CATTLE MARKET
Kansas, City Stock Yards July T.

Kansas, City Stock Yards. July 7- Cattle, Hog and sheep prices were higher today. This is the first time in good many months past when all classess of meat animals took on high CT prices at the same time. The ad- vanced is due to increasing demand l for meat. Cattle were up 25 cents, hogs up 15 to 25 censt to a new high record position at $22.OO and sheep were big quarter higher. All offer ings cleared readily.
 Today's Receipts.
 | Today's receipts were light in all departments. The decrease is at tributed to the rush of harvest sag gfng prices late Nl June and the belief that the market has passed the low price level of the season. Cat tie receipts today were 7500, or g. 800 less than week ago, IF. 900 less II, ,000 or 4000 less than a week ago. Sheep 4,O0O or 10000 less than a week ago, and 800 larger than a year ago. Beef Cattle
 There was an urgent call for beef cattle, and with receipts below ex- pectations prices were a good quar- ter higher. extremes up 36 cents. Six and Native steers sold mostly at $11- 50 to $14.75. Cows and heifers ad- vancel as much as fat steers. Cows brought $7.00 to $11.50 and heifers |$8 to $12.50. Yearlings steers and steers and heifers mixed brought $10.- 50 to $14.25. The general position of the market is $1 higher than a week ago. This upturn in the mark ct is the first general advance. that has occurred in the past two months.
 Stockers and Feeders
 Trade in stockers and feeders was active at 15 to 25 cents higher prices. Small receipts limited demand to the raore urgent orders. It is the general opinion that receipts of thin cattle will show a material increase in the next few weeks. Feeders are quoted at $9.OO to $13.00 and stockers $s.50 to $12.O0. Hogs.
 Kansas City was the first Missouri River market to record $22.00 price for hogs, ana that was paid today by packers on a 15 to 25 cent higher mark ct than last week. The bulk of the hogs brought s216O to s21.9O This is the period of the year when light receipts usually prevail, and prices are expected to remain high. Choices I19O to 200 pound hogs are the kind bringing top prices, though the price lspread is unusually small for this

tribe, and both sons of the old chief, Uatlltony, is said to have stirred the interest of the Navajo's as no simi- lar case has done in many years. A number of the Indians have been sum- moned as witnesses. while others of those who have arrived to await the outcome of the trial have travelled from the extreme northeastern cor ner of Arizona and from New Mexico Colorado and Utah.
 The charred body of Charles Hub bel, trader and brother of former State Senator Lorenzo Hubbel, was found the morning of March in the ruins of his. trading post, which had been set afire. Two Navajos were tracked from the scene of the crime, Orabia, small Indian village, in the mountains of northern Arizona. and later the Adaltoni's were captured Dy the Indian police.
 Officers asserted that the elder of the two, No. 1, confessed that he had shot Hubbel during quarrel over the traders dog, which the Indians said had bitten them.

M1sREpREsENT1NG THEIR PARTY

In the attitude and actions of Senators Lodge Knox and few of their close associates in the fight against the League of Nations there has been implication that they constitute the Republican party as we'll as the sole source of authority in making treaties.
 Senator McCumbers' repudiation of their leadership and his espousal of the League was the first disillusonment vouchsafed to these makers of destiny'' Now come some of the most influential Republicans in the country to urge the Senatorial Tailors of Tooley Street to regard the wishes of some hundreds of thous- ands of other members of the party by whom the opposition to the League of Nations is deem- ed both distasteful and disastrous.
 This little cabal of Senators have not thus far been moved by considerations of patriotism but they may be expected to pay some heed to threats of defection in the ranks of their party. The whole conduct has been such that it is not unfair to believe they would rather withdraw from the fight on the League than be withdrawn from the Senate.

LODGES ROAD A ROCKY ROUTE

Senator Lodge is finding the road he is tread ing as leader of his party in the Senate rocky route. On one hand he is beset by Senator Knox, Chairman Hays and others, who are de- claring that the League of Nations is not partisan or political issue. The next day he is attacked by Senators Borah, Poindexter and others, who tell him that if the G. O. P hasn't the backbone to make it party issue they will establish party next year to make it party issue.
 The Massachusetts Senator will need enough oil to pour the turbulent waters within the next year to send the price soaring to new nights
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1919-07-11

The Socialist party, recognized political organization is becoming restive against the foreign born Left Wing that champions bloody revolution; and the Executive Committee is ex- polling the Magyar, Lettish, Lithuanian, Polish South Slav, Russian and Ukrainian branches, as well as the whole Michigan State branch This action will come up for ratification before an emergency convention in August. In it's way, an Armageddon!.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1919-07-11

Somebody blundered. The trap was sprung after the quarry had passed and just in time to catch the hunters. When Senator Lodge told the Senate he had discovered copy of the treaty in New York; it was hailed by his com panions another evidence of the Presidents perfdy; for had not Mr. Wilson promised that the treaty should not be given out until signed. and had not Wall Street copies for the purpose of taking, financial advantage of the treaty terms before the rest of the country knew them? Yet matters have not turned out as ex- pected. The investigation disclosed the fact that the copy of the treaty seen by Mr. Lodge was in the hands of Elihu Root, Republican MT. Root testifes that he got it from Mr. Davis on Republican. MT. Davison got the treaty from MT. Lamont of Morgan & Company Republican. MT. Lamont got the treaty as confidential adviser of the Paris Conference Thus the whole matter from beginning to end was Republican, and so was all right Really this will not do. A few more investigations like this and the Republican Senators will look ridiculous to themselves as they now do to the rest of the country.
