lotted and Percentages Of
Animals Fixed.

Tracing the ramifications Of the big
Five" packing Industries, Francis j.
Heney yesterday placed before the
Federal Trade Commission evidence
that the nations cattle business is
entirely in the grip Of the so-called
meat trust.
Through an elaborate rationing sys-
tenn, the evidence showed. the Swift.
Armour, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy
companies co-operated in the pur-
chase of livestock from the ranches.
Heney, after introducing q score OF
letters and kilograms in support OF
his contention, asked an adjournment
pending the examination of additional
documents taken from the files of the
packers, which will be presented to-
day.
Would Hang Lobbyists.
Senator William H. Thompson. Of
Kansas City. named in the corre-
spondence of the packers, exposed the
operations Of Washington lobbyists
many of them said to be retained by
the meat companies. They were
branded as liars. Commissioner Vic
tor Murdock said he favored hanging
them.
From confidential archives the Fed
eral investigator revealed the trade
understanding and purchasing affil-
ations of the Big Five"
1.-THE division OF purchasing cattle
was so evenly carried out that Of
10000 head shipped from Fort Worth
in 1915 there were only four animals
unaccounted for" Mr.. Heney said.
Everything here Is on a fifty-fifty
basis" Philip d. Armour wrote to his
uncle, ]. Ogden Armour, when In Dem
yer October 10. 1915.
Correspondence taken from the Of
fee of T. E. Wilson indicated that
free lancers" for a time operated in
the interests of the Sulzberger e Sons
Company in territory already allotted.
''As soon as the matter was taken
up with the sulzberger & Sons Com
pany they discontinued it," said a let
ter from Arthur Meeker, vice presi-
dent OF the Armour Company. to Will
son.
Percentages Are Fixed.
I'm 1917 the hog purchasing was d.
vided on a percentage basis. providing
36.0 for the Swift. 3O.S2 for the Ar
mour. 1917 for the Morris, 11.04 for
the Cudahy, and S.es for the Wilson
companies" Mr.. Heney said.
Cattle buying in 19l5-1916 was ap-
portioned 345s per cent for Swift, z
per cent for Armour, 1876 per cent for
Morris, 1894 per cent for Wilson, and
s.57 per cent for Cudahy," the govern
ment Investigator added.
Mr.. Heney declared that through
ownership OF stockyards and terminals
the packers prevented independent In
vasion of their business.

You Italian pigs, here we areI
We have outraged your women. We
have attacked your sisters"
This terrible message was shouted
by Austrian and German soldiers to
Italians confronting them in the
Chiesa Nuova sector January 1s. 1t
was followed by unspeakably filthy
abuse.
I didn't get this from a propaganda
bureau. I was allowed access to the
cables received by the Italian En-
bassy from its government. These
cables are not sent for publication,
but for the information of the Am
bassador. Items concerning Austro-
German atrocities were scattered
amid routine reports on political and
military happenings.
Shocking as Belgium.
BY going through the papers with
Signor +. Cuniberti, an attache, i
was enabled to extract a story of
outrage as vile and as shocking as
anything the Teutons have perpe-
trated in Belgium, Serbia, Poland
and France. 1t is the same routine
attacks upon women, enforced la
Dor by helpless civilians, senseless
destruction Of art Objects looting of
public and private houses.
A proclamation was issued at
Udine of which this is the gist:
"All workmen, women and children
over Is years old are obliged to
work in the fields every day. Sun
day included. from 4 a. m. to s p.
m. Rests of one half hour in the
morning. an hour and a half at
noon. and half an hour in the af-
ternoon are permitted. Disobedi-
ence will be punished in the fol-
lowing manner:
Lazy workmen will be accom-
panied to work and watched by Ger
man soldiers. After the harvest
they viii be imprisoned for six
months and every third day will be
given nothing but bread and water.
Lazy women will be 'exiled and
obliged to work, and after the harvest
receive six months imprisonment.
Lazy children will be punished by
flogging. The commandant reserves
the right to punish lazy workmen
with 20 lashes daily"

Never in the history of Mankato
was such a day of rejoicing as to-
day. From shortly before twelve
o'clock, when the first of the ending
of the great world war began CON-
ing over the wires people in the city
went wild with joy. Faces that had
been solemn for many months were
wreathed in smiles, whistles sound
ed with never ceasing shrillness, the
soprano and bass whistles blending
in a delightfully."- stirring discOrd
with the Ginning of many bells, and
making music the sweetest Of any
ever heard for it announced that the
terrible period of bloodshed and sor-
row was practically at an end. Peo-
pie flocked the muddy streets way
ing flags, and hailing each other
with joyous salutations, regardless
of rain or inclement weather. Pro
cessions paraded Front street.
throngs gathered in front of the
newspaper offices reading the bulle
tins, and the din of whistles and
bells never ceased.
plfiICO WSiS ClOoSu at
two o'clock, and everyone united in
big celebration of rejoicing that
the most gigantic and terrible war
in the history of the world had end :
ed.
Parade Streets in Rain.
Men, women and children paraded
the streets of Mankato this afternoon,
on foot and in automobiles, waving
flags, blowing horns and rejoicing in
the thought that the war was over.
Business was practically at stand
still, as all stores were closed that
the forces might join in the general
rejoicing. The buildings up and down
Front street were gayly decorated
with flags and bunting, ard whistles
and bells never ceased blowing and
ringing all afteroon. Mankato bust
ness men were out in force celebrat-
ing and the city fire department also
took part, making a splendid run.
Cow bells, auto horns, in fact every
thing would add to the joyful noise
was brought into play. Even the dogs
barked and rejoiced.
Fl. Fl. Perrin and force from his
garage paraded the street as a must
cal Jass band and added 10 the gem
eral festivity. Anyone who ventured
to remark to the crowd that the good
news might be premature was greeted
as a "kill joy"
At three O'Clock this afternoon a
monster triumphant parade in honor
of the news that the war was at an
end, marched up Front street. The
parade was headed by the band, which
played ''The Star Spangled Banner"
in front of the Sandon theatre before
the parade started. Practically every
business concern in Mankato was rep
resented in the parade, and men, wom-
en- and children marched happily to-
gether through the muddy streets.
