NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-There was
a widespread understanding among
retail butchers here today that the
western packers have decided to cut
in half their shipments of cattle to
this city. in an effort to uphold the
price Of beef.
The packers denied it.

sentative Of Swift and Company, nc

On the other hand, the small deal

that If the boycott contirues. conces

Where Retailer Comes In.
The family trade in meats through
out the city continues to dwindle and
prices continued 20 fal' in conse-

but an independent investigator came
out with figures today which tend &c
show that IN better classes OF trade
st least. the retailer abscrbs the lar
ger share Of the profits, leaving to the
packer only what he can make On
the eale Of by-products.
Aside from the quarrel between the
packer. the wholesaler and the re-
taller. Il is pointed out by shrewd
buyers that neither the government

Witness Explains How the Alaska
Land Fraud Deals Were Allowed to
Continue and That the Cabinet
Member Advised Issuing the
Patents-crimes Were Criminal.
CBy Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2S.-The
proceedings in the Ballinger-P- nchot
inquiry took on a livlier aspect this
afternoon when Louis r. CLAWS, con-
tinuing his testimony against Secre-
tary Ballinger, told of various inter-
views he mad had with the secretary
of the interior at various times while
he was in and out of the government
service.
Mr.. CLAWS declared that in one OF
these interviews in October. 1908,
Mr.. Ballinger told him he was hav-
ing a hard time trying to collect cam
paign contributions and that two men
involved in the Cunningham claims
Who had been liberal contributors in
the past, had declined to contribute
because they were angry at not being
granted patents for the Alaska coal
lands.
Wanted a Hold-up.
CLAWS said that Mr.. Ballinger asked
him to hold up on the Alaska cases
until after election. He agreed 70
do this because he had his hands full
with another case.
One of the most interesting devel-
opments of the day was the distribu-
ton at both the morning and after
roon sessions of quantity of press
matter which purported to interpret
and point out the significance of the
testimony thus far given at this in
ouiry.
The morning matter came in an
envelope Of the American Coserva-
ion Association Of which Clifford Pin
ehot recently was chosen president
The afternoon matter began: -'
The important Developments of
the mornig session today were" and
then went on to recite that the pro-
ceedings had placed Secretary Bal
linger in an adverse light. 1t was said
that this service would continue
Throughout, the investigation
To Show His Haste.
The morning session was devoted
TO an endeavor by the prosecution
to show the haste in which Mr.. Bal
Iinger. rs commissioner OF the land Of
fee. had urged the Cunningham
Alaska claims to clear listing for
patent.
Aside from the documentary evil
donce read the afternoon session was
taken up almost wholly with Claws
story Of his various interviews with
Mr.. Ba,linger, in which the Ginning
ham cases always formed the
topic OF discussion
The inquiry will be resumed at 10
p m. tomorrow.
As a result Of CLAWS visit to wash
ington in December ,A907, and the
story ne told the commissioner OF the
general land Office and other officials
regarding the coal land cases in
Alaska, he was placed in charge or
all such cases.
