Washington, March 4.-The president
has transmitted to congress the report Of
Mr.. Garfield, commissioner Of corpora
tions, on the result of his inquiries into
the business of Armour & Co., Swift &
Co., Nelson Norris & Co., the National
Packing company, the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger company, and the Cudahy
Packing company. He says these six
concerns in 1908 slaughtered about As
per cent. of the total indicated slaughter
in the United States; that for three Of the
companies in 1903 the average net profit
was SO cents per head; that the year 1902
instead of being one of exorbitant profits
was less profitable than usual; that dur
ing the months when prices of beef were
the highest some at least of the leading
packers were actually losing money on
every head slaughtered Mr. Garfield,
after reviewing prices and conditions for
1902, 1903 and 1904, concludes that the
six companies above named apparently
are not overcapita and the percent

FINANCIAL

Lsssitude prevails in the financial world
today. The dSs's deatS>g has been light.
unusually fuctusting, the fluctuations be-
Ing frequent and for the most part incon-
sc1uential. The market is weak. The
opening quotations were weak and the ac-
uvity but slight. Gradually a rallying
OF strength waS felt and for a short time
during tho forenoon an effective brace
was expected. Towards midday though
matters turned and the market slipped
back into It's earlier state OF torpidty
and weakness.
The morning on the stock exchange in
New York was spiritless. there being l.t-
tie lively trading and no important oper-
ations. No sensational reports came from

was noticeable falling OFF OF numbers

Cambridge. Mass, Jan. 5.--The anti
cIpation that Edward Page. the father
OF Mabel Page. who was murdered at
her home in Weston on March 81 last.
would take the stand today in the trial
OF Charles L. Tucker. produced even
greater public interest than the proceed
lngs on tho previous days OF the trial.
Mr.. Page was called and sworn yes
terday but adjournment was taken before
his examination had been commenced.
fuckers calm manner is still mistaken
and he has thus far manifested no more
interest in the proceedings than the most
casual observer.
BY Sl5 this forenoon every seat In the
court room was filled and people were
applying for admission.
II was evident that the room would be
crowded while the father OF Miss Page
was giving his testimony Among the
spectators who arrived early were many
women.
Just before $3.50 Tucker was brought into
the court room by two deputy sheriffs.
He walked briskly 20 the dock nodding
and smiling 10 his attorneys and other
acquaintance I'm the room AS he sat
down he glanced about the room, but
showed no concern at its crowded con-
dition. There was no trace OF nervous
ness in his manner.

with the jury, came In at $40 and court
Was Immediately opened

custodian be appointed 10 take charge

gardlng alleged blood rrains on fuckers

Edward Page. bent with his rs years
and with the sorrow Of his daughters s
death walked with trembling steps 10 the
stand where he leaned heavily against
thu bar.
The prisoner gazed earnestly at the
old man and listened intently TO every
word he said.
Mr.. Page testified that he was formerly
merchant but that Of late years ne
had not engaged in business. He had
made a partial residence at Weston for
% years and for the past FIVE or six
years II had been his only home. His
wife died two years ago last September
and he now has two children. Mrs. Free
man, widowed daughter, and Harold

On March a. 1904. there was another

woman. on the morning OF that day. the

OF the revolver by Boulet.
The police investigated the Shooting

assault with a dangerous weapon, WAS
drunk and called at Roses room. where
he and the woman were together.
Some talk of trouble with another wom-
an whom he was going TO shoot caused
Rose and the woman to become scared
at Boulet's actions.
When he pulled a revolver no was or
dered off by Rose. whom the man with
the gun proceeded to hold UP for a quar-
ter and later for a dollar.
The girls attempt to escape was fol-
lowed by pistol shot which missed her
and entered a doorway.
