WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Resuminc

of San Francisco, to-day read numer-
Gus letters describing the packers ef-
forts to prevent the passage in the
House of the Borland resolution pro-
vlding for an investigation Of the
packing industry. Virtually all the
letters were taken by the wit
ness from testimony presented to
the Federal Trade Commission in con-
nectlon with its recent investigation.
One letter, which the witness said
was signed by r. c. McManus, attorney
for Armour &, Co., was in the nature

Representative Fitzgerald, leader of

stated this to show that this opposition
was not for partisan purposes.

looms that have leased the fixtures
from the brewery. This includes all
the city breweries, for the Milwaukee
brewers, like those in other cities,
have made practice of leasing prop
erty to saoonkeepers and then Of
renting the fixtures also. The Pabst
and Schhtz companies for years, since
the dry wave began to rise, have been
forced to rent enormous storeroom
space for fixtures, tables and chairs,
to say nothing of bars. which can be
purchased from any big brewery for

he attacked from many sides.
"The first question to be determined"
s.;d Mr.. Hirst. ''is whether it is neccs-
sarv for such states as have a refer
endnm to submit their ratification to
,onular vote before it can become
binding. There are fourteen or fifteen
NJ these states. and if it is determined
that their ratifyng vote has no weight

Dry Leaders Rejoice
AT the New York headquarters of the
Anti Saloon League in Broadway, the
Rev. Rolln 0. Everhart, editor of "The
American Issue" and associate Of
William H. Anderson, the fighting su
perintendent of the state league, said
The dry wave was no surprise to its
champions there. as they had predicted
the result since last summer.
Bishop Luther B. Wilson. of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, president
of the Anti-Saloon League of America
who helped to organize the league
twenty-five years ago. said the ratifica-
ton was one of the greatest moral
victories ever won.
"The attitude of such leading dailies
as The New York Tribune in refusing
10 handle liquor advertisements aided
enormously, and then came the war"
he said, with the prominence accorded
to enforced total abstinence among the
troops. The movement then gained
an irresistible momentum.
Fight To Be Kept Up
Il do not look for any halt in the
progress of the cause. The league in
the field IS oficered by competent and
tireess men, competent to carry for
ward the battle to complete and prac-
teal victory
The Rev. Mr.. Everhart said the vic
tory Of the drys would be celebrated in
the auditorium of the Metropolitan Life
Building on Monday, January 81. at the
fourth annua, meeting of the New York
City Union of Ministers.

ldent Wilson by Edward N. Hurley,
while chairman of the Federal Trade
commission, not opposing an investi-
cation of the packers. but suggesting
that If one was to be made it should
be conducted by some other agency
than the commission. These recon-
mendations made by Mr.. Hurley, Mr.
ieney declared, followed out one of
the recommendations made by the
packers attorney in attempting to pre-
vent an investigation.
In letter dated January 18, 1917,
Chairman Hurley said it was indicated
that the investigation was aimed at
the present high prices. The Depart
ment of Justice, he said, was ntrusted
with the enforcement of the antitrust
laws and had existing facilities which
1T could use presently to determine
whether there was a violation of these
laws

Once more has New York City

she had taken SIG from his pockets to

Senate Hears Result in Silence
There was no demonstration follow
ing the vote. Senator La Toilette
heard the result announced without
changing his expression.
The Senate's action disposes Of not
only the Minnesota Safetv Commits
slon's proceedings, which have been
pending for more than a year. but. in
effect, also, of numerous petitions tc
the Senate asking for Senator La Fol-
lette's expulsion.
Except for the attack of Senator La
Toilette by Senator Williams. the reso-
luton was adopted with little debate.
During most of the proceedings Sena-
tor La Toilette occupied his seat at
the. front of the centre aisle, chewing
a cigar and with his face sternly set.
Senator Williams's criticism appar-
emily was unexpected. The formal
documents in the case, including SEN
ator Pomerene's arraignment of Mr..
La toilette IN the minority committee
report, had been read and a rollcall
on dismissal of the case begun. when
Senator Williams interrupted, declar-
ing he was unwilling to let the resoIu-
ton go 20 a vote without voicinr his
criticism.

