MAINE -MYSTERY
REPORT OF EXAMINING BOARD
ONLY MAKES EXPLOSION A
GREATER PUZZLE.
WAS MOST LIKELY A MINE
Report Says Injury to Bottom Was
Due to Setting Off of Charge of
Explosive Which Ignited Forward
Magazines and Blew Up Vessel.
Washington, Dec. 9. After 13 years
if doubt and contradiction, and charge
md counter charge, the mystery sur
rounding th.) explosion cf the battle
ship Maine, in Havana Harbor has
beeu swept away. The Vreeland board
,ias found that the battleship was de
Hroyed by an exterior force.
This fact has been announced by
Secretary of the Navy Meyer, who,
ifter receiving the report of the board,,
presented It to the President.
The examination of tlie wreck by
the Vreeland board bears out In de
tail the findings of the commission
named by the Navy Department a few
lays after the Bhip's destruction, and
snds for all time the controversy con
cerning the cause of the xploslon.
According to the Vreeland board
"the injury to the bottom of the Maine
vas caused by the explosion of a
barge of low-form explosive exterior
o the Bhlp."
According to the findings of the
Inmpson board 13 years ago the con
lltlon of the wreck, "could have boon
produced only by an explosion of a
mine situated under the bottom of
'he ship about frame 18. and some
vhat on the port side of the ship."
A brief statement giving the sub
stance of the Vreeland board's flnd
!ngs has been given out. This is ns
Vlows:
"The board finds tiiat the Injuries
fo the bottom of the Maine were caus
ed by the explosion of a charge of
'ow-forrn of explosive, exterior to the

KEEPS FOOD ml
COLD STORAGE INCREASES COST
OF LIVING, SAYS SECRETARY
WILSON'S REPORT.
CRO VALUES OF 1911
Facts About Prices The Farmer Gets
Little Receives Only Fifty Cents
ot Every DoHar Spent by the
Consumer.
Washington, Dec. 7. "The consum
er pays a dollar for food; the farmer
gets less than fifty cents of it. Who
gets the rest?"
That is a question Secretary Wilson
of the Department of Agriculture asks
in his annual report. The Secretary
does not attempt to answer it.
The Secretary explains in some de
tail the results of an Investigation
his department has just made into the
effect of cold storage on the whole
someness and cost of food. His in
vestigation leads him to recommend
publicity for the amount of food in
cold storage, just as the department
now gives publicity to the condition of
crops from month to month.
Instead of food remaining in stor
age for longer than a year or two
years, as a rule, the Secretary says
that his Investigation showed "re
ceipts Into cold storage are entirely
or very nearly exhausted by the de
liveries out of cold storage within
ten months. Long ftorage Is the ex
ception, the Secretary asserts. Ware
housemen explained to the depart
ment that excessively long storage
was due to lawmits and other circum
stances of an uncommercial nature.
The cost of storage, including storage
charge, interest and Insurance, is con
sidered as a barrier to every long
storage.
Cold storage, the Secretary reports,
has raised the cost, of living by In
creasing the annual price level for
butter and eggs.
An examination of the record of
prices gives a "suspicion" that there
has been much speculation In snm
years by the men who keep commodi
ties in cold stornpe.
Wilson refers to "an apparent mis
take" of the storage men in overestl
mating the consumption of eggs by
the public at exorbitant prices lasi
winter, with the result that In the
pprlng the storage men had to sell"
eggs r.t remarkably lew prices am
"end abroad the largest amount of
eggs ever exported, In order to gel
rid of the supply. The report state
that the warehousemen ought to br
required ti send to Washington each
month the amount of commodities
placed In storage, bo that the public
may be able to Judge cf the future
trefld of prices.
Recommendation is made that all
Ccvernment agencies that conserve
health should be grouped together In
one bureau.
The Department announces that the
corn crop Is moving northward by
seed selection.
After years of experimentation, the
Department says that Egyptian cotton
can be grown In Southern California
and bulbs In the State of Washington
The crayfish is pronounced to be p
serious peBt In the South. Carbon
blsulphld Is said to be a sure remedy
For the first time In many years tin
total value of farm products has de
clined from that cf the rrfcedlnr
year. The estimate for 1?11 Is basr1
on the census items and is S,417,-
000,000, or $277,000,000 under the total
for 1910.

Mayor Gaynor Discusses Project with
Secretary Meyer Public
Hearings to Be Held.
Washington, Dec. 9. Public hear
ings will be held in New York by th-
joint board of the army and navy u
enable New Yorkers to express theii
views regarding the advisability oi
the reverse of abandoning the Brook
lyn navy yard. This Is the result o!
the brief conference which Mayoi
l.aynor and Calvin Tomkins. the Com
missioner of Docks, had with the Sec
retary of the Navy.
The question of abandoning tht
New ork Navy Yard, which is ai
most as old as the Republic Itself, ha
been seriously considered by Secre
tary Meyer in connection with hi
policy of reducing the number of navy
yards on the Atlantic Coast, tht
scheme under consideration being th
substitution, not only for the New
iork yard, but alto for those at Bos
ton and Portsmouth, of a great navai
base at Narragansett Bay. This ldot
is very popular in New England ant
the movement has great strength.

Result of Restricting

Baltimore, Md., Dec. 9. There is a
possibility that the next period ol

a condition will mean, Daniel Willard,

Railroad, Bald at a dinner here to thr

The problem is, where, and by what

Harrisburg. Some Idea of the im
portance of Pennsylvania's new cap
ltol as a point of intereEt for trav
elers and sightseers from all over
the world Is pretty clearly shown by
the monthly reports of the capltol
guides of the number of visitors reg
istered there during the first 11
months of the present year; all told
there were just 30,915 ; and they
came from all countries, too.
Fred V. Scheaffer. chief of the
guides and the bureau of information,
keeps a daily account of only those
visitors who ask for a guide. There
are thousands who promenade
through the building without asking
the services of a guide. Figuring on
the monthly totals of the last 11
months, with a conservative estimate
of the unguided, the year's grand to
tal should run the capltol visiting list
well above the 33,000 marl'., Chief
Scheaffer thinks.
Resides the number of visitors
guided, the number of trips made by
the guides each day and the number
of packages checked while their own
ers are making the Inspection tour.
Is accurately kept. These figures are
also totaled at the end of each month.

Anonymous Postal for Food Agent.
Agent Simmers of the state dairy
and food division has sent to the

which he wns threatened with all
sorts of dreadful things If he con
tlnued to enforce the laws. The pos
tal card addressed him as an "oleo de
tective" and after some threats con
tained profanity In liberal measure.

mor-plate candy. It was supposed to

eastern part of the state and will be
evidence In court.
