She Got the Seat. All RIGHT.

One of the pert, saucy sort of young
women entered a crowded crosstoWn
car the other day In accordance with
New Year custom, not one of the men
sheltered behind newspapers rose to
give her seat. She gazed sternly at
man after man, but the threatened ones
just ducked down behind their forti-
fications. "You wait" she said TO the
girl with her, "Tll get a seat, any
how"
She picked out an obviously married
man, one of the meek, blessed be-the-
kingdom sort of chaps. You could tell
ait forty rods that~he had wife that
cherished him and brushed his collar
for him in the morning and picked out
his neckties. The young woman rushed
up to him with outstretched hand
"Why, Mr.. Smith, she gurgled, I'm
so glad to see you. How is Mrs.
Smith?"
The assailed one turned bleak and
frosty eye upon her, and rose to the
occasion. "Take my seat Clara" he
said. I'm glad to see you. 1t is very
seldom, know, that you have a chance
to take an airing on wash day. And
how Is your mistress!"
A giggle ran about the car. The men
struggled farther down behind their
papers. A young woman sat up very
straight and tried to look as if she were
not blushing as "Mr. Smith" left the
car. with final fatherly wave OF the
hand at his petrifed victim.

SUGGESTS

Declares He Will Yet Prove Charge Of
Rebatins-DeniaI Made That Gov
eminent is Using Secret Service Men
in the case-Hearing Adjourned I'm
til Monday.

Chicago, Dec 31.--Sharp verbal eX-
changes passed between the office Of
the United States district attorney anG
the Office of the Morris & Co. packing
firm yesterday. The slow and well COW
cred moves of the district attorney In
the campaign started against the pack
ers apparently troubled them.
From Morris & Co., the only firm
proceeded against as yet, came this
statement:
"The government can find nothing in
the nature Of a general system of get
ting rebates from the railroads. 1t is
possible that a few technical violations
will be found 1t is time for the dis
trict attorney either to produce the
goods against Morris & Co. or admit
that he has made a failure"
From District Attorney Sims office
came this sharp reply:
Let Morris & Co. wait in patience
a few days. There are rebates sticking
out all over some of these alleged
claims"
MIR. Sims evidently has centered his
efforts upon proving the rebate case
If illegal claims against the railroads
are established to the satisfaction OF
the district attorney he will proceed
to look for similar system in the
other packing corporations.
Charges that Mr.. Sims is getting In
formation from secret service men in
the employ of the packers came from
officials of Morris & Co.
ut is little to the credit of the gov
eminent" said an official, that a pre-
MUM should be placed upon employees
who betray their employers. 1t is like
a minister sending a boy out to buy
cigarets for evidence. If any great
number of technical violations of the
rebate law turn up in this Inquiry 1T
will be my opinion that they constitute
made evidence on the part of the
overzealous government agents that
are working in our plant
Denies Use of Secret Service Men.
Mr.. Sims denied emphatically that
the government worked in this way
IT is out d CulllCluSHL. SaiA 1AS'
chat Albert Martin, discharged en-
ploye of Morris & Co., and William
Wilcox, a former employe of Armour
& Co., are working in this office. This
investigation was started long before
they came here. We have no secret
service men in the employ of the pack
ers. The government would not resort
to any such underhand methods"
Harry c. Bowling of the traffic de-
partment of Morris & Co, was the only
witness in the grand jury room dur
ing the day. This makes the third day
he has occupied the entire time OF
the investigating Body. AS he develops
new lines of inquiry fresh subpoenas
are sent out and special agents dis
patched to check up the claims in ques-
ton. At least 200 of these claims are
for less than 500 each.
During the morning w. A. Ryan,
special agent for the interstate COM
MERGE commission. who is assisting Mr..
Sims, and James II. Wilkerson went
over to the offices of the Chicago, Mil
vsukee and st. Paul railroad and asked
to look at the claims put in by Nor

PROPOSED GAME LAWS PLEASE
Several Important Changes Shown in
Bill BEING Prepared.

Sioux City, Dec. 31.-Copies of a bill
of the proposed new game law for
Iowa, establishing game commission
of three on salary and making a num-
Der of changes in the present law, have
been received in Sioux City, arousing
much interest among local hunters.
Generally speaking the bill meets the
approval Of the sportsmen here and it
is likely will receive their Endorsement
when the legislature meets.
Iowa game laws are declared to be
rather lax at present, chiefly due to the
lack Of funds to adequately enforce
them. Moreover, there is no limit placed
upon the number of game birds one
may kill in a day or have in ones pos
session.
In order to secure funds to enforce
the law, the bill proposes that resident
hunters shall pay a license of 81 each,
the nonresident license of $40 remain
ing as 1t is at present.
All resident hunters may hunt upon
their own property without license,

without hesitation and Mr. Ryan went

with fresh set of papers.

Mr.. Wilkerson and Robert w. Childs
worked late checking up on the testi-
mony that Bowling has given. Mr..
Bowling was on the stand again this
morning. The grand jury adjourned at
noon until next Monday. At that time
the district attorney will begin to rush
in witnesses at the rate Of ten or
twenty day.
The appearance of w. A. Dryden.
confidential stenographer in the employ
of Armour & Co.. in the district at
torney's office, gave rise to the ques-
ton whether he had been subpoenaed.
Mr. Dryden. it developed, was only on

Little Change in the Market
Good Steers Predominating
Among the Offerings
ADVANCE IN HOG MARKET
There Was Strong Demand by Ship
pers and Spectators, and Packers
Were Also Willing Bidders, Tho
Averse to Paying as Good Prices
as Other Buyers-sheep Strong.

| Chicago, Dec. 31.-Cattle were with
out market change. Receipts were light
and a number of good steers were
among the offerings. The bulk of steers
and butcher cattle went at steady
prices. There was strong demand for
bulls.
Receipts thus far this week have
/ been comparatively small and the to-
tai is about 5000 less than for the first
three days of last week. Quality was
hardly up to the average, there 'pelnG
q larger percentage of the common and
medium grades. Because of the smaller
supply, however, the market is ESQ 40c
higher than at the low time last week
Light and plain medium quality kill
ers were the kinds which have been
relatively best sale from the start OF
the week.
The year is closing with calf prices
at the very top notch. For the past
month they have been sailing high, but
are now at the summit of the year and
for that matter are the highest on re-
cord. This abnormal advance in the
market has been due partly to the light
receipts, but mainly to the unusual de-
mand for veal Lamb chops have been
selling uniformly high regardless of the
conditions of the market for the live
animals. The public has baked at pay
ing what was considered eNtravagant
rates for both steaks and chops and
went after veal till it is now as high
as, the moon The years receipts OF
calves were practically the same as last
year, but most of the time thei market
was pretty high, tho quality was poor
err than usual. Buyers say that the in
ferior quality of the offering now ana
turnout the year was largely due to the
high price of milk which induced the
oairyman to sell that product rather
than give it to the calf. A large per-
centage of the good vealers solo yes
terday at SO, which is exceptionally
high. Buyers predict that the market
will subside after the first OF the year.
Hogs.
Demand was strong on the part OF
shippers and spectators, at an ad-
vance of 5@10c. Packers were willing
bidders, but were adverse to paying as
good prices as did other buyers.
Sheep.
sheen were strong, and there was
good demand, especially for the better
grades. Lambs were steady.
The December run is going to fall
considerably lower than the trade had
expected, some guesses being as high
at 100000 AS it is the 100000 mark
will not be reached. Current prices are
but 5000 cents lower than a month
ago. A year ago $40 was the top and
