BOY TWICE DODGES
ARMY; SURRENDERS

When Elmer Norris Windsor, who
has just turned eighteen years old
enlisted in the Army, little more
than a year ago, he slipped under the
ropes" as far as his age was concern
ed, and passed for youth older than
he actually is. And he soon found that
Army life is hard life for man, not
to mention a boy. So Elmer stood it
for while, like the man he tried to
be, then went absent without leave,
or "a. w. o. L. as they term it in the
Army.
He lives just over the District line. at
Capitol Heights, in Maryland. and it
wasn't long before his friends there
found he was unlawfully absenting
himself from the Army and persuaded
him to return to Camp Meade. Upon
reporting back he was given pre-
liminary hearing and duly confined in
the stockade to await trial.
Sunday night he managed to escape
the guard, quietly make his way out
of camp and return to the farm which
isl his home. The day following he
made his presence known to neigh
bors, and one of them, Mr.. McAfee,
had a talk with him and pointed out
the dangers which lie in wait for
deSerter from the United States Army.
So this morning, accompanied by Mr..
McAfee, Elmer made his way to the
War Department and asked to see the
Secretary of War. He was shown into
the Office of Mr.. Durham, the Secre-
tary's confidential clerk, and there he
told his story.
Army rules are strict. especially
where would-be deserters are con-
cerned. So after little advice from
Mr. Durham, the boy was turned over
to a guard and sent back to Camp
Meade He's in the Stockade again to-
day, but when his case comes to trial
the fact that he surrendered him
self, instead of avoiding arrest, will
count in his favor, as will his youth.

UNIFIED OPERATION
Of ALL RAILROADS
DUPONT |. c. C.
Clifford Thorne Of Chicago,
for Shippers, Tells of Rail
Income.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion was asked today by Clifford
| Thorne of Chicago. representing ship
| pers, to recommend unified operation
of the railroads under some plan
analogous to that created by the rail-
! roads in 1917"
'In that way, and in that way only,
will the carriers be able to function"
he said.
While government operation has
been condemned by both railroads
and shippers as an extravagant and
costly burden, Mr.. Thorne said that
within three months after the return
of the roads to private control they
had fallen down in operation.
Roads Came Begging.
"And they are here begging for the
most stupendous rate increase ever
known in this or any other country
on the face of the EARTH" Nj. Thorne
declared. Further, they state that
they have reached a place in their
operations which might be called a
condition of 'saturation,' where more
business means a loss in net revenue
instead of a gain. That is the most
astounding confession of inefficiency
that l ever have heard from the lips
of railroad man in recent years.
Private operation is on trial, Mr..
Thorne argued, and if the roads do
not function the people will be forced
to take them back, although they do
not wish to do so.
Whatever the trouble confronting
the carriers. whether it be the labor
situation, shortage of equipment or
other difficulties, the remedy pro-
posed is invariably an increase in
rates, Mr.. Thorne said.
Prosperous Three Years.
The contradicted evidence in this
case" he added, shows that during
the last three years of private opera
ton under the supervision of this
commission and over forty state COM
missions, the railroads of the United
States were experiencing the most
prosperous three-year period in their
history, since railroads accounts have
been kept for the United States as
whole.
This record shows that during the
and also the total net income above
all operating expenses and taxes were
greater than during any other three
year period in their history; and that
total book cost or so-called property
investments was the greatest in their
history"
Rates Asked Too High.
Arguing that the rate increases de-
manded by the carriers are entirely
too high, Mr.. Thorne said:
IF you folks want to sound the
death knell to private operation, grant
these demands in their entirety, and,
after you have done that, then please
watch the effect on American indus

WILSON DEFEAT
IS SEEN IN OLD

Though President Never 0p-

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

SAN FRANCISCO. July g. Divided

Cox is triumphant. Palmer and Nc
Adoo are beaten.
Ihus falls the house of Wilson in
the great battle between the old
democratic organization, which was
defeated at Baltimore in 1912. but
which took sweet revenge in 1920 by

mlnlstration in the last eight years.
and who will. therefore, not inherit
as much of the resentment against
the Wilson cabinet as the two others
might nave before the electorate next
autumn.
IT was within the power of the
Wilson administration to nominate
either Palmer or McAdoo or some one
else who had been part of the Pres
ident's official family But Mr.. Wilson
literally kept hands off, and his two
exponentS, Palmer and McAdoo, suf-
fered from poor leadership and mex
perienced management. A coalition of
Palmer and McAdoo forces early in
the convention would have defeated
Cox.

