Chicago Grain Men
Deny Farmers Giye
Out False Reports
Chicago, Nov. 19. Chicago grain
men and students of crop conditions
here today contradicted a charge
made by Joseph Hartigan, commis
sioner of weights and measures in
New York, that western farmers had
under-estimated their crop reports to
the federal government and forced up
the price of foodstuffs.
"The attack of Mr. Hartigan on the
honesty of the American farmer and
the reliability of the government
crop-reporting system is just about
as far from the truth as his state
ment of a few weeks ago that the
Board of Trade had bought up all
the wheat of the country and were
making the high cost to the con
sumer," said J. P. Griffin, president
of the Chicago Board of Trade. "Both
statements show that the gentleman
has not studied the crop situation to
any degree worthy1" of considera
tion." -- '

INQUIRY INTO RAIL
PROBLEMS BEGINS
Special Committee Appointed
by Congress Will Act at
Washington Today.
MUST REPORT BY JAN. 8
Washington. Nov. - 19. Congres
sional investigation into the broad
question of government regulation and
control of railroads and other com
mon carriers, suggested by President
Wilson in his opening address to the
last session, begins here tomorrow be
fore a joint committee of senators and
representatives.
Although the investigation was au
thorized before the threatened strike
by the four great brotherhoods, the
investigation will go into the ques
tions which came up at that time, such
as regulation of wages by the Inter
state Commerce commission and legis
lation to prevent a similar situation.
Uuestions .wnicn ine investigators
will take up go to the heart of the
transportation problem and the in
quiry probably will have a potent in
fluence in congress on the subject of
government and ownership.
Many Interests Will Appear.
The committee is reauired to report
to congress bv Tanuarv 8. and an ef
fort may be made to put through
legislation before the session ends on
March 1, after which the administra
tion will not have its present majority
in the house.
The resolution for the investigation
came at the conclusion of many
months of effort on the part of rail
roads and others interested in ques
tions affecting them, to have a com
prehensive inquiry into all phases of
government control.
Suggested by President
President Wilson in his address to
congress in December, 1915, called at
tention to the need in tnis language:
The transportation problem is an
exceedingly serious and pressing one
in this country. There has from time
to time of late been reason to fear
that our railroads would not much
longer be able to cope with it suc
cessfully, as at present equipped and
co-ordinated. I suggest thatjt would
be wise to provide for a commission
of inauirv to ascertain bv a thorough
canvass of the whole question whether
our laws as at present framed and
administered are as serviceable as they
might be in the solution of the prob
lem." Six months later the joint resolution
was adopted. It provides for the ap
pointment of five senators and five
representatives "to investigate the
subject of the government control and
regujation of interstate and foreign
transportation, the efficiency of the
existing system in protecting the
nehts of shippers and carriers and in
promoting the public interest, the in
cornoration or control of the incor
poration of carriers; and all proposed
cnanges m inc organization toi mc
Interstate Commerce commission. and
the act to regulate commerce, also the
subject of" government ownership of
public utilities, such as telegraph, wire
less, cable, telephone, express com
nanies. and railroads engaged in inter
state and foreign commerce and report
as to the wisdom or leasibuity ot gov
ernment ownership of such utilities
and as to the comparative worth and
efficiency of government regulation
and control as compared with govern
ment ownership ' and operation.
Power was given the committee to sit
during a recess of congress and to
summon witnesses and to call on gov
ernment agencies for assistance. The
sum of $4t,UUU was appropriated tor
expenses.
Under the resolution the following
members were named on the commit
tee: Senators Newlands (chairman)
Robinson. Underwood. Cummins and
Brandegee and Representatives Adam-
son. Sims. Luilop, cscn ana Ham
ilton, all coming from the interstate
commerce committees of the two
houses.
Scope of Inquiry.
In its announcement of the hearings
the committee said it would consider
the subjects as follows:
"The subject of government control
and regulation of interstate and for
eign transportation," and under this
head:
"The efficiency "of the existing sys
tern in protecting the rights of ship
pers and carriers and in promoting the
public interest.
"The incorporation or control of
ine incorporation oi carriers.
"All proposed changes in the or
ganization of the Interstate Commerce
commission as the act to regulate
commerce."
Under another head the committee
will consider: I
"The subject of government owner
ship of all public utilities, such as
telegraph, wireless, cable, telephone
and express comoanies. and railroads
engaged in interstate and foreign com
merce," including specifically:
"The wisdom or feasibility of gov
ernment ownership.
"The comparative worth and effi
ciency of government regulation and
control as compared with government
ownership and operation.

