THE IMMUNITY PLEA
 SUBJECT OF IRIAL
Packers and Government Attorneys
 Fail to Reach an Agreement

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-That the question of the indicted packers immunity from prosecution must be tried on the facts became a practical certainty today when the last effort of the opposing attorneys to reach an agreement by which the matter might be expedited failed. The hearing that now becomes necessary will involve the taking of a large volume of testimony and will last for perhaps three weeks. Had an agreement been reached, a plea for the defendant packers would have beep made to which the government would have filed a demurrer. In this de- murrer the attorneys would have ar gued before Judge Humphrey with no testimony and without jury.
 District Attorney Morrison and At torney John R. Wilson, the latter act ing for the defendants. each waited for the other to make a move today to- ward an agreement, it having been ar ranged that if either aad any conces- sion to offer, he would notify the other. Neither made an advance. however, and the day was the last for confer enees on the matter, trial of the inn munigy pleas having been set for to- morrow.
 The first step in the trial will be testimony by Louis C. Krauthoff. for merly general counsel for Armour and company, who interviewed Commits

The Statehood Bill May Come Before the
 Senate in an irregular Way
The Prospects Are However for Long Drawn Out Con- test-The House Will Devote Itself Mainly to the Hepburn Rate Bill

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The senate will begin the week with the consider ation of the Chinese boycott. The ques- ton will come up in connection with a resolution offered last week by Sena- tor Tillman directing the committee on immigration to investigate reports concerning Chinese opposition to American manufactures. When the re- solution was presented, MT. Tillman asked for immediate consideration, bu. MT. Aldrich objected It is understood that he and other republican senators dislike the preamble to the resolution which assumes as a fact the reported leadership of former minister Wu Ting Fang in the boycott movement. Mir. Tillman is disposed to insist upon the retention of this phraseology. If he does not change his mind the resolu- ton will lead to a considerable airing of the Chinese question.
 Senator Gallinger will make an effort on Monday to secure further considera- tion of shipping bill and it is his pur- pose to press that measure upon the attention of the senate as insistently as circumstances will permit. In his policy, he will be supported, at least for the present by many republican senators.
 It is suspected by some friends of the shipping bill that there is a disposition to keep the measure in it's place for the

FLAGSTAFF
 GOING DRY
Water Supply Gut off by
 Earthquake
Uncertain Whether Pipe Line is Broken or Whether Source of Sup- ply is Swallowed U2.

Flagstaff. Ariz-, Jan. 2S.-(SpecIan The sereve earthquake shock felt throughout northern Arizona on Thurs day last played havoc with this city-s water supply and water famine Is threatened. The supply Is derived from large springs high up in the San Francisco mountains. the water being piped seventeen miles to the distrIbut- ing reservoir After the earthquake the water ceased flowing into the re- servoir and 1t is feared a portion oe the pipe line was carried aWly by a landslide or that subterranean fIs- sures have been opened inside of yhe old crater where the springs are lo- cated and that the springs have stop ped running.
 A party has been sent out Co follow up the pipe line and eudeavor to To- cate the trouble, but as the upper DOT ton of the line is now buried under many feet Of snow the trip will be an extremely difficult and dangerous one. if indeed. it can be made at all With strict economy the supply Of water in the reservoir will last two or three weeks.

HOWL HEARD
 FOR STANDARD
HddIey'S Fight PinCheS
 Western Oil Fields
It is Feared That the Missouri Inves. tigatiOn Will Cut Them off From the Market.

Bartlesville, I. T., Jan. 2S.-Orders have been issued by the Standard Oil company that hereafter only a third of the mid-continent fields output will be bought, owing to the fact that the Standard will be prevented from con unuing as buyer and transporter of petroleum through proceedings insti- tuted by Attorney General Hadley, of Missouri. There is a production of 50,O00 barrels daily. The operators are organizing to send a delegation to see the Standard companys agents in Kansas City. since the enforcement of such an order for a long time means the suspending of all activity here soon. Failing they will go to MT. Had ley to see if he intends to prevent the Standard from transporting oil across Missouri.
 The committee will tell him that if the Standard is busted from Missouri. it will shut off the market for petro- leum products in this field, because the pipe line from the mid-contment fields runs through a portion Of Missouri. Already a reduction by two-thirds of the amount formerly taken by the Standard company has demoralized business and there are fears that the Standard will cease entirely to take oil during the agitation.

SEA WOLF" DEAD
 CAPTAIN MCLEAN
From Whom Jack London Drew a
 Character for Novel.

