stituted a reiteratlon in the friendliest
terms OF statements contained in the
previous communications.
The ex-Secretary said on the day after
he resigned that this would be explained
later. but no light has as yet been
thrown on the puzzle.
The publication of the Presidents note
and the realization that II contained no
feature that had not already been sub
scribed to by Mr.. Bryan has caused the
open charge in Washington that the
Nebraskan seized upon the peace issue
as a means Of retiring from the Wilson
Cabinet.
Mr.. Bryan's friends acknowledge mat
this impression will grow unless he shall
explain why he halted at the third note
after having signed the two others. and
they have been urging his to lose no
time In giving out his explanation.
Mr.. Bryan earlier In the day issued a
statement in which he said In part:
81 am glad TO note the change In the
tone OF the press in regard to the note
TO Germany. From the time the papers
began to publish the forecasts down to
yesterday the lingo editors have been
predicting that the matter would be
dealt with with great frmness, hat Ger
many would be told that there must be
no more delays in the acceptance OF this
Country's demands, &c.
Instead Of waiting until the note was
issued they took their own conception In

OF the note and pointing out that II does
not necessarily mean war.

UNCLE SAM TO MAKE ARMOUR TELL OF THE
CONDITIONS BACK O. TH YARDS

A cool thirty million of dollars is
the amount of profits the Armour
company earned last year. And
though the profits are piling bigger
and bigger each year, it will be shown
by the figures of Kennedy that there
has practically been no raise in wages
for ten years. Some Of these figures
were cited by George Creel of the
industrial commission staff in a
speech at the Hotel Sherman a few
weeks ago. ~.
Kennedy made this comment on
the situation Friday: ''The commits
sion was appointed to inquire into
and find the causes of industrial I'M
rest. At a time when there are so
many people who don't have enough
proper food to nourish their bodies, it
is fitting that the commission should
call as a witness the one man who is
supreme in fixing the prices of meat
and controlling the food supply of
the nation"

At the same time one of Egan's
men served subpoena on John G.
Kennedy, former associate instructor
of economics in the University of
Chicago.
These two men will testify before
the commission about what is labor
unrest in the packing houses. Ken
nedy Will tell what he saw when he
made a survey back O. the yards two
years ago.
How men fight for jobs at the gate
of the packing houses, how the low
wages paid the workers out of enor-
nous profits drive those workers to
live in s1u1ns and shanties- Kennedy
Will bring along the cold figures on
these things. He went into the houses
and talked with the people and saw
their slim wages and the mothers and
babies fighting for life against the
power of the worlds greatest meat
packers.
And Ogden Armour win offer an
explanation why he wants these
things the way they are. He lives on
a 1,4O0 acre estate at Lake Forest.
He rides down each day to the Office
of Armour & Co.
Sitting back in the big leather seat,
he passes houses where the people
who work for him are trying to live
a little life before they die. He knows
what a naked and hungry battle it is
for these thousands of people who
work for him.
"Why are these things the way
they are and what do you say about
it to the people who have their heads
and hearts troubled about it?" is the

MURPHY MUST FACE CHARGE
OF MURDER AT TULSA

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 16.-Thomas Muir
ply, charged with the murder of ID. &.
Cooley, former night jailer at the Tulsa
county jail, has been released from his
sentence of ten years in the Minnesota
state prison and will be brought back
to Tulsa to be tried for the crime
committed here. This announcement
was made from the sheriffs office here
following receipt of message from
Warden Whittier of the Minnesota pen
itentiary who stated that Murphy
would be held there pending the ar
rival of an officer from this county.
One of the sheriff's force of deputies
will be sent to take charge of the
prisoner and bring him here.
Murphy is a small man but is re-
garded as one of the most desperate
criminals ever housed in the Tulsa
county Jail He halls from Chicago
but has a police record in practically
all parts of the United States.
He is wanted in cities in the south
and east. He was being held here on
charge of burglary at the time OF
the jail delivery when the jailer was
murdered and Charles Smith and w.
H. Moore were allowed to escape as
well as Murphy, 1t is thought that
Smith has been caught in Washington.
Murphy served twoyear sentence at
McAlester for burglary He escaped
at one time from the state prison but
was recaptured at Fort Worth.

