New York Stocks

NE WYORK, July 25. U.H -
Enthusiasm disappeared from the
stock market today as prices took
on steady to firm tone.
Recent heavy liquidation, which
had forced prices to new lows for
the year, left many traders OF the
opinion that technical rally was
due. But today's firmness was far
from a rallying movement.
Cotton was slightly improved but
the bond market was unsettled by
liquidation of speculative rails.
Prior to the firmness in the mar
ket a long list of leaders had es-
tablished new 1884 lows.
j. I. Case and California Pack
ing were among the most popular
stocks on the rise, the former ris-
ing more than 2 points and the
latter reaching a new high for the
year for more than 2 points gain.
General strength was apparent.
Atchison climbed more than a point
to above Sc, Chrysler showed more
than point gain at 36h, New York
Central was almost a point higher
at 22K, Du Pont gained more than
point at 88 while Evans Products
was 2 points higher at 1872.
General Motors managed to pull
up to x gain around % y.
Southern Railway, one of the weak
est features of the rail group in
recent liquidation, came back to
show more than a point gain at
15h while Southern Pacific gained
fractionally to 1875 after reaching
a new low in earlier trading.
Sales approximated 1,350,000
shares against 100000 yesterday.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
averages; Industrial 91.57. up 0.56;
Railroad 37.59, off O.3l; Utility 20.90
up 0.10.

SUPERVISORS
SET SALARIES

Salaries of county officials for
the fiscal year which started July
we're determined in an ordinance
adopted by the board of supervisors
Yesterday afternoon. After its adop-
ton this ordinance was returned
to the district attorney for some
few minor corrections.
With but two exceptions these
salaries are the same as were paid
last year, it was learned at the
district attorneys office this morn
ing. The salary for the combined
offices of sheriff coroner has been
raised from $3.50 to $4,000 with the
stipulation that all fees collected
by both offices are to be turned
over to the county treasurer.
The office of assessor collector,
combined by the county govern
ment act adopted by the super
visors last year, will receive a SAL
ary of $2700, an increase of $500.
Other salaries will remain the same
as before, it was said, with the
exception of one or two small re-
auctions for certain secretarial
posts.
This setup will go into effect on
January l, 1885.
Election boards to preside over
the "a voting precincts in the
county for the August 28 primary
election, we're approved by the
supervisors at yesterdays meeting

FREE HICKMAN
IN BAY CITY
DEATH CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, July %. up
The acquittal Of Millard Hickman
45-year-old shipping engineer, on
charges of murder threw back into
the laps of San Francisco police to-
day the task of determining who
killed beautiful Louise JeppeSen of
Ogden, Utah, in Golden Gate park.
A jury of eight men and four wo-
men quickly answered the states
demand for a hanging verdict or
nothing" last night by finding the
semi-bald engineer not guilty of the
Staying charges. The jury deliberat-
ed only two hours after receiving
the case. Only one ballot was taken.
Hickman sat motionleSs as the
jury filed into the courtroom with
its verdict. He remained sitting
while William H. Beachey, jury
foreman, read from a small slip of
paper the decision which exonerated
the shipping man Of the serious
charges.
Then the defendant put his arm
around the shoulders Of Edwin Nc
Kenzie. defense counsel and rose as
Mckenzie stuffed papers into brief
case.
Hickman glanced uncertainty at
the police who had been constantly
at his side during the trial. But none
made a move to restrain him as he
walked from the courtroom, a free
man for the first time since May 13
when the girls garroted and bro
ken body was found in a park tun-
mel.

where were jammed witt. thousands
of heads of cattle shipped by dis
tressed farmers unable to obtain
food or water for them. Many were
so weak they could not keep up with
the herds. These stragglers were shot.
A survey of the drought and heat
areas showed an increase in the
costs of foodstuffs to housewives.
Grocer and wholesalers, with an eye
to the thousands Of acres Of destroy
ed crops, predicted prices would
continue to increase. Since May !,

for water was under way.
Hundreds of wells have been dug
in the last week and crews of dig
gers scattered over the prairies were
reminiscent of oil boom days when
wildcat wells reputedly were sunk
in every township.
Deluge Needed
Oklahoma may get light showers
today but a deluge would be needed
TO put water back into rivers and
streams and reyitalize farm acres.
Slightly lower temperatures may
give a little relief to Iowa, Illinois,
South Dakota, Minnesota, wyoming,
Ohio, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Mis-
souri,.
In addition TO the more than 500
dead from causes directly traceable
to heat deaths by drowning were far
beyond normal in all sections. More
than 100 droWnings have been re-
ported within the last week.
Cattle ranges in Kansas, Oklaho-

