who said he had addressed a complaint

PROBE BARS LAID
TO MILK DEALERS
Hearings Report Reveals Accusa'
tions by U. S. Trade
Commissioner.

BY the Associated Press.
A Federal trade commissioners ac-
cusations that big milk dealers at
tempted to stop the commissions in
vestigation into the milk industry
were made public today in report
of a House subcommittee hearings
on an appropriation bill.
Ewin L. Davis, commissioner, told
the committee "the large milk COM
panies have not been at all pleased
with the investigation"
"There has undoubtedly been a lot
of propaganda" he said There has
been some I know on the part of the
milk companies telling producers the
investigation hurt them and they can
not pay as much for milk, and all
that, but that is all bunk; it is
simply done to try and stop the in
vestigation."
Davis added that the appropriation
for the investigation, which was sug-
gested by the budget estimates, was
cut in half and they poured in here
representatives Of milk distributors
and big milk companies-to defeat
any further investigation because
they did not want us to expose the
facts"
Davis testimony was given in re-
questing a deficiency appropriation
of $l50,000 to complete agricultural
Investigations.

LOUISIANA VOTES
UNDER u. S. EYES
Federal Observers Watch Ballot
Struggle Over Long
Issues.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, January 21.-
Iouisiana's Democratic primary bal
loting over the late Huey p Longs
dictatorship swung into action to-
day with cries of wholesale frauds"
from the anti-Long faction and raids
by State police upon substations of
anti-Long headquarters in New Or
leans.
The election was held under the
watchful eyes OF unidentified Federal
observers who were assigned to their
jobs by Representative Granfield,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,, chair
man of the Congressional Special
Committee on Election Investigations,
which has been inquiring into Louisi-
ana election practices.
The balloting was reported ex-
tremely heavy throughout the State,
with clear, cool weather prevailing,
and the Long and anti-Long factions,
we'll defined, crowding to the polls.
Walter M. Duffore. city campaign
manager for the ticket of Representa-
tive Cleveland Dear, nti-administra-
tion candidate for Governor, charged
there was wholesale fraud" election
irregularities at the polls, intimida-
ton OF voters and police interference
with the election machinery, which is
in the hands of the Gov. o. K. Allen
forces under the election laws OF the
late Long.
Replying to the charges, Edward M.
Heath, State administration arbitrator.
said there had been "one or two
serious complaints which have been
settled" but that most of them ARE
technical charges for offenses due to
ignorance, such as voting off mantel-
piece due to overcrowded booths"

Personal Grief
In Death of King
At White House
President Roosevelt Vas
acquainted With Late
Monarch During Var.

Residents of the White House were
personally affected by the death of
King George, and postponement OF
the congressional reception scheduled
for Thursday was for personal as well
as state reasons, it was today dis
closed at Mrs. Roosevelt's press con-
ference.
President Roosevelt knew King
George during the World War when
the British monarch went to the
front, Mrs. Roosevelt said. adding the
Chief Executive did not wish to hold
the social function in view of this
friendship.
A luncheon for Lady Lindsay, wife
of the British Ambassador, scheduled
for today. also was called OIL.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she had never
met King George. She became ac-
ouainted with the Prince Of Wales
when he was in this country 16 years
ago, however, she said. She will con-
tinue most Of her engagements for the
week and will receive delegates to the
Cause and Cure Of War Conference
tomorrow, she said, adding that on
Friday she will address the ,Women's
Democratic Club.
Congressional reception cards bear
ing the date January % should be held
by recipients and presented at the
White House on February 10, 1T 8
pm, she pointed out.

WATER TRANSPORT
CONTROL IS URGED
Eastman Points to. "De-
structive" Competition
in Annual Report.

Pointing to the 'bitter, destructive
and demoralizing competition" mark
ing operations at present, Joseph B.
Eastman, co-ordinator of Transports
ton, today In his. annual report re-
newed recommendation for regulation
Of domestic water carriers along the
lines Of that applied to the railroads,
and soon to cover motor transport.
EaStman's argument was bolstered
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which, transmitting his report.
said, "If common carriers by water are
left unregulated, unfair competition
between them and other transporta-
ton agencies will be inevitable, to the
injury, if not the ruin, of competitors. I"
The Wheeler bill to carry out such
regulation now is on the Senate cal
endar and is being strongly urged by
railroads.
Source Of Opposition.
''The opposition to further regula-
ton has come largely from the con-
tract and private water carriers which
chiefly serve the larger shippers" the
report points out. 1T is upon the
common carriers that the general
public must largely depend for wa.
ter transportation, and 1t is those
carriers, who are under the obliga-
ton of serving alike all who seek their
services, that are most seriously af-
fected by the present conditions of
bitter. destructive and demoralizing
competition"
Another piece of legislation wanted
by the rail systems-repeal Of the
long -short-haul clause of the in
terstate commerce act to cope with
competitors-drew an adverse report
from the co-ordinator.
"All that they (railroads) could
hope to gain would be an opportunity
to obtain additional traffic on q very
low basis of rates yielding some slight
margin over the so-called 'out-of-
pocket COSTS" Eastman said. How
ever. such cost is fluctuating thing,
dependent in part on whether or not
it is necessary to opera.e more trains
to carry the additional traffic. If
more trains become necessary, 'out-of-
pocket cost rises sharply Further
more, if the railroads are permitted to
make rates on this basis, the water
lines must be permitted to do likewise.
and in their case it often happens that
It will pay to take on additional traf-
f1c at inconsequential rates rather
than to ship ballast, which pays moth
ing. The prospects are, therefore,
that unrestrained rate warfare will
leave the railroads with an out-of-
pocket loss and impoverish both groups
of carriers"
Disagree on I. c. C. Size.
The report brings out the sharp
differences between Eastman and the
majority of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, of which he also is
member, as to the necessity for en-
larging that body. Eastman repeats
his recommendation for raising the
membership from II to Is. because
of its growing functions: the COM
mission majority says this is not
necessary.
Eastman recommends that the CO.
ordinator's Office be made permanent,
or, as an alternative. that it be con-
tinued for a five-year term, instead of
being authorized on year-to-year
basis. It is due to expire June 30.
The commission is non-co commital on
this point.

