Referring to the policy of the de-

the report goes on: Our erforts have
been directed mainly to assisting ana
encouraging the banks in meeting the
trying situation that has confronted
them during the past year We
have endeavored to build up the
strength of the banks by a policy of
constructive criticism.
Had this department adopted an
uncompromising attitude toward the
banks and pursued policy of
rigidity with reference to frozen

COURT DECISION
FAVORS BRANDS
ON RANGE COWS

PHOENIX, Nov. 15.-(P-The state
supreme court in a decision handed
down today affirmed the general prin-
ciple of law that buyers who do not
brand their cattle with their own
brands have no possessive rights
against the claim Of one who may
have lent money on the purchased cat
lie in the belief that they belonged to
those from whom the new owner had
bought
The opinion reverses "a Judgment
given by Superior Judge Nj. r. Phelps,
then of ella county, in favor of J. S.
King against L. T.. Marvel and Dewey
w. Wightman.
The question propounded by the
court was: Can the buyer of range
cattle under a verbal sale leave them
as also the increase, in tn grange of
the seller in the brands of the seller
and clai mthem against a mortgagee
or purchaser who has, in good faith
and without notice, loaned money on
them or purchased them from the
seller? The court answered in the
negative. Evidence adduced at the
trial showed that King lived on the
OI one t1SHTy MOuuCS anu MS
wife and was the owner of 80 unpat-
ented mining claims over which the
Mounce cattle ranged. In return for
watering and sailing them, the
Mounces in 1914 gave King four head
of cattle and their natural increase.
The Mounce brands, said the opinion,
were left on the original four head
and placed on the increase. This ar
given in 1920 and 1924 by 1he MouRces
on their whole herd, estimated at be-
tween 500 and 1900 head, were fore
closed by the Wightmans. King gath
cred IL head, claiming them as part
Of the original four and their increase,
put j. l.. brand on them and fenced
them in. Wightman's employees open
ed the enclosures, took the cattle out
and drove them away.
King brought suit for 25 head, val
ued by him at $S75, and Judge Phelps
gave judgment in his favor for six
cows, four yearlings and three calves
in the sum of 1856. In reversing the
decision the higher court opined that
while the statute does no. require in
terms that the owners of range stock
adopt a brand with which to brand
his animals, we think the Legislative
policy is such as to encourage it. 1t
is the only practical method of identi-
flying ownership. :. ;"

Hardships Of Railroads
in Mountain Area Cited
in Freight Rate Case

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. lb.-A9
Rocky mountain snow storms and
the hardships of railroading up one
Hill and down another were cited here
today as justly prejudicial to pleas of
southwestern cottonseed crushers for
reduced freight rates to western mar
ketS.
Testifying before an interstate COM
merce commission hearing, F. ]. Toner,
representing the Denver and Salt Lake
railroad, now in receivership, said that
line would be injured by any rate re-
duction He told how the road has to
fight winter with expensive snow
plows, extra engines and augmented
train crews There would be no in
crease in tonnage to compensate for
reduced rates, he declared.
The hearing was adjourned today
unsil February IA. At that time one
day will be devoted to testimony from
transcontinental railroads, after which
two weeks will be allowed California

duction to present their case.

May 10, 1847. His father, John Young,
was the oldest son of Jesse Younsy,
one of the earliest settlers in Indiana.
Jesse Young's ancestors came from
England and settled near Baltimore
in 1880. Lafe Young vas also a di.
rect descendant Of Commodore Bar
ney, a distinguished office of the
revolutionary war.
Young spent his boyhood on the
farm in Monroe county. When ne
was Is years old, he tried to join his
cider brothers by enlistlrg for service
III the Civil war, but was rejected
on account of his youth, He then
decided to learn the printing trade
and became an apprentice ir A1bia.
Later he went to st. Louis as a
journeyman printer 1t was in Abba
that he had his start as a printer
editor. Out of his small salary IN
st. Louis printing houses he saved
enough money to start on his career
as an editor. He went to Atlantic,
Ia, and his first formal newspaper
enterprise was the Atlantic Telegraph,
which he founded. Here, also he got
his start in politics and for 12 years
served his district as state senator.
When Young first went to Des
Moines he was a reporter on the Dos
Moines Register which then was own
ed and published by F.. NJ. Mills.
His first effort as news writer
was an interview with General w. H..
Sherman, who was visiting his brother
at his home in Des Moinea.
In 1890 he became owner and
published of the Des Mones Capital.
For the first few years he was the
personal boss and master hand IN
all departments. He installed ana
operated presses he was the bes.
printer in the shop, and in addition
to this work he conducted the news
department, wrote editorials and az
tended to the business of advertising
and circulation
This tremendous Investment in per-
sonal energy soon began to bear fruit
Young's newspaper grew and pros
pered. Des Moines began a period of
vigorous growth and as the city ex-
panded, Lafe Young expanded His
paper doubled several times in size
and circulation. But even when the
mammoth, high-speed presses came,

pride in his technical knowledge of

verdict of annulment by the diocesan
court of Southwark.
ONCE LOVED AN AMERICAN


LONDON, Nov. Is. = (P) The Daily
Mail in its account of the Marlborough
marriage annulment says it was stated
before the diocesan court OF Southwark
that when Consuelo Vanderbilt mar
ried the Duke of Marlborough she was
in love with an American. The mother
opposed this match and wished the
daughter to contract a brilliant mar
riage.
Part of the evidence submitted to
the court, adds the Mail, consisted of
letters to Consuelo from her American
admirer whom, but for her mothers
orders and other pressure, she would
have married.
The Daily Mail goes on to say that
the mother, Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont,
and other witnesses corroborated this.
1t is the understanding of the Mail
that Consuelo wishes to remarry Col
onel BALKAN in accordance with the
rites of the Roman Catholic church,
as annulment of her Marlborough
marriage does not automatically sane
tify the existing Balsan marriage,
which was performed in a registrar
office and in an English church. 1t
was therefore not valid from a Ro-
man Catholic point of view, inasmuch
as the marriage of Catholic and a
Protestant can be contracted only
after a special dispensation by Rome.
