PACKERS
ACCUSED
OF "RED" FRAME-UP
Arrest of Trade Commission
Employes Scored to Solons.
LEGISLATION IS WANTED
Maneuver Designed to Prove Fed
eral Body Is "Hotbed or Bolshe
Tlsni" Charged by W. B. Colver.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. Charges
that arrests of federal trade commis
sion employes, made ln the recent de
partment of Justice campaign against
"reds," have been the result of
"frame-ups designed to build the the
ory that the commission Is a hotbed
of bolshevism," were made today by
W. B. Colver ot that body before the
senate agriculture committee. Colver
Wt the intimation that the larger
Chicago packing concerns had con
nived in some degree attain that
result, and involved Ludwig C. A. K.
Martens, self-styled "ambassador" for
the Russian soviet republic, and S.
Nuorteva, Martens' secretary, in his
account of instances to prove the
point.
Colver likewise voiced a vigorous
demand for legislrftion to regulate the
industry, need of which was proved,
he said, by the recent agreement be
tween the packers and the depart
ment of Justice in settlement of anti
trust proceedings.
To this testimony the commissioner,
added a critical analysis of state
ments and motives of witnesses who
have opposed packer regulations dur
ing the prolonged hearings of the
agriculture committee on the Kenyon
and Kendrick bills last year, con
cluding with the assertion that in the
meat industry "competition is contin
uing to lessen and monopoly to in
crease even though we exhaust the
powers of the present federal lawn
intended to restrain it."
: Instance of "Frame-up" Cited.
The first instance, the commissioner
said, of the "frame-up" had resulted
in the arrest of Rafael Mallen, a for
mer clerk for the trade commission,
in raids directed last week at Chicago
by the department of Justice. H. J. C.
Claybaugh of the secret service at
Chicago and an assistant, a "man
named Barry,'" Colver said, both of
whom have since resigned, were re
sponsible and Barry now was a "spe
cial agent" for Swift & Co. Mallen
later was released.
Johann Ohsol, another employe of
the commission, Colver said, was ar
rested in Washington this week while
on a visit to S. Nuorteva, having been
pointed out to police officers as Mar
tens, who is being sought by the
secret service. Reading an alleged
claim of Nuorteva and .Martens that
purchase of large meat supplies from
an unnamed Chicago packer had been
arranged with the object of getting
it into Russia through the allied
blockade, Colver said he considered
this connection between meat packers
and the soviet representatives "sig
nificant," as it concerned Ohsol's ar
rest, especially since the latter iad
been taken into custody when he came
to see Nuorteva in answer to a spe
cific telephone call.
Separation Is Criticised.
Reverting to the agreement pre
pared by Attorney-General Palmer in
concluding the Lherman law prosecu
tion against the packers Colver said
that merely settled the "Sherman law
phase of the matter."
"Separation . of the packers from
their grocery holdings, however, aa
in the case of the transfer, by Wilson
& Co. of its grocery business to Aus
tin Nicholls company, of New York, a
wholesale grocer," he asserted,
"merely means that the stockholders
of Wilson & Co. fhve added the Aus
tin Nicholls concern to thei.- Hold
ings." Principles incorporated in the set
tlement decree,- he urged, should be
worked out in legislation and ampli
fied. The federal trade commission
would not stop because of the settle
ment of any of its proceedings against
the packers having to do with unfair
trade practises, he said.
Dealing with persons who have
discussed regulative legislation be
fore the committee since the Kenyon
and Kendrick bills were advanced.
Colver said that out of 181 heard 144
had opposed any federal control of
the industry; many, he said, because
they had been influenced by propa
ganda from packer institutions. .
To show that the consumer was not
getting any benefit from lower, hog
prices, Colver presented, a diagram
showing that on August 1, live hogs
sold at 23 cents a pound, pork loins
sold in Boston for 34 cents, while on
October 23, when live hogs sold at
12 cents, loins sold at 37 cents in
Boston.
CHILDREN DIE IN FIRE
Two Little Ones Perish When Home

unable to rescue the children or save
any of the contents of the building.

little ones were charred almost be

NEWS LIFE IS DEMANDED
DEATH PENALTY ASKED FOR
ALLEGED SLAYER OF GIRL.
Prosecutor Asserts Only Three Dep
ositions in Hundreds Express .
Opinion of Insanity.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9. The. death
penalty for Harry New, alleged mur
derer of his fiancee, Freda Lesser, was
demanded here today by Asa Keyes,
deputy district attorney, in an argu
ment lasting almost the entire Hay be
fore the jury trying New. .
On the conclusion of Keyes' argu
ment, adjournment was taken to Mon
day. It is expected the case will not
go to the jury before Tuesday,
Keyes reviewed the evidence of wit
nesses for both sides, paying especial
attention to depositions of defense
witnesses from Indianapolis and Okla
homa City, Okla. He said that out
of the hundreds of persons who had
known New the defense had been able
to produce depositions from only
three persons who expressed a def
inite opinion New was insane.
"And." said Keyes, "don't forget
these depositions, for the most part,
were taken in Indianapolis, the home
of the defendant's father. Senator
Harry S. New of Indiana. Senator
New. is a man of influence a United
States senator. It they couldn't get
witnesses in Indianapolis to prove the
defendant insane, they couldn't get
them anywhere else."
Keyes termed the accused the "il
legitimate son of a United States sen
ator and Mrs. Lillie M. Burger, who
sits here beside the accused.'' At this
point Mrs. Burger arose and left the
courtroom.
The prosecutor vigorously denounced
New as a "cold-blooded murderer" and
asked the jury not to "turn him loose
on the community."

