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.

NEW YORK. July 19. (AP) The
stock market drifted lifelessly today,
refusing to respond to efforts of floor
traders to prompt a rally by bidding
up tobaccos. Net changes at the
finish were largely Inconsequential
and the tone was stesdy. Turnover
was only about halt a million shares.
The beet that could be said was
that the decline of the previous ses

back and forth and It didn't laze
him."
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.
Police Captain's Orders
Others said they saw him slumped
over In a chair too far gone to speak,
gagging at times and then, finally,
unconclous. . 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.
