 In Dynamite Plot

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. So Sentences varying from seven years imprisonment in the feder- al prison at Leavenworth Kan. to one year and one day, and to sus- pended sentences were today im- posed upon the 38 labor union off, ficials convicted in the dynamite conspiracy cases.
 Olaf. A. Tyeltmore of San Francisco, convicted on charges of aiding in plotting the destruct- ion the Los Angles Times build- ing, and Eugene A. Clancey, also of San Francisco, were given six years each.
 Ryan, as head of the union, re- ceived the heaviest penalty of seven years.
 Herbert $. Hockin received six years.
 All the prisoners who received terms are to taken to Leaven- worth Kan. probably tonight.
 All motions for new trials for the 38 labor union officials con- victed in the dynamite conspira- cy cases today were overruled by Federal Judge Albert B. Ander- son.
 Shortly before the hour for re- convening court the prisoners were taken from cells, handcuff- ed between deputy marshals, and in wagons carried to the federal building five blocks away.
 At the federal building few people greeted the men. These were the wives and the women relatives who for AS hours have paced the distance between the jail and the court with their app peals to see the prisoners.
 In the court room the prisoners were seated in three rows of chairs. according to tie alphabet ical arrangement of their names.

STATE FIRE INSURANCE.

(From the Omaha World-Herald)
The sovereign state of Missouri is
face to face with a vexatious problem
The recent legislature enacted a new
antitrust law of drastic nature, and
particularly severe in it's application
to the fire insurance companies.
The insurance companies complain
that this law forbids their use Of the
actual bureau rates, the only scien-
tific basis of rate making they have.
They complain that these rates were
made at an expense of quarter mil
lion dollars under a prior law which
compelled the making Of the identical
rates which now, under the new law,
they are prohibited from writing. And
they aver they have no other guide
under which insurance can be written
in Missouri.
The consequence Is that companies
represented in the Western Insurance
Bureau and the Western Insurance
Union, controlling more than 80 per
cent Of the insurance business OF Mis-
souri,, have decided to do no further
business in the state after April 80.

FOOTBALL VS.. TENNIS.
(Woman's Home Companion.l

(Woman's Home Companion.)
There was once United States
tennis champion named Robert D.
Wrenn. Wrenn was also at one time
a famous football player, in the days
when there were 35 minute halves to
that game. And in speaking of the
two, Mr.. Wrenn once said:
There is no comparison in the
strain of the two games put upon the
body 1t is much easier to go through
two 35-minute halves of football than
to play a fiveset championship match
Of tennis"
To be sure the game can be played
in a lackadaisical manner. But il
isn't really tennis.

Prices paid for wool at Pilot Rock
yesterday and at the sale at Mountain
Home, Idaho. a few
Free Wool and days previous show
Good Prices. very clearly the mar
ket is strong despite
the fact the buying is upon a free
wool basis The prices paid were but
slightly under those given last year
and the prices were better than those
paid during some seasons several years
ago when wool enjoyed full protection
and there was no probability of the
tariff being disturbed. 1t seems fair
to presume the buyers have used the
present tariff situation TO bear the
market somewhat and If so then the
sale yesterday might have stood even
better prices than were paid.
The situation&if the East Oregon
ian understands 1t right-proves clear
ly that demand and supply have far
than has the tariff. When the de-
mand is strong the price is good re-
gardless of what may be done with the
tariff. But when the demand is lack
ing the price goes down and no am
cunt of tariff protection can bolster
it up. This is shown by the situation
today as compared with the prices that
prevailed following the financial fur
ry several years ago. The files of the
East Oregonian show that at the wool
sale held in Pendleton on May 20,
1908, the prices offered by the buyers
ranged from u IA to 13 Is cents
and out of 100000 pounds offered
for sale only four clips were sold.
For the Cunningham company's wool
price of IL Is cents was offered
and the bid was rejected. Yesterday
that company's wool sold at price of
IA cents for fine wool and Is IA
cents for coarse. At a sale held at
Arlington in 1908 the buyers attempt
ed to buy Gillian county wool at pri-
ces ranging from six to eight cents
per pound. Yet there was no possi-
bility of free wool in 1908. Congress
was strongly republican.
Woolgrowers need not fear free
wool as long as general business con-
ditions remain sound and the demand
for wool keeps up. What would cause
the grower grief would be a business
slump that would cause the average
buyer TO wear a suit of clothes for
two seasons where he now wears IL
but one, thus cutting the demand in
half But there is no likelihood of such
a business depression Tariff revision
will not cause such a condition be-
cause the revision Of the tariff will
benefit 90 per cent of the people and
it Is absurd to expect hard times from
legislation of such a beneficial char
acter Nor is il at all probable that
currency reform which will be taken
up next will bring any trouble. This
because the country wants currency

recourse would prove an interesting
and might prove a highly valuable

But there is objection to any large

occur they invariably prove unhappy

Farmers Do Not Get II.

la view of the announcement that
eggs have dropped in price from 80 cts.
a dozen to so cents dozen, Maryland
farmers will be Interested in bulletin
issued By the Department Of Agricul-
ture pointing out that the average price
received 10y farmers in Maryland for
eggs in 1912 was IS cents dozen dur
ing October; . cents in November, and
II cents in December. The exorbi-
tant price for eggs is difficult to under
stand in view of the statement that the
production of eggs in the United States
is increasing steadily per annum. ac-
cordng to statement issued by Di
rector W. ]. Harris, of the Bureau of
the Census
Official census figures show that in
1899 the total production of eggs
amounted to 8. 293 662. 600 dozens, or an
average Of 40 dozens per capita; 1909,
the production was |. 59l. 81 900 dozens.
or an average of II 3 dozens per capita,
and for 1913 the production (estimated)
will be List $50. 900 dozens. or III
dozens per capita.
The increase in the annual production
of eggs in the United States from 1899
to 1900 was % per cent, while the in
crease in the population OF this country
for the same decade was p per cent !;
in other words. the increase in the pro-
duction Of eggs for 10 years was greater
than the inci ease in population.
