MEAT MIN SUBPOENAED
Max Sulzberger and E. B. Fish Must
Testify Against Armour & Co.
TURNED STATES EVIDENCE

Attorney Declares Their Action Is Not
TO "Get Even" With Other Packers,
and They Will Go On the Stand
Under Protest.
Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Max Sulzberger.
Chicago vice president Of the Schwarz-
schild & Sulzberger Packing company,
and e. B. Fish, who is one OF the
traffic officials of the company, were
subpoenaed by the government as wit
nesses in the beef trust cases to tes-
tify against Armour & Company and
the other defendants. Two other en-
ployes of the Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger company have also been sub
poenaed by the government. Officials
of the Schwarzschild & SulzbergeT
company pleaded guilty recently to
charges of conspiracy to illegally OBJ
tain railway rebates. The offenders
through pleading guilty escaped i'm
prisonment, being sentenced to pay
6nes aggregating $25, 900.
The subpoenaes made public were
served some weeks ago, but the matter
was kept secret. Traffic Manager z. B.
Fish, who has been subpoenaed, is the
witness whom, II was charged In an
indictment, Attorney Joseph Weissen-
bach and three other men spirited
away to Canada Government secret
service men worked on the case for a
long time and finally reported that
Sulzberger and the other three at
taches OF the company are in posses
sion Of facts concerning meeting OF
packing officials held within the past
year, almost within the time OF the
grand jury investigation. 1t was
learned, It is declared, that a repre-
sentative of the IS. & 81 company was
seated at the table about which the
packers gathered. The details Of this
alleged meeting will. 1t is hoped by the
prosecution, be exposed before the jury
which tries the packers. Attorney
Weissenbach. however, strenuously
denied that the Stewardship & Sulz-
berger Company Is turning states evil
dence in order TO get even" with the
other packing companies. He declared
that the witnesses will go on the stand
under protest.
After a search OF many weeks the
government officials have succeeded In
finding an important witness. He is
George L. Fofin, manager for Ham.
mond & Company at the stock yards.
He has been out Of the city, 1t is de-
clared. for some time. He was sub
poenaed.

subject to discontinuance at any time

The secretary announces that the
purpose is not to stimulate circulation,
but to gradually reduce the amount OF
indebtedness maturing in 1907 and
1908. He deems It better to get some
of the present indebtedness out OF the
way before any great volume OF 18th

IN DEFENCE OF A FRIEND

No. will not hear him slandered-ther,
are many worse than he;
He HAS virtues and | know it, thongl
they're rather hard to see.
If we get upon that subject we're not like
ly to agree.
| must really stand up for him, though
it's likely to offend
His mere casual acquaintance who tind
nothing to commend.
I am careless of opinion, for / call the
man my friend.
At the same time am candid, and I'm
willing to confess
That his honesty he never yet has carried
to excess.
l would hardly trust him with the things
Of value l possess.
1t is Just a sort of laxness, he is not to
blame for it.
His word, of course, | know one can't de-
pend upon bit,
In plain terms he's a liar-and his best
friends must admit.
He is very avaricious, he would sell his
soul for gain,
He obtains lot of pleasure from another
persons pain;
He is treacherous, ungratefnl and most
horribly profane.
He is somewhat of bully, though his
courage rather lags,
And it certainly is wearisome to hear the
way he brags-
And intemperate really have no pa
tience with his iags.
But you need not in my pre-. ence get
your hammers out to rap,
Someone else might in your absence say
the same of you, maphap,
And, in spite of all his failings, he's a
pretty decent chap.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE
Short Pungent Paragraphs Gathered Here
and There

