Gary Strikes Out at
Investigating Bodies;
Biased, Incompetent

PITTSBURGH, Feb. N-Declaring that
investigators often are not only incompo-
tent hut are preJudiced and as a result
wilfully reverse many pertinent and ma
terial facts. f. II. Gary. chairman OF the
United states Steel corporation tonight
spoke on Underestimate Criticism" at
tho alumni banquet of the University OF
Pittsburgh.
Judge Gary said in part:
The ordinary reader OF the daily press
seldom overlooks or negiects to read un..
favorable criticisms. And SO there IL a
class OF men. who for selfish reasons, take
advantage of that peculiar trait OF hu-
man nature to discover IN one way or
another something that may be prejudl-
cial to cause, a community or a ma
ton In order 10 have II published or I'm
some way spread broadcast for the deiec-
tation Of those who may be entertained by
reading II. These efforts sometimes take
the form OF individual work, investiga
lions by committees or commissions
created by legislators or congresses, or in
exceptional cases, even by judicial
branches OF government. such as grand
jurles. with their inquisitorial power
oftentimes the investigators are not only
utterly Incompetent but they are preju-
diced and wilfully reverse many OF the
pertinent and material facts.
This Is without question an epoch Of
indlscriminete criticism. Much is 4ustt-
fled; probably more is without warran,
In the last decade there has been morn
abuse, more SANDER. more personal At.
tack and more demagoRy and as a conse-
quence. more injury to the general pub-
lice. than ever before"

NOT READY TO JOIN COUNCIL
Board of Education Members Have

eminent will not cooperate with the city

ton
AZ meeting yesterday afternoon the
boards Joint committee decided that II
would be "inexpedient" at this time for
the Board Of Education to become iden-
titled with the program as outlined = the
ordinance under which the new recrea-
ton board will operate.
The committee meeting was executive,
and the vote was not announced. but II
IL understood that strong majority OF
the committee decided not to cooperate.
hoard Is Divided
THIS matter WAS discussed vigorously
by the Board Of Education members at
recent meeting. II IL believed that the
report Of the iolnt committee when sub
mlttcd next Monday evening at tho reg
uiar meeting OF the board. will precipi-
tate another discussion. The whole board
Is divided on this subject. The chief
objections Of members against tho new
recreation board Is that the policies
accord with the school policies OF reerea-
ton. Besides, the school board members
wish to carry out their recreation pro-
gram In their own way.
THE recreation board ordinance IL too
broad in It's terms" was a statement
made by one OF the members OF the
Joint committee yesterday.
BOARD Has the option.
In the event the Board OF Education
sustalns the action OF It's Joint committee.
then II will be necessary for the city
council to revise the ordinance by elm
mating that portion referring to the
school authorities. A section of the ordi-
nance gave tho board the option OF join
ing this new recreation movement and
permitting the school officials to name
the superintendent of schools or some
other person to represent the school plant
on tho recreation board. The ordinance
also makes the mayor and superintendent
Of parks members Of the new recreation
board, the three members mentioned TO
/ name two other members.
The mayor has deferred calling a meet
Ing Of the new board until such time as
the Board Of Education should oct on
the matter.

prospects for the local trade were not
very good. Under the Influence of a
good killing demand, however. packers
first offers were only a pinch easier, and
It was hardly any time before some hogs
were moving at steady figures. Even
ON this basis sellers did not cash their
offerings soon enough to suit the buyers,
with the result that good share OF the
Iofferings was sold at figures that were

The close was the best time, and a few
of the late sales looked a nickel higher.

Grain Prices Are
Up a Little, With
Receipts Light

Although It was the usual short session
that is the rule for Saturday, the Omaha
grain market braced up and recovered
a portion Of the loss Of Friday. Wheat
was active and much stronger, selling at
81 IA to S1.45. as against 1913 to H.2h
Friday. What was true with wheat was
also true with corn. prices being Go 10
661e cents, as against co to g. cents per
bushel Friday.
Receipts were light even for Saturday,
there being seven cars of wheat. twelve
of corn and fourteen of oats on sale.
1t is conceded that country stocks Of
everything except corn are running low,
but It is the opinion that the bad roads
are having much to do In holding down
the daily receipts.

MAY AND JULY FUTURES SELL

OMAHA, Feb. q. 1915
The cables announcing the reduction OF
the defending entrance TO the Darda-
nelles, and which we're spread out before
the speculative world before the opening
OF the board Of trade caused heavy and
general liquidation, not only OF wheat,
but oats and corn as well. May wheat
sold off as much as 7%c under the close
OF Thursday. and some of this selling was
credited TO foreigners. On the weak spots

claimed to have been at the best prem

AS much as sc at one time this morn

bearish factor on wheat as that market

Corn, reacted from the bottom prices
reached and closed &c lower. After the
noon hour corn rallied 1i4Q1%c and this
was fully maintained.
Oats acted largely in sympathy Win
the other grains, and while prices closed
lower, there was an undercurrent OF
strength because of the export takings
at the sesboard Of 10000 bu.' which in
cuded $4,000 bu. at Chicago.
The conspicuous feature in the pro
vision market was the heavy liquidation
by longs IN pork and ribs. These products
were absorbed by shorts, and It is be

Sikh National Weapon.

The Sikhs can certainly claim to
possess the most unique form of weap-
on of any military unit in the cam
paign. This is a hand-throwing mis-
sile, composed of metal similar in
shape to the discus with which We
have been made familiar in Roman
history. Its edge is sharpened like a
razor, and the weapon, when thrown
with a peculiar circular motion. has
extraordinary penetrating power. It
cuts Ike a knife through paper when
1t strikes any object in its path. AT
a distance of a hundred yards the disk
is capable of cutting its way through
piece of hard wood two inches thick
1t is the peculiar twist given to the
weapon when it is thrown which
causes the cutting edge to bury itself
sc remorselessly in anything that il
meets. 1t is doubtful whether any
but the Sikhs could effectively use
this unique weapon.
