REPORT SHOWS PRICE JUMP.
Climb Since 1899 Indicated by Gov
eminent Experts.

That there has been a general in
crease in wholesale and retail prices
of food between the years 1899 and
1908 is indicated by a report sent to
the Senate by the Department of Com
merce and Labor in response to reso-
luton introduced by Senator Craw-
ford of South Dakota calling for the
trend of prices. For purposes of com
parison the prices in 1899 are used as
normal, and the percentages of in
creases were about as follows:
Wholesale, PSI; retail, 40.
Butter-Wholesale Elgin 20.S; cream
cry, extra, 27.5; dairy, 24.6; retail, 800,
no quality indicated.
Cheese-Wholesale, 26.9 retail, 20.3.

Eggs-New laid. wholesale, S9.S; retail,
1862.

dicated.

AGREEMENT WITH GERMANY.
Commercial War Averted and Door
Opened for Other Settlements.


BY the tariff agreement with Ger
many announced the other day the
United States has not only avoided a
commercial war with the empire, but
has paved the way for settlement of
the differences existing with France
and Canada.
1t seems certain now, that the BUSH
ness interests of the United States may
look forward to a period of peace in
the commercial relations of the coun-
try. To obtain this result, Secretary
Knox and his advisers in the State
Department. as we'll as the tariff
board, were compelled to abandon
their demands for concessions on
American live cattle and meat prod
ucts and for the modification of the
German customs rules governing draw
back of duty allowed on -four when
exported from Germany.
A promise was obtained however,
that the German government would
discuss these matters automatically
Win INC States. AS HSI
goods now viii enjoy the benefit of
minimum rates of duty, the French
government must seek like treatment
for its products, many of which COM
pete with those of Germany. Other
wise the market here will be lost to
them.
If an arrangement be made with
France as expected American goods
will enter French territory upon pre-
cisely the same grounds as those of
other foreign countries. This viii
mean that the Eranco-Canadian reel
procity treaty will be of small benefit
to Canada, and the latter probably
viii decide, in view of the circum
stances. to accord to American i'm
ports treatment equivalent to that of
fered to those of France.

BIG PACKING HOUSE FAILS.
Mexican National Company Is Sent
to Receiver by Banks Suspension.


The Mexican National Packing Com
pany, a New Jersey corporation con-
trolled by English investors and oper-
ating a string of slaughter-houses and
packing-houses in the Republic Of Mex-
leo. under concessions from the Next
can government, failed the other day
with liabilities, including stock, of APP
proximately $37,00O,000.
The assets were not announced, but
it is estimated that they are in excess
of the liabilities. The company will
continue to operate its plants as u.s.
ual. Henry De Kay was appointed re-
ceiver by Judge Lanning in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court in New Jer
sey.
The appointment of receiver was
not brought about by any condition in
the live stock market, but by the ty-
ing up of part of the company's funds
in the United States Banking Company
in Mexico City, which suspended re-

TRUST IN BREAKFAST F0oDS9
Cereal Manufacturers Plan to Form
a Holding Company.

Several of the largest cereal manu-
facturers in the country plan to form a
holding company to take over the pig
factories, thus forming a trust in
breakfast foods. 1t is understood that
while some details remain to be ad-
justed, the deal is practically closed.
The following concerns will probably
be in the combine, according to the re-
port: The Northwestern Cereal Corpo-
ration; the Minneapolis Cereal and
Milling Company; the Fruen Wheat
Food and Milling Company; the Mime.
Paul Cereal and Milling Company; the
Malta Vita Food Company of Battle
Creek, Mich; the Pettijohn Fure Food
Company; and the Iowa plants of the
United Cereal Company of Chicago.
1t was further declared that seven
white -four mills in Minneapolis would
be in the merger and that two of the
large bakery concerts of that city
would also be included.

UNIONS HARD HIT BY COURT.
Verdict for $222, 900 Against Hat
makers Sequel to Boycott.

