GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, June 26.--Mixed sentiment
based largely on varying crop conditions
In different sections was reflected in
the corn market today, the prices av-
eraging slightly higher, distant months
showing greater strength. Opening
prices, which ranged from nc lower to
IN higher with July S1.80h to $1.79A,
September $1.76% to III u and Decem-
Der 154A to 154A, held within narrow
limits in the early trading, with July
working away from the initial low.
Later the market moved within mar
row limits. Generally favorable crop
conditions were reflected in slight re-
cessions. The market closed weak, UNI
changed to 1Bd net decline, with July
$l.799s to $1.79%, September S1.75% to
$l.75& and December $1.53H to $l.53%.
Oats showed greater strength than
corn, opening II to sc higher with
September 10 to TON. Later after a
slight sag the market firmed at about
opening prices.
An initial demand gave strength to
provisions prices.

Vigorous Protest
Against Proposed
Laws Made by Howe

A vigorous protest against the
proposed national legislation to reg
ulate the packers was made by R.
{. Howe, general manager of Ar
mour & Co.'S packing plant here, in
short and biting speech at the
morning session of the traders con-
vention yesterday morning. Spe
cial reference was made to the Ken
yon and Kendrick bills before con-
gress, which, according to Mr..
Howe, would place the whole
great packing industry at the will
of a government official"
1--WE are drifting into socialism"
said Mr.. Howe. Just because the
packers have built up an efficient
business and are thereby making
money they are being accused of
making their profits illegally. The
new legislation regulating packers
is framed by men who want some
thing done and don't know how to
get it. They will break down ef-
fciency and initiative. They vir-
tually say that anyone may come
and slaughter anything they want
to, It regulates the stock yards,
tells the packers what they can or
can't buy and even extends to the
newspapers that print market quo
tations. 1t is the first step to IL
cersc all interstate business"
The speaker was loudly applaud
ed by practically all the delegates
present. He sketched each Of the
five provisions of the bills, giving
his opinion of their probable effect
on all concerns allied with the live
stock industry.

BRIDGE over THE
PLATTE RIVER
Yutan and Waterloo Favor
Paving Of Center Street
Road, Delegates Tell
Business Men.

J. H. Parks, business man of Yu-
tan; Mr.. Lindquist, Waterloo, and
County Commissioner Compton
lunched with the trade extension and
the retail trade committees of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday,
and to some extent went over the
proposed cauntry road paving.
Mr.. Parks assured the members OF
the committee that the residents of
the eastern portion of Saunders
county propose to aid in obtaining
a bridge over the Platte river on
the line of Center street, extended.
With the bridge constructed on
the line of the Center street road,
Mr.. Parks believes that eventually
Saunders county would pave from
the bridge west.
Mr.. Lindquist assured the men,
bers of the committee that practi-
cally all of the people of Waterloo
favor the Center street road propo-
sition, and are strong for bridge
over the Platte near Yutan.
County Commissioner Compton
said an all-steel bridge aover the
Platte, could be erected for about
$125,0OO.
Should a bridge be built in the
vicinity of Yutan. Douglas county
would pay one-fourth; Saunders
county, ne-fourth, and the state,
one-half of the cost.

Police Chauffeur
Hegg Resigns From
Position Under Fire

Z. Hegg, police chauffeur, who
testified before the city council dur
ing the hearing of the Mrs. Thomas
Brcwn case, has rendered his resig-
nation to Chief of Police Eberstein.
Hegg was suspended and threat
ened with charges. The charges
have not been field, although City
Commissioner Ringer announced a
week ago that they had been pre-
pared.
The officer was serving as chauf-
feur for the morals squad on the
night of the raid at the Brown
apartments.
He testified that Detectives Herd
zina and Armstrong had been drink
ing and that Armstrong staggered
when he alighted fom the automo-
bile at his home.
1t was not long after Hegg had
testified that Chief Eberstein dis
covered something which he be-
lieved made it necessary to dismiss
.EIegg for the good of the service.
Hegg, says the position was not
worth making a fight for.

Six Automobiles
Stolen Yesterday;
Total for II DAYS, 20

With police apparently powerless
to cope with the situation, six more
automobiles were stolen from
downtown streets in Omaha yester-
day.
Yesterdays toll brings the total
for II days to 20 machines stolen
and not recovered.
Insurance men, aroused by the
unchecked activities of the thieves,
have been beseeching Governor Nc
Kelvie for aid.
State agents, it is understood,
have ceased devoting their time to
checking whisky smuggling and are
seeking to recover stolen automo-
biles.
