WITH FAMISHED ONES.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Three Atlanta
lawyers were exchanging a bit of
parisfage in an Office building lobby.
The talk somehow got around to the
subject of Intoxicating liquors. The
talk often turns in that direction
since the state went dry. A famished
traveller dying in the desert sees a
mirage that looks like fountains and
cool shade trees and a limpid pool.
When he dives into the pool he gets
his nose and mouth full of sand. Sim
ilarly the famisked Georgia citizen
longing for a drink is constantly the
prey of haunting recollections and
narrowing pictures of tall high balls
with cracked ice tinkling against the
glass.
They've got the finest prohibition
law in Oklahoma that has yet been
invented" said one of the lawyers.

INFLUENZA MAY WIPE OUT
ENTIRE TAHITI POPULATION
More Than One-Seventh of $4,000
Dead Month Ago Medical Sup
plies Long Ago Exhausted.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Threaten-
ed with extinction by influenza, the
population of the island of Tahiti. a
French possession in the Society Is
lands group in the Pacific, has waited
IN vain for word of the sending of
relief in response to repeated and
urgent wireless appeals sent since ear
ly in December.
In the past few days news dispatch
es have announced that the scourge
has run its course, but nevertheless
belated plans for aid are going for
ward.
More than one-seventh of Tahiti's
population of about 10000 inhabi-
tants was dead a month ago and the
older generation of natives virtual
ly wiped out.
On the island are two doctors, one
of whom is the American consul, DR..
Thomas B. L. Layton. Medical sup
plies long ago became exhausted. 1t
would take a vessel about six weeks
to reach Tahiti from San Francisco.

TELLS CONGRESS THAT FOOD
ADMINISTRATION WAS PACK
ED WITH AGENTS OF MEAT
MEN. PROFITS ENORMOUS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Francis j.
Heney, of San Francisco, who is chief
counsel for the federal trade commits
sion in its investigation of the meat
packing industry, told the senate ag-
riculture committee today that Swift
& Co. chad packed" the food admins
tration with "dollar-a-year men" who
received large salaries from the com
pany at the time they were serving
the government.
Mr.. Heney, who was appearing in
support of the Kendrick bill for gov
eminent regulation of the meat in
dustry, said Food Administrator
Hoover sought to stop him from max
ing public letters criticising retention
by the administration of w. J. Priebe
while the Latter still was in the en-
ploy of Swift & Co.
Appealed in Vain to President.
Mr. Hoover, according to the wit
ness, appealed to President Wilson,
saying that publication of the letters
was hindering the food conservation
campaign. Mr.. Heney said he was
recalled from Chicago, where he was
working on the commissions investi-
cation of the packers, and found on
his arrival here that the president
had advised the commission that he
had no instructions to offer, but hoped
that a head-on collision would be
avoided.
The witness said that Mr.. Priebe
had charge of fixing poultry prices
for the food administration and that
while so acting he received a regular
salary from Swift & Co., with a per-
centage of the income of Priebe &
Co. This company, Mr.. Heney said,
was owned by Swift & Co.
