Evidence Will Warrant Indict
ment Against "Big Five,"
Says Attorney General
BEFORE JURY THIS WEEK
Albany, Srpt. 18. Evidence Hint will
warrant and sustain tlie indictment of
the combination of pnekcra Known ai tlic
"Bl The" will bo presented to a
grand jurv tliis week. Attorney Gen
eral A. Mitchell rnlmcr announced cs
terday at n conference of Rtato and fed
eral officials called bv Governor Smith
to consider tile cost-of-living problem.
"There never nasi beforo any gov
ernment agency," said Mr. 1almer, "so
ample n collection of data bearing upon
the activities of this giant ns there is
today.
"When it is laid before a- Jury iho
wrath of the American pcopld v,l com
pel a verdict of conviction. The story
" will amaze America."
Mr. Talmer discussed the cause of
the high cost of living, which he divided
into two groaps, one based on world
wide economic conditions and which is
n logical result of the conditions that
obtained during the war. These con
ditions produced a situation which only
time and the slow processes of readjust
ment can change to the betterment of
the peoplo, he declared.
The other group, he said, is made up
o peoplo who can be campaigned
ngainst, as it was composed of people
in all classes of buslnuss. who upon the
Justification that "evervbody is doing
it." nnd in the confidence that tho
people expect prices to be high, have
advanced prices in a wav that has in
creased the heavy burden upon the
people. ,
"Thev are the most despicable scamps
In the community," Mr. Talmcr said.
"They are found not only among the
retailers, but among the wholesalers,
tho jobbers nnd the manufacturers.
Tbcv are the men who forgot duty to
country and fo their "fcllowmen' in a
selfish dcsiicto yield profit to them
selves. They ought to bo punished if
tin existing law will permit, and I
think it will,"
Members $f Governor Smith's cost-of-living
Investigating commission sug
gested tlys creation of n state clearing
house commission to be composed of the
state superintendent of banks, the state
commissioner of health and the state
commissioner of farms nnd markets, to
co-ordinate information nnd eliminate
the overlapping of offlcinl functions.
District Attorncvs Swnnn, of New
York, nnd Lewis, of Brooklyn, indorsed
the Suggestion of District Attorney
Coopqr, of Jefferson county, that legis
lation be enncted limiting profits on
necessaries of life. Charles E. Trcman,
federal food controller for up-stotc, rec
ommended that the attorney general of
tho state appoint the seeral district at
torneys as his peisoual reprcsentatics
in prosecutions ngainst profiteers. He
call hnt liv til method better results
ivnuli be obtained than through the
operation of fair-price committees.
laming, Mich., Sept. IS. George
Zimtncr, an independent meat packer ot
Bay City, testifying here jesterday be
fore tho grand jur investigation into
food costs, tnid price-cutting methods
by the big packing companies drove him
out o the territory in the northern
counties of Michigan.
Tho investigation was resumed yes
terday after a two weeks' postpone
ment,. NONMAGNETIC SHIP
No Metal on Vessel to Start Test
Trip Today
Baltimore. Sept. IS. The nonmag
netic ship Carnegie, one or the most
unusual vessels afloat, which has been
repairing at this port for more than
threo niontns, win icno lounj ir u
test trip to Washington. Then a thirty
months' cruise will be started, during
which tho vessel will visit ecry corner
of the globe. The Carnegie, owned by
the Carnegie Institute, performs im
portant scientific work in detecting
compass deviation and variation at va
rious points. Her reports aro of great
value to mariners.
No steel or iron is used in the con
struction of tho Carnegie, for the
presence of thee metals would interfere
with the accuracy of the observations.
When observations arc being made
knives nnd even collar buttons made of
metal nro taken from the crew nnd
placed in a nonconducting insulated box.
! Wilson Answers Queries
on Operation of League
By tho Associated Tress
fehn rfanclsco, Scrt. 18. Itcplying
In a statement today to n list of ques
tions put to him by a San Tranclsco
league of nations organization, Presi
dent Wilson declared Great Britain
could not outvote tho United Slates in
tho league; that foreign governments
could not, under tho covenant, order
American troops nbrond; that the
league would have a powerful Influence
toward restoration of Shantung to
China; that the United States would not
bo obligated by Article X to aid Grcnt
Britain in suppressing a revolt In Ire
land, nnd that, under Article XI, there
would bo crcnted a new forum for ques
tions of self-determination.
Mr. Wilson's statement, containing
tho questions and answers, follows:
First. Will ou stnto tin underly
ing consideration which dictated an
awarding of six votes to the British
empire in the assembly, nnd is it truo
that Great Britain will outveto us in
the league of nations and thereby con
trol the league's action?
Not Controlled by British
Answer. The consideration which
led to assigning six votes to self-governing
portions of tho British cmplro
was that they hnve, In effect. In nil
but foreign policies, become autono
mous self-governing states, their pol
icy, In all but foreign affairs, being
independent of tho control of the Brit
ish govcrnmont, nnd in many respects
dissimilar from it. But it is not true
that tho British empire can outvote
us in the leaguo of nations, and,
therefore, control the action of the
league, because in overy matter except
the admission ot new members in the
league, no action can bo taken with- '
out tho concurrence of a unanimous
vote of tho representatives of the
states which nro members of the coun
cil, so that in all matters of action
the affirmative vote of the United
States is necessary and equivalent to
the united 'vote of the representatives
of tho sevcrnl parts of the British cm
1'irCvu.TJie united votes of the several
parts of tho British empire could not
offset or overcome the Aoto of tho
United States.
Second. Is It true that, under the
league of nations, foreign countries
could obtain tho sending of American
troops to foreign countries?
Answer. It is not. The right of
Congress to determine such matters Is
in no wise impaired.
To Help Safeguard China
Third. What effect will the leaguo
of notions have in either forwarding
nr hindering the fiunl restoration of
Shantung to China? Whnt effect wjll
tho leaguo of nations niwo in pro
renting further spoliation of Chinn
nnd the abrogation of all such special
privileges now enjoyed in China by
foreign countries?
Answer The league or nations will
have a very powciful effect in for
warding the final restoration of Shan
tung to China, nnd no other Instru
mentality, or action, can bo substi
tuted whidi could briug that result
about. Tho nutiiontv of the league
will, under Article X, be constantly
directed townrd safeguarding the ter
ritorial integrity and political indo
pendeuco of China. It will, there
fore, absolutely prevent the further
spoliation of Chinn. promote tho res
toration to Chinn of tho several privi
leges now long enjoyed by the for-

Not rurty (o Irish Dispute
Tourth Is thero anything In the
league of nntlons covenant, or tho
pence treaty, which, directly or In
directly, in any manner imposes on
tho United States any obligation,
moral or otherwise, of the slightest
chnractcr, to support l;ngland in any
uy
A:
way In caso of revolt In Ireland?
Lnsvvcr. Thero In not. The only
gunrantco contained in the covenant
in against external aggression, and
those who framed tho covenant wero
scrupulously careful in no way to
interfere with what they regarded ns
tho sacred rights of self-determination.
Tifth. Whnt effect, If nny, will tho
league of nations covenant have in
either hindering or furthering tho
cause of Irish freedom?
Answer. It was not possible for the
Peaco Conference to act with regard
to the self-determination of any ter
ritories except thoso which had be
longed to the defeated empires, but In
the covenant of the leaguo of nntlons
it has set up, for the first time, in
Artielo XI, n forum beforo which nil
claims of self-determination which
are likely to disturb tho peaco of the
world or the good understanding be
tween nations upon which the peaco
of the world depends can bo brought.
