Meredith, Acting on Ship
pers' Complaint, An
nounces New Schedules.

Secretary of Agriculture Mere
dith, acting on complaint of ship
pers of livestock, that excessive
rates were being charged by COM
mission men to discourage Coop
erative marketing. yesterday re-
voked the present rate and estab-
lished a new schedule to be effec-
tive after August 16.
Meredith stated the action was
taken because the commission men
were charging from IS to 81 more
for car lots having more than one
owner. The rate established by this
order permits a charge of $50 more
for car lots having more than
twenty owners.
The complaint was made by. the
American Society of Equity, it was
stated. which charges that Chicago
Livestock Exchange members are
required by the commission men to
exact the highet' rate.

Uncle Sam has given the express

meaning in the Census Bureau. where
speed records are announced in tab

Robert r. Green and Raymond L.

Each of the 80 readings of these
cards shows the total number of

results show not only the degree
to which deaths are concentrated at
certain ages, but also the time of
the year that they were most preva-
lent in the city for which figures
were reported.

NAVY ABANDONS.
OIL SEIZURES
Completes Contracts for
Purchase Of Liquid Fuel
For Pacific Fleet.
(By Universal servieeo

Secretary of the Navy Daniels
yesterday announced completion OF
contracts providing for purchase of
80 per cent of the Pacific fleet fuel
oil requirements. thereby ending the
practice of backing warships into
west coast ports and commander
ing the necessary oil and gasoline.
Since July, 1917, the commander
ing method of protecting the pc
troleum needs of the Pacific fleet
have been employed despite the
vociferous protests of the Western
fuel oil companies. 1t had been i'm
possible for the Navy to get any
appreciable part of the oil required
in any other manner.
Navy Sought Bids.
Recently the oil companies an
nounced their willingness to con-
tract to-furnish the supplies.
The result was that bids were
sought On fuel oil the bids ranged
from 81 to s2.35 per barrel for a
period of three months "a much
lower price than that figuring in
past controversies over fuel for the
fleet Through the different bidders
almost all OF the navy's require
ments on fuel were met.
On gasoline two bids were re-
ceiyed, one offering to supply 100, 900
gallons over a period of six months
at ? cents under the prevailing
market price at the time of delivery.
On diesel oil one company offered
10 furnish 25 per cent OF the guam
tity desired at market price, while
another stipulated a basic price of
s2.94 per barrel.
Secretary Daniels Satisfied.
Referring to the new fuelinE ar
rangement Secretary Daniels said:
The contracts in question follow
the desire of the navy to return to
the practice OF obtaining it's sup
plies through competitive bidding,
and, in the case OF those companies
which have now found ii possible
to enter into contracts, a mutually
satisfactory basis of settlement for
past deliveries has been arrived at.
Only one company has not as yet
seen fit to accept the navys propo-
sitiOn and negotiations with that
company have not been closed"

SOVIET STARTS PARLEY
FOR RUMANIAN PEACE

Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE Soviet gov
ernment at Moscow has taken the
initiative in again bringing about
peace negotiations with Rumania.
The previous negotiations were
broken off in March.
In a radiogram to Take Jonescu,
Rumanian minister of foreign af-
fairs, Foreign Minister Tschitcherin
of the Soviet government. says that
he has just learned that the Ru-
manian government believes the So
viets broke off the exchange of
radiograms in March on the sub
ject of getting together to discuss
peace.
NJ. Tchitcherin says there must
be a mistake as the Moscow govern
ment sent the last radio and did not
