STOCK YARDS INQUIRY.
Kansas Attorney General WIN Try to show
That Charges Can Be Reduced.


That Charges Can 3e Reduced.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 10.-It Is ex-
pected by the lawyers who are manag-
ing the stock yards inquiry that by
Wednesday the stock yards people will
have finished and the state will take
the lead In bringing out testimony,
either by extended cross examination
that have been postponed or by put
ting on witnesses Of its own selection.
Thus fur the testimony has been to
show the great value OF the property
Of the stock yards, its varied and
intricate relations with other in
terests and with interstate COM
mcrce; also the great value to the
west of the market II affords. The
Kansas Encouragement will show
that the business is profitable. In
fact, II the little information from wit
nesses yet to be examined can be relied
upon, the history Of the company has
been one Of rapid progress In acquiring
wealth and proves the wisdom Of tho
men who first invested in stock. The
state will try to show that although
the company has s7,5O0,OO capital
only about 100000 was actu-
ally drawn from the stockhold-
ers in the east, the balance COM
ing from the profits of the busi-
ness. The rcasonableness of the Kan
sas law requiring the company to re-
duce its yardagc and feed charges is a
material point in the case and while
the company is bending its energies to
show that 1t owns great investment,
the opposite side proposes II possible
to show that n reduction of the charges
such rs the law contemplates would
leave it with an income large enough
to pay interest on the actual invest
ment.