When Palmer released his delegates
the moment for such coalition had
passed The convention had grown
SO weary that the Cox managers knew
they had but to hold out and win
their battle on the basis of fatigued
body of delegates. Today the Nc
Adoo and Palmer men are unhappy.
The defeated always feel that way
But just as the disappointed friends
of Lowden, Wood and Johnson gave
one thought only to the prospect of
perpetuating the Wilson rule, SO the
democrats here compare Cox and
Harding and say that as between the
two they can make but one choice.

who compared Cox with the son-in-
law argument which the republicans
were sure to use about McAdoo. Yes,
it was, the son-in-law relationship
that defeated McAdoo and set aside
all consideration of his executive
ability, and it was the nomination of
Harding at Chicago which gave Cox
its impetus here.
Cox Isn't Anti Wilson.

ICE SUPPLY Of D. c.
ENOUGH TO MEET
SUMMER DEMAND

No ice shortage will threaten
Washington this summer, barring
disaster. in the opinion of Health
Officer Fowler for the District.
The health ONCE compiled statistics
several months ago to reveal the
capacity of plants and the possibil-
tiles for shortage. The reports were
characterized as satisfactorily en-
couraging."
The ice plants of Washington. as
the result of additions, are now
manufacturing approximately 365 tons
per day more than at this time last year,
according to estimates.
The American Ice Company alone,
through additions and the building
of a new plant, has increased its
which, as early as May l. 30,5O0 tons
of ice were stored. The increase
in manufacturing capacity per day
is estimated at 200 tons.
Ready for Hot Weather.
The Carry Ice Company, with a ca
pacity of 5000 tons storage space,
had filled it's warehouses by April 1,
and is now declared to be well stock
ed for a battle with torrid weather.
capacity per day by so tons.
The Washington Market Company,
with a 12,000-ton storage capacity,
has increased it's output per day IS
tons over last year, while Chaplin g.
Sacks, with 9,000-ton storage ca
pscity, is now manufacturing 40 tons
per day more than in 1919.
Heurich'S has not increased manu-
featuring capacity, it was stated, but
has a storage of $4,000 tons. The
Home Ice Company, with a 500-ton
storage capacity, has increased it's
output daily. by 80 tons over last
pany, with virtually no storage Ca
pacity, has a daily output capacity of
35 tons.
10000 Tons Reserve.
Washington, therefore, should have
a total reserve stock of 5000 tons of
stored ice. in addition to the manu-
factured daily output, which has also
been increased by the 365 tons al
crease average only 800 tons for
crease itself will amount to $4,000
tons alone, giving total reserve
supply, including stored ice and in
creased manufacture daily, of $4,000
tons, or a bit less than one-fourth of
a ton per inha abitant for the summer.
This would mean at least 500 pounds,
for 100 days at the outside, or ap-
pounds per day per in
habitant in reserve.
Figured on this basis. the health
office believes that Washington
should not fear greatly any repetition

PUNCTUATION IN PRICE OF DRESSED BEEF

Among the principal disturbing influences described are periodical releases by the war department of surplus stocks of beef in an effort to reduce living costs, higher stocker and feeder markets, high priced feeds. fruition of producers efforts to in crease cattle production for war needs and anticipated foreign demands. labor troubles. decreased transportation facili- ties embargoes, unsettled foreign credit and exchange conditions, decrease in beef exports. financial credit restrictions, de- clines in prices of hides, tallow, and other animal by-products, and decreased or spasmodic consumption of meat.
 In fact, the report says. every possible economic factor incidental to a period of reconstruction and capable of disturbing market conditions for these products ot the farm and range had free and almost unlimited action.
 Prices of livestock in the Chicago mar ket and those paid for dressed carcasses as taken from New York quotations from ten days to two weeks after the live cattle transactions also showed wide fiuctua-

tions, the report asserts. The difference of $2.25 per hundred pounds between prices for good beef steers and the corre- spending grade of dressed carcasses in January was widened until it stood at s14.50 during the closing days of June. For the same period the difference be- tween the low price of medium steers on the hoof and in the carcass had advanced from $6.25 to $12.75.
 A comparison of live cattle prices and prices on relative grades of dressed meats on Jan. ? and June 30 this year with those of corresponding dates last year shows the top price for good beef steers at the beginning of this year at s1S.75 and at the end of June as $1650, with the opening top price on dressed beef from such steers at $21 and the close at $31. On Jan. 2, 1919, live prices for the same grade were up to $17.75 and at the end of six months the top stood at $14,60 decline of $3.15.
