PIGE ETOTTT BIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON", TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1932. FIRST TO START UPWARDJREND Steady Advance In Value of Hogs Watched With In terestFurther Rise Pre dictedFarmers Rejoice CHICAGO, JulJ lsWAP) Just bout the happiest Industry at this stage of the economle sltustlon Is that which deaU with livestock. In the "yards" of Chicago, focus of the great business, a steady d van oe of record length In the value of bow has been closely watobed. Observed, too, has been the gain which haa made cattle the first farm commodity to top 1031 best prices. And on the farms, although an estimated 100,000,000 her been add ed to valuations by these gains, no stampede to sell has developed. Img Run of Advances Last week Viere was a reaction In hogs but It did rot take place until ti aucuBsiilve dally price advances had raised the top from 3.30 on May 38 to 5.6 a week ago. Cattle aver aged es.25 last week compared with 7.65 for the corresponding week last year. President Charles A. Wilson of the Chicago Livestock Exchange terms the livestock gains "seasonal" but addedi "The rise from the lows of last win ter has been very marked. Hogs, which reached the lowest price In 86 year, and cattle, have made a good recovery." Others at toe yards claim the up ward movement has only started and some enthusiasts assert livestock, may usurp the position forecasters usually reserve to grains as bell-wether lor a forward movement of commodity prloes generally. Meat Shortage Acute They point out the shortage of meat Is still acute and cite that June hog receipts were the smallest since 1883. The cattle shortage Is account ed the most pronounced since 1884. The packers rejoice along with the producers. Their Inventories, after a period of write-downs for diminish ing values of products stored, will benefit. And the railroads likewise are hap py over the mct shipping prospect. President Ralph Budd of the Bur lington railroad said last week: "No other thing since the depression be gan has heartened me so much as the continued rise In livestock prloes." He added the "rest of the country cannot be restored (to prosperity) until tfte farmer haa purchasing pow er'." And the farmer takes courage at these concrete results of the recent movement: A carload qf hogs sells 1300 higher than a month ago; A carload of cattle brings tftBO more than at the low point In May. GASOLINE THEFTS Gasoline stealing and "sympathy racketeering" continues in Jackson county on a slightly decreased scale. State polios oontlnued search for "friends." who after a visit with Josephine county acquaintances de parted with silverware, bedding, and a rifle with a gold sight. It was reported that somebody walked into a homesteadera cabin In the Butte Palls district Sunday, and departed with "everything not nailed down." Oas stealing has shown a decrease In the country, as the farmers keep their dogs and shotgun handy, and park the family car, where the glare of the headlights will be thrown on the tractor the favorite point of stuck of the prowlers.

Tappan, turning pale, took the stand an flatly denied Littleton's statement. The suspension of the 19 snd the arrest of four policemen as material witnesses followed exposure by Dis trict Attorney Elvln N. Edwards of what he called a plot to have De tectlve Joseph Hlzenskl, son of the woman beaten In the robbery, "take the rap" for beating Stark. Saw Easy Out Edwarda aald the other detectives figured It would be easy tor Hlzen skl to escape conviction by pleading he loat his head over his mother's Injuries. . Hlzenskl, In a mild voice, testified he "socked" the almost naked Stark twice. "You're lying," thundered Justice Stelnbrlnk. He repeatedly warned police wit nesses that in "covering up" they laid themselves open to perjury charges. Two policemen, Harry Zan der and Leslie Pearsall, he bltlngly called "expert masseurs" used to "shellack" tight-lipped prisoners. One witness told of seeing Stark lying unconscious In a sound-proof rifle room, his trousers half off? his shirt all open in front, disclosing raw welte, of watch a physician testi fied there were 60.

It was Police Captain Emll Morse that ordered him taken to the rifle room, testimony showed. Zander insisted that Hlzenskl, cry ing "You low down thief," leaped at Stark, hit blm on the throat time and again, until his head snapped back and then dropped downward. Dr. Tbomaa J. Fearns, physlclal called In by police, aald he found Stark dying and In a "shocking con dition." He asked what was the matter and was told: "He must have had a fit of some kind." You detected that It wasnt a fit?" Justice Stelnbrlnk. "No trained y wu nccteairj for that," thai physician retorted. Tormentoo Identified Isa Stain and Philip Cecala, two of Btark'g fellow siupecta in tha $4 robbery of Mn. HizenslU, appeared frightened as they pointed out po licemen they accused of beating Viem. The fourth man, Alex Drangel, wai surly and defiant. Walking down a long row of men, some of them white and ahaklng, he would stop In front of one. give him a thump that sent him back on his heels and say: "He slapped me around." He shook his fist at Detective Ser geant MarceU Chagnon, accused him of wielding a rubber hose, and mut tered, "I'd like to break your skull." The suspensions left the county detective bureau sadly riddled, and newspapers predicted a shaleup would follow. Ancient Mizpah Seal Discovered By Archeologist BERKELEY, Cal.
