tained By Judge.

"T WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 4.
YY Government objections to stock-
yards divorcement plans sub-
mitted by the big packers under the
recent agreed decree were sustained
today by justice Stafford tn the dis-
trict supreme court. Any acceptable
plan moat provide for early and com-
plete divestment of all obnoxious
holdings the court held.
Justice Stafford also sustained the
government's contention that the de-
cree of divorcement may be made ef-
fective by receivership and sale. Un-
less the defendants are able to pre-
sent a suitable plan for time exten-
sions the court served notice that
such action would be tafcen.

If any delay Is to be allowed In the
actual divestment under any new plan
the court said it mnst provide for
complete control by the court in the
meantime so that the court might
terminate it at any time if It shoull
determine the packers were not pro-
ceeding with promptness and vigor.
An extension of six months was
granted in the case of Crescent City
stockyards owing to he peculiar cir-
cumstances existing there.
The other defendants were allowed
extension to be agreed on. Should
they fall to propose a plan conform-
ing to the requirements stated by the
court justice Stafford said he would
feel obliged to appoint officers to
take title to all stock in question and
to hold It subject to covrt order un-
til suitable arrangements were made
to dispose of It ia accordance with
the terms and purpose of the decree.

franlzation of a holding company
which would take over the stock yard
properties and lease them to an
operating company for a period of
ears. F. H. Prince and company
Boston bankers was to organise the
holding company.
The government objected to this
plan arguing that relations between
that company and the packers were
such there would not be a divestment
of the property within the rues n tug of
the court's order.
The government made a counter
proposal that the properties be taken
over hy the court trustees appointed
and sale ordered.
Justice Stafford also informed the
defendants that the court could not
' see its way" in considering plans to
he submitted to approve any plan
for consolidation of the yards whether

After Baumert was elected he re-
signed as state secretary a position
he has held for several years at a sal
ary understood to be $4o a montn.
Prior to that he was secretary of the
state board of public institutions at
H8e a year under tn appointment
from Gov Campbell. His new lob
pays nothing.
Judge Albert M. Sames of Douglas
state chairman who presided at the
meeting tendered his resignation as
he is to be appointed to the superior
court bench shortly. This left the
state caairmansnip ana secretary-
ship both vacant. Frank Barry an
attorney of Nogalee was nominated
and could have been elected chair-
man but declined it. Ken Clark- was
elected.
Open Hostilities f
It is believed the action of Gov.
Campbell in refusing to support sen-
ator Cameron for national committee-
man may result in open hostility be-
tween the state's governor and its
United States senator. Cameron is
said to be a man of trong likes an 1
dislikes and his friends assert that
he was anxious to be made national
committeeman so that he would have
a free hand in the distribution of fed-
eral patronage. The wa it looks to-
day Gov. Campbell may be hoping by
the use of Baumert to "have things'
with the senator.

The favorable contrast is vec mere
strikingly emphasized. Mr. Carpenr
pointed out. by the fact that every
month of the fiscal year thus far
with the exception of August has
surpassed the banner month of Aug-
ust. 1920 whese total exports of
$1059000 msde it the only morth to
go above the million dollar mark.
The large export figures for No-
vember was due to the withdrawal of
about $500000 worth of Mexican
sugar which had been placed in
bended warehouses. Commodities
from one country bound for anc'ner
may be thus bonded and go throug-i
the United States duty free. Szcn.
movements figure in the totals.

frequently benefit and it is net un-
