NOT HOUNDING
D|EIz TO DEATH

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
HAYWARD, Wis, May. 3.-In-
sisting that it was impossible for
the deputies who attacked the
cabin of John Dietz. at Cameron
dam, to have killed their fellow
deputy, Oscar Harp, District At
torney Williams today addressed
the jury here at the formal open
ing of Dietz' trial. Williams
showed no bitterness. He made
a very temperate opening address,
saying it was not the desire of the
state to hound Dietz to death, but
that he had resisted the law and
killed man, and that his pun
ishment was necessity.

THE CATTLE
SITUATION

THE CATTLE
SITUATION
"a remarkable cattle situation ex
lists in the United States" says M.
F. HORNE, statistican of the Union
Stock Yards and Transit Co. Chicago.
Until recently all markets were full
of fat cattle. Now the supply situa-
ton shows a radical change. Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and Kentucky have
marketed their crops of fat cattle, and
eastern points are not getting enough
good cattle to supply their local needs.
1.-The character of receipts at Miss
ouri river points shows the western
supply of fat cattle has been cleaned
up, which leaves Chicago about the
only place on the market map of the
United States where buyers can get
adequate selection, and that is likely
to be the case for long time to come.
1.-The present situation had it's origin
in the drought conditions of last sum-
mer, which forced all the regions west
and southwest of the Missouri river
to prematurely market young and
growing stock, which was largely alb
sorbed by Illinois and surrounding
states. Then followed a magnificent
corn crop and splendid winter feed
ing season, resulting in abundance of
| fat cattle.
"The supply is lasting much longer
in the territory directly tributary to
Chicago than either east or west,
simply because conditions for a year
past have favored an abundance of
good cattle in this territory, and will
make Chicago from now on until the
next crop is fed the chief and almost
the only supply point for fat cattle.
Domestic demand for beef is in
creasing and there will be strong and
constant demand for beef of good quail
ity.
Adequate rains during the remain
der of the season and another good
corn crop will reveal the shortage OF
growing cattle in the country more
sharply than at any time for twenty
years, and prices for both young anc
fat cattle must almost certainly ad
vance materially in the near future. ,

NEW FEDERAL JUDGE NAMED

The recent appointment by Presi-
dent Taft of Representative Walter
1nglewood Smith of Iowa to be a
Judge Of the eighth circuit of the fed
eral court to succeed Judge Van De-
vanter, promoted to the supreme court
bench, has created considerable stir
in political circles.
One Of the principal reasons for
political interest in the appointment
of Judge Smith is connected with the
fact that candidate presented by
progressives for the same position
was Representative George w. Nor
ris of Nebraska, 'insurgent leader, who
directed the revolution last March
which resulted in the ousting of Speak.
or Cannon from the rules committee.
Judge Smith has been in congress
since 1900.
Judge Smith was born in Council

Luke Lea, practical owner of the

youngest leading politician in Tennes-
see, has been named by the general

POLICE JUDGE A SOLOMON

The author of the famous Pollard
Pledge Is William j. Pollard. He was
magistrate of the Dayton Street po-
ice court in st. Louis, when one day
a man was brought before him on the
charge of having beaten his wife. The
case against him was clear and he was
sentenced to six months to the work
house. Then the wife began to cry
and to plead for the man she had
brought before the court.
HE Is the sole support Of my six
children and myself" she said 'If
you send him to jail, Judge, we will
starve. l would rather take his beat
ings and have food for my little ones,
Please, Judge, let him CO."
Judge Pollard was in quandary.
He looked at the brutal face of the
