Washington, Jan, 26-Armour s
Go, aud tie Fowler Packing com
pany were charged with numerou
violations Of the packers and stock
yards act OF 1921 IN formal complaint
which the Kansas City Liyrstoel
Exchange announced Il had filed late
Yesterday with the Rotary OF agri
culture. This was sa,l 10 be the trsi
complaint formally filed under the
new packer control legislation,
The complaint charges that the
defendants practices include price
liking in its worst form aud are
tending towards an absolute mono
poly in the purchase and slaughter
OF hogs"
The two companies, L Is alleged,
have eonspired aud agreed with Ger,
tain shippers that such shippers shall
have the exclusive right and
privilege Of shipping hogs from
peeiiled loading stations and
territories TO the Fowler Packing
company OF Kansas City and the
said defendants deny TO all other
shippers the same right and privilege
unless satisfactory arrangements

selected by the defendants
Names Kansas Yards.
The defendants. according TO the
complaint. receive, buy, water,
hold, weigh and handle hogs at
the Mistletoe stoekyards in Wyan-
dot,e county. Kansas, in manner
which violates the control act.
In December. the complaint scs
forth the Mistletoe stoekyards re-
ccived 4S.445 hogs compared with
l55.007 received aud sold on the
open competitive market" at Kan
Sas City. This, it was commended,
made Armour & Co. independent
OF the open competitive market and
their hog buying policy is based not
rpon the basis OF light or heavy re-
ceipts at the open competitive mar
ket. but solely on the number of
head received by them direct at the
Mistetoe stockyards." 49,.
Shippers. the plaintiffs said, are in
duced by the defendants with false,
misleading and deceptive statements"
as TO certain savings which do not
exist TO patronize the Mistletoe
stockyards.
Calls Charges Silly.
Chicago, Jan. 26.-A representa-
tive OF Armour & Co.. when in
formed last night OF charges made
against the company and the Fow-
Ter Packing company by the Kansas
City Livestock exchange, character
lied them as SILLY and ridiculous"
Armour & Co. has owned the
Fowler company for years, he said,
and asserted there could be no con-
spiracy between the two companies
which he said, would be equivalent
To Armour & Co. conspiring with
themselves.
"Mistletoc yard at Kansas City is
a private yard owned by the Fowler
Packing company, which, as is gen.
orally known, is an Armour & Co.
plant" the official said. mo conf
men are allowed to operate
on this yard and no yardage charges
are assessed against the shippers OF
hogs. Consequently hog faisers who
consign to Mistletoe yard save COM
and yardage fees"

A FRUIT OF SEASoN.RUSHlNc

DOPULAR demand for the new beach at
1 League Island Park was picturesquely
crystnllized in the very informal use Of the
strand made by bathers last Sunday.
While an infraction Of regulations is not
to be encouraged on general principles, 1t is
evident from the latest developments that
bureaucracy and red tapery were vigorously
jolted by an unexpected rushing of the sea-
son.
The prolonged and pcdantic dispute about
the jurisdiction over the park. one of the nu-
merous instances of the contest between the
Commissioners and the munic .pality, seems
IN fair way to be ended. since Mayor
Moore and Director Caven have been in
specting the operation at the beach. and it
Is announced that Council will shortly be

cLoTURE IN THE SENATE

7NlIE motion to restrict debate on the
i Tariff Bill, made In the Senate on
Wednesday afternoon and to be put to
vote today. was In conformity to rule
passed n few years ago.
That rule provides that II at any time
motion to close debate on pending meas
ure is made ut the instance Of not less than
sixteen Senators, that motion shall be put
to vote without debate on the day but
one following that on which 1t was orig.
inally made. Then II the motion is adopted
by two thirds vote Of those voting the
measure shall become unfinished business
until 1t is disposed Of. Thereafter no Sena-
tor may speak more than one hour inclusive
on the measure, on amendments to 1t and
on motions related to 1t. No amendments
may be submitted save by unanimous con-
sent and no dilatory motion may be made,
and all points Of order shall be decided with
out debate.
Fifty.two Senators have asked that this
cloture rule be applied to the debate on the
Tariff Bill. II there are only seventy eight
Senators voting today ffty-t are enough
to pass the motion.
Tho purpose of the appeal to the rule is
said to be to put on record the Senators
who are seeking to delay the passage Of tho
Tariff Bill for its effect on the congress
sional elections. 1t is an attempt to spike
the guns Of the opposition by holding this
opposition responsible for the delay and by
demonstrating that a clear majority of the
Senate Is prepared to vote on the measure as
soon as It can be pushed through
II the cloture rule is applied there can be
only ninety six hours of debate on it at the
most. No one can filibuster or make dila.

