TO MAKE PLEA OF IMMUNITY.
Railroad officials viii Do This in
Rebate Indictments.

Kansas City, No, April 6.EF'or the
fast time in Kansas City, the Immune
plea viii be made in the federal court
next Monday when the rebate cases
viii be argued before Judge Phillips.
Judge E. L. Scarrttt, representing the
Chicago & Alton railroad and other
parties to the proceedings, has filed IN
the federal court the same sort of plea
which was the basis of the decision by
Judge Humphrey in Chicago in the beef
trust cases, wherein it was decided that
the members of the corporations who
had furnished information on which
the indictments were returned were
immune but that the corporations
themselves were not.
The same material points were COW
cred by Judge Humphreys decision
and by the earlier decision of the
United States supreme court il the So
called tobacco trust case" said Judge
Scarritt yesterday, in discussing the
plea THE supreme court decided that
the plea of immunity was not one that
a corporation could make. but was a
personal or individual matter. Judge
Humphrey in the beef trust cases made
practically the same application of the
law, holding that the individual mem
bers of the corporation could not be
punished as the result Of Information
they had given as Individuals
The federal grand jury last Decem-
ber returned indictments against the
five local packing houses, three rail-
roads and q number of Individual W nc
were connected or associated with the
corporations IN the capacity Of freight
traffic managers, traffic brokers, etc
The corporation indictments charge the
companies with violating the Elkins
anti-rebate law, while the individuals
are charged with conspiring to secure
rebates in violation of that law.
The packing companies and the Chi.
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road FLED
general denials. The Burlington and
several OF the men connected with the
freight traffic department filed motions
to Quash the indictments, attacking the
suf7ciency of the indictment.
The Chicago & Alton and the indi-
viduals connected with the traffic de-
partment fled the immunity pleas, anc
| it is these various motions. pleas and
orders which will be argued before
Judge Philips next Monday formid
able array OF legal talent will be en-
gagged on the side Of the corporations
and considerable interest is being taken
in the result of the proceedings.
The Chicago & Alton sets up the
claim that it was compelled to produce
its books papers and other documen-
tary data for the inspection of the fed
eral grand jury IN Chicago and that this
| information was presented to the Kan
sas City grand jury, before which thu
local agents of the road were sum
u1Cned.

the ears of Kansans in Washington,
and is the firm belief of many Of IN.
that ". r. Stubbs. in his campaign for
United States senator is invading the
Third congressional district. and try

Campbell
Mr.. Campbell, who with Mr.. Muir
dock and some others. has been stead
1astly hoodwinked by Mr.. Stubs as to
the. senatorial matter left suddenly fo~
Kansas a few days ago to be present
at his congressional convention at Sc
dan. 1t is probable that the action of
1fr. Stubs in invading his district
came to the ears of Mr.. Campbell,
among others, and that the Third dis
trict representative went home as re-
suit of the suspicion.
Mr.. Stubbs has fooled some aspiring
candidates for the senate amazingly.
Mr. Murdock. for instance. cannot be-
lieve that Mr.. Stubbs, who is his friend,
is really a candidate for the senate. Mr..
Murdock. so it is said. has told some
of his friends that Mr. Stubbs has even
gone so far as to encourage him, Muir
dock. in his senatorial ambitions. This.
Mr. Murdock attributes as an evidence
Of the fact that Stubs is not a candi-
date. and is actuated by pure. friendly,
oisinterested, and patriotic motives in
encouraging Murdock.
1t is well known here, as well as in
Kansas, that Mr.. Stubbs is enga ged
in a desperate fight to be elected sena-
tor. His object in encouraging Mr..
Murdock and others is merely to Sc
cure a field of candidates. have Mr.
Murdock get his solid Eighth district
if possible, and then, at the proper time,

EoRTY-oNE STORIES HIGH

Day and night the work construct
ing the caiSson foundations for the
forty -one-story Singer building, on
Broadway, between Cortland and Lib
erty streets, is being pushed along. This
building, which will be 612 feet high
making it the tallest office structure
in the world, is to be ready for occu-
pancy in May, 1908. The foundations
are carried down to bedrock ninety
feet below Broadway.
After the necessary excavation has
been made, the working chamber a
deep box made of small sections of
timber or steel, without a bottom, and
with the lower edges shot with steel, is
lowered into place. The sandhogs be-
gin to undermine the cutting edges, the
spalls being removed by huge buckets.
AS the chamber sinks below the water
line sectional shaft, equipped with
an airlock, is inserted in the roof, and
compressed air pumped into the cham
Der to keer it clear of water. One
pound OF pressure is employed for
every two and one-third feet below the
water line.
The building of the foundation pier is
done simultaneously with the sinking
of the chamber by placing layers of
concrete on top of it, and increasing
them as the chamber sinks. At the
same time the concrete serves to coun-
terbalance the air pressure within the
chamber When the chamber has
reached bedrock the foundation pier is
almost complete. The chamber and
shaft are then removed and the space
LETT filled with concrete.-New York
