JOHN BREuSS DISAP.
PEARS MYSTER|0USLY

What has become of one, John
Breuss, late of Silt where he owned a
little ranch to the improvement of
which he had given much thought and
attention during recent years? This
is a question which no one has as yet
been able to answer.
Br. Breuss had quite number of
hogs on his ranch and about November
10 he bargained with Will Hawley for
made as soon as Mr.. Hawley was ready
to take the animals. He also sold mis-
ranch to Ross Garrett who was placed
in temporary charge of the place while
Breuss came to Glenwood to execute n
conveyance to the property
November II Mr.. Breuss came to
Glenwod and spent the night at the
hotel of Henry Bosco, with whom he
has been well acquainted for many
years. The next day, or November l2,
Mr.. Breuss visited the office of Attor-
ney c. w. Taylor and had Mr.. Taylor
draw up the deed of conveyance by
which he was to transfer the ranch
property to Garrett. Breuss signed and
acknowledged this deed, put the instru-
ment in his pocket and walked out
and this is the last trace of him that
can be found.
AS Mr.. Breuss failed to return to his
home, some of the neighbors became
apprehensive and finally reported the
matter to Sheriff Fravert who has
made every possible effort to locate the
missing man. Mr.. Fravert made trip
to Silt and made many inquiries con.
cerning the missing man. He found
that he has cash account in the New
Castle State bank, having drawn but
few dollars for the expenses Of the
trip to Glenwood. He traced the man
to Glenwood and to Mr.. Taylor s office,
since when not the slightest trace of
him can be found.
Mr.. Breusse was unmarried and, 10
far as can be learned, had no relatives.
He had lived rather a secluded life,
attending strictly to the matter of con-
ducting his little ranch. He was per-
haps just trifle odd and yet his sanity
has not been questioned.
And now the question is, what has
become of him? Did he become morose
and commit suicide or did the news Of

PRESIDENT IS CRITICISED

Washington, Dec. 3.-President Will
IS trip to Europe was the subject Of
debate in the senate today between
Senators Sherman of Illinois, Republi.
can, and Williams of Mississippi, Demo
crat.
In introducing a resolution to declare
the president s office vacant upon Mr.
Wilson s departure for Europe and To
provide for the succession of Vice Pres
ident Marshall, Senator Sherman Sc
verely criticised the president for his
decision to attend the peace confer
ence. He declared the trip to be un-
justified, and said it constitutes ga
grave menace and might cause Gin
sidious mischief. Senator Williams
warmly defended the presidents s course
and suggested that the purpose of the
president s critics was to make polit-
zeal capital out of his voyage abroad.
While this eolloquy was proceeding
in the senate, Representative Mann.
Republican leader of the house, issued
a statement declaring that factional
strife should not be permitted to inter
fere with the president mission. The
disposition of Senator sherman 5 reso-
ltuion went over under the rules.
Postponement, until after the peace
conference of all questions regard in O
the forming of League of nations and
any sweeping changes in the an
cient international laws of freedom of
the seas wa proposed today in reso-
luton introduced by Senator p. G.
Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania, for
secretary of state.

Dissatisfaction With Wilson's
Reticence on Peace Plans
Cabinet Superannuated
AuTocRATs MUST GO
By David Lawrence

! Copyright, 1918, by N. Y. Evening
Post, lnc.)
Washington, Nov. 25.-President
Wilson is himself so strong an advo-
cate of frankness in public business
and politics that he will not mistake the
sincerity of purpose and disinterested-
| ness of his many friends who believe that
he Is face to face with crisis in his
own careers both as the leader of the
Democratic party and the representa-
| tive of America at the peace confer
ence.
Briefly, there is dissatisfaction and
discomfort inside the Democratic party
of which the public has hitherto had
no hint, but which, if left uncorrected
by the president himself, will mean
that as he goes to Europe he will leave
behind detected and depressed fol-
lowing whose enthusiasm for him Will
have been seriously diminished.
Men who are not offieeholders but
unselfish friends of the president are
grieved and disappointed. They are
not Republicans, they are not his po-
litical foes, but they are the men who
helped elect him in 1912 and in 1915,
and they are talking earnestly among
themselves about what can be done to
make the president see that he must
clean house, that he must reorganize
his entire cabinet and that he must.
indeed, reOrganize the Democratic par
ty in congress so that he will have ad-
visers in the executive branch of the
government and leaders in the legisla-
tive branch who are in sympathy with
the true wishes and spirit of the Amer
lean people.
After talking with dozens Of these
men, the names of any one of whom, *
published, would carry the conviction
that they are seeking only things which
will help and not hurt the president,
one gets consensus of opinion which
is unmistakable. Here and there are
| suggestions of method which differ,
here and there are different degrees Of
dissatisfaction, but, categOrically, these
are some of the mistakes which the
president himself is declared to have
made or to be making today:

