SLASH IN SALARIES LIKELY.
Senate Finance Committee Deivina
Into Inequalities.


western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-The subcommittee of the
Senate committee on finance is delv-
ing into the inequalities Of salaries in
the state house, and 1t has found that
clerks doing identically the same
class of work are paid $65 a month in
some cases and 500 a month in 9TH
ers; that some stenographers get 500
a month and some SIS a month, and
that some of the higher officials are
paid out of all proportion to the
amount of work they do.
The subcommittee is engaged in
classifying the salaries to get at an
equal settlement of them. and 1t 10
unofficially stated that there will be
some salaries raised as we'll az some
slashed. 1t Is said that very few OF
the clerks will suffer, but some OF
the men and women occupying more
or less high positions will be recon-
mended for dismissal and others for
a reduction In salaries.
Numerous cases have been found
where people were on pay rolls who
didn't come to the state house more

worked a few hours a day; Of others
who did not even visit the state house.
1t is said that one OF the employees
is going to school In Boulder and that
one state employee is a bartender.
The investigation is not alone con-
fined to the capitol building, but to
employees whose duties take them
over the state.

VICE PROBE HITS RICH MEN.
None to Be Spared in Federal Invssti
cation in Los Anaeles.

Los Angeles. April 23.-"Every man,
whether he be millionaire or pauper.
whose name has been mentioned IN
connection with this white slave in
quiry will be called before the grand
jury as witness.
THE police have been furnished with
blank summons and instructed to I'LL
in the names of any one they wish to
have quizzed. The grand jury is going
to the bottom of this affair and l viii
be there to see that the evidence is
properly placed before the jurors"
This was the statement made by
Assistant District Attorney w. Joseph
Ford late yesterday in summing up the
days investigation into the systematic
vice traffic laid bare to the police by
many young women during the last few
day and involving. the police claim. at
least six of the most prominent finan-
cial and business men of Los Angeles.
The grand jury will begin its work
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Does that mean the millionaire men
toned by your assistants in converse :
ton. and the former city attorney, also
mentioned are to be called as Wit
ne sses?" Mr.. Ford was asked.
They have been mentioned, haven't
they" inquired the district attorney.
That means that George ii. Bixby. the
Long Beach millionaire. and E. j. F1em-
ing will be witnesses. But there also
will be several others whose names
have not been mentioned"
In his own behalf Mr.. Bixby. who is
40 years old and has wife and five
children. declared he was the victim of
an extensive scheme of Matchmaking.
Four additional arrests were made
by the police during the day. Soon
after the questioning of Miss Marie
Brown Levy had been concluded by
one of the assistant district attorneys
the police took into custody Bonnie
Espey and William II. Wood at the
Algonquin apartments. and ~Jeannette
Ellis and Marie Devaughn. Miss Brown
told the police that the latter two girls
would corroborate her story.
The arrest of the Espey woman and
Wood. the police say, opened another
avenue for investigation which would
make the scope of traffic in young
women more widespread than the first
Investigations had revealed.
Wood and Miss Espey were locked
up in suspicion of being engaged in the
and begged the police not TO let her
mother know of her arrest.
The Algonquin apartments are but
a short distance from the Jonquil
apartments. where the police alleged
forty-one young girls have at differ
ent times been taken by prominent
men.
The decision of the district attor-
ney's office to place the entire matter
in the hands of the grand jury and
thus delay for a time the issuance OF
warrants came late yesterday after an
extended conference.
The scope of this matter is far be-
yond anything that we dreamed OF,
said Assistant District Attorney Nc
CARNEY. In order to bring 1t out in
full il was decided TO place the whole
matter before the grand jury and go
at it in the right manner. There will

RECEIPTS TOO LIBERAL,
BUYERS LACK INTEREST
Cattle Run Exceeds Expectations and
Prices Go to Lower Ranss-offsrinss
Largely Steers, and This Branch Of
Market Shows Greatest Weakness
Sheep Influenced by Other Livestock.

Chicago. April 23.-Hog prices today
continued their downward tendency
Receipts We're liberal, buyers did not
show great interest, and quotations
went below the SO mark The drop
| below SO is the first time that such
prices have prevailed since the 50 hogs
appeared this year.
Chicago received only 1900 of the
10000 hogs recorded at eleven markets
Tuesday. The total here was $500
smaller than a week ago and $500
smaller than corresponding Tuesday
YEAR ago. Combined receipts at eleven
points We're $4,000 smaller than a week
ago and 10000 smaller than a year ago.
Omaha alone had 1000 less than a week
ago and 5000 less than year ago.
The first two days Of this week
eleven markets received $1,000 less
than a week ago and $4,000 less than
a year ago Chicago's total was / 500
smaller than a week ago and oeSo0
smaller than corresponding two days
"a year ago.
Cattle.
A cattle run far exceeding expecta-
'ions caused g lower range of prices
Offerings ran largely to steers. and this
branch of the market showed more
weakness than butcher stock.
Quality this week is not as good as
last. The fact that the proportion of
1900 10 leo0-lb cattle coming is small
is regarded as conclusive evidence that
the country is not loaded up with them.
Feed conditions are now much the same
IS Two years ago, when feeders had
been nursing an invalid market until
heavy bullockS had accumulated on
their hands and liquidation on a ruin
Gus basis was necessary. At the cor
responding period of 1911 the class OF
cattle now selling a. s9d9.25 per cwt.
was on a Ss.20I6.40 basis An i'm

TO abundance Of corn and rougha &c

Sheep.
Sheep were Influenced by the other
markets and prices were barely steady
