Unless we can be assured of more

control than was the case with the
railroads. telegraph and telephone
companies, neither the producer nor
consumer can hope to benefit from
such legislation" Everett c. Brown.
president of the National Live stock
Exchange, which is composed of stock
yard brokers, told the committee yes
terday.
Mr.. Brown took exception to tes-
timony given before the committee
by Federal Trade Commissioner Col
yer, and remarked that lin our great
industry it had seemed more proper
to speak of the 'tirade' commission
than the trade commission"
Independents Set Pace"
The witness" he said. referring to
Mr.. Colver, stated the so-called in
dependent packers existed merely at
the sufferance of the large packers
II this be true. how does he account
for the fact that at many OF our
great markets. the independents re-
peatedly and aggressively set the
pace in buying live stock? Would the
so-called trust voluntarily permit
the continuation of such expensive
'sufferance'?"
THE witness stated that the bro
kers were i'm the yards at the suffer-
ance of the packers. though really the
agent Of the shippers. resent this
allegation. and it only shows the un-
familiarity of the witness with actual
conditions.
Live stock is today the One farm
product assured of daily cash mar
ket. Anything which would disturb
this condition would be ruinous to the
producer" =,
Refrigerator car development Mr.
Brown classed as "a bright spot in the
history OF the packing industry and
urged caution in legislating upon their
use.
Ownership Of the stockyards by the
packers, Mr.. Brown said. was not a
long as competition was maintained
and yard charges were reasonable.

FRANK FIEGEL
TRIED HARD TO Die
Twin Lakes Man Shoots At
Himself With a Gun But
Only Bores Hole In
His Coat.

Suffering from dependency alleged
to have been caused by family troubles
Frank Fiegel, 80 years Of age made a
desperate attempt to commit suicide
in the bed room of his home at Twin
Lakes on Monday. He opened fire on
himself with shot gun and the charge
from the gun tore a great hole in his
coat. The charge from the shot gun
set fire to the clothing of the man and
the fire was communicated to the cloth
ing of the bed ine the room but the
wife of Feigel went to his rescue and
by heroic work managed to extinguish
the flames before he had been serious
ly burned and before any damage had
been done to the house. She called
Deputy Sheriff Fl. J. spetzman to the
house and he brought Fiegel to Keno
sha and landed him in Jail where he is
being held pending an investigation
set for Wednesday morning.
Fiegel had been employed on the
farm of Anton Schlax near the village
at Bassett's Station and returned TO
his home on Monday. He appeared to
be very respondent and after a few
words with his wife he went into the
bedroom. Mrs. Fiege1 had feared that
the man might attempt to take his own
life and as he closed the door leading
into the room she went toward the
room. A minute later she heard the
shot and opening the door she found
that the man IS clothing was in flames.
Fiegel had attempted to lean on the
shot gun and shoot himself through
the heart but evidently his plays went
wrong as the charge from the GU. went
through the collar Of his corduroy coat.
