GRACE MORTON KEEPS IN THE
SPOTLIGHT-AUTO CRASH

Milwaukee, Wis, June II. - Grace
Morton, heroine of white slave case
in which was involved the perjury
charge on which Charles w. Capper,
Milwaukee and Chicago halter, was
acquitted Wednesday, has provided a
new sensation. According to her own
statement, she drove an automobile
containing another woman and three
prominent men into a ditch on the
Blue Mound road, seriously injuring
herself and slightly wounding the
others.
Miss Morton called up all the news
paper offices this morning and de-
Scribed the accident. Then she sub
mitted to an operation at her home
for internal injuries she is said to
have received. She is closely guard
ed by nurses and attendants and
every attempt to see her has been
frustrated. A man who refused to
give his name called up the news
paper offices, pleaded that because of
his connection he couldn't afford to
have the thing made public and asked
that the automobile accident be kept
out Of print.

TELLS OF THE WORKINGS OF
THE ABORTION RING"


Details ofan abortion ring which
performs most of Chicago's criminal
operations were given out at the
meeting of the subcommittee on
health. DR.. Rudolph Holmes, chair
man of the Chicago Medical society
criminal abortion committee, told of
the workings of the trust"
Members of the organization,
which might well be called the mid
wives trust" are banded together for
self protection according to Holmes.
A few years ago they had the best
criminal attorney in the city and
opened their Offices in a loop sky
scraper.
Politicians rubbed elbows with the
officers of the trust, DR.. Holmes told
the committee, and protection was
furnished in many cases which came
before the police.
When a member of the trust was
arrested, bondsmen, attorneys and
influential politicians rushed to his
aid. Among the powerful clique con-
Victions we're few.
Agreeing that aDOruOnlSCS neId
great power in the city, the investi-
eating council committee cast about
for methods to Offset their opera
tons.
DR.. Holmes again came to the
front with declaration that the only
way to eliminate abortionists was to
found lying-in hospitals to care for
unfortunate girls.
DR.. Rob't A. Smith, another mem
Der of the medical society, expressed
an opinion that the cause and cure
for abortion was in the status given
an Legitimate child. Until this was
changed, he declared, girls would
seek out criminal abortions rather
than face the world in shame.

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 27.
1915. Weakness was the dominant
feature of the cattle market again
today, sales being uneven, and sales
men and buyers alike at sea regard
ing true values. Prime finished
steers have had to share recent de-
clines, although BUYERS are more
afraid of grassy stuff. Some top grade
Missouri steers steers sold at 50 Is
and So So today, and prime yearling
heifers reached SO. so. Cattle that
were selling at 5000 to $50 a week
or ten days now sell at S. so to So S5
and there is sprinkling of native
steers around SS.25. Quarantine cat
tie show the full loss, steers that
brought IS 60 to So. % two weeks ago
now selling at $50 to 1855. Middle
grades of quarantine steers bring
1915 to $3.50, and light grassers S5. 75
to $3.50 Cows and heifers are get
ting a severe cut this week, buyers
claiming that the condition of the
beef market demands lower costing
material. In contrast with the sagg-
ing tendency on beef grades, stockers
and feeders are selling strong. The
fall demand is developing, and sales
at S7.Qo to IS today were frequent,
but heavy feeders, at So. 25 to $500,
have lost their bloom. Some useful
Oklahoma and New Mexico stock
steers are selling at So 25 to S6. IS.
Cattle receipts are 1000 today, includ-
ing I29e in the Southern division,
following 10, TOO yesterday, a meder-
ate run, and one which should not
throw such a scare into buyers as
they have apparently received this
week, particularly as the season for
expansion of the supply has now ar
rived. Pfime cattle suffered a tenn
pory break this week last year, but
came back in hurry at that time.
The hog market dropped 10 to Is
cents to-day, receipts 5000 head.
Manipulation of the provisions mar
ket is responsible in a measure for the
break in prices this week, although
packers claim selling conditions in
hog product are very satisfactory.
However, they are said to be heavy
buyers of lard and ribs on every break
in the market, indicating that their
dislike af present conditions is part
ly assumed. Order buyers and pack
ers all bought hogs together today,
paying S7.10 to S7.45 for bulk of sales
one lot at S747 1-2.
Lambs jumped up 25 cents again
today, all decent spring lambs bring
ing IS. 25. Receipts of 1000 today in
cluded several shipments of Texas
goats, which sold at "a 60 to "a. 75, to
killers and also for the country.
A feature today was the sale of about
200 head of choice black face breed
ing ewes, % to lis lbs average, at
1925. Feeders and breeders promise
to give western stock a rousing recep-
tion when it starts to market early
next month.

