PACKERSYET HOPE FOR PEACE | \extrnt since the coroher's autopsy (Continued from First Page) Just the old move of the Burlington and | Northwestern to reach back Into the west- ern territory and get the long haul on the raw material, for, as a matter of coirse, If tiie (ressed heef is placed on a parity with the live cattle the live cattle will sim- ply be shipped on into Chicago. This will not only adversely atfect the packers, but the stock yards and, indiréctly, all other business Interests In Omaha and Bouth Omaha, since they ail bear some relation to the large packing Interests. Carried to’ its 1ogical conclusions, the packers point out, this principle would mean a suspension of Business and throwing out of employ- ment large numbers of men Don’t Fear Th “But we don't fear such radlcal results,” said this packer. “'We believe that long | hefore -this end is reached the railroads, | Which are operated by the best sort of | business men, will see that they are work- {Ing an injury on legitimate Interests and | stop it. They, like ourselves, have large | investments to protect and we scarcely think they would enter upon this kind of rulnous polfey. We know this, that the | steps already taken to place these in- creased rates in effect March 2, have been | taken without the slightest intimation to the packers, with whom the railroads have conducted business so long and without the most careful consideration on the rallroads' | part. Why, the first intimation we had of the move actually being taken, came from the story in The Bee. We knew there | was talk of it, but we were not consulted | and knew nothing of the actual fact until The Bee published It the fore part of the week “What action the packers will take 1 do not know. Of course they will do their best to protect thelr vast interests and | they probably will have the united help of | Omaha and South Omaha and their power- | ful business Interests. There has been | some talk of an injunction. Well, If neces- sary an injuncticn would be available, I suppose. But that step has not been de- | cided on. Rather, we are hoping to con- viuce the raliroads of thelr error.” As to the Great Western, it has been | suggested that its only salvation Is to stand pat on the present rater Since it has | 10 line west of Omaha It could not possibly | share in the long haul, which, after, all, would be the harvest fleld of drofits. All it could hope to do would be to originate its traffic at Omalia and that, if the thing went to its possibilities, would be a trifling matter in the end NEGRO CONFESSES AND TRIAL WILL BE PUSHED s City Feollows Aw Excitement at Kan | Admission of Janitor He snulted Five Girls.

WARE SECURES HIS RELEASE Supreme Cunrt Rebukes Judge Towner B. W. GARRETT 1S OUT FOR CLERK Resigns an Officer of Parole Hoard and Wil Try for Place with Supreme Court. DES MOINES, Ia., Feb. 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The Towa supreme court today rendered a decision in the famous case of Leroy Ware of Wayne county, rebuking and roversing Judge Towner and releasing Ware from prison. Ware had been sent to ‘prhlon for five, years on a plea of guilty of .irregularities in the bank at Seymour, of which he was cashier. After & year and two monthe, he was released on parole. The matter beeame of political conse quence fn southern Towa and Judge Towner ordered him ment back to prison on the theory that the parole boatd had no right to consider a case starting before the board was organized and mlso because the | law was unconstitutional. Habeas corpus proceedings were brought and today the court ordered Ware released and upheld the law and the parole board in every re- spect. i (From a Staff Correspondent.) Names on Petit In an important saloon case from Ot- tulmwa the court also held today that only persons who have actually voted at the last general election are entitled to sign petitions or proteésts in saloon cases, in- stead of merely qualified voters, as has been the custom. Garrett is Candidate. B. W. Garrett, clerk of the board of parole, this evening announced his resigna- tion from the board and aléd that he would Immediately begin a canvass for position of clerk of the lowa suptems court. Gar- rett has been In charge of the parole office since it was establishéd and prior to that had charge for years of the office while it was with the governor. In fact, he was al- most the father of the parole law and sys- tem in Towa. Political differences had arisen and his place was being sought by persons who differed from him radically on all matters of politics. The State Parole board today recom- mended to Governor Carroll, and he im- mediately approved the matter, that “Bill" Richards be given no clemency. He was formerly deputy (nited States marshal, and for a long time one of the most popu- lar officials, but he planned a daring rob- bery and nearly Kkilled two old people while alding in its execution. He brought great influence to bear for a parole from an 18-year term, and Governor Cummins had at one time iddicated his bellef that the seutence was excessive. Cowt of the Institutions. The State Board of Control reports that the cost of running the Institutions is constantly on the increase. | Figures for the last year show that the total cost of the fifteen Institutions was about $1,640,- 000. There are 850 inmates on an average and the per caplta cost was about $1M4, as against $177 a few years ago. The increase in population has not been great. In the one item of purchase of provisions the last year the increase in cost to the state was over $100,000. Valley Junction Wants Depot. Residents of Valley Junction, practically a suburb of Des Moines, have called upon the raflroad commission to compel the TRoek Island raliroad to build a new depot theére. They state that the depot is inade- ahd that it Is flithy ahd unsanitary and that funeral parties frequently have to stand out In the cold because of failure to provide room in the depot. New Bank at Ottumwa. The South Ottumwa Savings bank has been organized with $30,000 capital; also the Citizens’ State bank of Hagle Grove has reincorporated for $15,000. The Silver Lake creamery at Ayrshire has incorpo- rated, also the Cedar Raplds Lighting company. The State Parole Board completéd its work today for this term and will report | tomorrow. It is probable that in the fa- mous Richards case the recommendation will be for shortening his term. Impbrtant Saloon Declsion. A saloon cannot be operated in more than one room under the gulse of a jobbing trade, and members of a corporation who wre employed in operating a saloon must be listed as employes, %o the supreme court says, In Sloux City the Manderscheids con- ducted a saloon and had & basement room in conneotion therewith, which they claimed wag used in connection with their whole- sale department. The supreme court says this cannot be done. Two of the members of the corporation were employed, but not listed and the court says they should have been ligted as employes. The corporation as such had been put forward as the real owner of the business, hence the members of the corporation employed were not to be deemed as principals, even though they did own the busine The court therefore sustains the con- viction of the Manderschelds for violating an injunction.

