BEARER WARRANT FEATURE OF I). S. INVESTIGATION
Myst erious Document Gave Representatives of Packers Power, Congressional Probe Shows. WASHINGTON, D. C July 29. Special Discovery of a device known as the "bearer warrant." which concealed real ownership of certain Chicago stockyards interest, a portion of which was traced to J. Ogden Armour, president of Armour & Co.. is disclosed In part three of the federal trade commission's report to the meat packers made public today. The report, entitled "Methods of the Five Packers in Controlling the Meat Packing Industry." discusses the big packers' control of the stockyards and related facilities, their influence over live stock prices, and dominion over the manufacture and distribution of meat products through branch houses and cold storage systemsCould Be Used to Evade Taxes The "bearer warrant", which the commission characterizes as a "remarkable financial device," is described as a receipt for a stock certificate and could be used "not only to completely hide true ownership, but 1b equally effective in making possible the evasion of income, corporation, and surtaxes if it came into more general use." "The certificate Itself." sayB the report, "runs to the treasure of the corporation and he issues a receipt or warrant for it. The warrant runs to 'bearer and the dividends can be collected and the stock actually voted without the officers of the corporation knowing who the stockholder Is. "The device was discovered by the commission in its search for the true ownership of certain Chicago stockyards interests and it prevented the commission from fully determining the Identity of the real stockholders. Trace Stock to Armour "The Chicago yards, yard railways, . and adjacent real estate department are operated by companies whose etock is owned by the Chicago Junction Railways and Union Stockyards Company of New Jersey, which in turn is controlled by the Chicago Stockyards Company of Maine. 'Bearer warrants' for 19.4 percent- of the Maine company stock have been identified as belonging to J. Ogden Armour, president of Armour & Co. "In the $8,000,000 deal superimposJug the Maine corporation over control j of the Chicago yards and in which in ; 1911 $7,000,000 of stock was exchanged ' for a typewritten document known as j 'the nlan" and the oriEinal capitallza-! tlon of 1,000.000 Increased to $8,000,000 1 without additional cash investment J. Ogden Armour, the commission found, paid In $194,000 in cash, receiving $1,552,0000 of stock in the Maine company. On this stock be had drawn $356,960 in dividends up to 1917 $162960 more than bis investment. and he will continue to draw his 19.4 percent, of all the earnings the Maine company Is able to realize on Its control of the New Jersey corporatioa. Rocke feller Men Hand Disease Many Wallops NEW YORK, July 2S.-i-Fighting tuberculosis in France, checking yellow fever in Guatemala and Ecuador, and malaria in Arkansas and Mississippi, and devising means for hookworm control in twenty-one foreign states, were some of the activities ,ln which the Rockefeller Foundation engaged in 1918. of which details are given in the annual review, which has Just been issued. "The work of the foundation for the year occupied its own departments and seventeen Independent agencies. It involved the outlay of more than $15,000,000. of which $11,000,000 was spent in war work, $1,255,000 for public health, and $2,420,000 for medical research and education. War work expenditures from 1914, with appropriations for 1919. show a grand total outlay of $22,444,815." France had been better equipped for years than any other country for fighting tuberculosis, and the Americans entered the field because the great number of cases induced by the hardship of the war had overtaxed the capacity of the French institutions and had thrown heavier burdens on the French specialists than could be carried. Its work in the southern states proved to the foundation workers that It is cheaper to get rid of malaria than to have it. Anti-mosquito measures vfere rigorously carried out, with the result that la one Arkansas town the number of malarial cases was reduced by 97.4 percent. MINERS RETURN TO WORK LONDON, July 29.

Miss Thurman's ambition for years has been to try real acting, and here she is given an opportunity that she more than grasp3. In the greater part of the picture Miss Thurman has a character role, and her ability to look unattractive will amaze those who remember her as possessing an unusual i beauty. She was forced to make up j to weigh two hundred pounds, and she succeeded so admirably, it is said, that no one would recognize her as the slim maiden who has flashed through so many of the Sennett creations. In the leading feminine role of "Poor Boob." which was written by Margaret Mayo, is Wanda Hawle. Others in the cast are Theodore RcJane Wolff, Charles Ogle and Jay Dwlggins. Donald Crisp directed. MURRETTE To have the man you love propose to you, to accept him and to be the happiest girl on earth, then. Just a few minutes, later, to find him kissing a woman you hate is the situation which confronts Dorothy Glsh in one of the dramatic moments of "Boots," her newest Paramount picture, which will be shown at the Murrette theatre Friday and Saturday. Usually it is the other way. The man finds his sweetheart apparently false to him, and in his blind anger refuses to trust her. This time "Boots," in her own tearful resentment, refuses to trust the man who she believes, has been false to her. "So." says Dorothy Gish, "it makes little difference which side of the fence the clover is on, the other side looks different anyway." WASHINGTON One of the funniest things of all the humorous things with which Mary Pickford's new and best feature, paddy Long Legs" which will be seen at the Washington, is loaded in a series of scenes in which Mary, as Judy Abbott, takes too much hard cider. The funny little "drunk" is not indulged in by Judy Abbott, the orphan child Miss Pickford plays, with malice aforethought. It happens that she and a funny little orphan with a very freckled face have Just led a "prune strike" in which they have sought to obtain better food for the children of the asylum, who are fed on thin soup and prunes. The tyrannical head matron has won the battle, being a large woman able to dominate the cowering little waifs who are charges of the institution, and to punish Judy and the little boy who aided her in .encouraging the children to strike, the matron puts them out in the yard with nothing to eat. A thief who has been stealing from a passing wagon throws over the fence a jug of bard cider, and some sandwiches. Judy and the boy have been praying for food. They think this dropped from heaven, and proceed to eat and drink without inquiring into the nature of the donation. So it happens that in the most innocent way both children become "happy." Miss Pickford's portrayal of the surprised Judy, who punishes her enemies, gives jam to all the children and defies the ogre of a matron is wonderfully well done.

Football Equipment To Go Untaxed, U. S. Ruling (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. July 29. America's football fans will feel one less touch of the high cost of sports because of the recent ruling of the treasury department. The ruling is that wh the money from a football game or other form of collegiate sport is used exclusively in educational work, the ten per cent war tax is exempted. Educational work Is interpreted to mean the maintenance of an athletic establishment and department of physical education and included in education, musical programs given with a desire to educate, and maintenance of zoological parks for educational purposes. The Interpretation was broad enough to include all hieh schools and colleges where control of the moneys received for athletic purposes is vested in faculty members. Schools where indivdiuals or oi ganizations of students or alunmi have charge of the funds or receive a profit therefrom, must continue to exact the tax from their patrons.

LACK OF COUNTY AGENT HANDICAPS FARMERS -- MACEY
The absence of a county agent is severely handicapping the work of the Wayne county branch of the state farmers' federation, according to Harry Macey, president, Tuesday. The agent was the controlling center of the county, and farmers were In touch with each other through him, said Macey, especially in the work of the federation. The last word received from Purdue University, two weeks ago. be said, did not hold out. any hope that the county agent could be secured soon, as there Is a shortage in men for this position. The installment of a man, an agricultural supervisor, by the county superintendent, and the putting in of a farm agent by a Richmond financial institution, said Macey, did not take the place of a county agent, as he did not expect their work to cover the same ground, or extend far enough to be of much value to the farmers. No word has been received by him of the quota for the Btate drive for a fund of $200,000 recently planned by the state federation. The county fed eration now has a paid-up membership of between 200 and 300, he said, and is still growing. State Institution Heads Hold Capital Conference INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. July 29.
