amounts

Especial to The Review.l

DOUGLAS, Aug. +5.-Upon their own request 49 residents of the Warren dis trict were this morning in the local justice court bound over to the su perior court for trial on charges oi kidnapping, growing out of their al legged participation in the deporta. tions that followed the I. w. w. trou. ble at Bisbee two years ago. All of the defendants in the group. except. ing five who are at present out of the state, were present when their cases were bound over and their bonds of $2000 each, furnished when they were arrested several weeks ago, were renewed.
 Fifteen minutes before court open. ed Justice Jacks little court room was crowded with defendants, their friends and witnesses, and half a dog en extra chairs had to be placed in side the railing to accommodate the attorneys for the defense. If the spec ators expected to hear any sensa- donal arguments they were disap- pointed. Hardly had court been open ed when Attorney w H. Burges of Fl Paso. chief counsel for the defense. arose and made the following state ment for the 49 defendants:
 States Position of Defense.
 eff the court pleases: The taking of testimony in the first 49 cases has now occupied the attention of this court for the greater part of five weeks. The transcript of that testi- mony is more than 159O typewriter pages.
 "The consideration of that testi- mony to the end that exact justice be done each individual defendant, would impose an enormous amount of work on the court and probably, to no ultimate good.
 Tt is the deliberate judgment of all the counsel for the defendants that on the records which have been made, no final judgment could be rendered except judgments of not guilty.
 Counsel are aware, however, that under the law, no action or judg- ment of this court could foreclose other or further action by the county attorney.
 'It is of the utmost importance to the county and the state and to all the people therefore as well as to these defendants, that an end, and the right and just end, should come to- this liti- gation, and that as promptly as is practical.

 The committee has not yet reached the top of the hill in its big task of hearing proponents of all plans and of reporting out a bill.

 RAT|FY TREATY
Twenty Republicans Added to Democrats Will Pass With Reservations; White House
 Is Still Against Any Changes

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Negotia- tions between Democratic and Repub- lican senators looking to ratification of the peace treaty with reservations reached a more definite stage today, while President Wilson and the for eign relations committee were getting together on unprecedented measures to give the public all details of their discussion of the treaty next Tuesday at the White House.
 Democratic leaders, feeling out sen timent on the Republican side, were told that the treaty never could be ratified without qualifications, but that more than 20 Republicans want ed to see it accepted in the near fu- ture, with reservations along the line of those agreed on by seven sen ators of that party some days ago.
 Poll Shows Sufficient Strength.
 This information came from mem bers of the group of seven after com pletion of poll begun Wednesday on receipt of the first Democratic ov- ertures. The 20 needed by the Demo crats to make the necessary ratifica- tions majority of 64, had not accepted the proposed reservations program in exact form, it was asserted, but had given their assent to it's general pro- visions.
 Senator Hitchcock, the Democratic leader, went to the White House and is understood to have laid the whole senate situation before the president. He made no formal announcement after the conference but indicated that the administration stand for unreserved notifications remained un- changed. Some of the, seven reserva- tion Republicans, however, insist that they have had information assur- ing Democratic assent to their pro- gram.
 Lodge Has Yet Another Plan.
 A new draft of reservations was shown to several Republicans during the day by Senator Lodge, the Repub- lican leader. It is understood to cover the four points embraced in the pro- gram agreed on by the seven senators and includes also a provision that ap- pointment of the american represen- tative on the league of nations coun- cil must have senate approval. The
 
 Monroe doctrine, withdrawal from membership, jurisdiction over purely domestic questions, and the right ot congress to declare war under article ten of the league covenant.
 Plans for the White House confer ence Tuesday were virtually complet- ed during the day, with an agreement that both White House and commit tee stenographers should be present and that a transcript of the discus sions should be issued to the press. Chairman Lodge also gave his assent to the presence of newspaper core spondents at the meeting, but said this was also question for the presf- dent to decide. The proposal that stenographers be present came from the president in reply to a request that the committee members should not be restrained to secrecy about the discussions.
