THE BEE : OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 13, 19i9. WATTLES WILL AID IN CAMPAIGN AGAINST H, G. L. Will Return to Omaha From Summer Home at Los An v geles to Reorganize Food Administration. Food Administrator G. W. Wat tles oi Nebraska has notified At torney General Palmer that he will attempt to reorganize a working committee in this state in response to his request to aid in the cam paign against profiteers. Mr. Wattles is at his summer home in Los Angeles, Cal., and will return to Nebraska" as soon as pos sible to take active charge of the work. In addition to the regular administration personnel a price fixing committee will be named to establish a "lair price" list of food commodities in Nebraska. In a U-legram to business asso ciates Mr. Wattles said that he would appoint the committee as soon as possible in order that they may start their probe into the cost of living. Mayor Smith yesterday said he was uncertain when he would re sume investigation of cars of spoiled fruits and vegetables, discovered on railroad tracks here. "I am having further investiga tions made by the police depart ment," he said "A commission man told me the investigation already has had the effect of making con signees of fruit and vegetables more careful about attending to their shipments when received. He as sured me there would be no more cars ef spoiled fruits or vegetables found in Omaha." B. B. Tones, in charge of the local federal bureau of markets, will tes tify before the city council when the investigation shall be resumed. He will enlighten the council on the system used here and in other cities by his bureau. The local federal bureau records show that since Aug ust 1, 37 carloads of watermelons were received in Omaha and that four were reconsigned to other points. The police investigations showed that nine cars were allowed to spoil in whole or in part on the local tracks. The mayor expects to show that the local commission men did not suffer a loss on these spoiled water melons, but that they came out even by charging excessive prices. "Think of watermelons being sold here for 5 cents a pound, and I ven ture to state that hundreds of boys and girls in Omaha did not taste watermelon this summer, and here we have a situation of nearly nine cars being allowed to spoil after be ing received in Omaha," the mayor said.

CARNEGIE'S END HASTENED BY WORLD CONFLICT War Broke Ironmaster's Heart, Says Chauncey De pew Funeral Thursday to Be Private. Lenox, Mass., Aug. 12. The num ber of those who will hear the fu neral rites over the body of Andrew Carnegie at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning will be greater than was expected. It was originally planned to have those at the service limited closely but since the death of the once great ironmaster word has been received from more and more of his close associates and the lis! of those expected has gradually ex panded. Rev. Dr. William Pierson Mer rill, pastor of the Brick Presbyter ian church of New York, of which Mrs. Carnegie is a member, will officiate, assisted by the Rev. Ben son N. Wyman, pastor of the Lenox Congregational church. Plans Withheld. The plans for the removal of the body to Tarrytown, N. Y., have been withheld as it is the wish of the family that the transfer be made with as little publicity as possible. There were few callers today at Shadow Brook. Among the guests at the Aspin wall is perhaps the only former as sociate of Mr. Carnegie who was his elder and survives him. This is Chauncey M. Depew, now in his 86th year and who spoke today of Mr. Carnegie as his junior. Reciting how Carnegie had de voted millions in efforts to prevent war, he said the world conflict had broken Mr. Carnegie's heart and that the ironmaster was never the same after war was declared. Peace Propagandist. "He became obsessed with the idea," said Mr. Depew, "that the fu ture 'of the world depended on the abolition of war. He created a per manent fund for the propaganda of peace. He built the palace at The Hague for its home. "I never knew any one so inter ested in any one thing as he was in the peace of the w,orld. He firmly believed that his efforts to prevent war would succeed. When war came, surprising in its tragedies, it broke Mr. Carnegie's heart. He was never the same again." Wilson Sends Condolence. Washington, Aug. 12. President Wilson sent the following message of condolence today to Mrs. Andrew Carnegie: "May I not express my deep sym pathy at the loss of your distin guished husband? His death con stitutes a very serious loss to the forces of humanity and enlightened public spirit, and takes out of the world a force which it could ill af ford to spare." Lodge Attacks League, Cheered by Galleries (Continued from Page One.) the "American plan" for a league of nations until it was in printed form ready for submission to the com mission, and that later the basis of discussion by the commission was a composite plan framed from the drafts of the various nations by himself and C. J. P. Hurst, a legal attache of the British foreign office. Under questioning the witness said he was a law partner of Gorden Auchincloss son-in-law of Col. E. M. House, and never had any ex perience in international negotia tions until he was given an ap pointment in the State department in 1917. Hypothetical Questions. The witness was asked many hy pothetical questions about the operation of the league covenant and his answers were objected to several times by republican mem bers as evasive. On some of the questions he reserved judgment. It was the opinion of committee members, however, that Mr. Miller would not be recalled and that no further witnesses would be asked to come before the committee in its consideration of the treaty. Some members want to ask that Colonel House, who still is in Europe, be called to answer questions about the league, but the general expecta tion is that the proposal will be abandoned because too great a de lay would result. The republican senators who have agreed on a reservation pro gram are anxious that the treaty be disposed of at the earliest possible moment, and it is believed they will try to impress that sentiment at the forthcoming conferences with Sena tor Lodge and others 49,498 Battle Deaths and 205,690 Wounded Washington, Aug. 12.

