Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. s,
1912 The first week of the new year
was very satisfactory TO cattle sellers,
but brought walls of dIspleasure from
week closing 10 to 25 higher for the
week on all kinds, and prices ruling
are about one dollar niger than a year
ago Fed cattle are selling at money
making prices to feeders, which is all
anyone can ask, and the lack Of quality
is what is worrying the killers. The
possible all over The field, and finished
cattle are going to be scarce. The best
here to day sold at $40, bulk Of fed
steers at 5000 to 500 Severe winter
weather causes railroads to hesitate
about accepting orders for cars, fact
that held receipts down to-day. The
run here is 8 8000 head. and Chicago has
only one half as many cattle to-day as
were counted on at the end Of last week,
The market is 10 to Is higher here to-
day on steers, and strong to 10 higher
on other killing cattle. Native cows sell
up to 1915, and bulls to $52 veals
$500 Oil Mill cattle sold at $5.25 to 5000
here to-day, best prices paid for them
this Sc ason. Light steers from Shawnee
Oklahoma, sold at $40. Protracted
zero weather, with heavy snow, is caus-
ing uneasiness among cattlemen, and
stuff will be run to market immediatel
from districts where feed is short. In
that event, stockers and feeders will
sell lower. They are no better than
steady to-day, at 81 90 to 575 few
fleshy feeders at $500 to $6,25
The hog market is nervous affair,
ten cents changes being the rule from
day to day for the last ten days. 1t is
10 higher to day, following a couple of
similar markets last week, and tops got
up to $6.45to- day bulk of sales $500 Sc AZ
% The run was estimated at 5000 for to-
day, but only 5000 got in, hence a strong
finish. The expected storage of hogs
has not developed as yet, local receipts
last week running $4,000 more than
same week last year, and receipts at
the five western markes for the week
aggregating 10000, as comapred with
287, 900 same week last year.
Sheep and lambs advanced 25 to IS
cents last week, and are up again to-
day, and the first from that section ar
rived to day. Monte Vista lambs selling
at $6.75 and $6 80, and ewes at $410
Some Kansas lambs brought $500.
which was the top, and some Colorado
ewes brought $4.l5. Wethers are worth
up to A. so, and yearlings $3.50. Good
feeding lambs sold Friday at IS 20. Run
is 5000 here to-day, and good run is
expected balance of the week. Prices
may soften little, but the undertone
is strong.

NAMED IN ACTION FILED BY
GOVERNMENT.
SEEKS TO VOID PATENTS
Combine Accused of Overstepping the
Bounds of the Lawful Monopoly
Granted Them-Over $1o0,oo0,ooo
Invested in the Business.

Philadelphia, Aug. 19.-For the dis
solution of the Motion Picture Pat
ents company and the General Film
company, the federal government at
tackled the so-called moving picture
trust in civil suit filed here. Ten
prominent moving picture film con-
Germs are accused of combining to
monopolize the business, even to the
extent of increasing or decreasing the
number of motion picture theaters, in
which they have no proprietary in
terest
The following corporations and in
dividuals are named defendants:
Motion Picture Patents company
General Film company, Biograph COM
pany, Thomas A. Edison Inc.), Els
sanay Film Manufacturing company,
the Kalem company Qnc), George

