Samuel Gompers' chief friend and pal
 in this administration, Postmaster
 General Burleson, has amassed his
 fortune by the use of convict labor on
 his Texas plantation. Mir. Burleson
 employs convicts to the exclusion of
 free labor, giving the State 60 per cent
 of the products and retaining 40 per
 cent for himself. Senator Sherman
 suggests that organized labor cannot approve of the intimacy between Mir.
 Gompers and Mir. Burleson under these circumstances. He does not know if Mir. Gompers is aware of how his pal, Burleson, has amassed his wealth and he is convinced that or ganized labor generally is unaware of the facts; therefore he has spread up on the Congressional Record the court records of the trial for murder of a convict of one of Burleson's over seers who had horsewhipped the un- fortunate convict until he died. The oversccr was acquitted on the ground that all the evidence against him came from the fellow convicts of his victim. And Burleson has since ap- pointed him postmaster of Longview, Texas. Declaring that "evcry intelli- gent community in the world and every decent citizen in this country IS opposed to convict labor" Mir. Shcr- man said he felt it his duty, inasmuch as Mir. Burleson is partner of MT. Gompers in his political activities ito expose the facts"

After the case had been fought out in the Federal court all day, Jesus Torres was yesterday found guilty of larceny by the jury which had heard the trial Torres pleaded not guilty to having broken into a box car at Flagstaff and stolen between 60 or 70 shirts He claimed that he had noth- ing to do with the robbery and was not near the car at the time it was entered, but his defense was contra dicted by several witnesses for the government.

 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS Sept. ll.-About onc-half a normal supply of cattle came in last week, be cause of railroad service disarrangc- mcnt in apprehension of the threat encd strike, and there was an ad- vance of g cents on killing cattle, and 25 to 8 cents on stockers an1 feeders, first of the week. Killing grades lost their advance, but stock CTS and feeders held most of theirs. The supply today is 30,0OO cattle, market steady to 15 lower, the best grades selling about steady. About 200 cars from the Panhandle and New Mexico were included, containing good ycarlings and twos at S.3O to SS. COWS at S5.25 to S625, veals up to S1O. stock calves S7 10 SS, fat heifcrs up to &50. Colorado sent good run, including Q string of Moore 6i Wolf feeders from Cimarron, 1,OSo pounds at S. 40, and some plain killers at S6.4O. The yards were full of coun- try buyers, who paid up to SS.25 for fcshy feeders.
 Sheep and lamb receipts were 9,5OO head, mostly from Utah, Arizona and Colorado. The top price was 10 low CT than close of last week, at Sl0N, but flceces were wet today. Other Utah lambs, beside the top lambs, sold at S1O75 and S10S5, Colorado lambs brought the top, 5000, and Arizonas brought Sl035. As usual. sorts were light, but there was q strong demand for the feeders thrown out. S1O.35 being the common price for the Utahs, and S1O for the Ari- zonas. Fat ewes sold at S7, wethcrs from Utah weighing up 10 l4O pounds at S7.65, and ycarlings SS,l0. Demand for breeding stock is heavy, sales to- day s to SS50, and feeding ewes at S575. Prospects here look good for the shccpmcn from every angle.
 Hogs sold steady 10 order buyers, who bought a good many light hogs at SlOS5 to S1I05, and medium weights up tc S11. Packers stopped at S1OS5 for all weights. their puT- chascs about 10 lower, bulk of sales Sl0.5O 10 S1095. Top price at other Missouri River markets today iS 5000, the strong demand from order buyers, on top of the packer demand, running the price here up.

The Wars Greatest Crimes.

As long ago as when they were putting Bel
gium to the sword and torch the Germans adopt
ed as a measure the murder Of sleeping
women and children by bombs dropped from the
sky; and the civilized world, when proof had
overcome its incredulity turned sick with horror.
Attacks by Zeppelins upon the inhabitants OF
defenseless towns in Belgium, France and Eng
land became much a method Of warfare as
attacks on women and children on the high seas.
Apologists for Germany said: ut is dreadful,
but it is war;" or "Germany's enemies would do
the same if they could" For many months the
allies refraned from any attempt at reprisal for
the atrocities which the foe continued to COM
init; then they adopted policy of retaliating
swiftly with aerial attacks, confined at first to
fortified towns, though to demonstrate to
Germany and the neutral nations that they were
restrained not by lack Of equipment, but by re-
gard for the principles of humanity. But to Ger
many no lesson conveyed, and at last comes
the that the French have taken terrible
revenge. On June p Paris official communi-
cation announced that in reprsal for successive
bombardments carried out by the Germans on
the open towns of Barbecue and Luneville,
French aerial squadrons had bombarded Treves
and Karlsruhe. The awful results are made
known in a dispatch from Berlin which states
that ITO persons, including 5 women and Is
including 20 women and 70 children.
Were the Germans willing to pursue savage
methods only so long as they were one-sided; so
long as their enemies confined their operations
to the methods of civilized warfare? Or will
their savagery continue when it is met with saw
agery? The world, deploring the dreadful ne
cesslty that impelled the French, will pray that
the awful lesson will be effective and that the
hideous warfare that began in Belgium and made
sleeping women and children its victims will be
brought to an end. Two years ago no one could
have been found to believe that the Twentieth
century would record such diaboical deeds
Today world filled with horrors and dead
ened to the shock witnesses their preparation
by peoples representing its most advanced prog
ress.
The deciding hour seems to have arrived The
blow dealt at Karlsruhe may bring Germany to
her senses or it may drive her to further mad
ness, in which latter event, who can foresee to
what revolving lengths reprisals may lead, and
all without appreciable effect upon the progress
or the outcome of the war? Neutral govern
nents cannot bring the war to an end; thew NAV
not even, with propriety or safety, make the at
