Representative McKellar Denounces Cold Storage Speculators. ‘Washington, Dec. 8 : tures of the market places,” and * derbund of food sharks,” were charac terizations applied to cold storage speculators who corner perishable foodstuffs to boost prices, by Repre- sentative McKellar of Tennessee when he spoke today, championing his bill for federal regulation of.the cold stor- age business. Saying that his proposed lesislation was not designed to injure the cold storage business as such, Mr. McKel- lar declared: “The drastic features of the bill are only aimed at the corrupt and dishon- est, at the gamblers and speculators, at the voracious vultures who around in the market places and reap where they have not sown, and fatten on other people’s food. I do mot be- lieve any member of this great house will stand up for any such plunder- bund of food sharks.” The McKellar bill, which would pre- seribe both prison terms and heavy fines for violation of its terms, would make it illegal to ship adulterated and misbranded food products into inter- state commerce and would limit the periods in which food products may be held in storage.

Mrs. Pal- ladino refused to disclose her sister's hiding place, but declared that she was safe and would go to the Felladino home in the Bronx tomorrow. Trouble at home, she sald, was the cause of her sister's disappearance. Social Worker Still Missing. No trace of Mjss Jessie McCann, 23 vears old, the social and church work- er and daughter of Robert McCann, a wholesale grocer, the other missing girl, had been discovered by the police at a late hour tonight. Not since the disappearance of Dorothy Arnold, who has been missing three years on Fri- day, have the police been instructed to exert thelr every effort in a o ! search. Had a Nervous Trouble. Miss McCann was a prominent mem- ber of the Epworth league, and the members of that soclety at the Brook- Iyn church which she attended began making inquiries at places where they thought she might have gone, and ap- pealed to all members of the society in the city to join in the search. It be- | came known tonight that Miss Me- Cann was under treatment for a nervous trouble, and her p n, Dr. { Roger Durham, expressed the .opinion that her depre: d condition was the cause of her disappearance. Appeals Through Newspapers. In the hope that Miss McCann migh read in the newspapers, Mr. McCan: asked that an appeal be printed gen- | erally urging her to return to her | home. In it the father ursed his daughter to return to her home, ad- | dressing her as “Sis,” and adding that her mother was prostrated and_‘will die if you don’t come back soon.” “Sis” is the pet name by which Miss McCann was known in her home, the father explained. Some Puzzling Circumstances. On Thursday, when Miss MeCann left her home to go to the Home for Destitute Children in Brooklyn, where She was a teacher, she went instead in the direction of Shecpshead Bay. Today a friend of the missing youns ivoman recalled having seen her on Friday afternoon in Wall street. At| that time Miss McCann appeared to be dazed, according to this report. This was the last time she was seen by friends or anyone who knew her. | While the police are working on the theory that Mis McCann wandered away while suffering from an atiack of mental aberration, there are several strange circumstances In her dlsap-‘ pearance that greatly puzzle them, it was learned, and which are being made | the basis for investigation.

It was the first time the president had been brought face to face with the issua in & formal way. He told o callers that whatever might be his rersonal views on woman suffrazo or any other subject, he had mads It a rule not to urge anything upon con- gress that had not been the subject of “organic consideration” by the dem- ocratic party of which he considered himself spokesman. « The president sald taat when members of congress consulted him he would freely give his Views, and he added that having al- ready been asked his opinion about the organization of a standing committee in the house of representatives to con- stder woman suffrage he had expressed himself in favor of such a committee.

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw expressed the view that the president's end: ment of the idea of a special cJ in e house all tha® conld have been expected under the circum- stanc It a quiet, earnest group of suf- fragettes who stood in a circle with the president in its center in the White Ho offices.

She told in a straight-forward, simple way how unavailing had been the frequent pilgrimages of the women to Washington heretofore and how committees of congress had listened courteously, but had ‘“buried their She appealed to the presi- dent, “in the spirit of justice,” to urge upon congress by message to pass an amendment to the federal constitution to be submitted to the states that would give women the right to vote throughout the land. She suggested three ways for the president to help the cause of suffrage—by special mes sage on the subject, a reference to it in any general message he might send or the use of his influence to obtain | the appointment of a standing commit- | tee in the house of representatives to | consider the subject as the senate had done, Must Adhere to Party Policles.