YOUTHFUL ACVEN-
TURERS NkDBED

With desire to see the world 10
dime novel route Frank Cussack and
Edward Gardner, a couple of youths
about sixteen years Of age, set out
from their homes in Colorado Springs,
bound for Spokane, it being their in
tcntion, according to their story, to go
from there into the far northwest, per-
haps into the Hudson Bay country, in
search of big game.
Before leaving their homes they had
shipped their guns and other hunting
accoutrements to Spokane, and many
were their dreams of the fine times
ahead as they purchased tickets and
seated themselves on the cushions Of
Rio Grande No. 3 Wednesday evening.
The parents of the young men reported
their flight to Chief Of Police Harper,
who wired Sheriff Fravert to appre-
hcnd them here. This was done and
after spending day in the sheriff .
office reading the latest magazines the
young men started on their hOmeward
journey Thursday evening, accompanied
by Undersherih Love who delivered
them into the keeping Of their anxious
parents
The youngsters were quite crest fall

dreams of wild life and adventure haA

SPECIAL BAND and CUISINE

Washington, Dec. 3.-President Will
son began tonight his trip to Europe
left Washington on a special train for
New York where tomorrow he and his
party will board the transport George
Washington for the voyage across the
Atlantic. No announcement has been
made of the president itinerary, but
it is understood the George Washington
will steam from New York some time
tomorrow.
About seven days will be required
for the trip. The ship will dock at Il
French port, presumably Brest, and the
president does not expect to be abroad
more than six weeks, allowing a month
on European soil.
Before the peace conference he will
confer with Premier Lloyd George,
President Clemenceau, Premier Orlando
and probably with King Albert He
plans TO visit England and Italy and
may go to Brussels. He also intends
to make a pilgrimage to some of the
battlefields of France. Secretary Tu-
multy accompanied the president to
New York, but will return to Washing
ton tomorrow to conduct the business
at the White House.
New York, Dec. 3.-Striking evidence
of the preparedness of the American
government to enter into peace nego-
tiations was given into the announce.

Therefore, both must support the mark
ct alike.
''lt is obvious,'' the report contin-
ued, "that the livestock pool is not
only an automatic regulator of the bus-
mess of each company, but also secures
substantial uniformity of prices With
each packer purchasing only certain
percentage on the hoof, each is bound
to nave relatively the same proportion
of meat for sale. Thus the ompct-
tive chance that any one of the pack
ers will flood the market is eliminated
The livestock pool, therefore, is an eff
fective method of accomplishing al
most the same results of the Veeder
pool system so far as the sale a:
dressed meats is concerned
The commission also declared there Is
proof that "the big packers take al
vantage of livestock purchasers and
sellers" and added "The shipper who

Regarding the alleged packers com
bination regulating the sale of meat
products in this country, the report
said:
Their present agreement as to the
! division of livestock purchases result
in limiting the amount of dressed
meats each will have for sale in pro
portion approximately to the percent
age of live animals purchased under
agreement. By regular inspection OF
one another's branch houses stocks,
they are enabled to prevent an over
supply of fresh meat in any market
By their exchange of information as to
the different markets they are able to
keep their average prices so uniform
that practically every retail butcher ex-
amined on this point by the agents Of
the commission stated that for the
same kind and grade of meat there is
no perceptible difference in the prices
charged by the different big packers
The exceptions are cases where a rota.
tion in price cutting is practiced in or
der to drive an Independent out of the
market.'
The five concerns, it is charged, not
only make agreements with small pack
ers as to the prices to be charged for
meats, but they also act together to
drive out of business independent CON

are only three things which control
prices, the laws of supply and demand,
and the food administration.
These charges are not so,' said II.
A. Timmins of Morris & Co. "We are
not doing that kind of business ana

The principal conclusion to be drawn
from this mass of evidence relating to
combinations among the packers, the
report says, are:
That Swift 4 Co., Armour & Co..
Morris & Co., Wilson Co., Inc, and the
Cudahy Packing company are in an
agreement for the division of livestock
purchases throughout the United States,
according to certain fixed percentage, j.
That this national livestock division

The Influenza
SITUATION HERE
THE INFLUENZA STATUS

The flu situation in Glenwood is
considerably improved of late, the
emergency hospital having been dis
carded and very few new cases making
their appearance. The report showed
six cases Wednesday, six Thursday and
one Friday, but of these, four were
brought down here from Redstone in
Pitkin county. These cases do not be
long to Glenwood and should not have
been brought to this city. However, n
room was found for the four member
of one family and they are being given
proper care.
As to the matter of opening the
schools, the local board will be gov
erned by the following advice from the
STATE Board of Health and the schools
will remain closed until December 30
or January 2, or perhaps longer, as con
ditions seem to warrant.
Denver, Dec. 4, 1918.
DR.. +. j. Horan,
Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Dear Doctor:
Replying to your letter of Dec.
End, relative to the opening of
schools, i am going to advise that
the schools remain closed until the
End of January. This may seem
unjust to some of the people of
your town, but ! am giving this
advice after having seen the re-
suits Of re-opening schools in some
of the other towns of the state.
Practically every town in the state
that has re-opened school have had
to close them again.
| believe that it is better to
have the schools remain closed until
after the holidays than to take
chance of opening them now and
have new outbreak of the cpl
demic.
Fraternally yours,
ERIC Z. KENNEDY,
Secretary, State Board of Health.

Report Charges Co|Iusion
Among Big Five"
DENIAL BY PACKERS

Washington, Dec. 2.-The federal
trade commission in supplemental re-
port the charges. Swift & Co., Armour
charged the five big meat packing COM
panies of the country with combina
tion in restraint of trade and with con
trolling the sale of livestock and fresh
meat.
Evidence is cited at length to sup
port the charges. Swift 4 Co., Armour
Il Co., Morris Il Co., Wilson K Co., Inc,
and the Cudahy Packing company are
named.
Chicago, Dec. 2.-Denials that the
packing companies named in the report
of the federal trade commission are
guilty of restraining trade or of con-
spiracy to control the prices of live
stock or fresh meats were made today
by officials of the accused concerns.
"These charges are as untrue as they
are unfair,' said j. Ogden Armour of
Armour l. Co. "This would be readily
demonstrated by any unbiased and i'm

The Glenwood schools will remain
closed until Monday, December 80.
This is the decision reached by the
board on the advice of the health au-

the board took into consideration the
unfavorable results of opening nUlRh-