seemed to be losing it.
Ouite number of the men VINO
were feeding their cattle in the ne"

weight of the animals, the quantities
of the feed given them and the re-
sults In consequence, practically
all of the feeders know how much
their steers gained per day during
the feeding period, how much it cost
to make the gains on the cattle ana
how much profit they made on the
feeding operations. In some cases
the feeders divided their cattle ana
fed each lot different ration. COM
parisons of this kind have demon
strated beyond question the efficiency
of certain feedstuffs. For example
the value of silage made from kailr
corn and milo maize has been shown
and the value of maize chops mas alSo
been emphasized. The difference IN
results obtained by different feeders
has aroused healthy and vigorous
interest in the fundamental primer

tions with vigor in their language
and determination in their periods.
An address by Governor Williams at
the beginning of the business session
may have had something to do with
the failure of the resolutions COM

usury question. He removed all
doubts as to his intentions and
wishes.
Governor Williams was escorted
into the room by Secretary c. X.
Boardman. He came upon invitation.
A. ID. Kennedy of Okmulgee, president
of the association, introduced the gov
ernor as man whose name is a
household word in Oklahoma.
Il asked the bankers what they
wanted me to talk about" began the
governor, and they said | might talk
about anything | wished. | know
you want me to talk about usury, and
| shall not disappoint you. The way
to handle any question is to the point,
| am not against the banks or any
business interest in this state. On

good of the state. 1t is the duty OF
every business man to be a patriot

and the table ratified under the i'm
pact of blow of emphasis. 1.-THE

about the present condition. Ihe
clerks in charge of the branch bank
are no part of the community They
take their pound of flesh and serve
their nonresident masters. The sit
uation ought to be that the bankers
would be leading citizens, that the
people of a community would be
sorry instead of glad when banker
dies. am sorry that the vital ques
ton of interest and the rights of the
people arose in my administration
but am not going to shirk my duty
There are too many banks in OK

real banks. Many are just pawn
shops. expect | own as much bank
stock as any man in the room, but

The governor invited the bankers
TO be about the legislature when 1t
convened and to counsel with the law
makers. He said he desires Their
TO assist in deciding what remedy
shall be made to apply to the condi
tion that confronts the state.
No applause broke the emphatic
continuity of the speech, which was
offhand and vigorous. At the close
there was a round of applauding and

ment were heard as the governor left

CATTLE FEEDING
II II wm. II (. II II II II :. {. It II Il

Washington, Dec. 16.-Reports re-
ceived by the United States depart
ment of agriculture indicate that
significant change is taking place IN
the management of cattle in what
is commonly known as the Panhandle
of Texas. For years this has been
one of the chief cattle raising sec
tions of the country. The ranchmen
have been steadily breeding up their
herds by the use of pure-bred bulls
and they have so improved the quar-
itv of their cattle that stock from
this section has been in considerable
demand for feeders. In the past II
has been customary to ship out the
cattle to be fed in the middle.west-
ern and the corn-belt states, but the
possibilities of profit in feeding these
cattle at home have now been dem
onstrated and ranchmen are no long
er contenting themselves with the
raising of cattle They are feeding
lntIll IOT lllf llldl h'l "''''
with the development of dry-land
agriculture, much of the Panhandle
which was formerly open range has
been taken up by small farmers. AS
a result great quantities of feed are
now being raised and many of the
ranchmen themselves have taken up
farming operations on the ranches.
This increase in the production OF
feedstuffs naturally led to increased
interest in the finishing of cattle FOR
the market. and the high prices that
fat cattle have brought in the last
few years stimulated this new inter
est. The ranchmen, however, were
inexperienced in cattle feeding ant
as a result. arrangements were mad'
for an agent of the United States
department of agriculture to cooper
ate with them in the solution OF th'
various problems that arose This
work was begun in the fall of 1918
and since that time has met witt
what is considered to be marked sue
cess.
The first undertaking was feeding
demonstration on a ranch near Anna
rillo to test out the value of feedln
steers in the dry lot on homegrown
feeds and cottonseed meal instead q
letting them run on the range an
selling them directly off grass. Fou
carloads of steers were used in TN
test. being purchased at IL cent
per pound on an average, or 81
per head. AT the end of the feedin
period the steers which had run o
grass with a small feed of cotto
seed cake. sold for Z cents poun
and made a net profit of ~ cent?
The steers that had been fed o
cotton seed meal. kaiir corn siiag
and sorghum. sold for IA cents pc

Following this demonstration muc
time was spent in encouraging rancl
men to put in pit silos and in II
structing them in the growing c
silage crops, the filling of silos, an
