Cattle Market Steady With
Better offerings.

The local market yesterday in the hog
division was quoted as cents lower on
heavy hogs and the light hogs as strong.
This quotation spoke very good show
ing for the day in the hog division and
WAS more than in line with most Of the
bther leading western hog centeTs. There
WAS a disposition to classify all along the
line yesterday IN the hog trading and
there was a marked divergence at all
points as for tn several classes. For in
stance, one point gave out early that
quotation: flights. firm to cents
higher: heavies nweak." This was also
the normal quote from most of the west
ern centers and ruled for the bulk Of hogs
everywhere The wichita market re-
sponded accordingly. and heavy packer
hogs and fat lard stock went on about
s cents ON this market, while the lights
and MEDIUMS were quoted as strong
There was a very fair line Of this class
Of stock on sale and all Of II sold at
the best market prices. It was not a
heavy day in point of receipts but the
sum total was very fair as compared with
many DAYS OF last week. everything IN
WAS sold and sold readily and at the best
prices consonant with the trend Of the
other western markets. The wagon offer
! tngs and those from the local sources
were better and the quality better and
all OF them sold easily. The car stuff,
while not especially heavy, was very fair
and all of IL was disposed OF at the best
figures. There were reports of more cars
due at a late hour and these late arrivals
will cross the scales at the opening this
morning. The liberal hog receipts affected
the provision market and that pit was
quiet and weak. and was in line with the
irregularity Of the grains and other spec
nlative products. 1t was generally duh
and irregular weak and the lower mar
ket yesterday in all departments and the
local hog market only reflected the tone
of the rest Of the trading. oGod prices
were paid for hogs especially the lighter
grades, and the lower point reached by
the heaYies was only because the pace
was set by all the other receiving points
early. The day was fuctuatIng and I'M
pertain yesterday everywhere, and the
best quotations were spasmodic and &C
cordlng TO the feeling at the moment he
different lots were offered. This market
did very well and he'd its own with all
the rest and the demand was good for
such grades as could be used on this
market

DAYS TOPIC IS ''RoBBERIES"
Maset Committee ADev0tes the ses-
sIoa to POIiSe Records, %

New York, Aug. S.-Mr. Moss, counsel
for the Mazet investigating committee,
opened the session of the committee to-
day by stating that he would attempt to
show by the records Of the police depart
ment that there has been a large increase
in the number of robberies and burglarIes
in this city recently and that 1t is the
result OF what has been called the wide
open" policy. Mr.. Moss said 1t was i'm
possible, owing to the lax methods Of
the police to tahulate list of the crimes
committed. Mr.. Moss read from reports
OF trials of delinquent officers before the
police board. He instanced a case where
five officers had been charged with neg
lecting to report an attempted burglary
and with failing to take any steps to APP
prehend the criminals. The case against
the officers had been dismissed with a
reprimand for each.
Charles F. Dillon, a detective Of Mr..
Moss STAFF. identified transcripts Of the
robbery book OF Chief Devery which
he had made for the committee. A sum-
mary showed that from January l, 1898
to May Is. 1929. 1859 robberies were re-
ported. The total value of goods stolen
was $3.50, si4. Witness said the robbery
book dated back to March /. 1897 From
that date to January 1. $685. there were
694 robberies for total value of ST.. SGT.
All the robberies since 1895 in the book
were 'burglaries" and were cases where
arrests had been made. None Of the en-
tries was a complaint Of a robbery. Dill
Ion made a comparison OF the Twentieth
precinct book and the chiefs book. He
pointed out various discrepancies and
said there was no way of discovering
from police records how many robberies
had been committed and reported to the
police within any given time. Chairman
Mazet inquired of Mr.. Moss II there was
any rule in the police department re-
quiring the chief Of police 10 keep a rec
ord OF all robberies. Mr.. Moss did not
know. but Associate Counsel Clarke said
that there was a rule 10 that effect.
Mr.. Moss read from the reports Of vari-
Gus precincts in an effort to pove to the
committee that discrepancies existed be-
