VINO work for him are trying to live
a little life before they die. He knows
what 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
main question the industrial commits
sion will put in polite form to the
big stockyards man.
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 few
weeks ago.
Kennedy made this comment on
the situation today: "The commits
sion was appointed to inquire into
and find the causes of industrial un-
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"
The commission always asks mag
mates like Armour whether they be-
lieve labor unions are a good thing
and if not why not. 1t is 13 years
since the last strike in Packingtown.

union that tied up the yards, was last
heard of in Kansas City working as
a ditch digger.

and custody of their five-year-old
daughter, Cassie, today when she tes-
titled that the young member of the
millionaire Lehman family had
treate dher with extreme cruelty.
Mrs. Lehmann's description of the
language used by little Otto gave the
representatives of north shore soci-
ETY., who had gathered in Judge
Slusser's courtroom, talk thick
enough to fill our best little drawing
rooms for the next year.
Otto must have been an extremely
peevish cuss, according to Mrs. Leh-
mans testimony. At one time she
said he came to her with the unex-
pected announcement that he was
going to take her out to friends
house and from there they would.
have supper at Rector's.
They spent the evening at the
friends house all right, but that was
apparently all Otto was willing to
spend. When she playfully remind
ed him of the Rector promise she
says he clawed her face so badly that
she carried the marks for several
months.
On another occasion at Lake Vile,
she testified, they went out on
launch and when she tried to en-
brace him he handled her so rough
ly that she had visions of a spill in
the lake.
This is not Mrs. Cassie Lehmann's
first matrimonial exDerience with the
Lehmanns. At one time she was the
wife of Otto's brother, Ernie, but
after a very stormy period she was
forced to get a divorce. Society was
given something to gasp over when
it was announced that after her trou-
bles with Ernie she had turned to
Otto and had married him.
She married Otto in May, 1907, less
than a year after her divorce from

.ICHANCE STILL
A BIG PROBLEM
ritsin Believes Loan Best Way of
Solving Money Question.

London, Aug. 21.-Negotiations
are proceeding among leading finan-
cial and governmental authorities in
regard to the problem of American
exchange rates, but it is not expect
ed a definite announcement will be
made for some time unless the treas
ury should decide upon quick action.
The belief prevails that America
would prefer to take loan Of one,
two or five years duration, rather
than such huge quantity of gold
as Europe apparently is willing and
able to ship. Nearly $2T,5O0,000 al
ready has been sold from the Bank
of England since last Saturday and
opinion favors a loan or establish
ment of a credit as likely to cause
less disturbance in the money mar
ket and speculation in New York.
The market was less excited yes
terday. Cable transfers opened at
$4.6S and eased later to $4.67R ".
Buyers expected the rate to tiuctuate
until the pending question is final
ly settled.

A HUGE LOSS IN TONNAGE.

London, Aug. 21.-Fourteen
steamers, with a total gross tonnage
of 1858, have been sunk in the
last forty-eight hours by German
submarines. This toll, which estab-
fishes record for so short a period,
was more than twice as heavy as

known there has been no loss of life,
except in the sinking of the Arabic.
The recrudescence of submarine
activity began Aug. IL and in the
week ending Aug. IS the British ad-

vessels Of total tonnage Of 22,970
were sunk, eleven of them by under
water craft and two by mines. This
makes a total known loss of 70,66S

Berlin, Aug. 21.-The Overseas

1.-The assertion printed in foreign
newspapers that German submarines
carry no flag is officially declared an
error. The underwater craft, it is
stated, hoist battle flag during the
commission of every warlike act
above water. For military reasons,
submarines are not numbered. The
government has received regularly
full official reports about submarine
activity, these to serve as a basis on
which to adjudicate damage claims

Arthur Lumley, Aged 10, is Charg-

Degree.
ARE WANTED BY POLICE
Blood Stained Rock Found After
Fire Leads to Youths
Arrest.
ARE WANTED BY POLICE

Boone, Ia, Aug. 21.-Friday
morning about 9 o'clock small but
tragic fire took place at the home of
Thomas J. Smalley, just north of the
Boone Driving park. There was no
telephone in the house and before
the fire department could be called
r. J. Smalley, a man about 76 years
Of age, was burned severely.
When the fire department arrived
they found the aged man dead in his
bed with severe marks about his face
and body as though there had been
a struggle.
A man answering to the name of
Arthur Lumley, a Des Moines
youth about IS years of age, was the
first to notice the fire. His room was
just across the hall from Mr.. Small
ley, and he saw the blaze through
the open transom of the other room,
according to his story to the coron-
er's jury. He said that Mr.. Smalley
told him to go for Will Smalley and
also to call the fire department. Lum-
ley ran to- the garage, took the car
and rushed to the home of Will
Smalley, where ne could telephone
for help. 1t was but the work of
minute to put out the fire.
Mr.. Smalley was found on the
floor of his room, where he had evil
IDENTIFY fallen in trying to escape the
blaze. His whole body was badly
burned
After the coroners jury had rem
dered their decision that the man
came to his death through suffoca-
ton, evidence in the form of a large
rock on which there was blood, and
hair, and also pocket book in which
there was little over $50, was
found near the home. The blood on
the stone was little more than dry
and there was strong odor of kerr
osene in the room, where the affair
took place.
Arthur Lumley was Immediately
placed under arrest by County At
torney Frank Canoe. Another man
who was with Lumley at the Small
ley home, also from Des Moines, has
also been arrested, but so far moth
! ing has been found against him.
Smalley was one of the wealthiest
| farmers in Boone county, and lived
alone on his farm just short dis
lance from Boone. The authorities
here can figure out no reason for the
alleged crime as there was at the
time very little money in the house.

Few, II any, discoveries in the world
of agriculture and stock growing
have been as important and far
reaching in effect as the perfection
of the silo. Its influence has been lit
tie short of revolutionary in upsetting
and eliminating ancient methods in
farming and handling OF stock. The
silo idea is not so essentially new by
any means. Its advantageous fea-
lures were advocated a good many
years ago, but the farming world,
apparently hailed from Missouri, and
vast deal of showing" in the way
of demonstration work was necessary
to establish its claims. Not much
real Roadway was made in exploiting
silo work in this part Of the country
until prosperity appeared on the
scene in the late nineties, following
a period of the most woeful business
depression. Land prices began to
soar to unbelievable heights. Land
owners sat up and began to use their
pencils. They were UP against new
propositions. The man farming land
worth $50 or more an acre realized
that he would have to run things in
a different way to dig out even a rea-
sonable percentage of profit on his
investment It was altogether differ
ent from farming forty dollar land. It
was the golden opportunity for the
silo enthusiast, and you may believe
