Regarding the question as one of the
most important ever before congress-,
Mr.. Townsend advocated the bill as
the correct remedy. for the evils which
ing the protests of the roads, greater
prosperity would come to them under
it's provisions than otherwise. To sub

tremendous strides of year in the
transportation business, and this in the
face of the legislation which the last
congress initiated, and which the pres

more strenuous form.

Like the bill of last year, which bore
Mr.. Townsend s name, he said the pres

would accept, yet the present bin con-
fers wider powers and extends over
every facility Of transportation. How
ever, the present bill he believed not
only fully within the constitutional
powers Of congress, but was simply an
expression Of the plain duty of congress

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Charles G.. Dawes,

day in the trial which is to determine
whether the packers are entitled to
immunity. He told Of introducing
Commissioner Garfield to Attorney

Commissioner Garfield, whom I
have known for years, called at my
office and said that he only wanted tho
information from the. packers in order
to enable him to make a full and com

them they could rely on what Garfield

Louis G. Krauthoff again took the

evening and Attorney Miller, for the
packers, resumed the direct examina-

The witness was asked many ques-
lions regarding his opinion Of the law
under which the Immunity is claimed
by the packers, with the result that the
district attorney objected to almost
every question that was asked and
many arguments between counsel fol-
lowed.
After many objections had been dis
posed of by the court, Attorney Miller
said:

It seems from the counts given by

the guiana Coz 6f the southern part OF
Patagonia must resort when the hour
Of. death approaches to y certain spot
in q certain river bed which has be-
come 4 perfect mausoleum Of their

Mr.. Hudson notes that 1t IL only the
guanaco Of the southern extremity Of
the South American continent that has
this habit. a habit restricted to de-
scendants Of forefathers who lived IN
nm extremely rigorous climate. Mr.,
Hudson eonjectures that among these
forefathers the instinct grew up when
the stress of hunger and cold was very
dire OF resorting to this sheltered place
In the river bed, where they might find
warmth in their own closely collected
numbers and possibly food. BY a
continual survival Of those which be-
took themselves to this place Of, refuge
the race instinct would be formed Of
resorting thither when they felt the
tides Of life running low. This feeling,
Mr.. Hudson argues, their descendants
are likely to experience now at the APP
proach Of the hour Of death.
But now 1t is no longer just pass
ing spell OF extreme cold that leads
them thither. The death call has come,
and they must lay their bones I'M the
common mortuary. It 10 not "in order
to die that the gpanaco seeks this
place; It would be nearer the truth II
Wa were to say it was sin order to
live .

that, It Ia in mere obedience to the In
