LATHR0P TESTIFIES
Can't Find Decd of His Property Charles H. Bronson Testifies as
 An Expert
STORY OF TAILOR MADE SUIT

The hearing of the Lathrop divorce suit was resumed in the superior
 court to-day at 10 o'clock before Judge
 Reed. Mir Lathrop was called to the stand and testified that he could not say where the original deed to the property owned by him on Bank street Is. He thought it was in the bank, but found it was not.
 c. H. Bronson testified regarding the life expectations of the principals. He said woman of forty, such as
 Mrs Lathrop should expect to live 2S and 2-10 years and Mir Lathrop who is seventy four, should live 6 and 7-10 years.
 The half dozen depositions which have already been referred to were then read. Walter l.. Titus, bookkeep- CT for Lord &5 Taylor of New York dry goods dealers, deposed that MT Lathrop had notified the concern to no longer give credit to Mrs Lathrop. This was about July, 1903. Along with this deposition were number of bills showing that subsequent to that date and away into the following year MT Lathrop bought women's wearing ap- parel. One of the items was tailor made suit for woman who was not his wife and which cost $51. The wo- man is said to be one of the core spondents Mrs Emma Carey. There were bills for jewelry and small things such women like to adorn themselves with.
 Backing up the above deposition was one by Catherine McNally dressmaker for Lord & Taylor. She deposed that she saw Mir Lathrop in the store one day with '.lady who was not his wife, and the lady tried on the tailor-made suit.
 Gustav Cornelis of Woodtic was before the jury in the district court to-day charged with having violated the game laws by fishing out of sea son. Half Woodtic and big slice of Wolcott were at the trial. This case was an appeal from the Woodtic just ices decision in finding MT Cornelis guilty. Attorney Peasley assisted in the prosecution and Attorney Car mody defended. Cedar Swamp. place very well known to all disciples of Izaak Walton was the scene of the de- fendant's alleged depredations. All that most of the witnesses. however. saw Mir Cornelis catch was a lot of old roots. which makes fishing any thing but pleasant in that place "when they ain't bitin'." Other witness tes- tified that Mir Cornelis used net and caught everything that was able to bite. However, the jury after being \ a short time ont reported verdict of not guilty. It is very likely that this verdict will put an end to the prose cution. Mr Cornelis has been con- pelled to bear for some time

GOVERNMENT ENDORSED.
Congress Now in Session in Favor of
 the Agrarian Program. ..s.4.

- s~@s~~@e
 St Petersburg, June 12.s--The no bles' congress now in session here has practically endorsed the govern ment's agrarian program. having de- clared itself against the forced ex- propriation of land and proposing only two methods for the relief of the peasants, namely purchases of land through the peasants banks and transmigration to Siberia, especially the latter, and recommending the granting of free land in Siberia and exemption from taxes for period of years. The congress also endorsed the governments proposition for disso- lution of the commune system where it is desired. An influential but small minority, headed by Count Uvaroff. of Saratoff, protested against the sell fish attitude of the nobility. urging that the large landlords, if they wished to escape from utter ruin. must cede something to the peasantry.

THE BIG PACKING
 COMPANIES GUILTY They Accepted Concessions on the B. and Q. Raihoad on Packing
 House Produce WILL BE NO JAIL SENTENCE
As the Law Only Provides For a Fine in Such Cases Another
 Case to Be Heard.

Kansas City, July 12.-The cases
 of the four meat packing companies
 charged with accepting rebates, was
 to-day given to~the jury in the
 United States district court here.
 The cases are those of Armour & Co. Swift & Co, Cudahy & Co and the
 Nelson Morris Packing Co. They were charged in indictments returned here last December with accepting from the Burlington railway conces- sions on shipments from the Kansas
 City plants to New York for export.
 The cases were consolidated for trial purposes. The specific case consid- cred. which is practically identical
 with the others, Is that charging Cudahy & Co with accepting rate of 25 cents hundred pounds on a shipment of lard to New York for ex- port to Germany when the legal tariff then on file with the interstate commerce commission was 35 cents. The trial began last week and after a lengthy argument was continued until this morning, when Judge Smith McPherson of Red Oak, Ia. the presiding judge, instructed the jury.
 The present case bears unusual in the list of rebate trials to come up in this court, for it is the first time that any concern has been brought to trial before jury on a charge affecting export rates as ap- piled to the interstate commerce act.
 Judge McPherson's instructions to the jury covered the points fully. Judge McPherson, in stating the case, said that according to the in dictment returned against the de- fendant, the packing company signed a contract to run until De- cember 31, 1905, in which the Bur lington railway agreed, with other connecting railways, to carry pack ing house products from the Mis- souri river to Germany. billed via New York; that the rate agreed upon rate of 20 cents hun dred pounds between the Mississippi ,riyar and. New York; that while this contract was in existence the Burliny- ton railway filed with the interstate commerce commission an amended tariff of 35 cents on these products from the Mississippi river to New York; and that the defendant con tinued to accept the 25-cent rate after August 6, 1905, when the al- legged offense was committed.
 Judge McPherson says: The court charges you that in carrying the products from Kansas City. Kan, to the Atlantic seaboard to be loaded for European ports. such commerce was with foreign nations. In this case the defendant packing company was both the shipper and the con signee. And in making such ship ment from Kansas City, Kan, to European port, both the defendant packing company, the Burlington and the connecting lines of railroad are amenable to the two statutes of February 4, 1887. and February 19. 1903"
 Judge McPherson said that there is no question as to the reasonable ness of the rates nor as to the efi- ciency of the service, but the ques- ton is: Did the defendant packing company receive unlawful conces- sions in making said shipments?"

about one of his standard family
medicines known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 10 the May
number of the Ladies' Home Journ-
al (l9O4), MIR. Ewdard Box, the edi-
tor stated, that DR.. Pierce's Favo-
rite Prescription contained alcohol
and some other harmful ingredients,
and DR.. Pierce had IN the action
alleged that the defendant malicious

such false and defamatOry matter.
DR.. Pieree further claimed that no
alcohol is or ever was contained in
his "Favorite Prescription" that
said medicine was a vegetable prepar-
alton and contained no deleterious in
gradients whatever; that Mr.. Bok's
statement. pretending to give some
Of the ingredients Of SAID medicine,
