that prices for stock on those terms
have all been quite favorable.
1t was the statement of Fuqua that
conditions in almost all other sections
CT the country are identical with Ari-
zona so far as the polity of stockmen
in selling their steer stock young is
concerned "There really are no aged
steers any more in the United States,
at least in large numbers" said he.
The growers have learned that send
ing them to market younger results in
two desirable things. There is quick
er turn of the invested capital with a
better rate of return on the money
and there is better quality of meat
for the consumer in the properly fin
ished younger animal Both are likely
to mean continued benefits for the
grower, because anything that gives
the consumer better product is also
apt to cultivate an increased demand.
1t looks like the stock industry might
reasonably expect a fair share of pros
perity, at least for time yet"
The shipment sold by the Slaughter
Land and Livestock company con-
tains 1910 animals, according to the
buyers, an average of small fraction
more than 80 steers to the car.

Sixty carloads of four and five year
old steers loaded at Esvade, Mexico,
by the Slaughter Lend and Cattle
company for Fuqua and Spradley of
Hereford, Texas, will be dipped at the
Douglas Stockyard vats today and re-
loaded for shipment to the Panhandle
country in Texas for the range. The
buyers of the stock, j. L. Fuqua and
Walter Spradley, who have been in
Douglas for some days with headquar-
terS at Hotel Palomar, stated last
night that the cattle will be grazed
during the winter months in the Pam
handle and next summer will be fin
ished on the range in Kansas, going
to the market next autumn
According to local officials of the
Southern Pacific railway, this is the
largest individual cattle shipment that
has been handled in more than two
years and one of the largest that has
been handled here The cattle will be
put through the watts today and prob
ably will get started on their journey

some time tomorrow.

senior member of this firm. He stated
that Texas prices are even better than
the prices which have been prevailing
in Arizona, a fact that may be ex-
planned, to some extent, at least, in
the freight charge, the haul there not
being SO long to the destination. He
said that. one very large sale had just
been concluded in Texas where the
steers brought an average of $3.50
for the entire lot. He also stated that
there has been more or less contract

LEWIS VISITS
DOUGLAS AFTER
Is YEARS AWAY

When Mr. and Mrs E. M. Lewis, of
! Chicago, came to Douglas yesterday for
a days visit, after an absence OF ID
years, they found emphatic truth in
that old aphorism 1.-THE world do move .
Change had been the rule rather than
! the exception, according to Mr. Lewis
who, while he lived in Douglas, was
| advertising manager OF the Phelps
Dodge store. In the personnel OF the
store, as at present operated, Lewis
found Just one with whom he had
been a co-Worker. That was Eddie
Forth. H. A. Strodthoff, who was
then manager of that store, has since
gone to Los Angeles.
But other changes. proved quite as
striking to Lewis as the change IN
| faces in the store Then Douglas had
i no paved streets. Now there are miles
of paved streets. Then the large adj
dition to the store as originally oper-
ated had not been started, so that the
present store has a much larger floor
space when he was here. Douglas surely
has been moving forward" said the
Chicagoan, "and the changes have all
added to it's general appearance, MAX
ling it a very attractive city My visit
recalls many pleasant acquaintances.
although with them come some sad
thoughts, because some have been
summoned by the Grim Reaper, while
others have moved ahead to bigger
and better positions"
Lewis who is now manager of sue
cessful advertising school in Chicago,
with Mrs. Lewis, stopped in Tomb
stone for a visit with their long time
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. John F. Ross, as
they were travelling ito the Pacific
coast for a vacation and rest. Mr.. and
Mrs Ross motored to Douglas with
them yesterday for the day.

