New Hog Price Mark

CHICAGO, July 7.—After breaking the high price record three times last week the hog market today continued its upward course. New top quotations were established at $22.40 a hundred weight as against an average cost of 521.58 on Thursday, since when there has been no trading until this morning. Sensational advances in the price of corn took place today, largely owing tq the steep ascent in the value of hogs. The sharpest ascent of corn was for the July delivery which made a nearly vertical jump of 7 to $1.94 a bushel. It was said manufcaturers were able to dispose of corn products on a basis equal to more than $2.00 a bushel for corn. v PHONB TRIBUNE YOUR WANT ADS.

actually dying of pneumonia in the camps because of lack of proper clothing and blankets and General Goethals assumed the duties of quartermastergeneral only on condition he should have free scope in the performance of his duties unhampered by the eouncil of national defense.

"Immediately he took from -the membership of that council their power to order purchases and fix prices and soon dispensed with the services of those members of the advistory commission who had so deplorably bungled the control of supplies for the army."

Judge Gary advised the advisory commission, Mr. Graham said, that It was operating in disregard of the Sherui law, the Clayton law and "all other statutes that are supposed tc regulate business, particularly big business*." The attorney-general, Mr. Graham said, ^hen called upon by the commission to reply to Judge Gary, answered that the matters referred to as violations- of law, "were matters of national policy rather than legal question." "Afterwards,"

Mr.

Graham declared,

when there was evidently a discussion in congress as to the illegality of members of the committee OH tjie council buying from themselves, the council discussed this general policy and it was suggested that tnis embarrassment might be removed by tho plan of the committee reorganization i ne^r under consideration.*

How War Board Was Created. "The minutes show that on aocount of this so-called embarrassment the war industries board was created, and committees were appointed by the national chamber of commerce, so the letter of the law might be complied with, but by which scheme no part of the method of the buying was changed in the slightest degree, so fas as I can observe."

Citing cases in which hfc said the council formulated legislation before war was declared, which legislation later was considered by congress, Mr. Graham declared that on February 15, 1917, the council discussed the draft system and considered a report from Commissioners Samuel Gompers and Howard E. Coffin relative to the exclusion of labor for. military service on the same day recommended that Herbert Hoover be employed by tho government in connection with food control,^and on March 8, endorsed the daylight saving scheme and recommended a federal censorship of the press. ... ..

Aided the Manufacturers. "About the first thing the commission did was to take up the matter of arranging an easy method, ©f communication between the manufacturers and the government," Mr. Graham continued. "This method consisted of having the representatives of various businesses, producing goods which the government would have to buy, form themselves into committees so they might be able to sell to the government direct. "W"iien war was declared, the machinery began to move. "Although this scheme was supposed to enable the industries to deal with the government as one man, the government was at no time aole to deal with the industries through one man and on the contrary, throughout the war numerous federal bureaus were bidding against each other for the same supplies^ with greatly increased cost to the government.

English Lad Wanted,

Country and He Did*

GARDEN CITY, N. Y., July 7.—^. W. Ballantyne, a rigger, a member of the R-34 crew, was told a few days before the dirigible hopped off that he would not be taken on tho flight. Ballantyne, a prize fighter before he enlisted, went to the head coxswain and learned that it was necessary to lighten by three men and that he was one of the "unlucky ones." Tho way he changed his luck wa» told ia this way by the stowaway: "I'd worked 'ard, I 'ad, bloody 'ard on the bally blimp byt that didn't matter so much. You see, I'd never seen America, 'ad my 'art placed on it, and my mind, too. So I sneaks out a bit before midnight, about two hours before the R-34 left Scotland. I 'ides in the rigging. 2\o qh& «lw me and we're oft.

"When the balloon was about 200 feet up I changes my position to a more comfortable one. I 'Id between the gas bags, No. 4 and No. 7, at the stern of the ship. "When We were about sixty miles out Sergt. Watson stumbles over my 'ed, and of course he takes me to the 'ed coxswain. The officers couldn't do nothing then and I saw one of 'em smile, so I kno'd I'd see the land where they pay $100,000 for a man to get in the ring for three rounds. "I'd like to take on someone at 126 pounds. There is a little 'ouse in England what could use the winning end of the purse. I'm only going to be 'ere a day or so, but maybe some American could fix it for me."

COW ASKED It PAVE CITY STREET

A petition to have the county commissioners pave a city street was presented before the hoard Monday morning by Attorney Daniel Miller, acting in behalf of residents living in the south part.of the city. The street called for extends from the Prairieton road north on Second to Ohiojstreets.

The procedure of asking county officials to pave city street is claimed to be a trifle irregular and it was suggested that the matter be taken up with officials of the city. The commissioners, however, will let the petition take Its usual course, but it was said it more than likely will be denied when officially brought before the board for final consideration.

CASE IS CONTINUED.

The case of David Humphrey, driver of the jitney, which crashed Into Ike Silverstein's auto at Sixth and Cherry streets, Saturday night, was called in City Court, Monday morning, but was continued without any,evidence being heard. Humphrey asked the continuance of the case on the grounds that his principal witness w-as in the hospital at present. Several people were badly shaken up, and Frank Popoff serioualy injured in the collision.

throughout the nighi and caused Major Scott to return to the field early today to distribute the water ballast in the bag to bring her to an even keel again. Adjustments of the ballast had to be accomplished before the heat of the sun caused,the gas in the bag to expand.

