FOOD REGULATIONS
 FAILED IN OBJECT
 SAYS ACCOUNTANT
By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--Food ad- ministration regulations neither regu- lated profits of the meat packers nor benefited the public or the consum- CTS, Stuart Chase. an expert account ant employed by the federal trade commission, told the senate agricul- tural committee today in presenting figures to show that profits of the five big packing concerns had doubled and trebled during the war.
 MT. Chase, who was testifying at hearings on the Kendrick bill provid- ing for government supervision of the meat industry, said no one knows ac- curately what the packers earnings are because their methods of book keeping have the effect of covering up their profits. He declared, however, that examinations by the commission of the books of Armour & Co.,, Morris & Co.,, Swift & Co.,, Wilson & Co.,, and the Cudahy company, showed their aggregate profits in 1912 were S1S.715,00O. and in 1917, s95, ,639, ,OOO
 Based on capital stock, MT. Chase said Morris & Co.'s profits in 1917 were 267.7 per cent and that on the same basis Armour & Co.'S profits in 1916 were HAP per cent. Because of a later increase in capital stock, the percentage for Armour & Co. dropped to 27.1 in 1917. Swift & Co.'S profits in 1917 on the same basis were 63 per cent, while those of the Cudahy com pany in 1917 were 23.2 per cent based on capital stock and surplus. Wilson & Co.'S earnings for the same year were 29.6 per cent on the combined capital and surplus.

 Premier RomanOnes. after a meeting of the Spanish cabinet to- day told the newspaper correspon- dents that he would not be sur prised at anything which would happen in Barcelona, which was quite abnormal.
 Count Romanones informed the cabinet that the trouble at Barce- Iona arose from the hostility of the nationalists to the military and the latter's refusal to tolerate nationalist disturbances. He said he had authorized the captain general of Barcelona to take meas ures to prevent collisions, be- cause such encounters would in the highest degree be prejudicial to solution of the Catalonian problem. The ministers accorded the premier a vote of confidence.
