ANTI-PROFTTEERING
VERY EXPENSIVE
Convictions, In England Cost Over
1000 Pounds Each, 300 Com
mittees Tried 1885 Cases.

LONDON, Feb. l0-Twenty four con-
vietions obtained before the 300 anti
profiteering tribunals set up throughout
England have cost more than 1000
pounds each, it was declared by Captain
Wedgwood Benin in the house of com
mons during discussion of a proposal
to extend the profteering act for an
other period of six months
Captain Benin summarized the results
of the act during its first six months OF
life by stating:
Nineteen hundred committees have
been appointed; 1885 cases have been
heard-one case per committee; "a con
victions have been obtained; $4,000
pounds has been spent. And the cost oil
living has gone up"
Supporters of the bill argued that sh
months had not given the administrator.
of the law fair opportunity of demon
strating its worth.
| The proposed extension of six months
was voted.

MUCH SUFFERING
IN FRENCH FLOODS
Many People Imprisoned In Walled
Gardens-Householde Half
Starved

PARIS. Feb l0-The floods of 1920
were disaster almost equal to those
of 1910 for the riverside suburbs OF Paris.
Houses on the banks of the Seine and
Marine in the vicinity of Paris are built
in the middle of walled gardens and the
sudden rise of ID feet had the effect of
imprisoning the occupants for week.
Ordinary row boats could not pass
through garden gates. so some bcleag-
uered householders were provisioned by
canoes, but in many instances the cur
rent was too strong for these frail craft
The householders were half starved and
were only relieved by the subsistence OF
the waters.
The worst sufferers were the inhabi
tants of Maisons- Abort and Alfortville
, suburbs situated at the confluence o.
the Seine and Marine just above Paris
/ The ground there lies low and gets tn,

/ Most of the houses were flooded up t.

belongings.

but single representative in the lower
branch of the federal legislature
Practically all enumerators of the in
habitants of the rural districts report
that in their districts the populations
have decreased during the last 10 years;
and while in a few communities there
have been increases because of immigra
ton from Canada or as result of indus
trial booms, they have been far from
enough to offset the general exodus that
has taken place in the rural sections
since the beginning of the war.
In 1910 Vermont was teetering on the
edge of the numerical cliff and narrawly
averted the reduction of its congressman
from two to one Political experts are
now saying that the reduction is inevi-
table this wear. At one time when
congressional office was more important
than it is now, this state had four con
gressmen. Growth of the western states
caused a reduction.
Vermont has always been low sal
aried state and when the war began and
big wages were offered in Massachusetts,,
Connecticut and other places, workmen
began to 90 there The tide set in slowly
but friends of those leaving learned about
the big money being paid elsewhere and
| followed, with the result that even be-
| fore the United States went into the
war, the labor situation in Vermont was
| for the first time in the history of the
state acute Men could not be obtained
| for the woods and many industries were
obliged to operate on a curtalled scale
because of the lack of help. After the
war started the situation grew progress
sively worse. Director of Labor Simonds
at one time estimated that 40 per cent
of the female industrial help had left
| the state and the situation as regards
men was nearly as bad. The help in the
lcities of Vermont was obtained from the
/ farms Very few came from without
1 the state.
i Since that time there has been no
change in the situation. While many of
H those who went away a few years age
! have returned, the bulk has remained in
other states and the number which re-
turned has been more than offset by the
number which has gone since. There has
been a continual drain on Vermont's sup
ply of help since the war.

There are many such small towns il
Vermont which have less than a score o
voters, but all have their one member il

as the man from the city.

Some Believe None of Prom

DELEGATES WOULD

Active Candidates Not Likely to
Flock to Each Other-Poll In Iowa
Shows Lowden In the Lead-Spent
Young Manhood There.

BOSTON Feb. TO- "Hughes Z
Well. why not - asked prominent
Republican leader the other day, after
reading that in the poll of 1900 Cam
bridge Republicans the former supreme
court justice, and candidate for the
presidency in 1916, had run next to
Governor Coolidge and General Wood
The "why not?" query is pertinent.
The principal reason for the silence
that enshrouds Hughes is the unwil-
lingness of the man to engage in a
wild scramble for delegates or even to
permit his friends to conduct the dig
nified sort of campaign which Govern

the country with their own superior
qualifications. the public has little time
| for men who refuse to say anything
about themselves. And vet % per cent
| of the Cambridge Republicans who took
part in the poll picked Hughes as a
| first or second choice
But it will not do for the public to
| eliminate Hughes entirely from con.
| sideratiOn. Recent weeks have
strengthened the belief that none OF
the now prominent candidates will re.
oeive the nomination at Chicago, but
that some dark horse will loom up al
most on the eve of the convention Nc
| Wood man. for instance, will admit that
he has second choice, and the Woo
campaigners apparently intend to vot'
for their man right down to the fna
ballot Their reason is that the gener
al 5 qualifications far exceed those o
any other candidate
In the prolonged deadlock that may
| ensue, Wood men are not likely to shift
suddenly to Lowden, Harding or John
son. all of whom viii conduct aggres
sive campaigns, but might be more fay
orably disposed toward new and prom
ising candidate. Many of the delegate
will probably have served also i
the 1916 convention, and might vot
for Hughes as compromise if for II
other reason than to vindicate thei
Judgment of four years ago.

Other men received first or second
choice ballots in the following order;
Taft, Pershing, PoindeXter, Kenyon,
Hughes, Borah. LaFollette, Lodge, Root,
Cappcr, Cummins, Knox.
Lowden spent his young manhood in
Iowa, and the state almost looks upon
him as its favorite son, so much so that
the two senators, Kenyon and Cummins,
both of whom have entertained pres
idential ambitions, have been pushed
into the discard, The friends which
Wood made during his service at Camp
Funston. in the neighboring state 70
Kansas, account for his strong show
ing. According TO the Capital, most of

Sunday night in critical condition, both
