NEAR TO KAN. man
That's Where w. HI. Gates
Urged Packers To Stay.
by Giving Thomp-
son Law Firm Business.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The attitude
of President Wilson toward the Bor
land resolution was sounded out by
the packers thru w. H. Gates, cha ir-
man of the Democratic state commit
tee of Colorado, who reported talking
to Secretary Tumulty and then later
reported the president was unfavor-
liable to the resolution because he did
not wish to disturb business.
Mr.. Gates talked with various seLa-
tors and congressman in Washington,
particularly Thompson of Kansas. one
of his personal friends, and reported
to the packers that he believed they
would make no mistake in keeping
close to the senator and that they
could reciprocate by giving Thompson
law firm some of the business they
had in Kansas City.
MIR. Gates says Thompson is a poor
man and for that reason should not be
in Washington. but that he thought so
much " him personally that he gave
$1,000 against his campaign ex-
penses," read a memorandum to Nc
Manus which was stamped at the end
with the name of L. A. Carton, an
employe of Swift & Co.
Senator Thompson and Fred Rob-
ertson, United States district attor-
ney, are law partners. The partner
ship was formed more than two years
ago when the district attorneys office
was removed from Topeka to Kansas
City. 1t is understood that Senator
Thompson noweciaims Kansas City as
his home and during recent trips to
Kansas has spent much of his time at
the law office.

tice to Representative SBorland that
the congressman did not cease his eff
forts for an investigation.
Packers Attorneys Sleuths?
Evidence that the packers had OBJ
tanned confidential information in
1916 caused Francis J. Heney, counsel
in the meat packing investigation to
protest publicly to the federal trade
commission today against the practice
of leaving the offices in the commits
sion's building unlocked.
Il have several times returned and
found an attorney for the packers
alone in my office" Mr.. Heney said.

I Chicago, Jan. o6-Corn has risen in value
this week, forced upward largely by the
fact that the crop movement altho improved
did not become as brisk a majority of
week ago the market this morning was Nc
to &c higher.
Oats showed gains of &c to 1a@25sc.
p The result in provisions varied from At
cents decline to a rise of 81 cents.
Despite evidence of material progress in
clearing up railroad congestion, hope of
liberal arrivals of corn gave way to disap-
pointment after Monday and Tuesday.
Liberal sales to the seaboard together
with meagerness of supplies lifted oats
above all previous high price records this
season.
Big supplies of hogs made provisions
average lower.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Jan. 26.-CORN-Unfavorab BILE
weather for the crop movement put the corn
market today on the upgrade. Receipts
here were again disappointingly small. and
there was no likelihood of immediate
betterment in the face of a blizzard comm e
from the west. Demand, however was not
of an aggressive sort Opening prices
which ranged from the same Yesterdays
finish to &c higher. with March 81. 2634 and
May 81 20 to 81 25H We're followed by a
moderate further advance.
Week end adjustment of trades led sub
seQuently to slight reaction. The close
was unsettled, Mc to Il M3sc net higher
with March S1-26Z and May 81 25A al 25a
records for the season. The market was al
most bare of offerings. After opening 1sc
to &c higher, with May at 79Ac to 19ssc,
prices continued to ascend.
PROVISIONS-Lack of selling pressuse
caused an advance n provisions Lower
quotations on hogs were ignored.
The fact that hog prices had reached the
minimum set by the food dictator seem
ed to counteract the influence of the latest
declines at the yards.
