War ON BIG 4.
Denver Butchers Attempt to
Boycott the Eastern Packers.

Denver, Colo, June 21.-The Denver
Retail Grocers' and Butchers associ-
alton has adopted resolutions which it
hopes will prevent further encrOach-
ment on the retail meat business of the
city dealers by the large eastern pack
ing houses. These houses. the local
men claim, are working the market so
that in a short time the jobbers will be
forced entirely out of business and the
field left entirely to the big packers who
will then be able to deal directly with
the retailers
The resolutions adopted pledge the
members of the association 20 refrain
from buying meat from all jobbers who
refuse to sign an agreement to sell only
to those whom the association should
designate
Those firms in Denver who have re-
fused to sign are Armour Packing COM
pany, Armour & Co. Swift & Co and
the Hammond Packing company
The retail dealers also claim the pack
ers are dealing directly with hotels,
restaurants and small butcher shops,
and those packing firms continuing this
practice, it is said. Will be boycotted by
the members of the association.

Seven Day Adventist Juror in
the Morrison Case
Causes POstpOnement of Fur
ther Trial Until Monday.
HAS CLOSED.
Evidence of Pastor StuII and
Lawyer Scott For State
Is Flatly Contradicted by Miss
Morrison and Brother.

Kansas City, Mo-, June GA special to
the Star from FL Dorado, Kan, says;
Jessie Morrison's defense in her second
trial for the murder of Mrs. Olin Castle
was closed this morning. Then, for a pc
cullar reason. the case was postponed un-
til Monday morning, when arguments will
begin. J. ". Sproul, one of the jurors,
is a Seventh Day Adventist, and after
the evidence was announced all in, he
asked Judge Aikman to excuse him from
service tomorrow, the day which Advent
lists observe as Sabbath. In Difference TO
this religious belief. the judge adjourned
court over two days. Arguments will con-
sumo nearly two days.
The court today finally admitted as evil
dence the clothing worn by Jessie Morri-
son on the day that she made the fatal
visit to the Castle home. This was ex-
cluded yesterday until Miss Morrison tes-
titled that she had not seen the clothing
since that day. This morning Mrs. Gus
Heymans, who removed the clothes from
Miss Morrison when the latter had re-
turned to her home after the fatal fight,
was the last witness presented for the
defense.
In rebuttal the state introduced two
witnesses in an effort to impeach the tes-
G. H Stull, who was pastor of the Bap-
fist church here at that time and W "; J.
Mr.. Stull said that he had a conyersa-
ton with Jessie Morrison on June 2s the
day following the tragedy, and that she
made statements to him as follows:
'fWhen~I went to the house of Mrs Cas-
tie she met me at the door. l was sitting,
but when she came toward me I stood uD,
facing her.
Mr. Scott testified that Jessie Morrison
had made the following statements to
him soon after the tragedy:
II had been uo to Mr.. Davis for a
collar pattern and went to Clara and
thought I would call on her, as had not
seen her in her new home
II knocked Clara met me at the door
and invited me IN
nearby. We talked a short time. hap
pened to have letter with me and
asked her if she wrote it. She took it,
looked at it and said no. I said she did,
and she said she did not. / said: GU
know you did. She struck at me. 1
pushed her away. She went to the man
tel and got a razor: came at me; we scuf-
fed; cut our hands, 1 got the razor and
cut her throat to defend myself.
These statements contradicted the state
mentS of Jessie Morrison.
Mr.. Scott was asked if he had not gone
to see Jessie Morrison with a bouquet of
flowers and card with pink ribbon. Such
a card was produced. but was not adj
mitted in evidence
Hayward Morrison, the prisoners
brother in surrebuttal, denied the state
ments made by Mr.. Scott, and Jessie Nor
rison denied the statements made by Rev.
StulI.

Leavenworth Democrats are trying to
stir uD a row in the Democratic state

man Mack Love was announced in Lseav-
enworth last night. The elections do not
take place till the state committee IS
reOrganized at the next state cOuven-
tiOn, but no time is ever too early TO
start row.
Murphy and Atwood's Leavenworth
paper, the Chronicle, tells how they are
going to get revenue for things that
made them mad and also purify" the
state committee. 1t brings uD the
charges rumored about last fall that
no accounting could be got Of the funds
spent, but that the row was hushed up
for fear of jeopardizing the state ticket.
and it viii be charged that j. Mack
Love, J. G. johnson and George Locke,
during the campaign entered into
scheme whereby each was to have been
landed into good office in the event of
Bryan's election or in the event the
fusion ticket was elected in Kansas.
In addition to this. so the story goes.
they had things fixed so that johnson
was to get a cabinet portfolio. Love
United States district attorneyship and
Locke the United States marshalship.
In the event that the national ticket
should be defeated and the state ticket
won, according to the rumor. johnson
was to have gone after the United
States senatorshiD and Love and Locke
after some good state appointments.

Mr.. Overmyer would not deny the
rumor that he had secured proxy to

Treasurer Frank Thomas said he had
no accounting to make to the state com

Commission.

Washington, June 21--The Industrial
Commission has issued the eighth vol
une of its reports of testimony. This
volume comprises 612 pages and deals
exclusively with the labor disputes in
Chicago in 1900. The commission
makes no recommendation, but prints
a summary Of the testimony, in the
course of which it says:
1t was claimed also by several of
the witnesses not only that policemen
themselves were prejudiced in favor Of
the strikers, but that the higher city
authorities leaned the same way. They
asserted that the police had their in
structions not to interfere except 10
case Of absolute necessity. and several
specific instance were cited to show
that this was the case. It was claimed
that this attitude of the authorities
which showed itself also in the actions
Of the police justices and other infer
Tor courts. was due to political fnfu-
ence, especially to the desire of the
party in power to cater to the large
vote Of the laboring classes at the
coming election These witnesses held
that strikes in Chicago have often been
especially numerous just before cleo
tons, and that both parties have been
disposed to make political capital out

say. Leland will probably have one
also asking for a reappointment.

Smith has backed into the race again
for pension agent 1t was said that
Burton aimed to remove Leland so as to
give the place to George Findlay, to
whom the senator promised the appoint
ment of revenue collector and has since
determined to make J. NJ Simpson col
Iector. Smith bobs up for nearly every
thing that there is a chance Of any one
else getting. He is about due to loom.
He spent q month in Washington last
winter when he went as messenger to
carry the electoral vote laying wires for
the appointment. Just prior to that his
name was used a while against Lit
