LAKIN CLAIMS INSANITY.
This is Defense Of Aged Man Charged
With Abusing Girls.

The attempt OF THOMAS Lakin TO set
up an insanity defense TO the charges
made against him by two l0-year-old
girls. gave rise To some interesting
questions in Judge Phelans court.
Wednesday morning.
Lakin, who is 81 years old, excused
his actions with the children, whom
he enticed into his switch tower. by
offering a plea of seniie dementia. AT
the time of his arrest, ne was oper-
ating an interlocking switch tower fo-
the Michigan Central railroad at Beau
bien-st., where the Grand Trunk and
Lake Shore tracks converge. Lakia
guarded % levers, which were the
safeguard OF every passenger on Is
Messenger trains which passed over
those tracks every day, not 10 men.
ton numerous freight trains and
switch engines.
Judge Phelan personally brought
that element into the case. when Lakil
was about TO leave the stand, after
irving TO establish his mental incom-
netency. The defendant admitted that
his position was a most important one.
and also said that he had never men
toned any traces OF insanity to his
employers.
The case. one OF the vilest ever
heard in the records court. was ad'
iourned until Wednesday afternoon.

PACKERS MAKE GENERAL
ADVANCE IN MEAT RATES
Say Patten Wheat Deal Is Responsible
Retail Dealers Say Packers
Have Agreement

CHICAGO, May ga general ad-
vance IN the price OF all dressed
meats TO retailers VAS announced by
the packers today The increase Is
the elimination OF series OF adj
vanees during the last thirty days
which have boosted the prices 70 cents
al around
The advances were announced today
as follows. Mutton from 10 10 II cents
a pound. beef from II TO 40; lambs
from IL and II 10 IA. AMI pork from
IL ga 10 ~ l-2.
The packers declare the advance 10
necessary because of the recent Pat'
ten wheat deal and the resultant AID
vances in the price OF all grains. The
high price OF wheat has caused a radi'
cal advance in corn prices and mas
made feed much higher. Farmers AMI
live stock men have taken advantage
OF this situation TO boost the price oi
live stock on the hoof, say the pack
ers, and they are compelled To boost
prices all around TO make profit
Retail meat dealers deny this now
ever saying there is unquestionaoiy
an agreement between the pig pack
ers. AS proof OF this statement they
point 10 the fact that all the packers
have made exactly the same increases
10 retailers.
