duStry.
While seemingly an unconse-
quental detail it will operate
radically to the sellers benefit,
since it will transform the pres
emit practices from a closed mar
ket, giving the seller the bene-
fit Of independent competition
through their opportunity to
register offers on a competitive
basis with the allied packers.
1t will give the seller the
benefit of direct buying, by
feeders, in the feeder division,
instead of the present practice
of double commissions to pro-
vide for SPECTATORS profits.

As a matter OF fact, We discov-

workaday surroundings.
The fourth or fifth generation

in Egypt, finished his education in
England. His profession has taken
him all over the world. so he feels

And speaking of contradictions,
he told us that so-called Turkish
tobacco is really grown and manu-
featured by Greeks. eve found his
cigarettes very good with the
sauce-like black, sweet coffee he
served In tiny cups).
Capt. Eliadis has been going to
sea exactly five years longer than
his present command. but carries
years a good deal better. at that.
Although a subject of keen in
terest, war in Europe and Asia is
of little concern to him personally.
During the first world conflict, he

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Johnny
Torrio, former Chicago gangster,
and four others were indicted by
Federal grand jury today on charges
Of income tax law violations. Those

earlier true bills returned against

been under investigation for some
months.
Also named in the indictment,
but not as a defendant, was William
H. Boyd, former special assistant
to the United States Attorney Gen.
eral. Boyd committed suicide by
hanging last November at Piney
Point, Nd
The indictment charges in the
conspiracy count that the defend
ants "unlawfully, willfully, know
ingly and feloniously did conspire,
confederate and agree together and
with each other and with William
H. Boyd of Washington, D. c.,
to defraud the United States
of incomes taxes due from
Torrio.

Archipenko Completes
His Statue Of Moses
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated FrebS.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Alexander
Archipenko, termed by one critic
the worlds greatest sculptor since
Rodin, soon will enrich modern art
with his completed statute of Moses
dramatic and dynamic work, in
spired by conflict in Europe.
On the heels of a preview of his
monumental but simple work, Archi-
penko said today the 7-foot statue
would be ready for its first public
exhibition in March. Thereafter, it
will travel over the land and be
shown in principal museums and
galleries.
Acknowledge as the first of the
abstract sculptors, Archipenko has,
in his Moses" approached what is
for him an idealized naturalism.
1t should be readily recognizable to
most beholders.
The sculptor has portrayed Moses
with head thrown back and tablet
of commandments in his arms, the
line of brow and nose eagle-like in
its strength, the eye sharp and the
whole demeanor one of superb We
hemence. This is the Moses, as
Archipenko says. who is the liaison
figure between humanity and God.
