sumer Bears Burden.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 17 Reports to
the Department of Justice tell of the
creation of artificial food prices all
along the line. A District Attorney in
Texas reported that granulated sugar
had risen from J4.60 to 57. &u per Hun
dredweight since a week ago; Swiss
cheese from 25 cents to 38 cents; flour
from .4.76 to J5.10; beef ribs from 18
to 21 cents per pound; sirloin from 28
to 32 cents; pork loin from 18 to to
cents, and smoked ham from 20 to
22 cents. The District Attorney sug
gested that small consumers are
charged even higher prices than ho
tels and hestaurants.
Hokb Dmn, Dressed Meats I P-
A letter to the Attorney-General
from the manager of one of the larg
est livestock commission companies in
the West reported that, while hogs de
clined in Chicago 51 per hundred
pounds and cattle declined 65 to 86
cents per hundred pounds, dressed prod
ucts to the consumer advanced sev
eral cents a pound.
"The packers claimed that reduc
tions were made on account of fi
nancial conditions and money strin
gency," he wrote, "but I don't know
what excuse they gave for advancing
the dressed article. There Is little
beef or pork exported."
More Special Aajents Detailed.
Additional special agents of the De
partment of Justice were dispatched
today to Cleveland, Providence, Bal
timore, Pittsburg and Buffalo to assist
In the nation-wide investigation of the
increased price of foodstuffs.
United States District Attorneys all
over the country have begun inquiries
and in many places grand juries al
ready are at work. At Buffalo, John
L O'Brien, the District Attorney, will
direct special efforts to ascertain the
cause of the rise in the cost of flour.
Fred Robertson, District Attorney at
ToDeka, Kan., reported today that "the
unusual circumstance of wheat going
down on the market and the price of
flour going up has stood out promi
nently in the Kansas City dally news
papers for several days past." He is
investigating.
SAX FRANCISCO INQUIRY WIDE
Grand Jury to Investigate Every
Known Increase In Price.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17. (Spe
cial.) John W. Preston United States
District Attorney, discussed before the
Federal grand Jury today the increased
prices of foodatuffs. which dealers at
tribute to the European crisis. The
formal hearings will begin Thursday.
Proceeding under the Sherman anti
trust act, forbidding combinations in
restraint of trade, and backed by the
orders of President Wilson and Ator-ney-General
McReynolds at Washing
ton, Mr. Preston is moving to carry
the inquiry into every branch of trade
in which the cost to the retailer and
ultimate consumer has been Increased.
"If I find it necessary," said the
District Attorney, "I will hold special
sessions of the grand Jury. Our pre
liminary hearing will be principally
of an educational character, for the
purpose of enlightening the grand
jury and this office Into the manner
in which prices are raised and as to
the real causes for the Increase. We
will seek to discover who is directly
responsible for these gains and what
body of men, if any, combine in this
direction.
"In the case of the rapid increase
In sugar, for instance, it would seem
that the prices are fixed daily at a
uniform rate, evidently by certain per
sons who hold a high position in the
trade."
The District Attorney will subpena
the heads of several large sugar re
fining companies, transportation com
panies, importers and wholesale grocers.

CANAD BUYING PLAN ASKED
Chicago May Adopt Scheme to Check
Food Price Increases.
CHICAGO. Aug. 17. The United States
Government's experience in supplying
food at cost to residents of the Panama
Canal Zone was invoked here today to
help the city solve the increased living
problem. The Chicago Municipal Mar
kets Commission, after a public session
attended by representatives of civic so
cieties, women's leagues and heads of
all city departments, sent a telegram
to Colonel Goethals asking information
as to the methods of maintenance and
operation employed by the subsistence
department of the canal zone.
The Commission also asked Colonel
Goethals to inform them by wire the
prices the Government is now charging
on all staples, meats and vegetables
and milk.
The Commission also telegraphed to
President Wilson expressing gratitude
for the promptness with which he at
tempted to bring relief from unwar
ranted food prices.
Resolutions were adopted ordering
the establishment of at least five mu
nicipal markets in the most thickly
populated sections, and recommending
the passage of a special ordinance by
which to punish combines, pools and
trusts which have taken advantage of
the war to raise prices.
James H. Wllkerson, United States
District Attorney, said witnesses would
be called before the grand Jury Wednes
day. "Information was revealed to me to
day." he said, "that has led me to be
lieve that there has been a conspiracy
on the part of the many corporations
to take advantage of the war situation.
"My conference with the packers to
day was brief. Nothing in their report
would indicate a conspiracy, but tho
inquiry shall be prosecuted to the
fullest,"
New Jersey Will Investigate.
TRENTON, N. J, Aug. 17. Governor
Fielder today directed Attorney-General
Westcott and the 21 County Prose
cutors of the state, to investigate every
combination that might exist in New
Jersey to increase the price of food.
The Governor declares that If there is
any combination among speculators
and dealers to raise food prices such
combination may be prosecuted under
the anti-trust laws of this state.
New Schedule to Begin October
Puts Craft Out of Willamette Be
fore Dark Shortening of Lay
over Time Here Pending.
Among changes the San Francisco &
Portland Steamship Company will make
to facilitate the Winter schedule- from
Portland to California ports is setting
back of the sailing hour of vessels from
this end of the line from 4 to 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. The Summer schedule,
which provides for their departure at
9 o'clock in the morning, ends with the
dispatch of the steamer Rose City Sep
tember 29. The Bear will sail at 3
o'clock October 3.
More Daylltrht Gained.
Copies of the new schedule reached
the Portland office of the fleet yester
day from General Manager Blair at
San Francisco. One reason assigned
for the change is that by getting away
from here an hour earlier the "Big
Three" steamers will be out of the Wil
lamette River and into the Columbia
before dark, thereby getting a favor
able start. At times during the busy
Winter shipping season other vessels
pass in the Willamette, and officers of
the liners feel that avoiding narrow
turns in darkness also will be an ad
vantage. On leaving Portland the vessels must
proceed under slow bell to the city line.
and make only eight miles an hour from
there to the dock of the Associated Oil
Company at Linnton. This procedure
makes little daylight available in short
days in which to reach the Columbia.
Lay-Over Chana-e Pend.
Consideration of a plan to shorten the
lay-over of steamers at this end of the
run by one day has not resulted in a
definite schedule yet. It is supposed
that officials of the company have tem
porarily postponed action until the 1915
season. By that time it will have been
demonstrated what effect the new Hill
steamers, Great Northern and Northern
Pacltlc, ' has on the "Big Three" busi
ness, and at the same time heavy travel
expected then on account of the San
Francisco exposition may warrant u
different arrangement.

