SAYS PACKERS ARE A_MENACE Declares Tliey Will Soon Control Food Supply Xt'a.CiJngton, Feb. 13.—Francis J. Heney, former counsel for the Fed eral Trade Commission, testifying before the House interstate com merce committee, declared that arrthin ten years and probably with-. In five, the five leading meat pack ers would control the entire food Bupply of the country, and would be isble to charge any price they de atred. Mr. Heney said the packers have extended their activities into BO many fields thqf they had become a menace to the country. They now •ontrol cheese, oleomargarine and •butter markets, he said, and rapid ly are obtaining a monopoly <jf a large number of other food prod ucts. Mr. JTeney said the packers re ceived Their first start towards dom ination of the food markets through rebates granted bf the railroads. The second step was the obtaining of special privileges from the rail roads for their refrigerator cars, in tended originally for perishable meat products alone. The packers, Mr. Heney said, now use refrigerator cars for perishable and imperishable goods alike, and at such a great saving in money and in time of deliveries as to destroy competition. As a result, he said, wholesale grocers are being driven out of business. Dowager Queen Dies Wellington, X.

For immunity from deportation, for example, some Serbians were forced to pay the Bulgars as high as 25,000 francs. Other Serbian civilians paid large sums that their daughters might not be molested, say the Serbians. Seven thousand francs was the price paid by Nake T. Pasitcl. wheat merchant in the town of Bel Pal anka, near here, to prevent the seiz ure by Bulgarian soldiers of his daughter, twenty years old. Pasitcl's son, seventeen years old. had been deported by Bulgars and died of starvation in an internment camp. Peter Goshitch, a banker of the same town, paid six hundred francs for the release of his daughter who had been taken from her home by Bulgars and held at Nish five days. This young woman's husband, who .was a priest, was killed by Bulgar ians a short time before, it is charg ed. From five hundred to twenty thou sand francs was the tax put upon Serbians who desired freedom to move about, and from this source the Bulgars reaped a rich harvest. Will Allow Some Extensions on Filing of Income Tax Returns Washington, Feb. 13. —Although no general extension of time for fil ing income tax returns will be au thorized, Commissioner Roper an nounced that corporations which cannot complete returns by March 15 will be permitted to return the estimated tax and make a revised return within forty-flve days. It was explained that by this plan, the government would be able to col lect the approximate instalment due next month to meet its urgent needs and corporations actually needing an extension of time would in effect receive-it. Individual taxpayers will be given similar privileges, but no reason ex ists, according to the internal reve nue officials, for delaying the filing of the returns of individual incomes, except in unusually difficult cases.
