has sold readily and we'll and even the
short fed and habitat grades havessmst

Fat cattle prices scored l5-25c
advance during the first half Of the

all Of this advance was lost before
the close owing to liberal supplies

Spencer was arraigned in the police
court and was held without bail for
further hearing April is.
Spencer told the police he had ex-
perienced no QUalms of conscience over
his Grim IS. The only thing that caused
him any worry was the loss of a looket
bearing his initials. This was found
outside a house he had entered and
caused his arrest.
In his confession Spencer revealed a
career of almost lifelong crime. Fol-
lowing a blow on the head when a
small boy in Lebanon, Conn, he said,
he began to steal. At the age of he
rified the pockets of his schoolmates
and robbed his parents Of small sums.
Later, while still youth, he held up

tered houses. he spent some time on

PRESIDENT DOES NOT
BELIEVE IN BOYCOTT
Government viii Not Take Part of
Strikers Against Bethlehem
Steel Works.

Washington. April president Taft
today told a delegation of fifty business
men from Bethlehem and South Beth
lehem. Pa, that he did not believe in
boyeotts, and that so far as he was
concerned, he did not believe disputes
with third parties warranted the abro-
cation of government contracts with
any company.
The delegation, which was headed by
II. J. Meyers, called at the White house
as disinterested persons, the chairman
declared, to protest against the reports
spread by labor agitatOrs that the
Bethlehem steel works, because of the
strike of some of its employees, was
turning out an inferior quality of work.
Mr.. Meyers said efforts had been
made to have this government, as well
as foreign customers of the steel con-
Germ, boycott the works, the claim be-
ing made that incompetent worlmen
had been employed to take strikers
places.
Il haven't followed closely what has
happened at Bethlehem at ALL, said
President Taft. Il don't know what the
statements are to which you refer. L
can only say this-that l am utterly OPP
posed to the principle of a boycott.
Every issue ought TO be settled on its
own merits. If the Bethlehem work
isn't up to contract, then the govern
ment ought not TO give the contracts
10 it. If it is, then the contracts ought
to go to it without regard to oontro-
versies that Bethlehem may have with
third persons.
Therefore, without knowing any
thing about the facts, l say to you that
If Bethlehem does not DO good work, il
is for the government to find out and 10
act on it and to refuse its contracts on
that ground. and not because it is con-
cerned in a fight or a controversy with
its employees.
In SO far as the public or the gov
eminent or a part of the public is in
terested in the controversy between the
employees and the companies-that is
determined on the merits OF that con-
troversy and not with respect to the
government business. That is the po-
sition l occupy. 1t is the position my
administration. so far as / can control
it will OccuDV -

James w. Cunningham, former men,
Der of the brokerage firm, was the
only witness Of the day On the advice
of counsel, he declined TO produce the
full accounts of the company, but he
turned over to Mr.. Hotchkiss accounts
sufficient to throw BedelPs name into
the limelight.
They showed that Tracy Rogers, for
mer silent member of tne firm and re-
puted legislative agent of certain
transportation interests several years
ago, had placed money to the former
assemblyman's credit on the firm s
books. Rogers, who lives at Bingham
ton, n. Y, is being sought by subpOe-
ma servers.
The records showed that when the
firm failed in 1904 Bedell was in its
debt more than 1000. Cunningham tes-
titled that in so far as he knew the
obligation had never been discharged.
Under date of May l, 1901, there was an
entry on the firms books labelled

Withdrawals from Bedelrs account ND

count, however, appeared to relate
wholly to the transportation matters,
