Compact Ball Association.

Salt Lake City, Dec. 15.-Walter
Wilmot, manager OF the Butte base
ball club, arrived in the city last night
from Butte for the purpose of consult
ing the owners of the Salt Lake club
about next years circuit. Wilmot does
not favor extension to the Pacific
coast and says he believes there is no
chance for the league in that direc-
ton. He also says he expects to see
Spokane make every effort possible to
get into that league and leave Salt
Lake and Butte in the lurch. He pro-
poses to form a Utah and Montana
league, composed of Salt Lake and Og-
den on this end and four towns picked
from Butte, Helena, Great Falls, Bill
ings and Missoula on the Montana
end. He claims to- have had applica-
tons from some of these towns to

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ISSUED
BY SUPREME COURT.
SERVED On AGENTS
Swift, Armour, Cudahy and Ham.
mond Packing Companies Must
Appear IN Court.

Helena, Dec. 16.-Five of the big
gest packing houses OF the country
must appear in the supreme court
next week in answer to an order from
that tribunal, the order having been
made at the instance OF Attorney Gen
eral James Donovan, who alleges that
the companies have formed a trust,
and, having thus violated the laws OF
the state OF Montana, they should be
enjoined from doing business in the
state.
The application for attn order to
show cause was made by the attorney
general last Monday, the defendants
in the suits being the most prominent
factors in the organization commonly

Cudahy & Co. and the Hammond
Packing company Of Chicago, and the
Hammond Packing company OF Pu-
eblo.
Orders to Show Cause.
1t was alleged that the companies
named had entered a combination to
control prices of the livestock needed
for the manufacture OF the packing
house products, as we'll as the prices
OF the products, and that the combine
was in violation of the constitution
and statutes of the state.
The supreme court took the matter
under advisement until yesterday,
when it directed that orders to snow
cause be issued to each of the compa-
MES named, returnable next Friday,
December %, at IL o'clock a. m. At
this time the companies are required
to show cause, ii any they have, why
they should not be enjoined from do
ing any further business In the state
of Montana.
The orders were sent to Butte last
night, and will be served by the sher-
if of Silver Bow county, the supreme
court having made an order to this
effect. The orders will be served on
the state agents of the companies:
Harry S. Cuneo of Swift & Co, G. F.

CONFER AT
White HOUSE
TlvEs VISIT PRESIDENT.
CONSIDER RAILROAD RATES
a Share Of Attention from
Party Leaders.

Washington, Dec. 15.-President
Roosevelt's campaign for supervision
or railroad rates is bearing fruit more
quickly than he anticipated. He
learned yesterday that there is a
chance for action of some sort at this
session of congress, in addition to the
Cooper-Quarles bill, and called a O II
ference of senate and house leaders
for Thursday night at the White
house, where the matter will be dis
cussed.
There is still division in senate and
men consulted have not agreed. OF
course, the railroad men prefer to
have things as they are, but they re-
alize that the president has the people
with him and they are disposed to
compromise, if they car, rather than
tc make a fight that will result in de-
feat and possibly more stringent regu-
lations.
The Cooper-Quarles bill, now under
discussion by the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, en-
larges the powers OF the interstate
commerce commission and allows the
commission to NIX a rate where it finds
on complaint that there has been dis
elimination. 1t practically makes the
interstate commission a
court Of equity and leaves the burden
Of appeal upon the railroads.
There is talk of placing the commits
sion under the department Of COM
merce, and thus subjecting it to exc
cutive control.
AS to Tariff Revision.
Communications from all parts OF
the country are pouring in upon sena-
tors and representatives favoring the
presidents policies, tariff readjust-
ment and railway rate reform. Just
now the latter is attracting most at
tention. But tariff REIMBURSEMENT is
by no means forgotten at the White
house OR by the congressional leaders.
The letters are principally from
business men, who point out specific
reasons why there should be changes
in the rate of duty on certain arti-
cles, due, to changed commercial con-
ditions. The resolutions adopted a
few days ago by the political commit
tee of the Union League club of New
York, calling for an investigation as
to what changes should be made in
the tariff, have attracted a great deal
of attention among republican leaders
here. The Union, League is a high
class club, whose members are all re-
publicans.
The president believes he has pub
lie opinion with him, and now he
wants to secure, if he can, the cordial
cooperation of the leaders of his
party.
The chances are he will get it in
good time.
Extra Session In October.
From a source close to the presi.
dent and republican leaders in con
gress, information comes that an ex
ira session will probably be called
next autumn-in October-to try to
revise the tariff.
The policy of the president and his
advisers is to wait and see how strong
will grow the demand for revision and
upon what schedules it centers.
Two men whose judgment has great
weight with Mr.. Roosevelt are Elihu
Root and Cornelius N. Bliss. Both are
said to favor careful and conservative
revision and have spoken with the
president on the subject recently.

 The smelter at the Black Diamond has temporarily shut down It would seem from the statements of gentle men from that camp that there has been considerable friction for some time between PresIdcn: Kennedy and Superintendent Lake. On d show down Kennedy won out. Mr. Lake re- signed and most of the men walked out with him. The circumstance is pro- fouudly rcgretiable, but may he remcdicd in the near future.

Iu d communication to the Asso- ciated Press Bourke Cochran explains that he left the St. Louis convention before the nomination Of a vice-presi- dent was reached because the conven- ton desired to hear a speech from him and. owing to its failure to adopt a financial plank he could not tru:hfully assure tue convention that Parker had the faintest prospect Of success.
 Alter reciting the failure of his ef- forts to induce the New York delega- ton to bring tbe money question di- rectly before the convention, he con- tinucs: Under these circumstances the nomination Of Judge Parker, who wa, without any record on the coinage question except that he had voted twice for Mr. Bryan, seemed to pre- clude the sligttc7t hope that he would receive even a7 many clectorial votes d.

But this very pu-4illauimity or the managers. which led them tO surrender their own convictions and to stihe every attempt Of the New York City delegates to even voice the opinions of their con ~tiluents on :his momcntOus question, furnished Judge Parker with an op- Dortunity which he improved decis- lively.
