with any further effort to secure a

Earling, it is announced, ex-
pressed his intention of putting his
views into the shape of a letter to

There seems to be a gradual

one way or the other, are now view
ing the question more calmly.

From the time the Roosevelt

SMASHES At
EGG TRUST.
(By United Press Leased Wire)

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 24.-Mrs.
John Osborne of Clayton is hailed
today as the woman egg trust bust
er. She has joined the ranks of
the foes of high prices and public
ly announced her stand when she
stated that she had originated a
breed of chickens guaranteed to
produce eggs every day of the year.
Mrs. Osborne exLerimented eight
years before she finally succeeded
in crossing breeds of chickens that
would create a breed of "365-eggs-
a-year hens" The layers are mix
ture of Rhode Island Reds, white
Leghorns and Blue Andulusians.
Mrs. Osborne stated that the
only trouble with the new layers
is the fact that the hens are SO
busy laying that they refuse to set
and reproduce their kind. In these
days of incubators, however, this
will not prove a drawback in the
least.
Mrs. Osborne declared that a
small city lot, a little feed and
care and her chickens would pro-
duce enough eggs to break the egg
trust, and eliminate the cold stor-
age product from the market.

SEATTLE, March 24.-The re-

break over Seattle today. There
have been rumblings of thunder and
flashes of lightning, but the real
storm breaks with the reopening of
the notorious old King street ten

The King street district and the

old time glory last night and were
crowded with a motley assortment

the district was to be, but the
white lights and the crowds were
all in the old tenderloin last night.
Aroused from their fancied Sc
curity, induced by Gill's campaign
promises, the residents of the First,
Second, Twelfth and Fourteenth
