CATTLE Light receipts of cattle here
and elsewhere are glvlug a better tone
to the trade. Prices on the best kinds of
fat steers were strong to as much as 10c
Mgher than the ciose of last week, and
otner kinds were fully steady. Cows and
hellers were active and generally 10c
higher. Trere was a fair demand for
wnat few stocker and feeder cattle there
were here and they generally commanded
good firm trices.
yuarai.tlno regulations covering ship
ments In and out of this market remain
the same as detailed previously In these
columns. All shipments of stock from
vast of the Missouri river and trom the
i-tates of Missouri, Kansas and South
Dakota are still barred from the South
Omaha market except for mimedlate
slaughter, or for shipment to other points
for slaughter. There is nothing In the
regulations to prevent stockmen frotnj
Iowa and all other states buying clean
western feeders on this market and ship
ping them out. The national regulations
provide that stock crossing a state line
and billed as stockers and feeders must
be shipped in cleaned and disinfected
cars. Stock may be shipped across state
lines for Immediate slaughter without the
necessity of th ecars being cleaned or
disinfected.

SHEKP Under the Influence of mod
erate receipts and an Increased local and
shipping demand, the sheep market was
brisk and fully ld4j'2Sc higher on lambs,
ewes and yearlings, them being If any
wethers here to ssieak of. In cases the
advance on lambs wss mors than that.
Chicago was reported as having only S.OuO
head on sale, and this in itself served as
a bullish factor. The local receipts wers
estimated at 7,V head, against (.221 a
week ago. P1.2M two weeks ago and 12,17k
a year ago. There was a larger per
centage of Mexicans than usual, which
partly accounts for the bulk of the lambs
selling at a high rang of priest. Most
of ths sales were made at 8S.u-'ii,v80, with
several loads of Mexicans at the latter
figure. The top on fed westerns was
.60. Kwes had a spread largely at 86
8.7S. There waa nothing doing In feeding
and shearing sheep, ihe middle ofKhe
forenoon saw must of the offerings
weighed up.

