deferred until after the close of the
Lewis and Clark exposition and viii
probably be held about October 20.
A GOODNESS is said to have arisen be-
tween Warden KEGS and Prison Ply
sician Y. G. Blalock as to who Is to
blame for the epidemic of typhoid
fever now raging at the penitentiary.
DR.. Blalock maintains that he warned
Warden KEGS several weeks ago that
the prison water supply was liable to
be contaminated. This Warden KEGS
admits, but asserts that DR.. Blalock
never spoke to him relative to clean
ing the standpipe. DR.. Blalock was
closeted with Governor Mead at the
Hotel Dacres for over an hour this
morning. He absolutely refused to dis
cuss the nature of the interview, but
it is presumed that affairs at the PEN
itentiary were freely discussed. Gov
ernor Mead also refused to state what
passed between he and DR.. Bla-
lock.

BEEF PACKERS LOSE
PLEAS ARE OVERRULED
Government Demurrer to Chicag'
Cases Is Sustained-Main Issue
Soon be Joined.

CHICAGO, Ills, Sept. 29.-In the
first round before Judge Humphrey in
the beef trust cases the government
won the contention. This morning the
court passed upon the three pleas of
the defense as to the legality Of the
grand jury indictments Of the pack
ers and declared that they could not
be attacked. The two other pleas re-
lating to publicity in drawing the jury,
the court stated would be harder to
decide, but there was no doubt the
act itself was So loose and indefinite
that the packers plea would not hold,
therefore the court sustained the de-
murrer of the government.
The packers attorney asked de-
lay of two weeks to file demurrer to
the indictment. The court allowed him
till October s. The demurrer will be
argued a week from Monday. Two
days are allowed for argument. when
the packers must come into court and
plead guilty or not guilty.

charges made against that official.
This was the announcement made
by Governor Mead this morning

against Warden KEGS. Governor Mead
stated that he did not intend to take
up the penitentiary scandal at this
time, but that a full investigation of

PLEADS INNOCENCE AND IGNORANCE

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Jacob H.
Schiff was a witness before the In
surance Investigating committee this
morning. He is a member of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., and was one of the man.
ayers of the Union Pacific syndicate
i in which the Equitable was portici-
pant.
Schiff said that when a director of
the Equitable he became member of
the executive committee. He defined
the operations of the executive and
the finance committees. He said the
finance committee merely approved
the actions of the executive commit
tee. With one exception the mem
bers of the finance committee We're
also members of the executive COM
mittee, and they simply sat in judg-
ment upon themselves. Hughes made
a searching inquiry to account for
funds apparently missing. Schiff said
that when the finance committee ap-
pointed an auditing committee he
supposed them honest. He did not
believe any man dishonest until it
| was proven. Schiff said the appoint
| ing power of the finance committee
was 'all Hyde and Alexander's." He
did not know of the contributions to
the republican campaign fund, but he
heard Hyde had contributed.
Schiff stated that in the general run
of corporations the directors are moth
ing more than dummies.
Schiff said ne did not know until the
present disclosures that Hyde had

| ion Pacific preferred stock in which
that Schiff,s firm sold a tremendous
amount to the Equitable at great
personal profit to Hyde and his as
sociates. Schiff spoke at length. He
declared that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. never
sold any kind of stock to the Equita =
BILE. He explained how in particular
the transactions acted as a clearing
house and were absolutely without
profit. He had never spoken a word
to Hyde about his interest. The first
indication of Hyde's interest was last
July, after Morton knew The witness

! ton as to what was the purpose of

was intended to control the Union
Pacific
Schiff produced list of securities

He said that in no case did he ever
pass upon the transactions. He de-
| scribed the syndicate operations by
saying that they were very profit
able. Schiff said he had no reason

connected with the transactions.