ALASKA COAL " LAND HEARIN (Continued from First Page.) of the su- he told of secking the advice of Mr. Hoyt In Washifgtori in May, 1008, after First Assistant of the Interfor Plerce had | rendered an opinion which Glavis thought ould pegmit the Cunningham claims in | Alaska to go to patent. Mr. Hoyt told how deeply worried Glavis seemed to be at this time and said that be- fore going to Attorney General Wicker- sham hé and Glavie had discussed the advisabllity of taking the matter up directly With the president. Mr. Hoyt also testified to the good character of Glavis, saying he had known him for a number of years and he had told the attorney genetal that Glavis | Was an honorable, upright young min. The only other phase of the case to Whick Mr, Hoyt directed his testimony had ‘to do with the, Wilson coal land caSes, in which he acted as special attorney for the United States. Glavis testiffed that he heard that the fame of R. A. Ballingér, as attorney for somd of the Wilson clalmants, had been left out of the court records by stipulation of counsel, Mr. Hoyt said It was at his personal suggestion and without ‘the knowledge of Mr. Ballinger that the stipulation had been entered into. As a matter of fact, how- ever, Mr. Ballinger's name did appear fif- teen to twenty times in the testimony given, Mr. Hoyt sald a search had been made for the alleged escrow agreement which Mr. Ballinger 1s sald by Gl to haye drawn und which, according to Glavis, constituicd a eriminal act, but that it could not be found and the only evidénce as to Its existence was an Informal state- ment by one of thb witnesses who at the trial denied the existence of such an agree- ment. The remiainder of the day was taken up with the Introduction of documentary evi- dence by Mr. Brandels, who read such extracts as he considered of pecullar in- terest to the committee. These consisted largely of referendes in the agents' reports to conversations or Interviews with Mr. Ballinger as commissioner of the land of- fice on the subject of the Alaska coal clafms. This was done, the attorney sad, to show that Mr. Ballinger had been ac- tively interested in these cases before he left the land office and acted as attorney for sdme of the claimants. He also tead from a statement by H. H. Schwarts, chief of the field service, that it was at Mr. Ballinger's direction In January, 1008, that the Cunningham claims were ordered to be clear listed for patent. This order was withdrawn after Glavis had been notified and had protested. Mr. Brandels accompanied the introduc- tion of the documents with & sort of sum- ming up statement In which he sald it as claimed Mr. Ballinger had acted on a favorable report by Special Agent Love. Ho then read a letter from Love to Com- missioner Dennett of the land office in which Love denled that his report of Au- gust 2, 1907, favored the-clear listing of the claims. This report, he said, suggested the advisability of further investigation, al- though previously he had recommended clear listing.

USE OF CHECKS IN BUSINESS Over Half of Retail Trade Done wlth, Credit Instruments. | FIGURES TAKEN FROM BANKS Investigation Shows Ninety Per Cent of Wholesnle Trade is Done with Bank Paper—Wyoming Lends States. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.~We are justi- fled In concluding that 50 or 80 per cent of tlonal Monetary comsmission will issue In & day or two under the title of “the use of credit instruments in payments In the United States.” During 1900, Dr. Kinley made an investi- gation of this subject through the instru- méntality of the commission and the comip- troller of the curresoy. Instructions were ent to all kinds of banks. The, aggregate retall deposits on March 16, 1908, the day on which the bahks were requested to report their retall deposits, showed some interesting facts, according to Dr. Kinley. The largest amount of de- posits was in thie retufns of the national banks whera (he percentage of chacks was 747, the highest shown by any class of | banks. The loan and trust companies next | with 78.7 per cent, but their total deposits | were only about ons-efghth of those of the national banks. The third in order of percentage was the state banks and the percentage of credit paper In their deposits was 70 in deposits | arounting to about 40 per cent of the na- tional banks. The private banks, with less than $1,000,000 deposits, showed 65.4 per cent of checks, while the stock savings banks, with deposits of less than $400,000, showed 641 per cent in checks. . The mutual sav- ings banks showed 123 per cent in checks in deposits of less than $15,000. Wyoming Leads States. The highest percentage of checks em- ployed in retail deposits was in banks in Wyoming. There the ratio was $3.7 per cent, while New York came next with 0.0 per cent, and Oregon third with 80.1 per cent. The only two states that showed a percentage of checks less than 60 were Maine, where the percentage was 688 of deposits reported, and Rhode Island, where | the percentage was 56.5. Dr. Kinley says that the use of checks is promoted in a measure by the payment of wages in checks. Of weekly payrolls | reported by the banks 70 per cent were in | | checks. “The transaction of so large a velume of our bilWness by checks is an element of danger In times of stringency and | orisis,” says Df. Kinley. “In such times the balances of credit transactions creates a larger demand for money, but the habit of settling by check has meantime wept the avaflable amount of money at a minimum. “Consequently there gught to be some means of supplying additional currency when credit as a means of payment dimin- ishes. This currency ought to be as safe and as uniform as the ordinary currency. “The volume of credit transactions very likely tends to increase as population and business grow. It does not increase uni- formly, however, but by periodic move- ments. That is to say, the rate of Increase of credit transactions ms compared with the whole volume of busihess grows, as it were, by jerks and at a decreasing rate.” Dickeut Admits Criminal Recerd Youthful “Early Bird” Bandit at Council Bluffs Graduate of Eldora Reform School.