British steamer Cloughton has reached
San Francisco with a corn cargo from
Buenos Ayres and is leoked for here

MONMOUTHSHIRE NOT AT SEA
Royal Mail Steamer's Reported De
parture From Japan Erroneous.
In a cablegram received from Yoko
hama yesterday it was set forth pos
itively that the Royal Mail liner Mon
mouth3hire did not sail from there
last week and that she was yet in
port, awaiting orders. A message to
the Canadian Pacific line headquarters
a few days ago reported her departure.
A copy arrived of the Monmouth
shire's manifest, showing cargo she
worked at Hongkong for Portland,
consisting of 691 bales of gunnies
100 bags of sugar, 14 packages of
rattan furniture, 2o packages of paper
vnd 2o cases of cassia. When she sails
from Yokohama depends on how soon
the Pacific is cleared of German ves
sels. In the event Japan becomes in
volved at an early date, it is believed
British vessels will attempt to cross
to the Pacific Coast without fear.

TIMID ONES DELAY VOYAGES
Agent Says Yankee Ships Are Per
fectly Secure Along Coast.
All travelers do not appreciate the
fact vessels flying the Stars and Stripes
are immune from interference in the
present trouble and some are fearful
that Ihe good old U. S. A. cannot pro
tect them along the Coast, says Frank
Bollam. Portland agent for independent
passenger ships, who reports that the
presence of German cruisers off the
Coast has driven a few prospective
travelers either to defr trips or go
south by train.
"Reports that passenger steamers
actually have been held up on the
Coast are unfounded." said Mr. Bollam.
"As a matter of fact. It Is expected
that officers of naval vessels on the
lookout for those of the enemy will
satisfy themselves as to passing ships,
but there is certainly no danger or ne
cessity for coasters being intefered
with."
FUSIBLE PLUGS INCREASED
Steamboat Inspectors Take Addi
tional Precantlons.
Owners and engineers of vessels in
this district, also all manufacturers of
fusible plugs, are being notified from
the office -of United States Inspectors
Edwards and Fuller of a new ordei
from the board of supervising Inspec
tors requiring three fusible plugs in
each boiler, instead of but one plug,
as in the past, and each plug must be
of bronze casting, filled with pure
Banca tin.
Firebox, Scotch and other types of
shell boilers come under the new reg
ulation. In placing three plugs in the
crownsheet of the combustion cham
ber one is to be fitted about 12 inches
inboard on each end of the crown and
one in the center. Besides, plugs must
be renewed after four months' of serv
ice, while in the past a plug was per
mitted to remain in place a year. Plugs
must stand at least one inch above
the plate on the water side.

Craft Designed and Built by Joseph
Supple May Go on Flavel-Astorla
Run Temporarily.
One of the staunchest gasoline ves
sels of the river passenger type yet
turned out is nearing completion at
the yard of Joseph Supple, and goes
on the Ilwaco-Fort Canby run as soon
as a Government appropriation is avail
able for a resumption of the north
Jetty operations. In advance of that
time probably she will ply between As
toria and Flavel, as work on the Hill
docks at the latter point is counted
on to develop considerable freight and
passenger business.
Mr. Supple designed the vessel, which
has a length of 72 feet and beam of 18
feet. Being the "tunnel" hull type, she
draws but 30 Inches of water, though
her wheel has a diameter of 56 Inches
and on her trial here a speed of 16
miles was reeled off. She is equipped
with an engine of 125 horsepower.
Being intended for daylight travel,
the vessel has a large cabin forward of
the engineroom and one aft, while on
the upperdeck another cabin is located
aft of the pilothouse. It was hoped
to have the craft in readiness for the
latter part of the Summer season be
cause of the number of North Beachers
who journey to Fort Canby to view
the Jetty work, as well as inspect other
Government plans there, but cessation
of work on the Jetty owing to the de
lay in passing he river and harbor
bill altered the programme.
Several small vessels are at the Sup
ple yard for repairs and overhauling,
but it is said European war conditions
have delayed new construction, as some
enterprises hinging or. expected in
creased shipping here with the opening
of the canal are not to be carried out
until it Is determined what effect war
will have on the trade.
