PACKERS PLOT
IN LOWER PRICES
U. S. Officials Cali Reductions on
Meats Acknowledgements
ton is Suspected.

Washington.-Sec Wilson or
the department of agriculture thinks
that the announced reduction in the
price of meat is abnormal. He said
that while he doubted If the reduc-
ton would be permanent, he was OF
the opinion that in the near future
prices of meat would find lower lev
ell than that prevailing last year. DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry, agrees with the secre-
tary that the reduction is abnormal,
and says that it is a subtle scheme of
market manipulation engineered by
the great packers.
The statements of Secretary Will
son and DIR. Wiley, if correct, would
account for the wide discrepancies in
reductions of the prices of meat re-
ported from various cities. In the
West they were large, ranging in
some cases from 20 to rs per cent,
while in New York they were COM
paratively small, averaging not more
than two cents pound.
nThe prices we're fictitious when
they reached the top notch, because
they were forced to that high level
arbitrarily by certain interests" DR..
Wiley said. 'gThe alleged reduction
is also fictitious, because it is not a
reduction in fact, but merely mar
ket manipulation, deliberately
planned to meet the selfish ends of
the interests which have dominated
the markets for years.
Even if there is an actual reduc-
ton at this particular time it is far
from being permanent, because the
interests which controlled the market
year ago and forced the price of
meats up to an abnormal level are
stin in control of the market. 1t is
impossible to believe that they have
suddenly become philanthropic and
decided to give the people q square
deal. Developments will show that
the interests are after some one.
There may be some independent
movement they hope to drive from
cover or take into camp. The hands
of the interests at our threats just
simply got tired from holding on.
They have relaxed their hold tempo
rarily in order that they may get a
better and fresher grip"
Secretary Wilson explained that
an important factor in the reduction
is the drouth in the so-called cattle
states

HUNDRED SLAIN
IN MEXICAN RIOT
Policemen and RuraIes Raid
Anti-Re- eIeCtionists.
WOMAN KILLS POLICE CHIEF
Bomb Explodes in Midst Of Federal
Forces--General Fight Ensues
in the Street--Reyolt
Spreading.

Mexico City.--One hundred per-
sons, including the chief OF police,
were killed in riots at Puebla, about
sixty miles from here, according TO
statements of passengers arriving
from that city. They say that the
trouble began when number of po-
Iicemen, headed by the chief, attempt
ed to break up meeting OF anti-re-
electionists, held in large hall.
AS Chief of Police Miguel Cabrera
and his men advanced toward the
building a door was opened by a
woman, who shot and killed the chief.
A fight then ensued between the
police and the occupants of the hall.
A bomb was thrown from one of the
windows in the midst of the police
men and rurales, the latter having
been called to assist the officers. The
bomb exploded, killing many persons,
it is said.
The other casualties occurred In
the course of fighting which took
place in the street. So far as known,

The passengers further asserted
that from midnight until they left
Puebla in the afternoon there was
continuous rioting, and while the an
ti-re-electionists had been dislod ged
from the building, fears were enter
tanned that the disorders were by no
means at an end.
From other sources in Mexico City
1t was learned that the Seventeenth
battalion left here for Puebla by spe-
cial train, and that other trains were
In readiness to transport additional
troops to the scene of the riots if
deemed necessary.
A telegram from Puebla at 6.45
o'clock p. m. stated that at that mo-
ment the first regiment OF federal
troops had arrived, as had Also a
corps of rurales. These were being
led against the house in which the
rebels were fortified, and were at
lacking, shouting Long live the SUI
preme government"
The Maderistas, as they have come
to be known, were keeping up hot
fire from the windows and balconies.
A striking feature of the fighting
was the part played by women. The
wife of Jose Cerdan, who killed the
chief of police, was in turn killed by
the fire of the troops. When the hall
was captured several women were
found among the dead and wounded.
A later dispatch contains the in
formation that the house has been
taken by the troops, and that 100
rifles and a large quantity of ammu-
milton has been seized and that order
has been restored.

He tried to remove his helmet af-
ter he struck the earth, gasped and
expired.
From the time he lost control Of
the machine until it struck the earth
it turned three complete somersaults.
1t is a question whether something
broke or whether the machine was
broken by the strain of these ,evolu-
lions.
The police were first at his side
and lifted the motor which held him
down. Then the crowd was driven
back and a canvas stretcher was
brought to remove the body. Forced
back by officers the crowd rushed to
where the machine lay in tangled
heap, and before the police could in
terfere the lighter parts had been bro
ken or torn to bits and carried away
as souvenirs.

cent work in the air for two days, and
previous to The accident had scared
away from the park and taken turn
over Fort Logan, several miles dis
tant, while Hoxsey and Brookins were
manoeuvring over the park.
When the crowd saw him return
ing at an altitude of about eight hum
dred feet there was great cheer. AS
he gracefully dipped his machine in
response he was again cheered and
he began making a spiral descent to
the starting ground in the park. Then
it was noticed that his machine wab-
bled several times. Suddenly the ae-
roplane swerved, darted toward the
ground, and after turning three SOM
ersaults struck the earth with terrific
force.
Physicians hurried from the park
and grand stand, and even they had
to beat their way through the crowd
to get to the victim. Long before
they arrived on the scene tombstone
was dead.
