 WASHINGTON, July 28.-Abihty
 of the big five" packers, Swift, Ar mour, Cudahy, Morris and Wilson, to determine from day to day the daily level of livestock prices was declared incontrovertible in the third section of the federal trade commission re- port on the industry made public to- night
 Information obtained in the com missions investigation was cited to show the big five nave an interest in 28 of the 50 principal market yards of the country and majority of the voting stock in the 22 others. It was said they buy most of the livestock sold at these markets.
 They discriminate against and put at great disadvantage independent buyers, their competitors" the report said. They manipulate on occas- ions the livestock market in such way as to cause extreme and unwar- ranted fluctuations in the daily prices paid for livestock. They have clint mated many competitors and pre- vented new ones from coming in. They have restricted the meat sup ply of the nation by manipulating the daily livestock prices and thus dis couraging the producers of livestock.
 "Of the meat trade in the hands of interstate slaughterers in the Unit ed States the five big backing com panies have more than 73 per cent of the total. They nave the price of dressed meat and packing house products so well i'll hand that within certain limits, meat prices are made to respond to their wishes"

valuation based on net revenue, and that the payment of large sums to the government as excess taxes, lowered the net revenue against which the state indirectly levies.
 The 1919 valuation as fixed by the tax commission on the producing mines of Yavapai county, is $S4,3S5- 55347, a drop of a tTifle more than $4OOO,0O0.
 This IS more than made up in raises in assessments on all other sorts of property, including mine i'm provements, so that the total valua ton for 1919 is $l33,773,6 ,668.47, against $l3O,529, ,935.62 for 1918. How ever, the 1918 figure represents the valuation after the state equalization board got through pairing, while the 1919 item represents the total fixed by the tax commission and not yet examined by the equalizers. In Clerk Donovan's opinion, there will be no downward revision this year, or very little.
 Yavapai county, he declared, pays into the state school fund about 40 per cent more than Maricopa county, because this county assesses higher than the southern division. Yet, Maricopa county, because she raises more school children than taxes. draws much greater sum from the state fund than Yavapai So far as taxes are concerned, 1t would be much better to raise mote kids and less cattle and ore.
 This, says Donovan. is.cthe fault of the school tax law. Another phase of the school law, which works hard ships on the county, prevents any

 LEAVENWORTH, July 2s.- Planning an immediate return to Chicago, to be followed by tour of the country, William D. Hay wood, former secretary of the Industrial Workers of the World, was released from the United States penitentiary on bond to- day, pending an appeal.
 Reasserting that he and the 92 other l. w. WIS sentenced in Chicago had not been given fair trial, Haywood said he would make an appeal in his tour, which is to begin in the east, to the workingmen of. the coun- try"
 Our organization has been misjudged," Haywood said. We did not oppose war with Ger many. It could not be avoided. While we believe war as a whole is unnecessary the I. w. w. was in sympathy with Americas cause. The I, w. w. is not re- sponsible for nor guilty of the violence credited to it. We have never resorted to violence. We are the victim of a newspaper war"

By Associated Press.

BY HSSOCldttu HIcSSs WASHINGTON, July 28.-Mr Debuchi, counsellor of the Japanese embassy, charge in the absence of Viscount Ishii, conferred at the state department today with Secretary Lansing.
 So far as known no formal requests have been made on the Japanese em- bassy by the administration to issue any statement regarding the Jap anese purposes as to Shantung. but Ms. Debuchi was willing to discuss the subject with the Associated Press, with the distinct understand ing. however, that he was expressing his personal views.
 Answering a question as to what was to be the final disposition of the Japanese troops in Shantung, MT. Debuchi said
 Japan has firmly determined to re- store to China her sovereignty oyer the leased territory of Kiao Chau, which sovereignty was conferred on Germany in accordance with the stip- ulations of the treaty between China and Japan in 1908 ..
 Japan is not only prepared to re store that property to China but is also ready to open negotiations to that end with China as soon as pos sihle."

