PACKERS TRIAL
IS RESUMED

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The trial
against the packers, corporations
and lawyers, indicted on charges
of combining in restraint of COM
merce, accepting rebates and inter-
fering with government witnesses
was taken up before Judge Hum
phrey in the United States district
court today. The courtroom was
crowded with lawyers, officials of
various packing concerns and dis
interested spectators and several
hundred persons could not gain adj
mission to the courtrooms owing to
lack of room. The action of the
off Gals of the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger Packing company, who
pleaded guilty last Thursday and
paid fines aggregating $4,000, had
aroused great interest and led
many to expect that other indicted
officials would follow the example
of the officials of the Schwarzschild
e Sulzberger Packing company. If
they had any such intentions, they
did not show it today.
Those who are we'll informed do
not expect that there will be any
more pleas of guilty. In fact, the
district attorney has been practi-
cally notified that the other indict-
ed packers and officials intend to
fight every step of the government
to the very last and would seek
every delay they could possibly OBJ
tain. Should they fail in the plea
Of abatement they will demand a

STORY OF HOW BEN HUR

II has often been asked how such
an apparently unwieldy organiza-
ton as Ben HEr" can be handled
on the road so easily as it appar-
emily is. When the attraction first
left New York city for the road it
was provided with two full sets of
scenery and costumes; in reality
two full productions. While the
company was playing in New York
the scenery for Philadelphia was
being set up in that city, only the
acting company being moved over
to the latter city, while the scenery
they had used In New York was
taken TO Boston, the next stand the
company intended to make after
Philadelphia. But the projectors
soon found that this would not do
as 1t necessitated closing a theater

every civilized country. A special
building with a large hall for the

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. q
Since the ending of the war in the
far east. the Emperor Nicholas has
become changed man. The diplo-
matte victory gained by Russia at
the peace conference has put new
heart into him. Where six months
ago the lord of Peterhof was a de
spondent, invertebrate being, incap-
able of action and in despair, he is
now energetic, full of life, and a
constant surprise to his encourage.
Peace has made him brave.
The car takes all the credit to
himself for outstanding Japan s
demands for an indemnity. While
most of his advisers, including NJ,
White, urged a compromise, and
President Roosevelt Joined in the
pressure being eXerted on his ma
sesty, Nicholas stood firm. That
stubborn obstinacy of his, which
forced the war with Japan and
which sent the Baltic fleet to its
destruction, the car again brought
into play and. luck being at last
with him, he won.
Before the peace of Portsmouth
the cars irresolution had become
q disease with him During the dis
orders in st. Petersburg, Nj. Witte
arrived at Tsarskoe-Selo one after
noon and said to the emperor;
There are thousands of students
gathering in the streets. 1t is i'm

Your majesty must not employ
force against these poor people.
You should grant concessions to
them"

impossible to go on like this. We
must grant concessions" was the
cars reply.
