ANOTHER DECLINE SUFFERED BV HOGS Heavy Offerings Locally and in Chicago Responsible. Hog Prices Day by Day Feb. 150-300 lbs. 100-225 lbs. 150-180 lbs. 16. 7.40 7.40 7.40 18. 7.50 - 7.50 7.50 19. 7.65® 7.70 7.65® 7.70 7.65® 7.70 20l 7.65 7.55® 7.60 7.55® 7.60 21. 7.35 7.35 7.35 22. 7.20 7.20 7.20 An excess of hog supplies both locally and in Chicago accounted for another sharp drop in prices in trading at the local livestock market today. The decline was 15 cents, all weights and classes having sold at $7.20, compared with $7.35 on Thursday, while the top of $7.25 paid for some fancy lightweights was also 15 cents lower than the top of $7.40 paid for some belted Hampshires on previous trading. Both shippers and packers were active, but the supply of 13,000 head, including Thursday’s holdover of 335, proved too large for competition and trading was done at the lower level from the start. Pigs were not greatly Influenced by the general drop, having sold down from $6.75, though largely at $6.50 while sows were weak to a quarter lower at $6.25 down, though rarely higher than $6. The day’s receipts were somewhat larger than traders had predicted as many had believed that Thursday's break of 20 to 25 cents would check the country movement and this fact proved a depressing factor. Truck movement has been accelerated the past few days, following improvement in the condition of highways. Trading In the cattle market was rather slow, due to the absence of several large buyers, but prices were Jargely steady, due to the fact that the offerings were of a generally better class than recently. The week’s sustained advance has brought a better class of offerings and prices have ruled pretty well unchanged. Receipts, 800. Despite increased receipts of 700 head, prices for veals moved generally a half dollar higher to a top of $15.50 for choice calves and $14.50 to sls for the bulk. Less than fifty head of sheep arrived for market and trading was slow, but prices ruled unchanged at sls down for native-fed lambs and $7 down for sheep.

LAFOLLETTEODT AFTER DAUGHERTY (Continued Front Page 1) mind, the Attorney General said if he quit it would be admission of guilt. Daugherty sent his letter to Pepper at the Capitol Thursday afternoon. The text of the letter follows: "My dear Senator: “Please accept my thanks for your very kind note of yesterday. Your complimentary reference to my administration of the department of justice is at this time mostly highly appreciated. I note with amazement yous suggestion that my interests are not to he decided on the basis of justice or injustice even though my honor, reputation and all that I hold dear in this world are at stake.

Expressions Gratifying “Your expressions of personal regard are most gratifying and deeply appreciated and I am sure nothing will ever happen to change our friendly relations. “Coming now to the subject of your letter I am interested in your statement that I am on the wrong side of an issue in the mind of the public. .1 assume you have in mind the resolution of Senator Wheeler and his speech on the floor of the Senate. You have then concluded I am on the wrong side of an issue without hearing, without evidence and accepted as final the baseless, scandalous and defamatory charges of my political adversaries. You further imply the public has also concluded I am on the wrong side of an issue, without evidence, on ex-parte statements and baseless charges same adversaries. You must realize, as I do, ; that these charges against me, made j on the eve of a presidential election, j are made with other motives than that of injuring me. One Phase of Program My destruction is but the accomplishment of one phase of the program which would be immediately followed by other and more drastic demands by ine same adversaries. My elimination, voluntarily or otherwise, will be a confession of the truth of all these baseless charges of our adversaries and will j' i-itify them in claiming we have thereby admitted their truth and such admission will accomplish the ultimate end and purpose most gratifying to such adversaries. "I will never be a party to such a program. You say that my fate does not involve a question of ‘justice or injustice.’ My dear Senator, my personal interests sink into insignificance when compared with the magnitude of the Issues now involved. Is the preservation of the orderly processes of the law and the preservation of constitutional rights of no importance? Shall reputations be destroyed and public officials driven from office by clamor, insinuation and falsehood? The basest criminal standing before the bar of justice has a right to trial by hl3 peers. Am I to be denied a right granted to even the basest criminal? Will Stump Country "If I am on the wrong side of the Issue to which you refer and it has already been concluded against me by the Senate, to which forum I have no access, without evidence of the truth or falsity of the charges against me, and if the* public has likewise, as you claim without evidence, concluded that I am on the wrong side of such issue, then nothing remains for me to do except to plead my cause before the bar of pubic opinion, and in order to do so accept some of the numerous invitations to make addresses throughout the country and present before that great tribunal all of the facts bearing upon these matters. That tribunal, my dear Senator, by which we will all ultimately be tried is the ono before whose verdict we must all bow with respectful humility. “Very sincerely yo®rs. “H. M. DAUGHERTY.”

