Fluctuations of
Live Stock Market
Laid to Producers
Arc Largely Due to Inefficient
System in Marketing, Packer
Body Head Testifies
At Capital.
Washington, May 6. Fluctua
tions in the live stock market arc
largely due to the unscientific and
inefficient system employed liy pro
ducers in marketing their products
and the real trouble at the base of
the whole question is not so much
r packers' problem as it is a pro
ducers' problem, Thomas E. Wilson
pf Chicago, president of the Inst hut",
of American Meat 'Packers, told the
house committee on agriculture to
day, appearing in opposition to the
Norris-Mcl.auglilin bill to control
the packing industry.
Harmful Kesult.
Mr. Wilson .asserted that legisla
tion of the sort proposed would
serve to divert the largest single in
dustry in America from energetic
cllorts tQ adjust itself to a changed
and difficult situation. The result,
be said, would fte quite as harmful to
the live stock producers as to the.
packing industry itself as what is
injurious to one is bound to prove
harmful to the other.
The Norris-McLaughlin bill, Mr.
Wilson declared, does not deal with
or solve the economic problems of
the producing or consuming public.
v He added that by delegating radical
and revolutionary powers to a com
mission, it would set up a form of
governmental despotism over private
business which would be destructive
to private initiative and individual en
terprise. He asserted that the indus
try already was supervised and regu
lated by more laws than any other
industry in the country.'
Greater Profits.
Mr. Wilson declared other indus
tries were making much greater
profits than the meat men. During
19J0, he said, the five larger packers
averaged a profit of about 19 cents
on each animal slaughtered by them
and that about 87 per cent of every
dollar received by the packers went
to live stock producers. , The falling
off in export demand decreased meat
consumption per capita in the United
States, increase in unemployment and
decrease in purchasing power; the de
velopment of thrift iu consumers'
buying and the general decline in
commodity values and general defla
tion were ascribed by the witness as
reasons for the decline in prices of
live stock and meats.
Woman Is Arrested
On Charge of Working
Unique Bank Swindle
Chicago, May 6. Charged with
having been one of the chief prepe
trators of one of' the most darmg
bank swindles ever revealed in Chi
cago, Mrs. Dolly Haggerty,, pretty
and 26, was arrested yesterday aft
ernoon as she entered Judge Foell's
court room, where E. L. Beveridge
is on trial on an old worthless check
charge.
Raids of the two on the First Na
tional and other banks of the city,
through a telephone scheme in which
a mechanical device figured, netted
at least $40,000, it was declared by
A. M. Dcvoursney, superintendent of
the criminal department of the Burns
Detective agency.
According to detectives working
on the case, Mrs. Haggerty and her
male accomplice would learn when a
bank depositor was about to leave
town and then the- man would call
up the bank cashier.
He would give the name of the
depositor, it was alleged, and state
that he was hurrying to catch a
train. Also that he was sending his
stenographer over with a check and
that when she arrived the cashier
might call him back on the telephone
and he would describe the young
woman. . ;

Letters Written by Indian Guide
Tell of His Love for Mrs. Stillman
New York, May 6. The letter ad
mitted yesterday as evidence at he
hearing of James A. Stillman's suit
for divorce and other letters said to
have hern written by Fred Beau
vais, Indian guide, to Mrs. "Fifi"
Stillman have been made public as
follows :
"My Dearest Honey:
"I just got back here on the farm
Sunday afternoon. I spent Friday in
.Montreal. Saw P. Deslisle and Frank
Catikan over Frankec. 1 did not go
myself to see his parents. I thought
it better not to, but told P. D. to
go and see w hat he 'could do and let
me know.
"I also went to Frazer and Vizcr
for your bacon and Oglive's rolled
oats and hope you got them by now.
How I wished 1 could cook you
some of that nice bacon. I think I
could manage to get you bacon over
once a week from them. I was down
to sec the head man in Montreal for
the American Express company and
they told me that there is no duty on
small amounts.
. "I fixed up the papers for shipping
he goods and I will be disappointed
if you have not received the stuff
yet. I hope you get the little parcels
with the beaded handbag and two
pair of baby's moccasins and a pin
for baby. I hope yours fit you all
right. I sent the pair of moccasins
yesterday from Lac Beance by reg
istered mail. I hope you will have
got them by the time you get this
letter and lot me know what you
think of them, dearest.
