There was "A general agreement that
in order that all the wheat producers
of the country should secure several
benefits that the various trades could
be bound by contracts to see that wheat
trading should be only on the guaran-
teed price, and, if a lower basis was
justified with the developments of
world factors, as the season advanced,
this lower basis should be made to reach
the consumer by trade agreements with
mil-ars and manufacturing facilities,

of congress.
in return for protection against

Some of the western delegates ex.
pressed the view that certain sections
of the producing wheat country which

PRESIDENT SPOKE AT TURIN
ON HIS LAST DAY In ITALY
FORMAL PROTEST MADE
Against Methods Used in the Recent
Milk Inquiry.

New York, Jan. Z. Formal protest
against the methods of Assistant District
Attorney Dooling in conducting the in
quiry before Chief Magistrate MeAdoo to
determine who is responsible for the
high cost of milk has been lodged with
Governor Smith by the Dairymen's league.
A copy of telegram sent to the govern
or was made public here to-day. 1t de-
clares Mr.. Dooling has made unsupport-
ed charges Of extravaganza against Off
GERS of the league and accused them of
"being insensible to the misery and suf
fering Of the ILL., MANNED, nursing children
and the poor"
Although the assistant district attor-
ney is supposed to be conducting an inn
partial examination into the situation,
the telegram added, "and although
branches Of the Dairymens league have
offered to donate milk to hospitals and
the poor, he has stated as fact the con-
clusion which this investigation has not
established, namely, that the object Of
our league is to destroy competition and
destroy the milk industry
1t is complained further that Mr.. Dool-
ing has made misstatements concerning
increases in salary to officers of the
league and repeated without verifcation
false reports Of dissension among our
members
The telegram concludes with the state
ment that the league desires all the facts
concerning the production of and distri-
button of milk be made public, but that
the league does not believe the facts can
be made public in an atmosphere tainted
with prejudice and violent partisanship
which public officials OF New York City
have shown"

MADOO LEAVES
RAILROAD WORK
He VIII Leave Washington Tonight for
Santa Barbara, Cal, for a Vaca-
ton Of Several Months.

Washington, p. c., Jan. This was
William G McAdoos last day in Wash
ington as director general of railroads
He planned to leave tonight for Santa
Barbara, Cal, for vacation of several
months.
Owing to President Wilson's delay in
naming a new director, Mr.. McAdoo will
continue to supervise the railroads. Rail
road wires will provide direct telegraphic
communication with railroad administra
tion headquarters in Washington and
with the offices Of the seven regional
directors. BY "traingram" system, doc
uments requiring his signature will be
transmitted daily between Santa Bar
bara and Washington.
The impression is growing in Washing
ton that the president may not appoint
new director general until he returns
to the United States next month, watch
ing meanwhile the reception by Con-
gress of the proposal to extend govern
ment control for five years.

BLOODSHED SEEMS
LIKELY IN BERLIN
Spartacus Group Is Engaged in Big Dem
onstration Against the Government
People Carrying Rifles.

Berlin, Jan. 6, /. p. m. Thy the Asso-
ciated Press The Spsrtacus group is
engaged to-day in big demonstration
against the government. Tens of thous-
ands of followers of DR. Karl Lieblnecht
have been parading Unter den Linden
and the neutrality-suspicious. and rs
this dispatch is filed are returning along
Inter den Linden. Up to this time no
shots have been fired.
The Wilhelmstrasse from Inter den
Linden to below the Leipsigstrasse is
packed full Of sympathizers, who have
been standing there for two hours. 1t
appears to be the governments strategy
to prevent the Spartacans demonstrat-
ing before the government offices
Hundreds Of youths and other civil
ians in the Saprtancan ranks arc carry
ing rifles Fist fighting has occurred at
the corner Of the Wilhelmstrasse and
Inter den Linden, where the bolshevik
demonstrators took away their oppo-
nent's standards. Spartacan soldiers
took stand in front of the Hotel AdIon
with their rifles ready, but there was no
firing.
The Spartancan rioters, except the
workmen from certain factories, com
prise the scum of the city and four tifths
Of the whole number are bedragged
women and young girls.
The American flag has been hoisted
over the hotel Adlon, where the Amer
ican officers belonging to the prisoner
and food commission are living.
The opinion seems general that only q
miracle can prevent bIoodshed before the
end of the day.