WILSON FACING
SERIOUS ISSUES
RAISED BY WAR
President Must Deal With Sub
marine Question on One
Hand and Allied Block
ade on Other.
OTHER IMPORTANT AFFAIRS
U-Boat Situation Regarded as
the Most Disquieting of
Them All.
CRITICAL CASES PENDING
Washington, Nov. 19. A portent-
ious and complicated international
situation now faces President Wilson
and for. ihtf next few weeks will en
gage his attention and that of his
advisors, to the exclusion of all but
the most urgent of democratic sub
jects. From now on the president expects
to deal with all foreign questions
without embarrassment. While it is
not Evident that there will be any
fundamental change in policy, free
dom from fear that any move at all
would be misinterpreted as inspired
by an international political struggle
has been- removed.
Questions Facing President.
The president must decide how the
United States shall meet the Ger
man submarine question on the one
hand and the entente allied trade re
strictions on the1 other; whether the
retaliatory legislation shall be en
forced; whether the traditional theory
of isolation shall be abandoned for
concerted neutral action; whether the
country shall have an aggressive or
a passive policy toward the peace con
ference; the war after the war; the
permanent league to enforce peace,
and during the rest of the war shall
America's attitude be governed by
benevolent interpretation of interna
tional law according to -its own best
interests, or shall it be strictly legal
istic, regardless of whom it affects.
The most disquieting problems is
the German submarine situation. Five
critical cases are pending, one in
volving a loss of six American lives,
two others involving American ships.
Building U-Boats Fort.
Increasingly serious is the fast
growing conviction that any kind of
a general submarine warfare is in
tolerable. Germatiy is known to be
built ing submarines rapidly and there
is the possibility of a starvation cam
paign against England. The United
States might find it difficult to avoid
complications.
The American attitude is flat and
final. No technicalities would be ad
mitted. Ships must not be sunk with
out warning and with provisions for
the safety of the passengers facing
high seas or distance from shore. The
armed ship issue will not be ac
cepted. Secretary Lansing forsaw it
last March when, without announcing
his reason, he decreed that merchant
vessels could carry a small defensive
gun. .. a
Rest With Germany.
The future of the submarine situa
tion is felt to rest entirely with Ger
many. The next step must come from
Berlin. Two possibilities are feared;
either that Germany will decide it can
starve England by an undersea cam
paign or that it may endeavor to in
volve thus country, and thus insure
the participation in peace conferences
of a generous enemy. Beyond this,
the Lusitania case remains unsettled.
Germany has admitted liability and
offered indemnity. But the delicate
matter of its amount has not been set
tled. Attempts made td close the is
sue have been repeatedly blocked by
unexpected new U-boat complications.
The ravages of the U-53 off New
England were displeasing to the gov
ernment. It was said that continu
ance of the practice would not be per
mitted, as it would constitute a prac
tical blockade of American harbors.
Less Clear Cut. (
Relations with the entente allies are
less clear cut. Sea power has enabled
them, through the blockade and the
imposition of the blacklist, virtually to
destroy all foreign trade hostile to
them and divert all American com
merce to their own uses. Constant
belligerent encroachment on neutral
rights has led President Wilson to say
that neutrality is "intolerable." War
has become so world wide, so unlim
ited as to national boundaries, that it
is no longer the hostile army, but the
hostile state, men, women and chil
dren, with its outposts all over the
world, that is involved.
First and oldest of the entente allies'
restrictions is the blockade, which our
government has declared illegal be
cause it is both ineffective and dis
criminatory in favor of Norway and
Sweden in that it does not blockade
the Baltic, and because it attempts to
blockade neutral ports, contigious to
Germany, to which British goods-are
allowed to go. The case dates back to
March 11, 1915, and the last note was
the British refusal of April 24, last
Bitterly Condemned.
The rationing of Holland, Norway,
Sweden and Denmark has been bitter
ly condemned in the blockade notes,
where it has been held to be abso
lutely unwarranted in the interruption
of neutral trade directly between neu
tral countries.

BRITISH BATTLE
ON IMA BORDER
English Forces Engage Six
Thousand Tribesmen and
Defeat Them.
THIS IS LONDON REPORT
London, Nov. 19. A battle has oc
curred on the frontier of India in
which a British force was engaged
with 6,000 tribesmen, the war office
announced today. The tribesmen were
defeated and withdrew with a loss of
100 dead.
The engagement occurred near the
boundary between India and Afghani
stan. The British took the offensive.
The force attacked was made up of
Mohammedans.
