billion dollar packing trust is
among the possibilities If the United
States government should succeed in
maintaining its contemplated injunc-
ton proceedings. The prediction is
made in Chicago financial circles that
large packers who may be made de-
PENDANTS in the federal court will be
forced formally to combine If the pros
ecution against them under the Sher-
man antitrust law is successful. The
combination would be followed along
the lines followed by the United States
Steel corporation and would be made
TO comprise practically all the beef
packing companies in the country. In
the formation of such combination
all the powers now denied the packers,
with one exception, could be legally
consolidated. The single exception, in
the opinion of corporation lawyers,
would be the adoption of an arbitrary
and unreasonable schedule of prices.

Guilty OF Treason, Former Soldier is Given
Ninety-Dine Years.

Ernest Wilde. a British subject, oc-
cupies cell in the guardhouse at JEFF
ferson barracks, ST. Louis, awaiting
transportation to the federal prison on
Alcatraz island in California bay, to
serve ninety sentence for
treason to the United States If he
had not falsely sworn that he was a
citizen of the United States he could
not have found his way into his pres
ent predicament, for he would not have
been accepted as a recruit for the
United States army in ST. Louis De-
cember 5, 1899, and shipped to the
Philippines.
Wilde had been in active service on
Luzon island only about one month
when he disappeared from the camp of
company B of the Twelfth infantry at
Panequie, fifty miles from Manila.
For twenty days he remained absent.
Then he turned up in Tarlac and sur
rendered. He said he had been cap
tured by the insurgents, and with
much difficulty had escaped. With
him was soldier FAMED Kenney from
the fourth cavalry, who told the same
story.
Instead of taking 'Yilde's word and
permitting him to rejoin his command,
the commanding officer at Tarlac or
dered him before general court-mar-
tial, charging him with desertion and
specifying that he had quit camp to
join and fight with the Filipino insur-
gents. On this charge and specifica-
ton Wilde was convicted.

 Professor Reginald A. Fessenden, the wireless telegraph expert, is in Pitts burg with friends. He declared last night that he had completed arrange ments for the organization of a close $5,000,000 company for the development of the wireless system.
 On the strength of success of experi- ments conducted in the interest of the United States government Professor Fessenden has arranged to fulfill number of contracts of importance. He and his associates will shortly take up the work of installing transatlantic stations connecting, in one instance, the United States with France.

 "The wireless telephone works just like the ordinary telephone with the wooden masts erected to height of 145 feet Under it's operation it is absolute ly impossible for one man to break in on another
 Officers of the United States navy and army have tested the system of wireless telegraphy, and it probably will be used in number of the depart ments.
 Our company will esta blish labora- tories and experimental stations at many points, principally on the coast.
 ''The weather bureau is the only gov ernment department that has any right in the patents. Secretary Wilson re- gently asked me how long it would take to put matters in such condition that weather bureau men could carry on the work. l informed him that thought we could have everything finished by September |; then expect my contract with the government will have been full lV filled "
