MOULTRIE PLANT
ORDERED SOLD
Federal Trade Commission Issues
Following lnvestigation--Is
Clayton Act Violation

WASHINGTON, August 23,-The
Federal Trade Commission yesterday
directed Swift & Company, of Chi
cago, to divest itself of all the capi-
tai stock of the Moultrie Packing
Company, of Mogltrie, Georgia, and
the Andalusia Packing Company, OF
Andaiusia, Ala.,. on the ground that
the acquisition of the stock was in
violation of the Clayton act.
The commission found, it was an
nounced, that Swift & So, in 1917,
acquired by purchase practically the
entire outstanding capital stock of the
Moultrie and Andalusia concerns,
which, it was alleged, resulted in sub
stantial lessening of competition be-
tween these two companies and their
competitors. The deal also resulted,
the commission averred, in the COM
plete elimination of competition be-
tween the two companies themselves.
Swift & Company, under the order
of the commission is also required -
cease from further suppressing COM
petition in trade heretofore existing
between the Moultrie and Andalusia
companies and from further holding,
owning, controlling or operating in
any manner the plants and businesses
of these two concerns.

RAILROAD SITUATION SERIOUS ELLIOTT
irish MILITARY
CHIEF is SLAIN
FROM AMBUSH
Second OF Great Leaders Of New
Free Stale To Be Taken
In 10 Days

LONDON, August 20. tBy As
sociated Press. The assassination
Of Michael Collins at Bandon Cork,
Tuesday, comes directly on the heels
of the announcement by the Irish II
regulars of a policy of ambushes and
raids in their fight against the Free
State government. Collins was shot
down from ambush only few nours
after he was given an ovation by
resident Of Cork.
Within ten days, two of the most
prominent figures in the new Irish
government have been removed by
death. Just ten days ago President
Griffith Of the Dali Eireann, consid-
cred the brains of the new admins
tration, died in Dublin; last night Mi
chael Collins, the Free States mill
tary genius, was killed at the moment
when the dissipation OF the Irregular
forces in the Sc:lth was considered
complete.
Several attacks have been made
against the life of Michael CollinsI
head OF the provisional government
and ommander-in-chief Of the Irish
National army. The latest attempt
was a bombing outrage, when his
car was ambushed last Friday after
noon on the Dublin side of the Still
orgen. The official communication
issued in connection with this attack
did not indicate whether Mr.. Collins
was in the machine at the time The
driver was wounded and the car was
wrecked, bomb and more than a
score of shot being fired.
In Dublin on April II, while Mr.
Collins was on his way home after
having addressed meeting at Mas
County Kildare, he was attacked
by a group Of men, some with rifles,
who rushed his car and opened fire
The Collins party returned the fire
and one Of the assailants was cap
tured. Collins was not injured.
Mr.. Collins, in addition to being
commander-in-chief of the National
army, was finance minister in the
Dali Eireann Cabinet.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, August 25.
Mrs. Mabel Belhardi's dogs paid
with their lives for their faithful
ness to the mistress at whose fright
ened cry when attacked, she says,
by Albert Bise, neighDoring ranch
man, the entire pack Of 18 sprang
on the man and almost tore him
to pieces.
Louis Belardi's dogs had long been
known around the town of Antelope
for their ferocity. On all the ranch
es in the vicinity they were feared,
Belardi and his wife loved them,
however, and though the Belardis
were too poor to feed themselves,
took good care of them.
Bise, whose place adjoined the
Belardis, had been keeping the
couple, according to his own account,
in, enough to eat, but few days
before his death he told Constable
Davis of Antelope that he intended
to cut off these supplies. When
shortly afterward, his body, terribly
mangled, was found in his cabin, it
was suspected that the Belardi dogs
had killed him.
An arrest followed, and after pro-
longed questioning, Mrs. Belardi,
breaking down, confessed, according
to Sheriff Ellis Jones. She and Bise
met at the well used by both ran
ches, according to her alleged con-
fession.
They quarreled, and Bise, she de-
clared, snatching up club, threat
ened to strike her. She cried out,
intending to attract her husband, but
the dogs were first, and before she
could stop them Bise was dead
Then, she loved the dogs so much
that she had tried to hide the facts
to save them from being killed, &C
cording to the story.
A deputy sheriff shot them lie
day after the confession was made
But the authorities are not compfece-
ly satisfied of the truth of the story
and Mrs. Belardi is being held pend
ing action by them.

ginned, the warehouses of the city

bales of the 1921 crop in storage.
The price this morning was % Is

peeted the next 10 days will see the
