Salvation Army Officer Believes
Consumptives Might Be
Saved by Such Farm.

Capt. r. E. Bergren of the Salvation
Army told the journal last night of
four cases where the families are al
most utterly destitute. In one case.
Capt. Bergren said the man of the
family had been sick in bed for months
and was slowly dying of tuberculosis.
He agreed to pay the grocery and rent
bills and to aid in every he gould. In
another case it was the mother of the
family who was sick.
''I wish you might go with me to see
these cases. Capt. Bergren said. Then
you would know how terrible they are.
I wish we might have an open air farm
for these people. i know a place where
they would be happy andI would build
them a house there myself If / only
owned the land
Capt Bergren said he was going to
use part of the funds obtained in the
Home Service Appeal, May 10 to 20.
for the purpose of buying the land and
building material for such farm.
L will build the home myself, said
Captain Bergren, ''if there isn't enough

Washington. April 24.-The capture
by Mexican rebels of Guayamas and
also Tobolobampo was reported to-
night in official dispatches. Mazatlan,
in which a number of Americans are
is still holding out but it
is not believed it will be able to with
stand attacks long. American gunboats
were despatched to Mazatlan and
Topolobampo yesterday and it was
learned tonight request for them came
fortnight ago by consular agents.
While American cruisers were en-
route to rebel menaced ports in Mexico
today, there was lacking any indication
of an altered attitude of the United
States government. Officials of the
state and war departments continued
to watch developments in the new
Mexican situation with apparent
equanimity and unofficially it was de-
clared any move by the United States
was improbable unless made necessary
by the menacing of American lives.
Revolutionary forces under General
Arnufio G.mez and Mexican federal
troops under General Murgia are bait
Ting for possession of the Tampico
oil fields, according to dispatches re-
ceived by General Salvador Alvarado,
representative of the state of Sonora,
who is now in Washington.
1t was said that all available troops
were being rushed from the neighbor-
ing states of Nuevo Leon and Tamau-
lipas to aid Murgia who is reported
to be in dangerous position.
Official report of the activities of
Gomezs forces previously had been
received here.

Gr0cers Charged With Making
Greater Profit in Sale Sugar
Than Law Permits.
Calm MAKES STATEMENT
Insists That Profit He Made
Was One-Half of One Per
Cent on Specific Sale.

Fourteen retail grocers, most of them
proprietors of small, corner establish
ments were arrested by II. S. deputy
marshals yesterday afternoon on war
rants issued from the district attor-
ney's office charging them with viola
ton of the Lever food control act as
amended in 1919. The specific charges
were that the grocers had more than
the legal profit on sugar which was
retailed at % cents per pound.
Lazar Calm of Sol Calm g. Co. said
last night that the sugar which he sold
at 25 cents per pound cost him 21
cents per pound, wholesale, and exhib-
tied a bin of lading indicating the
wholesale price to be as he stated.
Mr.. Calm said that his cost of do
ing business last year was 15-1-2 per
cent. The gross profit on sugar bought
at 81 and sold at 20 cents per pound,
he said, was 16 per. cent, leaving him
a net profit on the sale of 1-2 of 1 per
cent. Other grocers were not reached
The grocers arrested were: Sol and

he had been obliged to sell at 20 cents.

Col. John L. Neeley. district attor-
ney. said last night that the arrest OF
grocers for violation of the Lever act
was but a beginning in a campaign
which was destined to be far-reaching.
He indicated that his agents had been
at work for weeks on all phases of the
high cost of living and that he would
be prepared to lay mass of figures
before the federal grand jury after
May 10. f
Il do not care to discuss the matter"
Mr.. Neeley is quoted as saying, II
prefer to leave the entire outcome of
the matter to the courts"
Action on sugar prices had been ex-
pected for some days. 1t was general
ly known that agents of the depart
ment of justice had been working in
the city and committee of the Retail
Merchants Association was appointed
to investigate independently whenever
anything of the kind took place. The
to the committee were to
find out the facts and if the retailer
was guilty to condemn him. On the
other hand the merchants will help TO
defend members who are believed to
be innocent.

CAPPER NAMES
PROFITEERS
In Strong Address Senator Sites
Proof and Dubs u. S. as
Robbers ROost.

washington, April 24-The United
States has become robbers roost
Senator Capper, Republican of Kansas
declared today in a prepared address
in the Senate in which he scored profi-
teering and declared that if law en-
forcement officers of the government
could not enforce the laws they should
resign 'and let men who can take their
places
Declaring the proof of profiteering
was in the margin of profit the sena-
tor said that in one year alone dur
ing the war the gross income of Amer
lean corporations rose from 50 1-3 bill
lions to 81 1-2 billions. He read to the
Senate a long list of corporations
whose profits We're placed at anywhere
.from 20 TO 200 per cent.
"Wall-st's. melon patches" he de-
clared, continue to be warmed by the
sun of privilege, fertilized by the per-
spiration of labor. and watered by the
tears of poverty, and this year will
raise a record breaking crop, free from
the blight of income taxes. while the
people are being urged to buy their
coal early and be robbed for less, to
abstain from steak one day a week and
to purchase war savings stamps that
the United States may live in nine bill
lion style or six billion income.
"At this moment the most brazen
challenge we have had in this satur-
MALTA of greed comes from the gambler
in sugar. A corner has evidently been
formed right under the eyes of the de-
partment of Justice. The canning sea-
son raid is on. For years the sugar in
terests have annually and openly and
shamelessly robbed American house
wives during the canning season.
After reviewing the activities of
flour sugar and cotton mills, and the
recent supreme court decision holding
stock dividends untaxable, and the de-
partment of Justices campaign urging
use of the cheaper cuts" of meat
which he condemned-Senator Capper
presented list of corporations whose
earnings, he said were proof of profi-
teering open, fragrant. scandalous."
These patriotic melon raisers who
have made their millions and billions
during and since the war, said Sena-
tor Capper now are urging that the
soldiers bonus be raised by a 1 cent
tax on sales to be pai don every dol
lar spent by every man, woman and
child in the country, including the ex-
service men themselves. Mr.. President
I shall favor placing this tax right
where it belongs-on war profits-and
taking from these huge stock divi-
dends, from excess war profits, and
from the profiteers all that is need
full to compensate the men who sacri-
feed themselves instead of their coun-
try or their countrymen, in time Of war.
