duct of the marine forces occupying the
island republic.
In announcing receipt of the telegram
to-day Mr.. Daniels said he had no Off
cial advices that the board, which is
headed by Rear Admiral Mayo, war
time commander of the Atlantic fleet,
had left Hayti. He added. however,
that the Navy Department had been in
formed that the converted yacht Nj
agara. on which the board went to Port
au Prince, has gone to Guantanamo
en- route to the United States and that
he presumed the Mayo board was on
the vessel.
Upon receipt OF the telegram the Naval
Secretary Immediately instructed Rear
Admiral, Knapp. who represents both the
State and Navy departments In Hayti,
to conduct an informal hearing at which
witnesses who did not appear before the
Mayo board might testify Should this
testimony warrant such action the Sec
retary said he would order the Mayo
board back to Hayti or convene a new
board.
Mr.. Daniels explained that the Mayo
board was not empowered to inquire into
the matter relating to diplomatic and
financial affairs in the island republic
and had refused to hear many witnesses
who desired to testify regarding these
matters. Whether these were the wit
nesses the citizens of Hayti' wished
to have heard was not made clear.
Cadus Belgarde was ordered released
by the Judge Advocate General Of the
Navy, it was said to-day at the Navy
Department, because the military court
had no jurisdiction in the case.

HOGS ON HOOF BACK
TO PRE-WAR PRICE
Beef Also on Downward Path
IN Wholesale Rates.
81 The Associated Press,

EU Tle ASSoct4tet FreSS.
CHICAGO. Dec 2.-Hogs ON theN hoof
have returned to what is practically
their 1919 pre-war price. judging from
figures obtained to-day from one of the
big Five" packers. Pork and pork
products at wholesale are on their way
toward that same level. The monthly
report of the Institute OF American Meat
Packers indicates they have reached the
scale prevailing in April. 1917. when the
United States entered the war.
Beef also is on the downward PATH
the wholesale price OF carcass beef hav-
ing dropped II per cent since Septem-
Der 1, according to the Institutes figures
The biggest drop recorded, however. Is
in live hogs. The packing house figures
show pork on the hoof brought cents
a pound in November, 1913. During the
wpr the farmer had virtually guaran-
tee of minimum average Of II u cents.
In July. 1919. the price reached 23 cents
a pound. To-day hogs are back around
10A cents.
Retail prices, however, have not kept
pace with the falling wholesale market,
the packing house official said, but he de-
clined to be quoted directly on the
ground that retailers might boycott his
company
Quotations from two retail dealers.
one whose store is cassed as q high
price establishment and the other as a
cut rate market, show wide divergence
in prices, partly due. both said. to
difference in the grade of meat handled.
Figures furnished by the packers and
the two stores show the following range
between the packing house wholesale:

Washington, ID. c.. Dec. 2.
Meat prices in the United States
continue a sharp decline. and pork is
cheaper than it was in April, 1917, be-
fore the United States entered the
war, according TO a price analysis
made public to-day by the American
Institute of Meat Packers. The anal
ysis states:
The wholesale prices of carcass
beef during the last week in Novem-
Der was about 9 per cent. lower than
on October / and II per cent. lower
than on September 1, 1920.
Although pr.ces of meat and live
stock showed substantial declines long
before the downward trend in other COM
modities, the per cent. and current de-
clines in general commodity values have
affected further the quotations for meat
and live stock. These declines are an
especial misfortune for producers whose
meat animals were raised ON relatively
higher priced materials
During November the wholesale price
OF light pork loins declined about 81
per cent. The wholesale price Of these
loins on November 90 was about As per
cent. lower than on October l. last.
Other declines on November 30. COM
pared with October /. 1920 are about as
