that have been DEVELOPED by this in

they did not belong and that funds OF

TECHNICALITlES
BRUSHED ASIDE
Failure of the Plea in Abatement Of
fered by the Beef Packers.
DEMURRER WILL BE FILED
DEFENSE TRYING HARD TO
AVOID A TRIAL.

= HICAGO. Sept. 2&-FederaI Judge
L. Fred J. Humphrey today sustained
the demurrer filed by United
States District Attorney Morrison 10
the plea in abatement made by packers
seeking TO have indictments for alleged
restraint of trade declared void. Judge
Humphrey said he made his decision
on broad grounds without taking into
consideration technicalities which the
government advanced against the plea
in abatement.
1t is likely that the jury for the trial
win be drawn about the middle OF Oc-
tOber.
Tried to Amend Their Plea.
After the decision had been given the
defending attorneys tried TO amend the
fourth plea by the insertion of the word
for" This met with resistance from
the district attorney, but the court
promised that if the law was clear on
the point he would allow il. The gov
eminent is said TO fear a trick in the
insertion of the one word. The district
attorney moved that the defendants
plead to the Indictment. Ii was an
nOunced that d demurrer is to be filed

The defendants were ordered by the
court 10 plead next Thursday morning,
the pleadings TO be taken up on argu-

Argument of Defense.

1t was argued by the defense that he
was sitting in the eastern division Of
the northern district of Illinois and re-
ceived an indictment voted in the north
eTn division of the northern district of
Illinois. The district attorney declared
that if the law of March 8, 1905, which
created the position now held by the
judge and also rearranged the district
was construed against his contentious
there was no court and there was no
Judge and there was no return OF the
indictment.

Court Sprung d Surprise.

The court surprised almost every one
in court when he read from President
ROOsevelt's message in the Congress

which it is declared that Judge Bethea

promotion gave Judge Bethea the right

qualified on Hyde Shares.

Up 10 a recent time Mr.. Schiff was
qualified as a director by shares trans
terred by Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde drew
the dividends on these shares. Mr.
Schiff received no beneficial results
from them. They were retFansferred
10 the trustees under the Ryan pur-
chase. Mr.. Schin said that prior 10 last
February he was not a policy holder in
the Equitable, and was not in any diff
terent position from many other di-
rectors, and held his position at the
request of Mr. Hyde. He was asked
20 become a member of the finance
committee SO that he could give his
Judgment on the securities the society
purchased. The question of prOpriety
did not occur to him on this point be-
cause the finance committee does not
decide the actual purchase but merely
advises the sale or purchase Of securi-
ties. The value of his advice in this
regard, witness said, was the same as
Judge of higher court because of his
experience. His position was not one
of much Importance, he stated. because
he could not insist that his judgment
be followed. He could not say it was a
surprise 10 him 20 find that his posi-
ttuu as member OF the finance COM
mIJtee was perfunCtOry

scHIFF AND THE EQUITABLE.
Banker Pleads Ignorance of Question
able Transactions.

New York, Sept 29.AJacob H. Schiff,
head Of the firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
bankers of this city, and formerly a di-
rector of the Equitable Life Assurance
society, was the first witness called
before the executive legislative inyes-
LEGATION committee today.
Mr.. Schiff said ne had become a lii
rector of the Equitable society in the
latter part of 1898 or the first part of
1894 His firm had dealings with the
society for quarter of a century prior
to that time.
The question of the prOpriety of the
firm of Kuhn, Loeb & CO., dealing
with the Equitable society, occurred
to him and he took counsel on the
matter and was advised that there was
nothing to prevent his firm from prop
erly maintaining such relations. He
was director of the society four or
i've years before he became a member
of any committee of it. He was made
u member of the finance committee.

Accusation Against Hyde.

In the matter of the James II. Hyde
and Associates" syndicate Mr.. Schilf
holly accused Mr.. Hyde of trying TO
shield himself. He said the position of
a director in the Equitable was that of
a negligible quantity and that the di-
reetors were mere fgureheads. He said
further that he had never asked any
favors OF the Equitable society. Il
have granted many favOrs," he said. I
have not done, as director of the
Equitable. any wrong OF commission.
may have done of omission. IL is IA
case of hindsight and not one of fore
sight But my conscience frees me of
my bond. / have been as good "a di-

Useless Directors.

Mr., Schih stated that the position
of director in large corporations in
New York, and he presumed elsewhere,
was neglible quantity. If any ex-
ecutive officer wished to conceal any
thing from the directors he could easily
do so and the director, under prevail
ing conditions, is pOWerleSs to prevent
amy iIregulauty.
Mr.. Schif testified that the Equitable
was in the HANDS of the executive Off
GERS and he had no way of knowing
more than these executive officers
chose TO tell him.
He refused an election 10 the eXeCu-
tive committee because of the relations
OF his firm TO the society. This, the
witness said. was because he thought
IL would be improper for him as d mem

Jacob schiffs Testimony.

Not the important development
of the day was the appearance on the
stand of Jacob II. Schif, head of the
banking firm OF Kuhn, Loeb < Co. Mr.
Schin was the first witness of the day
and he remained on the stand until ,
>o'clock, Mr.. Schif had been waiting in
the committees session chamber for u
day and "a half, being under subpoena
and when the usual time for recess
arrived Mr. SChif desired to proceed
as he had an engagement for the aft
ernoOn. Mr.. Hughes explained the sit
uation 10 the committee and it was
agreed 10 continue until Mr.. SChiff had
concluded his testimony

presented vouchers for money and paid

Jewelry Repairing
 Department,

We invited notice of our customers two weeks ago, to the Jewelry Repair ing Department. This Department, as we stated then, was for the con venience of the public, in order that you might have your watch and jew elry repairing done at a nominal cost less than it can be done by exclusive jewellers.
 This Department in the past two weeks has forged ahead of our ex- pectations and is now doing business that would do credit to much longer established department. As soon as the work overruns the present force the public may be assured that the force will be increased and the same promptness will be given orders, as we have given in the start. By fall we may be able to triple this department.