scenes of poignant suffering. Dying

save their herds by sinking as many

ARBITRATION

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25. U.P)
With most of the vote counted,
it was reported unofficially today
that a large majority of 10000
Pacific coast longshoremen favor
federal arbitration of their dis
pute with the shipowners.
The official county of the bal
loting was to be announced later
in the day by the Presidents Ma
tional Longshoremen's board.
Approval of the mediation plan
opened the way for an early re-
turn to work not only of the dock
workers but also of the members
of nine other marine unions now
on strike.
w. F. Morris, Tacoma, represent
ing the international longshore-

Thousands Of Cattle Tortured
To Death As Strike Cripples

| CHICAGO. July 25. Twenty
five thousand head of cattle -
starved, thirsting, dying by the hun
dredS-waited in the union stock
yards today for 800 striking men and
their employers to settle a dispute
over wages.
Thousands more of the suffering
animals were doomed to death un-
less the strike is settled soon. All
over the crowded yard they bawled
and beloved until thirst, starva-
ton and the torture of a 100 degree
sun brought death.
Commission men telegraphed a
plea to Washington for federal in
tervention and strong methods to
end the strike. regardless of its mer-
its.
simultaneously, more than 1000
other Stockyard employees, members
of the Livestock and Commission
Mems union, voted to strike at 3
p. m today.
Without them and the 800 live
stock handlers already out, the
yards would be left virtually un-
manned
Fifty thousand head of govern
ment-owned cattle probably would
be unaffected, as employees of the
Federal Surplus Relief Corporation
are not striking.
Police On Duty
Police were stationed throughout
the huge maze of pens and chutes
today to prevent recurrence of at
tacks on white collar" workers who
attempted to feed and water the ami
lmals last night.
Fire department squads stayed at
the yards all night, spraying hose
streams over the dying cattle, but
were unable to give them water to
drink.
Members of the regional labor
board attempted to arrange a con-
ference between Q. T. Henkle, gen.
eral manager of the stockyards COM
pany, and union leaders. They said
meeting probably would be held
tonight.
The striking handlers charged in
their strike call that their employer
has violated wage terms of a con-
tract under which they returned to
work after a strike last winter.

HOPES
FOR GENERAL
STRIKE ORDER

BUTTE, Mont, July 25. U.P)-
Despite San Francisco's narrowing
ordeal, many of Butte's $4,000 resi-
dents today hoped for a general
strike.
Voluble expression of this hope
was heard on hundreds of tongues.
This was because Butte feels such
crisis would bring to a head its
seemingly interminable strike of
5000 copper miners and smeltermen.
The strike has dragged on for
nearly three months-since May 8,
when miners deserted honeycomb
workings of the richest hill on
earth because the Anaconda Cop

for higher wages and shorter hours.

SENATORS PLAN
FULLPROBEO Of
'K|CK-BACK'
Committee Farley Wednesday
to Pick Group to Con-
duct Inquiry
BY LOUIS E. WHITE

Plans for conducting a kick
back racket investigation will be
laid by the Senate Education and
Labor Committee at a meeting
which Senator David I. Walsh
CDD of Massachusetts,, chairman,
has set for Wednesday.
The Massachusetts legislator
who is coauthor of the resolution
which provided for the probe
has had informal discussions with
various parties interested in the
inquiry during the past week
He said today his committee will
meet Wednesday to complete the
groundwork.
May Use U. S. Agents
One of the questions which the
committee will consider will be
who will be named as investiga-
tor for the group which will con-
duct the inquiry. Although it
may be decided to employ some
special investigator, it is believed
more likely that agents from the
Department of Justice will be
obtained to collect and sift the
evidence upon which the COM
mittee members will base their
inquiries to witnesses.
1t is generally understood that
a subcommittee of the Education
and Labor Committee will conduct
the probe, and the matter of the
personnel of this subcommittee
is to be decided upon at the Wed
nesday committee meeting.
WALSH TO HEAD PROBE
The present outlook is that the
subcommittee will be composed
of Senators Walsh, chairman;
Louis Murphy CD, of Iowa
Ebert D. Thomas Cd, of Utah;
Jesse H. Metcalf (R), of Rhode
Island: and James w. Davis (RD
of Pennsylvania. who joined Sen
ator Walsh in sponsoring the reso
luton for the probe.
Actual hearings before the sub
committee in the investigation
likely will start here next week
