HOLDS WALLER GUILTY.
Findings Of the Ceurt-Martial Have
Been Overrulea BY Gen.
ChaRee.

Manila, May 26.-Gen. Chaffee has
disapproved the action of the court
martial in acquitting Maj. Waller and
Lieut.. Day of the charge of killing
natives of Samar without legal pro-
cess. Gen. Chaffee says the verdicts
are a miscarriage Of justice and the
findings are opposed to the evidence.
He holds that while the laws Of war
justify summary executions in GER
tain cases, such cases did not arise in
this Samar campaign. A minute re-
view of the record leads him to de-
eide that justice to the military SER
vice and common fairness to the help
less natives whom Waller sent to
their death, his acts partaking more
of unlawful retaliation than justifi-
able warfare, making the case one
that should not become an approved
precedent for young officers. How
ever, considering the mental condi-
ton of Maj. Waller, SO much Of the
findings as declare the accused not
guilty of murder are approved. Lieut..
Day is censured because, though he
knew Maj. Walters condition, he did
not counsel delay. Instead, he sec
onded Maj. Walters resolve and

PACKERS ENJOINED.
Restrained by Court from Conspiring
to Control Prices-Injunction
II Temporary.

Chicago, May 21.-The six great
packing houses that together control
60 per cent. of the meat business
of the United States have been en-
joined from continuing any combina-
tion or agreement by which prices
are fixed or trade is restrained.
Judge Grosscup, in the United States
circuit court Tuesday afternoon, at
the request of the government, en-
tered the order for temporary in
junction. The packers made no OPP
position to it, except in some par
ticular details, and through their
counsel. John S. Miller, they an
nounced that they were not yet
ready for the battle. 1t will be Au-
gust before the real fight comes, for
the law gives the defendants that
much time, and when It does come 1t
will be upon questions of law and
not upon questions of fact.
The firms against which the tenn
porary injunction stands are: Ar
mour & Co., Swift q Co., the Cudahy
Packing company, Nelson Morris &
Co., the Schwarzschild G. Sulzberger
company, the Hammond Packing
company. Two subordinate compa-
MES, the Armour Packing company
and the G. H. Hammond company, are
also enjoined, as are some 80 of the
owners, officials and employees of the
companies.

ADOPTS REVISED CREED.
The Presbyterian General Assembly
Unanimously Agrees to Changes
I'm Confession Of Faith.

New York, May 23.-The general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church
Thursday adopted the report of the
committee on creed revision making
changes in the Confession of Faith. This
action, which was practically unani-
nous, was taken with little or no de-
bate. The change proposed will now
go to the various presbyteries for rat
ification. When the report was pre-
scented last Friday motion for its
adoption was made at once, but the
vote was deferred until Thursday. AS
was to be expected, the prospect of an
interesting debate on creed revision
attracted crowd which filed the gal
leries solidly and when the doors of
the ground floor were opened all the
seats not reserved for the commission
ers were occupied at once.
New York, May 24.-The Presby-
terrain general assembly voted to APP
point committee to cooperate with
committees from other religious
bodies to secure uniform restrictive
legislation relative to divorce and re-
marriage.
