The proposed appropriation of $160,- 000,000 for government purchase of commodities, Mr. Hoover said, might prove too small but is needed for banking facilities, “We feel confident producers’ prices of sugar and fiour will be reduced as well as others through our co-opera- tion with leaders of other trades,” he sald. “We must have power to license elevators so that they may play their part in the team work of the govern- ment.” F Hoover Oross Examined. Chairman Gore of the agriculture committes and Benator Reed of Mis- souri, leading the opposition, took a prominent part. in questioning Mr. Hoover. “The resort to these axu'a.nrdlnuy measures is only because of the war?” asked Senator Gore. - “As to provide not only more food for the allies but for ourselves’” Mr. Hoover replied. “Even if we had not gotte: to the war, we would have been up against this great demand from Europe and probably driven to some legislation to protect our own people. | Mr. Hoover expressly disclaimed authorship, personal interest or re-- sponsibility for the bill's yrovlllonl extending to fuels. “I'm concerned only with the pro- visions relating to food,” he insisted. The provisions for commandeering factories, mines and other plans, he added, would not be necessary In ad- ministering food questions. Senator Reed asked who was re- sponsible for the clauses relating to fuel and Senator Shephard of Texas suggested that President Wilson de- sired authgrity. “It is not fair to the present to say that,” said Senator Gore. “I may say that I had several talks with him on the bill, and he expressed great surprise at some of the things that are in it.” Senator Reed referred to a section which he contended would permit the government to take from cribs and bins grain stored there in excess of the amount actually needed by the farmer and asked Mr. Hoover's opinion regarding the enforcement. “As far as I am concerned, I would not attempt to execute it, as far as the present situation appears,” replied Mr. Hoover. ““Then you do not intend to take grain from the farpwers’ bins?” eaid Senator Gore. “No,” replied ‘Mr. Hoover. He added he did not intend to enforce the section” authorising the govern- ment to take chdrge of patents and formulae. vooN | Desires No Dictatorship. “Do you desire any such power?" asked Senator Reed. “No I do not,” replied Mr. Hoover, adding: “I do not think any of this power would be assumed except when vitally needed, in order to correct existing “evils. Mr. Hoover also said the food ad- ministration had no desire to regu- late consumption of food as is being done abroad, saying that wauld be left to the voluntary will of the people. Senator Gore asked if he: would deny to the farmer the right to judge the amount of crops he should grow. “If the government guarantees a minimum price,”” Mr. Hoover replied, “we might not get the beneficial re- sults for the farmer unless we also have the power to limit imports.” Mr. Hoover sald ‘‘possibly” the bill should be amended to give farmers the right to determine their own pro- duction. “We don’t propose to go to the ex- tent of fixing consumers’ rations,” Mr. Hoover added, “except as to hotels, restaurants, etc., regarding the amount of bread portions to be served and the like. ' England did a foolish thing in trying to ix maximum prices, a fallure wherever tfied.” “Do you contend that under the bill you can say to Senator Reed for instance that he has to eat a soup bone or a steak on certain days?” asked Senator Kenyon. - “I don't think we have any such right nor should we have' it,” Mr. Hoover replied emphatically, “But we should have the right to suggest the use of a soup bone a day and see i we can reach any agreement volun- tarily.” Senator Reed insisted that legis tion is not-ngeded to effect such untary arrangements, but Mr. !-lbover said aukuy should aughorize the food administration to that end. | LOCATE STOLEN AUTO Waltham (Mass.)

