STOCKHOLDERS PROTEST.
Resented the Plan of the Prssi6ert
 of Match Trust.

Chicago, Feb 3.-The annual meet ing in Chicago, yesterday, of the stockholders of the Diamond Match Co was cnlivened by an unexpected incident. President 0. C. Barber at tempted the role of President Have meyer of the sugar trust, in the mat ter of withholding earnings, but his object arose out of the attitude. of the taXing board, whereas President Have meyer has always stated that his ob- .iact was to prevent competing con- panies from ascertaining particulars of the sugar trust business. When President Barber yesterday suggested that statements of earnings be with held from publication, the adverse sen timent of shareholders found vent in numerous speeches. which resulted in the proposal of the president being promptly withdrawn. Mir Barber stat ed after the meeting that n closer pol icy with regard to the company's af- fairs was, in his estimation. advisable. but so long as the stockholders seem to oppose such a plan it is not his de- sire to force an issue. He says that "hiie 'Ie uatCH Cohipdhs HdS WoH di its tax cases thus far it is constantly being menaced from that source. Withal, he said, the company had no intention of leaving the state.
 The profits of the company for the year 1904 were smaller than those of 1903 by over S17OOOO. The most i'm portant change in tho income accouu, was the big falling off in the amount set aside for depreciation-onlr $l53.- GOO against S1.365.O00 in the previous year

FAMILY STARVING.
Snowdfifts Around Woman's Beds ids
 -Lsaacy of S5,000 Com n|

The little town of Roxbury in Litch- field county has case which has been reported to the Connecticut Humane society and which recent Investigations by ali agent of the society have shown to beFan extreme instance of want.
 The Easterman family consists of four members, an aged mother, q daughter and two sons, Charles and John. It is said that it was once one of the first families of the town. Its members now have nothing to make life worth living, being poorly clad, half-fed and having altogether inade' quate protection from the cold. Mrs Easterman is said by d member of the family to be about S5, but the woman herself. who is somewhat childish, seems to think that she is over 90. The daughter, who is extremely deaf, is an unmarried woman of 40. She is weak minded The, two sons are not far from 40 years old. They nominally run farm, but their chief business is said to be drinking.
 One of the brothers lad told the agent that they had potatoes in the cellar, but the agent disregarded the advice that it was too wet for him to go into the cellar and found twenty or more bushels of potatoes were frozen. This was what he had expect ed after seeing an attempt on the part of d member of the family to thaw out some of the vegetables and make them fit to eat.
 Both of the women wore the thinnest clothing, although it was hardly worthy of that name. It was almost of no use in protecting them from the cold, and no clothing could have done much in that house which, according to the representative of the Humane society, was in as bad shape as it could be and still stand. In the room occupied by mother and daughter as sleeping room the snow was found piled high on three sides of the bed and one pile was higher than the bed. The snow had come through the side of the house.
 One brother was interrOgated as to why better care was not taken of his mother. He said that she was going to have more clothes and that cloth had been bought. The purchase was exhibited, but the cloth was not much better than the potatoes. He said that the family had means and this is be- lieved to be true. He also said that his sister was an heiress to the extent of $5,O0O.
 This statement was afterwards coll firmed by selectman of the town, who said that that amount had been left to her. but that she had not yet received it. as q conservatOr was to be appointed.

THE LAIHROP CASE.
Registered Mail Package May Throw
 Some Light on the Matter.

Unless something unforeseen de- velops the next hearing of the Lathrop case will take place tomorrow before noon.
 Before Judge Wheeler opened su- perior court this morning Attorney O'Neill stated to him that Postmaster Guernsey, very important witness in the matter declined to testify yes terday and he wished ruling of the court on the stand the postmaster had taken. In all probability Mir O'Neill said, he would apply to the court for q mittlmus to send the postmaster to jail if he persists in refusing to testify.
 Judge Wheeler said he could not re- call any case of the kind. that it was simply d matter of procedure. In fact he knew nothing at all about the case.
 Mir O'Neill stated the circumstances of the case, that is, that Attorney John r. Kellogg had been appointed com mittee by Judge Roraback to hear the evidence and it was Mir O'Neill's in tentiOn to have the case disposed of at the next fegriar term of tne ron"t. if possible. Mir Guernsey is valuable witness. Mir O'Neill said, and it is very important that he should testify re- garding registered package which a private detective had said he sent to New York on August 10, 1903. If Mir Guernsey again refused to testify Mir O'Neill would ask that he be punished for contempt of court, but in all prob ability MT Kellogg would decline to punish him. Of course. Mir O'Neill could not say what Mir Kellogg would do. but he wished to be prepared for anything that he might or might not do and he desired to have ruling by the court.
 The matter was deferred while other business was being disposed of and by that time MT O'Neill, who had been looking up the books since yesterday afternoon, announced that he had found an authority empowering MT Kellogg to commit any witness who declined to testify. This closed the matter for the time.
