INFORMATION IS SENT OFFICIALS

IN OHia PROBE Public Gives Evidence of High Food Prices Conspiracies Are Charged. COLUMBUS. Ohio. July 29. All eorts of scattered bits of information are reaching those who are In charge of the coming state Inquires into alleged unreasonable high and oppressive prices. Some of these morsels are serious and some have even a comic side. For Instance, a story was brought to the Capitol today to the effect that In Columbus one man has the duty of fixing price of doughnuts, and ays each day whether they are to be "a nickle apiece, two for a nickle or three for a dime." There are tales that men with stands on the market are kept inform

ed as to retail prices, and a reduc

tion by one brings a visitation upon him by a committee, denouncing him

for having sold more cheaply, when,

as they say: "You know It is to be higher." Along with other suspected proll

teers, the hotel men are said to be for an inquiry Into their business. There Is a growing desire to know why they can maintain the same prices each day, never be one moment late in makine Increases in prices, and still

have no understanding.

The Attorney-General probably will

ask Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys to make some comparisons and seek facts, to ascertain whether there are "understandings" or agreements to fix prices, which amount to conspiracies against the law.

Loss of $3,990.78 is shown In the operation of the Richmond Standard Manufacturing company, during the receivership of E. M. Campneld, by the auditor's report, submitted Tuesday to Judge Bond, of the Wayne circuit court. The report covers the business done by the company from August 6. 1918. to May 17, 1911. during which time Mr. Campneld was receiver of the company. According to the auditor's statement, much difficulty was confronted In making a complete and intelligent

statement of the affairs or tne com

Extravagant Buying Leads to Cashing of War Saving Stamps

Between $S,000 and $9,000 worth of War Savings stamps have been cashed in through the Richmond postoffice during the month of July, Postmaster C. B. Beck said Tuesday. A

family of four, in which each memberj

; celd the maximum amount, $1,000, in

stamps, has cashed in the entire holding, and so in one week the postoffice is compelled to pay out $4,000. Profiteering, which has caused prices to rise higher than the salary of the

average person, and the general wave!

of extravagance, are blamed by the postmaster for the action of many government security holders. Prices Increased "There should be more conservative tuying," said Beck. "I know one ar

Some difference Is shown In the statement made by the auditor and that made by Campfleld on May 17. 1919, as his final report, but this is due, according to the statement, to the fact that that Campfield's statement

was made from estimates, while thei

auditor's report was made from actual amounts shown on the books. Costs Under Discussion. Operating costs promise to be a subject of considerable discussion, as several items under this head are questioned by stockholders of the insolvent company. These Include office expenses. Including rent, hire of stenographer and the like for Campfield's office uptown, away- from the factory. The report also shows lump sums for expense of trips to Dayton and Indianapolis, without giving a de

tailed statement of these expenses. The present worth of the receivership is given by the report as $22,789.49. while Its worth in August, 1918. at the time Campfleld was appointed receiver, was $26,780.27. The total assets of the company are given in the report as $25,821.15 and the total liabilities $22,789.49 No action has been taken by the court on the report of the auditor, and the Judge would not say Tuesday whether the report made by Campfleld last May would be accepted or not, as a result of the audit.

$6 above its pre-war price, and persons are paying the price asked without questioning. "If present prices continue, and the working man and small salaried man are compelled to pay out all their income for necessities, it means that in a few years from now we are going to face an industrial crisis that will require years to straighten out.

"There is plenty of money now, and everybody has a job. If there should be a slump this winter, and work become scarce, it would mean that all the money would be in the hands of the banks and the wealthier men and stagnation will result.

"People should look into the future, and invest their money in War Savings stamps or other government securities, where it will be safe, and available when they need it." Buy Wild Cat Stocks Many persons who are cashing in their War Savings stamps are doing so in order to invest In unstable stocks where a larger per cent of interest has been offered, the postmaster says.

"They don't stop to consider the

safety of the Investment," he pointed cut. "Wildcat stocks with a high rate

of interest mean a loss to the investor

in the end."

A few persons are drawing out their

money to build homes, and the postmaster declares that this is commend

r.ble and that such action should not

be discouraged.

REPORT DECLARES

The name of Oliver P. Morton, the

great war governor of Indiana during

the civil war, and a native of Center-' ville, has been suggested by L. Homer Schepman, 242 South Eighth street, for the local post of the American legion. "Morton was one of the honored sons of old Wayne, of Indiana, and his country," says Schepman. "He gave of his best in the darkest hours of our nation, that our great and glorious union might be preserved and the curse of slavery be forever a byword and a memory. "In like manner our brave and noble boys gave of their best, even to the supreme sacrifice, that the world might enjoy a freedom like ours and forever be rid of autocracy, militarism and their attendant evils. "If Oliver Morton were alive today, he would fgeel honored to have his name adopted by this post and you may also feel proud to have your names go down in history by the side of one which is justly honored by county, state and nation." "World War Winner" Thomas Duckworth suggests Wayne's World War Winners, for the county legion. "The initials make four W's or in other words, Wayne's Big Four," says Duckworth. Madge Chessman, of Hagerstown,

suggests that the name be "Legion of

Love and Loyalty; Waynes World

Warriors."

