THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 12, 1910. 13 South Side OMAHA PACKER RETURNS FROM TRIP TO IRELAND Patrick O'Dea Says Ireland Prospering and Many Re ports of Riots Are False. "U.ity reports of riots and up risings in Ireland are made tip 'rom whole cloth' and sent out in news paper articles, which are not en tirely true," said Patrick O'Dea, a leading independent packer of the South Side, who returned Thursday from, a short visit to his boyhood home in Ireland. Mr. O'Dea left for the Emerald Isle last October and says he had" con siderable difficulty in getting a pass port which was issued after several days being consumed in unwinding goverment red tape. The maioritv of the Irish oeonle over there, I found most prosper ous," continued Mr. O'Dea." , I learned during the past four years they have been getting war prices for their products and that the war did not greatly draw upon the man power of Ireland, although many a good Irishman was quick to enlist. "One of those that joined the Eng lish colon was the son of an old friend of mine of bovhood davs. and when England called for troops this "young fellow's wife gent him away and good luck to ye. If ye lick the Dutch as often as you have me, ye'll come back a major general in the British army. "I found the Irish people too pros perous to pty attention to politics, and the majority of them seemed too busy to take part in the much reported uprisings, although they are 'agin' the government, which is no more than natural. "Barring the United States, Ire land is the finest country in the world, and I ' am contented and pleased to get back to good ' old Omaha, and spend the rest of my days fighting the beef trust in prefer ence to fighting for existence and justice among the bogs of the Old Sod." . Howe Issues Statement On Change Which He Will Make January 1 R. C. Howe, general manager of the local Armour plant, who recent ly announced his resignation from ;he Armour company and his con nection with the Skinner Packing company as vice president and gen eral manager, which position he will assume January 1, 1920, last night "Yes, I presume it is quite a sur prise to most people that I have made this change, but I did it be :ause I frit this proposition was a very fcood one and there is . room ;nougn in the field for another busi ness of this kind. I fee satisfied we re going to make it a success and I vanted to'ally myself with a new en terprise and ha-ve the satisfaction of teeing it grow. ' "It will mean hard work for some ime as the outlets have to be de 'elope'd, but I feel assured we will ;radually gather round us a client ge that will give us a Very good olume of permanent and paying business. I will also say the success if this business is going to show the niblic at large that the so-called 'big ive' do not dominate the live stock business of the United States." Stock Shippers Get Notices of Changes In Government Rules ' Attention of live stock shippers to the South Side stock yards was di rected Thursday by stock yards of ficials to changes in regulations gov erning tock shipments, which go into effect by the United States rail road administration December 11.

