CARLOADS OF POTATOES ROT

Chicago, June 4.—Federal agents discovered sixteen carloads of potatoes rotting on a side-track at Seatonville, Illinois. Hington G. Qlabaugh, special investigator for the department of justice, reported this today. He would not divulge who owned the potatoes nor on what railroad they were found, but intimated that further investigation and probably criminal action will follow. The discovery was made while the government was investigating the continued closure of a coal mine near the town.
