POULTRY AND EGG INDUSTRY.
Small SINNERS Being Driven Out OF
Business by the Big Packing
Houses.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 3.-The big
packing houses have made such inroads
into the business of packing and ship
ping eggs and poultry for consump-
ton in eastern markets that the busi-
ness of the small shippers in this
part of the west is threatened with
destruction, according to members of
the Produce Dealers association OF
Kansas and Oklahoma, which met
here yesterday to, consider the stu
alton. John Stewart, of Concordia,
Kas., president of tho association,
said:
''The packers are so firmly in
trenched that / do not believe we can
do much to oppose them L do not
known whether the recent operations
of the big dealers could be called a
corner or not. However, do know
that four big firms have stored 144,-
100000 eggs, or 100000 cases. At this
time last year more than one billion
eggs, or 100000 cases, were in cold
storage. There will be fewer eggs
stored this year because the prices
are higher"
Among the men at yesterdays
meeting it was asserted that the
poultry dealers are compelled to pay
higher rates than the packers for
shipments of dressed poultry from
here to the seaboard. "The produce
dealers of the west" one dealer is
quoted as saying, "must combine
against the packers, for an important
industry is being ruined"

Fairgrounds greatly lessen the ju-
venile mischief that often runs into
crime. A noted lecturer says perma-
nent Fairgrounds in cities are impor-
tant moral helps, and that the police
department in London reported, many
years ago, that crime was largely
repressed by giving children chance
to work off their surplus energy in
play. New York city made the same
discovery, and not only provides suf-
ticient Fairgrounds for the schools,
but is rapidly adding to the number
of small parks and open spaces in
crowded districts.

statement from Rome that they were

the contrary, they were absolutely

the mob continued so threatening
that our brother officers and marine
who happened to be on the piazza
ran to our rescue. We acted only in
self-defense, and against large,
hostile crowd. We did not strike the
police. Doubtless misunderstanding
of the two languages had something
to do with the trouble. We have been
allowed to remain together in prison,

Paul Kruger will have no right to
complain if the men that do the fight
ing, and not those that do the talking
1000 or 5000 miles away from the
fighting, are the men in whose hands
the issue of peace or war in South
Africa win rest. 1t seems to be the
present purpose to let the Boer sol
diers determine whether England's
terms shall be accepted or rejected.
1t is evidently the intention of the
men on the ground to ignore their
former president in this exigency.

Edward Everett Hale, who recently
completed his eightieth year, is one
of the country's grand old men. Al
though residing in Massachusetts, all
sections of the country know him
and admire him. His book on Kan
sas and Nebraska, published in 1854,
Just about the time those territories
were organized under the Douglas
act, was one of the earliest works
on that locality. He was prominently
identified with Eli Thayer's Emigrant
Aid society, which sent many of the
earliest settlers into Kansas, and
was a powerful factor on freedoms
side in the fight which resulted
in victory in the admission of the
state under its free state constitu-
tion in 1861.

A table of figures recently pub
1ished, arranged by decades, shows
that the immigration into the United
States from 1921 to the census year
1900 was slightly in excess of 19,O0o,-
900. Those eighty years cover the
entire period since official statistics
of American immigration began to be
collected. Every country under the
sun figures in this movement. Ger
many has contributed more than any
other single nation, sending, from
1921 to 1900, little over 100000 per-
sons to the United States. Ireland
stands next on the roll with $780,

American soldiers are always gen
erous to an enemy who respects the
recognized laws of war. When they
deal with lurking assassins and saw

the simple law of self-defense, to use
sterner measures, but even then in
cline to the side of mercy and for
bearance as far as practicable.

COPTIC SETS MARK FOR THE
YOKOHAMA RUN
Arrived Unexpectedly Last Evening
Two Days Ahead Of Time-Sailed
This Afternoon for San Francisco.

The O. and O. company's Coptic
Captain Rinder arrived unexpectedly y
last evening from the Orient, two days
ahead of time. Nobody was antiCipat-
ing that the vessel would reach here
before this afternoon and when it was
reported that the Coptic had been
sighted, few people credited the rumOr.
In fact Diamond Head Charlie did not
sight the vessel but she was reported
by the pilot office when anchored off
the harbOr.
1t was thought that perhaps she had
broken all records for the run from NO-
kohama to this port. This feat was not
quite accomplished however although
she broke her own record and all but
broke the best record for the run,
which is held by the China. The Cop
tic finished the trip yesterday evening
in days and 2 hours and IL minutes
from Yokohama. In order to do this,
she had to keep up a high average Of
speed and had it not been for very bad
weather two days before reaching port
she would have made the run days.
She left Hong Kong February and
Yokohama February 15 the daily runs
/ being as follows: February l6, $40
miles, February II, 377 miles Febru-
airy Is, $50 miles; February 19, 81 miles;
February 20 $50 miles; February 20,
367 miles; February 21 354 miles; Feb
Iuary ", 54Z miles, teDIudIy 20 0OO
miles and from noon until $3.50 D. m. of
yesterday, she covered 1O6 miles to port
making the entire distance covered
1887 miles. one days was lost on ac-
count of crossing the $50 degree of lon
gitude bound east.
The wind was generally with the ves-
sci during the trip and she was able
to carry considerable canvas to advan-
tage. on February q and February
D. the wind shifted around and, to-
gether with high and rough seas, cut
down the average considerably.
The former record made by the Cop
tic was 9 days y hours and 80 minutes.
This was made in October, 1896. The
China made the same trip in days 10
hours and II minutes i'm September of
the same year but established the fast
est record i'm December Of the follow
ing year with s days hours and min
|utes. The present run of the Coptic is
therefore, the second best record. She
sailed for San Francisco today at 1 p.
m. She had a number of through pas
sengers and brought two law overs for
Honolulu. She left about 800 tons of
freight here,
