HARVEY TO Blame
Negro Troops Should Have
Been Given Stop Here.
That Is What Officers at Funs-
ton Assert.

There was absolutely no reason why
the troops of the SO5th pioneer infan-
try of the 92nd division should have
been hurried to Camp Funston. ac-
cording to statements made by Camp
Funston officers to Mayor Corwine
and the committee which called upon
them the Fourth. Camp Funston was
given over to celebration of the Fourth
OF July Friday, and not a single step
towards discharging the men of the
S05th was taken or even contemplated.
There was no trouble encountered
by the mayor and the committee in
eliciting this information from the Of
ricers in charge of the camp. The
committee had gone there to find out
Just why the s05th had been rushed
thru Topeka without even a moment
stop, when reception had been pre-
pared for the men. The committee
also wanted to know by what author
ity Capt. Arthur Harvey, in command
of the troopers, deliberately disobeyed
what are thought to be the orders of
the war department that the train
stop in Topeka.
When the committee waited on Cap
tain Harvey, that gentleman tried very
hard to pass the buck to the railroad
officials by saying that the train had
gone thru for the reason that the rail-
road had not issued orders for a stop
here.
But the committee had already seen
the train conductor. who had volun-
teered the information that the train
was run on Captain Harvey's personal
orders as far as stops were concerned
and that all the railroad did was fur
nish running and passing orders.
The officers at Camp Funston have
promised that an investigation will be
made, and the word has gone out from
the governors office that the investi-

weekly Grain ana Provisions.

Chicago. July Corn prices have aimed
at the zenith this week, influenced largely
by the fact that the value Of hogs rose
again and again above all previous records
Compared with a week ago corn Quotations
today are s15c, to 9l5e UP, oats have Sained
lie to 2Isc and provisions soc TO $2.40.
Altho the effect Of the signing OF the
peace treaty seemed at first to have been
fully discounted by the corn trade, It soon
became evident that one Of the most vital
aspects was still TO be dealt with. lndica-
lions that 'xport business in, provisions
would be enlarged were quickly reflected
by urgent demand for hogs. a demand
which in turn lifted sharply the cost OF
corn. Besides. rainless, hot weather was
a source of anxiety, while Mt the same time.
broadening out of European demand seem
ed to have virtually put out of question
any likelihood of big shipments of corn
to the United States from Argentina.
Feverish buying of corn here was the re-
suit until holidays forced a stop.
An unlocked for increase of the visible
supply prevented oats from sympathizing
more with the advance of corn.
Jumps in provisions were in response to
the export outlook and to the record smash
ing behavior Of the hog market.

BIC BEEF HOLDUP
Profiteering by Packers and
Meat Retailers Is Shown.
Consumer Is Hit-Report De.
manded by Congressman.

Washington, July 5.-Profiteering
on a huge scale in meats, both by
packers and retail dealers, at the ex-
pense of the consumer is shown in a
statement, giving comparison of cat
tie prices with meat prices to the
housewife, made public by the depart
ment Of agriculture.
while cattle prices have been drop
ping off until they have reached a
point that the cattle raisers and feed
ers are threatened with ruin. the de-
partment, after its investigation, finds
that very little decrease has been made
to the consumer in prices. The only
thing that can save the cattle situa-
ton and prevent a serious blow to the
entire industry is for the people of the
United States TO eat more beef and end
all restrictions" the statement says.
At the same time ii points out that
prices are out of reach of many fam
lilies and this in turn checks consump-
ton.
Wants Laws to Regulate.
The remedy the department sug-
gests is for quick enactment of laws
giving the department full authority
the public informed daily as to what
meat should sell for, thus in the hope
that public opinion would force prices
down in reason. or, at least, to the
basis of the price paid for cattle.
While this would hold the packers in
line, the department suggests the
states must have legislation in turn to
keep a check on the prices charged by
the retailers. In fact the figures
shown by the departments report to-
day disclose that the retail dealers are
worse profiteers in the present in
fha r,ackere The denarf :
ment recommends that all restriction
placards and conservation placards be
taken down in hotels and pubic
places, and the public encouraged to
eat as much beef and lamb as It's purse
can afford to buy.
The report is made at the instance
of Kansas senators and members OF
Congress following the meeting held
in Kansas City by the live stock in
terests there. In fact. it largely
grows out of the agitation against the
present situation coming from Kansas
City. 1t is expected the first result
Of the startling figures shown by the
report will be to bring the packer reg
ulation bills to the fore in Congress
and result in immediate action on
them. While they may tend to cor
rect the wholesale situation they will
not cover profiteering by retail deal
ers. That evidently will have to be
corrected by local pressure and ex-
posture.
Calls It a Grave Problem.
with the meat prices to the con-
sumner so high that he is denying him
self. and with prices for livestock, es-
pecially beef and lambs, so low to the
producer that he is actually losing
money. the nation is confronted with
a grave problem which requires solu-
ton if we are not to suffer a decline
in the livestock industry" the report
says. at is an anomalous situation.
