' 1.0 L. GRAND JURY PROBES OVER LAND ; Federsl Program Pro;ides for| Investigations Throughout the Country. WILSON AWAITS MORE DATA | ¥ Washington, Dec. 9.—Officials con ducting the government's inquiry into the high cost of living virtually have i completed a program to place hefore § President Wilson and Attorney Gen- ¢ eral Gregory tomorrow, providing for | ® simultancous grand jury investiga- tions throughout the country. It is understood that in addition to the officials now directly engaged in collecting information others may be named. ! It was said that doubt no longer b cxisted whether there had been com- . binations of men to boost coal prices and that cffective means to punish those who have violated the law in contributing to the rings were being studied, President Wilson and the cabinet discussed the situation today and, it . is understood, decided to await " further disclosures before reaching a conclusion as to recommendations to congress. The house commerce com- mittee decided to defer action on bills and resolutions bearing upon the subject until after the holidays. United States Attorney Anderson of Boston, conducting the investiga- tion, called at the 'White House, con- ferred for several hours with the In- terstate Commerce commission of- ficials concerning the activities” of coal dealers, spent some time with Oliver E. Page, the department's ex- pert on drawing indictments, and dis- patched fresh instructions to the field force of investigators throughout the country. Two Situations Related. The Interstate Commerce commis- sion began work on a mass of in- formation relating to car shortage and coal shipmgnts, for use in contem- plated prosecutions, The two situa- tions, it was said, were closely re- lated.

LIBERAL PARTY [§ | New Premier to Get More Sup- port From Tories Than From Own Side. | STILL STICKING TO ASQUITH f London, Dec. 9.—Events today em: phasized the fact that David Lloyd George. the new premier, has split ’s‘u;xpnrl from the conservatives in Parliament than from the liberals. The liberal ednference pledged it- self to support the new goverment, | friendly opposition and criticism administration is meeting comes from of the liberal party And from liberal \newspapers, although L.ord Northcliffe, who has been one | of Premier Lloyd George'y strongest advocates, made a strong protest to- | day in the Evening News, when the appointment of A. ]. Balfour and | Lord Robert_Cecil to the foreign of- | fice was reported | Balfour Not a Favorite. | 2 g | His newsphpers have been listing | members | ground that his management of the | blockade has shown more considera- tion for the interests of neutral na- tions than for British intrests. | A large section of the liberal party remains Taithful to Premier Asquith and looks upon Lloyd George as a | party wrcck(‘r‘ and_ denounces methods by which he achieved power. Criticism is freely made of the old cabineters that they were too import: ant to listen to their followers. The chief comment on today’s lib- eral conference is that Mr. Asquith consented to meet the rank and file and discuss party interests only when he was leaving office. The newspa- pers complain that he had been deaf to former appeals to take his follow- ers into his confidence. Persistence is the Cardinal Virtue in Advertising. .
