Attorneys Miller's Address.

"A meeting was held at the Chicago Club.
in this city. on April 13, 1905, between Com
missioner Garfield, l.. c. Krauthoff and
Samuel McRoberts. The question arose as
to the relations to exist between Commits
sioner Garfield and the packers, df the in
vestigation was to be in the proper line of
privacy Mr.. Garfield said that the uues-
ton of what the government was or was
not entitled to might come up and that if
it arose he would settle it. He said he
desired to conduct investigation, but
without violating any rights of privacy
Mr. krauthoff suggested that he might ad-
wise the packers who were his clients to re-
sist the right of the commissioner to public
ly investigate a private business, and that
he was disposed TO ask the packers not to
contest the matter.
The question then arose as to the meth
cd of getting information and how the work
OF the agents of the commissioner would
be considered.
Commissioner Garfield replied that the
information would be the same if the de-
PENDANTS had testified before him person.
ally"
The attorney then contended that under
the law, although the packers were not
sworn, and it the order of Commits
sioner Garfield that they should not be, the
evidence of the men was less evidence and
within the immunity law.
Attorney Miller concluded his address at
noon and was followed by Attorney George
w. Brown also for the packers.

Moderation Toward Jews.

Mohammed Ell Torres, head of the Moroc-
mission, has informed the delegates
that the sultan is prepared to abolish the
harsh laws requiring Jews to PROSTATE
themselves before the mosques and other
humilating practices, but the delegates
doubt the wisdom of their abolition as Mo-
hammed Ell Torres and the foreign ministers
residing in Morocco say that the non-per-
formance of this traditional abeisance by
the Jews would excite an anti-Jewish out
break.
1t is expected that the American delegates
will strongly favor an amelioration of the
conditions of the Jews.

THE MOROCCAN ISSUE
NO SESSION TODAY IN DEFER

ALGECIRAS Spain. January 19.-This be-

no session of the international conference

for the Moroccan delegates. Moorish
villa served temporarily a mosque where
the Moors redoubled their religious feryor
in praying for the preservation of their
country.
In the meantime the exchanges of views
between the delegates of the powers have
brought an agreement not to consider ques-
tions outside of the prearranged Franco
German program. One result of this is to
exclude the religious subjects which the
Vatican is said to desire to introduce
through Austria. However, one Of the am
bassadors says that the Jewish question can
come up not as religious issue, but as in

ATTORNEY MILLER.

CHICAGO, January 19.-Attorney John s.
Miller, speaking for the packers, continued
his preliminary statement In the United
states court today. He created something

packers in this case are entitled to tmmu-
nifty from prosecution. He declared further
that last March Commissioner Garfield de-
clared that he would consider the seeking
or facts by his agents in the offices OF the
packers as If they had been developed be-
fore him personally and had been presented
in his presence at a. formal hearing.

Katrir1ka.

It may have been the fault Of the chick
ems. and 1t may have been because the old
black pig grunted too soon; It certainly
was not Thinks fault-oh. no!
Trink was small person. very proud and
very sun-burned and very charming when
everything went as she wanted it; and very
well. must confess-very apt to be cross
when she couldn't have her own way. But
she soon outgrew that. SO 1t is hardly fair
| to describe her as anything but a big ray OF
| sunshine.
Trink was short for katrinka, and as
she was short of stature, the name applied
| both ways. But perhaps you remember the
story I told you once about Trink and
the woodchuck and the blue kitty.
Trink was at her grandmother's again,
on the beautiful big farm between the
mountains; and she was having the best
kind of a time, especially as her small
cousin, Nell. had also come there to make
a visit. There was one thing they did wish
for and that was apples. All of the apples
In the orchard were as green as fresh
grass. and no good to eat. for they had
or 50 in bed.
One day when Trink was helping Uncle
Jim hunt eggs in the weeds back of his
new chicken house, she discovered, instead
of nest of white eggs two large shining
strawberry apples. And looking up above
ner mead she saw many more. all on the
side of the tree toward the chicken house
and far above her head. Uncle jim, care
fully climbing up on the corner of the
house, picked hatful Of beauties and
gave them to her.
Don't ever climb up there yourself
Trinky." he said, "for you know my nice
new chicken house has glass roof, and
II you slip an inch you may crash through
and hurt yourself and the chickens and
spoil the houseH
''Pn remember" Uncle Jim, said Trink.
as she raced of to find Nell Tr,nk was
always dutiful long as she remembered.
So when she showed Nell the tree next
day and the great red apples beckoned
them. she refused to climb on the end of
the chicken house for one instant, or to al
low daring Nell to do 1t.
."Yeu boost me up. Nelly she S, i'd bright

up so they would not fall into the chicken
house. land I'll climb out on the limb and
throw EN- down to you-you can catch EN-
in your DRESS"
So roly-poly Trinky rolled up the tree
and worked her way out on the limb. care
fully keeping her eye on the place where
the biggest and best apples were. She
finally seated herself Just where she could
reach several nice apples. Then she
dropped big one down to Nell and buried
her teeth in another. After that one was
finished. even to the seeds. she picked some
more to throw down.
I'm not ready to catch 'em yet" cried
Nelly. Put 'em in your lap a minute"
So Trink picked UP an apron full of jolly
red ones and then sat looking down In the
chicken yard under her.
"Oh. obi" she screamed, there's an old
hen just coming off with the darlingest
fluffy chicks you ever saw wish you
could see 'em. Nelly
But Nelly had seen something else, which
was the old black pig trotting through the
orchard pell nell toward the strawberry
apple tree And If there was one thing
both she and Trink were very much afraid
of it was that same inQuisitive old black
pig which always poked his nose in where
he wasn't wanted. Nelly was running
away as fast as she could. The men caught
sight Of Trnk in the tree above her and
commenced to "cut-cut-cadarcat." just as
the little girl saw Nelly running through
the orchard, and the old black pig under
the tree. She turned to clutch the limb on
which she was sitting, and before she
knew what had happened there was

ARBoR DAY ABROAD.

In the last thirty years Arbor Gay, origt-
mating as an annual festival and holiday
In the United States. has spread to many
European countries. where it's observance
has been entered on and is kept up with
enthusiasm. Italy began 1t in 1902, making
its annual school arbor festival a state in
stitution. In Spain like association was
formed In the same year.
Belgium fell into line a little later, and
In Russia, Sweden. Austria Hungary, Swift
zerland, Portugal. Japan everywhere where
the necessity of reforestation has been rec
ognized, children are interested in trees by
similar methods. In this respect France has
taken leading part, the school children
going In the spring into the fields, under the
direction of the teachers, and there planting
trees to develop into future forests.
The French Forest Society OF the Friends
CT Trees. whose president is Senator Call
vert, has gwen a strong impulse to refor-

the celebration Of Arbor day in particular,
this year to be reinforced with the aid of
fectors, reflects. the forest administration
and all allied officials. The writer in La

Of Arbor day to the proposal of Secretary
Morton. made in Nebraska, its adoption as
a national festivai speedily following.
