Predicts Mutton
Famine in u. S.

Salt Lake City, Jan. 1S.-A mutton
famine was predicted Saturday by j. E.
Poole, editor of the Chicago Live Stock
World, in an address before the Ma
tional Wool Growers Association meet
ing IN annual session. During the next
five years, he said, the scarcity would
become acute.
Mr.. Poole said that for the last five
years the West had been marketing
eve lambs in the same reckless manner
as it sent heifer calves to the butcher
from 1900 to 1910. Good authorities. he
said, estimated that so per cent. of the
eve fccks of the West are averaged
and that a bad. winter would scatter
their carcasses over the ranges, thus
precipitating a scarcity of mutton that
in any event cannot long be delayed.
''One short lamb crop" said Mr.
Poole, would put both lamb and NUT
ton in the same category as lobster
and terrapin."
All officers were reelected and Salt
Lake City was selected as the place of
meeting next year by the association
late Saturday.
The report of the committee on Res
buttons brought forth a defence of the
national Democrats administration by
James H. Moyle of Salt Lake City. Mr..
Moyle's speech resulted in the adop-
ton of an amendment to the clause
condemning the tariff act, so that in
stead of protesting against the entire
law only the wool schedule was re-
ferred to-
The resolution as amended read:
Resolved, That we the National
Wool Growers Association, protest
against the present tariff act as being
unfair and sectional. as it affects our
industry, and we hereby pledge this
association to use all honorable means
to have this law changed so that it
will provide equal justice to, all Sec
tions whether framed on a revenue or
protective basis"
Another resolution adopted urged
that federal land leasing law should,
if passed, provide for local control"
The convention adjourned.

Charge Police and
Burglars Partners.


New York, Jan. 1S.-Members of the
police force and private watchmen in
this city have worked together with
loft burglars and then shared the
spoils, according to a confession Sat
urday by Samuel Cohen, a prisoner
in the Tombs, held on charge of
burglary.
Cohen is alleged to have been the
head of a gang of loft burglars.
AS one result of the confession, Sam
uel Herman, charged with having stol-
en- goods in his possession, was ar
rested today and is being held in de-
fault of $4,000 bail.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Frederick j. Groehl
said that the confession made by Co
hen was very complete and had placed
sufficient evidence at his disposal to
convict a number of policemen and
watchmen. He will submit the case
to the grand jury.
Cohen claims that the policemen i'm
plieated picked places to be robbed by
the burglars and saw to it that those
arrested were turned loose because of
insufficient evidence. Failure of some
confederates in the police force to come
to his assistance when he was arrest
ed on Nov. % last is given by Cohen
as the reason for his confession.

Portland. Me-, Jan. 1S.-Capt. w. H.
Davis of the schooner Rehecea Palmer
was warmly congratulated Saturday

During the storm the vessel was
badly pounded by wind and sea, and
it was a constant flight to keep down
the ice. She sustained no special dam
age except the loss of her sails.

Indictments in BOs=
tonMayoraltyCas

Boston, Jan. 1S.-Secret indictments
were yesterday returned by the grand
jury in the Suffolk superior court
against four justices of the peace for
making false jurats on the nomina-
ton papers of Thomas J. Kenney and
James NJ. Curley, candidates for may
or in the recent election.
Warrants for the arrest of the four
men We're later secured, but no ar
rests were made Saturday. Until they
are made, the names of the men in
dicted will not be disclosed, although
at least two of them are said to be
well known.
Two of the indictments were very
bulky, each apparently containing a
large number of counts. The other two
appear TO contain but a few counts
each. The law provides no imprison-
ment for the offence, but for each
count there may be imposed fine of
from $40 to $50.
More than 200 jurats in the Kenney
papers and more than 100 in the Cur
ley papers, it is said, were defective
because the persons whose names APP
peared therein as having appeared per-
sonally before the justices of peace
who signed them did not so appear
and take oath.

bribery and corruption in connection
