and political world that did the din
ner and reception given by Ambassador

and Mrs. Nicholas IIongworth, and at
which King Edward, by his presence
and attention to President Roosevelt's
daughter marked his esteem for the
United States and the chief executive.
Park Lane in the vicinity Of Dorchester
house drew immense crowds as the
carriages Of distinguished kuests
passed through the fashionable thor.
oughfare to the residence which, since
Mr.. Reid took 1t a year ago, has well
coined the most famous Englishmcn
and visiting Americans and foreigners.
In many respects, however, the gath

for beside King Edward, who was at
tended by Lord Granard, Lord in Wait
ing, there was present many distin-
guished personages.
Dinner was served in the main din
ing hall, which contains many valued
paintings for which Dorchester house
Is famous and which no scheme of
establishment could improve. King
Edward took out Mrs. Reid and at the
kings desire Mrs. Longworth was
seated at the other side Of him, thus
taking precedence of the duchesses.

Of Marlborough, with the Duchess Of
Buccleuch on his left TSsre was

PACKERS GUILTY.
A Jury In the Federal Court Finds
They Have Accepted Rebates
from Burlington.
FINES OF $1,000 TO $4,000


Kansas City, Mo-, June IA fur,
In the United States court returnet
verdicts Tuesday morning finding tn,
Armour Packing company, Nelson
Morris & Co., The Cudahy Packing
company and Swift G Co., guilty O.
having accepted concessions, other.
wise called rebates, from the Chicago
Burlington & Quincy railway. The Jury
was 40 minutes in reaching a verdict
barely time enough to read the in.
structions, which were lengthy, AMI
sign the papers prepared in each of the
four cases.
The verdicts are against the corpora,
lions, not individuals. The statutes
under which convictions were obtained
provides for fines of not less than
$1,000 or more than $4,000 for each
count The indictments in the -four
cases contain one count each, SO that
none of the packing companies can be
fined more than $4,000.
Judge Mcpherson will not announce
the fines to be imposed until some time
next week. Before this is done counsel
FOR the convicted corporations will
prepare motions for new trials and
these being denied, as they are expect.
ed to be, appeals are to be taken tc |
the United States circuit court of ap.
peals.
The government had expected the
court to direct the jury to return
verdict one way or the other. Under
the law the court could do this or
leave the matter to the Jury to decide.
Judge Mcpherson chose to let twelve
men settle the questions ut issue, but
his instructions were go definite in
removing the strongholds upon which
the defense had relied for a verdict of
not guilty that their reading left lit
tie doubt in the minds of spectators
as to the outcome.
The attorneys for the packing COM
panies had contended that their con-
.ract with the Burlington railway for
twenty-three cent rate was sacred
lgainst the amended tariff Of thirty-flve
,ents which the general public was ?
made to pay They spent hours talk %
ng on this one point. Judge McPher- y
on disposed of this point in a few
words by declaring the contract i'm {
Material and that It was made wrong Q
ully, and in defiance of law.

Ernest M. Maynard. of Boston, Wants
 Pay for Designing Theaters.

worcester, Mass, Aug. 1l-Some interesting facts regarding recent theatrical enterprises of s. z. Poli have become public property, as the result of suit filed in the superior court to-day by Ernest M. Maynard, an architect with headquarters in Boston. For some years, 1t is said, MT Maynard has been MT Polls arch itect, but from the filing of the suits 1t would appear that their business relations have been broken of, tenn porarilly at least. The suit is for $10, 1000,
 MT Maynard alleges that he has not been compensated, except in a small way, for his services in pre- pairing plans for the construction of MT Polls new theaters in this city and New Haven. and for plans pre- pared for alterations and improve ments in his Bridgeport theater
 According to statement filed in the court here to-day, the New Ha- ven theater cost MT Poli exactly $98,52435, and the Worcester house $44.923.54. Changes in the Bridge port house cost him just $2,1O6.7S, not including the big alterations of a couple of seasons ago. According to the specifications of the suit, Poli owes Maynard $5,187.73 for his ser vices.
 The plaintiff say he has for long time been an architect, and that he has made reasonable charge for his services. In each case he has charged 5 percent of the amount of the work. This makes his claim for work on the New Haven theater s4,926.22. He says that MT Poli has paid him of that amout only SLIGO.
 His charge for work on the Wor- cester theater is $2,246.17, and he says that MT Poli has made a few payments on that bill. He further says that nothing whatever has been paid him for his services in connec- tion with the work on the Bridge port theater.
 Incidentally MT Maynard has bill for $175 for car fare between Boston and New Haven, and one of S66 for car fare between Boston and Wor- cester. A trip from Boston to Jersey City is charged up at $35.

THEATRICAL
 CHATTER

cfent power to turn over. After q half dozen revolutions, the motor be- gan to pour out great volumes of smoke. Vesuvius, which Ade has re- gently visited, was poor imitation of that motor according t6 the hu- morist. The smoke came so thick and so fast, Ade did not wait to in vestigate, the cause. Holding nose and mouth to prevent suffocation, he made wild dash for the outside, where he was instantly joined by the garage attendants. Some excited person, seeing the clouds of black smoke issuing from the garage door, rang the town bell and the volunteer firemen came from stores and offices. In trice, the brigade was on hand, but the report had spread that gas- olene tank had exploded and there was another about to go up; this checked the ardor of the volunteers so they stood at a respectful dis tance and poured a tiny stream of water on the sides of the garage, from tho hand engine.
 Ade divining in part the cause of commotion. stood as near the door as he could, and breathe, and could hear his motor puffing spasmodically for time. then a few fitful grunts and it stopped. Gradually the clouds of smoke cleared away and he ven- tured inside.
 \ careful investigation disclosed the fact that the green attendant had squirted three or four gallons, all there was on hand, of thick dope" into the engine base and put a few drops of cylinder oil into the plane tary transmission case. According to Ade that garage boy could be trusted to deliver chunks of dynamite to his sweetheart in place of marsh mellows.
