" TO GRAND JURY IN CHICAGO . regen fi‘hey looked to be perf . charge of the dumping couidn’t i and vegetables to rot in the that prices may be increased, a i THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1916. APPLES NEAR THIS CITY ROT IN FIELD Some of the Connivings of Pro- duce Men Are Being Brought ' Right Home to Omaha. Mr. Common People in his- search for an answer to the question, “Why is‘the cost of living high?” is begin- ning to sce certain things which he believes indicates a devilish plot on the part of producers to deliberately shorten the. supply of foodstuffs and this make the prices higher. Take apples, for example. They are almost as cxpcnsivc as potatoes naw. Yet many of the orchards near Omaha have borne bountiful crops. ¥] heard of a man who went over info Towa t mlnn he would buy sev- eril barnelsof apples for his own fam- llys use direct from the farmers,” said F. E. Bollard, an insurance man. “He stopped at a farm where he saw the trees hanging full of the fruit. He met the farmer and asked about buying pome apples. ‘I can't sell an to. you, said the farmer. ‘Why not?' asked the man, *Because they've all been baught up,’ was the reply. ‘Well, they're-dead, ripe. It looks as though they ought to be picked,’ said the Omahan. Said the farmer: ‘1 don't exaect they'll ever be -picked. Ihfy wel':nl bought up for that purpose.”” uy Up Crop. ll is alleged that the western apple men, interested in a market for their big crop, have agents in ihis part of the country huying up the domestic crop, which it is thelr intention to Ilhw to rot, merely in order to keep price up on the apples that they 1l w to reach the market. . An Omaha grocer who doesn't want hig name mentioned, saw two carloads of: bananas dumped into the Missis- sigpi rlvcr in, eastern lowa one day fc(ly good bananas,” he said. “And the men in reason for destroying them.” Evidence to Grand Jury. § ?hlulfl, Nov. 22—With the receipt information which, according to f i U ed States officials, apparently s to support the belief that cer- - produce dealers are permitting s of federal States today w ents, directed by trict Attorney searching for the e.

C. Howe of Armour Co. Declares No Increase in Car- cass Beef Around Here. PRESENTS SOME FIGURES That the high cost of living is not due to any increase in the selling price of beef by the packers was in sub- stance the statement of General Man- ager R, C. Howe of the Armour Pack- | ing company. Mr. Howe issued fig- ures compiled from statistical records in the local office which showed that the wholesale selling price of beef had increased practically not at all in the last three yearn and that the price of pork was not in any way due to ac- tion on the part of packers in raising prices. e The following table shows the variance in the selling price of dressed and carcass bheef per hundredweight in different centers, the figures given being the average selling price for fifty-two weeks: 1914, 1915, 1916, For entire country...$11.61 $11.31 $11.90 Fof Des Moaines, Lin- coln and Deadwood. 11,74 11.28 11,74 For Omaha territory. 11.81 10.73 10.93 “The selling price of dressed car- cass beef has made prlcncally no in- B e crease in the last three years,” Mr. | Howe said. “Figures taken from our books, which are open to the public, show that beef supplied to tributary territory surrounding this market, which includes Nebraska, lowa, South Dakota and Wyoming, risen scarcely at all in selling price. This has [ will show that the high cost of living is due to other causes than forced prices for meat goods.” In speaking of pork products the general manager said that the buying price of hogs on foot has increased 3 cents per pound since November 2( last year. “On November 20, 1915, hogs sold on foot at $6.27; today's market quotations show a price per hundredweight of $9.60 for the same grade of hog. We have raised prices of dressed pork only according to the increase in raw materials."” Demo Committee Spends Large Sum In Douglas County The expense account of the demo- cratic county central committee filed with Harley G. Moorhead, election commissioner, shows that the total receipts were $4,900 and the expendi- tures $4,§98. One of the items was $1,730 - for checking, dlstnbulmz and watchers.” “election day expenses, EASTERN SENATORS Receipt of ' Telegrams Telling This News Kills Anticipated Bull Movement Here.

Thé New York telegrams came from brokers in that city and the information they contain. is looked upon as being the sentiment of east- ern congressmen, regardless of party. Omaha grain dealers assert that if the talk of an embargo on grain and foodstuffs continues it will have a ten- dency to “bear” prices and if the em- bargo becomes a fact there will be a decided drop not only on grain, but on everything that is a food factor, Omaha wheat receipts were fifty- three carloads and while the demand was good prices were about the same as Tuesday, 1.84 per bushel. Corn sold off a quarter of a cent from the prices of Tuesday, fetching 91@92; cents, though a car of choice stuff sold one-half cent up. Receipts were ninety carloads. Oats were m ra{her poor demand ranging around $1.78@ | and sold off one-fourth to one-half cent, the going prices being 554 @ | 55% cents per bushel. Receipts were twenty-nine carloads. Two Switch Engines Jam And Tie Up North Yards Just how, or why it happened, none of the enginemen know, but late | Tuesday night, two switch engines, one a Northwestern and the other belonging to the Missouri Pacific, came together at the crossing near' Fourteenth and Burt streets. Both locomotives into scrap and the tracks tied up until almost noon. The Northwestern engine side- swiped that of the Missouri Pacific,| lifting it high into the air and toppling it over. In the collision, the Missouri Pacific machine was pretty well brok- en up and the Northwestern almost completely stripped.
