PORK PRODUCERS
FACE PRICE CUT
EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS no
PURCHASE THROUGH
SINGLE AGENT.

Washington. Dec. 1l.-Hog pro-
ducers may be on the lookout for a
heavy slump in the prices for live
hogs in the next two or three months,
according to one of the highest Off
cial authorities in the country.
An important factor is the action
of the allied governments of Europe,
which have intrusted the buying of
pork and pork products to a single
buyer in this country. This concern
naturally is seeking to drive down
the market.
Those in position to know, fear
this drive viii succeed. American
hog producers are not aware of what
Is likely to come, but a tumble is
forecasted unless the producers,
through their organizations, take
sharp steps to protect themselves.
1t is expected that the food admins
tration has been advised. Hoover is
understood to know it and to be op-
posed to anything that will hurt the
hog raising industry.

ICY WINTER GRIPS
NORTHWEST STATE
SURNORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
NO COAL BRING PITTFUL
APPEALS.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 1.-THE icy
hand of winter clamped down on east
ern Washington and northern Idaho
and with the sub-normal temperature
prevailing throughout Montana. cre-
ated situation regarded as critical
because of the fuel situation.
From the Cascade mountains Of
central Washington to the eastern
boundary of Montana. temperatures
far below any experienced at this
time OF year for 80 years. were re-
corded. Trains were delayed by snow
and cold. Cries for fuel went to
Helena from many communities in
Montana. and in response M. H. Ger
ry, jr., Montana state fuel admins
traitor. issued statement tonight de-
scribing the situation as critical. par
ticularly as regards northern Mon
tana.
In Butte, where thousands of min
ers are out of work because OF the
forced shutdown of most of the mines
the situation seemed somewhat
brighter. The campaign of relief in
augurated by the citizens committee
and warmer temperature. together
with reports that a small supply OF
coal was in transit, relieved the feel
ings of the local fuel administration.

SUPREME COUNCIL
MAY Be SUPERcEDED
WITHDRAWAL OF AMERICAN
DELEGATION CAUSE OF
NEW MOVE.

London, Dec. 11.-Premier Glenn
enceau and Premier Lloyd George
went into conference at the govern
ment offices in Downing street today.
British official circles declared that
Clemenceau's visit has two prime OBJ
Jects. Both are caused by the with
drawal Of the American delegation
from the peace conference. The first
was the arrangement of a new organ
ization to supercede the supreme
council which In opinion here was
broken up when the Americans de-
parted and the second was the COM
pleting Of an immediate entente with
Great Britain which later may de-
velop into a Franco British Italian al
lance. This also has become neces-
sary in the British opinion by the
American withdrawal from European
affairs.

STOCK RA|SERS'
FEED PROBLEMS
WITH HAY AT s25 A TON AND GO.
ING HIGHER, OUTLOOK FOR
WINTER Is SERIOUS.

Pierre, Dec. 1.-THE feed prob
lem looms up as serious one In the
western part Of the state for this win
ter. Hay at SIS q ton is already at
hand and the price is likely to be
higher unless there is decided change
In conditions.
While there was q shortage of grass
for hay In the extreme western part
OF the state. In the central part there
was heavy hay crop. but shortage
OF help to get It in shape for winter
feed. Thousands OF tons cut were
dropped In the wtnrow and never got
into the stack. and this is not avail
able where heavy snow covers the
ground.
Men could not be got at any price
to put up the hay. and this increases
the problem Of hay shortage. In
some sections many cars OF baled hay
were shipDsd out, and the demand for
this 10 yet strong. with the supply
limited and the price 10 following the
natural trend OF such conditions, and
the hay 70 going to the highest bidder
for this limited supply.
Shipping conditions kept on the
range many cattle which the owners
expected to market. and that adds to
the demand. Altogether, the situa-
ton appears to be one Of high priced
feed. and either higher priced cattle
or loss to the owners.

ARREST TWO IN
EXPRESS THEFT
FORMER COMPANY EMPLOYEES AT
RAPID CITY CHARGED
WITH ROBBERY.

Frank J. Ceroux. who with Frank
Fry, Is charged with a bold express
robbery.

fornia with Geroux. Fry is in the
custody Of the Pennington county au-
thorities and has been held for trial
in the circuit court. In default of
bonds he has been lodged in the coun-
ty Jail.
Both were employees of the Ameri-
can Railway Express company in
Rapid City. Several weeks ago a
package of watches shipped by ex-
press to j. J. Levinson, Rapid City
jeweler, was broken into and a part
of the contents abstracted. Suspi-
cion, it appears, was directed toward
Fry and Geroux from the start, but
for time no evidence against them
could be secured.
Fry finally was discharged from
the service of the company. and later
Geroux. who evidently believed the
officers were about to take him into
custody. left his employment and
went to Omaha. where he enlisted in
the navy and was Mt once sent to
California.
A few days ago Fry appeared in
Levinson's jewelry store with q
lady's wrist watch. which he wanted
repaired. Levinson. by the number,
identified the watch as one OF those
consigned to him which had been
stolen from the express package, and
reported the matter to the authori-
ties.
Armed with search warrant Of
ficers found in Fry's apartments 9TH
er jewelry which is alleged to have
been stolen. and jewelry also was
found In the room occupied by Ge-
roux before his departure for Omaha.
Fry's arrest Immediately followed
and Geroux was traced to California
and arrested there on instructions
from the South Dakota authorities.
His commanding officer readily
agreed to surrender him to the civil
authorities.

porting anarchists from Ellis island

sent.
A delay of months before Berkman
and Miss Goldman are deported, IL at
all, was predicted by their counsel,
Harry Weinberger. Granted a stay
OF deportation until next Thursday
by Federal Judge Mayer, who dis
missed their writs of habeas corpus,
he intends to apply to the United
States supreme court for a writ OF
error and further stay. The case
must await its turn for agrument in
the supreme court and then some
time will elapse before decision Is
given. Meanwhile. Berkman and
Miss Goldman will remain in custody
of the immigration authorities at FL
lis island, unless released on bail.
Judge Mayer refused bail on the
ground that they are enemies of the
country" but suggested that Vein
berger could apply for bail to some
other court.