POSTOFFICE MEN
Clerks of Omaha Office Hold Mass
Meeting and Debate Uniting
With Federation of Labor.
WHARTON IS AGAINST REPORT
Probably on of the biggest meet
ings of the. locnl poiitofflce clerka
held during the last two years waa
the one held Sunday at the eld
Army building at Fifteenth and
Dodge. $0 moved were the clerks
that the officers and the few paci
fiers had a hard time to keep the
peace, the breach coming when a
number of the members demanded
that the association affiliate with the
National Federation of Labor. The
Deader of this movement said:
ine time has come wnen me civu
service employes of this country
must unite with labor and labor
unions and fight the crushing hand
of the spoilsman. We are today
about to witness the tearing down
of what it took years to build up
the present businesslike method of
the Omaha postofftce as established
and maintained by our distinguished
postmaster and assistants selected
for their ability and not for political
reward or through favoritism.
More World fewer Men.
"No employe in the Omaha post
offtce will say anything but that the
Omaha office Is in better working
condition, doing more work with less
men, and more efficient work than it
has done In the last twenty years. It
is high time that we call upon that
great body of labor to protect us from
this centralized power at Washing
ton." At the conclusion of this speech it
was voted to affiliate, when another
discussion arose as to the advisability
of doing so at this time.
After several hours of debate It was
finally decided to lay on the table.
. Committees were appointed to draw up
resolutions and wire all Nebraska con
gressmen, Senators Hitchcock and Nor
rls, also Postmaster General Burleson,
protesting against the recommendations
of the efficiency committee.
When mention wag made of Postmaster
Wharton's stand he wss given a wild
demonstration.
Clerks Dear Meetlaat.
OMAHA, Feb. 21.--T0 the Kdltor of The
Bee: In this morning' Uua of Ths Bee
tFebruary 22) an article la printed re
porting the action of the local poslofflcs
clerks holding a protest meeting Hoard
ing the finding of the efficiency board
tliat Investigated the Omaha postofftce
during the last ten week, and condemn
ing the action of the board; also that
member of the association demanded
that th postofflce clerk unit with the
American Federation of Labor, t wish
to stat In answer to that article thnt the
meeting was a regular monthly masting
of Branch No. 21. and during the time
of opening and closing of that mrwtlng.
at which I was present all the time, no
such action was taken by the organisa
tion a was stated In your paper. The
action taken at the meeting wa hat a
committee wa appointed to draw up
resolution of protest against a provision
In the poitofflc appropriation bill against
the department's recommendation of bi
ennial promotion, Instead of th present
system of annual promotion whl:h th
postofflc employe enjoy under the sal
ary classification act of 1907. I feel sure
that you did not Intentionally moan to
put the postofflce clerk In this city In
an embarrassing position by publishing
an article which 1 not the trutli, and
trust that you will take step to correct
the m. Very truly your,
A. 8. COHN.
Wharton's Fir as Stand.'
Declaring that he doe not expect th
Postofflce department at Washington to
adopt the recommendations of an "effi
ciency" board for a big shaks-up In th
local postofflce. Postmaster John C.
Wharton ha come eut with a positive
statement on the board's recommenda
tions, which he say are wholly without
reason, ,
"I don't expect the board' recommenda
tions will be adopted," Postmaster Whar
ton says. "In fact, t am very confident
that Its report will not be put Into ef
fect, because there I not a single reason
whyi It should be, and there I every good
reason for continuing the Omaha post
office force Just as It Is now.'
Meat Faltafal aad Efficient.
"The men who would be concerned In
the proposed changes are most faithful
and efficient, and always have arid still
are rendering splendid service in the posi
tions thy now hold. 80 much for effi
ciency; and a to the righteousness of th
matter, I am positive that the only fair
thing for the government to do I to re
tain It old and faithful employe In their
present places. Just as long a they ar
fully able and willing to in their work."
As to the suggestion that politic may
have figured In the "efficiency" board's
report, the postmaster says he doesn't
think there was any politics In It, as two
of the thrco Inspectors, W. F. AHman
and A, L. Lewis, are republicans, In
siector II. E. Randall being the only
democrat.
Part of General Plan.
"Under the present administration,"
Postmaster Wharton continues, "the In
clination hss been to weed out the old
and Inefficient postal employes. The
Omaha recommendations are quite mild,
compared to those made for other first
class n'toffices around the country,
where th services of many men In omo
rases have been entirely done awsy with.
But In the Omaha postofflce, 1 feel sure
that there Is not a single case of Ineffi
ciency, and I am so positive of that fact
that I have written a fourteen-page letter
to th department to accompany the In
spector' report and urge that their re
ommendations shall not be adopted.
Watodard lavalaabl as Assistant.
"Assistant Postmaster James I. YVood
ard, who is recommended for demotion
and decrease In salary. Is familiar with
every department of the postofflce, has
been an employe for forty-two years and
In his present position for thirty-one
years. His acquaintance alone Is In
valuable to postofflce patrons, and his
removal from the assistant postmaster's
chair would be a move for Inefficiency,
rather that efficiency.'
As to Colonel Henry C. Akin, postal
cashier, whose resignation is recom
mended. Postmaster Wharton declare
that when the board wa Investigating
bc-re. It asked Akin If he would Lake a

clerkship and he refused, saying that a
he ha recently inherited so mo money,
he does not have to work In a menial
capacity and would rather resign.
Akln'a Resignation In,
"Colonel Akin did hand In his resigna
tion," the postmaster continued, "but I
valued his scrvlcos so highly that I re
fused to accept It or ssnd It In to Wash
ington. I have It in my aaf now and
will use It only If the department adopt
the board's .report and demote Colonel
Akin or asks for his resignation, which
I am sure It will not do.
"Bo far a George W. Kleffner I con
cerned, he I one of the most persistent,
cnergetle and efficient worker in the
whole postofftce, and a man eminently
fitted for the position he fills a assistant
superintendent In charge of the letter
carrier. The Inspectors say he was once
a carrier himself, and so I liable to be
too eaay on the carrier. Put I Insist
that a man who ha risen from the rank
of the carrier I Just the man to handle
them most efficiently.
Kleffner Defends Hie Men.
"I suspect that the reason a reduction
In rank Is now recommended for Kleffner,
whom the board would shove down to
the Union depot substation, la that he I
a very poaitlve and outspoken man and
had nerve enough to boldly argue and
take exception to the Ideas and criticisms
of Inspector Lewi of Oklahoma, who
I Just as positive. .The two frequently
argued during the efflclennv canvas, be
cause Kleffner defended ths experienced
men whom the board marked for dis
missal or demotion."
C. W. Kaltelr, now superintendent of
the Union depot substation, I recom
mended to take the place of W. A. Kelly,
In charge of the registry division. Mr.
Wharton says that Kelly ha volunteered
to step out and take a clerkship. The
former avers that so long as Kelly Is
willing to follow the board auggestlons,
the postmaster heartily approved of
Kaltelr for Kelly' position. '
Will la Rlgtkt riaee. '
"Concerning Charles F. Wllle, now
superintendent of the , money order
division and recommended by the board
to take Mr. Woodard's place as asslstsnt
postmsster,". says Postmaster Wharton,
"I insist that Wllle Is needed right where