NEW BR!TAIN DAILY HERALD TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1917. TREFUSED T0 STAND FOR NATIONAL HYMN So “Jofinny” Crean Gave Kaiser Lovers Two Encores The tone and temperment of soms of the citizens.in this city, who pro- fess to be Americans at times, was evinced Sunday evening, at Teutonia Maennerchor ‘hall on Arch street, where an entertainment was held. Among those in attendgnce was John J. Crean, a popular o player and entertainer who, during the evening, was called upon to give selections. |- As an opening number Mr. Crean played the national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” which in- stantly brought the thoroughbreds to their feet. «+ In the assemblage were about 30 persons who are believed to be of Teutonic descent and of this number but 12 stood up with their American brethren. Some of the party went about the room and re- quested those who have failed to comply with the custom to do so but they were obdurate and sullenly re- fused to comply with the spirit as displayed. The sound of the national anthem sounded so well to the Americans that prolonged applause brought forth two encores from the planist, but as on the first occasion the “sitters” main- tained their attitude. Returning to the faith of his mother and childhood as he lay on his death bed in St. Francis hospital in Hart- ford Monday night, Carlton R. Wil- Hams of 73 Jubilee street received the last sacraments the Catholic church and, unknown'to relatives, ex- pressed the wish to be buried with the services that belief. As a re- sult, the juneral services, first planned for this afternoon at 2 o'clotk from his home with Rev. ‘Warren F. Cook, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, officiating, were cancelled. There will be prayres at 8:30. o'clock tomorrow morning from his home and at 9 o'clock there will be celebration -of a mass or requiem at St. Peter's church with Rev. Charles Coppens officiating. The body will be taken to Brooklyn, this state, for burial. Members of his family state there is no disagreement as to in which faith the deceased is to.be buried but simply & misunderstanding as to the status of his belief when he died. As he realized the end was near and lay on the hospital cot, he desired the last sacraments of the church and.a priest was summoned. The deceased was aged 47 years and for about eight years had becn employed as a linemen by the United Electric Light & Water com- pany. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Reeks Baby Dead. The infant daughter, born to Dr- ‘and Mrs. T. E. Reeks at the Hart- ford hospital yesterday morning died unexpectedly today. Mrs. Reeks' condition is reported as favorabie. Mrs. Elizabeth Reilly. The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Retlly of 104 Franklin street was held at 10 o'clock this morning from St. Mary's church with Rev. W. A. Krause officiating. Burial was in St. Mary’s new cemetery. N AUTO ABANDONED Mystery surrounds the abandoning of a palatial touring car on Rockwell avenue last night by thieves who bold- ly stole it from‘a pubic parking place in Hartford some hours previously. Residents of that section telephoned to police headquarters late today rela- tive to the présence of the automobile there and its apparent abandonment. It was towed to the police garage. In- quiry of the state secretary’s office and Hartford aythorities developed the in- formation that it is the property of Richard Wayen of 255 Kenyon street, Hartford, and had been reported 'as stolen. SPIRITUALIST PIONIO. The 63rd annual picnic of the Com- pounce Association ' of Spiritualists will be held tomorrow. at Lake Com- pounce.

Madrid, Via London, June 19.—Pre- mier Dato, addressing a number. o press representatives said that calm prevailed in Spain but that he con- sidered very srave problems faced the government. The dissolution of the cortes was possible he said, but not probable. Superintendent James Towers of the water department reported to the police that his automobile 'was siderably battered at Broad and ‘Washington streets this afternoon when it was run into by a motor- cycle that came at excessive speed from the latter thoroughfare. e ——————————————— T00 LATE FOR CLASSIFICATION. con- FOR SALBE—Bargain.

Steel was the chief feature on its initial offering of 1 000 shares at 137 1-4 to 126 3-4, a maximum loas of a point. Bethlehem broke almost ‘2 points at its low quo- tation. Coppers, oils, Central Leather and ittsburgh Coal were includea among the more moderate declines, Motors and Industrial Alcohol were firm and rails irregular. Complete re- coveries in a number of stocks oc- curred before the end of the first half hour. - The rally gathered greater force With the passing of the session and bears hastened to cover. Steel led the rebound, blocks of 4,000 to 7,000 being confidently taken an the rise to 128 3-8 which more than effaced its early reversal, Despite the easier money conditions, prices reacted again in the last hour, ‘many gains being surrendered.
