Kansas fily, are deplorable due to high cost of production and distribution of ag riftiliural products and prevailing low price, A. K. Hamsey, chairman of the federal reserve bank at Kansas City, told the interstate commerce commission Monday In hearings on freight rates on grain products and hay. The complaint against present rates was made by the Kansas state railroad commission joined by twenty other states, and various grain producers associations. Producers are unable to sell theii products nbove the cost of production and distribution, Mir. Ramsey said. Kate experts, statisticians and economists were on hand to testify before the interstate commerce commission as to the necessity for reductions Id freight rates on grain products ami hay In the Wvstero states. In the for live days of hearing twjnfy states, through their railroad have joined with organ izations representing grain producers, stock exchanges and grain dealers, a well as many Western bankers, in urging reductions on the ground that present rates are too high for producers to realize a reasonable profit. They also declare that grain and hay prices have come down to prewar prices, and therefore should be accorded prewnt v freight pates. The hearings will be before Commissioner Lewis. Briefs, It Is understood, will be dispensed with and argument asked for immediately after the hearings. The commission, it Is known, I? anxious to lose no time In deciding whether the present alleged "emergency" in the grain industry justifies the reductions asked. in FATHER OF PRES.

Speculation as to the probable membership of the American delegation has not changed the list as published In the Chicago Tribune several weeks ago after the president had told some of his advisors that he had in mind the men he would like to name Secret arv Hughes has already been designated to treaa the commission. For his colleagues the president is said to be considering today, as he was two weeks ago, the following: Elihu Root, former secretary of state. Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the senate. Philander C. Knox, former secretary of state, and Republican member of the senate foreign relations committee. Oscar Underwood of Alabama, Democratic senator and friend of the president. George AV. Sutherland, former Republican United States senator from Utah and international lawyer. If more than five Americans are to be named it is possible that the pres ident may appoint a woman on the commission or .some member of the house of representatives. That the president will appoint Mr. Root Is believed to be certain by those who have discussed the subject with him. Senator Lodge, by virtue of his position as chairman of the foreign relations committee is obviousiy entitled to head the representation from the senate. Senator Knox, the president believes to be eminently qualified for membership on the commission, not because he is a senator, but because of his familiarity with diplomacy and international relations. Senator Underwood is being considered as a representative of the minority political party. The pr&jident Is known to admire Underwood and to have great confidence in his ability. Former Senator Sutherland is regarded by the president as eminently qualified for the delegation. He was at one time seriously considered for secretary of state. Whether the president will appoint a woman to the delegation no one knows. The president himself does not know. He would like to, It Is believed. Agitation for this by women's organizations continues daily. The National asked League of Women Voters has the president for an opportunity to present resolutions urging the nnme of a woman on the commission and women on any advisory committees which may be formed during the conference. ama-ment- LOST MAN MAY BE s, LOCATED May Ambros Small, Missing Theatre Man, Thought Found in Iowa lies Moines, Iowa The man of mystery, who Frank Harty, former assist ant chief of police, claims Is Ambrose Small missing Toronto theatre owner, may lie brought from his place of hid He ing soon, said Harty Sunday. says he Is sure that the man he has lfiTd under surveillance for six months is the Tronto millionaire for whom a world-widsearch has been made since Ms disappearance In December, 101!).