To July 1 the army had reported 149,433 cases of disabled soldiers to the war risk insurance bureau. It was estimated that the final total would be close to 200,000.

Ask $500,000 Fund to Aid in H. C. of L. Probe Washington, Aug. 12. An appro priation of SaOO.OOO for investigation of the increased cost of living by the federal trade commission was asked of congress bv Acting Chair man Murdock of the commission in a letter to Speaker Gillett. Funds for the commission already author ized are insufficient to conduct the proposed inquiries, the letter said Chairman Murdock, who also is a member of the subcommittee named by Attorney General Palmer to submit recommendations for re ducing living costs, set forth in his letter that the commission proposed to conduct further investigations as to the production, storaee and dis tribution of foodstuffs, with aim of arriving at figures on the real cost, wholesale and retail prices. So far as known, the president has not directed any additional investi gations, but bills now are pending in the house for inquiries into the sugar and shoe industries. The communication from the trade commission chairman reached the house at the close of a day during which both branches of con gress gave much attention to the cost of living problems. Appropri ation of $175,000 was asked for the secret service by Secretary Glass, who asked th.it in authorizing the appropriation, a clause be inserted to permit the use of the service op eratives in running down food hoarders and profiteers. Hoarding and profiteering were the subject of two measures pre sented in the house. A bill by Rep resentative Gard. democrat, Ohio, would provide $10,000 fine or five years' imprisonment for hoarding, profiteering or monopolizing the production of foodstuffs, fuel or clothing. . Representative Goody koontz, republican, West Virginia, prestnted a resolution to direct the judiciary committee to frame a legis lation to eliminate hoarding and to reduce the amount of currency in circulation. Mr. Goodykoontz also introduced a resolution requesting the secretary of war to sell the sur plus stocks of automobiles and motor trucks. Representative Keller, independent republican, introduced a bill to au thorize creation of a national board of conservation headed by the presi dent and composed of members of the cabinet, five senators and five representatives which would have power to regulate wholesale and re tail prices of food and clothing. Representative Fees, republican, Ohio, discussing the high cost of liv ing in the house, declared that gov ernment wastefulness during the war and at present in continuing many war-created agencies largely was re sponsible for the existing high prices. Senator McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, appearing before the house agriculture committee, pre dicted organized opposition on the part of the packing industry to any legislation to regulate cold storage facilities. The cost of living question will be brought up again tomorrow on the floor of the senate with prepared ad dresses by Senator McKellar and Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri.