there. I am urging the department to
keep him at the head of the money order
division, but wltb a substantial salary In.
crease.
"If Colonel Akin' resignation la ac
cepted, I shall urge that Charles McQIU,
recommended for Wllle' place, be given
Colonel Akln's place as postal cashier
Instead, which would give McGiy the pro
motion and salary Increase that he Justly
deserves. E. I. Hong, now superintend

tainly Insist will he most efficient in
that place. 1 am urging his retention
there, with a salary Increase in the near

ALLIES HYPOCRITES
Prince Said Salim, Grand Vizier,
Asserts His People Desire Chance

DENIES UNDER KAISER'S THUMB
CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb 28.
(Via London.) Prince Said Sallm,
the . Brand vlilen. of Turkey, in the
first interview he. has ever given,
baa outlined to the Associated Press
Turkey'a reason (or entering the war.
He explained the abolition ot the
capitulations and pointed out the ad
vances made during the last six
years.
Wherefore ef Rejeetlea.
"We have rejected the triple en
tente' offer to guarantee Turkey'a
integrity for thirty years,' anld the
grand vlsler, "because acceptance
would have been detrimental to Tur
key's sovereignty. Turkey'a experi
ence with the promises made by the
powers forming the triple entente
(Great Britain, Franca and Russia)
has not been favorable to the promo
tion of confidence.
A Haras fat Carter.
"Turkey knew that to enter Into rela
tions with- Great Britain, France and
Limit would hsve born a harmful factor
In respect te th country' Interest. Rus
sia, moreover, Is our hereditary enemy,
from whom w could not expect lasting
efforts of a change of heart Had th
past action of thrse power been differ
ent, the psge of history which I now be
ing writton might have read differently.
' We were tired of the hypocrisy actu
ating the powers of the triple entente
when dealing with Turkey: so we did
what provocation forced us to do went
to war.
tlbjert ot Falsehoods. '
"Turkey was made the object of many
falsehoods by th entent. New the allies
assert that the government lack th sup
port of th people. Could w make such
a good military showing, after the recent
war and other troubles. If the govern
ment had not obtained the hearty co
operation of all Ottoman?
"The fact Is, th present war how
Turkey even more united than we had
expected. The assertion that we would
be unable ever to force the many racial
elements into a strong whole have been
completely refuted. That Turkey Is ca
pable of developing the highest form of
national solldsrity Is a demonstrated fact.
Want a ( hanee.
"The Turkish people want a chance to
work out their destiny. Our start six
year ago was good. Much ha been ac
compllahed slready everywher In mate
rial and Intellectual progress. We have
Initiated measures promoting the well be
ing of tho people In Constantinople. To
day we have electrlo traction, telephones,
treet lights, good police, clesn, wcll

versity admitting women. Public health
hss been conserved, vc curbed.
"I realise that there l much to do, but
the world should not forget that our
means are limited and that we have here
tofore been much hampered by the capitu
lations Not ftavaa People.
"W are not a barbaric people, not
savages, not black, not brown, not yellow,
but white, with every right of the other
white races, 4 peoplo willing to Invest Its
wealth and blood In the opportunity to

"Turkey hss been misrepresented ami
misunderstood; hence It Is lacking the
sympathy to which It Is entitled. Hereto
fore wo wer the pawn in Kutope'a poli

considered. We were tired of this and
now are fighting for th chance to have
Turkey exist for the sake of Turkey.
"The claim that Turkey is bound to

absurd. Hsve Austria-Hungary and Italy
passed under ths sway ot their powerful

Matter of Schools.
"Th matter of foreign schools Is sinipl j
enough. We propose to give these Insti
tution the status enjoyed by them In the
United States, the management continu

accomplish by th abolition of th capitu
lation was th elimination ef th small
states within Turkey created by tht