D. c. BOARD HITS
INCREASE IN TAXES
Report Given Despite Budget
, Bureau Hint of Approval
=. of LevieS.

Opposition to several proposals for
increases in District taxes was voiced
by the Commissioners today In letters
to the Senate and House District Com
mittees, despite receipt from the
Budget Bureau of reports the boosts
would not be in conflict" with PreSi-
dent Roosevelt's financial program.
The situation illustrated one Of the
peculiarities Of the new gag" rule
promulgated by the Budget Bureau,
''at the direction of the President" re-
curing that District and Federal OFF,
cials ascertain the position Of either
the bureau or the National Emergency
Council on pending legislative matters
before submitting reports to Congress.
The bills are hold-overs from former
sessions of Congress and mostly date
back to the report of the Mapes Com
mittee of the House. They were sent
to the Commissioners for report and
had to be forwarded to the Budget
Bureau, even though the Commission
ers announced several weeks ago they
would fight any tax increase.
Large Surplus Seen.
:. This decision was based on the
fact the bureau had so slashed the
1887 District estimates as to fore
cast creation of large surplus at
the end of that year, on the basis Of
present levies.
The bureaus report. released to-
day, concerned proposals for an estate
tax, an increase in the gasoline tax,
an income tax, motor vehicle weight
tax, and increased levies on utilities.
The Commissioners in their letters
recommended that favorable reports
on the measures be withheld "inas-
much as the budget for the District
presented to Congress for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1887, would Gre
ate a surplus of funds to the credit
Of the District upon revenues COL
lected under existing law"
New Construction.
The Commissioners also revealed
they will send to the Budget Bureau a
proposal that an initial appropriation
be made in the 1887 budget for start
ing construction of new buildings for
the Districts minor courts in Judici-
ary Square.
This announcement was made after
the Commissioners disclosed that
Budget Director Bell had decided an
other proposal-for direct loan to
the District from the United States
Treasury for construction of the build
mgs-was not in accord with the Presi-
dents financial program. The Com
tnissioners previously had decided to
abandon that move.
The Budget Bureau said the bill to
establish a rent commission was not in
accord with the Presidents program.

President Wilson unfortunate, but
said she thought the Nye munitions
committee should get the appropria-
ton to finish its investigation job.
II look at it from the standpoint
Of the fundamental question of arma-
ments as a cause OF war;" said Miss
Schain.
ANY investigation has these dra-
matte angles-little skyrockets that go
up in the air and explode-and peo-
pie are distracted by these f1are-ups
from the fundamental issue.
The Nye investigation has not only
been definite influence on that impor-
tant subject (of armaments) in
America, but abroad. England now
has an investigation into armaments.
as direct'result of the world interest
in the whole subject Of armament con-
troll stirred by the Nye Committee, and
il the committee still feels it ought
to 60 on because there are more peril
nent matters to be brought to light,
it should have the money to 60 on.
Lauds Wilson.
IT think the attack on Mr.. Wilson
was unfortunate, and I don't see that
there was any necessity to go off
on that. But he was a great man
his place in history is assured"
Miss Schain classed as "discuieting
events" the war between Italy and
Ethiopia, the disruption Of the arms
conference and the march of Japan
into Asia.
As an encouraging event" Of the
last year she listed: The reaction OF
British and French public opinion to
acts of their government in seeming to
betray cooperative peace efforts"
Yesterday the National Committee
on the Cause and Cure of War held
a meeting preliminary to the confer
ence. In this committee were rep
resented the presidents and interna-
tional relations chairmen Of the II af-
filiated national women's organiza-
tions.

It Is equally clear where the new
burden Is going to fall when it does.
There is no more real revenue in the
rich, because there are so few rich.
Nor Is there much more to be gained
from the poor, and every one else, by
sales and excise taxes. After all, the
current State sales taxes are as much
as that trafflc will bear.
There is only one place where the
Government can get such revenue as
is now being talked about. That is in
taxes on incomes below $4,000. They
will pay the bill.
No one here Is paying any at
tention to the new pressure CAM
patgn OF the committee for the
Nation. The idea prevalent on the
inside here is that opening of the
gold market toould cause the price
OF gold to 90 dotUn, not up.
The reason why the agitation for re-
opening Of the domestic gold and sill
yer markets Is not getting anywhere
either is that such action might cause
boarding again.
$5,VVU,OUV,VV Minimum.
The tight-lipped Secretary of the
Treasury was conservative in his esti-
mates to the Senators. The truth is
he will probably have to raise a lot
more than $4,000, ,000, 900 in new money
during the next II months.
He took a subbottom estimate on
the bonds and on Mndisclosed relief
needs. Also, he failed to figure in
the neD farm program, possible
farm tenant bill and a couple OF
billion dollars OF other possible
odds and ends. Howeper, this does
not alter his financing chances ma
terially. Nor does the prospect that
he tDiH haze to be about $6.000.-
100000 OF refnancing In the nert
II months.
Refinancing is comparatively easy.