AEROPLANE sLOjL ( JL one r&Pl JL2 SL 1 ' r ItJWKE TO ee 1 rgfe i- GIVE UP HOPE OF ENACTING RAIL LEGISLATION NOW Strong and Unexpected Oppo sition Develops to Cum mins Bill in U. S. Senate. Washington, Dec. 12. Hope of enacting railroad legislation by Jan uary 1, the date on which President Wilson has announced the( roads would be turned back to private con trol, virtually was abandoned today by senate leaders. Strong and unexpected opposition developed during consideration of the Cummins bill, designed to meet conditions with the end of govern ment control, and it was By a slim and narrow margin that its advocates defeated a motion to set it aside and take up the sugar control measure. In view of the short time remain ing before the Christmas recess and the fact that the Cummins bill, if passed, must be sent to conference with the Esch bill, recently passed by the house, republican and demo cratic senators predicted that it would not be humanly possible to frame a law by thd end of the month, even if congress kept stead ily and continuously at work. Upturn Disappointing. The dav's UDtum was keenly dis appointing to friends of the Cum mins bill, which would have been passed Monday, with less than a score of senators voting, except for a demand by Senator La Follette, republican of Wisconsin, ior a quorum. On an aye and nay vote the bill was passed and Vice Presi dent Marshall was ready to an nounce the result when the obvious absence of a quorum upset the whole proceeding and reopened discussion. Duriner an address today in which he. made a sharp demand for imme diate action, Senator Underwood, democrat of Alabama, took notice of widely circulated rumors that the president would not return the roads to their owners January 1. Senator Underwood frankly announced that he did not know what President Wil son interded to do. "But," he added, "the president has said that he would turn them back the first of the year and it has been my observation that when he said he would do a thing he did it." Fights Sidetracking Bills. Takincr uo for the time being the minority leadership, Senator Under wood fought off attempts to side track ths railroad bill and defended it against attacks by members of his own party. While he did not ap Drove all of its orovisions he de clared it protected the financial inter ests of tne roads and did not un duly burden the public. j The principal attack on the bill was made by Senator La Follette, who already had spoken two full days and who has not yet ap proached the end of his long ad dress. After he had been steadily opposing the measure for two hours Senator La Follette temporarily yielded the floor to Senator Mc Kellar, democrat, Tennessee, who was proceeding to demand elimina tion of certain provisions, character ized as "bolshevistic," when he halted suddenly and announced that he did not intend to speak to empty benches. In the lone snarl which the sen ate found itself while trying to de cide whether to continue with the railroad bill or take up the sugar bill, the lack of interest in pending railroad legislation was bitterly at tacked from both sides of the chamber. Almost an hour was lost todav in Quorum calls which Sen ator Smoot. reDublican. Utah, de nounced as inexcusable, with a vital ly important question before con gress. But in the two-hour wrangle not on the sugar bill itself, but the question of taking it up re publicans and democrats had on their fighting clothes, with the dis cussion far afield. Can Now Show Profit. In his argument against the bill, Senator La Follette declared its en actment would add to the cost of living because an increase in freight rates would come with the end of government control, which, he in sisted, had been eminently success ful. Senator La Follette said he had been assured "by competent men in the Railroad administration" that the crest of the hill had been reached and that government oper ation "would show a profit from this time on, and that there would be no need for an increase in rates." Sentor McKellar's objection to the Cummins bill was that it would take a part of the earnings from a rail road properly managed and render ing efficient service and give it to a road poorly managed and of little benefit to the public. He character ized the provision as "indefensible." There was a suggestion from a number of senators after adjourn ment tonight that it might be neces sary to defer the Christmns recess. It also was suggested that the sen ate endeavor to oMain ?rom the president a statement as to his plans for the turning back of the roads, in view of his silence on this ques tion since his message to the ex traordinary session of consrress last May Market and Industrial News of the Day LIVE STOCK Receipts were Cattle Hor.

Chicago, Dec. 11. Pronounced weakness developed in the corn market today, chief ly as a result of btg breaks in foreign exchange. The close was heavy, ITsO to 3r net lower, with January, $135?4 to $1.35. and May, $1.32 to $1,32. Oats lost lc to lc and provisions 20c to 42c. It took but little time for attention In the corn pit to focus on the extreme de pression of sterling and francs. Besides, the actual settlement of the coal strike brought with it a deslrs on the part of many holders to realize on their anticipa tions, especially ss larger receipts and moderating temperatures promised to act as a weight on values. Under the circum stances an opening show of strength as sociated more or less with higher quota tions on hogs disappeared quickly and with Indications of free selling by the country ths market kept on the down grade until the finish, with no avtdence at any time of much power to rally. Oats paralleled the action ot corn. Most of the pressure cam from liquidating ssles. Talk of a poor outlook for exports more than counterbalanced in ths provision mar ket the fact that hog prices were higher. Discouragement about 'exports was as cribed to the collapse ot exchange rates. Articles Open 1 High Low Close Yes y Corn.

Weakness took pos session of ths corn market today after soms snow or strength at tne outset. Sharp new breaks In foreign exchange, to gether with larger receipts and moderating temperature, had a bearish effect. Tha settlement of the coal strike was also In fluential as a motive for selling. Initial prices, which rangsd from to 1 cents higher, with January $1.31 to $1.38 and May $1.24 to $1.35. were followed by a setback to well below yesterday's finish. No Important rally tookPlace and to ward the last tha depression became more and more pronounced. Prices closed neavy, i3c net lower, wun January $1.3641.35 and May $1.8201.82.

