GIVE WEEK TO PREPARATION.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 3.-The arbitra.
ton commission decided Saturday
while on their tour of the Wyoming
valley, to adjourn tomorrow until Fri.
day, November IA, when the taking
OF testimony will begin in this city.
The first four days of next week will
be taken up in inspecting the mines
and mining towns from HaZelton south
to the end of the hard soal' fields. All
of this territory is In districts No. Z
and no. 8. The object in taking re-
cess of one week is for the purpose
Of giving both sides sufficient time to
prepare their cases, and also to give
the members OF the commission an op.
portunity to examine the issues. The
commissioners feel that the questions
involved are so important that any
haste may work an injury to either
side of the controversy. When the
hearings are begun week after next,
it is the intention to have the miners,
who are considered the plaintiffs. sub
NIT their case first. How long II will
take to hear all the testimony cannot
be estimated by the commissioners.
The sixty-seven individual operators
will also be given an opportunity to
be heard as well as all the larger coal
companies.
The miners will take up consider.
able time in presenting their side of
the case.

WAS COMMITTEE PACKED?
Miss Deishton Asserts Speaker Eaton
Was Unfair.

Des Moines, Oct. 30.-Miss Daisy
Deighton of Shenandoah, who had
charge of the quail suffrage lobby last
winter, in the state convention of equal
suffragists here yesterday, ascribed
the defeat of the resolution for the sub
mission of the question TO Speaker
Eaton. She charged that he packed
the house committee against suffrage.
She declared that Representative
Sweet of Bremen couny had told her,
during the session, that he had come
to Des Moines for the express and
avowed intention of making record
against woman suffrage in order to
square" himself with his constituents,
and that he proposed doing it. Yet he
was made chairman of the house COM
mittee on constitutional amendments,
in which Miss Deighton declared the
suffragists did not have fair hearing.
She referred to the fact that the propo-
sition easily passed the senate and
said that It would have gone through
the house, also, II the speaker had not
packed the committee against ii.
Miss Deighton, out Of her experience,
said that she thought the idea Of the
president, Mrs. Adelaide Ballard of
Hull, that a man be employed to take
charge of the work in future legisla.
lures, an excellent one. But she
doubted If a man could be found who
would be willing to do the work on a
salary, and did not believe one could
be found who would do it for the love
of the thing

students and instructors in the school
THE best samples of all the lead
ing varieties of corn from the greatest
breeders of this and other states will
be on exhibition, and will be used in
the corn judging classes.
This immense collection of choice
corn will afford an unusual opportun-
ity to compare the different varieties
and study their characteristics.
THE best known and most success
full live stock breeders and corn grow
ers of Iowa will attend this corn
school. You will have an opportunity
to meet these men and confer with

sire to do so may enter these classes
and make systematic study of corn
with the revised score card.

scented by prominent seed corn breed
ers of Iowa and by others.

ment of corn, friends of the agrcultur-
al college have offered liberal pre-
miums which will be awarded to those

FOR FINKELsTEIN MURDER.
Harris Levich and James Walker Are
Indicted.

Des Moines. Nov. 1.-The grand
jury yesterday afternoon returned
the indictments decided upon Wednes
day against Harris Levich and James
Walker. charging them with the muir
der of Isaac Finkelstein on the night
of August 5. There were indictments
for murder against each defendant
and a joint indictment against both,
charging them with conspiracy to
murder.
Walker was in jail when the indict-
ments were returned, and is said to
have received the news stolidly. Lev
ich was standing anxiously in the
court room, his behavior showing great
nervousness. He personally announc-
ed to the court as soon as the report
was read that he had his sureties with
him and was prepared to give bonds.
Judge Holmes went over the notes of
the testimony before the grand jury
and told Levich that he could not
grant him bail, and must order him
to the county jail. Levich looked bag
gard and worn, the picture of despair.
When tho officers approached to lead
him down stairs he protested vigor-
ously. Il am not guilty" he exclaim-
ed. you oughtnt to lock me up. My
wife can't run my store and my fur
uiture store will be ruined" Levich
was still piteously wailing when he
disappeared in the direction of the
TAIL.
The state will try to bring the cases
to trial at the present term OF court.
County Attorney McLennan will ask
Tor the appointment of counsel to as
sist him and his assistant, Robert
Brennan, in the prosecution.
The state claims from the evidence
submitted to the grand jury to have
shown that Levich and Walker con-
spired together to waylay Finkelstein
and beat him for his interference with
Levich's business affairs and to have
shown that Walker was to do the
work. That he went out with the in
tention of whipping Finkelstein and
instead killed him and that he was
paid for this service by Levich.
Des Moines, Nov. 3.-Harris Levich,
charged by the grand judy with the
murder of Isaac Finkelstein, was ad-
mitted to bail and released from Jail.
He left the court house in company
with his wife and father, and an
nounced that from now on he will de-
vote his time to the preparation OF his
defense

TAIL IS To CO
WITH THE HIDE
Stock Yards Combine viii
Follow Contamination of
Beef Combine.
DETAILS OF THE PLANS GIVEN
Packers Already Control All OF the Yards
Except Those of Chicago--Announce-
ment Waits Only for n Favorable Con-
dition of the Money Market.