If You Can't Call Write to 1807 Farnam Street Omaha ALL ARGUMENTS IN FORD'S SUIT ARE CONCLUDED Last Word Spoken by Senior Counsel for Plaintiff; Case Goes to Jury Thursday. Mount Clemens, Mich., Aug. 12. The evidence and the final argu ments in Henry Ford's $1,000,000 libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune are all in. The last word was spoken by Alfred Lucking senior counsel for the plaintiff, to day. Tomorrow Judge Tucker will formulate his instructions and Thursday he will deliver them to the jury. The final appeal on behalf of the defendants was by Atty Elliott G. Stevenson, preceding Mr. Lucking. Issue Squarely Joined. The issue was squarely joined. Mr Stevenson contending that Mr. Ford was an anarchist in June, 1916, when the Tribune so characterized him, and Mr. Lucking asserting that there was no man in the United States farther removed from an archy. Mr. Stevenson read statement after statement from the Ford peace propaganda and similar ones from the writings of Emma Goldman, and declared that the jury could not tell which was Goldman and which was Ford. Mr. Lucking characterized the ad dress of Mr. Stevenson as a power ful appeal to the passions and pre judices of the jury. "It calls for consideration at your hands, from which every item of prejudice and every element of the extraneous has been eliminated," he said. Draws Distinction. "This you must bear in mind when you consider damages," said Mr. Lucking. The lawyer drew a dis tinction between "president" and "government." '"When President Wilson asks congress for legislation, he is not the government; when congress passes that legislation and it be comes law and the president puts it into execution, he is the govern ment," said the advocate. He point ed out that in arguing against in creasing the national guard in 1916, Mr. Ford was opposing President Wilson, but not the government. The Ford lawyer took up the question of the "right of fair com ment" claimed by the Tribune in de fense of the editorial and asserted that the right existed with regard to comment on views but not com ment on individuals. Pro-Germanism Alleged. The speaker insisted that it was the "pro-Germanism" of the Tri bune which led it to advocate inter vention in Mexcio and that the at tack on Mr. Ford was due to a malicious resentment of his opposi tion. He emphasized that while the newspaper paid its employes while they were with the national guard on the border, it did not do so in the war against Germany. "The Tribune was not interested in the great war; it opposed it to the last," said Mr. Lucking. Britain Spying On Labor Is Charge of London Paper London, Aug. 12. That the Brit ish government is organizing a sin ister secret plot against labor and is conducting systematic spying ac tivities on the action of workers, is a charge that is featured today in the Daily Herald, the labor organ, which connects with this alleged move ment recent official reports of bol shevik conspiracies as part of the scheme.

CONCENTRATION OF AIR SERVICE RECOMMENDED Special American Aviation Mission Brings in Report Which Baker Opposes. Washington, Aug. 12. Concen tration of the air activities of the United States, civilian, naval and military, within the direction of a single governmental agency with an official holding a place in the president's cabinet at the head is recommended by the special Ameri can aviation mission, headed by Assistant Secretary of War Crowell, which has been studying aircraft developments in Europe. In making public the report, Secretary Baker disapproved the recommendation for a department of aviation, holding that "the mis sion has in my judgment gone too far in suggesting a single central ized air service." The proposed department of avia tion, the mission asserted in its re port, should be charged with full responsibility for placing and main taming our country in the front rank among nations in the development and utilization of aircraft for the national security and in the ad vancement of civil aerial transporta tion and communication art. In disagreeing with this feature of the report. Mr. Baker said: "Army and navy aviators are soe cialists in the art; both the airplanes and the pilots needed are of a dif e . ' . e . . iereni type irom tnose needed in civilian undertakings. A separation of the air service from the armv or the navy would require co-ordination of their activities in time of war, whereas effectiveness in military operation rests upon the concentra tion and singleness of authority, command and purpose. Omaha Grain Market Not Embargoed, the Exchange Declares The railroad situation has cleared up to such an extent that the grain control committee of the Omaha Grain exchange has authorized the shipment of grain to this market treely. It has been proven to their satis faction that the Omaha market can handle, without danger of conges tion, a larger volume of shipments than originally authorized. It is the general opinion of those best in formed, and it is concurred in by representatives of the United States Grain corporation and members of the grain control committee, that with the railroad troubles settled the Omaha market can absorb and handle, at least for a considerable period, all grain which may be of fered the railroads for shipment to Omaha. It developed at a conference held at the Grain Exchange, Monday, be tween railroad representatives, the grain control committee and mem bers of the exchange, that many of the railroad agents at country sta tions had not received correct in structions or had misinterpreted those received. No Trace Found of Planes Which Flew Across Border El Paso, Aug. 12.- Military head quarters here announced nothing had been heard from the two Amer ican army aviators who were re ported to have flown across the border near Presidio, Texas, in the Big Bend military district Monday.

