WESTERN MARKET LETTER.
lsnecial Correspondcnce.l


Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 20
There was n heavy run OF cattle at all
the markets last week, caused by the
difficulties of feeders in the corn belt
account of severe winter weather COM
ing before n great many of them were
prepared for 1t. and tho worst break
of the year on fed steers was the re-
suit. The loss OH fed steers was 40 to
IS cents, and cows and heifers declined
about half as much, Range beef steers
held up more nearly steady than led
steers, and ssockers and feeders lost
only 10 to 25 cents during the week.
The run today is 600 head here. about
one-third as heavy as week ago. and
all the markets are lightly supplied, and
prices are 10 to % cents higher today
as n result. Colorado beef steers arc
selling at 4.30 to 800. some choice Col
orado feeders at 800 stockers 4.o0 to 4.35.
and COWS and heifers $50 to AIS. New
Mexico cows are selling at 80 to $50.
Gamers 2.75 to 3.15. bulls around 3.2o.
heavy calves, 4 80 TO $50. veals $50 to
500 The break last week was only tenn
porary. as the big run OF cattle could
not possibly keep on coming, and the
quick and substantial recovery Of prices
today gives encouragement to cattle
feeders than the market Will hold up
good from now on.
Sheep and lambs arrived to the amount
Of 81 600 head last week, a fair run for
the second week in December. and the
market closed the week without much net

WHITE SLAVES
Of SALT LAKE
Interesting Conversation Over
heard by Business Men Re-
garding Police Methods.
CHANCE FOR BARLOW AGAIN
Why Not Investigate Stories of Graft
On the Unfortunate Women
or the Town.

A business man (his namc will be
furnished oheerfully to the chief of
police or the mayor on application)
had been working late at night at his
office and had just turned out the lights
preparatory To going home While put
ting on his overcoat he heard excited
voices coming from an outer alcovc at
the front of his office. Walking quietly
to the door he discovered three women
and one policeman in a very earnest
conversation.
IT'S just this way" exclaimed one
OF the women. "We don't mind COM
ing through with the dough to any rea-
sonable amount. but when the chief
changes the man on the beat three
times in one week It's sort Of rubbing
It In"
"Yes; and that's not all, either" said
another. We've squared things with
Hempel and he ought to come through
and give US what's coming. It's simply
rotten the way you people are treating
US girls"
How do you expect US to make liv-
ing when you graft all we get," con-
tributed the third woman. But the
wearer of the brass buttons was obdu-
rate. An understanding WAS finally
reached and the quartet dispersed.
Chief of Police Sam Barlow has said
that he would be thankful for any
Information in regard to crookedness on
the police force. The business man who
heard the above mentioned convcrsa-
ton does not care for publicity, but his
name will be given to the chief of
police should he desire It.
WHAT COMMISSION SAYS.
The following is an extract from the
report presented by Mr.. Dillingham;
Dec 10. TO the United States senate
from the immigration commission on
the Importation and Harboring OF
Women for Immoral Purposes. 1t is.
of course, difficult to prove by specific
cases the relation of the police to
this traffic (white slave) and to es-
tablish by specific evidence the fact
generally accepted that the girls and
disorderly house keepers regularly pay
tho police for protection; but high po-
lice officials, prosecuting officers. and
social workers in all quarters assert
that in many. IL not all, OF our large
cities much corruption of this kind
exists Most of the girls questioned
by the commissions agents on this
point said that payments were made to
the police to insure their protection
from too frequent arrests. 1t is, OF
course,a violation OF the law for the po-
lice to demand or receive such money;
but the woman who did not pay for
protection was frequently arrested. The
woman who did pay was sometimes
arrested when the policeman must
''rnake good" -at headquarters. When
the women understood this situation
they did not complain. When a police
officer. a plainclothes man, was shift
cd he naturally felt obliged to make
arrests. Under the circumstances he

NOT A BAD STORY.
Anecdote Told BY Patrick F. Murphy
Makes Hit in Paris.

From the Kansas City Star
Patrick F. Murphy during his stay in
Paris last month was the lion of the city.
Such after dinner speaking had never been
heard there before. Mr.. Murphy it was
unanimously agreed, was better than De-
pew at his best Paris was above all
amused by his circus story. This story
was reproduced in Figaro and even in the
at a dinner in the gray old Rue de Var
enne, the most aristocratc street in the
aristocratic Faubourg st. German, it ran:
Zone summer afternoon the frog, the
duck, the lamb and the skunk set out to-
gether for the circus. Down the dusty
sunny road they passed in single file. In
due course they reached the village green.
There in the middle of the green stood the
circus tent, white as snow in the sun.
They gave a shout of joy and ran for
ward. The frog reached the doorkeeper
first. As he had a greenback of course
he was passed right in. The duck had a
bill, so he followed the frog. The lamb had
four quarters. He trailed after the frog

Jackdaws Stolen JeweIry.

From the London Chronicle.
A gold chain and locket which were
lost in Buckingham a few days ago
were recovered in singular manner.
A gentleman and his wife, to whom
the articles belonged, lost them during
a walk
Several days after, what seemed to
be the chain and locket were seen hang
ing upon telephone wire. A ladder
was obtained, and as there was moth
ing to rest it against, some men held
it in a perpendicular position while the
lady's husband assembled and unwound
the chain from the wire. The IND
proved to be the lost treasure.
The theory is that the articles were
picked up by jackdaw, which al1ght-
ed on the telephone wire. and that the
wind caused the chain to swing until
it became wound around the wire.

Profitable Business.

Freeman Tilden in Van Norden Magazine
A fine game is being broken up in
Nassau county, New York, by hard
hearted men who want to see a little
money left in the county treasury The
game might be known as catch the va
grant and was played by justices of
the peace, their eonstables and what
ever Weary Willies or Tired Toms
happened to be in the neighborhood.
The point of the game is that for each
arrest and sentence to the county jail
of a vagrant the constable gets from
$5.95 to $l0.45 and the justice gets
from So to $3.50. One justice had
made 81 commitments in five months
and was setting swift pace when
stopped One constable had made So
arrests and was looking for more when
the game ended All the Migrants
were sent to Jail for three days, re-
arrested and sent to Jail for three
days, etc, etc.-a sort of perpetual mo-
ton which was highly profitable and
amusing. 1t is not recorded whether
the Migrants got anything out of IT,;
but presumably good, likely vagrant
was In demand and was worth his
weight in gold during the palmy days
