The review said the actual price advance In hogs, amounting to 92 since late In May, is not fur out of line with usual ennonnl ad vances for this period, allium nil the percentage gain has been greater than for many years. A spring pig crop smaller than that of a year ago was shown In tho government pig report released during tho week. A decrease of 7 per cent to slightly over 60 million head is Indicated, canned by fewer sows farrowed and greater loss of pigs. Reports from Germany and Denmark indicate a 5 to 10 per cent reduction there a.s well. Fewer cattle nnd calves were slaughtered during tho first half of this year than last, hut more sheep, lamba and hogs, tho report Mutes.

FREED LATER BY OFFICERS AT CAPITOL (Continued Prom Pago One) threatened disorder as congress met today for Its last session, but quick police action calmed the situation. Walter W. Waters, leader of the main body of ex -soldiers, was held under arrest a short time until he and his aides agreed to do their best to keep their followers from mass ing at the capltol doors, once they wore dispersed. , ; Pelham D. Olassford, police chief, then undertook to get the somewhat turbulent crowd in a cheerful frame of mind preparatory to having them go back. An army nurse and men from the veterans ranks led In song. Topping off for the time tho yelling and Jeer ing that marked the first run across the capltol plaza. - - No Success for Awhile .. Efforts to break up the conccntra tlon were slow and dellbvate on Olassford's part, and there was no sign of success for a time. Finally, Waters was brought to a temporary bandstand confronting the gathering, where he addressed' the crowd. He quickly got a hearing and stated that Olassford had arrested him because he was under the Im pression that Waters had given signals to his men to break through the police lines and follow him to the bandstand. Waters told the men ho had made arrangements under which they would bo permitted to occupy the steps In front of tho rotunda and as much space as they might need In the plaza In front of the rotunda. , He had agreed they would not occupy tho steps in front of the sen ate and the house wings or encroach upon them. After this brief address, tho steps in front of the rotunda were quickly crowded and several thousand men occupied the plaza In front of them. Mure hern Trudge On While the police were attempting to get tho men off tho plaza, the marchers who have been parading on the eastern sldo of the plaza the last three days continued their trudging. Shortly after Waters addressed the men a number of the marchers straggled out of the grounds, thus reducing tho congestion which had been worrying the police for an hour or more. Glassford had evinced determina tion to keep the plaza clear, saying ho had promised Vice President Cur tis to do so and "when I say I'll do a thing. I'll do It!" With the speaker of the house and the capltol police board, the .vlco president is In charge of the capltol grounds. In this situation, Olassford has held command despite a charge by the capltol authorities yesterday that he had assumed authority 'Im properly. I. A cheer rose from the veterans as Waters spoke. Both arms upraised for silence, he shouted "shut up for a while, will you?" and turning to a noisy group at his right: "You, too!" "Those people over there will have to get ofr. too," ho yelled, pointing to a throng of spectators on i the stops In question. "You can go up and sit on those middle steps," he continued: -J3ut you'll have to keep a wldo path so those fellows with white collars around their necks can get down without bumping Into us rats." "I'm here to see President Hoover." ho went on, "and I'm going to stay until he grants my request." A cheer was Interrupted and par tially silenced by the sound of a police siren. ' "That may bo Black Maria for me." said the thin leader of the marchers. . "They'll not take you unless they take us all," a girl yelled. After recounting his experiences with the pollco which followed the rush across the plant, Waters said "wo have a right to this ground and the capltol steps because they be long to us." Ho stepped down from the chair and the crowd surged forward onto the steps. After settling down on the steps, tho crowd sang songs and cheered various speakers. Waters Conrers With ratm:m Waters went Inside the capltol and had a conference with Representative Patman (D., Tex.), a bonus 'payment advocate. 1 Patman told Waters ho would do all possible to bring up bonus legls- ' ROOSEVELT SETS SAIL IN YAWL FOR FISHING CRUISE Amtv iin his Mrndav ft-MiiR trip.

