"When it is, considered that the

TRYING ARMOUR

Kansas City, Mo-, March 27.-
With J. Ogden Armour of Chicago,
president of Armour & Co., sub
poenaed as a witness, the federal
department of agriculture's hearing
of charges against the packing
company was scheduled to open
here today.
Charges of monopolistic practices
in the conduct of the Mistletoe
yards here, tending to depress the
price of hogs and interfere with
an open and competitive market,
were brought against the Armour
company on Jan. %, 1922, by ]. P.
Swift and Frank Witherspoon, live
stock commission men, acting for
the Kansas City livestock exchange.
Violations of the federal packer
stockyards control act of 1921 is
charged. Under the provisions of
that act the hearing is being held
before a commissioner of the de,
partment of agriculture, ]. T.

Thirty-nine associations of stock
producers and farmers associa-
tions have joined the local live
stock exchange in the charges
against the Armour company.

TREATY TANCLE

Washington, March 81. - Two
methods of clearing up the tech
nical senate tangle over the four
power Pacific treaty and its two
supplements were under consider
alton today by Republican leaders
while the senate continued debate
on the supplementary measure ex-
Guiding the Japanese mainland
from the scope of the four-power
treaty.
Adoption of separate resolutions
ratifying the supplemental declara-
ton, including inundated islands
and excluding democratic questions
from operation of the four-power
treaty, was one method. The other
plan was inclusion in the resolu-
ton ratifying the Japanese main
land treaty of the reservations af-
fecting the inundated islands and
domestic questions.
Ratification of the Japanese main
land supplementary treaty within
a few days was predicted. Informal
canvasses today, it was said, dis
closed that the ratification vote
probably would be larger than that
which approved the four power
treaty. A number of Democrats
who opposed the four-power meas
ure, it is believed, would vote for
the supplement excluding the jap
anese mainland. @

RADICALS SLAY
IN STREETS OF.
MEXICO SUNDAY

Mexico City, March 27.-(By the
Associated Press) - Five persons
were killed and IL seriously wound
ed in clashes at Guadalajara, state
of Jalisco, yesterday between radi-
Gals and Catholic groups, according
to the best available information
here.
The radicals are reported TO have
attacked pedestrians and motorists
indiscriminately, the climax being
reached when they met a group of
Catholic workmen who atteded a
labor meeting.
The workmen were insulted and
attacked, and when they took refuge
in a nearby church, the building was
fired upon by the radicals. The
hody of one victim was found in
the church.
The radicals began their demon
stration shortly after noon when
the usual Sunday profession of au-
tomobiles was in progress around
the main plaza of the city. All
traffic was stopped. while numer-
Gus occupants of the cars were
forced to alight and salute red and
black flags, most of which were
carried by female radicals. The po-
lice were unable to cope with the
situation and federal troops were
rushed to the scene to restore or
der.