The word "bilion" in England and
the colonies means million millions.
Apprentice seamen get SIG month,
ordinary seamen, $40; seamen, S24.
From San Francisco to Honolulu is
2,OS9 miles; from San Francisco to Manila
$3.50 miles.
An epidemic OF appendicitis has struck
Cheyenne, Wyo. The hospitals are filled
with patients.
There are practically no illiterates in
Norway. The men are perhaps the finest
in the world physically.
The Sultan of Turkey has promised to
permit Americans to sell bibles in his
dominions. But he will forget by to-
morrow.
Cy Perkins, the New Hampshire mil
lionaire, who died the other day, never
drove anything swifter than a pair of
steers.
The poor man has one consolation. II
he does not get money when he needs it,
he is always sure to need it when he gets
it,
Secretary Bonaparte refuses to use rail
road passes. Evidentally he can see no
reason why the head of the navy should
CAD about on land.
Marching Through Georgia" is said to
be the favorite tune of the Japanese
soldiers. Native music has no marches
as it is without ''time."
Don't get too gay and puffed up with
your seeming prosperity. Many man
went down when he had the world at his
feet-by his foot slipping.
The American words "boss" for master,
is the modern form of the Dutch "baas,"
of the same meaning. 1t is descended
from the original Dutch settlers of New
York.
The monkey wrench is modern tool
and the inventor, though old, is still
living. 1t should be termed monchy
wrench, after Charles Monchy, who sold
the patent for $1,000
1t is stated that the Turkish minister
of marine has saved $S,0O0,0O0 out of
his salary of $1,000 a year. He must
have introduced some American methods
into his administration of public affairs.
Hiram Cronk, the last survivor Of the
war of 1912, who died few days ago at
the age los, chewed five to ten cents
worth OF tobacco day and drank gallon
of wine week. ii he had cut out these
bad habits he might have lived to good
ripe old age.
Up to 1910, there were no iron bridges
in this country, expect suspension
bridges, in which iron links were used in
the cables and suspenders, the foor-sys-

LADY MANAGERS HAVE SET EXAMPLE

In view of the terrible corruption that
is being unearthed in every direction
among men who are entrusted with the
handling of other peoples money the re-
port OF the Lady Managers OF the St.
Louis Exposition comes as pure and re-
freshing breeze from an atmosphere pol
luted almost to suffocation by the. .dishon-
estes of men in high official positions.
The Lady Managers of the st. Louis
Exposition were given 100000 of the
Government money to expend, and they
have done the unheard of thing among
men, OF returning S26,667.56. There
were no restrictions placed upon them.
They could do with the money just as they
chose, and in returning more than one
quarter OF the amount with books all
straight, bills all paid and proper vouchers
for all bills, they have set an example in
the expenditure of Government money
which should cause people to think and
silence those who are loudly denouncing
the right of women to participate in gov
ernmental affairs on the ground that they
are lacking in business ability.
If the returns of money not needed
shows a lack of business ability, let us
have less business ability in the manage
ment OF our government and more of the
un-business methods of women. We
need more heart sympathies and less
head scheming in the business affairs Of
this country.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

! [ seems from the text of the Chinese
/ note that has just been received in
Washington, that China did not after all
ask for representation at the Peace Con-
ference at Portsmouth. Tie note from
her was received at Washington and ad-
, dresses in identical terms to the other
powers stating that she would not agree
to any settlement OF the questions at is
sue between Russia and Japan that did
not recognize her sovereign claims in
Manchuria The note has been forwarded
to the President at Oyster Bay. A similar
warning, for it is nothing less in tone,
has heen sent by the Chinese government
to st. Petersburg and to Tokyo. What
ever China has to say on theeubject prob
ably will have but little weight, but the
mere fact that she has thought it neces-
sary to address such note to the nego-
tiating powers and to define her position
to the. rest of the world indicates that
she has not all the faith she might have
in the assurances of Japan that her war
against Russia was not for territorial ag-
grandisement and that she intended to
return intact whatever territory Of China
she. wrested from the Russians on the
mainland. China will of course be as
sured of the moral support of this govern
ment in preserving her integrity. but it
would be little curious if the Ports
mouth conference brought about any
agreement between Japan and Russia that
would call for warming on the subject
from the United States and the other
powers.
