PROTESTS

BY United Press.
Washington, July 16.-A flood of
protests is pouring into the depart
ment of agriculture against the extra
ordinary advances in meat prices. 1t
is said that these protests will hasten
the departments investigation which
has been in progress for six months.
Department experts have been in
vestigating the situation with view
to determining the causes. The plac-
ing of Argentine beef on the free list
is not bringing down the cost of meat
as was expected
Department statistics show that the
ratio of meat animals to population de-
clined from seven hundredths of one
animal per capita in 1900 to thirty-six
hundredths in 1914, while the per cap
ita of consumption is three pounds
more now.
Live Stock Prices.
The level Of prices paid to produe
ers of the United States for meat ami
mails decreased one per cent during
the month of May Is to June 10. This
compares with an increase Of 1.6 pei
cent in the price level from May Is t
June Is last year, a decrease of two
per cent two years ago, a decrease o
IT per cent three years ago, decreas'
of IL per cent four years ago, from
May Is to June Is.
In the six months from December L
to June is the level of prices for mea
animals advanced 5.4 per cent. Thi
compares with an advance of 1853 pc
cent two years ago, and a decline Q
1913 per cent three years ago from De
cember Is to June Is.
On June Is the average weighted
. price of meat animals-hogs, cattle
: sheep, and chickens-was $7.22 per 10
t pounds, compared with S7.19 on Jun
, 15 a year ago. S6.27 two years ag'
) s5.45 three years ago, and 1929 for

JEROME EXPECTS LONG FIGHT
Convinced That Thaw Case VIII
Reach supreme Court.

William Travers jerome said yesterday
that he is now convinced the Thaw case
will reach the Supreme Court OF the
United States.
This means that Harry Thaw may not
be returned to Matteawan for several
years. IL ever, and that in the meantime
he probably will be out on bail 10 act
as his whims dictate.
THE report of Judge Aldrichs commits
sion in finding Thaw sane said Mr..
Jerome, does not affect the legal status
OF his case and Is of no consequence eN-
cept that II may AFFORD Thaw the OPP
portunity OF reaching some foreign coun
try from which he cannot be extradited.
Whatever way Judge Aldrich acts In
regard TO the present proceedings the
case will 40 to the United States Supreme
Court. You may bet your fortune that
the Supreme Court will say that Gov
Felker acted correctly In granting the
extraditlon and Thaw he brought back
into the State OF New York"
From the District Court in which the
case now stands an appeal would carry
it to the Circuit Court Of Appeals An
appeal from any decision OF that court
| would place the matter on the calendar
OF the United States Supreme Court.
Mr.. Jerome was ready to admit that
Thaw probably had shown no signs Of
committing violence since he has been IN
New Hampshire's custody.
I'VE didn't expect him to-" said he
'as he Is paranoiac. and paranOiacs are
not violent as rule except toward the
objects OF their delusion. But you Just
lock Thaw up In a room with his wife
DR.. Flint. De Lancey Nicoll and DIR. AL
Ian McLane Hamilton and see whether or
not he will grow violent"
Three Judges OF the Court OF General
Sessions upon being asked yesterday what
! could be done with Thaw II he entered
New York State after being released on
bail replied that he could he arrested OH
the bench warrant issued as n result OF
the conspiracy charge and that he could
be confined In the penitentiary for a year
conspiracy being n misdemeanor carrying
that penalty.
Most OF the attorneys seen were of the
opinion that Thaw could not he arrested
In any State other than New York while
his habeas corpus proceedings In the
| Federal courts are undecided. Mr.
Jerome, however. would not commit him
self on this question. saying that an ar.
rest outside OF New Hampshire nigh,

Federal court and 1t might not.
