What Would He Do With It7

A farmer owned dog--a very good, high bred and thoroughly trained dog that every morning for three years chased a railway train that ran past the farm. The farmer and his wife were watching the persistent but vain pursuit one warm morning.
 "I wonder" the wife said, what makes that foolish dog chase the train so persistently.
 "Never thought about that" repliea the farmer. but I've often wondereJ what he would do if he caught it.''

GRANDSON OF FRENCH
COUNT IS MISSING
Visiting Bakersfield with Mother
Youth Disappears Sheriff
Begins Search

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, April 49,
Robert DeColmar, grandson of Count
DeColmar of France. a second cousin
of king of Saxony, who in company
with his mother, Countess DeCol-
mar, has been visiting here, has been
missing since last Thursday The young
man, who was inclined to be delicate,
applied last week for work on a Stan
dard lease near Moron in the belief
that outdoor work would strengthen
him.
Unable to perform the labor, he quit
the position. He was last seen by the
proprietor of the Pioneer hotel, Moron,
Thursday afternoon, when he paid his
bill and said he was going to join his
mother at Southern hotel here. His
mother, frantic over continued absence,
drove to the oil fields in automobile, but
finding no trace of her son returned
and applied to the sheriff and Father
Frund of the Catholic church for as
sistance in locating him.
She believes he may have met foul
play for small amount of money and
jewelry. The missing boy is 16 years
of age. He came to America in De-
cember for the purpose of securing ed
ucation in the Catholic colleges here.
He is a brother to Countess Marguerite
DeColmar, who was arrested and sent
to prison in 1906 for participation in
trouble between the French govern
ment and the church.

PACKER ADMITS PRICES
ARE TRUST CONTROLLED

ST. LOUIS, April 1S.--Admissions by
Charles l.. Urquhart, secretary of the
ST. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision
company, that the concern, hitherto
supposed to be independent, is owned
and controlled by the National Pack
ing company, caused a sensation at
todays proceedings in the investiga-
tion of the so-called beef trust being
conducted by Attorney General Major.
Missouri is seeking to oust nine pack
ing companies.
Urquhart's testimony, Mr.. Major de-
clared, shows positively that the Ma
tional Packing company fixes the pri-
ces at which the local company buys
and sells salt meats and by-products.
Urquhart testified much of the stock
of his company is held by John Doe''
and "Richard Roe" and that it's bus
mess is conducted on telegraphic or
ders received daily from Chicago.
Major declares he will show by other
witnesses the National Packing com
pany is a holding corporation for the
Armour, Swift and Morris interests
and controls twenty-six so-called in
dependent companies throughout the
country, fixing prices and territory ar

Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-19

Mt EW YORK, April 1s.-There will
v be started in New York tomorrow
~ a federal investigation Of the gil
gantic bull movement in cotton with
which the names Of James A. Patten
of Chicago, Frank B. Hayne and Will
liam P. Brown of New Orleans, and
Eugene Scales of Texas have been
popularity connected.
Hayne and Brown both appear as
defendantss in the proceedings, but it
could not be learned whether Mr.. Pat
ten will be subpoenaed. He has been
generally credited, however, with being
the financial genius of the pool and in
recent interviews he has outlined his
bullish position and his determination
to fight the supposed bear clique that
has been reshipping cotton to this
country from England to break the
market.
The bull movement has reached such
a stage, however, that there are ru-
mors of a possible May corner
Never before has the government
brought similar action against any pool
operating in the market on either the
long or the short side.
Subpoenas were issued today at the
direction of Attorney General Wicker
sham, commanding dozen or more
prominent New York cotton brokers to
appear before a special grand jury to-
morrow to testify in the matter of the
United States against Frank b. Hayne
and William P. Brown.
The subpoenaS demand the submis-
sion to the jury of all records, papers,
letters, memoranda and an agreement
dated February 26 last by Hayne and
Brown and others. The agreement, the
subpoenas state, was for the purchase
of 10000 bales of cotton for delivery
in New York during the months of
March and July inclusive, at certain
prices and under certain conditions.
CAUSES BREAK IN MARKET
Announcement of the governments
action was followed by an excited
break in prices on the New York cot
ton exchange, which at one time bade
fair to result in almost as great a de-
moralization as that of last January.
Early in April the market had a very
severe break under heavy liquidation
and at that time there were rumors
that the bulls were abandoning their
position. considerable recovery in
prices since then, however, suggested
that the selling had been largely in
the way of outside liquidation.
During the last week there have been
renewed rumors of an impending
squeeze. The position of the near
months options has led to heavy ship
