Substitute for French Bill.

Washington, March 27.-The house
committee on interstate commerce fay-
orably reported the substitute for Rep
resentative French's t~hirty-six hour live
stock bill. 1t confers absolute power
on the secretary of agriculture to regu-
late stock shipments, permitting him
to extend or shorten periods as he may
deem proper. Under this bill the sec
rotary could continue to enforce the
present twenty-eight hour law, he could
permit shipments for a longer period,
or, should he be SO disposed, require
the unloading of stock every eight
hours, as demanded by some humane
society officials. The bill is not salts
factory to western congressman, and
an effort is being made to strike out
the authority to shorten periods of
shipments. II this cannot be done, the
bill will probably not pass.

FRIEND OF
SHEEPMEN
SENATOR WARREN GREAT HELP
TO THE INDUSTRY IN THE
WESTERN STATES.
Wyoming Correspondent of American
Sheep Breeder Pays High Tribute
to Worth of Senator-WoiVes and
Coyotes Worst Enemy to Sheepmen
of state at Present.

The Wyoming correspondent of the
Wyoming Sheep Breeder sends his pa
per the following, published in the is
sue of March IS:
The work of United States Senator
F. E. Warren of Wyoming, president
of the National Wool Growers associa-
ton, in securing the passage of an ap-
preparation for the bureau of animal in
dustry sufficient for the needs of hat
department, is deeply appreciated by
the sheepmen of the west, and the en-
tire country for that matter. His vic
tory also demonstrates his power in
the senate, and the wisdom Of the wool
growers in maintaining him at the
head Of their organization.
Reelection Will be Unanimous.
Senator Warren's present term ex-
pires next March, but the sheepmen,
whose great friend he is, need not wor-
ry about his return to the United
States senate, for his reelection will
be unanimous. 1t is certain, then, that
if Senator Warren retains his health
he will serve at least seven more years
in the p house of congress, where
he will ever be on the alert to combat
legislation that might in any manner
injure the sheep and wool growing in
dustry of the United States.
Work of Wolves and Coyotes.
Predatory wild animals have been
the only enemies of the hockmasters
the present winter, for wolves and coy
otes have been unusually numerous
and active and have caused consider
able losses in some sections. The
sheepmen are already agitating the APP
preparation of a larger sum by the next
state legislature, which convenes next
January, than was appropriated a year
ago, Inc they will ask that a bounty
of $40 be paid for gray wolves instead
of SO, the present price. They will al
so ask that $40 be fixed as the price
for coyotes instead OF 81, as at present.
Mountain lions should bring $50 each.
Shearing to Commence Soon.
Shearing win begin in Carbon o
ty in about three weeks, and by April
18th will be on in full blast in several
counties in the state. Shearers are
beginning to arrive in the state and
contract for their seasons work. There
promises to be plenty of men to handle
the shears, for the prices paid by the
Wyoming ~fockmasters are always the
best and very satisfactory to the wool
clippers.

three men, whose names were kept Sc
cret, but who are known to be very
prominent, were issued today by Mag
istrate Ross, after a conference about
insurance affairs with District Attor-

held the stock and the control of the

souri, custer suit. Hagerman, the
Standards counsel, submitted some
letters and accepted copies of others,
which Attorney General Hadley Of
fered. H. NJ. Tilford was the first
witness today. He answered questions
freely, and denied being pres
ent at a meeting of Rogers, Clay,

when it was decided to reorganize the
Waters-Pierc company so it might do
business in Texas, where civil and
criminal actions had been brought
against the company.

gress of the meeting some young hood
lums, boys and girls, hurled bricks on
the front porch of the residence and
otherwise deported themselves scan
dalously.

Federal Control Would Settle It.

New York, March 27.-Discussing ru-
mors of the reorganization of the
Standard Oil company, Frank Hager-
man, the chief Standard counsel in
Missouri, said that federal control
would be the solution of the problem.
Hagerman says the different laws of
the different states present many DIFF
fculties. Hadley says the evidence
gathered in the Missouri suit is suf-
ficient to bar the Standard from cwen-
ty-five states. He believes the COM
pany henceforth intends to do business
open and above board.