DREADED ENEMY OF AVIATOR
Most Expert Airmsn, Caught in Fog,
Is Practically at Mercy of
Circumstances.

Nothing connected with the history
the way in which the weather difficult
ties and dangers Of Il few years ago
have been reduced to the level Of
minor '-lconveniences by the increased
skill of aviators and especially by i'm
provements in airplanes. 1t is hardly
an exaggeration to say that at the
present time the only serious outstand-
ing meteorological problem of the avn
ator is fog.
There is no means of keeping ones
bearings when flying in or over q
fog. and the same is, of course, true
of lOw-lying clouds. The compass
tells which way the machine is point
ing at any moment, but not the di-
rection in which it is flying, except
when travelling exactly with or
against the wind. There are no land
marks in the air. Even more serious
is the problem Of landing in a fog.
The chances are always considerable
of striking dangerous obstacles, such
as trees buildings, Or telegraph wires.
or of alighting in bodies of water.
swamps, etc. Moreover, as one vet
eran flyer has stated, "what is dis
tressing to the airmen in fog is the
impossibility Of knowing whether he
be slightly climbing or slightly de-
scending full tilt into hills, trees or
houses without time to save the situ-
ntion."

PUT "BAD LUCK" IN DISCARD
When the Game of Life Is Analysed,
There Is No Such Thing to
Be Found.

There is no such thing as "bad
luck" The belief in it is a gross SUI
perstition. 1t is claimed that there Is
a lot Of luck in poker. My observa-
ton has been that the man who wins
at poker consistently is merely the
best player of poker. There are some
who have a run of luck" But if
the "run" lasts three minutes the op-
posite run" generally lasts equally
long. If the good luck holds up foi a
year, the bad luck appears during the
next year. Any habitual card-player,
unless he is very poor player or
an unusually good one, will tell you
that his winnings and losses just
about counterbalance.
In poker, as in life, the final deter
mining factor is skill, knowledge Of
the game, patience. taking advantage
of opportunities. If you hav> pre-
monition that you are going to fail
in an undertaking you are promising
yourself disaster in advance, you are
merely saying to yourself: II know
I am not equal to that. I'll fall down
on it, sure" Dismiss the premonition.
Throw away the "charms" and tails
mans. Get on the job.-James hay,

KILL OFF PREDATORY BEASTS
Kidding Ranges of Ravaeing Rogues
Results in Saving More Than
$5,000,0o Worth of Stock.

r It is estimated that the bureau Of
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture is saving
annually over 100000 worth of live
stock for the ranchers of the Rocky
mountain section as result Of Its In
tensive campaign against predatory an
imals, which has been in progress dur
ing the past three years. During this
period 6O,45S coyotes, S,OS5 bobcats.
1929 wolves, POI mountain lions, and
137 bears have been trapped or shot.
and many other animals have been
poisoned. The income from the sale OF
pelts of animals killed by government
hunters to protect live stock during the
last year will aggregate approximately
100000. This work is of special Inn
portance, because the cattle and sheep
which are already on the renge produc-
ing meat, wool, and leather are afford
ed protection, and thus the actual
sources of these essential commodities
are being conserved for market. Fur
thermore, clearing the range of preda-
tory animals is making conditions more
favorable for stocking the grazing
areas to full capacity and for improv-
ing the quality Of the breeding stock.

United States Admirals.

The first rear admirals in the United
States navy were commissioned in 1862
when that rank was created by act of
congress. David Farragut, for his valor
in the Civil war, was made vice admir-
al in 1864, and two years later the
rank of admiral in the United States
navy was established for the purpose
of honoring him. The grade Of admiral
was revived in 1890 and conferred up
on George Dewey, the hero of Manila.
The highest rank Of American naval
officers in active service was, up to a
short time ago, that Of rear admiral.
The title of admiral was first used in
France. and the first French admiral
was appointed in 1894. A few years
later the title was adopted by the Eng
fish, and the rank of admiral of the
English seas was first given to William
de Leybourne by Edward in 1897.
