i t V South Side LIVE STOCK MEN HEAR VIEWS OF GOV. fHELVIE State Executive Emphasizes Necessity of Doing Some thing to Stabilize Market. J A boyinesi meeting this morning at the Exchange, a luncheon at the. Chamber of Commerce and an auto ride around Greater Omaha will conclude the program of the fourth annual convention of the National Live Stock Traders' exchange which opened yesterday. Governor S. R. McKelvie was the principal speaker following the luncheon yesterday noon in the Ex change dining hall. Hon. John N. Tanner and W. B. Tagg also spoke. Governor McKelvie's Speech. Governor McKelvie's speech in part follows: "There can be no doubt that the keeping of live stock is essential to the successful agricultural develop ment of a state like Nebraska. It facilitates the rotation of crops and contributes largely to the mainte nance of soil fertility. "Nebraska has been one of the leading live stock states in the un ion. It stands high in the produc tion of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep. "The condition of the live stock industry in this state is not satis factory, in spite of the need for beef, pork and mutton as foods, and re gardless of the fact that the keep ing of live stock enters so strongly into the scheme of successful farm management. For instance, I have before me now the figures from thirty-five representative counties of the state, which indicate the relative numbers and value of horses, cattle and hogs for the years 1918 and 1919, as shown by assessors' reports: "Horses. 1919, 328,494; valuation, $4,696,076; horses, 1918, 351,544; val uation. $5,579,507. Cattle, 1919,. 1, 006,396; valuation; $9,872,862; cattle, 1918, 1,048,079; valuation, $9,810,920. Hogs, 1919, 694,156; valuation, $3, 458,931 : hogs. 1918, 843,912; valua tion, $3,385,896. "These figures indicate that in these thirty-five counties the num ber of cattle has decreased during 'the past year, 41,683 head, or approx imately 4 per cent, and the number of hogs in the same counties during Jhe last year has decreased 149,752 head ,or approximately 18 per cent. "I have no doubt that these rela tive percentages will obtain throughout the entire state. Must Stabilize Market. "I shall not try to define all of the reasons for this rapjdly chang ing condition, but I do ' feel that something must be done to stabilize the market prices that are paid for live stock, as one of the principal means for encouraging farmers to engage in ; live-stock production. "The "waT period was a very hard" one on live-stock farmers; though prices were high, the profits realized by producers were comparatively small, and in many instances heavy losses .were sustained. Since the war, the condition has not material ly improved, for while a very hand some range of profits is promised to the hog growers, the feeders of cat tle have lost very heavily during the mogt recent months. "The wide fluctuation in prices that obtains in the live-stock market is a thing that discourages the live stock breeder and feeder. The con--dition assumes the proportion of a gamble in which high-priced feeds is not an uncertain tjuantity. "I think there are large acreages of pasture that are not being grazed this year, for the very reason that farmers were afraid to buy cattle at prevailing prices and with a rap idly declining market confronting them. I know that on the farm in Clay county, where I was born and reared, fewer cattle are kept this year than ever before, and the pas tures are going unused. I think the grazing regions of Nebraska would pasture a much larger number of cattle than are being kept there now. These are matters that must be given most earnest and thoughtful attention at the hands of those who are in a position to influence these conditions. If the farmer can grow corn and wheat and other cereals at a reasonable profit and without the risk involved 4hat accompanies the keeping of live stock, you may depend 'upon it that that is the course which he will pursue. In this he is actuated by the very same motives that would prompt anyone Constipation Results When Hot Weather Stops Exercise WHEN Jhe system has become accustomed to a certain dairy routine of exercise and food, health is quick to suffer if that rout be is interfered with.

