PACKERS ESCAPE LAW.
Judge Gives Immunity to individuals
But Not Corporations.

Chicago, March 22.-All of the pack
ers who were indicted by the Federal
grand jury last summer upon charges
of being in conspiracy in restraint Of
trade and commerce were today granted
immunity from criminal prosecution
under the indictment. While the in
dividuals are to 60 free, the indict.
ments found against the corporations,
of which some of the indicted indi-
viduals are members and others are
employees, are to stand.
The decision to the above effect was
handed down this afternoon by Judge
]. Otis Humphrey, in the United
States District Court.
Immediately following the dismissal
of the jury, District Attorney Morrison
raised the question of the date for the
trial of the corporations. He asked
that the case be set for trial and that
it commence within two weeks. This
met with a storm of protest from the
attorneys for the packers, who insisted
that they would be unable to prepare
for the case before the fall of this year,
pleading the number of witnesses whom
it would be necessary to bring to Chi
cago, the strain of the present trial,
and various other reasons. After some
discussion, Judge Humphrey directed
that the lawyers agree among them.
selves upon date and notify him Of
their decision next week.

CANNOT CONTROL
LIFE INSURANCE
Federal Legislation Out of the Power
Of Congress.
Would Tend to Impair Police Powers
Of the States House Committee
Unanimous That Supreme Court
Decisions Are All Against Federal
Control.

Washington, March 22.-That there
is no constitutional authority for Fed
eral control of insurance or other state
corporations other than railroads is to
be the conclusion reported to the house
by the judiciary committee. The re.
port has been drafted by Chairman
Jenkins, of the committee, and is now
in the hands of members of the COM
mittee for their perusal. An unofficial
poll OF the members indicates that with
practically no exceptions they concur
in the correctness of this conclusion.
The report collates all the important
court decisions on the matter involved,
treats each exhaustively and reduces
the whole problem to these two prin-
ciples:
First - The Supreme court of the
United States has declared and has
never been shaken or weakened in
maintaining, first, that insurance is not
commerce, and second, that congress
cannot impair the police powers of the
states.
Second - The advocates of Federal
regulation concede, according to the re-
port, that insurance is not commerce.
The report sets forth section of ar.
ticle l of the constitution as conferring
the only power possessed by congress
to regulate commerce.

CANNOT ExPEl SMOOT.
Two-Thirds Majority Of Senate is Re-
quired, and is impossible.

W. nVuS "dJoT'ty VI 0cHdte 10 ne
quired, and is Impossible.
Washington, March 2S. - II seems
certain, in the light Of recent develop.
ments, that the campaign against Sen.
ator Reed Smoot, of Utah, will fail.
Mr.. Smoot's enemies have been hoping
to oust him by majority vote of the
senate, but senators who have given at.
tention to his case find that the consti.
tuition stipulates that no senator shall
be deprived of his seat except by two
thirds vote of the senate.
The anti-Smoot senators have been
taking the position that the protests
were filed against Mr.. Smoot before he
took his seat, and, inasmuch as he was
seated under protest, the majority vote
can be applied, since it takes only a
majority to exclude a senator elect.
But this view is not generally concur
red in by senator's. Mr.. Smoot was
seated, and, having been permitted to
take his seat, the only way to get him
out is to expel him, and this requires
a two-thirds vote.
1t seems absolutely certain that two
thirds of the senate is not in favor of
the Mormon senator, prob.
ably not majority, and for this reason
it is believed the much discussed case
will fall fiat.

this gold was one nugget as large as an
ordinary sized marble. A friend Of

day or two later sold 1t for $565.

with gold for sale. This nugget"-here

wash gold Of irregular shape and about
half an inch long by little over a

years ago in Teplsco. He had several
other pieces of fine gold ore, but as I
was not interested In mines I bought
this simply for the purpose Of making
pin out Of it
About eight months ago a buscon
brought into Tepisco a mule load Of
silver ore, which he sold for $500 to
one Of the local ore buyers. All efforts
to Induce him to reveal the place where
he obtained the ore proved Of no avail.
When he found he was watched by

work upon little corn ranch that he
had in the neighborhood, and there he
stayed until those watching him got
tired. About two months ago he sud-
denly disappeared and had not again
been seen there at the time of my de-
parture, two weeks ago. 1t is my opin-
ion that he Is again on the hunt for
the mine from which he got the ore.
oh, If he knows where it is, he is TAX

sold out all his corn and realized on
his other crops at a sacrifice before
he left
1T may be that he Is taking out de-
nouncement papers. But this | doubt,
as an Indian in that country rarely
does that, for it means the payment Of
taxes and incidentally the revealing Of
the place where the mine is situated.
The Indian about there has been so
badly treated and cheated that he is
afraid of every one and suspicious of
even the mining authorities.
The silver ore which this Indian
brought into the town was an oxide
almost jet black, running like a seam
through wide viein Of hard lime
One of the pieces of ore

ran much less. The man who made the
assay has tried every means In his
Dower to induce the Indian to tell him

chinese eyes are straight in the
skull, according to f. Lemaire in La
Nature. They appear oblique, but they
are not really SO. Won Siebold. Abelds-
dorff and Schlegel. the great authori.
ties. all agree that the eyes of the
Chinese are straight. The reason the
eye appears oblique Is that the upper
eyelid and the general direction of the
eyebrow are oblique; the upper eyelid
at the side of the nose forms a special
fold which covers entirely the angle
where the lachrymal gland is found,
In addition the lids are generally very
thin and the eyes less open.

three speeches on the railroad rate bill
in the senate today. McCreary, Bailey

sion's orders by courts below the Su.
preme court. He contended, that con.

scribe limitations for the courts which
it creates, and cited large number of

Hepburn advocated review provision,
but expressed the opinion that, even if
it were omitted, no person could be de.

st. Petersburg, March o. NJ. Kut-
Ter, ex- minister of agriculture and now
candidate of the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis for election to the lower house of
the national parliament, today began
publication of an interesting series of
articles on the agrarian question. He
says the only solution of the problem,
which is most crying issue before
Russia, is the appropriation of the
land of the big proprietors for the ben
eft of the peasants, who, he contends,
have moral right to the land, much
of which was stolen from their ances.
tors by the Boyars when the latter re-
ddced them to slavery.
