False Statements.
Blanket Falls

We wish to call attention of
the public to several articles that
have appeared in the last few
weeks in some of the papers, in
connection with the fire at the
penitentiary in this state, which
destroyed the twine mills,
These statements, sent out by
prominent state officials, inti-
mated, and in most cases, di-
rectly asserted, that the Inter-
national Harvester Co. of Amer
ica had taken advantage of the
destruction of the plant to jump
the price of twine two cents a
pound. Such statements COM
ing from the source they do, will
be taken for the truth by many.
Now the real facts are that
the disturbed conditions in
southern Mexico where most of
the fiber that is used in the man
ufacture of twine IS purchased,
have caused the advance in the
price of twine, and that the adj
vance in price was made before
the penitentiary fire and by all
of the twine companies, except
one or two small concerns which
had fiber that was purchased
last year. **

Murderer Gets
Two Years
Slayer of L. c. BOnham
Pleads Self Defense

After what was probably the
shortest prosecution in St. LOUIS
where the taking of human life
was charged, verdict of man
slaughter was returned against
Edward Schoenborn, Tuesday
morning. He was sentenced to
two years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary.
Schoenborn was charged with
killing l.. c. Bonham in a quarrel
over a nickel in a pool hall at 800
North Jefferson avenue, August
IL, last. He was charged with
murder in the second degree.
His trial, Monday afternoon,
from the summoning of the jury
panel to the conclusion of argu-
ments, lasted little little more
than two hours. The jury rend-
cred a sealed verdict, which was
read at the opening of court
Tuesday.
The State, through witnesses
put on by Assistant Circuit At
torney Maroney, endeavored to
prove that Schoenborn hit Bon
ham across the right temple
with a billiard cue, tracturing
the skull and knocking him
against a table and breaking two
ribs.
| Schoenborn testified that he
did not hit Bonham with a bill.
lard cue, but that Bonham raised
a cue to strike him, and that hC
then, in self-defense, hit Bon
ham with his fist. In falling
Bonham s head struck a billiard
table he testified.
Bonham was proprietor of
pool hall. The dispute between
the two men arose over the num-
Der of games played by Schoen'
born and e. Il Minges. There
was difference of five cents be-
tween their calculations. Min
ges testified that they were
quarreling over the five cents
when he stepped outside of the
hall.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
Mr.. Bonham was formerly a
resident of Meade. The facts
of his death are familiar to our
people. The punishment meted
out to the murderer is nothing
in proportion to the crime he
has committed.

The Second
Recommendation
Investigating Committees
Report
By Congressman Neeley

By Congressman Neeiey
The~evidence produced to the
committee showed that the pres
ent management of stock ex-
changes and clearing house as
sociations is highly conducive
to the concentration of money
and credits in the hands of few
men. Indeed, this evidence con-
vinced the committee that one of
the prime reasons for the organi-
zation of these two institutions
was that certain gentlemen might
become the absolute dictators of
the nations finances, and so well
have they done their work that
today 180 men hold 385 director
ships in Al banks and trust COM
panies, having total resources of
$3,832, 100000 and total deposits
of So, ,S34, 900, 900; so director
ships IN II insurance companies
having total assets of S2,646,
100000; l55 directorships in 81
railroad systems having a total
capitalization of $12, ,193, 900, 900
with a total mileage of l63,200
miles; and 6 dlrectorships in two
express companies and direct
Orships in one steamship COM
pany with com bined capitaliza-
ton of $245, 900, 900 and having a
gross annual income of $97, 900,
Gee.
< These same men hold 98 di-
Eectorships in % producing and
trading corporations having a
total capitalization of s3,5S3,0o0,
600 and total gross annual earn
ings in excess of 81, ,145, 600, 600;
4S directorships in 10 public utill-
ties corporations, having a total
capitalization of $2,S26, 600, ,000
and total gross annual earnings
in excess of $4,000, 900. In all,
these $50 men hold 40 director
ships in 134 corporations, having
total resources or capitalization
of $25, 325, ,OOO,O
The committee further found
that of these $50 men, three we're
admittedly at the top of the fl
nancial heap. P. Morgan, Geo.
F. Baker and James Stillman, and
we're the great directing forces
in control of the financial policy
of the entire United States, hav-
ing under its immediate and ac-
tual control, more than nine times
as much wealth as is located
within the entire boundaries of
the state of Kansas, and consti-
tuting one-ffth of the total wealth
in the federal union.
Since the committee has filed
its report, the dominating force
-bf this trio has died, but under
the system that has grown up
during his reign of power, but
able successors have already taxi
en- his place and the work of ac-
cumulation and concentration
goes merrily on.
That a remedy must be devils
ed to control this abnormal con-
d1tion if the republic is to sur
vive, no patriotic individual in the
land can deny. After months of
painstaking consideration our
committee recommended the fol-
lowing plan as valuable in solving
the situation.
THE COMMITTEES PRO-
POSAL.
That no national bank become
a mber of any clearing house
association until such association
becomes body corporate; that
membership in such ASSOCIATION
be limited to incorporated, banks
and trust companies. and that
