MODERATE CATTLE
RUN ARRIVES AT
LIVESTOCK MARKET
Hog Trade Is Strong With
Most Sales Up S
to 10 Cents.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
Chicago. Sept. 2O.-Cattle supply
was moderate today, but more live
muttons arrived than sellers had OK
pected. In the sheep house the trade
was lower from the start. A little
more than 800 were received by big
killers from other trading points. but
the stock was wet on account OF the
rain during the morning hours. Only
one load of cattle arrived to packers,
while no hogs were billed that way.
Sellers had more than 1900 hogs
held over from the previous session,
but the trade showed strength from
the start. Car report was posted at
1000 for the local yards. Receipts
were 1000 cattle. $4,000 hogs, 32,OOO
sheep and 5000 calves.
Cattle trade was better than some
of the sellers had expected and most
of the good steers went at steady
values. Few choice heavy steers were
offered and not much stuff went above
S1.JO. Quality was not good. Medium
and palmer steers had an uneven mar
ket at somewhat lower values late IN
the session. Western cattle sold fully
steady. About 1000 arrived during
the day. Native cows and heiters
found a fair outlet. Best lots were
fully steady. while plain grades also
held well. Medium stock sold at weak
prices. however. Veal calves made

Hogs were strong from the start,

The professional element was IN
clined TO take in at least part Of its

Elateringburg, Sept. 2O,-Among
the many American senatorial visitors
to Russia this year none made such
remarkable success as did Senator
King of Utah. He has impressed the
Russian public by his irankness, his
transparent honesty and his out
spokeness.
Iswestia, Moscow's great newspaper
recently satirized the multitude Of
American visitors TO Russia this year
in cartoon showing long line Of
senators and newspapermen arriving
at the frontier. The caption read :.
To Russia, to Barbary, with tears
and fears"
Senator King. from the time of his
arrival, showed that he was resolved
to see Russia his own way. He
brushed aside waiting advisers and
sought out obscure but well informed
folk. On one occasion when big
official inspection was arranged he
left his colleagues and went on a tour
of his own.
Il know what the officials viii
say" he remarked.
Visitors from Caucasia tell the cor
respondent that when Senator King
party was given an official banquet
there and the senator was called upon
TO explain why America hesitated to
recognize Soviet Russia, he respond
ed:
when Russia restores individual
freedom, grants free speech, estab-
fishes free press-when she ceases
propaganda abroad and gives world
trade a fair chance. We will consider
the matter"
Russians reply to this attitude by
denying the dissemination of foreig !
propaganda and declaring that Rus
STA affords as much liberty to the in
dividual and the press as America.

writer:
Honest differences. frankly stated,

they think will please us. We know
that when such people leave us they

NO QUESTION AS TO
LULING'S SECOND PAY
SAYS A. WOOLSEY
Geologist Believes No. 4
Tabor Producing From
Deeper Sand.

Luling, Tex, Sept. 2O.-There is
no question about the fact that a sec
ond and deeper pay sand has been dis.
covered by the United North and
South Oil Company in its No. Ia
Dor. in the opinion of A. Woolsey.
we'll known geologist here, 1t was Mr..
Woolsey who made the location for
the discovery well and for several
others of the United North and South.
Following the bringing in of the
No. 4 Tabor of the United North and
South Oil Company recently for big
production after passing the average
pay depth of the field which is SAID
TO be about 2135 feet. there has been
considerable discussion among oil
operators. The No. Tabor encount-
cred sulphur water but drilled to a
depth of about $3.50 feet where the
second pay is said to have been
found. The well is making considerable
water along with the oil but drillers
say they believe they can set wall
packer and shut it off.
There has also been discussion as
to the depth of this well, for at first
it was reported at 2J35 feet and in
the sand ten feet. but later the field
superintendent u tle tHlltu Is Sdlu 10
have stated that the well was only
2400 feet deep.
Geologist Woolsey's expression of
confidence as to the second pay sand
in the field is considered authoritative
A wild cat test near the Luling
field that is attracting considerable
attention is the No. l Whittlesly of
the Fensland Oil Company. which is
reported to have picked up the chalk
at depth of 1900 feet. Drillers have
announced that they will go to $500
feet if necessary. 1t is also announced
that this company will spud in sec.
ond well near its No. l in the near
future. Owners have said that they
believe that good enough oil sand
has already been encountered in the
No. / well and that the second test
will be made on the strength of that
report. ,.
This well is located southeast OF
Iuling near Slayden on the road to
Gonzales.
1t was reported Thursday morning
that the No. 1 Maggie Moore of the
Jarmon Oil Company, south of the
producing area, is setting easing at
PODS feet. The school house well is
also reported setting casing after oil
has shown favorably.

All this show of strength could
be explained on the theory that the

and that German surrender in the
Ruhr was near. The fact is, how
ever, that French bonds were com

TROUBLE AT HERRIN.
Supervisors Alarmed by Wave Of Law
lessness.
By the Associated Press.

Marion, ILL.,, Sept. 20.-The board
of supervisors of Williamson county,
scene of the Herrin mine killings, in
a resolution adopted today, asserted
that 1.-The people are becoming alarm
ed and that serious trouble seems i'm
minent, which is liable to break out
at any moment"
The resolution was in connection
with alleged laxity in law enforce
ment and the feeling said to exist be-
tween members of the Ku klux Khan
and the knights of the Flaming Cir
Gle. an anti-klan organization.
The resolution demanded stricter
enforcement of laws, particularly the
prohibition law, and members of the
board promised their personal cooper
alton to Sheriff George Galligan in
raids.
After declaring that road houses
and resorts were operating openly IN
the county, the resolution said:
at has come to our knowledge
that certain organizations have been
formed in our country. we believe, for
the sole purpose of preventing the en-
forcement of the law, said organiza-
'tions being composed of the lawless
element parading the public highways
and the streets of our city at all
times Of the night, especially in the
vicinity of the law-abiding citizens
who have taken an active part in
trying TO suppress crime and lawless-
ness, shooting guns, and doing vari-
Gus things TO tantaize good people,
even to setting fire to buildings"
Attempts to burn store and resi-
dence in Herrin, owned by proponents
of prohibition. were made fortnight
ago. but little damage was done to
either place. The Herrin city coun-
ell offered a $500 reward for in
formation leading to the arrest of the
"firebugs." but so far no one has
been anprehended.
