Chicago, May Sin a game play
cd against the expressed desire Of
the ornery weather man and as I'M
settled as himself. the Cubs yes
terday suffered their fifth straight
defeat and again by narrow mar
gin Of 4 to 3.
Pittsburgh's league leading Buc-
cos came up from behind lead of
two runs obtained by the Cubs in
the early innings, tied it in the
sixth, tied again in the eighth, and
finally won it.
This was in no sense due to su-
periority in any department of play
just one Of the breaks that keep
avoiding the hustling Cubs. The
Cubs hit well, fielded prettily. and
Speed Martins pitching was in ev-
cry way satisfactory. but the old
ink with some difficulty put it over
again.
An instance Of the tight play of
the Cubs developed in the fourth
inning. when the Pirates were fair
ly dizzy to put something over, hav-
ing had but one hit TO nourish
them up to that time. Cutshaw led
of with a slashing double. went to
third as Whitfield flied to Maisel,
and did no stirring from there
when Tierney flied out in deep left.
BARRIERS beautiful throw to the

Grimm nearly beheaded Martin

Farmers May Fight Stockyards

a INSTABILITY of farmers establishing their
~ own selling agencies at the principal livestock
markets Of the country was considered last
week by the livestock committee of IS members
of the American Farm Bureau Federation. meeting in
Chicago.
Should the agriculturalists make this move it
would preciptate in all probability fight almost
bitter as that IN which the federation forces are
engaged with the Chicago board of trade and other
grain exchanges. However, the farmer "is determined
to save himself money, matter who is hit, Prof,
Herbert w. Munford, secretary of the committee. de-
clared. .s.
He intends to establish his commission
houses" said Munford "As it Is his organiza-
tions are admitted membership the livestock
exchanges. He wants to know about how stock
handled marketed and forth, and he has right
to know.
He has suffered losses because of the tremendous
receipts at markets one day and extremely light
ceipts the next.
"In one day last fall the producers lost about
100000 on hog shipments because too many carloads
reached the market that day. By equalng receipts
price fluctuations would take such wide range.
On June the first farmers selling agency will be
established at the Chicago stockyards.. 1t will be
known as the Wool Growers company, headed by
A. ]. Knoln, a veteran commission merchant.

THE American group OF the ter-parliamentary
union last week chose delegates sit at the
10Th conference of the body to be held in
Stockholm, Sweden, in August. In forwarding the
names to the unions council at Geneva the group took
occasion to set forth what they consider desirable
activities in forwarding the designs of the organza-
ton principally concerned with the settlement Of ques-
tions arising under international law
These were the suggestions:
I. The calling of a third Hague conference
The extension of the principle of international
conciliation as set forth in the and more of
treaties negotiated between the United States and
other powers in 1913, commonly known the Bryan
treates"~
;. The creation Of judicial union Of the nations

treaties Of international law, the breach of inerna
tional obligations, the determination of reparatons,
and the Interpretation of prior decisions passed by
the court OF the union. all be decided by the court
according to the principles Of accepted law and known
equity
4. The continuation of the conferences of the in
ter-paramentary union, not only for these high pur
poses herein forth, but for the additional and by
