attacked from the rear by Hin. The
fight waxed furiously from the oper-
ating room of the hospital and through
the corridors to the front steps OF the
institution where Martin succeeded in
battling his antagonists to a finish.
In the melee sheriff Martins gun
dropped TO the fioor and was rccov-

men were then forced into their own
machine and made TO drive to the

wounds consisted OF a bad cut over

penetrated clear through TO the gum
and n cut behind the right ear. All
OF the wounds necessitated several
stitches to close them up. Accord

Sheriff Martin's1 wounds apparently
were inflicted by sharp instru-

condition prevented him from telling

In the meantime George Masse re-

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
ISSUED BY BALF0UR
TO AMERICAN PEOPLE

Washington. Dec. 23 (by the
Associated Press) Arthur J..
Balfour, head OF the British
arms conference delegation to-
night issued the following
Christmas message to the AM
erican people:
" welcomed the opportunity
which has been granted me Of
sending Christmas greetings to
my American trienus, known
and unknown.
IF this be the season which
above all Others, suggests
thoughts of peace on earth
and good will towards men,
surely there are no nations be-
tween whom that peace should
be more secure and that Great
Britain will be more ardent
than the two great peoples of
English speech. Such has al
ways been my faith; and never
did it seem nearer complete
realization than at a moment
when under American leader
ship, SO much is being done to-
wards diminishing armaments
and removing causes of inter-
national offense.
"a Christmas tide so spent
should be the surest prelude to
a happy new year."

Claim PROBE OF high PRICES
OF MEAT LOOKS like A smoke
SCREEN TO hide TRUSTS Sins
Retailers Find Fault With the Investigation
Ordered By Daugherty; Urge Prosecution
of "Big Five" and Their Subsidiaries for Al
legged Violation of Sherman Law.
(By THE AssOUATED PRESS J

New York. Dec. 23,-The Anal
gamated Association of Meat Cut
ters and Butcher Workmen made
public tonight letter to Attorney
General Daugherty, asserting that
the investigation he has ordered of
the high prices charged by retail
ers looks like smoke screen to
cover up the sins of the beef trust"
The letter stated that the attor-
ney general had failed to acknowl-
edge q previous communication
urging investigation and prosecu-
tion of the big five" packing firms
and their subsidiaries in New York
for violation of the Sherman law
"by limiting the slaughter of live
stock through control of all avail
|able slaughtering space in New
York and Jersey City"
I'VE stated further" the letter
added. that by this control the
big five had been able to main
tain prices at a profiteering level.
We urged you to institute an i'm
mediate investigation and prose-
cution and we offered to lay before
you all the facts in our possession.
We have received to date not even
an acknowledgment of our letter
nor has any agent of the depart
ment of justice called upon us to
investigate the charges we have
made.
Instead we read in this morn
ing's newspapers that you have
publicly charged the retail mer-
chants of the country with the
guilt of high food prices and have
ordered William ]. Burns to in
vestigate the iniquities of small
shop keepers.
Coming at a time when the en-
tire nation is aroused over the at
tempts of the packing Interests to
