FOOD TRUST WAR ON
M'REYNOLDS ORDERS COUNTRY
WIDE INVESTIGATION OF COLD
' 8TORAGE COMBINE.
PROSECUTION TO FOLLOW
Attorney General Points to Cost of
Eggs and Attempt of Dealers to
Ward Off Inquiry by Slashing
Prices Bills Ready (nongress.
Washington, Nov. 26. The admlnis-'
tration's first attack on the food trust
was taken on Monday when Attorney
General McReynolds issued orders for
a countrywide investigation of the
cold-storage combine which is be
lieved to be responsible for the pres
ent high price cf eggs.
In addition, several" bills are before
congress; 'and early action regulating
the cold-storage combine is expected.
The Investigation ordered by Attor
ney General McReynolds will extend
Into every Judicial district where
there are federal officials. They are
to get complete figures and all the
other evidence obtainable bearing on
the charge that cold-storage men are
withholding eggs and other food prod
ucts from the market in an .effort to
raise and sustain prices.
The investigators will report on the
number of eggs in storage, the price
at which they -went In storage, the
length of tliae stored, and the price
at which they were sold when taken
out They will ascertain also approxi
mately the number of eggs produced
in their respective districts.
, "I want to know the inside of this
thing," said the attorney general. He
Is already in ' possession of informa
tion showing some attempts on the
part of the cold-storage houses to cor
ner the egg and vegetable supply in
their communities. As showing that
the cold-storage people admit they
have plenty to fear, it was stated at
the department of Justice that some
dealers had dropped egg prices In the
hope - that the investigation . might be
averted.
If the investigation of the depart
ment sustains the evidence already
brought to the. attention of the attor
ney general he will bring prosecutions
both under the pure-food law and the
anti-trust act Dealers selling eggs
out of storage for fresh eggs can be
reached under the ' pure-food act for
alleged misbranding.
"There Is no doubt that the cold
storage of eggs is responsible for their
high prices," said Senator Bristow.
"The eggs which we are now eating
at 45 and 60 cents a dozen were
bought for 18 and 20 cents by the cold
storage warehouses. -The tariff law
has proved a fake, so far as eggs are
concerned. .The cold-storage houses
may. be able to buy eggs a few cents
cheaper per dozen because of ' the
tariff reduction, but I don't see that
the consumers are getting them any
cheaper."

REBELS ARE VICTORS
MANY CAPTIVES ARE EXECUTED
BY GEN. VILLA'S TROOPS
FOLLOWING BATTLE.
FAMOUS GENERAL IS S.LAIN?
Salazar Reported to Have Been Killed
in Battle With Rebels Appeal Is
Made to American Red Cross for
Aid by Constitutionalists.
El Paso, Tex., Nov. 27. Following
fighting 24 hours in front of Juarez,
the rebels and federals hold virtually
the same territory they held on Tues
day; If anything, the federals have
been driven a Jit fruther from the goal
now held and being defended by ' the
rebels.
General Villa claims a complete vic
tory over the federals and sent the fol
lowing message to his office m Juarez
from his position at the front:
"I communicate with satisfaction
that we have completely routed the
enemy. We took all his artillery and
three trains. The federals are in full
and shameless flight" . ,
(Signed)' '.' I PANCHO VILLA.
: A wounded rebel officer brought to
Juarez on Tuesday on a Red Cross
train is authority for the statement
that thirty or forty of Saiazar's federal
volunteers, captured in the fighting
before Zaragosa, were brought before
General Villa, who ordered them exe
cuted in the field, the order being car
ried out at once.
' Many rebels are wearing federal
uniforms and overcoats taken from
prisoners, who were made to strip be
fore standing up to be shot In order
that the clothing would not be dam
aged by the death-dealing bullets.
Even the shoes were taken off their
feet so that they would not be
spoiled. The men had been cut off
from the main body and taken after
a desperate fight A number of them
were wounded; but, knowing the fate
that would befall them in case they
were captured by Villa, did all In
their power to escape falling into the.
hands of his men.
General Rodriguez, the commander
of the right wing, who was wounded
in the fighting before Bauche, but
who refused to retire, was brought
to Juarez for treatment and reported
to Colonel Medina. The jefe. las
armas declares that It is beyond doubt
that General Salazar, who ' . was
hemmed In at Zaragosa by an over
whelming force of rebels, has . been
killed and his army of 2,000 men all
but annihilated.
General Rodriguez was succeeded
in command of the rebel right by Gen
eral Ortega.
Gen. Porfirio Talamantes, leader of
the Sonora troops fighting under Vil
la's banner, was killed In the fight
ing south of Tierra Blanca. His body
was brought to Juarez and buried
with military honors.
News was received at the Cuartel
General that the squadron of rebels
which so mysteriously appeared on
the scene Zaragora and drove off
the reinforcements , that had been
sent to relieve Saiazar's command,
were from Coahulla, under the com
mand . of Colonel Agulles, and were
not a part of Gen. Tomas Urbina's
column' of 3,000 men said to be ap
proaching from the south.
Colonel Urblna was not expected to
arrive in the vicinity of Juarez until
Thursday. After the fighting he sent
a messenger to Clint Tex., who noti
fied headquarters in Juarez of his ar
rival in the nick of time 'to save the
left wing from probable defeat
At Zaragoza the fighting had ceased
entirely, according to reports tele
phoned from Ysleta. It was said that
a mounted man who arrived in that
town and who said that though he was
a noncombatant he had witnessed the
whole fighting, had reported that Sa
iazar's command had been practically
wiped out
. Shortly after noon a hospital ' train
bearing 22 wounded and three dead
and a number of women and children,
camp followers of the rebel army, ai1
rived In Juarez. The wounded were
taken to the military hospital for treat
ment There are now 100 wounded in
Juarez. 1
Juan N. Medina of the constitution-
alist forces has sent an apepal for the
assistance of the American Red Cross
in caring for the wounded. Some
nurses have been sent to the front but
there is need of more and for medi
cines and bandages.
Pancho Villa was in the thickest of
the fight near Mesa, according to men
arriving on the train from the front
at noon. His officers are said to be en
deavoring to Induce him to remain in
the rear, but he persists in leading
the principal movements' in the
center.