Pepper’s letter was not made public by Daugherty, but it was learned Pepper advised Daugherty to resign .in the same ground on which Pepper and Senator Lodge Wednesday urged President Coolidge to ask for his resignation.

BOY EARNS sls A DAY DENVER, Colo., Feb. 22.—Judge Julian 11. Moore is lamenting the fact that he was born before the days of vocational guidance. ‘ He had been engaged with a jury in hearing a dispute between John Drew a GiVek bootblack, and Peter Woolas, another bootblack, over S4OO which Drew claimed Woolas owed him for shining shoes During the course of the trial, the defendant testified that during the summer months he made as high as sls a day. When the jury had returned a verdict in favor of the defendant. Judge Moore descended thoughtfully from the bench. “Fifteen dollars a day shining shoes,” he soliloquized. "District judges get sll a day. Too had they didn't have vocational guidance when l was getting started.”

Wits, Not Gun, Used by Highwayman; Clever Mitzi Tumbles Down a Chimney

By WALTER D. HICKMAN M r— ODERN highwaymen use not a gun, but their wits to get the loot, of their “betters.” And what is loot? It may be money and it may be the heart of a pretty hut clever girl. It is loot, whatever it is, and a highwayman needs not a gun. Around this Idea Lajos Biro has written a saucy, brilliant little thing called at the present time “The Highwayman.” This Is not a costume play. Far from it tut a clever, light little mental gihball with a hearty kick In It. We often find that a European writes the so-called “smart” article. Gladys Unger adapted this from the Hungarian, I believe. Smartness In “The Highwayman” Is to he found not only in the dialogue, hut also the situations. It has a European taste and daeh. * There is no one better fitted to put over th efootlights a smart situation than Joseph Sohlldkraut, the sweater rough-neck with a soul in “Liliom.” Remember? He Is still the "roughneck,” but Instead of wearing a sweater, he dons evening clothes and “steals” money and hearts from the continental aristocracy which existed before the war. This play Is more of a satire than It Is a comedy. I might go afc far and brand It as a “trick satire." It is the duty of Schlldkraut and his cast to provoke in the audienece the suspi cion that yellow is not yellow at all but scarlet and that red Is black. If you go to the Murat this weekend to see "The Highwayman” go In the spirit of gay fun. When Elsie Bartlett looks so sad and lonely attired In a pink something (I think it was pink and of bedroom origin) in the second act. do not prepare to shed tears, because that will spoil the fun. Do not be deceived by the Idea that .this Is drama because the said Elsie Bartlett as Olga Galambos carries a revolver. This revolver never spenks death hut hands out merry laughs. Here Is a satire or a comedy (call It anything but drama) of matched wits. A temperamental no-account decides to get easy money without working for It from the so-cailed aristocracy. He decides that these nobles either stole their estates themselves or that their ancstors were highwaymen. So Eric Kardos becomes a highwayman without a gun. This chap will do anything for money.

So he contracts to compromise Olga, so she will be unable to marry Count Ferenz Cserhatl. He accepts real cold money for the job. Here is where the fun comes In. Everybody In the story is matching wits against each other. It is a mental checker game and it is glorious fun. At times, tho first act is too talky, but you rather forgive that when you realize that you are seeing some very fine “smart” acting. The aristocrats are such a hopeless bunch of prudes. Schildkrartt wears a mental mask during the first two acts. He confuses purposely good and bad manners, smart and dull remarks, smiles and evil grins and good and bad desires. Schildkraut is a master in this light little exercise of matching wits. At times he Is gloriously sweet and the next minute he confuses you by proving that the. character is really a bandit. That is the value of the play. I found the entire cant to be about as smart as the play. Corbett Morris, recalled as a member of worth of the Stuart-Walker company is in Schildkraut’s cast. The cast is as follows: Count Steffan Cserhatl Corbett Morris Butler Richard Earle Countess Marglt Cserhatl ... Hilda Graham Countess Charlotte Cserhatl Jessie Royoe Landis Count Michael Cserhatl Philip Lord Erie Kardos Joseph Schildkraut Count Ferenz Cserhatl Grant Stewart Count Laslo Cserhatl John Westley Count V’ictor Cserhatl . .Theo. Westman. Jr. Olga Galambos Elisa Bartlett Peter Galambos N. R. Creagan The show has been tastefully and beautifully mounted. With Schildkraut’s delicioius satirical work always present, you will have a corking good time if you visit the

