Hitchcock and his World Horald were mercilessly man-handled by the Grain Dealers' National association at the Rome hotel Tuesday afternoon, following a placid address by Mr. Hitch cock, In which he said that federal In spection of the weighing of grain waa a consummation sure to come. At the close of his speech Senator Kltohcoek Immediately left the conven tion haJl, pleading a golf engagement. Scarcely had he cleared the door when the storm broke. A. E. Reynolds, chair man of the committee on legislation, en tered a vehement protest against the World-Herald for its misrepresentations tn reporting the president of the associa tion In favor of government supervision of grain. President E. M. Wayne wielded his 'gavel vainly for order. H. 8. Grimes of Portsmouth. O., a member of the legis lation committee, secured the floor and demanded angrily that the World-Herald be required to retract Its statement in as prominent a manner as It was made.

Reports from several committees were scheduled for the afternoon, but after the passage of the resolution disorder reigned and few remained In the hall to hear the reports. Instead the grain deal ers gathered In small groups and "con tinued the discussion of the association's attitude toward government Inspection of grains. President Wayne announced from the chair that the World-Herald's report of his speech waa a misrepresentation, that he had said nothing to Indicate he was in favor of government inspection and asked that the report be corrected.

Accordingly, every precaution looking to the safety of the troops has been taken. The battle ships cover a moving area ons mile wide and five miles long. Within this square the transports appear secure from any danger except the ever present one of the elements.