CARRANzA IS TOPBECAIJSE NOONE ELSE

By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, July 28.-"Car- ranza's rule of Mexico is not a gov ernment, but band of outlaws, both technically and practically" and "to- day it is\ utterly impossible, an en- emy of its own people first and America second" William Gates of Baltimore, an archaeologist. told the house rules committee today in its Hearing on the resolution proposing a congressional inquiry into Mexican affairs.
 Although asserting that President Wilson was -Inisled in making his de- cision to recognize Carranza, be- iieying the Mexican to be a "peo- .ple's champion" Gatrs declared in favor of leaving the solution of the Mexican problem vito the president. The president, he said, had not been fully informed Of conditions in the southern republic.
 Gates said his opinions were based on a first hand study of Mexican con ditions for about asyear, beginning in July, 1917. During this time, he visited parts of tine country not us- ually seen by casual travellers. For 20 years, he explained, he had been building up library of Mexican lit erature and his trip was to obtain more material and to find out what was going on behind the veil of our censorship and the Carranza censor ship"
 Carranza's control includes the main ports and the railroads, with. territory fot mile on either side, Gates asserted. This con trol he said was that of "a body of soldiers wno were ready to shoot att a moments notice in country where nobody else had any guns"
 Maintaining that a general politi- cal revolution is on in Mexico, Gates declared the so-called bandits are the country people, who, when the Car come in to make raid, take up their guns and become ban dits in the eyes of the government"

Higher. state and county tax rates and some opposition to the present laws which prevent auditing of school district budgets and the uneven ap- propriation of state school money back to the states are forecast in the proceedings and the work immedi- ately following the tax conference at the Grand Canyon. It was indicated yesterday at the office of Clerk R. E. Donovan of the board of supervisors that Yayapai county, especially, must nave more money to make up for a deficit that occurred last year on ac- count of not taking advantage of un- used balances.
 An interesting relationship was also indicated between the claims of state and federal taxes on mine prof it's. when it was made known that no state taxes are collected on sums turned in to the internal revenue bu- reau to satisfy federal claims for ex- cess profits, and this, it is said, ex- plains why there has been cut in the assessed valuation of the produc- ing mines.
 This cut in 1918 amounted to nearly $2,5OOOOO. apportioned as fol- lows:

By Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, July B. Sale of beer containing PA per cent alcohol was permitted in a decision by Judge William H. Sawtelle of Arizona in the Unit ed States District court here to- day, sustaining a demurrer of the Rainier Brewing company, which asked that government action ito prohibit the sale of such beer be dismissed.
 Judge Sawtelle held that the complaint was faulty in that it did not define 234 per cent beer as intoxicating. Leave to amend the complaint was granted.
 The action was brought under the war time prohibition act, which Judge Sawtelle held to be constitutional. The assistant United States attorney said a new complaint would be filed.

CHICAGO, July 28-Seven per -ons killed and more than two score Inded, many of them seri- ously, "a renewal of race riots in the Chicago black belt tonight.
 For more than five hours the five mile area on the south side was a battle-ground of scattered fights be- tween whites and blacks, and be- tween policemen and negroes, who fired from the housetops, from dark alleys and other points of vantage.
 The call for troops resulted in four regiments of national guardsmen being mobilized, but at a late hour tonight they had not been dispatched to the disturbed area, and Chief of Police Garrity expressed the pellet that the worst of the disorder had passed.
 Five of the dead are negroes and two are whites.
 There was no concentrated battle by the blacks, the outbreak dotting q large area.
 Every police station on the south side was flooded with reports. of deaths and injuries.
 Chief Garrity at a late hour said it was impossible to make an exact estimate of the casualties because of the contradictory reports. The riots, which started yesterday on the southside beaches, were re newed when negro laborers began leaving the big industrial plants and by dusk more than. a score of separ- ate outbreaks had occurred.
 White men began dra"e;ne rc- groes from street cars. n. leg. oc, retaliated with stones and knives. Street cars were tied up and the win dows smashed
 IA flying squadron of blacks mounted motor car and riding at tull speed through the section known as no mans land, sent a volley of shots al a group of whites. One white woman was injured. The negroes were overtaken after a long chase and arrested.
 Shortly afterward a mob of sev- eral hundred blacks formed and be- gan stonlng policeman. In a twink ling gunhre was opened and four of the negroes fell. All were mortally wounded.
 A white man in the same neighbor- hood was dragged from a truck and stabbed to death A black chauffeur was killed by whites a few minutes later in the same block.
 Scores of arrests were made, but where the rioters were found to be unarmed they were released.
 Negoes began footing stores of whites in one district shortly after the firing of revovers by a squad of policemen in an effort to break up a fight over a small purchase of gro ceries. The police soon emptied their guns. The footing continued until a special squad of policemen, armed with rifles, arrived. They fired low, felling a dozen blacks
 A white woman was pulled from a street car by a negro. He was soon lying unconscious against the curb; the angry whites had left him for dead Groups of blacks formed
