FUND WILL AID FARMER
PACKERS VOTE $5oo,ooo TO SHOW
PROFITS IN BEEF.
Chicago Convention Says U. s. Keeps
High Meat Prices by Demanding
Label Change Too Often.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Five hundred
thousand dollars was voted on Monday
by the American Meat Packers asso-
citation, in session here, to stimulate
cattle raising. This step was taken
as the result of the situation which
the packers declare eonfronts the
country-a meat famine by 1923-and
to lower the high cost of living.
This was decided by the meat pack
ers on Monday at their annual conven-
tion. on the motion of Gustav Bischotf,
Sr., OF the Independent Paeking coms
pany, st. Louis, president of the or
ganization.
What the farmers of the country
need is education along the lines of
how to operate their farms,Y said Mr..
Bischoff. They imagine that the only
way they can make both ends meet Is
to raise an abundance of grains and
feed no beef cattle.
''As a matter of fact, there is not a
farmer in the land who could not
raise a few beef cattle to good advan-
tage. What the farmers need is edu-
cation. With this in mind, 1 move
that fund Of 100000 year be voted
for period Of five years. to be ex-
pended among the farmers in a cam
paign of education Until the farmers
raise cattle for beef, the price of meat
cannot be lowered. AS long as the
supply is scant the price must Of ne
sessity be high"
The motion to create the $500,000
educational fund was carried by unani-
nous vote, and President Bischoff will
appoint a committee to devise ways
and means for carrying on this work.

state Flag of Kentucky Here.

Mackenzie R. Todd, secretary
OF the Perry's Victory Centen.
NAL Commission, who is in ken
tucky to attend the Louisville celebea-
tion, called on Governor McCreary and
presented to him the flag, which was
holsted over the Priscilla, the yacht
on which the governor rode from
Cleveland to Putin Bay, Ohio, to at
tend the celebration there. This flag,
which has a blue ground, bearing the
legend Commonwealth of Kentucky"
and ths state seal, hand painted, was
especially designed for the occasion,
and is so far as known, the first Ken
lucky flag ever hoisted by a Kentucky
governor.
The state has never adopted flag,
and when this fact was made known
to Secretary Todd, he had this one
mode in Cleveland. 1t is probable that
the next General Assembly will be
asked to adopt flag, possibly of this
design. Governor McCreary intends
to present this flag to the State His
torical Society.
Robert w. Brown, president of the
Louisville Convention and Publicity
League, invited Governor McCreary to
attend the Perry celebration The
governor promised to attend Monday
and Thursday of this week and the
following Sunday, the latter date being
the centenary of the Battle of the
Thames.

WITNESSES HIT SULZER
SWEAR GOVERNOR ASKED THEM
TO CONCEAL GIFTS.
Morganthau Says Executive Asked to
Be ShieIded-Croker, Jr., Aided
the Campaign.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. Ex-Governor.
Sulzer tried to persuade contributors
to his campaign fund not to testify
against him, according to evidence
adduced at his impeachment trial Fri
day.
He asked Duncan w. Peck, state SUI
perintendent of public works, who gave
$500 to the fund, to violate his oath
on the witness stand in event he
should be called to testify before the
Frawley investigating committee, Peck
swore. The governor, Peck asserted,
had told him that he, too, would deny
having received contributions. This
conversation, he said, was held in the
governors office at the capitol.
The governor asked Henry w. Nor
genthau, ambassador to Turkey, who
contributed $1,000 to be "easy on him."
and to treat the affair between US as
personal in the event that he should
be called to testify. This Mr Nor
genthau swore to when recalled to the
stand. He said the request was made
by the governor over the long distance
telephone on September last.
1t was further brought out that Rich
ard Croker, Jr., son of the former lead
er Of Tammany, had contributed a S2,-
600 check, payable, at the request of
Sulzer, to the order of Cash." and
that the check was cashed by Fred
erick L. Colwell.
The high court Of impeachment
swept away William Suffers last de-
tense on technicalities by vote OF 40
to and sent the governor to trial
on actual facts. Questions Of law will
be settled after the taking Of testi-
mony.
Here are the striking points
brought out in the evidence on
Wednesday,:
1. BY JACOB SCHIFF-That Sui
ger asked him for campaign con-
tribution and on receiving $4,000
asked for more, which Mr.. Schiff re-
fused
2. BY HENRY MORGENTHAU-
That he handed Sulzer personally
check for $1,000 out of a foolish
impulse of generosity.

SAN FRANCISCO OFFICIALS BE-
LIEvE THEFTs HAVE BEEN
GOING ON FOR YEARS.
FORMER THEFT is RECALLED
Coin Is Taken From Vault in Sack and
Similar One Full of Washers Sub
stItuted-Loss Will Probably
Reach $4,000.

