Govern ment ownership of the stockyards of fer the only hope of the fanners and stock raisers against the monopoly ex ercised by packers, Francis J. Heney told the senate committee on agricul ture Wednesday. He declared the vari ous forms of licensing suggested in bills now pending In congress would be about as effective "as the bite of a mosquito on the hide of a rhinocer os." Heney furnished the committee with a mass of data showing how the stock yards are completely under the control of five big packers, although their ownership had been artfully concealed by a series of interlocking corpora tions. The 16 biggest yards in the coun try, over which the big five have con trol, carry 83 per cent of the meat business of the United States, he said. If this control were broken up by gov ernment ownership and operation, Heney explained, the independent shippers and the farmers would be able to get a "square deal," COQUILLE VALLEY IS FLOODED BY HIGH MARSHFIKUD, Jan. 20.

H. Scavenius, former Danish ambas sador to Petrograd. one of the last diplomats to leave Russia, was heard.
