The conference lasted two hours and there was no compromise. The boycott will continue. The wholesalers said the prices were due to a shortage and that the boycott might be a good thing for all concerned, as the abstemious ness of the boycotters would lighten the task of the dealers, who have not enough eggs to go around.

Members of the Political Equality League ate an eggloss luncheon at a downtown hotel today because their guests, officers of the Clean Food Club, said they would not attend If eggs were used in the food. The meal was so satisfactory the women voted to abstain from eggs for two weeks If the price did not tumble. The league has 1D00 members. 1X38 ANGELES. Nov. 29. A sudden 'drop In the price of eggs from 70 to 65 cents a dozen today brought forth the fact that for a month 4000 women, members of the Los Angeles Parent Teacher Association, quietly and per sistently, have been boycotting that commodity. Formal Boycott Threatened. So far the boycott has beenlndl-' vtdual, but Mrs. . J. D. Taylor, the president of the organization, declared today that if the price did not drop still further soon she would call offi cers of the body into conference to consider a formal boycott. If that action were taken. It would mean that 8000 women would not buy eggs for themselves or their families.

RICH MEN SLASH AT LIVING'S COST WEAITHY COLOXX OPEXS GRO CERY OF ITS - OWX. Butter at $1 a Roll and Egs at 75 Cents a Dozen Impress Even California's Well-to-Do. . SAN FKAXCISCO. Nov. 29. (Special.) The Piedmont Commercial Center, or the millionaires' corner grocery, as it will be known In less aristocratic re gions of the East Bay district. Is the latest commercial organization to take up arms against the high cost of liv ing. For a time the sting of high prices did not pierce the wealthy robe which shrouds exclusive Piedmont, but when butter reached $1 a roll and eggs soared to 75 cents and promised a flight that would break all altitude rec ords, the millionaires began to con sider. When a colony of wealthy bankers, mine owners, real estate magnates, cor poration chiefs and professional men get their heads together and think, something usually happens. It was then that birth was given to the Pied mont Commercial Center, which Is cap italized at $25,000. The building, which will be completed and ready' to open in about two months, will cost $10,000. The structure will be In keeping with municipal buildings and in color, form and decoration will rhyme with the City Hall and the Piediont Public School. The architect has designed many of the magnificent homes in that section. The Commercial Center will stand on a lot facing the Piedmont Park. The list of directors and stockholders reads like the pages of a bluebook. WILSON CZAR SAYS CANNON Failure of Prosperity Means Defeat in 1916, Thinks ex-Speaker. CHICAGO, Nov. 29.

MAN SHOUTS DEFIANCE More Lives Will Be Spent Beforo He Is -Captured, Declares Mexican Who Began. Career of Crime by Killing Four. BINGHAM. Utah. Nov. 29. In a bat tle underground, with only the flash of their rifles breaking the darkness, Ralph Lopez, Mexican outlaw, added two more names to his list of killed late today, when he drove back a posse of Deputy Sheriffs in the Utah Apex mine. Lopez, who started his career of crime on November 21 by killing the Chief of Police of Bingham, two deputies and a fellow-countryman, shouted from tne depths of his stronghold tonight that it would cost many more lives before they "got him." Victims Lie Where They Fell. The men whom he shot today were Deputies Douglas Hulsey and Tom Mandrich, who at a late hour tonight still lay where they fell. The deputies before entering the Andy tunnel of the mine today arranged a signal of four taps on a pipeline in case of distress. Shortly after the shooting the signal was heard coming from one of the fal len deputies. Then lt ceased and was not repeated. Arrangements were made tonight to attempt to bring out the two In a mine motor car and it was expected that this would precipitate another engagement with Lopez. , Men Enter to IJKht Saudie, Tho shooting today resulted when half a dozen deputies penetrated the Andy tunnel 900 feet in order to light a smudge to smoke the desperado out. As soon as Hulsey . struck a match ha was shot down by Lopea. In' the ex change of shots that followed Man drich fell and then the deputies re treated. It was at first reported that Dr. David Ray, who was superintend ing the mixing of chemicals for the smudge, had been shot also, but later he appeared at the mine mouth, hav ing crawled, from beside the fallen deputies on his hands and knees. Lopez was in the Andy incline, which runs into the Andy tunnel. Several deputies who had gone on ahead of the smudging party were cut oft for a time by the desperado. Deputy Cioea to Do Battle. Deputy Sheriff Julian Sorenson. the only survivor of the four officers who started in pursuit of Lopez on Novem ber 21, crept Into tho mine tonight to hunt down and engage the Mexican single handed. Deputy Sorenson later emerged from the mine reporting that he could find neither the bodies of the deputies where they had fallen nor any sign of Lopez. A posse then entered with a searchlight and returned with the verification of Sorenaon's", disco very. Apparently Lopez had moved to a new stronghold and dragged the bodies of his victims along with him in the hope the fear bis victims were still alive would prevent further efforts to asphyxiate him.
