SPECIAL PLEAS OF THE
DEFENDANTS FOR
IMMUNITY
CITE GARFlELD'S PROMISES
But Unfortunately theLetterS
Have Beet Lost"
(By Associated rress.)

Chicago. Ian 9.-The beef trust
case in which the big packing house
corporations and their officials are
charged with conspiracy in restraint
Of trade. was called for trial before
Judge Humphrey today on the special
pleas Of the defendants for immunity.
The present criminal prosecution
results from the investigation made
some time ago by Government Corpor-
alton Commissioner James r. Garfield
into charges that combine existed
among the packers for the restraint OF
trade In the meat business.
The packers expect 20 win the inn
munity plea from criminal prosecu-
tion on the basis that statements
We're secured from them by Mr.. Car
field two months before the federal
grand jury inquiry The packers ex-
pect to prove by Mr. Garfield that
he wrote to them two noaehe before
the grand jury was sworn in for adj
ditional information, which promptly
was furnished, it is claimed, and was
used by the government in securing
the indictments.
Tie weak part OF the defense is that
the packers claim TO have lost or mis-
laid these letters. Commissioner
Garfield has been summoned as wit
ness aud has been called upon to bring
with him copies os-letters for requests
of statements. sent to j. Ogden
Armour. Edward Morris ana Ira Nor
ris. on July 2. 1904, and January 2s,
1905 BY these letters the defense ex-
poets to prove that Commissioner
Garfeld instructed his assistants to
coerce the packers into making state
ments, and that private information
not secured by Mr. Garfield for pubIi-
cation was really secured by him for
the use OF the department OF Justice
and was used by that department In
securing the indictment The defense
claims, in substance, that inasmuch as
Mr. Garfield compelled the packers to
produce testimony against themselves,
upon which they were indicted and are
now being held, they should be permit
ted TO go free.
The jury secured for the trial CON
sists OF fiye farmers, three real estate
dealers, two carpenters. one stock

THE AFFABLE PROBATE
JUDGE AND MARRIAGE
LICENSE RECORD
REGISTER HAD BUSY YEAR
County Clerk Trapp Has No
LOafing Time.

the probate court did a thriving
business during tho past year. Partic-
ularly is this true IN the issuing Of
marriage licenses. During the year
1905, 3OS young, middle aged and an
cient hearts were made glad by receiy-
ing from the hand of the probate judge
license to be bound in the holy ties OF
wedlock. The happiness was not all
theirs however, for Judge strang was
also made glad, as each and every
license nats that afsable gentleman
$500, with an occasional extra" for
tying the knot himself.
Aside from this there were 252
cases filed in justice jurisdiction Of
the probate court, 1872 civil cases and
% criminal cases. The jury system
has been in vogue in the probate cougt
since the law Of 1905 became effective
which adds great deal Of business
and considerable more work to the
probate courts which come under It.

problem is very pe-p,cxing. By judicious
and inexpensive process our mining re-
sources ought 10 be eveloped in a way
that would induce outside capital to
come in and remain active for the bet
terment of the district and steady en-
ployment for a larger number of labor
ers in this line than ever before wit
messed in southwestern Wisconsin.
Mining properties and leases must be
economically as well as intelligently
managed. Such is the assertion of
Henry F. Cochems of Milwaukee, who
has made more than one observation
trip through the district. To demon
strate ne says: "Some years ago a
group Of mine promoters, consisting of
Richard Kennedy, C. w. McIlhon, Phil
Allen, Calvert Spensley and w. A..
Jones, who had faith in the district,
made the first considerable investments
made in the district to solve the prob
lem of successful mining. These gen
tlemen proceeded intelligently and eco
nomically, and practically every prop
erty touched by them, jointly or indi-
vidually, have proven good producers
and profitable, They developed the
Gutenberg mine, the Ida, the st. Rose,
Grunow, Coker, Sunrise, Sunset, Brown
Croft, Kennedy and some others. In
fact they developed in this district more
| dividend paying properties than in the
entire copper producing district Of
northern Michigan. The trouble, where
there is any, is the dissipating of too
much money by men lacking in expert
enue or lacking IN propef sanse u re-
sponsibility to and regard for those
who have invested their money"
Investors should first consider the To-
cation Of mine before placing their
money. There can be no d..sputiilg The
fact that the hauling Of the ore for long
distances eats up in transportation
charges what would otherwise go into
the pockets Of the stockholders as divi-
bends. You can reason for yourself
that in the course Of time this means
thousands Of dollars.

Machinists Strike.

Serious trouble is feared from q strike
among the machinists employed at the
Glenwood shops of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, just outside Pittsbgrg,
Pc. The Glenwood shops are 'open, "
part of the machinists being union men
while the others are non-union.
The trouble has been brewing for sew
eral weeks, and grew out of the discharge
of Thomas NJ. Hampton, one OF the
union men. The latter also ask for the
reinstatement Of Hampton and for the
dismissal OF Master Mechanic !. F.
Prendergast. They allege that the lat
ter is nephew OF one OF the officials Of
the company, and that tor months past
be has been discriminating against the
union men.
On Monday the union men went out
on strike, aud yesterday afternoon they
we're followed by the non-uniOn men.
All the machinists employed at the
shops, to the number Of $50, are out.
The men declare they will get other EN-
ployes to go out, aud that, within few
days, they will be able to tie up the en-
tire Pittsburg division of the road.
