Lincoln, July 9.—(Special.)—On the eve of leaving for the Mexican border, no election has been held to fill the vacancy caused by the refusal of the War department to allow Gen- eral Hall to accept the captaincy of H company of the Fifth infantry. It is probable an election will be held on the way down so that the com- pany will have a commander when it arrives, The soldier boys were busy all of the early part of the evening last night completing the packing of equipment and personal luggage ready for the start this morning, but later news postponed the trip until one this afternoon. At that hour the departure had not been made. Last night many of the men slept in state fair buildings, the tents being all loaded on the cars. It is given out that Major Frank Nicholson of St. Paul will charge of the Fifth company with Captain ley, Lieutenant Stratton of Exet and Lieutenant Hall of Omaha as sistants, Some Without Funds.

STATISTIOS ON INDUSTRY Arthur Meeker, speaking on the Borland resolution for an investiga- tion of the packing industry in this country before a subcommittee in the United States senate brought out the fact that Armour & Co., make a profit of just $1.19 per head on the cattle they slaughter. “It is Perfectly evident,” said Mr. Meeker, “to any one connected with this industry, wgo has heard the testi- mony given before your committee that this agitation, or campaign, like all its predecessors, is based not on facts, its structure being built on sus- picions. i “In the first place, Armour & Co.'s financial statement for last year, shows gross profits of $11,000,000, on a net capital investment of $118,000,- 0(:0, a profit of only 26 cents per dollar of sales. “Now, as a matter of fact, less than one-half of our net profits were made in the packing business proper in this country, which includes the slaughter- ing of 9,320,925 animals; and about one-seventh were made out of the cat- tle business; in other words, we slaughtered during that period 1,435,- 291 cattle and made a profit of $1,709,- 811.52, or $1.19 per head. More than one-half of our entire profits were made in manufacturing businesses, some entirely disconnected firms, and others remotely connected with, though in no way dependent upon, the slaughtering business, and also in manufacturing business operated in foreign countries, where neither the raw material nor the resultant finished products were sold in this country, so that when one separates the results into the profits made in the packing industry and those that are not, the packing industry shows a very poor return on the capital invested. Margin of Profit. “And I know of no large manu- facturing industry, of any name or nature, that has ever been conducted on such a margin of profit. since the world began, and survived, and this is the reason, and the only reason that I know of, that new competitors are not entering the field, because the net results do not seem an adequate return for the capital invested, the chances taken, and the services per- formed. “As to the cattle yindustry, the statistics of the Department of Agri- culture, showing an increase of over 000 in the number and a large in the value of cattle in this in the last three years, and the great increase in the value of lands through the west and middle west shows the cattle business is profitable. Bad Year for Feeders. “The feeders of the country had a hard time last year, and it is perfectly Paul; | well known to every one who is en- gaged in the industry that it was an bnormal year in many respects, in that the foot and mouth dis failure of the corn crop in some tions, and the poor quality in others, and frosts and high price of feed earl¥ stuffs and feeding cattle, all making - | for the high cost of production, were responsible for it in part. reason, however, the depressed condition in business resulting in low consumer purchasing power and in- ability, on part of consumer, to pay hlgher prices for beef. ‘There may be, roughly, perhaps, a million people in this country en- Fued in the business of producing live stock, perhaps more, whose chief interest The main naturally, is to get as much | for their cattle as they can.

