BEEF PACKERS DEMUR,
But Technically Admit the AIIega-
tions Made by the Government.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The government suit
against the alleged beef trust was sent a
step forward here to-day by the filing in
the United States Court of demurrers of
the defendants, both as individuals and as
corporations. The demurrers set up at
considerable length that the complaint on
which an injunction is asked is insufficient
1t is maintained that the suit is multi
faripus and If allowed to stand would con-
gest the business of the court IN specific
terms the demurrers assert that $50 much

Of the several interests of the defendants
and their business methods has not stated
such case would entitle the complaint
ant to the relief prayed for.
The effect of the filing of the demurrers
is technically to admit all the allegations
charged in the bill of complaint The ar
gument advanced in support of the packers
position is that, admitting the truth of the
charge, no sufficient ground has been
shown for the Issuance of the petitioned
writ. The instrument was signed by John
s. Miller, counsel for all the packers If the
demurrer is sustained by the court the
original complaint may be amended, and il
overruled, the defendants have the privi-
lege of answering 1t is not expected that
any further steps will be taken in the case

HANNA TO HIS EMPLOYEES
SPEECH ON PRESENTATION OF A
CANE TO THE SENATOR.
Relations of Capital and Labor Dis
cussed and AllusiOn Made to the
Anthracite Miners Strike.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 4-The zoo or SEQ
employees of the Cleveland City Railway
Company, of which Senator NJ. A. Hanna
is president. met here tonight and pre-
sented Senator Hanna with a valuable
cane. In acknowledging the gift Senator
Hanna expressed his sincere thanks to his
employees for their gift and incidentally
spoke on the relations that he hoped to
TO exist between capital and labor. In
part he said:
Il cannot adequately express my feelings
on this occasion. 1t has been the one am
not the affection. of the men in my employ.
l have been with laboring men all my life
and have been their employer for many
years. and this night means something for
me. for it brings with it the satisfaction
of knowing that so large number of men
in my employ have been satisfied with my
career as an employer.
Your chairman has referred to the Civic
Federation. 1 say to you that were it not
for my official position and my duties as
public servant, L would devote more OF my
time TO the policies on which that orsaniza-
ton is founded
Concerning the anthracite strike, Senator
Hanna said: when the great anthracite
strike was threatening our federation
worked hard for weeks to avert ito bring
men and employers together. but failed.
After it was on we worked hard to settle
it, but failed. However, in that matter it
is my personal satisfaction to know that
the statement that l made at the time
that the men would no go back on their
word, has been kept and that a sympa-
thetic strike has been averted. 1 told the
federation that there would be no sympa-
thetic strike among the bituminous miners
Il believe in manhood. Labor organiza-
tions are not things which can be sued for
breach of contract. They have no corporate
existence. But 1 would rather have the
promise OF a laboring man backed only by
his sense of honor and his manhood than
any agreement which might be enforced by
law.
Manhood and integrity are the same,
whether they belong TO a miner, a street.
railway man or boss. For myself
have no higher am oition than to work for
the purpose of bringing capital and labor
nearer together and to live out my life in
Cleveland, where L have lived for ifty-one
years.

BEEF PACKERS WARNED
SHOULD BEWARE ORGANIZING
TRUST MR.. SPRINGER SAYS.
VIII Suffer If They Attempt to Deceive
ockmen-Demurrers to the Gov
ment's Allegations.

DENVER, Col, Aug 4. John w.
Springer. president of the National Live
Stock Association Of the United States, in
answer to a question concerning the forma-
tion of a beef combine, answered:
Our organization is watching every
move of the big packers. fully realizing the
ruin which would ensue If the contemplated
combine is effected. The packers have
individually denied any intention of COM
bining into a merger of packing interests.
If they are attempting 10 deceive the stock
man and the public, they will incur the
opposition of every live stock producer in
the Union. Such combine would be more
disastrous than any other that could be
formed For then one man would arbitrarily
fix the price of meat 1t would be against
public policy and would result in the great
est commercial warfare ever waged in
this country and in the end the packers
combine would go to the wall II the
packers are wise, as / give them credit for,
they will let well enough alone; If they
deceive us as to their intentions, then 1
give notice now that it will be a fight of
every producer of live stock. aided by the
consumers of this country, against the
most uncalled-for combine or trust ever
organized. Let the packing interests be-
ware-they may as we'll understand the
limit has been reached in their grasping
strenuoSity."

COMMITTEE WILL MEET.
Street-RaiIway Franchise to Be Con-
sidered on Thursday Night.

Chairman Negley. of the committee on
contracts and franchises will to-day cali
a meeting of the committee for Thursday
evening to consider the street-railway
franchise. The members Of the committee
have already expressed themselves as sat
isfied with the contracts and the meeting

the membership of the Council eighteen
have expressed the opinion that the fran
chises are understandable and the two
parties are not divided on this.
Those who favored a special meeting this
week to pass the ordinances will likely be
disappointed. Mayor Bookwalter does not
favor a special meeting and the admins

The play scarcely needs any further introduction to American audiences. For more than half a century it has been recognized as the greatest story of e womans love and self-sacrIfce ever written. The greatest actresses of the civilized world have es- saved the part. Bernhardt has achieved a triumph, Nethersele has been pro- nounced wonderful, and many other emi- nent players have won success in the role. Grace Kimball will be seen in the title role this week. MT. Gilmore will ap- pear as Armand Duvall, and the rest of the Fawcett company will also appear. The staging will be very elaborate and every effort will be made to give one of the most complete productions of play ever seen here. In the gambling scene in the fourth act the play will be presented in a very realistic manner. The company has already won success in the play and Miss Kimbalrs work in the title roll has been highly praised.