Settlement of the coal strike Infused a semblance of strength In the stock market at the outset of to day's operations, but this was speedily dissipated when foreign exchange, partic ularly the British rate, manifested more acute weakness. Thers were no actual developments to explsin the furthar alarming depreciation of International exchange, other than re ports on the exchange that the present session of congress probably would oppose ths authorization of foreign credits or loans. The Mexican situation also assumed mora delicate aspects, rumor In connec tion with foreign owned ooneesslon In that country accounting mainly for ths general depression of actlvs petroleum Is sues. Advsnces In price of structural steel and kindred product were attributed by trade authorities not so much to immediate or prospective demand as to the widely recognized fact that supplle were un usually low becauss of reduced output The money markst held consistently to Its recent rigid course, call loans opening at 7 per cent and advancing to 10 per cent with the approach of ths hour but ths large part of the day' negotiation were negotiated at the lower figure. Stocks registered their minimum quota tions In the later dealings, whsn rails, especially Canadian Pacific, developed marked weakness. The general list, not ably motor, oil and steel issues, soon joined In the reaction, the market closing In weakness and disorder. Sales amounted to 935,000 shares. In soms quarters ths theory was ad vanced that existing adverse movements of exchange made foreign liquidation of American stocks profitable, but this form of reasoning found few supporters In bank ing circles. The action of the federal re serve banks In ordering another increase of interest and discount rates, did not be come generally known until long after the closs of the stock market, All classes of! bonds, domestic and foreign were variably lower on larger and more diversified dealings.

Deit zer Ordered Cruel Punish ment of Prisoners. New York, Dec. 11. Capt. Kan W. Deitrer, charged with brutality to prisoners in France, on sever' occasions stood by with a pistol it one hand and a blackjack in trie other while his sergeants "beat up' a man in his custody, according tt testimony given today at his court martial on Governors island. This testimony was given bj Clarence H. Lacey of Indianapolis one of the principal witnesses for tin prosecution, from whom the defence however, forced an admission tha he once had been convicted in Ohit of "a crime" and that he had facet various charges white in the army. Lacey, an e x-soldicr, admitted lu had escaped from Captain Deitzer former commander of the 308th mili tary police company, after he had been arrested by him on a street in Le Mans for being absent withoul leave. The defense brought out that he also had left his organization ir this country before it had sailed fot France and that in 1914 he had beer accused of deserting from the Sixth cavalry. Force Deitzer to Flee. Lacey testified that he had first met Captain Deitrer when he had come out of a cafe with Private Fred M. Yates, now a military prisoner, who, it is expected, will be called tomorrow by the prosecution. H said Deitzer had challenged them, that they lacked passes, but' that Yates pretended he was taking him to the provost marshal's office after having found him in the railroad yards, where p-overnment property was jying in freight cars. Lacey said Deitzer ordered them to come along with him, but that after they had gone a short distance Yates dropped. his hand to his revolver and "told the captain to beat it." Deitzer did, according to Lacey, and he and Yates fled, but were later re arrested. Lacey testified that. oh being be fore Deitzer again he had received, rough treatment from him and his two sergeants, U. S. Madden and Frank L. Hoyt. He asserted that once Deitzer had ordered his ser geants to take him out, give him a chance to run and if he didn't, make him, then shoot and "waste no bul lets." Beaten Dozen Times. He said he had been beaten a dozen times before Deitzer, who, he said, stood by with a nistol in one hand and a black-jack in the other. In addition, Lacey said Deitzer had niauc mm sit uu a uciiiu iui nv days without sleep. If he dozed off, he was grabbed by the hair and pulled to his feet. He added that he had been made to 6ign false state rrlents after he had "been led to be lieve he -would be punished by death if he disobeyed. . In cross-examining Lacey, Lieut. Thomas L. ' Hefferman, defense counsel, who at the opening7 of the trial declared the defendant had in curred the wrath of many "hard characters" while abroad, asked the witness if he did not know of "talk of 'getting' Capt). Deitzer." He fol lowed this with another question as to whether it was not true he had agreed "with others to get together on one story." To both questions Lacey replied in the negative.
