the United States declared the Massa-

Dakota grain grading act invalid in
opinions rendered respectively by AS
sociate Justices McReynolds and Van
Devanter. To each decision, Associ-
ate Justice Brandeis dissented.

posed a burden on Interstate COM
lnerce. This decision is of the utmost
Importance TO every foreign corpora

Surtax Cut to Aid Business

jackson, Miss.-Success or failure of
tax reform involves the welfare and
prosperity of the country, Secretary
of the Treasury Andrew Mellon de-
clared in an address at the annual
convention of the Mississippi Bankers
association. He reviewed the admin

ton or repeal of the estate tax. and
further revision of other features
of the revenue law.
Quoting figures showing that each
reduction in surtaxes has stimulated
business activity and consequent tax
revenues, Secretary Mellon said, ''it Is
obvious we must reform the tax sys-
TEN by lowering the rates to a point
that will bring wealth back under tax
alton and force it to carry its share of
the tax burden"

HOG VALUES REVERT
TO FEBRUARY BASIS
BY Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Chicago, Union Stock Yards, Week
ending May L, 1925.-Uneven distribu-
ton is having an erratic effect on the
fat steer market. The trade is on
hand to mouth basis with large runs
an efficient lever in the hands of buy
ers for breaking prices which are
promptly regained when country load
ings show contraction. A run of ap-
prOximately $4,000 cattle during the
week ending May l broke steer prices
25 to 40c but curtailment was i'm
mediately put into effect and the loss
regained.
Big weight steers topped at $11.30,
averaging 1922 lbs. Common and me-
dunn steers were most numerous at
$S25 to $3.50.
An increased marketward move
ment of swine during the last week
and little display of urgency to buying
orders combined to further reduce
values. Packing sow quotations showed
a 80 to 75c downward revision. Slaugh-
ter pig rates dropped SOC to $1O0.
These recent losses made the reduc-
tiOns since the mid-March bulge aggre-
gate $3.50 to $500. On March IS a
top of $14.60 was reached while the
best late this week topped at $1150.

Shepherds Wife Named
in McCLintock Poison Case

Chicago. = William Darling Shep-
herds wife was named by the coro-
ner's jury as his partner in the muir
der of Billy McClintock and, sixteen
years earlier, of Billy's mother, Emma
Nelson McClintock
The finding of the cOrOner's jury
that ended five-months' investiga-
ton and precipitated a novel situa-
ton in legal annals were:
That Mrs Emma Nelson McClintock
was murdered sixteen years ago by
means of mercurial poisoning;
That William McClintock, her son,
was murdered last December by the
use of typhoid germs;
That William D. Shepherd, admin
istered the mercury to the mother, the
typhoid germs to the son;
That Julia NJ. Shepherd had guilty
knowledge of both crimes;
That the deaths of mother and son
are linked together by a chain of evil
dence calling for most careful and
thorough examination by the states
attorney and the grand jury;
That they were unable to fix the
cause of the death of Dr. Oscar G.
Olson, brother of Chief Justice Harry
Olson.
The jury by its action took official
cognizance of Judge Olson's charge
that a siXteen-year conspiracy had
existed which eliminated in William
McClintock's death after he had
made a will leaving his estate of
nearly 100000 entirely to Shep-
herd.

ex-cOnvict, is in Jail here awaiting a
hearing on the charge of kidnapping.
He had been hunted for week by
more than a thousand armed persons.
Rewards were offered for his seizure,
dead or alive, and the mountains for
miles around had been searched by
posses and militiamen ready to fire on
sight. for Woodward was supposed to
be a desperate fiend.
In other quarters in jail is eleven
year-Old Lucille Chatterton, daughter
of Woodward's former employer. She
was the supposed victim. But the
story she tells has turned the anger
of the poplIace against Woodward to
sympathy. She says the ex-convict-
the quarry of the hundreds of pur-
suers-took her from home to protect
her from cruelty and guarded her as
brother would in all the long flight.
They were brought here from East
Brookfield.
Physicians who examined the girl
and officials who questioned her say
she was unframed, physically or men
tally.

and Communists in London marched
in Hyde Park to stage demonstrations,
but returned soon in bedraggled condi-
ton because of heavy showers They
then tried to march to the Bulgarian
legation to demand the liberation of
political prisoners, but police turned
them aside without any trouble.
Mexico City.-A girl was shot and
killed and several persons were
wounded in a clash between Com

of Russia stood still on Friday while
endless legions of workers, soldiers,
Communists, and boy and girl scouts,

tories were closed, the workers being
given a three-day holiday.
