A PACKING COMPANY
 WHICH NEVER PACKED
A Fact Brought Out in the Immunity
 Trial Case.

Chicago. Feb. 2-Arguments con- corning the admissibility of evidence occupied the greater part Of the day in the packers case, and at the time of adjournment but two witnesses had been on the stand.
 Last night just prior to adjournment District Attorney Morrison objected to any statements of Jesse P. Lyman Of Boston, former president of the Nat ionaI Packing company relative to any conversation between MT. Lyman and Commissioner Garfield He claimed that Lyman was not party to the trial nor was the National Packing company and therefore his evidence as to a plea of immunity should be ruled out. Judge Humphrey finally permit ted MT. Lyman to relate the conversa- tion. It did not differ materially from other conversations of the same kind that had been previously given.
 Late in the day, when under cross examination by District Attorney Nor rison, Lyman admitted that the Nat ional Packing company had never slaughtered an animal or made a sale. He declared that it is a holding com pany only.

imous, but it will represent the views of a majority of the members. The report will be supported, it is expected by Senators Cullom, Deliver and Clapp and possibly by other republi- cans and by the democratic members of the committee.
 It can be stated that while the pres ident desires such rate regulation shall be established as he has recommended,
 he is firm in his attitude that the
 railroads as well as shippers shall be dealt with entirely justly. He wants nothing in the law that would affect
 unfairly the rights or property of the
 railroads. He is confident that legis-
 lation to be framed substantially on
 lines of the Hepburn measure will
 prove fair alike to the railroads and
 to the people. He is not trying to die
 tate matters of detail, and of course,
 will preserve an open mind, as to pro-
 posed amendments, which do not affect
 the material and substantial features
 of the bill
 The president is interested deeply In
 the Philippine tariff bill and the statehood measure. Concession as to either one of them have not, it is stated, been given serious considera- tion. At the White House it is un- derstood that an effort is to be made in the senate first, to eliminate Ari zona and New Mexico for considera . tion as a joint state and if that should fail. secondly, to incorporate in the statehood bill a provision for the ref erence of the question of joint state hood to voters of the tew territories. separately.

According to an Authoritative Statement
 Proceeding From the White House
It Added That He Will Not Have Any Unsatisfactory Rate or Other Legislation His Probable Action an Amended Statehood Bill.

Washington, Feb 2.- President Roosevelt is not trying to dictate to congress what it shall do or not do, regarding railroad rate legislation or any other problem of legislation. He mas not delivered to the senate or to the house any sort of an 'ultimatum' on subjects of legislation and has not held over the heads of congress the threat of an extraordinary session if he does not obtain the legislation for which he is hoping"
 This statement is made by authori- ty; also that suggestions of a com promise of any sort on rate regulation which does not embOdy the substance of the presidents message have not appealed to the president. It can also be said that he doubtless would refuse to accept a compromise which would affect any essential feature of propos- eded legislation. What is known as the Hepburn bill, now under discussion by the house. embodies substantially the presidents views as set forth in his annual message. In the early days of the present session, he thought the measure proposed by the interstate commission was the most practicable offered. but after mature consideration it seemed to him that the Hepburn bill was the better.
 The members of the senate commit tee on interstate commerce have as sured the president that either the Hepburn bill or a measure resembling it in it's essential features will be re- ported to the senate. The report or the senate committee will not be unan-

the Statehood Bill as it Was
 Getting Started
The Other Members of the Opposition Were So Engrossed With Other Matters That They Did Not Observe What Was Going On.

Washington, Feb. 2.-There was for moment today a prospect that the statehood bill would receive it's frs. formal reading in that body. always the initiative step in the consideration of any measure reported from a com mittee.
 The senate took up the calendar inn mediately after dispOsing of the rou- tine business, and as the statehood bill occupied the first place the secre- tary had begun to read it before any of the opponents of the bill realized the situation. He had covered but few pages when MT. Teller put stop to the proceedings.
 The shipping bill was made the basis of running debate between Mir. Patterson in opposition and MT. Gal finger and MT. Perkins in support. MT. Patterson criticized the provision for the subvention to the Oceanic Steamship company saying that that concern was now under contract to carry the mails al a good compensation and that the request for a subsidy amounted to a demand for more money on its contract. Messrs. Gallinger and Perkins replied that the company was losing money.

RATE BILL
 AGREEMENT The Senate Committee Will Decide Feb. I6
The Present Indication is That the Administration Measure Will Have a Committee Majority.

Washington, Feb. Railroad rate legislation will be voted upon by the senate committee on interstate com take a final vote at that time on the measures pending before the commit tee was reached today. The differ
 ences of the opposing factions have narrowed down to the court features of the biII but these present vari- ance admitted to be fatal to a har- mOnious committee report.
 They may be summarized in this pro-
 position: Whether there shall be a
 specific provision for review by the
 United States courts of orders of the
 interstate commerce commission estab.
 fishing rates before such orders be-
 come operative.
 On this question rests the fate of
 the favorite issue of the president as
 submitted to congress in his annual message to congress. The house bill
 does not contain this provision in di-
 rect terms. This bill meets with the
 approval of the administration. The
 supporters of that measure, as well as
 of the Deliver -Clapp bill which ;s
 built on similar lines, contend that common carriers have the same rights
 as other persons and can go into the ! courts and secure an injunction against an order of the commission and that there is no occasion to enact into law something that is already provided for by existing statutes.
 The opposition forces. which call themselves the conservative element hold that without the specific provi- sion demanded by them the interstate commerce commission will be all pow erful. They take the position that a common carrier should not be compell- i ed to go into court to have wrongful rate righted, or in other words, that d rate the common carrier believes to be unjust should be regulated without compelling recourse to injunction. Members of the senate committee insist that there is no significance in | the reaching of an agreement to vote on Feb. Is. The arrangement carries with it an agreement to vote on Feb. 9, and daily thereafter and consider the various bills before the committee. It is expressed by the committee that | before that time the Hepburn bill will | have passed the house. In that event, | the house bill would furnish the basis
 for discussion and the prospects, are that efforts will be made by the op- position to amend this bill. rather than to attempt to bring one of their own l bills out of the committee.
 Canvasses of the committee have been made today by the administration
 forces and by the opposition. Both claim a majority of the committee but neither side is willing to be quoted as
 to the lineup. On the general propo-

 When the lusty voices of the miners mingled in the singing of America" had hushed, an oppressive silence fell upon the assembled delegates, and as President John Mitchell slowly pro- nounced the words which adjourned the seventeenth annual convention without day, thus dissOlving every hope of averting a gigantic industrial war without the intervention of some un- expected and powerful influence, the miners marched out of the hall, their faces set with a grim determination, which showed the steadfastness of purpose which has marked the his tory making session just closed

He spurns the suggestion that in or der to secure votes for the Hepburn rate regulation bill, the administration would be willing to permit the Philip pine sugar and tobacco imports to come into the United States at rate of 50 per cent of the Dingley tariff rates. Secretary Taft would see the Philippine bill defeated on a direct vote rather than be a party to any such compromise.