Victoria. B. C.. Jan. 2S.-Telegram from Bamfield says that the halibut fishing schooner Ella c has turned turtle and six men on board drowned Among them was Alexander Mclean, who was commander of the illegal seal ing vessel Carmencita.
 Captain Alexander Mclean who was interested in the ownership of the yes sel was a sealer who had become mo- torious. as the result of sealing raids and a recent illicit sealing cruise to the Behring sea in the schooner Car mencita.
 Jack London, the novelist stated that Mclean was the foundation for the character of Larsen, 'the Sea Wolf of his moved of that name and he has since been known on the Pacific coast as Sea Wolff
 With his brother, Dan Mclean, who died some years ago, he was engaged in sealing on the Pacific coast. for many years, and on one occasion was seized by the Russian cruiser, Aleut, when sailing off the Copper Islands with the Americain schooner James Hamilton Lewis and ne then most dar- ingly tried to disable the cruiser by throwing a cable about her propeller. The attempt did not succeed and he and his crew were imprisoned.
 He was responsible for a number of sealing raids. the last being in Aug ust 1904. when he tried to raid Cop per island and was driven off by shore guards two of his men being shot It was in consequence of this that the United States secret service men start ed work and orders were given for McLean's arrest when ne was absent on his voyage with a crew of thirty one men from San Francisco. The owners at San Francisco were indicted and are now on bail and warrant was issued for Mclean which was was never served.

A letter was received from the head quarters of the organization at New York containing advice regarding or ganization in Phoenix. MT. McDil of Chicago, organizer for the southwest is now in this section having estao- lished organizations in Fl Paso, Doug las and Bisbee and 1t is quite probable that he will come to look personally after the work here.
 Tn the meantime the work of increas- ing the interest in the local movement will go on. All who are desirous of joining the organization after it has been made permanent are asked to make themselves known to Professor J. L. Gilkerson the secretary and trea- surer of the temporary organization. Fifty one names have already been re- ceived and the indications are that the list will grow rapidly.
 One thing always in mind is the se- curing of a Y. M. c. A. building. The subject of, the selection Of a site is un- der consideration. There will be regu- lar meetings at Veterans hall every Sun day afternoon at o'clock and all are urged to attend and help the work along. It is desired that contributions be got ready and it is suggested that those who can spare large sums can find in the enterprise a fitting mem oriaI.
 The magnitude of the work of the Y. M. C. A. throughout the world Is shown in the fact that within the last year 1O,OO0,OOO has been expended. Of this sum $3,O00,000 has been spent in new buildings, :.
 Business men and railroad manage ments are year by year recognizing the usefulness of the organization and are giving it substantial encouragement The building at Douglas which will cost S36,000 was made possible by the rail- road. The roads and business men have contributed liberally to the SS0,- 900 building at Fl Paso and the $50. GOO building at Bisbee. In view of the fact that there is hardly q town in the United States, of 5000 which has not 9 building or which is not engaged in preparation for one it appears to be due tO Phoenix to have one

purpose of holding off the statehood bill, but they say that while they are not prepared to let go of the shipping bill for the present they can displace it whenever so disposed with the state hood bill The antagonists of state hood do not admit this, and it looks as if the fight over the admission of new states might be initiated in this way. It is not probable, however. that this stage of the contest will be reach ed for some time.
 MT. Gallinger will offer further amendments to his bill on Monday and either then or later in the week he and Senators Lodge and Penrose will make speeches in support of the bill There will then be an effort to get the op- ponents of the bill either to agree to a vote or give their reasons for their Op l. position. There will be no attempt to prolong the sessions, but the bill will be held in its place as steadily as pos sible in the hope of getting action be- fore it becomes necessary to crowd the measure out in the interest of other bills.
 The statehood bill will be reported by MT. Beveridge from the committee on
 territories on Monday Tire commit tee has given no instructions to him as to bringing the bill up Tn The senate but he will press it as rapidly as he can. without prejudice to other party measures. The friends of the bill ex- pect very determined opposition and Q l long contest is among the strong pos abilities The principal point of the controversy is the union of New Mex icO and Arizona, and an especial ef- 1 fort will be made to secure the adOp- tioO of Mr FOraker's amendment giV- i ing the people of Arizona the oppor- tunity to vote separately on the pro- . position.

THE HOUSE PROGRAM.
The Interest of the Week Will Center
 in the Hepburn Rate Bill.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-In the house the Hepburn railroad rate bill indorsed alike by republicans and democrats of the interstate and foreign commerce committee is to be the legislative fea- ture of the week. The Dill is to be brought in with absolutely no restric- uons as to debate or amendment Its consideration will begin On Tuesday, according to the present plan and the indications are that vote will hardly be reached by the end of the week.
 We are to give the house new sen satiOn," said one of the members who has hand in making the program of legislation. It is seldom that the house can indulge itself in unrestricted talk and unhampered opportunity for amendment on any given subject of Legislation. On the rail ,oad rate bill, with a unanimous report from the committee this is for once to be changed. The bars are to be left en- tirely down. Of course if it should transpire that this privilege is to be abused in any way or should an at tempt be made to run away with the opportunity, a rule c5n at any time be brought in and adopted which will put an end to the fun. This. however would result only when it became ap- parent that dangerous amendments were threataned. There will be no re- strictiun as to speech making"
 Monday under the rule is District day and there are six bills on the cal endar relating to the District of Colum- bia, which will be considered. Should they remain, it is not unlikely that the pension appropritiOn bill will be put through. This bill is ready for action; ii is q short measure and there is 2 disposition to get it through to the senate speedily.

The Isle of Pines treaty will be reported early in the week. MT. Foraker will have charge or it and will try to secure an early vote on it. There will be an eff fort to amend the treaty so as to pro- tect the rights of Americans on the is land.
