Wolf Drive ScaIps 600.

That Big Wolf Drive that WAS pull
ed off west and south OF Appleton
City Saturday resulted In no scalps
Tor the mighty hunters. Maybe they
did not form lines properly, or there
was not enough hunters-or the
wolves entered into acombine to dis
credit the hunter by hiding and keep
ing out OF the way Of that mighty
host. One OF she Appleton City hunt
ers voiced his lament through his
home.paper over the failure OF the
hunt from this point Feb. 22nd and
said the hunters from the north anC
west did not form q line-although,
the north line got one wolf, and his
line got none. The main point In u
wolf hunt Is TO find the Wolf. We re-
greet the failure OF this hunt, because
We would like TO see the pests de-
stroyed, for we feel sure that unless
this is done they will soon be so
plentiful that great damages will re.

IT'S A REVISION L00PH0LE.

PORTO RICANS RESENTFUL.
Island Leaders Bitterly Denounce Pres
ident Taft's Message.

San Juan. Porto Rico, May 13.-Pres-
ident Taft's message ON Porto Rico
has caused excited and unfavorable
comment here, and the presidents at
titude has caused general disappoint-
ment among politicians of all parties.
Louis Munos Rivera. leader of the
Unionist party and member of the
delegation which went to Washington
to discuss with the state department
Porto Rican legislation. was bitter in
his denunciation of President Taft's
message.
'Thc message" he said. (which
President Taft has sent to congress
has caused feeling of the most pro-
found discomfort. The speaker of the
house of delegates has sent Il cable
gram direct to congress in behalf of
the house, and the Unionist party re-
serves to itself the adoption of resolu-
tions depending upon developments.
We will remain still and await the
legislation congress chooses to pass.
II foresee greater conflicts for the
future" continued Senor Rivera. ter
minating in complete rupture be-
tween the government and public Opin-
ion. The UniOniStS cannot be held re-
sponsibe for it. They tried to pre-
vent Il clash, but could not. The mes
sage of the president is an insult
heaped upon weak people that can
not reply"
Santiago Iglesias. organizer and
leader of the American Federation of
Labor in Porto Rico, said:
"The message is a strong reproof
generally, but it does not discriminate
between the various classes. While
the Unionists are solely responsible for
the present condition of affairs, Presi-
dent Taft accuses the Republicans,
Federationists, Socialists and neutrals,
composing the large majority, who
have not the slightest responsibility
for the quarrel between the Unionists
and the executive council. The organ
lied laborers are dissatisfied with the
message, because they see retrogres-
sion. They believe that the United
States congress should not punish
those who have had no hand in the
crisis"
DIR. J. G. Barbosa. leader of the Re-
publican party, who is serving his
third term in the executive council,
said:
"The presidents message is unjust
in treating all Porto Ricans alike.
Necessarily we shall all have to suffer
the consequences for the errors COM
mitted by half Il dozen politicians. who
obtained their influence and prestige
through open support of the Americans
controlling the insular government"

HITS BEEF TRUST.
British Committee Calls
Combine Ruthless.
DICTATES PRICES IN ENGLAND
Fear Is Expressed That Results to
the Meat Supply of the United
Kingdom May Prove
Serious.
DICTATES PRICES IN ENGLAND

London, May 13.-The committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the alleged
combinations in the meat trade in the
United Kingdom has issued its report,
the greater part of which is devoted to
the American beef trust and its repre-
sentativcs in London.
The committee concludes that, while
n combination exists between four
companies In the United States en-
gagged in the United Kingdom. it is not
at present sufficiently powerful seri-
ouSly to endangcr the beef trade as a
whole. But should these firms. as
seems possible. acquire considerable
interest In the Argentine the situation
with regard to the meat supply of the
United Kingdom might become seri-
Gus.
with such command" the report
says, "of practically the whole import
cd live cattle and chilled and frozen
beef trade. the firms composing such
combination might be able to deter
mine beef prices ut Smithtield market
itself and largely affect prices through
out the country"
According to the report. the repre-
Sentatives of the American companies
in London all told the committee that
they knew nothing of the conditions
prevalent in the United States. and
commenting on these statements, the
committee says:
"The committee reluctantly is COM
PEELED to express grave doubt as to the
reality of this uniform ignorance. and
its assumption naturally has tended to
throw doubt upon the other statements
made by the representatives of these
firms.
1T is almost incredible that Armour
& Co., Swift & Co., Morris & Co. and
the Hammond Beef company. the last
named representing the National Pack
ing company, should be in combination
in the United States and in competi-
tion in the United Kingdom"
In paragraph relating to the local
tendency to eXaggerate "the power
and malevolcnce of successful trade
competitors" the committee comments
upon the trade methods of the Ameri-
can companies.
"These are superior to those prevail
ing in this country" it says, "and per-
hapS less influenced by considerat tions
of sentiment, AS one witness put 1t.
Business is business all the way, and
we do not run business for love- This
maxim is ruthlessly applied by the
American companies. They are there
fore unpopular among their trade COM
petitors."
The committee failed to find evi-
dence Of any deliberate action on the
part of the Americans with the object
of destroying incOnvenicnt rivals, and
1t does not think that they have vet
attempted to capture or control the
whole beef trade in Great Britain, as
alleged
At the same time it is satisfied that
the firms mentioned consult together
with regard to prices and the amount
Of the supplies to be put on the mar
ket and that they fixed the prices at
which chilled beef shall be sold in the
provinces. Furthermore, that provin-
cial statesmen are practically bound to
sell at the price daily dictated by the
Americans.