The British employed airplanes,
which had never before been used in
military operations on the Indian
frontier. Onl one person was killed
on the British side, the- statement
says.
Since the"proclamation of s holy
war by the sultan of Turkey there
have been various reports of uprisings
in India. It has been stated in Berlin
dispatches that unrest in India was
increasing and that revolts of consid
erable proportions have broken out
These reports were denied by . the
British government and so far as is
known there has been comparatively
little disorder except along the north
western frontier, where even in peace
times disturbances are not infrequent.
The rebels are members of a war
like tribe which lives along the Kabul
river in northern India. They never
have been brought to acknowledge the
supremacy of any leaders but their
own, and have been accustomed to
break from the hills into the low
lands on raiding forays. In March
and in October of last year fighting
was reported near the Afghanistan
frontier, the British on each occasion
dispersing hostile forces numbering
several thousand men.
Find Body of Lost Boy
, After Nine Months
In Lake Michigan
Chicago, Nov. 19. Tiie body of
9-year-old Cyril "Sonny" Matthews,
who was lost from his home nine
months ago, was washed shore by
Lake Michigan yesterday. Search for
the boy had been kept up continu
ously by his parents and by school
mates, but no word had ever Deen
known of his fate until today.
Gypsy bands, kidnaping clews and
every influence that might have had
to do with the boy's disappearance
had been investigated. Rewards had
been offered and scores of detectives
had been constantly on the search
without avail.
The body was found by a former
playmate of the boy, who was wan
dering along the lake shore, and its
recovery, the police believe, has in
tensified rather than solved the mys
tery of his disappearance. It is not
believed possible that it had been in
the lake since his disappearance,
February 10.
Numerous -letters received by the
parents incline them to the belief
that the boy was held by kidnapers,
who finally killed him, in fear of de
tection. ,
Convicts Force Pen
Warden Out of Job
Salem, Ore., Novv19. In open re
bellion against the rule of Deputy
Warden L. C. Sherwood, who has
been in charge at the penitentiary
since Warden John Mintos' forced
rcsign;ion three days' ago, 300 con
victs late yesterday left their work in
the prison shops, clamored for and
obtained a hearing before the State
Board of Control, then in session, and
demanded the removal of Sherwood
and his staff.
After an extended hearing the
board promised the men that a hu
manitarian warden would be appoint
ed, but declined to give explicit as
surance of the removal of Sherwood.
News of the occurrence was sup
pressed until today.

Edge of Village of Grand
Court Town.
RESISTANCE NOT FIRM
(Copyrla-ht. ISIS, by The Aaaoelated Praia.)
' With the British Armies in France,
Nov. 19 (Via London, Nov. 20).
British and Canadian troops won a
battle in a snowstorm this morning.
Advancing on both sides of the river
in easterly and northerly directions,
they took about 500 prisoners and
established a new line on both sides
and at the edge of the village of
Grandcourt, for the possession of
which severe fighting continued
throughout the day. .
The attacks from the south were
made before daybreak, while a stiff
wind sent flurries of snow into the
faces of the British soldiers as they
pushed down the slope toward the
marshes along the Ancre. It was the
first snow of the season, following
two davs and nights of intense, drvl
cold which hardened the swamp of
No Man's Land after nearly three
months of constant rainfall, thus giv
ing the attacking infantry a firm
foothold on the frozen ground.
Resistance Not Great.
They advanced nearly a quarter of
a mile on a three-mile front to the
German position south of the villages
of Grandcourt, Petit Miraumont and '
fys, and occupied the trench with
out great resistance except south of
Grandcourt, where the batteries and
machine guns holding the sunken
Pozierea road checked the British.
Elsewhere the German trench was
virtually destroyed by the prepara
tory bombardment, the surviving
(jermans, including Saxons, formally
surrendering through their officers,
who-met . the British as they came
over the ruined parapet
Parties of the British bombers ad
vanced to the next German line; which
is the last on the south side of the
Ancre, raided the position and re
turned to the trench previously cap
tured, which by now had been con
solidated. Infantry detachments .
working up the river bank from the ',
western end of Grandcourt- got a -footing-in
the ruins and craters a'nd
took the lower end of the main street
paralleling the Ancre, of which the
Germans hold the remainder.
On the north side of the Ancre the
advance was made from the eastern
end of Beaucort Capturing Holland's
wood, the patrols pushed forward to
the Pusieux trencn, a part of the
original German second line, the end
of which, at the river bank, the Brit
ish now hold.
Today's successes give the British
command . of ruined villages, forti
fied farms and other strong German
points in the Ancre valley. 1
