Since then attorneys and prin cipals have been trying to bring about a settlement. j Stockholders Object' This would have succeeded how, except for the fact that the-threeN stockholders wont agree to paying Mr. Howe $231',5t0 for four,months' work. The stockholders who intervened in the big suit are Jacob F. Paper nick. Frank Chittenden and Andrew C. Kastner. Their suit asked the court to stop .Messrs.

"There is no trouble except this temporary vari ance of opinion, and I believe, that will be 'straightened out to the sat isfaction of the officers and every body concerned." ' Lloyd M. Skinner declined to make any comment. " The killing department of the splendid Skinner company packing bouse has been idle for several days. Other departments, however, are operating full blast. - Caesarian Operation Performed On a Hog Longmont, Colo., May 1.

' failure to -Locate Bluebeard Victim , May Delay His Trial Los Angeles, Cat, May 1. -The failure of a searching parry tofind the body of Nina ee Deloney tyay, according to the district attorney, delay further" proceedings against Walter Andrew Watson, alleged bigamist and murderer. Watson, in a statement made Thursday night, was alleged to have told of a score of marriages and of the subsequent murders of four of the women he had wed Mrs. Deloney was one of the mur dered ones, he said, and gave explicit directions for finding her in - San Diego county. ' District Attorney Thomas. Lee Woolwine, with a party of investw gators, went to the spot he had in dicated, but a search of several hours failed to discJose the loca tion of the woman's body. In order to bring a successful charge of mur der against the man, Woolwine said, it is necessary to find the body, fo complete the needed proof. Mrs. Deloney was the only one of the women alleged- to have been killed in Los Angeles county, hence the murder proceedings are at a stand still until this point is cleared. Pho tographs of the probable location where the body was concealed will be shown to Watson today, and he will be asked to indicate the spot for a further search." - ADVERTISEMENT Corn Pain Stopped Quick "Gets-It" Loosens Them So They Lift Of f in a Jiffy The corn pains ceaie as aeon as a few drops of "Geta-It" reach the corn.

Reasons advanced by large whole sale houses are: First, mechanical transport and tractors are being more widely used in all food produc ing countries, thus adding vast acre age to food production that formerly grew food tor horses; second, high European prices have stimulated production abroad and heavily in creased , harvests will son be reaped r third, there are large stocks of food in British warehouses and docks that will soon have to be put on the market to preventt loss from spoiling: fourth, the United States has shut down on food and other credits for most of ifurope, while England's credit is still good hence America's exportable surplus will have to come to England, which can re-export. Britain's food crop is expected to be larger, this year, owing o the plentifulndss of labor. Hubby Hitched to Auto Tire Rack to Get Evidence Sacramento, Cal., May 1.
