SHY ON FACTS
Cannot Say Whether He Owns Stock
In Now Famous Kenwood Company
Furthermore Ignorant Concerning
Manner Federal Agents Secured
Certain Information.
by Associated Press]

Chicago, Feb. 1-Cross examination
of Edward F. Swift occupied almost
the entire day in the packers case.
District Attorney Morrison delivered
his question with the speed of a rapid
fire gun, but did not succeed at any
time in embarrassing the witness, who
considered each reply carefully.
The witness declared that Commits
sioner Garfield was given all informa-
tion he asked for, but several times
admitted that he could not tell wheth-
er certain specific information had
been given government agents.
Swift testified that he did not know
whether he was stockholder in the
KenWood company, concern which
the government declares was formed
to control the output of by-products.
His attorneys asserted that the Ken
wood company was not in business at
the time mentioned by District Attor-
ney Morrison, and the latter declared
with much energy that he would show
that the Kenwood company was in op-
GRAFTON at the time the indictment
against the packers was returned.
Other witnesses were Louis F
Swift, president of Swift & Co., and
Jesse P Lyman of Boston, former
president of the National Packing
company. The testimony of neither
was sensational.
Lyman was still on the stand wher
court adjourned.

THREE KILLED MANY HURT
Vessel Ready to Sail for Manila Mar
rowIy Escapes Destruction.
[By Associated Pressl

, Fear of an explosion prevailed but
this did not deter the firemen, who
knew that there was large quantity
of ammunition on board. Eighty thou
sand dollars in gold, being carried as
military treasure to Manila, was res
cued from the ship and guarded by
| soldiers. Lines of soldiers also
guarded the entrance to the dock.
Captain Dakin lost his life because
of his unflinching resolution and
dauntless courage in fighting the fire.
His body was found at the foot of a
ladder and carried out. Other fire.
men stated that Dakin had come out
of the hold alive after entering it, and
it is believed that, enfeebled as he was
by his first attempt, he still manfully
rushed back to the place of danger. 1t
| is thought he may have been drowned
in the hold.
The cause of the fire is unknown, al
though many theories have been ad-
vanced.
Major Devol, chief of the transport
service here, is making an investiga-
tion. A rumor that the fire was part
of a plot to blow up the Meade has
found no confirmation.
The surprising fact developed late
today that the property loss amounted
to only $25. This was the estimate
made by Major Deyol. When the
water has been pumped from the hold
and the debris removed it was ascer-
tanned that the fire had been con-
fined to a space about six feet square.
There was very little flame, the fire
being of the smouldering variety that
emitted great volumes of smoke.
There were fears that some of the Of
ficers' effects had been destroyed, but
investigation showed these goods to
be safe.
1t is believed by some of the officers
that the fire was due to spontaneous
combustion of gun, oil and cotton
Rifles were in the vicinity of the fire
and it is thought that after cleaning
the weapons the men had carelessly
tossed the oil soaked waste into a
heap.
A board of inquiry has been appoint
ed to make investigation.
1t is thought by officers of the trans
port service that the Meade will sail
| for Manila Sunday.

CONTINUE TO RESIST
French Catholics Still Opposing Gov

Their Churches-Force is Used.
[By Associated Press]

Paris, Feb. 1.-Everywhere in
France the actual putting into opera
tion of the clause of the church and
state separation bill which provides
for the making of inventories of prop
erty of the churches has aroused a
storm of protests.
In several provincial parishes Ro-
man Catholics have gathered in the
churches and made such strong resist
ance that the government commits
sioners were unable to enter the edl-
fees, also in Paris today in several
churches, notably those of st. Roche
and ST. Clothilde. An inventory OF the
property of the church of st. Roche
has not been made, owing to the op-
position of the congregation, but the
defenders of the church of st. Clo-
thilde succumbed before the energetic
assault of an armed force, which act
ed on the avowed intention OF the
government to use every means at its
disposal to compel obedience to the
enactment

REFUSE TO SIGN
Operatives of Central Competitive Dis
trict Reject Operators UItimatum-
Anticipating Serious Trouble Meet
ing Takes Steps to Double Amount
Now in Treasures of Organization.
[By Associated Pressl

Indianapolis, Feb. 1.-Rejection of
the counter proposition offered by the
coal operators of the central compet-
tive district by an almost unanimous
vote of the national convention of the
United Mine Workers and adoption of
a resolution offered by Secretary w.
d. Ryan of Illinois, placing the miners
on record as refusing to sign an agree
ment for the mining district until the
agreement was signed for all districts,
has created situation which may re-
suit in the disruption of the joint
agreement and possibly one of the
greatest strikes of organized labor the
country has ever known.
The action was taken during the
session of the miners national conven-
tion which was called to order after
the joint scale committee reported
that it had been unable to reach an
agreement on any of the principal
questions.
f. L. Robbins of Pittsburg told Pres
ident Mitchell that the operators had
no further proposition, concluding his
remarks with the statement that il
there was to be an interruption of the
joint agreement he wished the respon-
sibility to be placed upon the miners
The operators ultimatum provided
for the signing for another year OF the
present wage scale, with certain modi'
fications to reimburse the Illinois
operators for the expense incurred
under the "shot f1rers" bill now effect
i've in that state.
Much enthusiasm was manifested in
the convention, but the big step was
taken will all due gravity. Voices
were heard counseling further consul
tation with the operators, but these
same voices acknowledged that little
could be expected from such confer
ence, and declared their constituents
willing to abide by the verdnct of the
convention.
Immediately following the rejection
of the operators proposal the conven
ton set about to provide fund OF
$6,5OO,O00, in addition to like amount
now in the treasures of the miners
organizations. Then, as if to set ar
irrevocable seal upon their position
the national convention adjourned.