I Of Interest to Veterans.
- Such articles as false teeth, canes,
crutches, a pair of women's corsets
and a man's wooden leg were found on
the place where the Ohio veterans
camped at Gettysburg during the fa
mous reunion last July, after the dis
mantling of the camp,1, and Col. Lewis
E. Beitler, secretary of the Pennsylva
nia Gettysburg commission, has writ
ten to Adjt Gen. George H. Wood to
find the owners. "If any of your vet
erans are 'shy any of these useful
commodities let me know and we will
try to fit him out" said Col. Beitler.
The lost and found department of the
commission gathered up a ton of riff
raff from the battlefield after the
50,000 or more vets had left.
Driest of Wet Counties.
Perry county is reported ' to have
been one of the driest of the wet coun
ties Sunday. For, the first time in its
history the saloons were closed on
that day there. In the mining towns,
where saloons have always been in
full blast on Sunday, the word was re
ceived that the foreigners were drink
ing ice water there. The only place in
the state where there were any serious
violations of the new license law was
at Cincinnati, where a number of ar
rests were made for Sunday Selling.
The offenders were saloonists who
were not licensed, and the explanation
given was that they had kept open in
order to dispose of their stock.
Eats Soap and Fools Officials.
Joseph H. Cromwell, who was re
leased from the penitentiary by former
Gov. Harmon In 1911 upon representa
tion that he was. dying from consump
tion, Is back in the big prison again.
By eating soap he fooled the officials
into thinking he had the disease and
was in imminent danger of ' death.
Soon after he obtained his liberty he
conducted a religious campaign at
Troy, and later called at the office of
the . prosecuting attorney and said
that he Intended to become an evan
gelist When he left the prosecutor's
Office a typewriter was missed. It was
found in Denver, where Cromwell had
sold it. Cromwell was brought back
to Troy, and he resorted to the soap
eating dodge again. He was given 18
months' suspended sentence for theft.
He violated his probation by being ar
rested for larceny. For this reason
he was sent to the penitentiary to
serve out his sentence.
Must File Annual Statements.
Law library associations which get
funds from fines in police court cases
and fees from higher courts and have
been paying no attention to the law re-
quiring annual statement's of receipts
and disbursements to be made will be
compelled to' comply with the require
ments of the statutes hereafter. Un
der a new law their accounts will be
examined by the state accounting bu
reau, and if looseness is found it will
be shown up. A year ago a shortage
of $1.4,000 was discovered in the ac
counts of the Franklin county associa
tion. There had never been any ex
amination of its books. Investigation
of these associations will start soon. .
Make More Appointments Soon.
. Gov. Cox is almost ready to an
nounce the final batch of deputy state
tax commissioner appointments. These
are to be made for 19 counties. The
appointments have been agreed upon
for all but three or four counties.
'There are bitter factional fights on

Mahoning and Marion counties, and no
Epidemic of Smallpox.

there is a serious epidemic at the
state school for the deaf. 'Eight
cases of smallpox have developed
there. As a result of this a general
order for vaccination has been issued
by the city health department All
persons presenting themselves ' for
vaccination will be given the treat

State Factory Inspector Reports.
Children who quit school and go to
work would be compelled to attend
"continuation school" part of each
week, and their employers would have
to provide time for them to attend, if
Thomas P. Kearns of Dayton, state
factory inspector has his way. In his
annual report, filed with Gov. Cox, he
recommends that a law be passed mak
ing it compulsory for boys between
the ages of 15 and 18 and girls be
tween 16 and 18, to continue their