"I told you, dear, I think, that I
had written on the skins a few lines;
of course, the lining hides it now,
but if baby should wear the lining
through it would show. Please let
me know if I guessed the size right or
not. and I hope he will like them.
"I looked arpund in Montreal for a
robe you know, the kind you would
like for bab , and the only thing was
made out ot goat skin and was not
pure white, s-o it was not good
enough for baby, and I did not
take it.
"I was up to Lac Beance Monday
with the horses to net the lumber
rjul got back today at 3, and I leave
again in the morning. The lumber
has been up there since last Monday
and they did not start to haul and
the roads have been fine all week,
just like ice. as it has not snowed
since, or rather, while 1 was dowit
with you. (dear heart; so now I hope
the weather keeps up as nice as it
has been since I've been back.
"It's just been perfect. I've nev:r
seen so nice weather in my life for
winter up here. The sun gets very
strong about 11. I can't explain it
to you, dear how. nice it is to feel
the sun shining dbwn on one.
"I can tell you, dearest, I am gi
ing to hurry and get things goinir
right again so 1 may come to you
and baby soon, dourest.
"1 never knew or understood what
it felt like to be a father or moth.T
before, but now I know. I under
stood it all, and you bet I am com
ing soon again to take care of my
clear love and baby. Everything will
seem slow until 1 have you both
again, darling.
"I just love to have the baby in
my arms, just to feel and look after;
thev are the fruit of heaven and
earth, and, Oh. darling, how cold it
is now that I am atone.
"Please, for me, won't you try and
get a little more rest? You need it
so bad.
Looks Forward to Meeting.
"By the end of next week I will
have all the lumber down here and
the plumbers on their work and I
know that by then they will be able
to get along with the work fine, as
the rooms are all divided up now and
clothes closet started and they won't
be able to do anything wrong.
"They done very well while I was
away so I won't have to worry over
them not working; and, then, down
to take you in my arms, dearest, and
1 will look after you and then I will
be sure you will get a little rest,
dear.
"Good night, dear heart, and kiss
baby good night for me. The first
thing you will see me there some
morning after baby. Tell me how
long you are planning to stay in the
country,, so I will know where to
make straight for. Don't let any
one run off with the baby's weasel
moccasins, because I want to put
them away some day for him.
"Good night, dear. Oh, how I
love you, dearest 1 I love you both.
Good night. And I will soon be
down.
"FRED."

"My dearest honey:
"Thank you so much for your nice
long letter and telegram. You don't
know how much it cheered me. I
don't know what happened to me,
but I was sick up io yesterday not
very but fever anrl "heavy headed
ness. J seemed to have gotten
them in Montreal or somewhere.
"Yes, dear, I am very lonely for
you and miss yoi so much; it's just
like as if there was no more lights
in the world for me.
"In your letter you say 1 va
cruel to you sometimes. Yes, I
know 1 am bad and mean to you,
but it always makes me want to love
I you more afterwards.
i "Oh, but it seems ages and ngis
i ago since I've seen vou, and it will
seem just as long to me before 1 will
be able to give you a nice big hug.
If any one tries to make love to
you down there and 1 find out, I
will kill them sure, because you are
all. mine and, Guy's or rather, I am
all yours and Guy's to the end.
"With lots and lots of love to the
great beyond.
Raining Hard.
May 21.
"I just received 10 pigs four
months old, that I bought on my
way up, I paid $50 for the lot, which
was very cheap. We also have som?
some young chicks out. The car
penters started work yesterday and
today it's raining. Oh, yes, there is
two rooms. Bud's and Alexander's,
thatt we did not come to any con
clusions on the color; if we did,
it has left my poor old brain ab
solutely, and please pardon tne if I
ask you to renew my memory on it.
"Let me know if you find it very
lonely out in the country and how
you are fixed and if Mr. S. comes
out often. Have you spoken to him
about your dream that you had up
here and most of all about yourself
and dear puy?
"You may thin
may think 1 am fooling when
I say that some day I am going to
kidnap him and bring him up here;
first I'll get you up here and then
I'll bring Guy. Oh, then what a
nice little family it will be all sun
shine and love. Just what I've al
ways been dreaming of and hoping
for and what you have too and
hope we have it soon together,
honey, dear love.
"Let me know how soon before
you think we will see one another
again. I w'ill rush things through
now. The farm work is coming
along fine will finish by next week,
all our planting will wiile you
