BEEF PACKERS
GO SCOTT FREE
Pleas Of Immunity Are Upheld by
Federal Court at Chicago.
THEIR JOY UNB0UNDED
Decision Holds Only as to individuals
and Indictments Against Corpo-
ratiOnS Still Stand.

A Chicago dispatch says: All the
packers who were indicted by fed
eral grand jury last summer on
charges of conspiracy in restraint Of
interstate trade and commerce have
been granted immunity from criminal
prosecution unGer the indictment.
While the individuals are to so free,
the indictments round against the
corporations, OF wnlcn some OF the in
dicteu packers are members ana 9th
ers are employees, are to stand. The
jury returned a verdict IN accordance
with the direction of the court.
A decision to this effect was handed
down Friday afternoon by Judge ].
Otis Humphrey IN the United States
district court. The court reviewed the
case in all its bearings, and all the
essential facts which had been brought
out, and concluded as follows:
Under the law in this case the
ants will be sustained as to the in
dividuals and denied to the corpora
lions, and the jury will find in favor
Of the government as far as the cor
pOrauons are concerned, and against
the government as far as the indivii-
uals are concerned"
During the rendition of the decision
the court was crowded by defendants
and numerous spectators.
Edward Morris and Edward Swift
were in court and both smiled hap
PLY when the decision was announc-
ed. ]. Ogden Armour was not pres
ent, but some men prominent OF the
employ Of Armour & Co., who were
under indictment were there and their
joy was great.
When the judge announced that
the Indictment would not lie against
them. the defendants crowded to-
gether and shook hands.
Immediately following the dismis-
sal of the jury, District Attorney Nor
rison 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 storm of protest
from the attorneys of the packers,
who insisted that they would be I'M
able to prepare for the case before
fall, pleading the number of witnesses
which it would be necessary to bring
to Chicago, the strain of the present
trial, and various other reasons.
After some discussion, Judge Hum
phrey directed that the lawyers agree
among themselves on a date and noti-
fy him Of their decisions next week.
It is expected that the total number
OF. witnesses in this trial, when it be-
gins, will number, at least, 1,6OO

SENATOR HAD DATES MIXED.
Why Missouri Statesman Was Late
at Cabinet Dinner.

Ex-senator Cockrell probably is the
only man in Washington who ever
kept President Roosevelt waiting at a
dinner. 1t was one of the cabinet
dinners that were given by the sec
rotary of the interior and Mrs. Hitch
cock three years ago. The president
and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due
time, as did all the other guests ex-
cept Senator CockreH
After a delay of almost an hour
Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to
the dining-room and dispatched a
messenger to the residence OF Sena-
tor Cockrell to make inquiries. Great
fear was felt that the Missourian had
started and had fallen by the way, as
the day was a cold and wintry one
The fact was, however, that the SEN
ator was sitting quietly at home when
the messenger got there, clad in his
dressing gown and slippers and con-
graduating himself that he could be
indoors He had put the date of the
dinner In his calendar in large and
attractive handwriting, but had for
gotten to turn leaf and was. &C.
cord1ngly, day behind time. No one
appreciated the joke more than did
the president, and the dinner that be-
gan in anxiety and apprehension end
ed in big laugh at the dear old SEN
