eleven years. They we're taken to

frightened badly, and could hardly
talk. The police were able to obtain
a little information. 1t was stated by
the little girls that they had gone on
the hill to gather wild flowers. While
plucking the flowers, 1t is said, Red
wood approached them, telling them
that he had some money he wished to

When they reached the guardhouse
of the Riverside mill on Marshall

were then informed that they would

Colored Witness at Least Was Aware

Haywood trial, in which he played SO
prominent a part. said the other day:
Some of the evidence in that trial
was SO transparently false that It re-
minds me Of case that came OF in
Alabama few years back. One of
the witnesses in this case was an ex-
tremely ignorant man. As his testi-
mony progressed. his ignorance be-
came so shockingly evident that the
Judge. looking sternly down at him
said:
Look here. sir, are you acquaint-

1T so.

CONSUMERS PAY MORE. BUT RAW
MATERIALS SHOW NO
INCREASE.

Chicago.--Investigat OF the pack.
Ing trust now under way by govern.
ment officials is alleged to have devel
oped that ten men in Chicago compose
the dynamic force OF formidable list
Of corporations that control prices
from those OF meat on the hoof to
shoe. and from breadstuffs to trans
portation.
These ten men are asserted to hold
the balance upon the worlds supply Of
the commonest necessities of life: J.
Ogden Armour. f. F. Swift. Ira N. Nor
ris. Thomas e. Wilson. s. A. McRob-
erts. l.. F. Swift, Edward Morris, T. J..
Connors, Arthur Meeker, Lawrence A.
Carton.
The most casual newspaper reader
will readily recognize the list as being
from the inside of the big packing
plants of Chicago. That fact becomes
significant when II is stated that they
are all directors of the same corpora-
tion-the National Packing Company.
organized under the laws of New Jer
sey, with a capitalization of $15,000..
900. The directorate controls the fol-
lowing:
The price of meat to all consumers
The price of cattle to all breeders.
The price OF leather to all factories.
and thus. incidentally:
The price Of shoes.
The grain trade is controlled, and. II
follows:
Control Bread, Too.
The price OF bread.
Thus without taking such endless
details as the fertilizer market, where
the trust controls the price that Q
farmer pays for his fertilizer. 1t ap-
pears that the latest fight of the gov.
ernment in the trust field is directed
to the two chief essentials OF life
bread and meat.
That the big ten at Chicago has
raised the price Of these things to the
consumer and made no corresponding
increase in price paid for raw material
is the chief assertion OF the govern
ment, and 1t is upon this general line
that the most interesting trust fight In
the country is now being planned.
when the directors Of the National
Packing Company decide upon the
price to be paid for cattle. that settles

tion that has come into the hands Of

FINE GIFT TO PRINTERS HOME
Woman Donates 100000 for Comfort
Of AGED Members Of Craft.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-A Colorado
Springs woman has offered 100000
for the establishment of an endow.
ment fund for the erection and mainte-
nance of cottages In which to house
the families of inmates of the Union
Printers home in this city. The board
Of trustees Of the home, at the final
session at their meeting here, passed
the necessary amendment to the char
ter of the home to permit the estab-
lishment of the fund.
Another important action taken by
the trustees was the erection of tu-
berculosis sanitarium. The present
hospital annex will be used for this
purpose and the most advanced meth
DDS known to science for the treat
ment of consumption will be adopted.
The offer of the 100000 from the
woman, whose name is withheld, was
made about one year ago, but could
not be accepted, because of the char
ter as 1t then stood. The last Legisla.
ture passed law permitting incorpor.
ations to change their charters.
1t is expected that citizens from all
over the country will contribute to the
fund and that within a few years the
amount will have grown sufficiently to
accommodate all occupants Of the hos
pital. Heretofore there has been .
great deal OF hardship among the fam.
lilies of the printers because of, en-
forced separation. The new fund will
permit the relatives to live near them
in cottages and tents.
There are about sixty patients in
the hospital annex and nearly 100 In
the regular building.

Shortage Of Cars Begins.

Denver.-Because Of a shortage Of
cattle cars live stock is being shipped
into Denver from eastern Colorado In
box-cars. During the past few days
several carloads have arrived at the
stock yards in this way.
The railroads are already complain
ing that they are having difficulty in
supplying all the cars demanded.
When the heavy shipments of coal
commence. which will occur in ten
days or two weeks, the railways will
be unable to supply all the cars re-
quired, and may have difficulty in NOV
ing the shipments they receive.
Bdsiness in this state was never be-
fore 30 heavy at this time Of year. The
fruit crop. although not as large as
last year, requires more than thous-
and cars. The sugar beet crop will
commence moving just when the de-
mand for coal will begin to be heard.
and the general shipments of the au-
tumn. which are always heavy, will
give the railroads more business than
they can handle.
One of the members Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission is inves-
tigating the car shortage in other
parts Of the country and viii probably
come to Denver within the next month.