Verd1ct Tor $2SS,OOO Against nat
makers Sequel to Boycott.
The United Hatters of North Ameri-
ca, which eight years ago declared
a boycott against hats manufactured
by D. E. Loewe & Co. of Danbury,
Conn, following strike troubles, was
hard hit the other day by action in the
United States Circuit Court at Hart
ford
Loewe brought suit against Martin
Lowler and about 200 other defend
ants, members of the union, for dam
ages because of the boycott. Judge
]. P. Platt instructed the jury to re-
turn a verdict for the plaintiff, leav-
ing to the jurors the fixing of the
amount of damages. The jury gave
Loewe $4,000.
AS the Sherman antitrust act. under
which the action was brought, allows
triple damages, Judge Platt multiplied
the $4,000 by three, making the
amount for which the defendants are
liable s222.0oO.

CONSEQUENCE OF BIG PRICES.
High Cost OF Living in New York
Cause of Suicides.

Effects of the increased cost OF llF-
ing upon the working classes are
shown in the largely expanded num-
Der of applications to the city of New
York, for aid as disclosed in figures
made public the other day. The rising
tide of inability to make income keep
pace with living expenses is indicated
in the fact that during the last twelve
months more than 10000 persons
sought relief from the charities de-
partment, an increase of more than 80
per cent in five years. There were
80. 995 applications in 1904. In seven
years, the number of persons seeking
shelter in the city lodging house has
increased until last year 102,400 per-
sons applied, an Increase Of more than
100 per cent for the period. From 1l2
in 1906, the daily average has risen in
three years to 2S1. Suicides have in.
creased nearly so per cent from 1904
to 1909.

Tonnage in 1909 About 100000
Below That of 1907.

Tonnage In 1909 About 2,5OO,OOo
Below That of 1907.
Domestic commerce on the great
lakes during the calendar year of 1909
aggregated S0,974,605 tons of freight.
This tonnage, while about one-third
larger than for the year before, is
about two and one-half millions below
the tonnage for 1907. the largest to-
tai in the history of the lake trade,
according to report by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. OF the

WARRINER NOT BELIEVED.
Disagreement in Ford Trial Shows
Eight Jurors Voted for Acquittal.

After twenty-four hours deliberatioa
the jury in the case of Mrs. Jeanette
Stewart Ford, charged with blackma.l l.
ing Charles. l.. Warmer, defaulting
treasurer of the Big Four Railroad,
was unable to reach an agreement and
was discharged in Cincinnati. Judge
Swing stated after he dismissed the
jury that he had been informed that
on the last ballot eight jurors had
stood for acquittal and four for convic-
ton. The unexpected end to the case
was explained by two of the jurymen
as due to the fact that a majority
of their colleagues refused 20 give any
credit to the testimony of Warmer.
They asserted that a man who had
confessed embezzling for twenty-five
years would not hesitate to perjure
himself against a woman whom he
believed to have been the cause of his
exposure.

Annual Banquet of the Norden swed-
ish> Association.

The second annual banquet of the
Norden Benefit association was held al
A. o. u. w. hall this week. 1t was one
Of the most creditable ever given. The
and a Swedish dinner was served IN
Swedish style. The hall was beaut9-
fully decorated with the Swedish and
American colors, flags and palms.
The Norden Benefit association is a
moral and temperance organization,
the aim of which is to help one another
in case of need; to build up good and
strong characters; and 1awabiding
citizens among their own nationality
The organization has added new feat
ures, such as a sick benefit fund, and
the Young Mems Athletic club. This
organization expects to build and 10
own its own building, with its gym
nasium hall, reading room, and library,
which will be used to the interest of
the Scandinavian people of the capital
city.
During the past year about $3.50 has
been paid out in sick benefits to its
members. The Young Mems Athletic
club has given some very interesting
entertainments during the past year.
This organization has formerly been
known as the Swedish American Ma
tional league, but in a recent reorgani-
zation the name was changed to the
Norden Benefit association, which
name implies Sons of the North United
for Mutual Benefit.
The present officers of the organiza-
ton are:

OBJECT TO MASON.
SaIina Lawyers Protest Against His
Appointment as Judge.

Some fifteen lawyers from Salina
called upon Governor Stubs today to
make a protest against the appoint
ment of B. A. Mason of Salina to the
office of district judge. made vacant
by the resignation of Judge Rees.
These attorneys had nothing to say
against Mr.. Mason as a man and citi-
zen, but they did not think his expert
ence and qualifications as a lawyer
were such as to entitle him to this
place. They thought that he did not
possess sufficient force of character or
