the designations of the entire pa

conveyed the intimation that fall

step down and out. Considering
that all the parish boards were ap-

fled at the Hapgood criminal libel trial
today that he had borrowed nearly two
hundred thousand lollars from ]. p.

PICTURES OUR REPUBLIC
A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE
PRESIDENT ELIOT OF HARVARD
DELIVERS ADDRESS
Declares Great Keynote of the Present
Century Is Democracy in All
Thines-Reverenc Not lncom-
patibIe With This
By Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 22.-Pres-
dent Eliot of Harvard pictured a
mighty American republic n hundred
years hence in an address yesterday be-
fore the Prospect union on Reverence
Consistent With Genuine Democracy"
He spoke in part as follows:
THE great movement of the world
today is toward democracy. The great
keynote OF the present century, the
century that we are just entering upon,
will be democracy in all thinks. One
hundred years from now the section
of our country which is now for the
most part wilderness, will be beyond
any present conception and this great
nation will be the most democratic that
the world has ever known.
1.-THE progress of democracy will be
the great future of the advance of civil
ization in the present century. If this
Is to be sound, the character of our
people must be as sound as their pro-
ficiency in the arts, in commerce, in
government.
Though critics of democracy say
that democracy has destroyed some of
their finer characteristics of the older
countries, such as reverence of children
toward parents, pupils toward teachers,
the people toward their rulers, there Is
in all relations more genuine rela-
ton than formerly No nation in the
world has such reverence for women as
have the men of the great republic.
Our reverence for symbols has dimin-
ished, but not for the ideals which
these material signs of religion and
love of country stand for"

CHICAGO HAS HARD TIME
Telegraph and Railroad Communica-
ton Interrupted by the Storm
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-After a partial
paralysis by sleet today. which delayed
wire communication and street car and
railroad traffic for several hours, Chi
cago tonight recovered it's normal con-
ditions of transportation and communi-
cation.
Tonight the street car systems had
resumed regular service. All day long
every available man that could be had
was put to work to clear away the ice
which formed on everything exposed
to the elements. This evening the sleet
storm subsided and was followed by
q fall of snow. Little difficulty was
experienced in disposing of the snow
and all car lines were running on
schedule time.
Snow and cold weather are predicted
for tomorrow, but 1t is forecasted that
the worst of the storm has passed.
A severe storm of alternating rain,
sleet and snow which commenced just
before midnight last night caused one
of the worst tie-ups this city has
known in many years. But few tele-
graph wires were working out of the
city today in any direction, this morn
ing there being no communication
whatever with the east. Inside the city
telephone communication was badly
crippled and the electric lines of street
cars were almost out of commission.
The elevated roads were still greater
sufferers.
Many passengers on the Aurora line
and the Chicago Electric were COM
PEELED to remain all night in the depot
when the road ceased operations on
account of the storm.
Large commission brokerage houses
which ordinarily use from twenty to
thirty wires leading to all parts Of the
country. were unable to send a mes
sage in any direction and were with
out advices from other parts of the
country.
The railways are in a better condition
to contend against the sleet and snow
than the electric lines, which were
at times during the day in desperate
straits. On some of the lines running
east from here hundreds of miles Of
railroad wires were down and the dis
patchers were having a trying time in
moving trains.
Great trouble was experienced today
by people who use electric lines in the
outlying sections of the city to reach
their places of employment.
The great steel mills in South Chicago
were barely able to muster enough
men to operate all of their departments
early in the day and for some time
some of them were closed down.

kERONAUT FALLS 300 FEET
Escape From Death in
Florida
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Ormond, Fla, says:
Charles Hamilton, an aeronaut, dropped
300 feet with his airship yesterday and
escaped fatal injuries by the narrowest
of margins. Hamilton when his air.
ship dropped was pitched forward upon
the board walk. He struck heavily ana
lost consciousness. Later it was found
that no bones were broken.
Although Hamilton was in the air
not more than three minutes, his flight
was regarded as a good deal of a sue
cess. The collapse was due to the in
sufficient power of a sixty horsepower
touring car which was used to do the
towing. The combined weight of aero
plane, man and 800 feet of rope was
sufficient to cause the car to slip back
ward slightly when the chauffeur tried
to increase his speed. The areoplane
rode like a bird with the first pull,
the air. When the speed of the tow
began to lessen the airship began to
wobble like a kite on a string and
Hamilton, by mistake, dropped his
cap, which was to have been the sig
nal to the tow driver to stop.
The aeroplane at once began to fiut-
ter downward with increasing speed
until the rope caught on top of flag
pole. Then a 1orner of the aerostat
machine struck the bath house plaza
roof and wedged between the building
and the flagpole.

WOULD INVOLVE
THE PRESIDENT
LETTER INTRODUCED IN THE
PACKERS TRIAL
Defendants VIII Endeavor to Use a
Portion Of This Misslve as Evil
dence in Proof Of Their
Contention
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Presldent Roose-
welt has been made the central figure
around which revolves the entire case
involving the pleas of the indicted
packers for immunity from further
prosecution of the government on
charges of being in conspiracy to COM
bine in restraint of trade and COM
merce
Attorney w. j. Hines for the de-
PENDANTS, in his opening statement to-
day for the jury hearing the immunity
pleas, read an excerpt from a letter
written by President Roosevelt to
Attorney General Moody in the Atchi-
son, Topeka G. Santa Fe rebate case,
which was part of the communica-
tions between the two men called for
by congress some time ago. This let
ter Is taken by the packers as an adj
mission by the president that the de-
partment Of commerce and labor, and
the department of justice worked to-
gether to indict the packers, support
ing the contention OF the packers upon
which they rest for immunity
The defendant packers will endeavor
to interject the letter into the case as
evidence, Just as if the president were
here and testified concerning 1t.
The letter was written by the presi-
dent June 12, 1905, at the time the
federal grand jury was sitting in chi
cago on the beef inquiry. That part
of the letter read by Attorney Hines
and which will be introduced by the
defendants if possible as evidence
from President Roosevelt follows:
with my approved the department
of Justice with the assistance Of the
department of commerce and labor has
for some months been endeavoring to
find out whether or not they can OBJ
tain legal evidence of such wilful and
deliberate violations of the injunc-
ton by any individual. If the grand
Jury now sitting in Chicago finds an
indictment against any individual con-
nected with the packing corporations
it will be because in their Judgment
such evidmence of the violation of the
injunction has been laid before Them
The letter is purported to be signed
by President Roosevelt and is taken by
the defendants as proof of their con-
tentions.
"That letter is public document,
and we will introduce 1t as evidence in
this case" said Attorney John S. Mil
ler, one of the packers attorneys.
"If the government contests it we
can, Of course, call for the original
copy"
The reading of excerpts from the let
ter came as a climax to the opening
statement or the derendantS late To-Day:
Attorney John c. Gown, who talked
for the Cudahy interests in the MORN
ing, asserted that Edward A. Cudahy,
the Omaha packer, was directly threat
ened with Imprisonment by Commits
sioner Garfield II Mr.. Cudahy refused
to give the commissioner information
regarding the packing business. Mr..
Gown argued that the securing of evil
