FIVE BIG PACKERS ABSOLUTELY
CONTROL LIVE STOCK MARKET
IS THE CHARGE OF COMMISSION
(By United Press)
Washington. The Federal trade
(tiiiini--UMii liave charged in t heir re
jn.it t" PreiJont ' Wilson hat five bl
i.-!-e;s absolutely control the liv
-fik market
The domination of the packers over
the meat industry is declared so com
plete that the live stock growers get
fi.r their cattle, hogs and sheep only
what the big five choose to pay.
Anin'tir. Swift. Wilson, Morris and
Cu'lahy have eliminated many of their
competitors and prevented new ones
from coininsr in as a means of control,
the report charges. I
Totia v's report is the third attack
on t lie packers to he given out by the I
commission since it investigated the
meat industry. The packers also ex
ercise hidden control in the smaller
companies by means of bearer war- ;
rants, it is asserted. !
l!:ieflv the renort said that the bear-
er warrant is a receipt for stock cer
tificates. The certificate itself runs to the
treasurer of the corporation. He is--lics
a receipt or warrant for it. The
warrant then runs to the bearer of
!n Mends and can be collected on stock
actually voted, without even the of
ficers of the corporation knowing who
the stockholder is. -

You can count back as far asrou

the history of fist cuffs any rnauler
who ever attained any greatness who
got his schooling within the walls of
a university. Now, Drake students are
out to batter that record into small
pieces through the presentation to the
world of Carl Broadley.
Broadley is a delicate youh of six

Coach Mark' Banks, .fid-time- foot

declares that in "spite of his size Banks
is faster than any heavyweight the
world ever has seen, and in this class
he places the new champion, even in
spite of the things that Jack has been
doing to championship aspirants for

Tar river reached its crest yesterday
afternoon a 4 :35 o'clock and up to
9 :.3o this morning, had fallen two and
one half inches. From now on the
river is expected to gradually recede
until it reaches normal.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
river is beginning to fall the lands are
sill overflowed for miles. No passage
will be afforded from the north side of
the river to Greenville for several days
even if the water does fall enough for
the land to reappar for repairs to both
the dam and bridge as well as to the
road must be had before this can be
dbne.
Reports are still coming In of the
great damage done to both the crops
and property throughout the countnv
an exact estimate of which cannot be
foretold. Some claim It will reach
millions, others more conservative,
think the damage will not go so high.
Suffice it to say, however, the flood
has wrought havoc everywhere.
All day yesterday the motor boats
here did a thriving business taking
passengers across Tar river to see the
height of the river and the damage
sustained therel it.
No trains are yet running over the
Atlantic Coast Line via Greenville to
Weldon and Kinston but trains on the
Norfolk Southern are arriving - and
leaving on schedule time.
A rapid fall In the river is looked
for from now on.
