Packing House Company to Be Incor- porated In Arizona.

Kansas City. Sept. 2.-The Western who propose to build packing house of thoir own held meeting today and agreed on articles of incorporation for their packing house company.
 The articles will be filed in Arizona, because the lawyers say they can get better privileges there than elsewhere. There Is to be a sort of voting trust or ganized to handle controlling portion of the stock. The intention is to. have 5l per cent placed in the hands of trustees. Trustees certificates will be issued instead of stock certificates. The cattlemen say they can raise the money to buy, the stock among themselves. although 1t will be put on the market.
 c. r. Martin, Secretary of the National Live Stock Association, says the pur- pose of the company is not so much to fight the packing houses now in existence Rs to establish competition and to make the packers pay a reasonable price for cattle.

RUSSIA AND MANCHURIA.
a Less Radical View Of the situR-
ton seems tO Prevail at the
French Capital.

Paris April 2s.-The foreign Office
has received lengthy adyices from
Washington regarding the feeling in
the United States over the steps TAX
en- By Russia in connection with
Manehuria. The dispatches show that
the American government does not
intend TO join the powers in oppos-
ing the Russian demands, but that
the United States will confne its ac-
ton to safeguarding its own com
mercial interests. The assurances
have created a strongly favorable
feeling here The adyices also state
that Ambassador Mccormick, at St
Petersburg, has been instructed to
forward information on the subject
to Washington. The officials here say
this viii probably disclose that Rus
sia's action has been less radical than
appeared at first,
The view prevails that the powers
having political antagonisms toward
Russia are responsible for the pres
ent agitation. It is stated that Rus
sia's demands do not mean termina
tion Of the open door policy, but only
continuance, under Russian admin
istration, Of similar restrictions
now imposed by China.
In government quarters unmistaka
bic sympathy with the Russian atti
tude is shown It is claimed that
Russian interests in Manchuria and
its proximity to Siberia entitle Rus
sia to take supervisory steps.

IN.DRUG STORE
DIR. Emil Hertel Fined on
One Charge and Dis
missed on Two
WAS DOING THRIVING BUSINESS
Several Persons Testified They Had
Bought the Drug There, But Judge
Cochran Thought But One Case Was
Clearly Proven.

Or. Emil Hertel was convicted OF
selling cocaine at his drug store at
the northeast corner of Fourth and
Walnut streets and fined S25 and costs
IN city Court this morning.
There We're three charges against
the defendant but his attorney. John
G.. Gray managed TO have two of them
dismissed on legal technicalities.
In the first case brought up. Harry
Sherwood testified that he bought a
drug at four different times on July a.
He said ne asked for dope" but Of
course could not swear it was cocaine,
although il had the same effect. His
hollow cheeks and sallow complexion
told palmer than his words that the
drug was getting in its deadly work on
him. DIR. Hertel testified that after
selling the drug tht he had filed pre-
scriptions covering its sale.
Neasey w. Briscoe, OF No. sos Sher-
man street. was the principal witness
in the second case He testified he
purchased cocaine at the drug store
yesterday afternoon and DIR. Frank
Roop Smith said it showed every test
of cocaine but as the fox and con-
tents We're not offered in evidence.
Judge Cochran dismissed this charge
also.
In the third case Benjamin Torbert
Of No SO4 Pine street said upon the
stand that he bought cocaine from DIT
Herters clerk yesterday afternoon. He
placed an Identification mark upon the
box and delivered it to Chief Black
who sent It to Dr. Smith to be an
alyzed. by Captain Evans.
II was in their possession only ant
the case was so clear that there wa.
no question. A fine of S25 and cost
was imposed on DR.. Hertel but hi
counsel. Mr. Gray, gave notice of al
appeal
Chief Black in speaking OF the co
caine habit said that il is spreading
to an alarming extent on the Eas
Side and that some Of the drug hend
are in a condition almost bordering ol
insanity He declared that at prcsen
the use of the drug is causing fa
more trouble than Intoxicating drinks
He is determined to break up the prac
tice if possible. and will continue hi
search for information.
Chief Black has worked hard on tn,
cases and hoped for better results. Th'

JUDGE TURNED DOWN
OFFER OF PRIVATE CAR
Appreciated Courtesy But
Will Go to Birmingham in
Ordinary Sleeper

The Southern Railroad Company has
offered Judge George Gray, Of this city,
private car for his trip to Birming-
ham, Alabama, where he goes as a mem-
Der OF the Arbitration Commission to
Settle the coal strike in that section. He
has declined the offer and will make the
trip South in an ordinary Pullman car
with a sleeping berth.
While Judge Gray duly appreciates
the railroad comDanys generous offer
it is understood that he refused to ac-
cept it on the grounds that the decision
of the strike commission may in some
way affect the railroad or that 1t may
be personally interested in the dispute.
When seen by a reporter for the
Evening Journal this morning, Judge
Gray said he would leave for Birming-
ham this evening. He will leave here
at o'clock and win arrive in Birming-
ham tomorrow night.
The commission will begin its work
on Monday morning and viii have to be
through by September 1st, when Judge
Gray returns TO this city TO open the
Circuit Court.
The indications are that Judge Gray
will be chosen chairman Of the commits
sion. slxiaA
