WHY THE BIG PACKERS
 ARE GOING BROKE

A neighbor across the road from me recently sold his hogs at the low est price he has been paid for hogs since 1915," said Judge A. s. Eylar. "He was paid from eight to ten cents pound for his hogs-this price was based on the Ft. Worth market of the day. The big packers control the prices at the Ft. Worth market.
 "On the same day that my neigh bor sold his hogs at the lowest price, local merchant bought bacon in Fl Paso aS the highest price he had ever paid for bacon. This was packing house bacon and the wholesale price presumably was fixed by the same packers who control the price of the hogs.
 q have a faint recollection that there is law against profteering. If so, on the face of it thls appears as plain violation of law, as if a foot pad would sand bag man and rifle his pockets.
 Suppose I would make statement Ike this: Yesterday while standing in front of the State National bank, two men came up Oregon street, Knocked me down, took my watch and pocketbook and ran down San Fran cisco street with them. While this was going on, three policemen stood within 15 feet and saw the whole transaction
 "A statement like that would get a rise out of Mayor Davis, who would want to know if citizens could be rob bed in broad daylight on the streets of Fl Paso. The chief of police would investigate. The police commission would be aroused.
 "But statement that the highest price ever paid for bacon and the lowest price for hogs were working together in Fl Paso on the same day, slugging the consumers and robbing them of their loose change, could be published in every paper in the coun- try and the great department of jus tice of the United States would never bat an eye. If full page advertising space were purchased and these facts published to the world in box car let ters, it would be money wasted, for apparently the great department of justice of the United States is so busy peeking through kitchen windows to see if it can catch some householder making little pot of home brew, that it has no time to read the papers, Fl Paso Herald.

MURDERER OF MARTIN SCHWAR, WHEN CAUGHT,

 SEVERAL FLAGSTAFF MEN

 had some remarkable dreams, in one of which he had couple of years ago solved a death mystery. Dr. Els worth suggested to Gardner that he tell Pearson about the Schwab mur- der and get Pearson to dream over it. Gardner did so, Pearson dreamed, and Gardner copied down the dream as told him by Pearson and sent it, with Pearson's sketch, to the Coconino county officials.
 Pearson had left Salt Lake City, leaving no address, on November goth, the same day that Gold and Campbell left here for the north. But Pearson's friends satisfied the officers that he had no possible connection either di- rectly or indirectly with the crime. He had merely been told about it, and thereupon dreamed out theory of the way the crime had been committed, a theory, by the way, that nearly every body in Flagstaff believes to be abso- lutely correct, especially because the sketch made by Pearson as result of his dream accurately portrayed reg ion that he had never seen and showed definitely where Schwab was buried and where a few days later his body was accidentally found.
 The dreams further portrayal of the sale of the car by the murderers in or near Roosevelt was the chief reason why the sheriff's office has been so busily seeking traces of the car in that section.
 The officers did not go north, how ever, for the purpose of looking up the dreamer, but because they believ ed there was a good chance that one Leroy Bell, in jail at Grand Junction, Colo, charged with larceny, was the murderer of Schwab. They took Joe Bender with them to identify Bell.
 Bender, on the forenoon of April 18th, the day that Schwab was last seen alive, saw Schwab start off for Winslow in his Chandler car, accom- panied by a man. That night he saw this same man drive back through Flagstaff alone in the Chandler car.
 When Leroy Bell was arrested the particulars were published in one of the Salt Lake papers. Some one in Utah sent a copy of the paper anony- mously to City Marshall R. L. Neill, marking the article about Bells ar rest and writing on the margin: Look this man up."
 Neill showed the paper to the coun- ty officials. The postmark on the en- velope containing the marked paper was not clear and the name of the town from which it was sent could not be deciphered. But it had been mail ed from some postoffice in Utah.
 Thinking there might be something in the anonymous tip, County Attor- ney Gold wrote to the officials at Grand Junction, Colo, where Bell was in jail, asking for photographs of the man. He received three. Bender felt pretty positive that the man in the photographs and the man he had seen with Schwab and later alone with Schwab's car were one and the same; though Albert Peck, who also saw the man, did not agree with him. How ever, to be sure, the officers and

