CHIEF BUSINESS OF JUDICIARY
Has BEEN TO KILL OFF
MEASURES.
HAS COME TO DE KNOWN
As DECIDEDLY REAcTl0NARY
Despite its Record Chairman ciayten's
Friends Are Asking That He Be
Given Place in Progressive Demo.
cratic c.binet-wrath Of Progress:
sives Stirred.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Jan. ga big row is
threatened in the house when 1t re-
organizes at the beginning Of the extra
session over the makeup Of the ju-
dietary committee. This committee,
which is headed by Congressman Clay
ton. OF Alabama. is becoming known
as one Of the most reactionary COM
mittees in congress. Numerous meri-
torious measures are finding their way
to this committee only to be inferred
there without ceremony and without
even the formality Of going into mourn
ing for them. In the days OF Uncle
Joe the judiciary committee used to
be one of the foremost graveyards OF
legislation, but it is quite as much so
now as it was even in the regime OF
Gear" Cannon.
Progressive Wrath Stirred.
The situation is such that 1t Is
stirring the wrath Of numerous, pro-
gressive democrats and progressive re-
publicans in the house. They are Won
dering whether 1t is going to continue
in the next congress, under the ad-
ministration of a president who was
chosen as progressive democrat.
One thing that has stirred up anger
in the house is the fact that the en-
ploycs of the house judiciary commit
tee were given added pay IN the legis-
lative bill when that measure was up
in the senate. The plea was that the
employees earned 1t in the Archibald
case. No attempt was made to get the
increase made in the house. Now,
scores Of employees of other committees
are seeking increases and some OF the
house gossips are saying that the In
crease would never have been secured
in the senate If the judiciary commit
tee were not so apt at burying pro-
gressive legislation. The house will
fight the increases.
A Minor Issue.
This particular matter OF increased
compensation for the employees Is
minor ono, however. 1t is simply one
Of the things that has turned much at
tention to the judiciary committee.
That committee, after bottling up the
Kenyon Sheppard liquor bill for a long
time IFS now forced to let 1t come out.
Friends Of that bill are not kindly to
the judiciary committee. The com
nittee has for months had bin for an
appeal in the powder trust reorganiza-
ton case introduced by Congressman
Pepper, OF Iowa, and bill for an ap-
peal in the tobacco trust case which
was introduced by Senator Cummins
and which passed the senate. Nothing
has been done with these bills At one
time. the committee talked Of deep
probe into the beef trust but little has
been heard of this lately.
Meantime, a few Of the friends OF
Judge Clayton in the house are asking
Governor Wilson to make him attorney
general. Such an effort as this has
dumfounded the progressive democrats.
Judge Clayton has never been looked
on in any quarter Of the house as
progressive democrat nor is there any
thing about his record to suggest that
he would run amuck among the trusts
in the fashion it is supposed demo-
cratic administration intends to.

Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, Jan. 20. Buyers are not
up on the bit for feeders as keen as
they were earlier this month, the trade
having very sluggish current as COM
pared with that time. Yard dealers
have complained constantly OF the
more unsatisfactory outlet for their
shaped-up cattle and have used that
as club to beat down prices OF the
mixed lots and original-package good
weight feeders this week and values
are down 1925 cents from their
level one week ago Compared with
high time early this month the prices
of feeders of medium to good class
and weight are down 30@50 cents.
some cattle having been bought here
as feeders this. week at $735 07.4o, the
latter averaging close to 1880 pounds
and of class that would not have
stopped far. short Of IS at high time
early this month.
A good share Of the feeders OF good
class ranging in weight from 500 TO
1850 pounds, are selling now at G.9om
1928, any that reach S7.30M7.50 at this
tdime being of the class that could
hardly be gotten hold of even at acost
of s7.65@7.S5 here short time back. A
pretty acceptable business class OF
feeders, 700 to 900 pounds. sells now at
$6.7O@6.S5, distillery buyers being IN
on quite a scale now, taking some big
lots at prices close to 1913.
Some Of the palmer light steers are
down about 1920 cents from last
weeks prices, some plain little stuff
going at s5.5O@5.95, but the breezy
little stockers. and fancy light feeders
are nearly as high as they were earlier

ture Of Probably First Ma
chine Of Its Kind.

The University of Pennsylvania
has just discovered that it owns what
is believed to be the first picture Of
the pillow invented by Abraham cen.
turtles ago. According to the Egyp
tologists at the museum, their trans.
lations Of the hieroglyphics show
that Abraham was the progenftor of
the harvester trust.
While plows undoubtedly were used
before the time Of this invention, the
Abraham pillow is combination seed
er and planter, and, according to the
inscription on the picture, three men
were necessary to operate it.
The picture was made upon Baby.
lonian brick, which was the custom in
those days. The apparatus had a
tube-like attachment, into which the
seeds were poured. A vessel above
the ground facing the frame Of the
pillow was used as receptacle for the
seed, and then the harrow was at.
tached to the back Of the pillow.
The Babylonians sowed and titled
according to Abraham's commands.
and with his invention they feared
neither the ravens nor any other
birds that devoured their grain.
