OKLAHOMA ELECTION CASES
ARE NOT DISMISSED

this week that the Department of
Justice had revoked its order of few
days ago for dismissal of the pending
cases in the Federal Court at Guth-
rie for violations of the law with re-
spect to the enforcement of the Okla
homa grandfather clause. After a
conference between members of the
Oklahoma delegation and officers OF
the Department it was agreed that
the cases would be continued for the
term. 1t is though that this action
OF the Department has been taken
on purely legal technical grounds, in
order that the Department may not
be placed in the position of stopping
prosecutions Of any offenses which
II as recognized as violations Of the
statutes; and that If there is to be
any relief. it must come at the hands
Of the President, should the defend
ants be convicted, as were TWO Of the

LIVE STOCK MARKET

Kansas city stock Yards, Jan. 25.
More good beef cattle are in today
than on any day this winter. although
the total supply Of cattle was moder-
ate at 10000 head. A few cattle sold
at $50 to $50, among them a drove
of steers that went out eight months
ago at a cost or 7.65, which we're at
that time called "fleshy feeders
string Of good Kansas fed steers
sold at S5 to S.15, which range may
define the limit on good heavy fed
steers. A few droves of cattle were
unsold at late hour, being held at
S.25 to S.75. Sales today we're slow
and most of them around 10 lower.
Butcher cattle find better outlet
than steers. but high costing cows
are slightly lower today; medium
cows and Gamers steady. Best cows
sell at 6.25 to 100; good heifers are
around 7.50; choice baby heifers up
to 800 Bulls sci at SIS to 6.25;
veal calves 900 to 1880. Stockers
and feeders are holding about steady
this week; tops selling around 7sO,
and the bulk of the stockers at $50
to $50, and feeders at 6.75 to 1875;
choice white face feeders up to 7.80.
Chicago reports a sluggish beef cat
tie market, and lower prices, with an
estimate Of $4,000 cattle for We'd
nesday, which means further weak
ness there. For the moment the beef
cattle trade is in rut, but distribu-

product in packing houses show a
more moderate accumulation than us

explain the buliish figures on stocks
of product, and also the strong ten

heavy marketing of hogs of indiffer-