Kansas City Stock Yards,
 November goth, 1920. Cattle Trade Slow, Prices Lower.
 Sheep Higher.
 Chicago's run of 33,000 cattle and liberal receipts at other markets gave new weak turn to the cattle mar ket Here, trading opened slowly at weak to 25 cents lower prices, and showed no material improvement dur ing the day. The bulk of the offerings came from range states and were suit able for stock and feeding purposes. Hog prices were 10 to 15 cents above last weeks close, showing the first rally in nearly two weeks. Sheep and lambs were strong to 9 cents higher.
 Beef Cattle.
 Though the per cent of fat cattle in proportion to total receipts of cattle was small, there was large supply in Chicago, and killers were indifferent. Here prices were 15 to 25 cents lower and the lowest of the year; Quality of the offerings from killers point was ordinary. The best steers were short fed and sold at $11.00 to $12.25. Nothing full fed or in the Christmas order was offered. Grass fed steers sold at $6.5O to $10.5O, mostly $7.50 to $8.50. Trade in cows and heifers showed no more activity than steers. Prices for fat grades ranged from $500 to $7.50, heifers S5.50 to $500, and "canners" $3.25 to S4.25. Veal calves were steady. The range move- ment will end in the next two weeks, and the movement of short fed cattle is slow in starting.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Demand for stockers and feeders was small. Receipts were liberal and prices lower Good to choice range feeders at $7.25 to $825, and fair to good $6.5O to $7.25. Stockers brought $4.50 to $7.50, stock cows and heifers $4.00 to $6.25, and stock calves $650 to $S.50.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 Sheep prices which have been unus- ually low, were up 25 cents today, and lambs were quoted stronger than last weeks close. The bulk of the offer- ings, fed lambs, brought $10.75 to $11 .25, and ewes sold at $4.25 to $500. Yearlings and wethers were lacking. Trade in stock and feeding grades was dull.s

SCOUT ROUTE FOR NEW
 COSNINO-FLAG. ROAD

Supervisors Charlie Woolfolk and Fred Caring and Supervisor-elect Wm. H. Campbell put in yesterday and the day before looking over the route for new road from Cosnino south of the railroad to the Cliff Dwellings. The tentative plan is to cross at Winona, coming east, then turn across the tracks south again at Cosnino. It is is said that the route is mostly on a ridge, that road there will be easy to build and that there is only one wash to cross-the River de Flag.

Jazz Fails to
 Affect Argentine

Buenos Aires, April 9.-The Ar genuine has hetained it's affection for his national dance, the tango, despite the introduction of American "'lazz' music and syncopated melo- dies in the programs of Argentine balls and dances. This was shown during the balls held in recent carnival when tango tunes outnum- bered the fox-trot and one-step in a proportion of three to one. Several American waltzes, however, are very popular. The Argentines call the syncopated music "Yanqui" tunes. -.
 Some native musicians have grown nch composing tangoes. One of the most popular here is called "Pan V Agua" (Bread and Water). The ti- tie of another is translated as "Flower of the Mud"

 Alleges Plot
 Cleveland, O., April 9.-A signed statement was issued here tonight by the chiefs of the four big trans portation brotherhoods, saying the present strike of switchmen was ori- ginated to destroy the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Switchmen's Union of North Ameri- ca and that the wage demand later was injected to deceive yardmen throughout the country and promote the "one big union" idea.
 The statement follows:
 "The present strike of men engag- ed in switching service was origi- mated in Chicago by new organ- ! zation that has for it's purpose the destructed Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the switchmen's union and in it's inception had nothing tot do with the wage question, but was q demand for the reinstatement of the leader of this opposition organi- zatlon. After this strike was insti- tuted for this purpose, the leaders of the new organization then injected the wage question for the sole pur- pose of deceivng the yardmen <hru- out the United States and promoting the "one big union" idea. There can be no settlement of pendingi wage questions while this illegal ac- tion continues. l
 "We insist that every member of these brotherhoods do everything within their power to preserve their existing contracts, which, if abro- gated may take years to rebuild. The laws of all of these organizations provide penalties for members en- 1 gazing in illegal strikes and these will be enforced"
