Government Lets Bacon Spoil In Poorly
Built Warehouses While Prices Rise And
People Hunger
GROCERS of El Paso assert that the
VJ government Is responsible for the
present high prices of food products
here and elsewhere, and their asser
tion seems to be borne out In many In
stances. For instance. It is asserted that the
government waste of food in Its army
supply depots Is one of the criminal
things of the present time, yet It Is
going on daily, all over the country.
Grocers know it has been going on
here and they have heard that it Is
going on everywhere. They do not
blame the local army officials for the
waste they blame the system and
the custom.
Jnst as nrmy officers burned
the wood In the cantonment build
ings erected here for the national
guard In 1016. when thousands of
poor in Cl Paso were suffering
from cold, food purchased by the
army Is allowed to spoil and Is
then destroyed here - and else

I The plot was discovered when two
conspirators went to Santa Rosalia

commission in Villa's army It he

telegraphed Gen. Enrique Martinez,
chief of staff at Chihuahua City, the
details of the plot. When .the plotters
returned to the state capital, they
were arrested, according to Informa
tion received here.
One of the ringleaders was said to
have been Gen. Lzaro Alanls, a
former Villa commander, who had
been given amnesty in 191S by Car

Another relaxation of the house
bill was made In Its provision for pen
alizing persons having -reason to be

unlawfully. The senate amendment
requires "personal knowledge" cf auch

The house provision declaring
that after February 1. 1EGO, the -

House Provisions Retained.
Retaining the house provision pro-
"f'P"?" or prescptlon of In-

Internal revenue office, the revised
bill contains a provision that such

upon receipt of permits. The house
limit of ten days on permits to pur

the revised bill to-SO days. Pharma
cists only may sell at retail and li

however, was eliminated.

Limit Wine for Sacrament.
More rigorous provisions regarding
transatlons In wines for sacramental
and religious purposes are provided
by a provision requiring Issuances of
such permits only to ministers, rabbis
or other cclesi'stlcals.
The house provisions regarding ad
vertising of beverages Is made more
stringent In some respects and more
liberal in others. The subcommittee
clause penalizing advertisement of in-

method. Also stricken out was a '
house clause authorizing obliteration

It was predicted that hundreds would
be present.
Bailey started bis speech by declar
ing, "Something must be done or what
the government will not take from us
in taxes, labor will take from us in
wages."
The ultra society folk annlanded
his statement.
He characterized president Wilson
as a nice, highly educated gentleman

Electric Disturbance In Earth

Tb disturbance was noticed In El

E. Stratton. general manager of the
Trl-State, asked Denver and Los An
geles if they were experiencing trou

"1 never saw It happen before." said
Mr Stratton. "There Is so much elec

they have been showing from 45 to ISO

The president sent chairman Xodg
the informal draft of the league of
nations.
The original American draft of the
league of nations covenant sent to the
foreign relations committee today by
president Wilson contains several pro
visions widely differing from the
league covenant as adopted at Paris.
The much debated provisions of
article 10 of the present cove
nant for arnaranieelng' the terri
torial Integrity of the league
members Is almost Identical with
a clause In the American draft.
The latter was as follows:
"The contracting powers undertake
to respect and to protect against ter
ritorial aggression the political inde
pendence and territorial Integrity of
all states members of the league."
Many of the arbitration provisions
are virtually the same In the two
drafts. The American draft also con
tained the plant finally adopted for a
council and a larger assembly and em
bodied a disarmament program sim
ilar to that In the final covenant It
also provided for an economic boycott
of caveaant breakers
' Ke Withdrawal provision.
The American plan eontatced so
provisions for withdrawal from mem
bership and made no reference to the
Monroe doctrine. It also contained a
provision, not finally accepted, under
which the league would "inquire Into
the feasibility of abolishing compul
sory military service."
There also as a provision In the
American plan, omitted from the final
draft, which would declare It a "fun-
oamentai covenant tnat no power
shopld overstep international agree
ments for rights on the high seas.