Clara Crys Real Tears at Circle Next Week

CLARA BOW Any one who saw Clara Bow’s performance as the flapper in “Black Oxen" can well appreciate the story that is told of her in connection with her performance as the stowaway girl in “Down to the Sea in Ships,” at the Circle next week. An amateur before the camera at that time, she brought the same eager intensity to her work that has characterized everything she has ever undertaken. “Eager Intensity” might well be Clara’s middle name. On the occasion of her first dramatic scene she was told that she would be required to shed real tears. She accepted her Instructions without comment and almost immediately afterward disappeared. A little later her director found her sitting in a disconsolate heap weeping bitterly. He was chagrined. “Why, what in the world is the matter?” he inquired solicitously. “N-n-n-nothing,” sobbed Clara—“only you said you wanted me to cry real tears, and I’m j-j-just practicing!”

by Sidney Greenstreet. Then she turns around and meets Prince Charming, a composer disinherited by his family because he prefers the lyrical muse to the stockyards. And shd receives from the antique dealer a ring, bearing the seal of Soloman —a magic ring, capable, like Aliadin’s lamp, of producing when rubbed a willing and obedient giant. Mitzi calls him Charlie. Mitzi asks Charlie to fix things so she can go to a certain party attended by Prince Charming and she asks that her entrance might be effective. It is. Minnie ascapes, and in chasing her over the housetops Mitzle falls down a chimney into the party. She explains she bounced when she lit. Os course. It is only another step, with the aid of Charlie, to perfect happiness. Many good things have been said about Mitzi, but not too many. This vest pocket edition comedienne is unique. She has pep, humor, appeal and she works hard When Mitzi is one the stage nobody else counts. Nevertheless, she has gathered around her an exceptionally capable cast, and a small but mighty goodlooking chorus with lots of pep. The show has an unusual dance team in Carlos and Inez.

You'l llove Mitzi. (By Felix F. Branre.) •!• -I- -JI BACH’S ENTERTAINERS TOP WEEK-END BILL AT PALACE Lloyd Ibaoh and his entertainers have returned to the Palace with a new prograsn. When last seen at the Palace lvack was associated with Ben Meroff. Meroff now has his own orchestra. and Ibach heads his entertainers. Ibach goes in for quiet musical effects. He has seme splendid saxophone players and the violin trio number is beautiful. He has anew dancer this season in the person of Lee Hall. Two men do a clever skating number. It seems to me, and I do not want to be too critical, that Ibach should have a crashing novelty number to close his program. Novelty is the keynote of success for orchestras today. Allen Quick is a splendid saxzophone player. Nelson Waring shows how “The Love Nest” would sound if Sousa had written it as a march. He also plays it as a apper would. Waring is a clever pianist. Gordon’s dogs open the bill with a. regulation animal act. Elroy Sisters p.re assisted by a woman pianist and a male dancer. The sisters sing and dance, but rather overdo one song number. Act is nicely mounted. Nut comedy is furnished by Morley and Anger. The movie feature is “Don’t Call It Love,” a William De Mille production. At the Palace today, Saturday and Sunday.

EDUCATION COSTS FIVE TIES MORE HOW THAN IN 1914 Report Made on Amount Spent in Indiana on Public Schools, Public education in Indiana cost the State $62,850,681.11 in 1923, according to the annual report of the department of public instruction, compiled by Leonard B. Job, assistant State superintendent of public instruction. Cost for 1914 was $12,895,625.06. High cost of living and building construction costs are responsible for the Increase. Os the amount expended in 1923, C 8.5 per cent was for new buildings and for payment of debts contracted for buildings in recent years. Because very little construction was carried on during the war period, it was necessary for school corporations to redouble their efforts to provide facilities for rapidly increasing school population. The cost per child enrolled was $31.62 in townships and $230.18 in cities. Indina cities spent $25.72 for new buildings and grounds for each child enrolled, while the towns spent $5.67 a child. Average salary paid elementary township teachers amounts to SBSO today, as compared with $414.83 in 1914. Elementary teachers in cities today receive an average annual Income of $1,410.26, as compared with $878.35 in 1914. The outstanding accomplishment in 1923 was passage of the teachers’ licensing law by the General Assembly. This law provided that the State board of education should license all teachers after Dec. 1, 1923. that therafter licenses would he issued and renewed only on basis of credentials and work completed in standard or approved teacher training institutions.

