DURAND ON STAND.
No Change Made In Testimony On
Cross-Examination

Chicago, March 2.-The direct examina-
ton of Special Agent Durand in the pack
ers' case was finished today, and the
cross-examination commenced. The lat
ter occupied the greater part of the aft
ernoon, but no change was made in his
direct evidence. Early in the day the
attorneys in the case engaged in sharp
argument regarding the propriety of adj
hitting as evidence in the case the
names of 300 witnesses, which the lawyers
for the packers contended had been
turned over to the department of justice
by Commissioner Garfield.
District Attorney Morrison fought hard
against a ruling of the court directing
him to furnish the names and when 1t
was finally made informed the court that
he did not have them. The court then
issued another order directing that the
government make a search for the names
and for all correspondence relating to
them

DALLAS IS TOHAVE
CANNING FACTORY
VIII Have a Daily Capacity of
10000 Cans
IS LOCATED AT ORRVILLE
Remarkable Interest Is Being Taken
In the Project by Negro Farm
ers-other News of
Dallas.

Selma, March 2-(Special)-A last
Dallas county is to have canning fac
tory. Yesterday at Orrville, fourteen
miles from Selma, was organized COM
pany known as the Orrville Canning
company. The capital stock is 5000 and
is owned by eighteen citizens of that
community.
A lot has been secured alongside the
railroad and work will commence at once
on the buildings and the installation of
the machinery. A competent man from
Chicago is on his way to Orrville today
to superintend the erection of the factory.
The company was organized through the
efforts of P. Fleming, who has been in
this city for several weeks and who
urged the citizens of Selma to organize
a similar company. The capacity of the
plant will be 10000 cans per day and all
arrangements have been made for the
raising of the fruit and vegetables to
supply the plant.
A remarkable feature is the interest that
has been displayed by the negro farmers
around Orrville, many of whom have
come into the city and asked If they
could plant an acre or so in tomatoes
and other vegetables to sell to the fac
tory. There are several fine orchards
around Orrville and others will be planted.
The factory will can every thing but
corn, the latter not proving as profit
able as other vegetables and fruit and
the machinery being more expensive.
The following officers were elected by
the stockholders:
r. B. Hare, president.
j. II. Ellis, vice president.
G. w. Burt. manager.
Hal Marshall secretary.
j. e. Dunaway, treasurer.

Chicago, March 2.-Commissioner of
Public Works Joseph Medll Patterson
has rendered his resignation to Mayor
Edward F. Dunno. The resignation was
sent by Mr.. Patterson to Mayor Dunno
Wednesday. Nothing was publicly known
of the resignation, however, until today.
when a copy mailed by Mr. Patterson at
Washington, D. c., was received by the
city press association here
The letter was written by Mr. Patter-
son to Mayor Dunno in which he for
warded his resignation, says in part:
ut was through a common belief in
the cause of municipal ownership of the
municipal utilities that | first became ac-
quainted with you and in this letter of
resignation l desire to express just how
my views on this subject have changed.
They have not diminished. They have
enlarged | used to believe that many
of the ills under which the nation suf-
fers and by which it was threatened
would be prevented or avoided by the
general Inauguration Of public ownership
of public utilities. But my experience in
the department of public works has con-
WINGED me that this policy would not
be one-fourth of the way sufficient"

EquaI Political opportunIty.

1.-THE universal ballot gives every male
citizen an equal political opportunity
The common ownership of all the produc-
lions and distribution would give every
body an equal chance at music. art, sport
study. recreation travel, self-respect and
the respect of others. I for one cannot
see why those things should be eoncen-
trated mores and more in the hands of
a few. Two Hundred years ago appropria-
ton for equal political opportunity would
have seemed more absurd than today
seems the preparation for equal oppor-
tunity in all things on this earth for
which men strive. BY distributing money
evenly I do not mean to say that all
the money in the world should be cut
up In equal bits and that everybody
should get a bit On the contrary | be-
leve that the ownership from which
money springs should be invested in
the whole community. In other words,

Hard to Get New business.

Some interesting reasons are given to-
day as to why r. L. Foreman gave up
his general agency here of the Equitable
Life Insurance society. The company, it
Is said, will not, for the present at least,
appoint a new general agent and that
1t will be the policy of the large COM
panies, particularly those which were re-
Gently under investigation In New York,
not to push the matter of new business
actively, perhaps for some time to come
Mr. Foreman stated that he did not
leave the company as the result of any
differences with the officials, but purely
as a matter of business. While policy
holders in the Equitable are not gener-
ally allowing their policies to lapse or
giving them up, he said he had found it
difficult matter of late to secure new
business for the company, as people
are DESTROYS of waiting until the full re-
suits of the investigation are known and
things are established once more on a
firm basis. On this account there will
be no general agent appointed, and the
Equitable's office here will be in charge
of Alexander irwin, cashier, and his as
sistant, j. j. Satzky
AS result of these circumstances Mr.
Foreman resigned the general agency of
the Equitable for the purpose of Join
ing forces with Clarence Angler In the

fit of New Jersey
