Grant Nonpartisan league organizer
from the tribe of Townley who goes
from town to town preaching class
hatred and stirring up community
strife.
The council OF Terry recently
passed an ordinance which requires
every lecturer or "soap-box" orator
to sign a pledge before he is permitted
to air his views. That pledge is an
agreement not to say anything sedi-

community hatred.
The pledge goes even further. ~

Washington. April 6.-The federal
trade commissions public inquiry in
to the meat packing industry. which
under the direction OF Francis J.
Heney developed testimony designed
to show control OF stockyards and
railroads by the five big packers and
alleged attempts to influence legisla-
tors, has been completed and Mr..
Heney's connection with the commits
sion has terminated.
Mr.. Heney's departure for his home
in California several days ago became
known today. Members of the COM
mission said his term Of employment
had expired, after having been ex-
tended several times beyond the
original date set for his work to end.
They said he had not resigned, but
merely had finished his task.
The packing investigation has been
placed under the direction of Com
missioner Victor Murdoch. who also
has been named by Chairman Harris
as the representative of trade and
business on the board to which Presi-
dent Wilson entrusted the task of
formulating a national policy on meat

Washington, April 6.-Develop-
ment Of the second phase Of the Ger

closely here yesterday, army officers
apparently feeling that the critical
point OF the great struggle is rapidly
approaching. Official reports gave
little information on which to base
definite opinions though it seemed
evident that the Germans were try
ing to force a foothold before
Amiens. and to increase pressure
against the junction point between
the French and British armies.
Under the new policy, the war de-
partment again had nothing to add to
official reports from London and
Paris. Strict silence on the prog
ress OF the battle or the participa-
ton Of American troops in the fight
ing was maintained.
The department is forging ahead
With its efforts to speed additional
American forces to back up the be-
leaguered lines. One element OF the
plans was learned authoritatively.

draft to be summoned this month
will be 10000 men instead of $4,000
as previously planned. They will
be the first considerable force mobil-

There are indications that troop

set aside temporarily in order to
