DECLARES BEEF
TRUST IS BROKEN
Strike Leader Says Combine Is
Already Disintegrating,
Whipped by Unions.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Homes D. Call,
international secretary of the butch
ers' organization, said today:
The greatest feature of the strike
is that the meat trust has been
broken. Instead Of the packers dis
rupting the unions, the disintegration
Of one of the greatest combinations
the world has ever seen has already
set in.
For ten years, from 1890 to 1900,
the consolidation Of the meat COM
panies was carried on, and from 1,741
packingplants in this country, the
number was reduced to 76O.
Now the tide will set in the other
way. The packers know they have
already lost control Of large part
OF their business, and that the live
stock dealers will do all that is pos
sible to assist in their defeat. Since
the strike the independent plants Of
Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati, In
dlanapolis, Pittsburg and Springfield,
Mass, have been working night and
day. This trade will never be recov-
cred by the trust.
My reports are that the danger
has already been realized by the big
packers. 1t took the packers twenty
years to build up their combination,
and now the fruits of the victory will
be snatched from them by the labor
unions. The public is supporting the
independent plants because Of the
government against the meat monop-
oly.''
Trying to Win Back Men.
Notwithstanding the claim of the
packfnghouse managers, that they
have no difficulty in securing work
men, they are said to be making very
strong efforts to induce their former
employees to return to work. The
latest move in that line is the dis
trlbutiOn Of cards among the wives
Of the strikers, urging them to induce
their husbands to return to the pack
1ngplants and offering increased pay.

$4,000 hogs in the pens and between

alone had been all sold. Today's live
stock receipts were nearly one-fourth
more than yesterday.
The packers expressed the opinion
that with supplies so heavy good
portion Of the stock could not be
handled by the packing plants until
tomorrow. Today's receipts were:
Cattle, $500; hogs, $4,000; sheep
$4,000.
The packers announced today that
they would attempt to import no more
unskilled labor. They said they had
all the raw men they needed and In
the future would take on only few
skilled men. This news was declared
by the strikers to be a bait to them in

Chi-fu, Aug. 3.-A desperate three-

acres, which were formerly allotted to
Indians, who have since died. The
tracts will now be sold by the heirs at

Of May 81, 1902.
Persons desiring to purchase any Of
these lands should first select such as

Chances on Championship.

Play in the mississippi golf
tournament may result in the making
or new champion and If preliminary
indications are to be taken into con-
s1deration the championship may
come to Minneapolis. ALI of the Wis
iting golfers unite in declaring that
the Minneapolis, and especially the
M1n1kahda, players have an advantage
IN the course. The visitors continue
to talk of the thickness of the links,
but the local players, familiar with
the lay Of the land, are making little
complaint.
In the qualifying round at medal
play IN the Women's trans Mississippi
championship yesterday Miss Moulton
OF Minlkahda had little trouble in
vanqu1shlng her opponents and TAX
Ing the trophy for low score. Miss
Moulton did not suffer from any Of
the nervousness which seemed to af-
feet the playing of the majority Of
her adversaries. Some Of those who
failed to qualify in this event have
covered the course under less Stress
full circumstances in scores far be-
low those turned in yesterday. An
other point which mitigated against
low scores was the fact that the wom-
en- played the mems course. This
turned the play into more matter of
labor than of pastime. Mrs. Roope
Of Denver did not play true to form
and Mrs: sprague, while qualifying,
had trouble during the play. If she
plays the game Of yesterday in the
coming contests, Miss Moulton should
land the Women's championship for
Minikahda. Just what effect the gall
lery will have upon her form lin the
semi-finals remains to be seen. The
scoring would seem to indicate that
the women gained in confidence after
a time as. the scores in the latter half
OF the play were generally better than
those Of the first. Miss Harrison is
expected to improve as the match
progresses and Miss Jordan is looked
upon as dangerous competitor.
Ladies' Driving Contest.
Miss Jordan won the driving con-
test handily with a score Of 139 yards.
Mrs. Roope was second with 131
yards. A large gallery watched the
contest which took place in front of
the clubhouse yesterday afternoon.

fell to Mrs. Roope of Denver, 81,
While Miss Moulton and Mrs. Sprague
tied with the score Of 3d. Miss Har-
rison was third, with 35. The ninth
hole with it's treacherous green was
chosen by Mr.. Bendlow for the latter
contests. 1t was a severe test for the
ability of the contestants and the win
ners are entitled to full credit for
their work. The bunker fronting the
green proved the undoing Of number
OF entrants, some giving up in despair
without attempting to reach the
green.
The links are in splendid condition.
Their speed seems to grow with each

drawn from the opening play of the

have trouble. They reasoned
that as the play started at
an early hour this morning, the dew

DES MONIES MAN
NOW IN THE LEAD
First Half Of Qualifying Round
in Golf Tourney Played
This Morning.

There was spirited playing on the
Minikahda links this morning in the
first half of the qualifying rounds for
the trans Mississippi amateur golf
championship. There was strong
wind blowing, which greatly inter-
fered with good scoring, causing spe-
cial trouble at the sixth hole. The
Minneapolis men were all in excellent
form and, as a rule, outplayed the
visitors. The scores, as made this
morning, playing eighteen holes, were

RIFLE TEAM FOR
Fl. RILEY MATCHES
GEORGIA TO BE REPRESENTED.
tAVANNAH WILL FURNISH MA
JoRITY OF THE TEAM.

Military Appropriation Sufficient to
Send n Team of 10 or 16 Men.
Members Must Have Had 70 Per

Months-SOme of GeOrgia's Best
Shots Will Thus Be Debarred.
Team VIII Leave for FIT. Riley
Not Later Than Aug. Is - Fhe
Matches Will Be shot Aug. 22-27.
Savannah will probably furnish the
majority of the members of the team
which will represent Georgia in the
national rifle matches at Fl. Riley this
month. The matches will be shot dur
ing the week beginning Aug. %.
The condition of the military appro-
priation was such that it was thought
very doubtful whether Georgia would
be represented in the national con-
tests.
Capt. w. G. Austin held a confer
ence with Gov. Terrell yesterday and
last night he telegraphed Maj. w. E.
Coney that the Governor had assured
him of a sufficient amount to defray
the expenses of a team of fifteen or
sixteen men.
The contests at Fl Riley will be
the largest ever held under govern
ment supervision. Besides the teams
from the Eastern states, which have
shot regularly at Seagirt, nearly all
of the Western states will also enter
teams. This will add largely to the
interest of the matches.
The Georgia. team will enter more
with a view to keeping up with the
improvements in rifle practice than
with view to winning prizes, 1t will
also have in view the establishment
nah.
The fact that all members of the
team must have had rs per cent. of
active military duty during the twelve
months preceding the contests will bar
many of the best shots in the state
from entering, and the shooting will
fall upon the active military men,
While this is regarded as proper in
a military sense, it will shut out some
of the crack shots that have hereto
fore represented Georgia at Seagirt.
The near approach of the contests
will necessitate the team leaving for
FIT. Riley not later than Aug. Is. This
leaves a little more than week for
practice on the home range and the
members of the team will have to de-
pend largely upon the preliminary
practice which they will have on the
national range.
The appropriation will provide for
all the expenses of the team. Upon
Capt. Austin's return from Atlanta
steps will be taken at once to select
the members of the team from Savan-