Hog Cholera May Spread.
Unless there is centralized action
against the spread of hog cholera, the
losses that will result from this dis
ease throughout the nation will be in
estimable during the next few years,
is the opinion of members of the state
agricultural commission. The best
centralized action to be had would be
that in which the United States gov
ernment would play the leading part,
the commissioners aver, and they
have written to several national fig
ares, including the two United States
Senators from Ohio,
little trouble is being experienced in
making the selections for these coun-1
ties. Immediately after all the ap- J
pointments are made arrangements
will be made to bring all the taxing
officials to Columbus, for instructions j
In their work.
Slaughter Angers Officials. '
State officials here are wrathy over
the reckless slaughter of game that has
been going on in Ohio since the new
game season opened. They hold that
the wholesale killing, particularly of
rabbits, not only has had the effect of
injuring rabbit hunting for some sea
sons to come, but also has turned
public sentiment against hunting as a
so-called sport. They declare that the
Immediate result of the slaughter
probably will be the enactment of leg.
islation that will on some way offer a
protection to the denizens of the Ohio
woods and fields from virtual extermi
nation. Laws are being suggested for
enactment that would limit the rabbit
kill to a certain number per day for
each hunter.
Suffragists' New Plan.
Woman suffrage supporters have
adopted a new and unique way of get
ting their propaganda before working
men and women of the state. They
are going to send their speakers
straight to the shops and factories to
speak directly to the workers during
the noon lunch hours. In this manner
they believe they can reach before
next year practically every available
working man and 'working woman In
the state. The new campaign already
has begun In Columbus, where the
state-wide suffrage movement is or
ganizing for the battle of next falL
Will Discuss Many Subjects.
There will be a wide range of dis
cussion on rural life and agricultural
subjects at the county farmers' Insti
tutes, which begin Dec. 1 and continue
until March 1. Thirty-seven isubjects
have been selected by the state agri
cultural commission for the lecturers
for these meetings. Lecturers are di
rected to call for a round table discus
sion of 20 minutes of at least two of
the stipulated subjects. Persons in
the audience should not talk more
than three minutes and should speak
to the point The commission sug
gests that a round table committee, be
appointed to select the subjects for
general discussion. It is suggested
that the president of the institute
should be nervy enough to shut off
discussion when long-winded speakers
use up their allotted time. Each
county will have five institutes and
each institute will last two days. The
state allows expenses for the insti
tutes. But four institutes have been
held each season heretofore. In addi
tion to the institutes conducted under
the direction of the state agricultural
commission, there will be independ
ent institutes. . The cause of agricul
ture is being urged now on a broader
and more extensive scale than ever be
fore. The topics for discussion are all
timely. Here they are:

as postmaster of that city, and will
also bring about the resignation of

planned to resign either after or
towards the close of the special legis

Creates Embarrassing Situation.
The rigid terms of the corrupt prac
tices act have created an embarrassing
situation for Mrs. Cora M. Kellogg,
one of the two women to be recently
elected to the Columbus board of edu
cation. Through her newness in poli
tics, Mrs. Kellogg was totally unac
quainted with the section of the law
which compels all candidates for office
to file a statement of their campaign
expenses within the period of 10 days
after election. Her friends forgot to

In a report Just made public by Aud
itor of State Donahey, points out that
there have been some transactions not
strictly In accord with the legal re
quirements. He says that funds have
been used tor the construction of
buildings which were not specifically
appropriated for the purpose, but be
says he has no doubt but that the
board acted In good faith in its action,
although the use of the funds created
a techinal discrepancy.
He says that the board has over
looked submitting to the governor for
approval the salaries of 12 heads ot
institutions. He also says that thi
competitive bidding law should be
more closely followed. Occasionally
the board has a chance to buy such
commodities as flour and sugar In
large quantities at bargain prices, and
when opportunity for this has oc-t
curred purchase would be made with-
out advertising for bids, hundreds oi
dollars being saved In consequence.

Asks Board Be Ousted.
Columbus. Charging that the
Wood . county election board ' was
guilty of malfeasance in refusing
to allow names to appear On party
tickets and also on a Citizens' ticket,
Ruxton S. Sweet of Bowling Green, O.,
in a complaint filed with Secretary of
State Graves, asked that the board be
removed. Secretary Graves will go to
Bowling Green to make an Investiga
tion. He has sent copies of the com
plaint to the board and has requested
that arrangements be made to have
witnesses appear before him. The
whole city is said to be aroused over
the situation growing out of the
board's course. The members of the
board whose official scalps are soifght
are Charles H. ; Draper, George M.
Brubaker, Henry Archer and George
Bickmyer, two being Democrats and
two Republicans. It is alleged that
they were influenced by partisan mo
tives In barring the names from the
ballot. '
Sweet, who filed the complaint, was
a victim of the election dispute. He
was a candidate for city auditor on
the Republican, Progressive and Citi
zens' tickets,, but was removed from
the party tickets and placed on the
Citizens' ticket without his consent, so
he alleges. The Democrats won as a
result of the board's ruling.; Several
candidates withdrew from, party tick
ets in favor of the Citizens' ticket, and
they were removed entirely from the
field of candidates on the ground that
the petitions nominating candidates on
the Citizens' ticket had not been en
tered properly. " 1
The question to be determined by
Secretary Graves is whether the board
acted in good faith. He says that he
would not have advised the course it
pursued. . .'',