FOOD IS DECLARED PRESENT EVEN IN A BOMOF POP Carbonic Beverage Said to Equal Egg,or Drink of Milk Per Glass. WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.—-While the word food defines, in the popular sense, whatever one eats in contradistinction to what one drinks, and consequently a solid substance as opposed to fluid, the average person would be surprised to learn how much is drink of what he takes as food and, vice versa, how much food he obtains in what he esteems as beverage. There is more than a metaphor in the old saying. "It is food and drink to me,” says Director W. P. Hartman of the Michigan State Bureau of Foods and Standards. Addressing the recent convention of the Ohio Bottlers’ Association at Columbus, Mr. Hartman, after calling attention to the importance of bottled carbonated beverages to the food producing industries as a whole, as emphasized by the recent announcement by Federal statisticians that the-peo-ple of this country in 1523 paid $360,000,000 for soft drinks, said; “Notwithstanding the progress of your industry in the last decade, even today a lot of folk look upon carbonated beverages merely as ‘sweetened water.’ In other words, they are a bit skeptical. By way of comparison, let us see: “A potato Is 78 per cent water: celery, 95t per cent: onions, 87 per cent; asparagus, 94 per cent; apples, 84*4 per cent; whole milk, 87 per cent; eggs, 74 per cent; porterhouse steak, 60 per cent; fish, from TIT to 84 per cent, and even hash, the standby of the boarding-house, is 80.3 per cent water. “Mr. Arthur McWilliams, chief division of foods and dairies, Ohio State department of agriculture, has recently demonstrated that the average bottle of carbonated beverage will equal in food value a slice of bread and butter, one fresh egg or a glass of milk, and I suggest that you refer to any authority on food values and make you rown further comparisons. Some of you may be surprised, and most assuredly you will surprise the public when you begin to feature the actual food value, and frequently the mineral value, of your product.” Artist Paints With Teetli LUNENBURG, Nova Scotia. Canada, Feb. 22. —Earle Bailley, young Lunenburg artist, who, because of an attack of spinal meningitis, has been unable to use his hands, and who lias achieved much success in painting by holding the brush in his mouth, won another honor recently when a water color entitled “The Spirit of the Sea” was accepted by the Toronto art galleries.

CITY DETECTIVES ; FOLLOW MURDER' CONNECTION CLEW Officers Still Working on Bandit Possibilities in Reinert Death, Belief that Herbert Wallace, 24, Franklin, and Rex Stacy, 23, of Inoianapolis, who were shot recently in a battle with Louisville police, mayhave been connected with the murder of John Reinert. Jan. 28, at a coal yard at 2123 Northwestern Ave., was expressed again today by Detectives McMurtry and McGlenn. The detectives have just returned from Louisville, where they questioned Wallace. Stacy died following the shooting. Both detectives said they planned to go to Louisville later to continue questioning Wallace. The detectives say the nien may also have been implicated in the shooting of a detective in a Terre Haute filling station hold-up two days before the Reinert murder. McMurtie said Wallace told him he was sorry he did not have another clip in his revolver so he • could have shot four more Louisville policemen. Four policemen were shot and slightly hurt in the battle. Wallace is recovering from a bullet wound in the hip. , DOG’S TAIL SAVES SNOW-BOUND PAIR They Make Soup of Member and Fido Gets Bone, THERMOPOLIS, Wyo.. Feb. 22. Their pet dog's tail was all that stood between Mr. and Mrs. 4J. A. Simmons, Fido. and starvation, when a big snowfall marooned them four months and a half without supplies on a hunting trip. The couple arrived home in Casper last Tuesday, after having been on the trip since Sept. 11. Simmons had whiskers that would have done credit to Santa Claus. The couple went into the Chimney Creek district, about thirty miles from Meetee-tse, last September. A big snowstorm came up and the Simmonses foudn found it impossible to get out with their car. Simmons had almost decided to kill his hunting dog rather than starve to death, according to the story he tells, but the dog looked so pitiful and was as hungry as himself. So he just cut the dog’s tail off, made soup of it and threw the bone to the dog, saving the lives of all. Next day they located a mill a few miles from rhe camp, which had a cache of provisions, and from that store Mr. and Mrs. Simmons kept themselves in pretty good shape while the supplies lasted. They followed the first party through Wind River canyon and made their way to Casper, glad to get home, after being snow-ed up in the mountains for four and a half months.

FELLED TREE IS BIGJWENAGERIE Coons, Squirrels, Rabbits and Bees Seen and Bagged, RICH HILL, Mo., Feb. 22.—An unusual hunting story comes from Reed's Creek, ten miles southwest of this city. M. M. Wilsey, Jess Wilsey, John Wad© and S. L. Swan organized a hunting party on Reed’s Creek. They tracked a raccoon to a large cottonwood tree and, after some argument as to the best way to get his coat of fur, decided to cut the tree down. The tree was felled and as it came down a limb struck the raccoon and killed It and injured its mate so that it was capturd. The tree was a regular squirrels’ nest, as four were killed outright and two injured so that they were caught. Three rabbits were killed in their hiding place at the base of the tree. In a limb of the tree was a swarm of bees in possession ■'of at least two tubs full of honey. The bees were so savage, however, that their honey was not molested. According to Mr. Wilsey. the tree will make at least flee cords of wood and he believes it would have produced at least a couple of bales of cotton had it been free from boll weevil.
