The cleanup the day before was better than in weeks, the M 2 leftovers being mostly pigs, and the demand continued active. The market was slow in opening, but when it was fixed Monday's price of $14.60 generally ruled for lights, though h few early sales were made at. 5c more, while one load of extra fancy Hempshires, weighing between 180 and 206 pounds, brought $14.75. Pigs were more in favor than in the last few days. some going for as high as 13c a pound, but most of the sales were around 12c. Heavies and roughs showed comparatively little change, there being few weights over 300 pounds among the arrivals. Calves. Receipts, 600; strong to 15050 c higher. This market was again active, with some choices running as high as $lB, but the average was 50c below that mark. Practically all classes benefited by the strength, with the demand equal to ths supply. Innks continued to be the most unpopular buy. though the previous range oj quotations was welt maintained. Cattle. Receipts, 800; heifers and cows strong; steers steady to weak. Heifers and cows were in request from the start, the average selling being done at 25c higher than last Friday and 50c advance over a week ago All butcher stock was in good denian*. but the tendency on steers was toward lower prices.

Clifton was posseaed of considerable coin of the realm and collateral therefor, which was in the hands of United States Marshal Mark Stolen. After Clifton, fumlllarly addressed as •‘Cliff'' by the inimitable Judge, admitted that he had stolen ten soldiers’ compensation checks from the Red Cross office in Tulsa, Okla., more than a year ago and passed three of them in lndlauapoiis later, the court called F. L. Bryant, jeweler in the Denison hotel building and M. M. Sspplnger, tailor at 429 Massachusetts avenue. The two business men were O'Neal's victims. TAILOR TOO GREEDY, DECLARES JUDGE, The marshal rolled all of Cliff's money, Liberty bonds and other valuables upon the Judge's bench and the court conducted an Inquiry to determine Just how much the prisoner owed. Sappiuger, the tailor asserted, that Cliff owed him S7O on two checks and also ought to he made to pay S3O which he lost on a ault which Cliff ordered, but did not pay for. Cliff demurred and the court decided that the tailor was “too greedy" and told the marshal to pay him only the amount lost 011 the checks. The jeweler was given back a diamond ring Cliff had purchased with the checks and instructed to return to Cliff half of a S2O cash payment which Cliff bad made. EIGHTEEN MONTHS FOR “CLIFF.” Then the court sentenced Cliff to serve eighteen months at Atlanta. He accepted without a murmur. John J. Clark, 28, Indianapolis, who admitted he forged another soldiers' pay chock and cashed it, was sentenced to Atlanta for two years. Mamie (', Beasley, 1115 DeLoss street, who wrote an ebcene letter to her sister-in-law In Hammond, after the laster had “deluged her with such objectionable letters that she could not refrain from retaliating," was fined $25 and costs.

Billiter, editor of the Indiana Farmers' Guide, published at Huntington, Ind,. who editorially and in a lengthy statement assailed the officers of th" Indiana Federation cf Farmers Associations for mismanagement, has been condemned by the farmers' organizations.

A committee of ten men, representing the ten Indiana districts, was selected to go over the evidence submitted at the investigation, and to make a report as soon as they reached a definite conclusion. During the meeting many county presidents and secretaries expressed vitriolic opinions of the attacks of Mr. Biliiter. and other representatives, who sought to pour oil on the troubled waters and patch up the fight in the state, were I "called down.” Officers of the organization and directors were permitted in short speeches to defend their positions and were beart- ! ily cheered. The meeting continued this morning with John G. Brown of Monon presiding, j The federation took up the following ! subjects for consideration: Uniform ! membership fees: uniform membership eompaigns; uniform accounting sys- ! terns; county and state payment of naj tlonal dues; live stock reports; farmers' : representative at stock yards; co-opera- : five live stock shippers' associations: 00- ; operative elevators; pooling wool; grad--1 ing and markeilng grain, and road-buiid- | lug program.

Odor (ja/evd&ys The five South Atlantic ports—Brunswick, Ga. f Charleston. S. C.; Jacksonville. Fla.; Savannah, Ga. t and Wilmington, N. C. —are at all times open gateways to foreign trade. These ports are practically free from congestion, having a minimum of labor troubles and favorable weather conditions the year round. There are frequent direct sailings from them to all important foreign countries. Natural and Near Outlets to South America & West Indies South Atlantic ports are especially fortunate in the matter of ships to South America and the West Indies, to which they are the natural and near outlets. There is excellent railroad service to these ports from all parts of the central west, the connecting lines affording prompt movement of shipments at rates comparing favorably with those to northern ports. MU - West —South - Atlantic Day Indianapolis, Wednesday May 26 •A special train will bring representative business men from each of the five South Atlantic port cities to Indianapolis Wednesday, May 26th. The local headquarters of this Mid-West—South-Atlantic Get-Together Trade trip will be at the foreign trade department of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, Wm. H.

Liberty second 4s sold at New York at noon for $82.40, a drop of $1.50 in twentyfour hours. The break in Liberty first 44s 'was $1.28, from $85.68 to $84.40.