Following his conference with Patman, Waters returned to his followers and was greeted with a cheer and bugles. The bugle calls reverberated throughout the capltol building It self. ' , The doors to the center of the building were barred and no one was alfowed In or out. Olassford, sitting about midway up the stops, listening to some speeches, was surrounded by dozens of men shaking his hand and greeting him smilingly. Olassford Cheered , As the crowd became dense, he moved down the steps among the men. Hands were upflung for a handshake as he passed and when he reached the bottom a cheer leader called for ;threo cheers for the gen eral." The plaza and plllored entrance of the capltol rang with cheers. Olassford had Waters, while un der arrest, brought forward but his efforts to get the men back con tinued to be of no avail. Other Leaders Arrested Other leaders of the veterans also were placed under arrest. They were escorted into the capltol. Meantime, Olassford ordered all policemen off duty to report to their stations. The proceedings had remained or derly until Waters and other leaders reacned the scene. He started across the plaza In the direction of the center steps at the rotunda. The veterans began to run toward himfrom various directions so that wnen ne reached the band stand in front of the rotunda several thou sand were around him. Olassford then attempted to have the men dispersed and returned to their places opposite the plaza. rawing in tnis, waters and others were taken into custody. ag the request of Roy W. Robbert- son, leader of the California veter ans group, the military police set up by tho veterans, early In the morning had removed their arm bands and Joined in the march. "If there is going to be anv doIIco In this business," Robertson said. "the District of Columbia can fur nish them." Eugene F. Everett, representing Waters, had told newspaper men at tne wnite House earlier that he had failed in an effort to secure an Inter view for Waters with President Hoover for today. Everett said one of the president's secretaries informed him the chief executive was too occupied. &vereu said he told White House officials that despite the plan of one wing or tne bonus army to picket the White House after the adjournment of congress, the main body under . Waters would not take part in any such movement, believing It "undig- I nlfied." Tho effort to mako an appoint-1 ment with tho president, " Everett ! said, was made to request the presi- j dent personally to aBk congress to j recess rather than adjourn so that j bonus legislation might be enacted. I " Meanwhile, Mr. Hoover's desire to ! have the bonus seeking veterans 1 loavo the capital remained unaltered, j He signed a house Joint resolution i extending until July 25 the time In which veterans may apply for money under the 9100,000 fund for trans portation to their homes. The ori ginal deadline for obtaining this transportation fell tho day before yesterday at midnight. Tho veterans at the capltol ges tured toward taking the front steps from control of police but were herded back on to the plaza In front of the temporary band Btand directly In front without major trouble. Flag bearers of the veterans con tinued to wave the stars and stripes. Boos and cries went up as plain clothes men went among the crowd to weed out certain leaders. The situation was tense. Leaders of the marchers spoke .to them from tho band stand and a nurse urged them to maintain order. ' As one of Its last actions, the house had voted to reduce from 4'& to 3 per cent the interest charge on loans deductible from the bonus. The house-approved bill also would let veterans borrow even though they had not had their certificates two years, as the law requires. KQCITY 1.KAGI E FOItMKI) PITTSBURGH.

Strong Indications that some progress was being made in the business of run ning down the perpetrators of the recent school consolidation petition theft hoax, were apparent today as the Multnomah county district at torney's office continued its Investi gation which followed some unac countable leads. A strange procession through the city streets and a series of private conferences may have been fruitful but the prosecutor refused to com ment. " After a long conference in the office of Lotus Lang ley. district attorney, between John Goltz, police detective, George and John Mowry, deputy dis trict attorneys, and Arthur McMa hon, attorney from Albany, the party set out and traversed downtown streets In the wake of, Robert Tall man, night watchman, who confessed that he had assisted In staging the purported theft of 25,000 names on state school consolidation petitions from the safe of the Portland organ ization backing the consolldalon. For many blocks the procession gumshoed on Its errand. It appeared to trailing reporters that the pur pose was to enable Tallman to recog nize and Indicate to the officials the Identity of someone for whom they were searching.
