THROPIST SUCCUMBS Ironmaster, 83 Years Old and Invalid ''Since 1917, Sinks Rapidly After Attack Friday. Succumbs When Pneumonia Follows Cold. Lenox, Mass. In his great mansion overlooking a lake in the beautiful Berkshire, where he sought seclusion when bodily infirmity overtook him and his mind was saddened by the entrance of his country into the world war, Andrew Carnegie, ironmaster and philanthropist, died Monday. Although he had been in feeble health more than two years, his iual illness was brief a matter of days. A severe cold developed quickly into branchial pneumonia, the aged patient lapsed into unconsciousness and the end came as though it was the beginning of a deeper sleep. No ostentation will mark the funeral of the man who, when he began eighteen years ago to give 'away his millions, was reputed to have the second largest private fortune in America. Mrs. Carnegie was at her husbands bedside in the last hour of his life, but he did not revive sufficiently to permit of any sign of recognition. Their daughter, Margaret, who last April married Ensign Roswell Miller, of New York, was notified that it was apparent that the illness would be fatal, and she hurried from her home at N. Y., arriving a few minutes after her father had died. Although Mr. Carnegie, who was in his eighty-fourt- h year, had been an invalid since 1917, when he suffered an attack of grippe, the news of his death was a shock to old friends and former business associates. Since his previous illness be had been under the care of two nurses.

PUBLIC HAVE Attorney General Palmer Wires Food Administrators to Probe Retailers and Publish Costs as Guide. Congress to Investigate. Statement Issued in National Capital. Appeal to "Common Sense of the American People. Men Are Gradually Returning to Work. Washington Food administrators iu every state in the union will begin Monday the formation of fair price commissions to answer questions directed to them by Attorney General Palmer. His telegram to the food administrations with this request marks another step In the governments fight against the high, cost of living and is in accordance with the desires expressed by the president in his message to congress. When fair prices are arrived at and posted by the food administra-- , tors, all of the strength of the department of justice will bd used to maintain observance of these prices by wholesalers and retailers of foodstuffs.' Any violations of the fair price lists will be reported immediately to the nearest district attorney and he will be vested with authority to proceed at once against the profiteer. Meantime Investigators of the department of justice have reported that large quantities of foodstuffs have been stored in various sections' of the country and United States authorities are Investigating these vast accumulations of supplies to determine whether prosecution under the food act shall be begun tinder Attorney General Palmers instructions. The general instructions issued by the attorney general to tlie United States district attorneys and the cooperating department agents also cover the destruction of foodstuffs by holders who purpose by this method to hold up prices to the present high levels. Reports are being received that foodstuffs are thus feeing .destroyed, and the full machinery of the law' will be invoked .to reach the persons guilty. In this connection it has been proposed that congress enact legislation specially designed to cope with profiteers who go so far as to destroy foodstuffs to inaintaiu prices. Washington. Leaders of the fifteen organizations of railroad employees united Saturday In a definite assertion that they had no desire and have had none, to impress upon the public by violence or by threat their proposal that the railroads be nationalized under tripartite control. Declaring that the requests of the men that living costs be reduced or their wages increased was aside from tlie question of the future disposition of the railroad problem, the labor leaders said that If President Wilson and congress could not meet this request the men would try to find another solution. Plans for the formation of a national conference for railroad control were discussed at a luncheon attended by representatives of the bortherhoods and prominent persons from various parts of the country who were invited members of by tlie brotherhoods the conference as representatives of the public. While the labor leaders did not men-- ' tion the presidents address to congress it was the general belief that their statement resulted from his warning to the labor world that strikes would only make present conditions worse and that those who sought to employ threats or coercion were only preparing their own destruction. Two distinctly separate considerations now confront the people, the wage requirements of the railroad employees, and tlie Sims bill (embodying the railway employees plan for reorganization of the railroitds). In the matter of wages we have submitted an eminently just proposition. We have said that if we are to continue to live as Americans should live and are to care for our families as American families should be cared for, the profiteers must be restrained or our wages increased. Every fair minded man, and every intelligent housewife, will recognize the reasonableness of this request. If congress and the president cannot meet this request, it is still a living question and we shall have to try to find another SENTIMENT IS TO BE DIRECTED AGAINST THOSE GUILTY OF EXPLOITING.

Infla-- t- Washington, President Wilson laid several specific proposals before congress Friday for checking the high cost of living,' hut at the same time declared permanent results could not be expected until peace time bases were . fully restored. High prices, the. president told congress, were not justified, by shortage of supplies either present or prospective, but were created In many ;aKes, s artificially amf'detlheraiely, ny Retailers, he said, practices. were responsible in large part for extorfc-iou- rtionate-prices., Strikes, the president warned the labor world, would only'make matters worse and those who sought to employ threats or coercion were only preparing their own destruction. Leaders of organized labor, the President said, he was sure would presently yield to second sober thought. Illegal and criminal were the words the President used in characterizing the methods by which some present day prices have been brought about. Present laws, he said, would be energetically employed to tlie limit to force out food hoards, and meet the situation so far as possible, but to supplement the existing statutes he specifically urged the following; Licensing of all corporations engaged in interstate commerce with specific regulations designed to secure competitive selling and prevent unconscionable profits in the method of marketing.

Die public transportation highways in . 'lie United States the house e- committee was told by Glen E. Plumb of Chicago. There was no connection between the presentation of the Plumb plan to congress and labor disturbances and demands for higher wages, Plumb said, replying to a question by Chairman The fact that both brake together, Plumb added, was due to your invitation to appear at this time. Otherwise, our plan would have been presented in the full. Definite information on which his charges were based, Mr. Plumb said, would be turned over to the committee, upon which it may ask for a full congressional investigation. We believe such an investigation, he continued, will reveal that there is not one railroad system dominating any part of. the 254,000 miles of railroads in the United States but lias is suffering, in a degree if not to Ihe same extent, from carefully deliberated manipulations of tlie sort that have wrecked and ruined the railroads I have mentioned. It will reveal that these interests are again gathering their forces of private and secret control, and seek, after having gained from congress a sanction to rehabilitate their railroad properties at public expense, to begin again and follow through its corrupt and wicked cycle the systematized plundering and looting of the .public and the public interest in the nations highways. In vle of the gravity of this situation, and in order that we may have the benefit of their counsel on helialf of the public in presenting our statement to congress and to the American people, the fourteen affiliated railway labor organizations are summoning to Washington a national conference on railroad control.