Col, Matt Tinley of Council Bluffs, commander of the 189th infantry, told of the preparations for the final stand against the big German push and of the allied counter-offensive that marked the turning point of the war. A vivid description of a memorial service' for their dead comrades with a Hun plane causing destruction from above held the 150 delegates, women and local dealers present, in awe for several moments. The talk followed a ' tardy banquet at Happy Hollow in the evening. An auto trip occupied the latter part of the afternoon. Addresses by Mr. John Brown, president of the Federated Meat Packers asso ciation; by, A. Sykes of Ida Grove, la., and by Dr. A. W. Miller of the Bureau of Animal Industry of Washington will precede the busi ness session this morning. Officers will be chosen for the coming year and a meeting of the new executive committee held before the enter tainment program of the afternoon is begun. Vigo rous rrotest Against Proposed Laws Made by Howe A vigorous protest against the proposed national legislation to reg ulate the packers was made by R. C. Howe, general manager of Ar mour & Co.'s packing plant here, in a short and biting speech at the morning session of the traders' con vention yesterday morning. Spe cial reference was made to the Ken yon and Kendrick bills before con gress, which, according to Mr. Howe, "would place the whole great packing industry at the will of a government official." "We are drifting into socialism," said Mr Howe. "Just because the packers have built up'- an efficient business and are thereby making" money they are being accused of making their profits illegally. The new legislation regulating packers is framed by men who want-something done and don't know how to get it. They will break down ef ficiency and initiative. They vir tually say that anyone may come and slaughter anything they want to. It regulates the stock yards, tells the packers what they can or can't buy and even extends to the newspapers that print market, quo tations. It is the first step to li cense all interstate business." The speaker was loudly applaud-' ed by practically all the delegates present. He sketched each of the five provisions of the bilk, giving his opinion of their probable effect on all concerns allied with the live stock industry. Veteran Cudahy Employe Dies at Age of 76 Years Luke Gaughan, 76 years old, living at Twenty-third and Q streets, died at St. Catherines hospital yesterday. He has been a resident of the South Side for 30 years and for the' past 20 years has been an employe of the Cudahy Packing Co. He was ill for about two weeks. He is survived by three sons, John, Edward and Peter, and two daughters, Mrs. May Tyler and Mrs. Lou Crossnicker. Gompers Sails for Holland To Attend Labor Meeting New York( July 11.

Parks, business man of Yu tan; Mr. Lindquist, Waterloo, and County Commissioner Compton lunched with the trade extension and the retail trade committees of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, and to some extent went over the prooosed cauntry road paving. Mr. rarks assured the members ot the committee that the residents of the eastern portion of Saunders county propose to aid in obtaining bridge over the Platte river on the line of Center street, extended. With the bridge constructed on the line of the Center street road, Mr. Parks believes that eventually Saunders county would pave from the bridge west. Mr. Lindquist assured the mem bers of the committee that practi cally all of the people of Waterloo favor the Center street road propo sition, and are strong for a 'bridge over the Platte near Yutan. County Commissioner Compton said an all-steel bridee over the Platte-could be erected for- about $125,000. Should a bridge be built in, the vicinity of Yutan, Douglas county would gay, one-fourth; Saunders county, one-fourth, and the state, one-half of the cost. No Divorce Suit Filed In Omaha by Mrs. George May There is no suit for divorce on file in the district court of Doug las county against George May, Omaha .man arrested'last night at Storm Lake, la., after an alleged felonious assault upon his wife. Dispatches stated that Mrs. May has been living in Sioux Rapids with her parents since starting di vorce proceedings in Omaha. The alleged assault occurred in an automobile while Mrs. May was returning with her brother-in-law from Rembrandt. May is reported to have choked and beaten his wife with the butt of a revolver. The brother-in-law rescued her and May is said to have fled. A posse was formed and captured May. and beat him up badly before Sheriff W. N. Hottman arrived and took charge of him. May is in jail at Storm Lake, charged with assault with in tent to 'commit murder. Allege Negro Musicians Did Not Belong to Union W. R. Dalby, president of the lo cal musicians' union, testified in District Judge Troup's court yester day that the alleged transfer cards fsorr. the Buxton, la., musicians' union, presented to the local union by Lawrence Parker and other negro musicians, were an obsolete issue and not legally obtained. He said this was the only reason why the cards were not accepted. Parker and 12 other negroes lost their contract to play at Krug park this summer when local union musi cians protested against them on the ground that they were not a union orchestra. Parker and his asso ciates are now seeking an injunc tion to prevent the local musicians' union from interfering with them. To Complete Reorganization.

Six Automobiles Stolen Yesterday; Total forU Days, 20 With police apparently powerless to cope with the situation, six more automobiles were stolen from downtown streets in Omaha yester day. Yesterdays toll brings the total for 11 days to 20 machines stolen and not recovered. Insurance men, aroused by the unchecked activities of the thieves, have been beseeching Governor Mc Kelvie for aid. State agents, it is understood, have ceased devoting their time to checking whisky smuggling and are seeking to recover stolen automo biles. The same situation prevails now in Omaha as existed last year when Folice Commissioner Ringer trans ferred most of his efficient automo bile detectives to other duties. At the present time the automo bile squad is made up mostly of men with little experience in that line. The automobiles stolen yesterday were owned by Dr. A. F.

Hegg was suspended and threat ened with charges. The charges have not been field, although City Commissioner Ringer announced a week ago that they had been pre pared. The officer was serving as chauf feur for the morals squad on the night of the raid at the Brown apartments. He testified that Detectives Herd- rina and Armstrong had been drink ing and that Armstrong staggered when he alighted fom the automo bile at his home.
