HOW COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
HAS 1T FIGURED OUT

Washington, Aug. 31.-High costs
of living which the government now
is seeking to combat are due primar-
tly to thecurtailment in the produc-
ton of nearly all commodities, hoard
ding, profiteering, and initiation of
currency, the Council of National
Defense said in an exhaustive re-
port sent to Congress. The report
was made public today through Sec
retary Baker, chairman of the coun-
Gil
Suggestions of the council for
meeting the situation include sitm-
ulation of production; repression,
of boarding and profiteering; i'm
provement in the methods Of distri-
button and marketing and the dis
semination of more exact news con-
cerning probable future national
requirements.
The distinction. between apparent
prosperity, which is expressed in term
of dollars and real prosperity, which
is expressed in terms of production,
was made clear. The high cost
of food was ascribed not to a short
age, since on the whole, the nation
is producing more than in pre-war
days, but to the abundance of cir
culating medium. Relief of the food
situation was predicted.

THE WHOLE
WAGE QUESTION
Will Be Placed on a New Foot
ing AS Between Capital
And Labor.
SAYS PRESIDENT WILSON.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 81
President. Wilson in Labor Day
message to American workers an
nounces that he would call in the
near future a conference of represen-
tatives of labor and industry g to
discuss fundamental means of bet
tering the whole relationship of
capital and labor and putting the
whole question of wages upon ano-
ther footing"
The President said he was encour-
aged and pleased with the results
thus far of the governments ef-
forts to bring down the cost of liv-
ing and expressed confidence that
substantial results would be achiev-
ed in the solving of this problem.
Patience >and viligence, however,
governments efforts must have the
cooperation of every citizen.
Presumably referring to the exist
ing labor unrest and threats of
strikes, the President appealed to
every citizen to refrain from doing
anything that would tend to in
crease the cost of living but instead
to do all possible to promote prod
uction.
The President expressed particu-
lar qualification at the attitude ta-
ken by the representatives of organ
lied labor in supporting the govern
ment's program to meet the re-
quests for additional wages through
a lowering of living costs and said
he hopetd that; the workers them
selves would "move with the gov
ernment instead of against it in the
solution of this great domestic prob
lem" l.

SLAYER OF
ROBIN COOPER
WILL SOON BE APPREHEN-
DED SAYS THE CHIEF OF
POLICE. WHILE AUTHOR
tiles ARE NOT DISCLOS-
ING INFORMATION THEY
BELIEVE AN INTIMATE
FRIEND is RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE MURDER.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. Robin
slayer of Senator Edward w. Car
mack in 1908 whose body was
found in Richland Jreek after miss
ing two days was IL. led by TWO or
more men, who WITH be shortly ap-
pretended according to statement
made by hief of Police Barthell.
The theory on which this presump-
tion has been reached is based upon
the fact that there was no woman in
te case as suggested, and the sug-
gested connection of boot leggers
with the murder has also been run
down. Every man suspected of haV-
ing anything to do with the case in
this connection has been eamined
and his Whereabouts on the day that
Cooper disappeared has been ascer-
tanned.
The mater has been sifted down to
a personal friend or friends as
guilty of the crime. The fact that
he was called from his home in the
night and was heard to remark, "if
you wanted more you could have
gotten it, is taken to mean that the
ten thousand dollars borrowed by
Cooper on the day before the night
he disappeared leaves the impression
that he secured this money for
friend and that his death was to
cover up the loan.
A Servant girl named Maud Per-
kins employed in the Cooper home
testified that about nine O'Clock
Thursday night some one called Mr..
Cooper to the front porch, and tnat
she saw the party standing in the
shadows in the yard. He did not
come on the front porch, but went
with Mr.. Cooper to the garage and
to the latters automobile They
left the place and he was not seen
again until the body was discover
ed.
