Commission Men
Plan to Restrict
Stock Shipments'
" " i
Wholesale Meat Trade Over-!
stocked Due to Large Move-
mcnt of Cattle May j
liowcr Retail Prices.
Chicago, Aug. 20. A movement
by commission men and packers to
restrict incoming shipments of live
stock, and which eventual! r may
have the effect of forcing retail
prices of meat down, came t'tlay in
an appeal sent broadcast by Kverett
C. Brown, president of the-National
Live Stock exchange.
"The dressed beef trade is in a
t'cnioralized condition," it was ex
plained. "Although wholesale prices
of beef have dropped until forcquar
ters are selling in some plates at 4
cents a pound, retail prices hive not
come down.
"With, retail prices up the public
is not buying. With that condition
existing the retailer, of course, is
not selling and is consequently not
buying from the wholesaler, who in
turn has restricted his orders from
the packers. Meanwhile at the west
ern markets the ufual rail ship
ments of cattle for this time of year
are being received and the packers
are converting the shipments into
dressed meats.
"The result has been that i; stem
beef markets especially have be
come congested aud a disaster is
threatened in Chicago aliu other
eastern markets unless load'ng of
live cattle in the country is ar
rested." The appeal to shippers to put as
few cattle on the rails as possible
was made only after a general sur
vey of the beef situation.
The solution of the situation, ac
cording to commission men and
packers, lies in the hands of 'he re
tailer. The wholesafe price of tcef
has been steadily declining while the
retail price has been held virtually
on the same level. If the retail
prices were lowered in comparison
with the 'decline in wholesale prices,
it is argued that the public would be
stimulated into buying the cheaper
ruts of meat, thus opening the mar
ket of distribution all the wav along
the line.

Gooding to have committed the of
fenses of which she had been con
victed and sentenced. She was or
dered released by the court of crim
ina! appeal in London.

to his wife, said to be living in Col
orado Springs, asking that she send
him funds to the Y. M. C. A. here.
Hurst, when recognized by a pa
trolman who attempted to arrest him,
started to run and sought refuge in
the office of J. J. Mclnery, city
finance commissioner. He stated
that he wanted to use the telephone,
but when the officer appeared he
dashed out of the office. He again
sought refuge in a barber shop, but
the officers continued on his trail.
Turn in Riot Call.
Commissioner Mclnery turned in a
riot call and automobile loads of po
lice, heavily armed, joined the chase.
The shooting commenced in front of
the barber shop and continued down
the principal streets to the railroad
track, where he was captured in a
warehouse after attempting to hide
in the cars of a circus train.
He had $100 in currency in h
pocket when arrested and a large
amount of silver.
The two wounded men were both
spectators. Beuttgenback was seated
in an automobile when a bullet
crashed through the windshield and
struck him.

U. S. Agents Hunt
Counterfeiters'
Shop in Bluffs
$1 Bills Being Raised to $10
By Clever Process An
other Found in City
Treasurer's Office.
Federal authorities redoubled their
efforts Saturday to locate what is
believed to be a regular workshop
somewhere in Council Bluffs for the
raising of $1 bills to $10 bills, with
the discovery of another raised bill,
issued to a city fireman t"rom the city
treasurer's office.
It was a Kansas City reserve note,
originally for $1. The figures in the
corners had been altered to read
"$10," and even the word "one" in
the center had been changed to "ten."
Federal agents say it is the neatest
piece of work thus far discovered
from the mysterious workshop.
Its only discrepancy was that it
bore the picture of George Washing
ton instead of the likeness of Grover
Cleveland, which should adorn au
thentic $10 reserve notes.
The deception was discovered
when the fireman presented the bill
at a Council Bluffs store. It was
turned over to federal authorities for
investigation.
