IN BEEF PACKERS CASES

Washington, d. c.. April 1S.-In a
special message delivered today,
President Roosevelt declares the re-
cent trial of the beef packers" in
Chicago, a miscarriage of Justice"
and that the Interpretation placed by
Judge Humphrey on the will of con-
gress is such as to make that will
absolutely abortive." The message,
which is of most sensational char
acter, is based largely on the letter
to the president from the attorney
general, in which the latter reviews
the proceedings of the case of the
government against the packers. The
president says that 1t Is clear that no
criticism attaches to Commissioner
Garfield, as what he did was in pur-
suance to the duty imposed upon by
congress. He refers sharply, how
ever, to the decision of Judge Hum
phrey, saying congress could not
have foreseen such a decision, and
could hardly believe that the ruling
of Humphrey will be followed by
other judges, and declared that such
Interpretation of the law as that
comes measurably near to making
law farce"

KEEN INTEREST IN
RANKS OE u S ARMY

Washington, d. c., April 1S.-The
war department is much gratified to
observe the keen interest which is
taken in the instructions originating
with the president for practical work
of soldiers in the field. Il was ex-
pected that the idea would meet more
or less criticism, and that the Off
GERS and men would not be especially
desirious of going out into the field
ON long marches. Much work is en-
tailed on the officers in charge OF
transportation and subsistence, but
everybody takes hold of the ideas
with great enthusiasm, from all ac-
counts, and # is evident that practical
results Of lasting nature will be de-
rived from the weekly short marches
and the monthly longer hikes" with
the three days camps. AS an in
stance of the new dispensation, one
of the features of the plans for the
mobilization OF the entire army in the
United States at seven posts in the
coming summer is the march OF a
portion of the second battalion of en-
gineeTs from Washington barracks
to Plattsburgh barracks, on the banks
of Lake Champlain. The troops will
carry their full kits and will adopt the
system of regular field provisioning.
To that end, cOmmissary officers are
preparing TO issue the necessary
equipment for the cooking of the food
on the march. The weekly and month
ly marches in the next three months
will put the battalion in fine cOndi-
tion for its long tramp.
