INDICTED PACKERS FILE PLEA
Charge That Grand Jury Was Drawn in
Secret.

Chicago. Sept. 2O.-A plea in abatement was
fled to-day by the packers indicted in the
United States District Court on a charge of
conspiracy to create a monopoly in the meat
industry The plea is not supported by afida-
Wits. 1t is signed by the defendants and their
attorneys
1t is said that the main question to be raised
when the plea is finally taken before judge
will be concerning the secrecy surrounding the
drawing of the grand jury. 1t Is argued that
grand jury under the Constitution and laws
must be drawn in public. This is construed to
mean that any person who feels that he may
be investigated by the jury may be present and
see the names drawn from the box and know
who the persons are. This is declared TO be the
constitutional right of every citizen, and was so
contemplated by Congress when the act was
passed. II is charged in the plea that the date
ana hour or the drawing We're kept secret and
the packers were unable to learn who had been
selected 10 sit on their case although the gov
eminent had an opportunity TO investigate each
man whose name had been drawn

PRAYERS FOR SALOONS.
-Four Yonkers Churches Hold Meet
ings on Lac Enforcement.

At least four Yonlzers churches held prayer
meetings last night, at which prayers were Of
fered for the enlightenment of those who main
tain open saloons and for those who are respor-
sible for their maintenance" Discussions fol-
lowed, in which many of those present charged
that the city officials were responsible for the
saloons being open Sundays, and the gen
eral idea was expressed that only those who
would strictly enforce the law should be placed
in office
The movement for the general prayer meeting
was started by the Rev. Charles L. Walworth,
pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church,
of which Mayor John E. Andrus is a member.
1t was at this church that the speakers were
loudest in denouncing the city government and
demanding reforms. John c. Havemeyer, John
s Kennedy and DR.. =. A. Cook were the prin-
cipal speakers. They thought it was not right
to ostracize the saloon man, but that he should
be subjected to moral SuasiOn. As to the city
officials. it declared that they were elected
to represent the people, and that they must be
required to enforce the law strictly.
At the Central Methodist Episcopal Church
the Rev. DR.. Hartsook led the discussion along
the line of the question If the Christian were
placed in the same position as the city othcials'
would he enforce the law one-half as well?'

POSTMASTER GOT "CoME-oN" LETTER.
Green Goods Transaction Nipped in Bud
Two Arrested Charged with Swindle.

Lack of discretion in the selection of their in

to be old confidence men, in cells in Police Head
quarters last night.
1t was the old confidence game, cleverly arranged
and planned the police say. but nipped in the
bud through oversight the part of the per-
petrators. Instead of sending one of the alluring
letters to a jay it sent to none other than
R. H. Jarrett. business man of Dilsboro n. c.,
and also postmaster of the town The senders evi-
denty did not know of Mr.. Iarrett's standing in
his community o his connection with the Post