] MEXICO CITY, Dec. IL QPy-The
entertainment of Colonel Charles A
Lindbergh by the Mexican govern
ment after he arrives here on his
projected flight from the United
States is giving the officials some
concern, owing to the uncertainty OF
the American aviator's plans.
General Alvarez, chief of the presi-
Dental staff, said today that he had
no information other than press dis
patches. General Pedro Caloca, chief
of the air force, who is also COM
mandante at the Valbuena army air

Lindbergh is expected to, land, an

Will Rogers, the American humor-
ist, had hoped to be in Mexico City
when Iindbergh came, but unless
that was before Christmas he said
he would not be there, as he promised
to eat Christmas dinner with his wife
and children at home.
As one of the unofficial ambassadors
of good will, he paid call on the
acting secretary of foreign affairs,
Senor Estrada, this afternoon. He
met many of the foreign office
officials and had a long chat with
Estrada. Asked what he said to the
Mexican minister, he replied:

Of
Operation

NOR fifty years Swift & Company
has been handling perishable
= meat products. During that
time an efficient money-saving sys-
tenn of marketing has been developed.
Science has been utilized to find
new uses for many products that once
were waste and better uses for old
products. Multiplied uses have in
creased volume. Increased volume
has resulted in decreased manu-
featuring and marketing expense.
Experience, science and skill have
reduced waste to a minimum.
Swift's marketing system means
only one profit and that is low.
For the. entire operation of convert
ing live animals into Premium Ham
and Bacon, Broolfeld Sausage and
other finished meat products and dis
tributing them to the retailer, Swift &
Company receives profit from all
sources averaging only fraction of
a cent per pound.
The National Distribution Con-
ference in 1925 found the whole
sale expenses of the packers branch
houses to be the lowest Of the seven
teen trades studied.
These economies of operation
make DOSSih1e F1111 market va1I1e for

demanded that the press be ex-

Senator Anderson Ketchum Of

be allowed to remain, so that the
public might have first hand infor-

Gray Speaks for People
Senator Carl Gray declared that

the exclusion Of the press.
The Senate then voted to exclude
the press, and when Cooper pleaded
that they refrain from publishing
speeches on secrecy drew a laugh.
The move to keep the deliberations
secret was defeated earlier in the
day when on motion of Senator

declared that the matter could not
be printed in the journal and there
was no appropriation to print it
elsewhere.
you didn't mind voting to take
your pay from the Governors con-
tingent fund, why cannot this ex-
pense come from there also?" Har-
rison asked Clancy.
Senate Adjourns
At the close of The debate and
with the matter left to be settled by
the committee, Senator William F..
Hodges (Rep), Gary, made the fol.
lowing motion. which was carried
unanimously:
"Since all Of the business Of the
seventy-fifth session of the Indiana
Senate is now completed and the
business of the Senate sitting as a
court, | now move that the Senate
adjourn sine die"
Several Senators then came up
and congratulated Van Nuys, but
entirely ignored the judge, who was
standing next TO his chief counsel.
Among them were Senators Hodges
and Lindley.
Soon the friends, most of whom
are termed X. *. X, Senators came
to present their congratulations to
the jurist. Among these were
Senators johnson, Sims, Quillin. Pell,
Martin and Cooper.
Press Is Upheld
Van Nuys declared that he was
pleased with the victory and COM
mented upon the fact that most of
the Senators voted against the judge
on the matter of freedom Of press,
which he considered significant.
II am glad that we won, of course.
but it is a good sign that majority
was polled on the matter Of the
press" he declared.
Chairman DELPHI Mckesson, who
led the prosecution for the House
board of managers, said:
I'VE submitted the evidence and
it was up to the Senators to decide
what action they would take on it.
The fact that on most counts a
majority was polled for conviction in
dicates clearly that the impeach-
ment proceedings were not without
foundation. I feel that our stand has
been justified"
First in 80 Years
This was the first impeachment
trial held in Indiana in ninety-two
years. impeachment was voted by
the House Of Representatives, fol-
lowing public hearing before Judi
ciary A committee at which Muncie
citizens appeared to testify against
the judge.
Sentiment adverse to Dearth had
been growing since he took the

