THE DOsTER TRIAL

The trial OF Maud Doster for murder
has been the subject OF gossip In Dem
ing for the past week and many a good
husbandman has gone with scant ra'
lions while the housewife attended the
sessions Of the court. A murder trial
is always tragic, hence interesting, and
a woman on trial for her life for the
killing Of a man is alluring In dramatic
detail Add to this the spice OF Illicit
relations and IL leaves nothing TO be
desired In the way Of morbid attrac-
zion.
The results are, however, discourag.
ing 10 homicide; 1t is apparent that
killing in this section OF the country,
even by women. is not to become n
popular sport. No one, 1t Is to be
supposed, wanted TO see the Doster
woman hung, and her able attorneys,
Hamilton and Sherman, saw to 1t that
she wasn't.
However, the prosecution Is 10 be
congratulated on the yindication OF the
law. II is unlikely that verdict OF
murder In the first degree could ever
have been gotten In local court, but
the jury vote shows very plainly that
the Doster woman could never have
been legally justified.

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET

Kansas City Stock Yards, May g.
Lives took receipts today at the vari-
Gus Western markets were the largest
in more than two months past. The in
crease in the supply was due to i'm
proved shipping conditions and the fact
that many Of the offerings today would
have been on the market in April had
not the switchmen's strike interrupted
the movement. Though demand showed
larger volume than early last week,
buyers were afforded ample opportun-
ity TO operate at steady to lower prices.
Cattle were steady to 80 cents lower,
hogs 10 to % cents, and sheep steady
to 10 cents lower. With a decline last
week of $50 TO 81 in grass sheep and
lambs and the market lower today,
bovine stock seems TO be seeking Il
nearer normal level compared with
cattle and hogs.
Today's Receipts
Receipts today were 1900 cattle,
10000 hogs and 10000 sheep, compared
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1920-05-11

with 5000 cattle, 1000 hogs aud $500
sheep week ago, and 1000 cattle,
14,600 hogs and 10,5O0 sheep year ago.
Beef Cattle
Though cattle receipts were liberal
today. improved shipping conditions
gave a much wider outlet TO the sup
Iply than lighter offerings last week.
and the market was steady for some
good TO choice steers In nearly all
weights and 10 TO 30 cents lower ON
plain yearlings and strong weight
classes. Butcher cattle were steady to
% cents lower and calves weak. Good
TO choice steers sold at 1925 TO $13,
Gamer cows $3.50 TO $3.50, fat cows
IS 10 $11.25, yearling steers S11.50 10
1910, and heifers up to $3.50. In
the quarantine division steers cold 10
1925 TO 5000. Veal calves brought
so TO $3.50.
Stockers and Feeders
Prices for stockers and feeders were
not changed, compared with last week.
but the demand was larger. At the
same time. receipts were the largest
for some time past and Indications
are that both incoming and outgoing
shipments will soon be normal. Be
cause OF lower prices for fat steers, a
good many prospective buyers are hold
ing off.
Hogs
Hog prices today averaged 10 TO 10
cents lower than Saturday and 10 to
20 cents under Friday. The top price
S14.50. was paid by packers for light
weight hogs, and the bulk OF the offer
ings sold at $13.75 TO Si4.25. The price
spread is showing narrowing ten
dency and while light weights still
command premium, heavy grades are
not as plentiful as few weeks ago,
and they are more attractive TO pack
ers. Stock hogs and pigs continue in
active demand.
Sheep and Lambs
The bulk of the arrivals today were |
south Texas grass fat sheep that sold |
at $3.50 to Sl050, or fully "a cents |
under last week. Today's supply was |
the first liberal run of the season. /
Fed wooded almbs sold at $3.50 TO $40, |
and these offerings were about the |
final shipments from northern sections
Horses and Mules
Receipts Of horses and mules were
and on that account trade was
limited. Shipping conditions now jus
tify larger receipts.

THE DEMING SPIRIT

During the war Deming had an army
environment. Some people said: Get

words to that effect, "for they won't be
here long" But Demings merchants
didn't do that. They charged the sol
diers just what they charged other peo-
pie And the increases In prices that
were made were based on cost TO the
Deming merchants and not ON war
created condition which many communi-
ties felt entitled them to profiteer.

ma position of the American govern
inert stNat -the Turks SHOULD be ex-
(sspelled afOm Europe, is .restated in a
note to- the Allied supreme council,
which has been prepared atsthe state
department and which will be trans
United o The note. Will bear the
of cambridge Colby. the
new secretary of state, n will be
the first diplomatic paper to be
signed by him..
h communication is in reply to
an inquiry from the French and Brit
ish governments as to this country's
views on the Turkish settlement. An
early announcement at the depart
ment said the note had been dis
patched, but it developed that this
was erroneous.
The position of the American gov
ernment is understood to be that
there lis no sound reason for retain
ing the Turkish capital in Europe.
The United States is said to take the
view that the contention that expul-
sion of the Turks might be resented
by the Mohammedans Is not sup
ported by the facts, since the war i'll
the Near East was won largely by
the aid of Mohammedans.
The United States. it is understood,
desires that Armenia be set up as an
independent state and that it en-
brace as mush territory as the Ar
menian government can control. It
also takes the. position that any ar
rangement that is made with regard
to Turkey should guarantee to all
nations equal opportunities for COM
perce' and that no b%elligerent should
be given paramount claims in n
part of the Near East.
The position Of the United States,
rangement for the government Of
Constantinople and the Turkish
states a place for the participation
Of Russia should be made as the
American government is convinced
that. no plan Of settlement can 4be
successful in the. long run which does
not take into account the interests
Of Russia in the matter.

pile up in the river and this together
