F. Stryker Of the Live Stock exchange
was reelected at the annual meeting
yesterday afternoon. Gene Melady,
treasurer, was also reelected. The
meeting lasted the greater part OF the
afternoon and adjourned before all
business was completed.
President Tagg OF the Exchange an
nounced that committees, intended to
be appointed at the meeting, would not
be made known until another meeting
is held. The reading OF reports by
secretaries OF various committees oc-
cupied the greater part Of the time.
New Armour Killing Floor.
The finest and perhaps the best
equipped sheep killing floor in the
entire country is receiving finishing
touches at the Armour plant. The
work on the new addition to the plant
which has been under the course OF
construction for several months is
now practically finished and the floor
usC.
The room is designed and equipped
to eliminate congestion. 1t Is is es-
timated that about $500 sheep can
be handled in day OF ten hours. Such
q capacity passes that of the sheep
killing department at the big Armour
plant in Chicago, which is considered
the largest in the world. The local
plant has been equipped with new
steel and concrete hog and cattle kill
ing floors, which cost in the neighbour
hood Of 100000
The triple killing floors are now
absolutely sanitary.
The sheep kill will be placed in
operation very soon. There is no
pressing need for abandonment Of the
old.
Pugitives with Federal Authorities.
immigration authorities took over
responsibility for the arrest of Helen
Knezovich and Joe Miller, young
Canadians arrested yesterday, fugi-
tivcs from justice for violation of the
Mann act. The case will be investi-
gated.
Detectives Alien and Zaloudek were
responsible for the arrest OF the girl,
while, through clever bit of STRAIT
egy, Captain Briggs effected the de-
tention Of Miller when the latter at
tempted to hide from the police.
Sympathy is with the young woman
and should her story prove true re-
garding Canadian laws in reference
to marriage and divorce there is a
possibility that United States author
tiles will allow them to be returned to
Canada, where they may marry. The
law will take its course as long as
they are in this country, police assert
