family when a reporter called at the
Madison avenue address. Mrs. Emma

said her brother left the house early
in the morning and informed her he

Packers and shippers said that scar

creases of prices are the result Of

raisers to rush their cattle to market
even on the falling prices.
Packers say that the consumer, as

 The charge may be %true' of some license men, but not of all. There was no difficulty in putting the 12-mills rate in effect at the meeting, yet the license men, striving hard, could not win at the town meeting on the issste vital to them last month.
