/ POINT DECIDED AGAINST THE
BEEF TRUST.
MEAT MEN FIGHT HARD
Raise Technical Points in Attempt to
Circumvent Indictments ny Grand
Jury, Charging Them With Con-
spiracy in Restraint of Trade
Federal Judge Acts Promptly.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Victory was
scored yesterday by United States
District Attorney Morrison in his
struggle to bring to a successful finish
the prosecution of the meat packers
During the argument against the de-
murrer filed by Attorney Morrison
against the plea in abatement filed
some time ago by the defending attor-
neys, contesting the Indictment which
charges the packers and their asso-
ciates with conspiracy in restraint of
trade, the question of the right Of the
packers to appear in court at the time
of the impanelling of the fe1eral
grand jury to challenge jurors as they
were impanelled was raised and Judge
Humphreys decided in favor OF the
government.
In passing on this question, which
was one of the main points in the
plea in abatement filed by the pack
ers, Judge Humphreys said:
Il considered this question fully
at the time the jury was impaneled
and | came to the conclusion that
I there was no duty resting upon the
court or any of it's officers to ask the
proposed defendants to come in and
save any rights they may have had,
by objecting to the array of grand
jurors. We will not spend any
time on this question, as it has been
settled as far as this court is con-
cerned'
Objection by the defendants to the
manner in which the jury was drawn
was then taken up and at the time of
adjournment Attorney Roscntnal was
reading authorities supporting his
contention that the jury was drawn
from part of the district without
proper order of court. The jury was
drawn from the eastern district of
the northern division of the state
and it is contended by the defend
ants that the court ordered the jury
drawn from the body" Of the district,
meaning both eastern and western di-
visions.
The hearing will be resumed to day.

Charged With Kidnapping.

KaukaUna, Wis, Sept. 28.-Wenzel
E. Cabot, about 80 years of age. has
been arrested at Green Bay on the
charge of Kidnapping Michael Nc
Carly, aged 40 years, who owns a
farm near this city and who myster,
iously disappeared nearly two weeks
ago, About a week ago, it is alleged,
Cabot appeared at the McCarty farm
and, claiming to be fully empowered,
began to sell off the farm stock and
tools, and was also taking steps to sell
the real estate, when Charles Nc
Carly, the father of the missing man,
appeared. Much speculation and curl,
osity is rife here over the remarkable
disappearance of McCarty, and the ar
rest of Cabot. Cabot had, it is
charged, sold twenty head of the stock
and large amount of the farm tools,
and his endeavor to sell the real es-
tate aroused suspicion and his arrest
followed. The appearance Of Mr.. Nc
Carly is said to be likely to follow in
order to clear Cabot from his strange
predicament.

New York, Sept. Yesterdays
session Of the legislative committee in
vestigating insurance methods was
given over to the matter of the syndi-
cate transactions of the Equitable Life
Assurance society. Henry r. Win
throp, assistant secretary and financial
manager of the society, was on the
witness stand, and many of his state
ments were accompanied by typewrit-
ten documents giving various transac-
tons in detail. It was brought out
that in one of these syndicates Sena-
tor Depew was a participant to the ex-
tent of 100000 and the senator was
requested to appear before the COM
mittee. Winthrop said that in Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington and
Long Island, four syndicates' man
aged by Kuhn Loeb & Co., there were
two participations, one of 100000 and
another of 100000. The society re-

while j. w. Alexander, J. H. Hyde, G..
H. Squire and w. H. Mcintyre divid-
ed the profits of the 100000. The

money been returned, and when asked
if the matter had been called to the

Note of Alarm in Russia.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 28.-The Novoe

tone, expressing dissatisfaction with
the treaty, which it says is directed
against all powers having political in,
terests in Asia, and especially against
Russia, which has the most extensive
interests there. The terms of the
treaty, it says, are very broad and may
be interpreted by the signatories as
they desire, while the article concern
ing the Indian frontier is elastic
enough to fit Great Britain's elastic
Indian policy.

WHITES ENEMIES

ST.. Petersburg, Sept. 28.-M. White

progress through France and Ger
many have been watched from here
with interest, but none the less it has
added to the jealousy toward him in
certain quarters, which was more or
less freely manifested after his sue
cess at Portsmouth. The fact that
he went to see Emperor William Tues
day enabled his enemies to seize
the opportunity to characterize him as
a self7advertiser. Emperor Williams
gift to White of the order of the black
eagle has had a gratifying effect here
much more SO than when his majesty
conferred the order ON General Stoes.

an evidence of the satisfactory rela.
tons existing between the two EN-.
pires, which had grown closer during
the war.

JUVENILE COURT
LAW KNOCKED OUT

Detroit, Sept. 28.-The Wayne
county circuit court, judges sitting
banc, yesterday decided that the
aw passed by the last Michigan leg
ls.ature providing for separate courts
for juvenile Offenders is null and void.
The court held that the new law was
indefinite and uncertain and was I'M
constitutional in providing six Jurors
instead of II, and in repeating the old
laws relating to murder and other OF
the more serious crimes, while the
new law did not sufficiently define
how the juveniles charged with these
crimes were to be treated. The new
law referred to girls under II and
boys under 16 years of age. The mat
ter will in all probability be carried
to the supreme court.

UNITED STATES LOOKS WITH APPROVAL ON
ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY OF ALLIANCE

Washington, Sept. 28.-The state
department mas been furnished with
a copy of the Ang.o-Japanese treaty.
Officials decline to discuss for publ
cation a matter such as this, which
concerns other nations. 1t was evil
dent that the provisions of the treaty
met with the thorough approval of
the department, as the main purpose
of the convention, in the official view,
seems to be to give concrete form to
the ideas relative to the 'open door"
and the integrity of the Chinese ter
ritory, for which the late Secretary
Hay for five years sought to secure
international approval. The treaty,
therefore, is we'll received as giving
vital force to those ideas by making
it the business of at least two great
powers to see that the other nations
of the world respect them.

London, Sept. 28.-According to the
correspondent OF the Standard at To
iiO, Marquis Ito, discussing the new

''The time will soon come when the

significance of this agreement. The
peace, now happily restored by our
treaty with Russia and so strongly
guaranteed by this new alliance, will
usher in new period of phenomenal
commercial and economic develop
ment, as well as advanced civilization
