Especial correspondence

Washington July 14.-At the very
outset of the fight in the senate over
the combinations of Thomas D. Jones,
of Chicago. and Paul NJ. Warburg. OF
New York, for members of the federal
reserve board there promises to be a
battle royal on the question of con-
sidering the nominations in the day
light of public sessions instead Of be-
hind closed doors.
The opponents of Jones and Warburg
will demand public sessions. The sup
porters of these two nominees. or most
OF them. will resist public sessions. The
lines in this fight will not follow en-
tirely the lines of the votes on con.
irnation OF the two men.
Fight on Secret Sessions.
While the advocates of the public
session do not expect to force the con-
sideration Of the nominations in the
open, they expect to make a strong
showing and to take long step ahead
in the direction of abolishins the Sc
cret SESSION of the senate.
1t was in the fight over the con-
firmation of Winthrop NJ. Daniels, Of
New Jersey. for interstate commerce
commissioner that a powerful move
ment was started to have the name
considered in the open session. This
movement failed to get the doors OF
the executive meetings pried open, but
Il did result in a number of senators
serving notice they would not be bound
by the rule OF secrecy

important international questions. He
intends to continue this demand. he
feels that every such effort, like the

nominees. helps 20 doom the executive
session.
Senator Hitchcock. acting chairman
Of the banking and currency commit
tee said ne would be glad to see the
nominations considered in the open. In
any event. he will urge the senate TO
remove the seal of secrecy from the
testimony of Jones before the banking

jority report of the banking committee

Two Citizens Of Minneapolis Arrested
on Charge Of Defraudi,s Mason City
Man Out Of 5000 on Fake Horse

Special to Times Republican.
Minneapolis, July 14.-E,dward Dixon

rants were issued June charging
them with swindling E. ". Coyle, of
Mason City. out of $1,000 by fake
wire tapping game, are in the central
police station today awaiting a hear
ing on the charge preferred by the po
lice. The arrest at the Excelsior boat
docks last night followed an earlier
trip to the homes of the two near Ex-
celsior shortly after the swindle was
reported to the police. AT that time
the police failed to get either of them.
On May 20 Coyle. who is fuel deal
err. was taken to building which he
said was in an alley near the postoffice
and there indnuced to bet $4,000 on an
alleged horse race. He won $4,000 and
was then threatened with arrest by a
man who posed as a detective. The
man posing as a detective said he had
heard complaints of gambling. Coyle
and one of the swindlers left the build
ing but agreed that they would meet
the following day in Des Moines. where

The control of our standing timber

from such speculative holding, are un.

DECLINE FROM HIGH PRICES
FORCED BECAUSE OF HEAVY
RECEIPTS.
PRIME BUTCHER GRADES
RELATIVELY SCARCE
Demand For Cattle Proves Sh9ht-No
Ready Outlet For Sheep and Lambs
Review Of Market Conditions in
General - Current Quotations at
Livestock centers.

Chicgo. July 14.-Increased arrivals
brought decline today in the hog mar
ket. Prime butcher grades, however,
were relatively scarce.
Quality is much better than that OF
last week and the price range narrowed
UP again slightly, with strictly goou
mixed offerings showing the most
strength. Pigs have not been very
plentiful and were in excellent demand
Monday. selling largely 70 cents higher
than any time Saturday. Spectators
were out early and bought freely ana
shippers and small packers competed
against them freely. Big packers We're
in the mood to hold prices down on the
tirst round. but soon abandoned such
tactics and We're good supporters OF the
late trade.
Cattle.
Demand for cattle proved light.
Some OF the cattle offered on Mon
days market sold at prices that looked
anywhere from IS cents TO 81 higher
than the low spot in June. The ad-
vance of last week failed TO bring III
an oversupply of cattle, especially the
choicest lots, which caused buyers u
believe that they are lacking in tbs
country and the higher prices with d.
new top for the year was the result.
Farmers are busy in the territory trib-
utary to the Chicago market and tltat
was given as Tie reason for the small
run. But the continual advance IN
prices the past week created builiSn
feeling in the country that is partly
responsible.
So far this week only a moderate
supply of stocker and feeder cattle has
been received The demand did not
show any improvement over last week
and despite the moderate run prices
did not get any strength. Sales of
stocker and feeder cattle are generally
steady with the finish Of last week..
Some of the light weight stock cattle
are very slow sellers from first hands
and were in many places barely steady.
Country buyers are still lacking on
the market for thin cattle and orders
for same are small and trade is very
quiet Yard dealers had only a snall
number left from last week Much
work is still being done in the fields
and this Is keeping most of the buy
ers at home Best grades of yearlins
stockers and feeder cattle have been
very scare during the past week and
this kind is quoted at s7.751 7.s5.
Last weeks trade was the smallest
of the year and the Monday business
was not much larger on an average.
The advance in fat cattle prices has
failed to attract Buyers. On the Mon
day market. fat steers sold up to 80.
At these prices demand should prove
quite good as soon IS feeders are In q
position to handle stock.
Like last week. packers do not dis
play any urgent demand for the can
ner and cutter COWS consequently trade
has been rather slow ali thru the ses-
sion and prices did not get any
strength like the fat sorts.
Sheep.
There was no ready outlet for sheep
and lambs.

background Of the concentration Of
land and timber ownership shown In
this report A study Of the present
ownership of 100000 acres of railroad
wagon road and canal grant lands, COW
ering most Of the granted lands In
the map area. and little elsewhere,
shows that Of these particular lands
granted long ago to single corporations
apparently with the idea that they
would be quickly sold to settlers. only
Is per cent are now distributed In
small holdings. Eighty five per cent
are owned by the grantees of their sue
cessors. or by large timber holders. OF
$500, 900 acres granted to three west
ern railroads in :he sixties. the roads
still retained 40 per cent in 1910.
Moreover, the states appear to have
disposed of the various federal grants
made to them in such a way as to con-
tribute to the concentration of land
and timber ownership. Florida Is
striking example of this. Again. the
public land laws. the cash sale law
(now repealed), the scrip laws and the
homestead and timber and stone laws
operated, at least in timber regions to
transfer government lands directly, OF
almost directly. to great holders.
Ninety eight per cent Of the 1.50O.-
900 acres comprised in the largest TIM
Der holding in the lake states was &C
quired in wholesale manner. chiehy
from tracts disposed OF by the govern
ment through grants to the state or
under the scrip and the cash-sale laws.
This marked concentration in the
ownership of land has two important
n re Tho iS the concentration
of control of the natural resources,
other than agricultural. in the area
comprised IN these great holdings. Be-
sides its timber now standing. part OF
the land must re depended on, to-
gether with the national forests. to
supply future crops of timber Further
more of ores, gas. water power
etc.
The second is the possibly that
these holdings, which will form con-
siderable proportion of the future area
used for agriculture in this country
may be retained under concentrated
control. Formerly lumbermen often
got rid of their cut over land at nomi-
nal prices or let ii go for taxes. But
as the agricultural possibilities OF such
land have become apparent this policy
is now of considerable value for till
age. That part of the present TIMBER
land which, when denuded, VIII ne
arabic, will have a higher and higher
value as land the longer the timber Is
KEEP; uncut: because if the timber is
held for many years the land, when
finally denuded. will be in greater de-
mand for agriculture. Such condl-
ton suggests the following potential
effects upon the public: High prices
for land sold to settlers. increase OF
the tenantry system. or direct farming
by large corporations.
