LYMAN ALLOWED TO TESTIFY
Company Tells of Conversstion
with MIR. Garfield.

CHICAGO, Feb 2.-Arguments concerning
the admissibility of evidence occupied the
greater part of the day in the packers
case, and at the time of adjournment hut
two witnesses had been upon the stand.
Last night. just prior to the adjournment,
District Attorney Morrison objected to any
statement of Jesse p Lyman of Boston,
former president of the National Packing
company, relative TO any conversation be-
tween Mr.. Lyman and Commissioner Gar
field. He claimed that Mr. Lyman was not
a party to the trial, nor was the National
Packing company, and therefore his evi-
dence as to a plea of immunity should be
ruled cut. Judge Humphrey finally per-
mitted Mr. Lyman to relate the conversa-
ton. 1t did not differ materially from other
conversations of the same kind that have
been previously given.
Late In the day when under cruss-ex-
animation by District Attorney Morrison.
Mr.. Lyman admitted that the National
Packing company had never slaughtered an
animal or made a sale. He declared that
it is a holding company only.

rocco appears to be the main point of the
French program at the Moroccan confer

france has prepared in a liberal spirit to
meet any proposals formulated, but it will

Such is the view expressed in quarters en-
joyng the confidence of the ministers here.
where IL is also affirmed the French dele
gates are determined to await the disclo-
sure OF Germany's proposals before making
known their propositions.
II is argued that this waiting attitude
is justified by tho fact that the desire for
a conference emanated from Germany.
which should therefore take the initiative
in declaring its views. The French cabinet
possesses the unanimous support OF the
country in maintaining the position that
Frances position in Algiers allows il the
right OF predominant voice in Moroccan
affairs. Any other solution Of the confer
ence would be regarded by the country as
display of weakness and the view is gen
orally expressed that a return TO the statu
quo would be preferable

was mistake. He continued:
The promotion of General Bates to sue
ceed General Chaffee leaves a vacancy as
major general. which | understand has al
ready been filled by the promotion OF Gen
eral Greeley. The retirement Of General
Sumner, within few days will make a va
cancy as major general, which will be filled,
l assume, by the promotion of General

eral Bates in April does not make any va
cancy in the grade Of major general be-
cause he will be succeeded by General Cor
bin. who now occupies position which will
cease existence with his promotion to the
grade Of lieutenant general. l. therefore,
assume that / will serve in the grade of

pleasure of the president some time in the
