POULTRY ASSO-
CATION AND
COUNTY FAIR
LOCAL BIRD FANCIERS HAD THIS
IN MIND WHEN THEY ORGANIC.
ED, AND NOW THE NEW LAW
MAKES 1T POSSIBLE.

The Poultry Breeders association,
recently organized in this city, had
in mind the time when their organi-
zation would lead to a county fair,
and now that the new county fair
law, recently enacted by the legisla-
ture, which is now in full force and
effect, has made it possible to organ
ize a county fair association, their
dreams may be realized sooner than
they expected.
The poultry growers in this city
started out with over thirty enthusi-
astic fans. and they have extended
invitations to fanciers over the coun-
ty to come and join them. They are
affiliated with the American Poultry
Growers association, and hope to
have the state meeting here in the
near future. Last year the meet was
held at Guthrie, and over three thou
sand birds were on exhibition.
The local association invites any.
one interested to meet with them.
Their meetings are held every Thurs
day night in the rooms of the Cham
Der of Commerce at the court house.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. April 30.-The prosecu-
tion in the Van Horn murder case
rested at-11:15 this morning. Attorney
Markley, for the defense, then moved
a directed verdict for acquittal, saying
the testimony Of the state was wholly
circumstantial and fails TO show the
death OF Chester Van Horn was not by
suicide, also because of no evidence to
connect the defendant With the death
or show any crime was committed. The
argument Of her attorney and the an
swer of the state probably will take
most Of the afternoon.
Sheriff Marsh testified today that at
the time he served a subpoena on Mrs.
Van Horn to appear at the inquest she
said: II have got to go to Jail, have ~
Later in Jail she asked for the sheriff
and in conversation stated that In
about three hours she would tell who
killed Chester Van Horn. The sheriff
called later and she refused to tell.

President Wilson Secs No Reason For
Removal From Arhitration Board.

President Wilson Sees No Rsason For
Removal From Arbitration. Board.
Washington. April 3O-President
Wilson has concluded that there Is no
good reason for the withdrawal Of
Charles Nagei former secretary Of
commerce and labor. from the arbitra-
tion board handling the wage dispute
between the western railroads and their
flremen and enginemen because OF the
protest that as trustee Of the Busch
estate Of st. Louis. he is interested in
railway securities.
The president came to this conclus-
ion after conferences with Martin A.
Knapp. chairman OF the federal board
of mediation and conciliation. He takes
the position that the railroad employees
knew Mr.. Nagel was a trustee OF tine
Busch estate when he ws elected as an
arbitrator, and as no protest was made
then, he sees no reason for his with
drawal when an award is about to be
made. The limit set for the arbitration
proceedings expires today but the
board has power to extend it.

SIOUX CITY PACKERS
PROTEST NEW RATES
Proposed Increase on Meats Would Be
Discrimination in Favor Of Chicago,
Says Iowa Stock Yards Manager
Unfair TO Western Packers.

Chicago, April 30-Protest against
increased freight tariffs on packing
house products as they would affect
Sioux City, Iowa., were offered to-
day in the freight rate hearings, by
w. II. Benn, traffic manager of the
Sioux City Yards.
What we wish il a fair transporta-
ton rate" said Mr. Benn. $50 we can
have share Of the businehss. Most of
the stock slaughtered 3at Sioux City
comes from the northwest, whence the
average distance to Sioux City is 452
miles less than to Chicago. For that
additional haul Chicago pays 1871 cents
q hundred pounds ON cattle, 1916 cents
on hogs, and 1876 cents on sheep. or
from to 6 cents per ear mile. On pack
Ing house products shipped from Sioux
City to Chicago we pay, from 9 to 13
cents per car mile, Ve contend that
the proposed increase OF 31a cents on
packing house products without a cor
responding increase on livestock rates
would not be fair to Sioux CITY,
The advance, he argued, would also
be unfair in competition with Omaha
and st. Paul.

China, the Japanese ambassador. had
another long conference today with
Secretary Bryan, presumably on the
Japanese Chinese negotiations being
conducted in Peking. Both officials
adhered rigidly to the policy OF
secrecy, but 1t was assured the confer

the twenty-one demands with three
added demands.
While no inkling has been given Of
the course to be followed by the United

mands. those familiar with the

London. April 30-The proposals in
troduced in the house Of commons by
David Lloyd-ieorge. chancellor Of the
exchequer, to double the duty on spir-
its, Quadruple the duties on wines and
institute an increase by graduated tax
on beer-to encourage the use of light
or beers-were strongly opposed, and
1t Is generally believed that the new
taxes will have to be moderated before
parliament will accept them.
The Obrienites. as protest against
an additional taxation on Irish whis-
kies and beers. brought about the first
division in the house since the outbreak
Of the war by taking the unusual
course Of voting against the provision
al resolutions bringing the taxes into
force at once, to prevent Withdrawals
from bond while parliament Is dealing
with the matter. The resolution relat-
ing to spirits was adopted by q vote
of 80 to 5, the minority being COM
posed Of O'Brienites.
The nationals also protested against
the measure. but did not vote. The un-
.1onists. who withheld criticism until all
the facts could be placed before them,
also abstained from voting.
Usually these provisional resolutions
are carried without division, for, should
parliament refuse to sanction the taxes
they are refunded to those who may
have paid.
