Rule on validity of Indict-
ments Today.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-This afternoon
Judge Humphrey heard the closing arRu-
ments on the plea of abatement filed by
the packers against the indictment charR-
ing them with illegal methods of conduct
ing business. The court declared that
while it was possible that he would hand
down his decision tomorrow. IL is not GER
tain that he will do so. The grounds on
which the abatement OF the indictment
is sought by the packers are that the
grand jury returning the indictment was
illegal because IL was not publicly drawn
as required by law; that the defendants
were deprived OF their right TO challenge
the jurors; that Judge Bethea, sitting in
the eastern division OF the northern dis
triet OF Illinois. had no right to receive
the return Of an indictment returned from
the northern district OF the same division. !.
that one member OF the jury was not
legally made a member OF that body. and

NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.--The board of con-
sulting engineers and several members of

OF the canal conmissiaH. Speaking of 4h,,
work to be accomplished, Mr.. Shonts said:
Just how long the board of engineers
will remain on the isthmus is a question
cannot answer. personally invited them
to visit Panama.
''In theory. the board has considered the
three proposed plans for the building OF
the canal. the sea level canal the lock
canal and the lock and lake canal They
Will give these plans careful: consideration on
the ground and then report. 1t does not
follow, however, that the canal commission
will be bound to follow their advice II
they give unanimous report in favor of a.
certain kind of canal II is probable that
the commission will favor that kind ~
canal as being the best II thew give a
majority and minority report It will rest
entirely with the commission which one tn
accept or whether to reject both. The COM
mission advises the president of it's decision
and he in turn notifies congress"

RELIEF FOR HoUSEHoLDERS
Secretary Wilson Says Prices for
Meat, Poultry and Dairy Prod
ucts VIII he Lower.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-Secretary Will
son of the Department of Agriculture today
predicted lower retail prices during the
coming winter season for meat, dairy prod
ucts, poultry and other necessities OF life.
He says the relief for the householder will
come from the enormous yields of small
grain and corn in the great grain territory
Of Illinois. Minnesota, the Dakotas Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas.
Heavy crops" the secretary said, "have
resulted in the return of normal agrlcul-
tural conditions in the great producing
states. The meat producers have been
losing money for the past three years.
Grain cost too much. There was no profit
in feeding. as strange as this may seem to
people who pay such prices as we do for
our meat. But the heavy grass crop of
this year, in addition to the heavy corn
crop and the heavy oats crop, will all COM
bine to bring about normal feeding condi-
tions. And this means a direct influence
on horses, beef, pork, dairy products and
poultry"

BIe BANK hs sWINpLEp
New York COneerh Gives Up 100000
worth of Securities for worth
less Check.

NEW YORK. Sept. s.-The details Of a
scheme whereby the National City bank OF
this city was recently victimized by a
clever forger came out today The forger
presented a bogus check bearing the name
OF a well known Stock exchange firm and
secured exchange securities valued at about
$4,000.
Pearl q Co., stock brokers, at q Will
liam street, recently negotiated a one-day
loan for 10000 with the National City
bank. On Wednesday a check for the
amount Of the loan. plus $3.50 for the one
days interest. was presented at this bank
by a stranger who received the security
deposited by Pearl & Co. for their loan
The bank on which the brokers' check
was drawn Is one with which Pearl &
Co. never had an account so the forgery
was not discovered until the check had
passed through the clearing house ex-
change, when it was promptly branded as
fictitious. A private detective agency was
called In and transfer OF the securities at
once stopped. The detectives intimate that
they have clue to the identity OF the
forger. who Is believed to have had one
or more accomplices.
1t is believed that the forger had an in
innate knowledge of Pearl & Co.'S affairs
E. A slaybsck, junior member of Pearl &
Co., said:
have been asked not to divulEe the
name of the bank concerned. / can only
say that II is rich and II the forgery
should involve any loss the bank will be
amply able to stand IT,
The odd amount of the forged check
added Mr.. Slayback, represents a days
interest at IA per cent. As a matter
OF fact the loan is recorded on our books
at ~ per cent. Clearly. some body must have
mad knowledge of the loan. Yet had il been
someone In our employ the interest would
have been computed at "a per cent.
The firm Of Pearl & Co. consists of
Dyer, Pearl and slayback Mr. Pearl is
now in Europe. The members of the firm
own Stock exchange seats and their opera
tions on the board have at various times
been very extensive.
The securities offered by Pearl & Co. for
their loan and surrendered by the bank
for piece of worthless paper include !, 900
shares United States Steel company, 1000
shares Rock Island common 1000 shares
Metropolitan Street Railway 700 shares

POPULAR UNREST IN HUNGARY

the union Of all Hungarian parties rfor
the defense Of the Hungarian constitu-

meeting OF deputies which has been called
for October 2. the day before the great

such a union.
The court at Vienna is reported to be
distracted by conflicting advice. Many
Hungarian politicians of influence have ad-
vised the king-emperor to yield on GER
tain points, and It is reported tonight that
others are endeavoring to secure his ma
jecty's favor by advising persistence OF
Francis Joseph in his stand.
The failure of Baron Fjervary's audience
of the emperor today to bring about a
solution OF the difficulty is hailed by the
members Of the coalition as favorable to
their cause 1t is said tonight that the
emperor has expressed a desire to see
Count Albin CzalIy president of the upper
house of the Hungarian Diet and that tho
count will be given an audience next Sat
urday. Il is said that the count advo-
Gates peace with the coalition. 1t is also
learned from a high authority that the
position of Count Goluchowski. the Aus
trianH Hungarian foreign minister, is so
shaken that he will resign within a few
weeks. It Is possible his successor will
