KENYON BILL MAKES PROGRESS
Hearings Before Senate Committee
Show Packers Have No Defense
to Offer

'The Kenyon Bill to regulate the
meat packers is one of the chief
measures now before Congress,
which is resigned to reduce the cost
of living" said DR.. Lewis H. Haney,
Director of the Bureau of Research
and Publicity of the Southern Whole
sale Grocers Association today" The
Bill is now before the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture, and is bound
to be reported out in the near flu
ture. The packers are making des-
perate effort to flood the Committee
with witnesses from all over the coun-
try, but from my observation of the
hearings, they are not making much
progress.
/ "Thus far the witnesses brought in
by the packers are Of two sorts: one
group believe in licensing the meat
packers. OF course this line of argu-
ment makes little impression, because
every one knows that the railways are
now actually operated by the Govern
ment, while the Kenyon Bill proposes
that the meat packers should be only
regulated, as our railways have al
ways been regulated, even in their
days Of efficiency before the war.
1.-THE witnesses of the second group
who are mostly cattle feeders, also
fail to talk to the point. Their state
ment is that some banker or cattle
loan association man has told them
that times look bad on account of
threatened Government regulation,
and that he fears he will not be able
to finance them until the Kenyon Bill
is killed. 1t is obvious to my mind
that such witnesses are either deceit
we'd, or are unduly Influenced by their
dependence upon bankers and cattle
loan associations which are controlled
by the packers-perhaps both.
when all the witnesses who can
be induced to go to Washington to
defend the packers have appeared, the
! Federal Trade Commissions experts
will sum up the case; alsi it is expec-
ted that the great holy of farmers
of the country who are opposed to
the meat packers monopoly will be
heard"
DR.. Haney concluded by stating
that the fact that the packers have
omnopoly control over the prices of
meats, chees, hides, and other food
products has not been successfully
denied"

SAD ACCIDENT


While running mining machine in
the Chas. w. Teter mine on Tuesday
Floyd Dadisman was caught in the
machine and his right leg was en-
tirely torn from his body.
The men near him gave him the
best first aid they could and he was
brought to the Brown Hospital and
later taken to the Forman Hospital,
at Buckhannon, but died the same
evening, the shock and loss of blood
being to great for his endurance.
Floyd Dadisman was one of our
community's best citizens, always at
tending strictly to his own affairs and
doing right by his fellowman. The
favorable sentiment expressed by all
of Floyd Dadisman's acquaintance, is
Z worth more than any marble noun
ment.
His wife is daughter of j. E.
Means and she is left with six child
!. rem.
The deceased was son of the late

REMAINS OF UNKNOWN MAN

Skull Crushed In and Body Partly
Concealed

ELKINS, W. VA. Sept 10.-Whil e

fore six o'clock Tuesday evening Har-
~ B. Frank, Western Maryland
conductor discovered the dead body Of
an unknown man about three-quar-
tiers of mile up the river above the
Odd Fellows Home. Mr.. Frank mn
mediately came to the .Superinten-
dents residence at the Home and no
tilted the authorities.
Justice NJ NJ. Smith summoned a
toroner's jury ard went to the scene,
Nwhere evidences of foul murder
We're plainly apparent. The body of
the man had been showed headlong
under log and then partially COW
cred with sticks and brush
A medical examination revealed the
fact that he had been murdered, his
skull having been literally crushed IT,
pieces The murder was committed,
perhaps about month ago.
Near the body was a new razor
evidently having been placed there
after the crime by the murderer in
an effort to create suspicion of sui
eide. The razor showed but little
signs Of rust and the officers who are
!, working on the case are inclined to
the belief that it was placed there by
the guilty party very recently.
1t is limited that there is pretty
well defined clue as to the identity of
the murderer and his arrest will prob
ably follow.
The jury returned the following
verdict: ''The name of the man is I'M
known to the jury, but he came to
his death by foul means at the hands
of a party or parties unknown to the
jury"

CAPT. K. d. WALKER DEAD

Sixty years of married life will be
quietly celebrated at the home of
Capt. K. D. Walker today. Just go
years ago today Capt. K D. Walker
and his wife were married and for
the past so years have seen them
gracefully grow old together. There
will be no social gathering today but
the children and grand children of
the estimable couple will drop in dur
ing the day at the family home and
many of the friends of the widely
known couple will call during the day
to pay their respects Fairmont Sun
day Times.
Following. closely on the heels of
this event came the sad news of the
death of Capt. Walker Thursday
morning. Capt Walker had been in
feeble health for many months and
while at an advanced age, his death
was no great surprise to his friends,
nevertheless it came as shock to
his friends here. Capt. Walker was a
resident of our city for number of
years and numbered his intimate
friends by the score here. He was
one of the few 33rd degree Masons of
West Virginia and his familiar face
will be sadly missed by that frater-
nifty who always found him present at
the roll call. AS we go to press fu-
neral arrangements have not been
made public.
