connection with the Wall street bomb
explosion in New York in September.
1920. Lindenfeid has fully confessed
the authorities say, naming the ring
leaders in the plot which, he declared,
was aimed at j. p. Morgan, the infer

According to Sylvester Cosgrove and
Paul Altendorf, who trailed Lindenfeld
the suspect has named five principals
in the plot, row in Europe, who re-
ceived $30.N00 from the Moscow Third

muniStS. Lindenfeld has declared his
willingness to return to New York as
soon as ossible and turn states evil
dence The Polish authorities say he
was exposed in 1906 as Russian Sec
ret agent and fled to America at that
time, returning to Europe last spring.
Altendorf came to Europe in Febru-
airy last, while Lindenfeld came over
in March During the summer Alien
dorf, living in various communiStiC
centers, obtained a clew which led him
to seek Lindenfeld's acquaintance. As
a result, Cosgrove arrived in Warsaw
two months ago, posing as having con-

America. and was introduced to Lin
denfeld by Altendorf. After eStab-

spies working against the Interests OF

NEW CABINET HEAD Is CHOSEN
LANG Shi-Yi Succeeds Chin Yun-Penp
As Premier Of Chinese Gov.


Pekin-Liang SM-Yi has been named
premier of the Chinese cabinet to sue
coed Chin Yun-Peng, who, with all his
ministers, resigned on Sunday. The
fall of the cabinet followed the arrival
here of General Chang Tsao-Lin gov
ernor of Manchuria, who is now en-
gagged in forming a coalition govern
ment in which all the reactionary par
ties are participating. 1t is charged
that Chin Yun-Peng was guilty of Pc
culations and the sale Of offices.
The new premier is credited with
having inspired the attempt by Yuan
Shi-Kai to create himself emperor in
1918. Among those in General Chang's
following are Wang Chang Yuen, form
err military governor of Hupeh and
Chang Chin-Yao, who was governor Of
Human povrince at the time of the
murder Of Rev. w. A Reimert, an
American missionary, in June, 1920.
The American legation demanded that
he be held responsible for the crime.
The legation is said to be preparing a
protest against his presence in Pekin
at the present time.

LIVESTOCK AID IS

SAYS JOHN M. MacFARLANE

Markets to Provide Per-
manent Relief

Salt Lak-"Aid given livestock in
terests of the West by the War FL
nance corporation is only postponins
an evil day. 1t Is a temporary meas
ure and unless better markets can be |
had, together with better prices, cat |
tlemen may as we'll liqudate in favor |
Of the banker and 60 to work on state |
roads" These in brief are the re-
marks Of John NJ. MacFalane promin-
ent Utah stockman, made in an address
at the session Of the third annual con-
vention of the Utah Cattle and Horse
Growers association held at the Hotel
Utah Monday.
Aid being furnished by the finance
corporation was heartily commended,
but its benefits cannot be but tenn
porary unless better markets for Utah
stockmen's products are obtained. The
spread between 10 and 40 cents which
the packers and the retailers receive
for their wares is too great and can
be controlled only by organization of
the stockraiser, continued Mr.. Mac.
Farlane.
That the grower get in closer com
munication with the consumer and by
killing his own beef conduct a direct
from producer to consumer business
was among the suggestions offered for
relief of stockmen. Assessments
levied by the state board of eQualiza-
ton are too high, according to ex.
pressions of stockmen at the rOnven.
ton. Cooperation among themselves
and efforts to obtain lower taxes were
suggested as relief methods.
General optimism exists among
stockmen Of the country as to the flu
ture of the livestock industry, John T.
Caine III told the delegates. Mr.. Caine
has recently returned from the Inter.
national Livestock show, held at Chi
cago. The show was the largest in its
history, he said.
Closer cooperation and organization
among stockmen for the purpose OF
combating influences which are ap.
parently working against the industry
was advocated by D. J. Sheehan in an
address on Livestock Problems" The
transportation rates were especially
emphasized. An instance Of one rail.
road which has derived millions OF
dollars from the livestock industry.
Mr.. Sheehan said, was cited and at
tention called to its action of immedi
ately raising freight rates on stock
shipments when the stockman wa.
confronted by the most trying cir
cummstances. Cattle cannot be raised
and sold for 4 and cents per pound
the price many stockmen have beer
forced to take for their products ir
the past few months, declared Mr.
Sheehan.
He condemned the action of rail
roads in withdrawing the thirty-day
limit on contract concession and max.
ing it twenty-four hours. After con.
siderable protest the limit was raised
to seventy-two hours. Cost of pro