MILK PRODUCERS
FACE COURT FIGHT
State Authorizes Suit to Fight
Associations.
PRICE CONTROL ALLEGED
Attorney-General Expresses Opin
ion Producers Use. Organization
to Disadvantage of Public.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9. Leave to
bring suit in the name of the state
of California for the dissolution and
forfeiture of charters of the Asso
ciated Dairymen of California and
four affiliated corporations was
granted by Attorney-General U. S.
Webb today to four individuals on the
ground that these so-called corpora
tive, non-profit, producers' organiza
tions had monopolized 75 per cent of
the milk supply of California and
were partly responsible for increased
prices of milk.
The affiliated corporations are the
Northern California Milk' Producers'
association, the Milk Producers' Asso
ciation of Central California, the Im
perial Valley Milk Producers' associ
ation and the San Joaquin Valley Milk
Producers' association.
"I am satisfied," said .Attorney-General-
Webb in his opinion, "that
both milk and manufactured dairy
products have been diverted from
their local and natural markets; that
surplus milk has been destroyed for
the apparent purpose of limiting the
supply-and thereby keeping up the
price to the consumer, and that the
price of milk has been raised to the
consumer in the localities controlled
by the respondents, while in locali
ties not so controlled similar rises
have rfot occurred.
i " Price Control Alleg-ed.
"It appears that these organizations
have the power to control the price
paid for milk to the producer and to
increase the price paid by the con
sumer, and that even if this power
has not been fully exercised it is too
much to expect that it will remain
unused."
The corporations were organized
under an act of the legislature per
mitting producers to form co-operative,
non-profit marketing associa
tions. According to Webb's opinion,
however they really engaged in a
general commercial milk business,
and the fact that both members and
non-members were paid on the same
basis for the milk they sold to the
association "convinced him their oper
ations were in violation of the law.
Fair Price Necessary.
Attorney-General Webb held that
milk is a public utility, his. opinion
stating that public necessity demand
ed that an adequate supply of milk be
produced and distributed at a price
which, while yielding a fair return,
did not put its purchase beyond the
public in general and parents in par
ticular. J. M. Henderson of Sacramento, one
of the principal organizers of the
milk associations, in a speech in July,
1918, the opinion declared, asserted
that the organizations controlled 75
per cent of the California milk supply
and "with surprising plainness indi
cated that it would be the intention
and purpose of the organizations to
fix the prices paid the prqducer and
charged to the consumer." ,
ROSEBURG MEN INDICTED

sand quarts of liquor and passed a
portion of the liquor out to the man
who had furnished him the tools.
Holtsclaw later passed the saws to
the other prisoners who made their
escape from the county Jail, one of
the four being still at large.. Shannon
and Randies entered a plea of not
guMlty and were put under bonds to
guarantee their appearance at the

Pastors Urged to Warn Congrega
tions About Race Hatred, Es
pecially in Politics.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 9. (Special.)
Members of the Seattle Ministerial
union, who attended the regular meet
ing today, adopted resolutions submit
ted by the "orientals and immigra
tion" committee, composed of U. G.
Murphy, tleorge Gunter. Russell F.
Thrapp. W. H. McKibben and M. C.
Evans.
The resolutions follow
"This union is opposed to the
amendment to the constitution of the
United States proposed in a resolu
tion recently offered in the senate by
Senator Wesley L. Jones, of this state,
which, if adopted, would deny the
privilege of citizenship to the American-born
children of aliens who are
ineligible to citizenship. The pur
pose of this proposed amendment is
to deprive the children of Asiatics
who are resident in America the
privileges of citizenship, and is In
direct opposition to the principles of
Christianity and the spirit of true
Americanism.
"The proposed new immigration
law should provide for the free en
trance of Asiatic students into the
United States, under limited pass
ports, and we recommend that the
federal council of churches or the ln
terchurch world movement would as
sist the authorities in the proper dis
tribution and oversight of such stu
dents. "Congress should amend the nat
uralization law so that its provisions
shall apply equally alike to all aliens
who meet the requirements for citi
zenship. "Pastors are urged to warn their
congregations against the dangers of
race hatred, especially against ail at
tempts to utilize race prejudice for
political purposes by candidates for
office, and to encourage in -every
way the bringing about of a better
feeling between the church and the
many foreign elements domiciled
among, us."
OPERATORS STUDY POLICY
WAGE SCALE. COMMITTEE OF
CENTRAL FIELD MEETS.
Declaration of Stand to Be Made
Before President's Commission
Takes Up Work.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 9. The
policy of the bituminous coal opera
tors in the settlement of the coal
strike issues anil the attitude to be
assumed toward the commission of
three, appointed by President Wilson
to investigate wages and prices, was
considered today at a meeting of the
wage scale committee of the central
competitive field, which was prelim
inary to the opening Monday by the
commission's hearings, at which both
miners and operators will appear.
It was learned that refusal to ac
cept the commission as now consti
tuted was advocated by some of the
operators who have heretofore pub
licly charged that the body would be
gin its work with commitments.
Most of the operators agreed fthat
a declaration of their stand should be
made before the work of the commis
sion gets under way.
That this declaration would be
cither flat refusal to deal with the
present commission, or a statement of
the operators' willingness to co-operate
"with reservations," appeared
probable tonight. In opposing the
commission as organized, with one
representative for each, the miners,
operators and the public, some of the
operatcrs argued that an impartial
tribunal, all of the members of which
would represent the public, would be
more satisfactory.
The position of the operators out
side the competitive field in the pro
posed settlement also is doubtful, it
was asserted by F. W. Lukins of Kan
sas City, president of the Southwest
ern Interstate Coal Operators' associ
ation. Teachers' Strike Averted.
NEAV TORK. Jan. 9. A threat