lions have been arbitrarily imposed
on the manufacture and leasing OF

LECTURES IN VETO
PRESIDENT REFUSES TO SIGN
LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE
AND JUDICIAL BILL.
GOVERNMENT FUNDS TIED UP
No Provision for Continuance Of Com
merce Court and of Clause Relative
to Government Clerks Leads Exec
utive to Drastic Action.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE house
failed to pass the legislative, execu
tive and judicial appropriation bill
over the veto of President Taft Thurs
day night by vote of 153 to LOT.
Because of it's amendments to abol-
ish the commerce court and limit the
tenure of Office of civil service en-
ployes to seven years, President Taft
returned to the house Thursday with
veto message the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill.
The cabinet read and approved the
presidents message earlier in the day.
One effect of Mr.. Taft's veto of the
bill is to hold up his own pay, that of
every member of congress, every fed
eral judge and every employee of the
United States courts. Some leaders
have proposed plan of passing a res
olution to extend all last years appro-
priations to December and adjourn
congress without passing the bill.
Mr.. Taft's message was strong in
it's condemnation of the way congress
had attached special legislation to an
annual appropriation bill. The presi-
dent wrote that he approved any sys-
tenn of promoting efficiency in the
civil service and favored civil pen
sion system, but could not approve
legislation to turn out of Office en-
ployes who had given their best years
to the government. The president de-
Tended the commerce court vigorously
and wrote that opposition to it came
from those who had not been in SYM
patty with it's decisions.
When the reading of the veto was
finished Representative Stephens of
Nebraska introduced a resolution for
the passage of any vetoed measure by
a majority vote. A tWo-thirds vote OF
both houses is now required. Mr.. Ste
phens declared Mr.. Taft had used the
veto power more than it had been used
In the first half century of the nation
history. He added that the president
Of France had no veto power and that
while the king of England enjoyed
the privilege he had not dared to use
1t" for 200 years.
An effort to reach an agreement to
dispose of the steel and wool tar1ff re-
vision bills already passed by the
house over the presidents veto failed
In the senate Unanimous consent to
vote on both measures was opposed
by Senator Briggs because there was
a dispute about the arrangement OF
pairs.
Complete disagreement between the
house and senate on the sugar tarlfr
bills was outlined in conference re-
port on the measure presented to the
senate by Senator Penrose.

What is jay walker? We all know
him and recognize him as a pest, but
Kansas City was first in giving him
a name and separate Classification.
The Jay walker is the person who
walks or loiters in crowded streets,
totally Indifferent to the rights and
convenience of those he comes in con.
tact with there. In crossing from one
sidewalk to another he ignores the
cross-walks and meanders among
wagons, traction cars and automobiles
with a recklessness that puts the
drivers in danger of heart failure.
On a crowded sidewalk he keeps to
the left instead of to the right, rough
1y shouldering his way through the
oncoming stream of humanity. He
stops to talk with acquaintance on
busy corners, planting himself where
he will most interfere with the prog
ress Of the people passing by. On the
narrow boardwalk in front of an ex-
cavation for new building he leisure
ly surveys the operations going on be-
hind the fence, compelling all who
wish to pass to step off upon the
dirty pavement.

REPORTED By THE CROUCH
Here the Original Hiram ]. Tells of
His Attendance at a Country
"Functon."

Having nothing else to do re-
marked the old codger, Il attended
a function while / was over at Tor
pidville the other day. The affair
was held in a dispirited grove at the
end of road in which every time
a horse popped down his foot the dust
shot up in the air like a skyrocket.
A band was playing without the
slightest remorse. A statesman, with
a neck as wrinkled as a pickle, dron-
ed forth redundant nonentities with
out end. A sad and rickety merry
gc-wabble wound round and round
to the sound of it's own plaintive pee
dle-deedle. In tipsy pavilion a
hoarse person was endeavoring to sell,
in brazen defiance to the pure food
and drug act, what looked alarmingly
like horned toads fried in axle-grease.
A gentleman in a striped tent near
by hoarsely stated that he preferred
to eat snakes at ten cents per SER
pent. There was the usual balloon
which seemed perfectly willing to do
anything but get up. Scattered around
through the festal scene were a few
old soldiers, grumbling; a smattering
of farmers, also grumbling; sundry
honest voters, likewise grumbling;
and various other folks, nothing about
whom is worth mentioning except
that they, too, were grumbling. 1t
may have been reunion, a fair, a
rally, picnic, or what-not; but what
ever they CHANGED to call it, twas an
excellent example of one of our most
cherished institutions, Kansas City

port on the Panama canal bill by a
vote of 48 to 18 and refused to pass

The vote on the wool bill veto was
80 to &c. Six Republicans voted with
the Democrats. They were: Bristow,

mittee, creating an experimental par
cells post system in lieu of the perma-
nent zone system" which was offered
in the senate by Senator Bourne and