Request that the secretary of war declare a surplus of motor trucks and auto mobiles held by the department in this country and to sell them imme diatciy at reasonable prices is made in a resolution introduced by Rep resentative Goodykoontz, repub lican, West Virginia.

RINGER'S BULL WAS BULLED BY FARMER'S BULL Records Broken on Field Club Golf Course .When City and Rural Bulls Play Game. Policeman Trapp, one of the city's motorcycle "bulls" fell in with a bull at Turner boulevard and Leavenworth street Monday after noon. The bull had just fallen out of a wagon and proceeded tcT"take a fall out of the record for fast traveling on Omaha's boulevards. "Not so fast," said the motorcycle "bull". Trapp said the bull merely shook his head and' murmured something unintelligible which the officer un derstood to mean "Where's your warrant?" "You can't bull me!" exclaimed Trapp, opening his motorcycle an other notch. "You can't exceed the speed limit here. You're out o' the rural districts." The bull took the boulevard curves like Barney Oldfield. At the residence of Mrs. J. A. In gwerson, 1122 Turner boulevard, he paused. Trapp thought the bull wanted to be friends. Somewhere he had read that animals are rendered docile by kindness. But this bull spurned Trapp's advances like a waiter spurns the old-fashioned dime. After an ineffectual attempt to get the bull into reverse and backed into the Ingwerson garage, Trapp allowed him to get a flying start to ward the Field club. Out on the links went the bull and the motorcycle "bull" went there too. Then the bull laid, down beneath a tree and went to sleep. Meantime Trapp phoned South Omaha for lariat throwers but they failed to ap pear before the bull awoke, outdis tanced Trapp, foiled the attempts of the morals squad to trap him with a marked $5 bill and went west on Center street.

Bohemians in Omaha j Start Drive to Aid 1 Starving Children Local Bohemians have begun an active campaign to help the children of Czechoslovakia, the newly fornied state of Bohemia and Slo vakia, according to F. F. Kutak. chairman of their publicity com mittee, who said: "Conditions are so terrible and the chances of a baby to live into a sound and healthy man or woman are so small that one is almost glad of the low birthrate in Czechoslo vakia. The decrease is startling. In the city of Prague there were 5,510 births in 1914. and only 2,675 in 1918. In the large industrial suburb of Zizkov there were 1,884 births in 1910, 594 in 1917, and only 350 in 1918, less than one-fifth of the normal. "To help these unfortunate vic tims of the world war. The Alice Masaryk fund was started, and the Bohemians of Omaha and Nebraska are contributing freely. In the last two months the local Bohemians have sent $75,000 worth of provi sions and goods of all kinds to Czechoslovakia, and all of this ha been bought in Omaha. Now they ask for assistance from their Ameri can friends. "Milk, food, medicines and baby clothing will save thousands of young live . The American Chil dren's relief has already accom plished much; it has branch offices all over the Czechoslovak republic; it has a grant from the Czechoslo vak government funds and gets the full co-operation of the Czechoslo vak Red Cross. Money and sup plies are needed and Dr. Alice Masaryk looks to the Czechoslovak people in America and to all the friends of the new nation to help the starving and sick children. The local office of the Alice Masaryk fund is located at 1236 South Thirteenth street and dona tions will be received in the rotunda of the court house, where Mrs, Lena Miskovsky is in charge.