Obtainable everywhere.—~Adv. to see how cheap they can buy their beefsteak and their purchasing power determines the price that the retailer pays us for cattle and countrary to the ular idea, the middle man o: which we are not posted and have no control over; but I doubt very much if the retail butchers of this country, with the various problems they have to contend with, make more than a fair living out of their business. “Perhaps a word or two would be interesting as to how the beef business is conducted: “The receipts of cattle at the large markets determine the aggregate pur- chases of the slaughterer. Drouths, weather conditions, feeding conditions, the natural season of maturity, and a hundred and one other causes affect the receipts of live stock from week to week, and, therefore, the weekly supply of dressed beef is uneven. What Determines Prices. “It is impractical and impossible to store live stock at market, and equally impossible to keep refrigerated beef on hand for more than a few days; therefore, the receipts of cattle each week determine the quantity of beef that is shipped each week, and the quantity of beef shipped largely de- termines the price at which it can be sold. Of course, exceptional weather conditions, varying receipts of other food products like eggs, pdultry, fruit, fish, vegetables in the various seasons affect the quantity of beef that is eaten. It is safe to say that 99 per cent of the refrigerated beef that is shipped by the large firms is unsold at the time of shipment. No fixed sell- ing price can be put on it, based on its cost, it has to go forward con- liflned to hundreds of markets to be sold for the best price it will bring, no more or less, but it must be sold promptly on arrival or within a few days thereafter, while it is in & fresh condition. “It is a fundamental fact in the beef business that it must be sold while it is fresh, and a price must be made that will induce the retail dealer to buy while it is fresh. We know by experience that a little increase in the rice of beef has an immediate effect in reducing the q\nnti‘!iy that the re- tailer will purchase, and a decrease in the price has an immediate effect in increasing the consumption. The beef market price is, therefore, the highest price at which the beef can be moved into consumption while it is fresh. : “When the packer is face to face with the condition of a sluggish trade where he is obliged to make conces- sions in the selling price in order to move the beef, which frequently hap- pens, he naturally tries to buy his cattle at lower prices in line with the new market conditions, has not a de- mand for as many cattle as usual, which occasions wg'al is termed in the trade a ‘glut’ in the market and cattle in order to be sold have to be sold at a concession in price to stimulate the dentand. “Glut” Not Favorable. “The live stock people from theit testimony seem to be under the im- pression that a glut in the live stock market is favorable to the packer, while as a matter of fact it is always receded by a glut in the beef mar- et, which occasions a heavy loss to the packer and with continved heavy receipts of live stock may mean sev- eral weeks of losses to the packer be- fore normal conditions reassert them- selves, As a matter of fact, rea- sonably stable prices would be most satisfactory for the cattleshipper, the slaughterer and the retailer were it possible to secure them, but under the present haphazard method of market- ing live stock, such a condition is im- I assume it is well known to all of you that the present prices of live stock are very remunerative to the roducers. Congressman Kent in- ormed me a fortnight ago that his partner Mr. Burke had advised him that the last cattle they sold showed them a profit of $30 per head. I think it would be just reasonable for the packers to ask congress to make an investigation of Mr. Burke and a thousand of other shippers who are making such a good profit on their cattle this year as it is for Congress- man Borland to want the packers in- vestigated for the unfavorable condi- tions of last year. I would like to point out to Confireslmnn Borland that the same five firms buying cattle this year at these very remunerative yrices to the producer, are the same ive firms he complained of last year, and the reason for the high prices to- day are the same as the reason for the low prices of a year ago, namely “con- ditions.” In a nutshell, owing to the industrial conditions last year it was not possible to market as many cattle as were marketed at any higher prices, .| while this year, owing to improved in- t they would get more money for cattle if there was more competition in buying; in other words, more firms in the industry, more people to buy cattle. This . | would, of course, mean more competi- tion in buying, cause higher prices for cattle, more competition in selling, would cause beef to be sold eheaper. do two things—narrow hterer's ent margin which is as small he business can be conducted on and at the same time in_cge_ue the cost of doing business b dividing it up into smaller units, wit| the ultimate result that there waquld be no margin of profit, and probably the business would be conducted at a loss which means that the survivors would be the people whose income came glrhllly from other business than t or that of any firm, was decreased a or 50 per cent, it would not be ' within the limits of possibility to cut down the expenses so as to make the cost of doing business the same as with the present volume. Some Statistics. “I want here to give you these 0 = 13 | statistics—that the average sold price of beef through all of Armour & Co.'s branch houses in the United States for the calendar year of 1914 was 12 cents a pound, and the average sold price of beef through the same houses in the year 1915 was 11% cents a pound, and the purchase price of all raded and kinds of cattle by Armour Co,, for the year 1914 was $7.12, while in the year 1915 it was $7.06, a decrease of 6 cents per hundred ight, or less than 1-16 of 1 cent per pound, showing clearly that cattle did not sell much. lower and beef did sell much lowe: And I want to offer this chart, made up from our records, in two colored lines the fluctuations in Armour & Co, Yurchue price for cattle, and lhg selling price of beef in the United States for the last three Lest there be any confusion on your minds as to how we do our busi- ness, I want to say that we do not sell at retail, but to the retail butchers, It has been said here that the price at retail does no fluctuate with the price of live cattle, That is a separate branch of the trade and a subject on dustrial conditions, more cattle are being "marke!ed at much higher prices.

A gang of men has been employed grading and spad- ing the base ball park at Twenty- seventh and R streets. No expense has been spared to make the park one of the most modern in the city. A circular race track is being built | within the park, to be used by track; runners. It is the intention of Mr.| Howe to have an athletic team for every branch of sport, if possible. Foot ball, track, base ball and basket ball are the four branches that prob- ably will be most popular.

In preliminary trial in police court cach man attempted to fasten the blame on the other: It developed that Sears had hired a-team.of mules at a local livery barn, after two attempts. Later, after hiring Bailey to help him, the two drove to the alley be- hind the Murphy place and were in “e act of loading the sacks when espied by Harding and Murphy. Their arrest followed. 3 Detectives Gillen and Allen dis- covered that Sears had attempted to contract with a local man for a large | number of sacks.