HARDING AND WEEKS AGREE

T1HERE seems to be an impression abroad
i that there is an irreconcilable differ
ence between the remarks on prohibition
made by Secretary Weeks at Columbus, o.,
on June 10. and the remarks of President
Harding at Marion on July !.
Mr.. Weeks. according to the published
reports of his address, said that ''whntever
may be the individual views of citizens on
prohibition there Is no question about the
disouietude resulting from the adoption of
the amendment and the passage of the laws
for its enforcement He said also that 1t Is
impossible to make an abrupt change in
matter affecting the habits of the citizens
without creating violent opposition ana pro-
yoking much criticism of the Government.
This Is n statement of so evident truth
that it is difficult to understand the sensa-
ton that it created. 1t is neither an In
dorsemcnt nor u condemnation OF prohipl-
tion. -,
Mr.. Harding said that the Eighteenth
Amendment should be enforced. ic couid
not very we'll have said anything else II ne
we're going to refer to the matter at all.
Rut he did not say that the Nolstead act
should be continued in force, and he ap-
parently took especial pains to avoid re-
ferrng to that law.
The Volstead act is temporary, amenu
able statute passed to carry out the Prov
sions Of the Eighteenth Amendment 10 the
Constitution. If it Is unsatisfactory IL can
he repealed and a new law passed In its
nlace Mt the discretion Of Congress. Mr.,
Harding is very we'll aware of this, and 1t
NAV be that he expects something of the
kind to happen. after little more ex'
perience with the difficulties in enforcing
the present law, which declares every bever,
age containing more than one half of !
pcr cent Of alcohol to be intoxicating.
There does not seem TO be any radical
disagreement between the expressed views OF
the President and his Secretary OF War.
The Secretary spoke about the dissatisfac'
tion with the prohibtory laws and the
President spoke Of the necessity OF enforc-
ing the provisions of the CONSTITUTIONAL
necessity TO which Mr.. Weeks would agree
IL the matter were put up to him.

AN INDEX OF CIVILIZATION

EVIDENCES of an orderly and INTELLIGENT
IL civilization are sometimes delusive, and
no sooner is self -congratuation begun than
an outbreak of crudties discomfits the opti.
mist.
But there are some indices of improved
habits which are unimpcachable. One Of
these is unquestionably a recorded diminu.
tion of fire losses in a great urban commu
nifty. An exhibit of that kind, which this
city is now privileged to present, denotes NOT
only n reduction of crime, but of ignora nee
and carelessness.

AN ENGLISH NEWBERRY CASE

11HERE is nothing new in the scandal
i over the comforting of peerages in Eng
land. Centuries ago the British Kings gave
titles and estates to their favorites. and the
ol Ter nobility which had received its titles
in n similar way from earlier Kings were
scandalized. They did not welcome the new
recruits to the privileged class. The COM
moners were not particularly Interested in
the matter. for they were not seriously
affected by it. They had nothing to do with
the Government and did not question the
right of the aristocracy to do rs it pleased.
Lloyd George n few years ago. when he
levied heavy taxes upon the estates Of the
nobility, was so bold as to remind the OBJ
jecting mobiles that objection to contribution
to the expenses of government came with
bad grace from them, as they were profiting
by the income from estates which had been
confiscated from the rightful owners and
conferred upon their ancestors by the favor
OF the King. This little dose Of truth ST.
fenced them and he put his taxation plan
through.
As democracy has developed and as the
power of the Parliament has increased titles
OF nobility came to be conferred upon party
fayorites by the party in power. A man
who had made generous campaign con-
tribution was rewarded with peeragc as
that the Prime Minister and his Cabinet
were egarded as the final and ultimate au =
thority in the matter of making peers.
There was sp much talk to this effect in
London a few years ago that King Edward
resented IL and caused his private secretary
to issue n statement that peers were made
by the King and by no one else. This
+ meant, of course, only that the list Of new
peers submitted by the ministry must be
satisfactory to the King. 1t did not mean
that the King would make peers against the
advice of his Ministers.
4 There is a notorious instance of a veto
BY the ministry of a peeragc desired by
King Edward for one of his intimate per
sonal friends. Lord Salisbury was then
Premier. 1t is said that when the King
/, proposed the peerage for his friend Sails
bury announced that II he insisted on it he
would have to get new Prime Minister