Crew Reports at 1 p. m. The officers of the crew who scattered soon after their arrival yesterday to nearby hotels and to New York were ordered to report at 11 a. m. today, while others were at liberty until 1 o'clocH. Other members of the crew Wlio remained here last night explained that the failure of the R-34 to feceive proper weather reports caused her to run into two storms off New Foundland. The weather reports picked up were from the vicinity of the Azores islands, while those from the North Atlantic region were very meager. With reports telling of the storm some 200 miles north by northeast of New Foundland, the R-34, it was said, would have altered her course and avoided the storm.

A weather report received at the field from Washington early today said: "The weather will become clear by Monday morning and remain clear during succeeding 48 hour*, Wind will be west and northwest, steady and will not exceed twenty miles per hour. Advise time of return trip so that forecast can be made accordingly."

All persons other than thorfe on duty in the immediate vicinity of the K-34 were ordered from the field about 9 o'clock last night and a guard was set' about the air monster. Visitors, who thronged the outer field some yards from the airship, paid no heed to the rain and mud to get a glimpse of her. Automobile parties left the dry enclosures of their machines and in many instances fashionably gowned women disregarded possible injury to their clothing to see the first dirigible to cross the Atlantic. Even after dark autoists continued to arrive? as did cyclists and pedestrians. Visitors were permitted on the field outside the 200-yard limits again today and from the large number of early arrivals even greater crowd* than ye»terdajr were expected during the day.

Freeman,

Associated with Paul Block, 1 ne.^ New York, Chicago, Detroit, Jrii-si-•ton. •,

In one of my former articles I mentioned briefly the fact that the Centenary Celebration, Columbus, exhibited in the Oval Amphitheatre, where fifty thousand people are seated comfortable THE LARGEST SCREEN IN THE WORLD, taking up a space 133x135 feet—also that a projecting machine "—the most powerful in the world threw picture slides of size £05 feet square on this screeru You cannot realize what a remarkable thing this is unless you see it but more remarkable than the ^screen itself, or the size of the* pictures thow 11. IS THE CHARACTER OF THE PICTURES DISPLAYED.

I saw these i tu e s shown on Friday night,

June 27th, for the first time—and the thousands of people who

saw

the pic

tures also, judging from their expressions of approval, •lectrlfled them as much as they did me and, furthermore, th« Contrast of the pictures shown •tamped indelibly on our mindi the great transformation that tnkes place when human kindness 1* employed to elevate un* fortunate humanity. They tell mo that some student#

tot the Ohio State University, which Is a considerable distance from the State Fair Grounds, Columbus, where the Centenary Celebration Is being held—saw very distinctly the other night the pictures shown on this great screen. Thev marveled at them and enjoyed them Just as we who were close by marveled at them and enjoyed them. Some startling phrase# were thrown on the screen. Among them were the following:

"There are enough boys and girls lfteen years or hro in the to make six rations as

aK« in tlu

under fifteen world to large as the United States. Six hundred million and not an indl*

divual over fifteen years old." •"Dr. Speer calls Chili a 'killing ground for little children.' Sev-enty-five to eighty per cent of the children die under two years of age and the general rate of mortality is nearly double that of Europe." "Hair the world is illiterate and unable to read or write a word in any language. The church le helping solve this problem by hef •, great program of education. Startling facts, are they not? Don't you see the great need of the work to be done .in fornisrtt lands by the Methodist organizii* tion and all 1 other organizations? As ex-Prpsident Taft said in hie remarkable speech in the Coliseum. where the Centenary Pelebratlon stages wonderful events besides the r.RKAT PAGEANT that attracts nightly aeventy-flv# hundred people— "Did God give us the wonderful opportunities we have and the great blessings and prosperity w# enjoy here to he selfish, or did He thus endow us so that we mifrht help all of the peoples of the world The pictures shown oj the biff screen portray in the most ef» fective way, the great advancement made in developing the peoples in foreign lands, mental* ly, morally and physically. Surely all red-blooded Americans^ enjoyiner the great privileges of life to a greatpr degree than the people of any other nation in the-* world, wish to share their advantages with others. They have demonstrated this desire In their liberal support of the Centenary cause—and all other causes, having the same bfg purpose in view. During the remainder of the Centenary Celebration the great moving picture companies of America ar« to occasionally show their productions In the «n-» larked form demonstrated by the great, projecting machine developed by the Centenary man-» ajrement for this special occasion. This will be an unusual thliiK to do—something never before at* tempted by the Motion Picture people I wonder if you know that scientists told the Centenary management that It would be impossible to ever throw a picture on a screen 1 f5 feet square-r-vet the thinp: .was accomplished after constant practice. For many months this projecting machine was used in. displaying pictures on a larsre building in Orameroy park, New York—and scientists laughed, Just as senffprg scoffed when the first American missionaries went to foreiern lands determined to do what they could to help the people of those countries. The Centenary Celebration furnishes indisputable evidence In the power of man when directed by a great purpose, to accomplish anything that !a worth while. You must see this wonderful exposition and become enthused about it and absorbed with it as I have been—and then you will have no regret.
