Kansas City, July Final steps
In the United States district court
here were taken when appeal bonds
were perfected ON behalf of the seven
convicted individuals and concerns
and when bills Of exception were filed
for the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy company. George L. Thomas
the New York broker and his chief
clerk, L. B. Taggart.
! Bills OF exception previously were
presented in the cases OF the Armour,
Swift, Cudahy, and Nelson Morris
Packing company. The next step will
be the filing of the bills of exceptions
with the court Of appeals, which will
be done at st. Louis, Aug. 81.
In the case of the Burlington rail-
road the exceptions taken apply par.
ticularly to the allegations of the de-
PENDANT that the interstate commerce
act does not apply to existing rates,
which question is involved, and this
district court lacks jurisdiction. Par.
ticular exception is taken to part, OF
charge to the jury made by Judge
Smith Mcpherson, who presided at the
trials.
The exceptions in the cases OF
Thomas and Taggart are based prin
cipally on the assertion that it was
not shown that defendants were party
to the alleged conspiracy entered into
,~,skh
City shoe merchant, to violate the
Elkins act by securing rebates on ship
ments from New York, and that nc
overt act was committed. The indict
ment charged Thomas and Taggart
with conspiracy, alleging seven Overt
Acts.

ONE CENT AT ALL PLACES OF
SALE.
MORNING, JULY 3, 1906.

The Palladium is glad to know that
Postmaster Spekenhier will make a
strenuous endeavor to add to the
force of letter carriers. There are sea-
sons of the year when the present
force of carriers is absolutely una
blue to give all the deliveries SEIZED
uled because of the heavy mail. 1t is
not a new condition that exists but
for some cause the postoffice author
tiles at Washington, have apparently
not had the matter presented to them
property or they would not have de-
clined to give relief. Postmaster Spe-
kenhier probably realizes in the two
days he has been m charge that to
facilitate the business Of the Office an
addition to his carrier force is abso-
lutely necessary. And realizing this
he will keep pounding away until
he gets what he needs to give the
public what 1t deserves.

Tomorrow is the. birthday anniver-
saryiof the Nation. In Richmond. so
far as the Palladium Is able to ascer-
tain,y there will be total absence of
any sort. of demonstration that might
be called appropriate to the day.
There will be picnics by the hundred
ands there will be athletic sports of
Ionessort and another. but in the way
of giving some actual recognition to
the ones holiday OF the entire year
that in any way bears relation to the
nations birth, there will be nothing
Some people scott at, the simple
Fourth of July observances which are
held in the smaller towns. which in
the main are composed of patriotic
music by a country band and dec
lamation by the leading citizen" but
such observances fill a recognized
place on the day. The reading of the
Declaration of Independence is de-
clared to be a chestnut in these mod
ern days, but the chances are that
not one person in ten. picked at ran
dom, can give off hand the text of
that famous document. or name any
of the patriots who signed it.