A Legion of Love, why? asks Miss

Chessman. " 'For greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.' A legion of loyalty,

why? 'For no man that putteth his

hand to the plow and looketh back is fit to enter the kingdom of heaven.' Wayne's, why? 'Ours, living and dead, forever and forever." Our World Warriors, why? 'Soldiers of the great war, world wide, heroes of the greatest conflict ever fought.' " MURRAY BILL POPULAR

Americans Try To Sell Motor Cars, Say Hans (By Associated Press) BERLIN. Monday. July 28. The Deusche Zeitnng, claims that the Americans in the occupied territory are attempting to sell their own and the balance of the army's huge stock

of automobiles by smuggling them into Germany through the occupied ter

ritory to avoid the German law against the importation of manufactured products.

The newspaper says that if the

Americans succeed in selling a quan

tity it will ruin the German automobile industry, although in the same

paragraph it belittles the quality of

American cars and warns Germans

that they are liable to prosecution if they buy them.

An automobile containing Adjutant General Dickson was fired on but without damage to the occupants. An exodus of negroes to the north and west sides began as the fight was at its height.

"an" And "Boche" To Be

Discarded By Newspapers

(By Associated Tress)

LONDON .July 29. Discussing

things as they are soon to be if the terms of the peace treaty are to be carried out a popular weekly review has astonished some of its more radi

cal readers with the following: "Germany is now, technically, a iriendly power or soon will be. That being so we suggest that our press might with advantage discontinue its sprightly habit of using the" words 'hun' and 'boche' on all possible occasions. We shall soon aave the Ger

man embassy again occupied and it would really be deplorable if its chiefs were commonly referred to in print as the 'Hun Ambassador' or the 'Boche Diplomat.

"It is not because of our love for the German but regard of our reputation for good manners that this suggestion is made. We shall be sorry to part with 'boche.' The name was an inspiration. 'Hun' has no merit except brevity and all persons of good sense will be glad to let it go."

WASHINGTON, July 29. Ability Of

the "Big Five" packers Swift, Armour, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson to determine from day to day the general level of live stock prices was declared

Incontrovertible in the third section of the Federal Trade Commission's

report on the industry, made public

last night. Information obtained in the commiS'

sion's investigation was cited to show that the "Big Five" have an interest in twenty-eight of the fifty principal market yards of the country and a majority of voting stock in twenty-two otners. It was Baid they buy most of the live stock sold at these markets. "They discriminate against and put at a great disadvantage independent buyers who are competitors," the report said. "They manipulate on occasions the live stock market in such a way as to cause extreme and unwar

ranted fluctuations in the dally prices paid for live stock. They have eliminated many competitors and prevented new ones from coming in. They have restricted the meat supply of the nation by manipulating the daily live stock prices and thus discouraging the producers of the live stock."

ed physically if they remained within

their dominlciles. Taxicab drivers as news of the feud spread refused to take passengers into the disturbed district and residents who lived along the car lines that were stopped had long walks through the field of battle. As far as the police could learn these persons suffered no affronts If they went quietly along their way.

The various affrays owed their Initiative about equally to the two races, although the Caucasians Beemed to be the prime aggressors, the Africans starting their assaults more as counter offensives. Most of the white rioters were young men and youths with here and there a man of mature years. The police devoted much of their activity to clearing the streets of negroes, and many of the fatalities resulted from the recalcitrancy of the blacks against the order to disperse. In one crowd at Thirty-fifth street aud State street, former alderman DePrlest, a negro, was with a crowd of blacks ordered to scatter. They refused despite the pleading of the former alderman and two negro police sergeants and the officers fired into the assembly killing four and barely missing DePriest. New Negroes Blamed. A police captain In the black belt ascribed the trouble to the hoodluism

of negroes who came to Chicago during the last two years to make up the shortage in labor caused by the war. He said his experience showed that the older residents sanely refrained from such clashes, having become accustomed to the freedom allowed to blacks without turning it into license. During the night hospitals in the region became filled and doctors were all over-worked caring for the injured. A negro corpse was taken Into the es

tablishment of a white undertaker, andjj

soon a cruwu mreoieueu lu iubu me

place. News of this spread and thereafter dead negroes would not be accepted by white mortuaries. When the streets had been cleared in the negro quarter the more persistent rioters marched downtown and oought out negroes at their work. The police in three instances did not offer protection to the blacks. One band entered a restaurant across the street from the city hall, wrecked part of the furnishings, dragged a cowering porter from the kKchen and beat him unconscious with a five gallon bottle. Afterwards several bluecoats arrived and dispersed the crowd. ' Governor Lowden before turning back to hlp stop the riots, telegraphed the following appeal: "I appeal to all citizens, white and colored, to obey the law. There are no wrongs committed by either race that cannot be better redressed through the orderly processes of law than by mob violence. "The entire power of the state wift be used to restore order and to punish those guilty of lawlessness. It is time for all good citizens, white or colored, to aid the authorities in every way possible to uphold the law."
