HEAnING BEGINS
At \. c. AGAINST
ARMOUR AND co.
Concern Is Charged With.
Illegal Practices in the
Operation OF the MiStle-
toe Stock Yards.

Kansas City, Mo, March ~
Opening statements were presented
and the introduction of testimony
began late today in the case of the
Kansas City Live ock eXchang
and others against Armour and
company charging Illegal practices
lin the operation of the Mlstletoe
stock yards here.
T.. w. Houx, president of the
Kansas City Livestock exchange,
was the first witness called by the
plaintiffs.
Hearings are before Judge b. NJ.
Hainer, commissioner of the federal
department Of agriculture,
Hogs are bought by the Fowler
Packing company at the Mistletoe
yards here direct from the pro-
ducers. The Fowler company rs
is owned by the Armour Packing
company. 1t is the contention of
the plaintiffs that the operation OF
the Mistletoe yards tends to depress
the prices Of hogs on the open
market at Kansas City, that the
prices paid at the Mistletoe yards
are arbitrarily fixed and interfere
with an open and competitive mar
KtL anu COISllllNt till CAlCib ~ ~
Armour company to control hos
prices paid here.
The Armour company in the
opening statements of counsel today
denied the charges, asserted that
the Mistletoe yards are private, not
public stock yards under the 1921
federal law. and that the real mo-
tive of the Kansas City Livestock
exchange is to prevent any direct
buying of livestock from producers
and force all producers to pay com
missions to commission firms.
Testimony this afternoon dealt
largely with how much weight is
gained by hogs receiving a "filP' OF
corn and water as against the
amount gained by hogs receiving
only water 1t is the contention OF
the livestock exchange that the
practice at the Mistletoe yards is
to water and not feed the hogs, and
that the producer loses the benefit
of several pounds added weight
thereby.
Judge Hainer announced before
the taking of testimony began that
he would give both sides oppor-
tunity to present evidence and ar
guments at length il it required one
or two weeks for the hearing. The
questions at issue, he declared, are

most modern in construction be-
tween Kansas City and San Fran

I'VE have had the building un-
der consideration for some time"
j. M. Reynolds president of the
First National bank, stated last
night when discussing the build
ing plans. The bank has complete
ly outgrown its present quarters
and, with the exception of the
lobby, will occupy the entire
ground floor of the new build
ing"
The banking space will be 1872
by 75 feet. This will be divided
into proper spaces for the various
departments and Officers necessary
to the operation of the bank.
1t Is probable that the space i'm
the lobby will be used for a cigar
and flower store. Barber shop
and other convenient businesses
will be located in the building.
which will also be supplied with
several small parlors and other
conveniences for the public.
Many of the office spaces in the
remaining stories of the nine-story
structure have already been leased.
The offices are Of the most mod
ern design, running in convenient
suites or single rooms. All are TO
DO well ventilated and lighted and
easily accessible to the elevators.
IL is understood that the space will
be leased by the square foot Of in-
SIDE office measure, as is the GUS
tom in most of the modern build
lngs in the larger cities.
THE building will be the first
large office and bank building in
Albuquerque,' Mr. Reynolds re-
marked last night. ut will have
a great amount of office space. but
we feel sure Of the city ana feel
that there is not an immediate de.
mand for such a building, but that
in the very near future there will
be a strong demand for similar
buildings in order to accommodate
the business activities of the city,

now located on the lot
will start within few days in orr
der that the contractor may begin

MR. ROUTE PL AN
Of SEC'Y. WEEKS
Step viii Be Taken as a
Measure of National De-
Tense; viii Send Planes
Under Their Own Power.
lns The Assoelated press.l }

Washington, March 27.-Plans
for early establishment OF an air
route to the Panama canal zone as
"a measure Of national defense are
being made by the war department
Secretary Weeks announced today
When landing places have been sur
veyed and selected, he said army
planes will be sent TO the zone un-
der their own power.
81 regard the canal zone ann
Hawaii as the two most important
posts the army has Mr.. Weeks
said.
The secretary said he had re-
peatedly told congress committees
that he would not be reponsible for
ANY reduction in the garrisons Of
these posts as was proposed by the
house appropriations committee as
an economy measure in framing
the army appropriation bill.
"In fact" Mr.. Weeks continued,
Fl believe it is the unanimous opin-
ion of the army that both garrisons
should he increased"
The proposed restriction of the
appropriation bill designed to COM
pei the war department to reduce
the garrisons was stricken out OF
the measure on the floor of the
house.
Loss Of the army dirigible Roma
has prevented experiments with
that type of craft as an airplane
carrier. he added, which appeared
to him to be probably The most
promising military use for lighter
than air craft of great size The
plan for despatching planes under
their own power has been worked
out since the loss of the Roma.