As to the resolutions of Hamm 81
Newcomer which they didn't write
or frame, will say that they are a fine
Pair of Birds~to attempt to dictate
the policy and management of the le-
gal business of this county: they are
endowed with a surplus of egotistical
ignorance. There have been no cases
fled by me that should not have been
fled, and they have been filed, and
they have been prepared, filed and
managed so far as this county is con-
cerned as provided by statute, not
withstandiug, Ham & Newcomer to
the contrary, and the suggestion in
the resolution, that the sheriff be al
lowed to use his own judgment, is
equivalent to accusing the sheriff of
wanting to do some way other than
that provided by statutes; shows their
Ignorance. Ham g. Newcomer sim
ply signed this resolution to cover
and conceal their own dirty work and
rottenness in office.
Section 2S73, G. S.. 1909, provides
that county officers are prohibited
from taking any contract. or perform
done for their own profit-any work
over which they have in whole or in
part the supervision, direction or
control. Has this section been vio-
lated2 Let's see.
In the fore part of the year, 1913.
after Hamm & Newcomer had be-
come com missioners, Newcomer Sug-
gested that they could take contracts,
each, in his own commissioner dis
trict. There were two county bridges
to repair, one on the Saline, the
other on Trego creek. The Walker
Brothers offered to do this repairing;
one offered to repair one bridge for
the old lumber to be taken out, the
other offered to repair the other
bridge for $500, so that the repair
work on the two bridges should not
have exceeded SI5. 90, cost to the
comfy. At the April, 1913, meeting
Hamm received for this work. S25. 20.
Wnen the bill was presented | was
informed that it was for work done
before Hamm became commissioner,
but was told differently by S. 7. Lam
oreaux the following August. At
the July, 1913, meeting, Hamm re-
ceived 81. so, for viewing a bridge one
and a half days-an extra look.
At the regular January, 1914, meet
ing, when the board had been in ses-
sion five days, each com mmissioner i'll
ed his voucher for the five days at
tendance and mileage and each re-
ceived his warrant, Commissioner
McNaughton went home, but Hamm
g. Newcomer remained over Satur-
day the 10th, for which each the fol-
lowing week collected $500 Then
on Monday, January 18th, the COM
missioners were all present to organ
ize the new board and to transact
such legal business as might properly
come before it, but it didn't make
any difference with Hamm 81 New
conner, so they transacted some NOT

A FRIENDLY LETTER
MIR. EDITOR:

VI R EDIIOR-
No doubt, you have noticed Kline's
false, Shiny, rotton slurs in the Re
porter of April s, 1915. The article
| is short; Long was out OF the city at
! the time. He mentions the Camp
bell case; does he mean the one
Matched in the Kline building2 A
liquor case? Perhaps, the reason he
mentions this, is because he knows
so much about this class of cases. /
have been told that Kline could have
won the S25 90, Reward, 1 offered last
fall during the campaign, for infor-
nation that would lead to the con-
viction of any candidate or other
erson using Intoxicating Liquors to
further the interest of any candidate
for Office.
If Kline knows SO much about the
violations of the prohibitory law,
why doesn't he as owner, proprietor,
publisher, editor and dictator in
chief of the Reporter, tell about the
Booze and Beer sent to various places
In the county for campaign purp6ses2
Kline, also, might give through the
columns of his paper the amount
approximately Of liquor used in the
City campaign, and tell how many
voters were taken home drunk on
campaign liquor last spring just prior
to the City Election.
In Kline e's-Dream-Trance column of
April Is, 1915, you will please notice
that this would-be guide to facts is
as far from the truth as ever. He at
tempts to show what is required in
some professions and what is not in
others. For the benefit of the little
bunch of ignorance, will say, that my
Certificate from the Supreme Court
and my Teachers Certificate both
are of full force and effect today.
Then in the venomous column of rot
of May 9th, is the following false
hood: 1.-The jury found no cause for
action" Just notice how Kline and
his ''heelers" do prevaricate. The
fact, that the county will have a
