thence south three miles. thence
east five miles, thence north ten

The letter received by the coun-

of what was transpiring, but they kept
it as quiet as had Horsburgh. When an
explanation of Horsburgh's absence was

was the fact that the wedding took
place yesterday afternoon; that it had
been simple and quiet, and that Hors-
burgh wanted it to remain quiet

who has been in controversy with Su-
perintendent of Schools W. C. Wood
over letters on the open air school
question, appeared before the board OF
education tonight to argue on the point
as to what constituted private and pub-
lie correspondence.
Boynton maintained that IL was at
least the moral duty of the superin-
tendent to make public information he
had received on subjects of public inn
portance.
The upshot was that the board and
Superintendent Wood announced that
any document addressed to the SUPER
intendent as superintendent, or to the
board of education was a public rec
ord. but that correspondence not so
addressed was not to be placed in that
category.

HIGH HOG PRICES
MADE TO DECEIVE
Official of Beef Company Testi-
fies That Packers Adopt
Fictitious Competition

ST. LOUIS, April 19.-High prices of
meat are due partly to fictitious com
petition between livestock buyers en-
ployed by the Swift, Armour & Morris
interests and by the National packing
company, which is controlled by those
interests, according to testimony this
afternoon byA. II. Benn, vice president
of the st. Louis dressed beef and pro-
vision company.
Benn testified in the investigation of
the packing companies conducted by
Attorney General Major
The st. Louis company is owned and
controlled by the National packing
company, according to testimony ad-
duced yesterday.
To this competition between concerns
ostensibly rivals, but really under the
same control, the witness specifically
attributed the recent price of s11.15 for
hogs.
Benn stated that buyers ostensibIy
representing the National company, but
in fact representing the Armour
Swift-Morris interests, frequently bid
against the buyers directly empIoye ID
by these interests. and thus forced UP
the price of meat. The benefit of this
policy is explained by the investigator
as producing an illusion of competi-
ton in the eyes of the public
1T looks as if the Swift Armour
Morris interests were really trying to
lift themselves over the fence by their
bootstraps," commented Attorney Gen
eral Major

Massachusetts district Tariff reform
enthusiastic, while administration re-
publicans are, correspondingly gloomy
| Havens made his fightqsquarely on a
tariff reform platform. Aldridge, his
opponent, has been the dictator of the
republican organization in the thirty
second district for 10 years He had
the cooperation of the state and ad-
ministration organizations. The cam
paign lasted only II days. The district
has been nor mally republican by ap-
proximately 5000 for 20 years. Perkins
was elected in 1908 by 1O,167. Havens
defeated Aldridge today by $500
The democrats acknowledged that
tory was a personal issue raised by
Aldridge's record as party boss and
evidence presented at the recent fire
insurance investigation. Aldridge ack-
nowledged that he received a $1,000
check from Elijah Kennedy, an agent
MED he benefited personally by the
transfer. He declared he turned the
money into the treasury of the repub-
| lican organization.
Aided by Noted Speakers
Haven was helped by the democratic

such speakers Charles s. Hamlin of
| Massachusetts, former assistant sec
retary of the treasury under President
Cleveland, and Eugene N: Foss. the
newly elected congressman from the

In spite of the excitement of the
campaign today's election passed off
quietly with no arrests.

The towns Joined the procession with
similar results.
The overturning of the city was from
a republican plurality of 6,215 in the
last congressional election of 1908 to
a plurality for Havens off 3,746.
The towns that in 1908 went repub-
lican by 1872 gave Havens a plurality
of 2,154
Republican Reverses Heavy
The most remarkable republican re-
verses occurred in some OF the resi-
dence wards. The twelfth turned a
