Cannon on rules and tariff bill was
given places on coinage, weights and
measures and Indian affairs. The lat
ter is committee of considerable i'm
portance. Representative Wood, who
has opposed the speaker on rules and
the tariff bill, is given places on two
minor committees, industrials and ex-
positions and Pacific railroads. Repre-
sentative Jameson is on the commit
tee on Industrial affairs and Pacific
railroads
The Iowa members who have been
given scant consideration by the
speaker are not at all downcast. They
feel they were right in their fights on
rules and on tariff bill and neither
asked for consideration or expected it.
Had Speaker Cannon given Iowa such
committee positions as it was entitled
to, he would have promoted some of

replaced by Representative Olmstead

Feeding Cattle Not Abundant.
Stock World. J

tl4lFe SUCK w oIiu,)
Demand for feeding cattle is picking
up. Those with a penchant for Selling
time by the forelock apprehend that a
few weeks hence, when the fact dawns
on the country that it is face to face
with the task of husking a bumper
crop, everybody, or nearly SO, will ac-
quire an appetite for thin cattle and
prices will be marked up as a result.
Certain it is that there is no surplus
of feeding cattle in the country. Feed
may be cheaper, and probably will.
but it is preposterous to expect feeding
cattle to be piled on a bargain counter,
,netaphorcally speaking. That there
will be few feeders from the range
country is foregone conclusion and
most of the cattles cheduled to leave
Kansas pastures will be fat.
A word to the wise is sufficient. The
time to secure feed lot material is when
there is an opportunity to make a good
selection and before the rush.

Stockyards Notes.

Iowa is putting in a lot of feeding
sheep.
Big packing hogs are encountering
sharp discrimination.
Choice native lambs are very scarce
in the sheep house.
Native breeding ewes are so cents
lower for the week.
Packers disappointed at the light run
Of western cattle this week. y
Sheep and yearling values have been
getting another severe hammering.
Colorado feeders show no disposition
to make contracts for feeding lambs.
1t looks as tho there will not be
enough feeding sheep to go around this
year.
Whenever the situation looks Just
right to the cattle feeder 1t is a good
time to buy some feeding cattle. The
corn is assured, but there is no assur-
ance that feeders will be as cheap few
weeks hence as they are now.
After a while a great number of the
cattle feeders who just now look indif-
ferently upon the feeder cattle situation
may be falling over one another in the
strenuous game of getting thin ones
into which to unload this record corn
crop.
There is still cause for little bull
lish feeling toward future cattle trade
as long as the runs are held down to
such moderate volume. Killers are
making strenuous effort to hold the
prices for palmer classes to present
levels, but how long will their efforts
avail them?

tailed 10000, against SS.5O7 a week ago

TO MAKE DIVORCE CHEAPER
LORD GoRELL OPENS CAMPAIGN
AT KING EDWARDS REQUEST.
Motion Dealing With the Subject
Resisted in the House of Lords
by Archbishop of Canterbury.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 11--Lord Gorell. who
resigned the presidency of the high court
OF divorce in order to devote himself to
securing cheaper divorce facilities. it is
stated. at the kings earnest request
has opened his campaign by introducing
IN the house cf lords d motion dealing
with the subject The lowest price at
which Londoner is now able to secure
divorce In an undefended case is about
$500. The present system. however, not
only makes divorce available only to the
rich, but the fact that Jurisdiction is
connned to only one court in London in
creases the costs to litigants who dwell
outside, owing to the expense of bring
Ing witnesses to London, etc. The mo-
ton introduced by Lord Gorell urges
that jurisdiction should be conferred on
the county courts at which the poorer
classes could have their cases heard.
Lord Gorell, III introducing his motion.
dWelt on the hardships undergone n
TINS connection and gave instances in
which poor people had saved UP for
twenty years before they were able to
bring proceedings, which We're then un-
defended. The impossibility of obtaining
a remedy led many persons TO commit
bigamy or to live in open immortality.
The opposition to the motion was led
Dy the Archbishop Of Canterbury, who
feared that to grant wholesale facilities
tor divorce would encourage pressure
with the object of making divorce OBJ
tainable for other causes than those for
which 1t was obtainable today. He said
the case of America, where the number
Of divorces had SO largely increased was
a lesson to England.
Viscount Halifax also pointed out the
American system as an example to
avoid He declared that divorces were

the population. Upon the lord chancellor
undertaking to consider the appointment
of a committee to inquire into the mat
ter Lord Gorell withdrew his motion.

Henry Z. Davis of Washington, have en-
gagged rooms at Carvel Hall, as has also
Mrs. Parker. They are expected tomor-
row afternoon. Mai. Leonard has made
no reservations a the hotel, but is ex-
pected to report to Commander Hood to-
morrow.
None Of the witnesses is here except a
few civilians who reside in Annapolis.
Several marine officers and enlisted men
are reported to be nearby and ready to
appear before the court Monday morn
ing.
As for theories, they are legion. Every
body has one differing, If only a little,
from those of others. There are three,
however, which stand out prominently.
All admit that the row started soon after
Sutton, Rocker. Osterman and Adams
left Carvel Hall together for the barracks.
and that it started as fist fight. Then
the theorists begin to differ.
One of the Theories.
One of the theories is that Sutton. aft
err he shot Rocker which, II was stated
at the first trial he did, turned the re-
volver on himself and fired the shot which
caused his death. One of the witnesses
said that Sutton exclaimed, when told
that he had killed Rocker. well. then,
here goes" 1t was this version of the
affair that the court accepted. Another
theory is that Sutton and another officer
were struggling for the possession of the
formers revolver when 1t went off. The
third theory is that through operation
Of a mysterious code that Is alleged to
exist in the Marine Corps, Sutton killed
himself after his fellow-off1cers had de-
cfded that he should. Nobody here be-
lieves that Miss Stewart. the Pittsburg
girl whom Sutton was with early the
night he was killed, had any connection
with the affair.
One phase of the case is the report that
Sutton was extremely unpopular with
his brother officers.
1T seems very strange an Annapolis
man, who knows all the men involved in
the affair, said, that none OF us around
here ever heard of Sutton's alleged un-
popularity until after his death. Until
then he seemed quite popular. He was in
the Naval Academy at one time. but
failed to pass his examinations and was
