|HENEY INTRODUCES ESMORE LETTERS
IN PACKING HOUSE INVESTIGATION
Examination of Witnesses Designed
to Show Illegal Fixing of
Prices Paid Producers

Company of Omaha, showing that 9
per cent was paid in 1889 and variant
dividends each year up to 1897 when
the annual dividend was 6 per cent
until 1916 when it was 8 and the
same last year. He also read into
the record statement to show that
while the actual cash invested In the
yards does not exceed s750,0OO, the
capital stock outstanding exceeds ST..
100000, more than $5,500,000 OF this
sum having been given out in stock
dividends to various packing firms
in the form of bonus without cash
payment
In reference to the earnings on
this stock, Heney read statement
by Nelson M. Barrett. special agent
OF the Federal Trade Commission, as
follows:
THE complaint of Nebraska is that
these earnings were wrung from
shippers in both good and bad yards
by unjustifiably large charges for
yardage and feed. These large earn
ings have made 1t possible to give
away valuable real estate to the
packers, build plants for them; give
them large blocks of stock for moth
ing; give millions Of dollars in new
stock as dividend and yet all this
time pay dividends and bond interest
regularly
Heney then read a letter dated
Chicago, December 29, 1915. to G.
F. Swift, Jr., and signed IL. F. g."
in part as follows:
please see to it that st. Joseph
has big outlet for hogs. 1t looks
as if they we're headed that way
and / don't want to stop them. In
other words, am not anxious to help
Morris with the Kansas City stock
yards earnings of which he gets 100
per cent to the detriment of the st.
Joseph stockyards earnings of which
we get so per cent"
Another letter to M. R. Murphy
from A. A. Cudahy and dated Novem-
Der 8, 1912, in part follows:
There isn't any doubt but what
Swift, Armour and Morris have made
some deal with the Kansas City
stockyards company. AS nearly as
can find out they have taken 1t
over on per cent basis. Now
they are in possession of all the
yards except Wichita"
The last witnesses heard during
the day were ]. F. Coad, president
of the Packers National Bank, and
L. NJ. Lord, president of the Live
stock National Bank
The two witnesses testified that
Morris interests were connected with
the Livestock National and that
Cudahy and Armour interests were
connected with the Stockyards Ma
tional Bank. All three banks do a
heavy business with cattle producers.
The hearings viii be resumed In
Omaha tomorrow and will be taken
up again at Kansas City Thursday.

THE SPLENDID PURPOSE or THE
RED CROSS DRIVE.

The purpose back of the Red Cross
drive for national fund of $l00O00,000
is so good, so noble and so practical as
to call forth general support from prac'
tically everyone in the United States,
and nearly everyone in the United States
will be willing TO contribute liberal
amount for the cause. When we read of
the splendid performances done by the
war work depart ment of this organiza-
tion we would be callous indeed were we
not TO respond with our dollars to the
full extent of our ability. The call upon
Vermont is moderate enough in the pres
ent drive, which extends from May 20 to
May 81; and the amounts apportioned
to each city and town are so low that
the states quota should be subscribed
during the week allotted for the work.
The smaller towns are called upon for
only few hundred dollars and the larg.
er towns and the cities are asked to sub
scribe only few thousands of dollars.
With each and every community in Yer
mont having one or more boys now in
the service of the United States and with
each one of those boys likely to benefit
from our contributions, or to suffer if
the full amount is not subscribed, there
should be no slackerism in the response
to the appeal of this great organization,
which has the full backing of the United
States government as well as the govern
ments of our allies. Let all the commu
mites of the state get energetically to
work at once and by personal solicitation
give everyone in town the opportunity TO
make their donations. In the towns
where the war chest idea is in vogue or
is about to be started there must, of
course, be a response fully equal to the
lpportionment set out for those towns

FRENCH WOMEN BRAVE.
Bid Gay Farewell to Loved Ones and
When Train Is Gone They Weep.

An interesting sidelight on the bravery
of the French women in France during
the terrible scenes being enacted is af-
forded in letter to r. d. Carpenter of
the fire station through a letter from his
father, o. II. Carpenter of Seattle, Wash,
enclosing parts Of a letter from Lieu
tenant French of Seattle, who is in
France. The letter states:
"The French women do many fine
things and practically all that the SOL
diers did when there was peace. Here il
one thing which the women do that
think is fine. When they see their men
90 of on a train they laugh and shout
gay good Dyes and are as cheerful as
anything until the train is out OF sight
Then they break down and sob and cry

Writing Of other conditions, Lieuten-
ant French says: II never have dollar
here-you Just can't keep it. Your pay,
and everything else you have goes to
help those who are in distress and
hungry and cold. Charitable organiza-
tions are fine and no doubt that is the
best way to distribute charity; but when
YOU see people who are really dying of
hunger and who have on not enough
clothes to wad shotgun you don't
wait to refer them TO some charity bu

Toning Down Submarine Claims.

1t gives a curious sensation, and one
full of hope and encouragement, TO look

cisige.
The change is not confined 10 the al
lied camp. 1t appears, with almost dra-
matte force, in the altered tone in which
the German government itself now
speaks of the U.boat adventure. Admiral
van Capelle tells the Reichstag that 'un-
restricted u.boat warfare meant a very
strong naval offensive against the en-
tente."
Contrast this, and the subsequent ar
guments of the German minister of
navy, with the fanfares with which the
