BG SPRING SH0W.
Parker Carnival Attractions VIII Be
Brought to Topeka.

Inc first week in May in Topeka this
year Isl TO be given over to a spring
festival and a street fair by the Parker
Amusement company.
This was decided upon today ait a
meeting. of the executive committee of
the observation-disclosures com
n5ittee Of the Commercial club. The com
mittee met behind closed doors TO take
action en- the matter. No particular ex-
cHse was offered for such procedure
save that some other matters also need
ed attention which were not the general
public's business. It was the first meet
irg which any Commercial club com
nlittee ever held in executive session,
when II was considering boom stuff. -
Il is to he hoped that it will be the last.
A. r. Kennedy, a. representative OF
the Parker Amusement company came
to town yesterday and succeeded in
getting the meeting called. He preached
tie idea Of holding a street fair and
spring carnival during the first week in
May. 1t was his idea that the charitable
oEganizat ions. the Elks or the karnival
KNIGHTS could take hold of the scheme
and father it.
The committee decided to report IA
vorably on the matter tothe advertisement
entertainment committee, which in full
session, viii determine upon more per
fected plans and VIII in turn submit
them to the club at its regular meeting
next week.
The Spring Festival viii be held but
a absolutely no plans are as yet outlined
What Mr. kennedy had to suggest on
the subject, could not be found out
because the meeting was behind closed
doors. Customarily the originator OF
the scheme gives out all of his IDEAS,
and from these other people take their
cues and the whole swings into tang1-
bic shape. But this show seems to be
starting off on a different basis. When
the Entertainments Reimbursement com
n=ittee proper meets, Mr.. Kennedy Will
probably give out his ideas again, and
the reporters will be granted the pr1Vl-
Iege of hearing them and writing q lot
Of boom reports.
The Parker show was in Topeka two
years ago. and camped ont on the state
house yard. A big stockade was built
around one-half of the lot, and inside
Of this enclosure the entertainment was
pat on. A big fuss was started over the
use of the grounds for this purpose. The
Parker show is now advertising on It's
big posters, a view of their show on the
state house yard with this inscription
III two foot type, "The Only Amuse-
naent Company in America Ever Grant
ed This Privilege"
But the Parker shows are good. They
are clean and wholesome and are al
right for anyone to attend. Ihe Gay OF
the snake charming Oriental dancer IS
past and all of its repulSiVe counter
parts as we'll. Parker has gathered to-
gsther as splendid a collection OF enter
fainmenfs as have ever been put out III
a show of this kind. The committee
made no mistake in securing him.
The committee also engaged Mar
shalTs band to make the trip to Cnaga
Oh next Monday in the special train
over the Union Pacific. The train VIII
leave at 9 O'Clock in the morning ana
return at in the evening. About 200
members of the club will attend.

rect examination and then was turned
oNer &c District Attorney Morrison, for

Did Mr.. Garfields report show any
OF che profits and losses Of your COM
panEH. CThe Fairbank company.
NO It did not"
when you first met Commissioner
Garfield why did you not tell him at
once that be could examine your books
You knew he had the power to compel
st."
II wanted to consult my attorney and
report the interview to him
why were you unwilling to turn the
books over2"
Il did not want 30 do it until I had
90 do 1T. There was an Injunction
against us"
This reply OF the witness referred to

SWIFT PINNED DOWN.
The Packer Is Subjected to a Rigid
Cross Examination.

Chicago, Feb. Edward Swift. of
Swift & Co.. resumed the witness stand
in the packers case today, and was
examined regarding some small de-
tails, by his attorneys before the cross
examination by District Attorney Nor
rlson was commenced. Mr. Morrison,
by tedious processes, brought out the
following facts
That government representatives
made an Investigation of the Swift
books and papers and that the Swift
company furnished information con-
corning private cars owned by the Ma
tional Packing company Mr.. Swift
told Mr.. Durand the number of cars
the Swift company ran. Witness re-
ferred Mr.. Durand to Mr. Swift's
counsel for further Information at that
time. Mr.. Swift seemed nervous under
the rapid fire of questions, but spoke
quietly.
Mr.. Morrison presented one of the
Garfield acquisitions and asked Mr.
Swift if it was not the substance of an
agreement between Mr.. Durand and
Swift & Co. The witness said:
Il never made an agreement with Mr..
Durand. We yielded everything he
wanted"
Did you furnish the information
about the National Packing company?"
4 am not an officer of the National
Packing company. 1t can take care of
itself"
Did you ever give Mr.. Durand any
Information about your holdings in the
National Packing company"
Il would not say did or did not
The district attorney asked:
Nov. Mr.. Swift. honor bright, did
not Mr. Garfield submit the proofs
of his reports to you to see if you were
satisfied %
Mr. Hynes objected and District At
torney Morrison said:
1.-The theory of the government is
that there was an understanding that
the matter should not be published
until the packers were satisfied with
the report We will show that Mr.
Garfield came back with d typewriter
copy of his report which had not yet
We're ready an danxious to have this
report go to the publisher"
The district attorney then asked the
witness if he was satisfied with the
Garfield report and Mr.. Swift said he
