Chicago, Jan. 25.-Agitators against

first victory here in their battle against
prevailing eood prices. when reduc-
tions of per cent to 5 per cent were
announced In the wholesale prices of
eggs, butter. potatoes, pork products

Big recessions also were made in
the value of live hogs, cattle and sheep,
and in the quotations on wheat. corn.

markets
Of chief benefit to the housewife
were the declines in butter, which
dropped from 32 cents pound at
wholesale to 81 cents. and in eggs
which receded to 33 cents dozen as
contrasted to "a cents last week. The
Elgin butter market recorded big
slump. Butter men who had been bid
ding as high as 38 cents registered
bids of but 80 cents and received Of
ferings. The deals practically decided
the price.
Three reasons were given in Elgin
as the cause of the decrease-the agi-
tation against the high price of food
stuffs break in the corner on but

TO PROTECT HOTEL men
G. Il. Wood to Organize Association to
Bar GrafterS

Kansas City. NO., Jan. 25.-Charles
L. Wood. manager of the Sexton ho-
tel, has rendered his resignation to
take effect February 1. After that
time he will devote himself to the or
ganization of an International Hotel
Mems association, which will have all
the protective as we'll as cooperative
features the various associations have
been striving for. Mr.. Woods plan
Minneapolis and to include every city
in the country in the association and
calls for a hotel agency in every city
represented in the association.
Mr.. Wood has been in the hotel
business for a quarter of century.
He has been secretary of the Kansas
Missouri Hotel Mems association for
Is years. He believes that the hotel
men at present are easy money for
almost every class of CRATER in the
country. He declares that unscrupulous
making the hotel keeper pay part of
their living expenses.
Mr.. Wood plans a. register in which
the name and record of every employe
in every hotel in, the country could be
kept. These records would be in
charge of the agency in every town,
which would act as a sort of employ
ment bureau. He would also institute
a system of grading employees by their
conduct.
A booking bureau by which guests
desiring to go to hotels in other cities
could be assured of reservations in
advance is one of the features and a
detective bureau is another. This
latter would include the collection of
bad accounts and capturing persons
who pass bad paper on the hotel men.

mans dinner pail was short its pork
chop, ham sandwich and other meat
dish today when the 1854 workmen
in Pittsburg and vicinity who have
pledged themselves began their thirty
days period of meat abstinence. With
a start made by the boycotters who
have succeeded in knocking down the
price of cattle at the stock yards much
encouragement is given those who
hesitated to join their ranks. Now
other food products are to receive the
attention of the consumer. Butter and
eggs will in a few days be under the
ban the same as meat at present. Fear
ing this, butter dealers began to scale
their prices yesterday and in some in
stances the price was six cents lower
than the day previous for the best
creamery. Eggs too, while they are
the cold storage brand, are beginning
to come down in price, and as much as
two and three cents dozen was lop-
ped off late yesterday.
Eat meat but once a day and you
will help to solve the problem of the cost
of living and improve your health," is
the advice Ct DR.. E. r. Walters, di-
rector of the department of health.
The remedy mentioned is not the
only one proposed by DR.. Walters. He
and DR.. J. =. Mcneil. superintendent
of the bureau of food inspection. are
convinced that the operation of a mu-
nicipal abartior would reduce ma
terially the cost of meat to the con-
sumner and would provide meat known
to have been properly inspected,

UNIONISTS MAKE GAINS.
But Are Still Unable to Overtake the
Coalition Forces.

London, Jan. 25.-Twenty-f1ve re-
suits announced today complete the
returns from yesterday ballotting for
members of parliament. OF the seats
decided the Unionists take 16, the
Liberals 5, the Nationalists 3 and the
Laborites 1.
The staining of ths parties as
known this afternoon is;
Government coalition: Liberals,
207; Irish Nationalists, 72; Labor
ties, 35. Opposition: Unionists, 237.
The Unionists have a monopoly of
today's gains, placing to their credit
eight of the rs returns of yesterday.
Austen Chamberlain for Worcester
shire east and Sir A. F. Acland-Hood
for the west division of Somersetshire,
the chief Unionist whip, are among
whose elections were announced today.
The former Increased his majority by
1900 while Acland-Hood returns to
parliament by a majority larger by
1000 than his previous figure.
Sir Charles D. Rose. former partner
of the American bank of Morton &
Rose was defeated in the Newmarket
division of Cambridgeshire by the
Unionist candidate, G. H. Vorral.
F. H. Newnes, director of the west
minister Gazette, was defeated in the
BaSSetlaw division of NottinghamShire
by Barrister Hume, Williams, a
Unionist.
The Unionists also succeeded in
making inroads on the Nationalists by
capturing Mid-Tyrone, where a Healy-
ite and a Radmondite divided the Ma
in fortynine constituencies including
those of Premier Asquith in Fife, east,
and War Secretary Richard Burdon-
Haldane in HaddingtoEshire.

WILL o'NEn BE HANGEDe
Petitions Are Being CircuIat-
ed to Prevent His Execution.

petition is being circulated in
Wyandotte county asking clemency
for Charles O'Neil, convicted of first
degree murder in the federal court
at Kansas City, Kan, and sentenced
20. Because of the presidents policy
not to interfere it is hardly probable,
according to government officials,
that O'Neil will receive a life SEN
tence instead of being hanged. O'Neal
killed French maid on the Fort
Leavenworth military reservation last
fall. The place for hanging has not
yet been decided upon, being optional
with United States Marshal Mackey.
1t is now believed likely that the hang
ing will take place in the Leaven-
worth county jail yard, unless orders
are given that O'Neal be executed on
federal soil. In that case the con-
demned man would likely be taken
back to Fort LeaVenWorth

PRICES COME DOWN.
Milk, Eggs and Butter Lead the Pro-
cession in New York.

