real estate dealer. Thomas was In charge
OF the Y. NJ c. A. dugout at Raoule-

Thomas was the only witness called.

Untermyer wanted to know where the
money came from.
Let US see If Buffalo has not been
'buffaloed.' " he said isn't It fact,
the lawyer asked. that the reason
these three companies allowed the
Queen City Brick Company to fix the
price that they were to get for their
brick was because they had agreed,
when the Queen City Brick Company
was organized, on the proportions In
which that stock should be held, and
the profits and the sales divided?"
The witness replied that he did not
know.
what other inducement could there
possibly have been for three manufactur-
ers of brick forming an agency to sell
their brick and letting the agency fix
the price they should get, and fix the
proportions that should be sold and the
way the orders should be divided--can
you imagineY
'To lessen the cost of selling and re
duce the price to minimum"
That's a new arrangement, isn't it?'
Mr.. Untermyer pursued.
"I think So
THAT confirms, doesn't 1t, what you
said before, that this Queen City Brick
Company was simply conduit or cover
under which theSe tnree coicefAS WeIe
able to get together and avoid competi-
tion and divide the business between
them: that's about 1t. isn't it?"
That's about it." the witness admit
ted.
The significant feature of the first
DAYS investigation into the building sltu-
alton here Mr.. Untermyer thinks is re-
f1ected in the disinclination OF the eight
witnesses who refused to waive Inn
munity. 1t developed that the legal
adviser of most of these is Edward X.
O'Malley, former Attorney. General Mr.
O'Maley attempted to interpose an OBJ
lection to Mr.. Untermyer's preliminary
examination of Mr.. Gastel. but was told
by the investigator that counsel was not
recognized in this proceeding"
Other witnesses testified that Bunalo
is short at least 5000 houses at the pres
ent time that the shortage is the result
of maintenance Of high prices by the
building material dealers, who, through
combinations and price fixing arrange
ments. have held to an advance OF about
500 per cent over 1915 prices. while labor
generally has benefited only about 40
per cent. In this latter respect the situ-
alton here seems in marked contrast with
that In New York.
There is nothing remotely resembling
Brindelrs building trades council ana
Buffalo, generally speaking, is operating

Special Despatch to THE New YoRK HERALD
BUFFALO. June 14.-Issuance tonight
of forty or fifty additional subp9nas
to men connected with the building
industry here was Samuel Untermyer's
counter move after eight Of the most
prominent business men had declined
to waive immunity, and temporarily
were excused from testifying before
the Lockwood legislative committee in
its investigation of local conditions
The arrival of Senator Charles c..
Lockwood and Mr.. Untermyer, to-
gether with the other members Of the
legislative housing commission has
created local sensation. The meeting
room OF the Board of Supervisors in
City Hall was crowded to capacity
when the commission got into action
this afternoon.
Some have 1t that Senator Lockwood
is responding to certain political senti-
nlent with a view to his own advance
ment in State or New York city politics.
Another suggestion Is that Mr.. Untermyer
might be considering his own availability
for the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator to succeed Will
lam NJ. Calder.
Altogether the committees investiga-
tions have discovered evidence indicating
the existence OF about twenty-five COM
binations of dealers handling building
material, and apparently operating much
along the lines exposed in New York.
The affairs of the Queen City Brick
Company were the first to be gone into
and the witnesses declined to waive in
demnity without advice of counsel. They
were directed to obtain the necessary
advice and report tomorrow

The Queen City Brick Company, Mr..
Untermyer suspects, is only a cloak un-

yards, control the market, fix prices and
distribute business. It's affairs were re-

Washington, June "a personal
investigation of conditions in the
army air service and of differences
said to exist between Major General
Menoher, chief of the service, and
his assistant, Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell, will be conducted by Secs
retary Weeks. Announcement to
this effect was made today after the
relief Of General Mitchell from bis
present assignment had been request
ed in writing by Geae:al Menoher.
Secretary Weeks declined to make
public the request, when, he ex-
planned, had not reached him off,
cially, and he also refused TO set
forth the specific reasons which had
been given in support Of the re-
quest. He said, however that he
would not detach either officer pend
ing his investigation. ,
Regret that friction" between
the two officers had been publicly ex-
posed was expressed by Secretary
Weeks, and he voiced the hope that
the incident would be corrected in a
quiet way without reflecting public
ly upon the records ;'of the two, both
Of whom, he said, he regarded as ex-
cellent men.
The differences between the two
generals were understood, to be due
largely to lack of pagreehent on avia-
tion activities and policies. Repeated
public statments by Gen. Mitchell
urging unified air service since
President Harding addressed con-
gress in opposition to such unifeaton
and statements by him before con
gressionsl committee regarding the
relative worth of capital naval
ships and airplanes were said to be
among the reasons leading to the re-
quest for his relief. - '-.--

HoRDEs OF ANTS
THREATEN BUILDING

Wichita, Kans., June 9.-Hordes
Of ants, driving upward from the
earth through mudtubes are threat
ening destruction to the 500, 900 ex
change building at the stockyards
Oaken lumber stored under the
building has practically been con-
sumed and the ants have driven their
way up along pipes lines to the wood
work of the west end Of the struc-
ture which they have tunneled as far
as the second floor.
Washington entomologists have
identified the ravaging visitors as an
Australian or South American ant
which drives in armies, overwhelm-
ing in time any wood structure in its
oath. The cattle at the stock yards
seem to be free of attacks.
An attempt to stop activities of
the rests by placing fly-paper in
their path was frustrated when the
ants built a dirt bridge across the
obstruction and continued their op-
erations. By Insulation and shutting
off the ants return to the ground, it
is hoped that the army can be ex-
terminated.

flicting in the case. The States wit
