night OF TERROR IN CHICAGO RACE RIOTS

the live stock industry the commission
summarized in part as follows:
II. Altho there are fifty stock yard
at which live stock Is bought an
sold. more than 50 per cent Of the an
mails pass thru twelve yards (Chici !,
go, Kansas City. st. Louis. Omaf :
st. Joseph, st. Paul. New York Cf =
Fort Worth. Sioux CITY. cklahc
City, Denver and Wichita). and
four largest yards alone receive n
than per cent OF the cattle. 49,.
cent of the hogs. and 81 per cent OF
the sheep. These four markets. which
dominate all others and which largely
determine the prices Of cattle. hogs
and sheep for the entire country, are
Chicago, Kansas City. st. Louis and
Omaha.
"2. The five big packers either joint
ly or separately have an interest In
twenty eight of the fifty market yards:
they have n majority of voting stock
In twenty-five, and are Jointly interest
ed in fifteen. More than 81 per cent or
the animals pass thru the yards In
which they have an interest. Yards in
which the big five are not interested
are comparatively untmportant. Or
all live stock slaughtered by interstate
slaughterers 701 per cent of all ami
mals--Sl per cent of cattle, $50 OF
calves. 1875 of sheep. and So of hogs
are slaughtered at twelve principal
yards.
"3.Both before and since the big
packers acquired this financial interest
In stock yards they have received
from the yards companies many MIL
lions of dollars in cash, bonds, and
land as bonuses for locating packing
plants.
-. Taken as a whole. a very small
per cent of the present voting stock

pal stock yards represents actual cash

numerous cases forced the original
owners to relinquisb control.
as. The earnings of the packer con-
trolled yards have sufficed to pay the
large cash bonuses to the packers and
to increase the outstanding capital
stock from surplus earnings to many
times the original capital paid in ana
at the same time pay regular reason
able cash dividends on the outstanding
capitalization. The large part Of this
increased capital stock has gone to big
packers as stock bonuses or gifts and
as stock dividends"
The report says that the ability OF
the big five packers to determine from
day to day the general level Of live
stock prices SIS incontrovertible" and
1t charges that the big five discrimi-
nate against independent buyers. pack
ers. and traders and manipulate the
live stock market in such a way as to
cause extreme and unwarranted fluc-.
tuations In daily prices.
The results OF this dominion. the
commission says, are:
Il. They have eliminated many COM
petitors and have prevented new ones
coming In.
"2. They have restricted the meat
supply Of the nation, thus discouraging
producers of live stock"

Hospitals Crowded.

Hospitals on the South Side were re-
ceiving those injured In such numbers
that tabulation Of the victims was i'm

groes. Similarly negresses were
stabbed, shot and beaten when frag-
ments Of the white armies encountered

dents predominated.
Two white women, one with an In
fant in her arms, were attacked and
both wounded by negro mobs that fired
on q street car.
Several thousand men stormed the
old Eighth regiment armory, in the
heart of the riot zone. Doors were

Police rushed to the scene. fired into
the mob and finally drove 1t from the
armory. According to reports, more

erwise injured.
With the approach OF darkness the
rioting gave prospect of being con-

without waiting for the advice of the
council of the league OF nations that
such action will be taken.
Links Il With World League.
TT is to be an arrangement. not In
dependent Of the league Of nations. but
under 1t.
1T Is therefore expressly provided
that this treaty shall be made the sub
Ject Of consideration at the same time
with the treaty OF peace with Ger
many; that this special arrangement
shall receive the approval Of the coun-
Gil of the league; and that this spe-
cial provision for the safety Of France
shall remain in force only until, upon
the application of one of the parties
to it, the council of the league. acting
II necessary by a majority vote. shall
agree that the provisions Of the COW
enant of the league afford her suffi-
cient protection.
II was moved to sign this treaty by
considerations which will, I hope,
seem as persuasive and as irresistible
to you as they seem to me. We are
bound to France by ties Of friendship
shall always regard as peculiarly sac
red. She assisted us to win our free
dom as a nation. 1t is seriously to be
doubted whether we could have won
it without her gallant and timely aid.
Pay Debt to France.
I'VE have recently had the privilege
to assist in driving enemies who were
also enemies Of the world from her
soil; but that does not pay our debt
to her. Nothing can pay such debt.
She now desires that we should prom
Use to lend our great force to keep her
safe against the power she has had
most reason to fear. Another great
nation volunteers the same promise. 1t
is one of the fine reversals of history
that that other nation should be the
very power from whom France fought
to set US free. Anew day has dawned.
Old antagonisms are forgotten. The
common cause of freedom and enlight-
enment has created new comradships
and a new perception of what 1t Is
wise and necessary for great nations
to do to free the world of intolerable
fear. Two governments who wish to
be members Of the league of nations
ask leave of the council of the league
to be permitted to go to the assistance
of a friend whose situation has been
found to be one of peculiar peril, with
out awaiting the advice of the league
to act.
TT is by taking such pledges as this
that we prove ourselves faithful to the
utmost to the high obligation of graf
itude and tested friendship. Such an
act as this seems to me one OF the
proofs that we are people that sees
the true heart and duty and prefers
honor to it's own separate course OF
peace. ~ -

Progressive Counties Of Iowa -
Proposition Carries After Thorough
Investigation by Citizens.

Jefferson, July 29.-Grecne county
became the nineteenth county in the
state to vote in favor Of paved roads
when the proposition carried at a spe-
cial election yesterday.
BY a reference to the returns 1t will
be seen that Greene county carried the
good roads proposition by a very large
majority; probably by as large ma
jority as any county voting on the
matter in the state. The main roads
have all been put to grade and prop
erly drained and are practically ready
for the hard surfacing at any time.
But two townships in the county voted
against hard surfacing and bonds and
the proposition carried more than
three to one outside Of the city OF
jefferson, showing the rural vote was
largely In favor of permanent roads.
Here Is a summary Of the vote:
For paving ................... 1873
Against paving .............. 552
Total IN favor ............... 1867
For bonds ................... 1.4s4
Against bonds ................ 604

GOLD STARS TOLD THE STONY
Pathetic Reason Why Elderly Lady

A group Of men were at lunch IN
New York club, and enc Of them
told this story:
"My daughter is going to school at
Wellesley. The other day fiehd In
Boston sent her a little fox terrier
puppy. She couldn't keep him at
school, so she made inquiry for o
place where he could be boarded till
the end of the term, AS q result OF
her inquiries she received q note from
a lady saying she would ke glad to
take care Of the dog. not only be-
cause of the little additional pin
money It would give her, but mainly
because she was very, very lonely. So
my daughter went to her home. There
she found a sweet-faeed, white haired
old lady who must indeed have been
very lonely, for In the front window
there hung service flag containing
five gold stars, each representing q
son."
And that is the reason the old lady
with the halo of white HAIR was 80
lonely that she welcomed the compan-