New York, Jan. 25.-Milk, eggs and
butter led the procession of receding
prices in food products here today. Ma
ton wide agitation aided by potent To-
cal influences have brought about the
drop. Meat, too, is on the decline fol-
lowing a greatly reduced consumption.
State anti-monopoly laws are to be
invoked in the movement to combat the
trusts that have advanced food prices.
Today a special grand jury whose par
ticular office it will be to consider the
effect of combinations among dealers
in food stuffs, was sworn in While 1T
is expected first to deal with the al
legged milk combine, the meat question
IS likely to be put to it strongly and
possibly the whole scope of the food
situation will be taken during its prob
ing. Milk is down a cent a quart al
ready on at least two big dealers
routes. butter in the best qualities has
been cut cents a pound and eggs are
off 5 cents a dozen in local markets.
Storage. eggs that have been selling as
strictly fresh at high prices are no
longer put out as such, the big whole
salers say.
Weather conditions were none too
propitious for the Union square mass
meeting to protest against high food
prices. but a great outpouring never
theless is expected.

TAFT AND TILLMAN.
They Clash Over Cuba and Race
Question.

Washington Jan. 25.-President Taft
and Senator Tillnas1 of South Caro-
lima, clashed over the Philippines, Cuba
and the race question at the dinner Of
the Military Order Of the Caraboa. A
distinguished company was present,
including the president Vice President
Sherman Speaker Cannon many sem
ators and representatives, several diplo-
mats and the highest officers of the
army and navy.
Senator Tillman was the first speaker
called upon, and he took a solemn tack,
arraigning the government for the part
played in the Philippines. You officers
of the army and navy" he said, "are
not proud of the part you played in the
Philippines, as you have shown by your
songs here. You are not to blame, be-
cause you are taught not to think for
yourselves. but to obey orders. But 1
am one of 80 men in the senate who
are required to think. And when
Philippines; when I think of the mon
grel, worthless damnable mixture of
blood, going on in Cuba; when I con-
slider this hell broth that is being brew
ed don't know where it is all to end
We have departed from the funda-
mental principles of our government"
Several speakers followed Senator
Tillman, but the chief reply was made
by President Taft in a speech that was
declared afterward by Vice President
speech he had ever heard. The presi-
dent referred to Brother Tillman,''
and said he was sorry he had not taken
Tillman to the Philippines. He said: -
Brother Til1man thinks he foresees
the annexation Of Cuba do not think
So He speaks of Americans being
ashamed of the part they played in the
Philippines. I am not ashamed of the
part played. If I had not played it
would not have been in the White
House. If he thinks I am sorry 1 was
elected president he is mistaken. The
Philippines are better off than they
would have been if any other policy had
been adopted. The Fflipinos are hap
pier.
I'm times to come the Philippines
may bear the relation to us that
Australia and Canada bear to England
But I think the Filipinos will not want
to sever the bonds, because of the trade
advantages they enjoy. They have free
trade with US and protection as against
the rest of the world. The United
States dates it's entry into the first rank
of world powers from the Philippine
war. 1t must play its part and it will
do SO. It does not covet territory in
China or elsewhere, but it will not shirk
the duties imposed upon it. l am not
scared about miscegenation and hell
broths, and Brother Tillman is not
either, except when he gets upon his
feet
Some of President Taft's jocular re-
marks were most keenly enjoyed by
Tillman himself, who applauded vigor-
ously and laughed heartily.

BOUQUET FOR CANNON.
President Taft Tosses One to His
"Eriend Uncle joe"

Washington. Jan. 25-President
Taft in an address before the Dart
mouth college alumni praised the val
ue of small colleges and paid a trib-
ute to Speaker JOS. G. Cannon, who
had preceded him in speaking.
Mr.. Cannon had said he bowed to
the president, son of Yale; Mr..
Roosevelt, a son of Harvard, Andrew
jackson, and Abraham Lincoln who
had not had the advantage of a col
lege education that he himself might
be a little Jealous because he had not
had such an advantage, for culture
might have eradicated some of the
meanness in me which both my enc
mics and my friends say I have.'"
The president referred to the
speaker as MY friend Uncle Joe."
and called attention to his tribute to
Abraham Lincoln and said:
when we hear that mellifluous
voice, some times full of English and
sometimes full of Esperanto, we are
carried back to the days of Daniel
Webster. Great must be the country
that can produce a man without a
college education, who can deliver
such tribute as he paid here tonight
to Andrew Jackson and Abraham
Lincoln"

MINERS TO EEDERATE.
Operators in Bituminous Fields Are in
Session.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-Representatives of
coal operators associations in all the
bituminous fields in the country will
meet here today to form federation
that will place them on an equality
with the United Mine Workers of
America in dealing with questions
relative to the enforcement of con-
tracts.
An effort to form such federation
was made five years ago and it failed.
The proposed federation would take no
part in the making of contracts with
the miners, that being left to the diff
ferent state associations, but in cases
where mine has been closed down By
reason of a strike in violation of an ex-
isting contract the operators would
pledge themselves to supply the Gus
toners of the operator involved and
compensate him for. losses sustained on
account of the strike.
