CUDAHY ON CORN CROP
BIG YIELD ACCORDING TO HIS
ADVlCES.
Estimates There Will Be 1,9OO,-
100000 Bushels-Nebraska Will
Lead This Year with Illinois Sec
ond-Other Items.
Pork Packer on Corn Crop.


CHICAGO: Michael Cudahy has received
advices from his correspondents through
out the farming country which indicate
big yield of corn this year, but not so large
crop as it was in 1895.
81 estimate the corn crop for the year at
about ], 800, ,oo0, 900 bushels said Mr.. Cud-
ahy. Last year it was 200 .000, 900 bush
els. The crop in New York and the east
ern states will not be very good. Ne
braska will lead the country this year
on corn. Illinois will be second. The
middle states generally will have a
great yield. The acreage of corn is very
large this season. The crop generally
will not be as good in quality as it was
last year. There was a big surplus
100000 bushels-left over from last year.
Il believe the wheat crop will be bigger
this year than it was last. The shortage
IN the European crop and the advance in
prices in harvest time will, 1 believe. cur
tail consumption. England. France and
other European countries will have their
bread at any cost. but smaller countries
will economic. The American working
man is likely to be confronted with an ad-
vance in the price of bread. There will
doubtless be continuation OF the specu-
aatve craze in wheat. but doubt it there
Will be any sensations in corn unless spec
ulators take hold of it and advance the
price,

STAR POINTER THE WINNER.
Defeats Patchen in Straight Heats
at Mashington Park.

There were 1900 people at Washington
Park, Chicago. Saturday afternoon VINO
saw the fastest first heat ever paced and
perhaps the fastest fourth quarter. The
ch.ief event on the card was the match be-
tween Joe Patchen, 2:0l4 and Star
Pointer, 2:ol&. The toss of coin gave
Patchen the pole for the first and third
heats Star Pointer, notwithstanding this
advantage, won all three heats handily,
outfooting the black horse.
First Heat-They went away together.
Rounding the first turn Patchen was
length ahead. The first quarter was COW
cred in :S055, a 2:02 gait. The half was
done in 100 fat, and the three quarters
was passed in 1924. At that point
Pointer. travelling on the outside, had
fallen an open length behind Patchen.
Swinging into the stretch McCleary called
on the bay horse, and he responded gamely
with one of the greatest bursts of speed
ever seen on trotting track. Steadily,
inch by inch, he crept up on Patchen.
Curry shook up his horse and laid the lash
on hard. He responded nobly and let out
another link. pacing like we'll balanced
piece of machinery. but he could not shake
off his antagonist. Pointer crept up
slowly and finally past Joe in the last half
dozen strides, going under the wire Win
ner of the heat by nose. The time for
the mile " as POP fiat, and first heat rec
ord was marked up.
The strength with which Pointer finished
in this heat made it almost foregone
conclusion that he would win the second
heat and the race. When they were given
the word they went away at evens, but
Pointer was never headed, winning by
two open lengths in 2:04155.
The third heat was a repittion of the
second and was made in 2:O4.

FINDS HIS PRoDlGAl SON.
Ex-Congressman Harris Of Ohio Sees
His Boy on the Stare.

His Boy on the Stage.
A Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch says: At
local theater a lurid melodrama is running.
One of the prominent characters is that of
son driven from home by quarrel with
his father. Way down in front sat ven
cradle man, eX-Congressman stephen R.
Harris of Bucyrus. Ohio, commonly called
"Uncle Steve" He formerly represented
the Thirteenth district in congress and is
very wealthy. The kittenish scubrette,
the low browed villain and the real tene-
ement fire. interested him but little, but
he followed the fortunes of ''the prodigal
SON. Finally the old man adjusted his
glasses and read on the program the name
of the prodigal. Harry Denbigh, black
sheep-Gavin Harris
Then he knew why he was so in
tensely interested. 1t was his own son
Gavin, who had left home ten years ago
and whom the father had not seen since.
He was playing behind the footlights the
story of his real life The old man decided
to finish off the real story to fit the mimic
one. He would play the repentant father.
The actor was all unconscious of his
fathers presence until the old gentleman
was ushered into his dressing room. After
the show a nearby cafe supplied substi-
tute for the prorerbial fatted calf, and
father and son were fully reconciied.

1nier, is confident the United States win

submit to commission the settlement OF

age suffered at the hands of her forces and
authorities would be the subject of exam
ination, and reserving all of her counter
claims arising from filibustering.
Should Minister " oodford be instructed
to demand autonomy. Spain would reply

from the United States moral and material
assistance. enabling them TO prolong the

Condition OF Convict Camps.

investigate the condition of the convict
camps of Georgia has made its report and
the publication thereof has astOunded not
only the governor, but even those mem
bers of the legislature who thought that
such an investigation was needed. 1t de-
clares that the convict camps of the state
are worse than Siberia. and its findings
show condition so horrible, revolving and
inhuman as to be almost beyond belief.
Men and women of both colors are forced
to sleep together in outhouses and women
compelled to don mems clothes and work
in the bitches with the men.
The reports descriptive of the treatment
of women are unprintable. In one camp
the commission found sixteen colored men
and white woman quartered in barn
with cows, and a guano store room above

inspection. AS the secretary is absent
from the city no definite reply can be

cattlemen from Nebraska would be at

Again, stockmen claim that to drive many
cattle over such a narrow trail would soon
eat up the feed. with prospect OF a