Chicago, Oct. Decentralization Of
all the stock yards in the country un-
der one management is contemplated
by the leading interests in those prop
critics and the plan will be carried out
after the completion or the deal to
merge tie beef packing industries.
1t is announced by the leading inter
ests that the joining of the Armour,
Swift, Morris and other beef packing
concerns will be completed by the end
of the year or early in 1908. The
underwriting agreements are said to
have been signed already with the idea
of announcing the combination as soon
as the money market is strong enough
to float the stock.
There are widely different reports as
to the amount of stock the combination
will have, the figures on the total run
ming from 100000, 900 to $500 ,000, 900.
It Is said that preferred stock will rep
resent the book value of the various
properties and the common the good
will and other intangible assets.
The consolidation will include the
Armour, Swift and Morris and other
piOptIllSS III SuiSdSo, thS lidhiAhohu
and Anglo-American, Omaha and other
packing properties they have pur-
chased to put into the deal. and tie
Cudahy and Schwartzchild & Sulz-
berger companies. 1t Is further stated
that Gustavus F. Swift will be presi-
dent and ]. Ogden Armour probably
chairman Of the board of directors.
The consolidation of the various
A. Mt narld hn off
ed with comparative ease after the
terests. With the exception of the
Chicago stock yards, which are con-
trolled in Boston, all the properties in.
volved are owned and controlled by
the owners of the principal beef pack
ing plants.
The different yards that will be in
cluded in the deal. aside from the
Chicago yards, are those at Kansas
City, East St. Louis, st. Joseph, Mo-;
Fort Worth, Tex; South Omaha, Neb.
and Sioux City, Iowa, The Armour In
terest is the largest in the Kansas City
yards.
While the control of the Chicago
yards is held in Boston, the Chicago
packers have large holdings of the
stock also, and their recommendations
would undoubtedly have great weight
with the eastern crowd. With these
yards consolidated and the packing in
dustry all under one head, the packers
could practically control the beef mar
ket from start to finish.
The plan for consolidating the var
ious stock yards has not progressed as
yet to a point where the amount OF
stock required has been more than dis
cussed. II would undoubtedly rue
close up to s100.000.000.

ROOSEVELT ON THANKSGIVING.
He Fixes Thursday, November 81, as
the Day.

Washington, Oct. 30.-President
Roosevelt today issued his proclama
ton designating Thursday. November
81, as day OF thanksgiving.
The proclamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom OF
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day of fes'
tivities and thanksgiving to God. Over
a century and q quarter has passed
since this country took it's place among
the nations of the earth and during
that time we have had on the whole,
more to be thankful for than has
fallen to the lot of any other people.
Generation after generation has grown
to manhood and passed away. Each
has had to bear its peculiar burdens,
each to face its special crisis, and each
has known years of grim trial, when
the country was menaced by malice,
domestic or foreign difficulties, when
the hand of the Lord was heavy upon
1t in drouth or flood, or pestilence,
when in bodily distress and anguish
Of soul 1t paid the penalty of folly and
a forward heart. Nevertheless, decade
by decade we have struggled onward
and upward; we now abundantly en-.
joy material well being, have the ia
vor of the Most High. and we are striv.
ing earnestly to achieve moral and
spiritual uplifting. The year that has
just closed has been one of peace and
of overlooking plenty. Rarely has any
people enjoyed greater prosperity than
we are now enjoying. For this we
render heartfelt and solemn thanks
to the Giver of good, and we seek to
praise Him, not by words only. but by
deeds, by ,he way in which we do our
duty to our fellowmen.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving, Thursday. the
twenty-seventh of the coming Novem.
Der, and do recommend that through
out the land the people cease from
the ordinary occupations, and in their
several homes and places of worship
render unto Almighty God thanks for
the manifold blessings OF the past
year.
"In witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this twenty-ninth day of October. in
the year of Our Lord, one thousand
nine hundred and two. and of the in
dependence Of the United States the
one hundred and twenty-seventh

welt. BY the president, (signed) John

RoTHA ON BRITISH CRITICISM.
Declares Appeal For Aid Has Been
Misconstrued.

New York, Oct. 31.-Gen. BSfa of
the Boer commission, now in Europe
trying to raise funds for the redemp-
ton of the ruined farming districts
of South Africa, has cabled to the
World at length on the results of the
general mission up to date. The arti-
Gle says in part:
"Our words have been misconstrued.
Our actions have been assigned wrong
motives and our very motives have
been misstated and condemned.
THE British people have no reason
to doubt our sincerity. We called on
our people to come in and lay down
their arms. How many million pounds
were saved to the British nation by
that surrender 1t is needless now to
reckon up. Having accepted the terms
Lord Kitchener was authorized to Of
fer us we never sought to have them
modified. What we sought for was
not a modification of the terms of
the peace treaty, but the immediate
help of which our people are In sore
need.
Having come to plead a cause
which should speak eloquently enough
for itself, we are sorely disappointed
by the result. At least, we have had
every reason to consided that we have
failed on our errand.
1T is assumed that we did not take
kindly to a loan. That supposition
was gratuitous. AS to the shape in
which material help should be given
us we had neither the right nor the
will to pick and choose. But, having
seen no prospect of receiving such
help we appealed in our general need
to all the nations of the world.
THAT course has been sharply criti-
cized. So far as we can see all our
appeal to foreigners implied was that
our people were in sore need of in
slant relief and that we were willing
to undergo the humiliation of plead
ing for it.
Memories of help withheld despite
the pressing need and urgent appeal
for justice or generosity are certain
to live long, die hard and infiict dam
age out of all proportion to their seem
ing importance",
