LANSING, Mich, Aug. 2.-'Tike

James II. Thompson had thought he

boosted about it."
This was the counter attack OF
E. c. Shields. attorney for Thomp-
son. In his closing plea against pos
sIble disbarment OF his client. In
Judge wiests court Tuesday morn
ing, TO the declaration by ". s.
Foster, OF the prosecution. who in

TO deceive this court"
Neither Judge James o. Murfn.
who opened the argument for the
defense Of Mr.. Thompson, nor At
torney Shields were sparing In
their criticism OF Mr.. Thompson
methods of handling the inheritance
tar cases. but they directed their
criticisms to bis lack OF grasp OF
the legal matters and disciaimed in
strong declarations any intent OF
fraud.
The prosecuting attorneys had
offered TO submit the matter 10 the
court without argument, but Mr..
Thompson's attorneys would not
consent
Tuesday morning, Judge West
asked that Mr.. Thompson again take
the witness stand. The courts ques-
tons developed answers 10 the ef.
feet that Mr.. Thompson little under
stood the exact status OF his posi-
ton as Michigan representative OF

answers became apparent when the
questions were asked In some In
stances as many As three times.

PACKING INDUSTRY
SHARPLY ATTACKED
Methods Criticized by Speakers at
Annual Session Of National Confer

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Anticipating an at

Il am here as a listener only" Mr.

The first attack came from Henry

cooperative cheese makers organi-
cation of that state.
The packers are constantly in
creasing their hold on the food situa-
ton said Mr.. krumrey Last SUM

public is bad
r. L. Burke, a live stock man OF

| A series of informal hearings were
held here today in connection with the

sportsman of New York. who was seri-
Dusty injured yesterday while riding in

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Hog values today
continued to Climb, influenced by the
scarcity of arrivals as compared with
last week.
Adversely has no permanent abiding
place in the hog market. Last week
what appeared to b an effective Dear
raid resulted in a half dollar deprecia-
ton. Hogs We're going to ~ basis
said the croakers, but nothing OF the
kind has happened. On decent run
tins week higher prices We're PAID ana
IN three days all that was taken OH iast
week has been replaced.
The hog market, like eternal truth
can not be held down. Hogs are cut
ting, at profit, packers need material ~
fill contracts, and must have hogs TO uo
il. Shippers are in the trade and II is
eyerybody's secret that the stun IS
worth the money it is costing.
Eleven markets received l56,O0O hogs
Tuesday, or 41,200 less than last tues
day, 200 less than year ago and i9,ooV
more than two years ago. Total thus
far this week 325,00o, or $1,000 less

than like time last year and l54,oo'

Cattle.
Good grades of cattle were in de-
msnd but others were neglected.
All last week killing gangs were aple
to dispose of cattle as fast as they
reached the shambles. but this week
another accumulation has been Gre
ated, with a liberal run today clear
ance will not effected by the end OF the
week. ~ ..
The practice of filling the market
hopper at the opening session OF snow
week is adverse TO shippers interests
and should be discontinued. The ad-
vance last week was incentive to order
cars and was largely responsible IL
is a session ON which confusion always
exists and the safe side would be play
ed by holding stuff back.
New York has received no South
American beef for two weeks and the
few packages reaching that port are
going across the Atlantic. Argentina
last week loaded 62,6s9 quarters for
England and 1o1,905 quarters to the
Continent, most of this being for the
British and French armies None was
loaded for the United, States.
Sheep.
Slackening of call was noticeable IN
regard to sheep and lambs.
A feature Of the. trade was the sale
of two loads of prime natives from Wis
consin to a city butcher at s13. which
surpassed the old record for natives by
80 cents and stood a dime above the old
Colorado record made in May. These
lambs belonged to j. S. Peters, OF Blue
River. ana Grant Ross. of Richland
Center. Others in this division OF
choice quality sold early at s12.65 and
choice kind was held around s12.75'
while many OF the offerings were Of a
