Test to determine the feasibility of receiving radio messages aboard air planes will be made this morning, with WOAW as the broadcasting sta tion. An airplane will take off from Buf falo, N. Y.. at S tills morning, ascend ing by spirals over the city and Lake Erie, in an attempt to set an altitude record. The plane will be equipped with radio receiving apparatus to de termine what difference, if any, vari ous altitudes will make in the receiv ing of messages. Orson Stiles, chief clerk to \\ A. Fraser, sovereign commander of the Woodman of the World, in whose building station WOAW is located, stated that the following message was received Saturday from the Howell Klectrie company at Huffalo, promo ters of the test: "We are all set to go.

Buckingham Explains Workings of Stockyards . — ' Stockyards Company Merely “Bridge” Between Rail j roads and Final Buyer, Declares Vice President, Who Fails to See Harm in Armour Morris Merger. « x "The actual workings of a large stockyard, where a livestock market is maintained, probably is less under stood than almost any other public utility," said Kverelt Buckingham, vice president-executive officer of the Omaha Union Stockyards company. "Many people believe that the Stockyards company employs the commission men, buys livestock for the packers, and that It lias, in a gen eral way, control over prices paid for livestock, but such is not (lie case. The Stockyards company simply pro vides the facilities and service for tlie aocommodation of livestock from the time railroads deliver the ship ments at the market until they pass into the hands of the buyer — be he shipper, feeder-buyer or packer; in other words, it is simply the bridge over which livestock passes from the railroads to the final buyer, whether! it is Uie local pa< kers who buy for | slaughter, or others who buy to take J the stock back to the country for, feeding puit'oses, or to ship to other ! markets or killing plants. Independents Increase. "In reference to the merger of the1 Armour and Morris Packing compa nies, J cannot see where there will be a decrease in competition or that it will in any way affect the prices re ceived by the prudoicers, as there are too many independent iso-king plants and they are springing up all the time. According to figures furnished by the stockyards packer administra tion, the nunjber of independent pack ing plants has Increased 10 per cent in the last four years. "In addition to Armour & Co., tiie Cudahy Packing eojnpany. Hold ti Uo..

In ref utation of that charge l refer to the case of Hoffman Brothers, whose packing plant was built about |n years ago. Their building Is located on land sold them by the local stock yards company. This also applies to the Mid-West Packing company, whose plant was completed and put in operation in 191k.

Enough money consideration was also paid Mayarowich & Vail to enable the firm to build its present modern plant. The Higgins Packing company also had an old plant located where the horse barn now is, for which it was given a good price, enabling it to put up its modern plant adjacent to the stock yards company property. The Skin ner Packing company, now operated hy Dold & Co., purchased a tract of land in the stockyards district and put up a fine, modern plant, while the stockyards company cheerfully went into an agreement with it to furnish a considerable portion of the driveway for livestock from the stock yards to its plant. "The management of the stock yards, together with representatives of the Omaha Livestock exchange, have been endeavoring to get Wilson * Co. to locate at Omaha, but on ac count of war and after-war condi tions, as well as attacks from various sources on the larger packers of which Wilson & Co. is one, nothing was ac complished.

Two Brownings Held for Trial in Murder Case Judge Binds- Defendants 0\er to District Court on Sec ond Degree Charge — Ronds $25,000 Each. Halt Lake City, May 12.—Holding that the slaying of Benjamin K. Bal lantyne at his home here April 9, was not committed with premeditation, nor could it be attributed to self-defense, City Judge Noel S. Pratt today bound over Marriner A. and John M. Brown ing, jr., defendants, to the district court on charges of second degree murder. Bond for the defendants was fixed at $25,000 each. v. Thirty minute* later the Brown ings were enroute to their home in Ogden, the bonds for $50,000 having been signed by tire fathers of the tuo accused men, M, H Browning, father of Marri/ier and John M. Browning, sr., the noted inventor, father of John Browning. The defense attempted to bring out ; that the killing of Ballantyne was ! "Justifiable homicide," while the pros 1 ecution endeavored to show that Bal lantyne was killed "with malice afor thought" and hene« the defendants should he 1 round over on a first de- ; gree murder charge. Judge Pratt declared that from tlie evidence he could not justify either of these views. That Ballantyne was killed by n shot fired by Marrlner Browning was not disputed, tlie court pointed out. Continuing, Judge Pratt said that if the killing of the former hank teller was in self defense. It would constitute a justifiable homicide hut that the court "found there was not sufficient evidence to hold the killing of Ballantyne justifiable.” Postoffice Vacancies.