bench back in 1922. On Feb. 10,
1927, he ordered police to bring all
newsboys selling the Muncie Post
Democrat, edited by George Dale,
into the courtroom, where he or
dered them TO sell no more of the
papers and had those that they were
caught with taken away. This high
handed action aroused the citizen
ship and before long a petition for
impeachment, signed by hundreds,
was presented in the House by Rep
resentative John w. Scott (Rep),
Gary, with the battle-cry, "Impeach
this Mussolini of Muncie"
1t was on the petition that the
public hearing was held. Articles of
impeachment, containing seven
charges, were presented to the Sen
ate by the House board of manag-
ers who were charged with prosecu-
ton. They were accepted on March
5, and March 81 voted as opening
date of trial.
Attorney General Arthur L. Gil
liom advised Governor Jackson that
the Legislature had no right to try
a Judge and the Governor refused to
appoint a successor to the impeached
Dearth. Funds in the appropria-
ton bill providing for the trial were
also declared unconstitutional by the
attorney general, but Thursday the
pay vouchers of Senators were paid
from the Governor contingent fund.
Evidence in the trial dealt with
the suppression of press and the
many complaints against the Dearth
jury system. Defense has been one
of Justification, rather than denial.
In the most logical and cogent adj
dress ever heard in the Indiana Sen
ate, Senator DELPHI l.. McKesson of
Plymouth, chairman of the House
board of managers, Thursday made
his summation of the case presented
by the prosecution in the impeach-
ment proceedings against Judge
Clarence w. Dearth.
Never fiowery and devoid of the
fights of rhetoric INDUCED in by Van
NuyS, McheSSon pounded nome TACT
after fact and commanded the at
tention of the Senate every moment
of the time allowed him.
After thanking the Senate for it's
courtesies to the board of managers
McKesson told the assembled Sena-
tors that he did not come as an in
dividual to hound Dearth but as a
representative of the people to the
end that the rights of the people
might be preserved from tyranni-
cal judiciary.
No More Tyranny

this man." said McKess IN. Had the
judiciary of Delaware County been

voice that dropped almost to a whis-

Are you willing to continue The
conduct of the Delaware Circuit
Court as you have heard it told here
by honest men, or do you want to
clean it up. Don't forget the con-
stitutional warning applied to the
terms of office for judges-'so long
as he behave well'."
In a speech that resounded with
mitigation and castigation Chief De-
Tense Counsel Frederick Van Mugs,
spoke for more than an hour in be-
half of his client, Judge Dearth.

of the unconstitutionality of the law

Dearth said "slandered him."

presented other than statement by
Dearth alleging that Dale'S paDer

brought about this state of affairs
and we seew to re-establish in that
county, the priceless heritage of the
people, won by the shedding of much
blood, the freedom of the press and
the right of a free and untrammeled
judiciary"
The speaker traced the jury sys-
tenn from the time of the signing of
the Magma Charta and then referred
one at a time to the various
"smoke screens" which he claimed
the defense had built up in order to
becloud the real issues in the case.
Tearing to pieces the argument
presented by Attorney. Moses B.
Larry for Dearth, McKesson asked,
what right had Judge Dearth to
suppress a newspaper when you and
as individuals couldn't do it.
Repeats NewsbOy Story
He repeated the story of the news
boys and said that he was grateful
that there are still enough red blood
ed Americans left who will stand up
for their rights, and defy any man
to act as king of old.
The lack of effort on the part of
Dearth to keep his court above re-
proach came in for a grand scoring.

mony of Dearth on the subject of
selecting jury commissioners for

Episode after episode in the his

McKesson in a masterful argument.
There was no grand finale, no
verbal pyrotechnics, only a demand

ton keen the courts clean above

to permit newspaper men to re.

Dearth debated.
The executive session first was
voted late Thursday when attorneys
for prosecution and defense had con-
cluded final arguments, on motion
of Senator Quillian.
Throughout the secret balloting
Judge Dearth, surrounded by a
group of women, including Mrs.
Dearth, sat in the unlighted
corridor outside the main door of
the Senate.
Occasionally he took a handker-
chief from his pocket and wiped his
eyes. Friends came up to re4ssure
him. including Attorney Wilbur

final verdict to Chief Defense
Counsel Frederick Van Mugs as soon
as it was learned.
Told of the decision before he was
ordered into the Senate chamber,
Dearth declared:
"Never Guilty"
Il never was guilty of anything "
He announced he would resume
the bench Saturday morning.
When directed to enter the Senate
chamber by Chief Doorkeeper Jerome
