MANY SENATORS Who
OPPOSED FAMINE FUND.
DEFEATED WHEN BILL IS
PASSED YESTERDAY PM
OPPOSITION UpHOLDS U. S. CONSUMER
Omitted Press service.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-This
afternoon the Senate passed the fam
inc food bill by vote of So to 18
Despite the most strenuous opposi-
tion of senators who desired defeat
of the measure the vote stood al
most three to one, most decisive
settlement.
The bill is an administration meas
ure, and it's enactment was urged by
President Wilson in a cablegram from
Paris. Other powerful influences
were exerted toward its enactment.
All those in Europe urging it gave
assurance of the urgent need of the
measure. President Wilson cabled
that the food the appropriation will
provide will kaea down anarchy
throughout Europe and keep the
peace until the crop of 1919 can be
gathered and the people fed from
the agricultural resources of their
own countries.

MURDERS CHILDREN


SIOUX FALLS, Iowa, Jan. a.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Sena-
tors who are opposing the hundred
million dollar famine fund bill are
charging that it is in the interest not
only Of the big packing houses, but of
all food producers in the United
States, who believe that food prices
throughout the country will go down
Immediately unless something is
done to prevent. One hundred mil
lions of dollars worth of foodstuffs
sent to Europe would tend to stay
the decline for time. But the OPP
posing senator's make assertion of a
belief that the time has come to
give the American consumer n
chance. He has denied himself, and
gone, on short commons to win the
war, submitting at the same time
to extortion and imposition of all
kinds, while food producers have
reaped harvests. Now, say those
senators, let prices decline so the
hungry people of America may have
not only a sufficiency, but at rea-
sonable prices.
A movement to talk to death the
hundred million dollar famine appro-
priation bill has developed in the
Senate. Administration leaders are
frankly undecided what tactics to
adopt to face the fillibuster.
A majority of the senators arc
doubtful concerning the measure It
has been declared that Hoover does
not deny the charge that he had Gre
ated market for the packers pro-
ducts, but he has admitted the fact
However no one charges Mr.. Hoover
with improper motives; but there is
feeling that the famine bill is not
SO much designed to feed starving
europeans as to fulfill the food adj
ministration's agreements with pack
ers and hog raisers.

trolled by the Park Department "in

airy street attire"
This means that persons living In

their rooms and go TO tho beach
through any street but West Eighth
Street, which is from half a mile to
a mile out Of the way for most Of