San Francisco, Sept. ga report
published late here on Friday of the
discovery of extensive thefts in the
United States mint brought neither
confirmation nor denial from the mint
officials.
Federal secret service men called
from Washington are working on what
is believed to be the most extensive
robbery of a government depository
since the same mint was looted Of a
fortune in gold bars a decade ago.
One sack, alone containing 100000,
has been found to be missing and the
government agents fear from the
traces left by the thieves that the
mint has been looted systematically
of many thousands more.
Superintendent of the Mint T. w. S.
Shanahan refused to deny the report
that the loss is heavy one. He has
referred all inquiries to the treasury
department In Washington, from
which, he declares, all information
come.
The sack, which had contained $780,
600, had been replaced by similar
one containing iron washers, almost
equalizing the gold in weight The
sack bore the ordinary government
stamp. The secret service men have
all employees Of the mint under sur
veillance.
Thirty government agents and &C.
countants are working to determine
the extent of the loss
Il cannot discuss the matter under
the circumstances" was the only an.
swer ELECTED from Superintendent
Shanahan. ''It is official business and
something for the authorities at
Washington to deal with"
About ten years ago one man, alone
and unaided, tunneled under the mint
and after several nights of work sue
ceeded in carrying gold bars worth
nearly 100000 down to the seashore,
where he cashed it. When he feared
that he had been traced by secret serv.
ice men he visited the hiding place of
the bullion at night and threw it into
the bay. He was later arrested, and
after his confession the greater
amount of the treasure was recovered.

ein To Abolish Fees.

6l1l o ABOLISH = CGS-
The salaries OF the clerks of the two
United States district courts of Ken
lucky, at Louisville and Covington, are
fixed at $4,000 year in a bill intro
duced in the house by Representative
Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama, chair
man of the judiciary committee The
bill abolishes the present fee system
in all the Offices in the country and
provides a penalty of Imprisonment
not exceeding five years or fine from
$50 to $500, for any clerk to accept a
fee or other remuneration for his serv-
ices, aside from his prescribed salary.
The salaries are different for the diff
ferent courts, $4,000 being the max
imum The change is said to be made
necessary by the reorganization of the
judiciary, which as made it impossible
for clerks of district courts to receive
more than $1,000 year under the fee
system. This amount is declared to be
inadequate for Kentucky and other
courts. The fact that the measure is
backed by the chairman of the house
judiciary committee indicates that it
will probably become law next win

RATING BOARD
MAKES new RULE
FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES
MUST FILE DUPLICATES OF
ALL INDIVIDUAL RATES.
GRIEVANCES WILL Be HEARD
Board Has Called Meeting at Chicago,
Oct. g. To Hear Protests Against
Rates on Tobacco.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
F'rankfort.-Fire insurance COM
panies in Kentucky must keep on file
the make up" of all individual, rates
in risks written in the state hereafter
and file duplicates in the Office of the
state rating board The board adopts
basic rates, which are varied by the
companies writing the risks, according
to the character of the building con-
struction and the special hazards and
exposures. So many complaints of
increased premiums have come in
since the basic rates were reduced on
dwelling property that the board has
promulgated this new rule, so that it
will have on file data concerning every
risk written in the state. The board
was requested that all dwelling house
owners, who have grievance. to file
complaints. The board considered
number of complaints from Elizabeth
town, Frankfort and Somerset, which
will be investigated. The board also
notified insurance companies, which
asked for an extension of time on the
recording of risks written with losses
and premiums, that they must begin
keeping the record now, and any ex-
planation required will be made as
they are asked for. Russellville, whose
mayor and city council complained the
city had arbitrarily been placed in
higher class for insurance rates by the
companies, was placed back in the
fourth and one-half class with the
same rates that prevailed before the
companies placed it in the fifth class.
The insurance companies alleged that
the water plant had not sufficient ca
pacity to furnish adequate fire protec
ton. The city is attaching its pipes
to two big railroad tanks to be used
in case of emergency, and the board
considered that this removed the OBJ
stacle to a reduction in rates. The
companies have SO days notice before
this goes into effect The board called
a meeting for October 6 in Chicago,
when protests of the insurance COM
panies against the proposed reduced
rates on tobacco risks will be heard.
A meeting will be held in Covington,
possibly this week, to consider the
question whether mutual companies
operating on the stock company plan
shall be affected by the rates. Mutual
companies do not come under the oper-
ations of rules promulgated by the
board.

Want a Rest
From Politics.

The people at large are tired of pol
tiles. They want to rest. BY an
overwhelming vote they expressed
their confidence in the democratic
party and now having trusted to the
wisdom of its policies, they want to
be let alone. The country is fairly
prosperous and business and work are
pressing.
It is noticeable that congress has re-
ceived scarcely any partitions and
memorials this season. The clerks of
the house and senate say there was
never before such a dearth of this kind
Of documents. Generally speaking the
people are taking little interest in any
particular bills.
Usually at the beginning of term
congress is flooded with petitions of
various kinds. but this year the people
seem to be too busy with their own
affairs to draw up resolutions.
This is good omen. And the next
congress and the next president may
safely be trusted to act well and
wisely.
