Butter, Egg and Poultry
Straightforward Strong
Eastern and Chicago Consumers
Are Keeping Stocks on Hand
at About Normal

The live poultry movement has
been just about equal to the de-
mand, both in Chicago and New
York. There have been some
slight fluctuations, but the mar
ket has had a steady tone through
out.
There is steadier tone to the
egg market, with a good consum-
ing demand. The present price Of
eggs is very attractive to the con-
sumner and should continue so as
eggs make a very reasonably pric-
ed food. There has been practical
ly no storing of eggs thus far
throughout the Central West.
, The butter market eased a
little last week at large consum-
ing centers, but the demand con-
tinues good and at present shows
little more strength and higher
values.
The dressed poultry market re-
mains practically unchanged.
While receipts of fresh dressed
poultry have not been heavy and
under ordinary conditions would
have advanced in price, the iber-
al supply channels, has prevented
any advance. Frozen poultry at
the present price should be at
tractive to the consuming trade.

$3.50 Damage
to Parish House
Department Called to St Paul's
Church Tuesday Evening
Blaze Started in Basement

Tuesday evening at about ten
o'clock the local fire department
was summoned to the Parish
House of St. Paul's church to ex-
tinguish a blaze which had gained
considerable Roadway in the base
ment of the house before being
detected and which in the course
of a few minutes would have re-
suited in a serious confiagration.
The fire broke out in large
waste box located in one corner
of the basement about ten feet
distance from the furnace. The
blaze spread rapidly to a large cup
board filled with canned fruit
which stood near the box. A por-
ton of the basement ceiling was
DESTROYED and the hard wood floors
of the first story were damaged
before the fire was checked. In
the efforts to determine the origin
of the fire, chief George Fish says
spontaneous combustion within
the waste box was the probable
cause.
The loss is estimated at about
$4,000; $500 to the building and
$3.50 on furnishings. The writer
understands the loss is fully COW
cred by insurance.

men Frank Pangburn and A.. G..
Salmond will expire. All have
been efficient officials. The Her
aid has not learned whether any of
the gentlemen will stand for re-
election or not.
Mayor Whitson reported that
the bootlegging industry in the
city wasincreasing to such an ex-
tent that it had become a real
menace, and recommended that an
ordinance be passed which will
give the city power to cope with
the situation. County Attorney
Quigley has become disguised with
the attempt to prosecute LIQUOR
Wolators in the county because of
lack of cooperation of theofficials
throughout the county.

Doheny Oil Lease
Obtained by Fraud

Washington, Feb. 2S-Ed-
ward L. Doheny must give up
the naval oil leases and con-
tracts awarded him when Al
bert B. Fall was secretary of
the interior.
Nor will he receive the
money he spent in attempting
to carry the agreement into
effect.
In an opinion amounting to a
complete victory for the gov
eminent, the supreme court
held today that the agree
ments not only were tainted
by fraud but that Falls leas-
ing policy under which they
were granted was illegal.
1t was under this. same policy
that the Tea Pot Dome lease
was given, to Harry F. Sinclair
although the suit to cancel
that lease was not directly in
volved in today's findings.
The opinion of the court
was announced by Justice
Butler and there was no dis
sent. 1t completely confirmed
the findings of the court of
appeals holding that the Do
heny leases and contracts are
invalid and that Doheny is en-
titled to no compensation.
