These hearings, he said, had been very
largely attended. but no person had raised
voice against the Sea View company
putting in line from Narragansett Pier
20 Westerly
The speaker said the town would well
come anyone who wished to do a respec-
table business there, but that the growth
OF a town would not be procured by
knocking business interests in the head as
the proposed act would do.
The people OF Westerly want the road
built, and prefer that IL should be done by
home capital. but above IL all we want
IL built" said the speaker.
He also said that the layout first sub
mitted by the company had interfered
with the franchises or the Westerly and
Hopkinton Street Railway company and
the council had refused 10 approve IT, but
had suggested another route for entering
the town, which did not at all AFFECT the
layout OF the Westerly and Hopkinton
company.
There was considerable feeling mani
Tested between all the interests in the
matter, and during the argument Mr..
Crafts made several references 10 Mr. Nc
Donald's prowess as a lobbyist, while the
latter charged Mr.. Crafts With insincerity
OF purpose. Mr.. Crafts also accused Mr..
Peabody OF trying 10 make capital for his
own use at the election next fall by plac-
ing him I'm a false position before the
people of Westerly
The hearing adjourned at LIS o'clock.
The committee will consider the matter
In executive session tomorrow morning.

FIGURES IN
CASE NOW

Chicago. Jan. 23-President Roosevelt
has been made the central figure around
which revolves the entire case involving
the pleas OF the indicted packers for Inn
munity from further prosecution by the
government on charges OF being in a
conspiracy TO restrain interstate com
merce.
Attorney William j. Hines, for the de-
PENDANTS, In closing his opening statement
yesterday before the jury hearing the
immunity pleas. read an excerpt from a
letter written by President Roosevelt 10
Attorney General Moody in the Atchson,
Topeka and Santa Fe rebate case.
This letter was a part OF the communl-
cations between the two men called for
by congress some time ago. 1t is taken
by the packers as an admission by the
president that the department or COM
merce and labor and the department OF
justice worked together to indict the
packers. supporting the contention of the
packers, on which they rest fom immu-
nifty.
The defendant packers will endeavor to
put the letter into the case as evidence.
just as II the president were here and tes-
tilted concerning IL.
The letter was written by the president
on June IL, 1905. at the time the Federal
grand jury WAS sitting in Chicago -nn-the
beef inquiry. That part OF IL read by At
torney Hines reads:
with my approval the department OF
justice, with the assistance OF the depart
ment OF commerce and labor, has for
some months been endeavoring TO find out
whether or not they can obtain legal evil
dence Of such wilful and deliberate viola
tions Of the injunction by any individual.
IF the grand jury now sitting In Chica-
go finds an indictment against any indi-
vidual connected with the packing cor
porations. II will be because I'm their
judgment such legal evidence OF the viola
tion OF the injunction has been laid before
them"
The letter is purported TO be signed by
President Roosevelt and is taken by the
defendants as proof of their contentious.
THAT letter Is public document, and
we will introduce it as evidence in this
case" said Attorney John s. Miller, one
OF the packers attorneys.

ment by Commissioner Garfield after Mr..
Cudahy refused to give the commissioner
information regarding the packing busi-
ness according to a statement made by

evidence against the packers from the

a favorable report on the Hamilton Joint
statehood bill. which provides foir the ad-
mission Of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
as the state OF Oklahoma, and provides
Joint statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
zona under the name OF Arizona.
Tho report says This committee con-
sfders the criticism as ill-infozned. which

It's alleged foreign population. Out OF n
population OF l95, 210 New Mexico has only
l3626 foreign born Inhabitants a smaller
foreign-born percentage than most OF the

The report concludes as follows. "Ynas-
much as congress intended by the or
ganic act OF territory of Oklahoma that
all OF the original territory, together with
what Is now Beaver county, should be-
come one state and inasmuch as the pres
ent territory OF Oklahoma has for some

has been deferred until the Indian terri
tory should be ready TO be Joined there
with IN statehood: and
'Inasmuch rs conditions In the Indian
Territory inperatively demand some bet
ter form OF government than now exists
there. and
"lnasmuch as Indian lands will be al

the territory OF Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory in one state. not. however. be-
fore March 4, 1907. such state 10 be known
