AT all target practices there may be as
sembled on deck the necessary allowance

rife gun shall be taken out OF its tank nor

diately before it is required for loading.
For guns using fixed ammunition and for
guns using separate powder charges put up

SENSATION
IN PACKERS
HEARING

Chicago. Jan. 2o.-John H. Miller. who
opened the case for the packers continued
his preliminary statement In the United
States court yesterday. He created some
thing OF sensation by stating that he
would prove by the admissions of Corpor-
alton Commissioner Garfield while on the
stand that the packers were entitled TO
immunity from prosecution.
lie declared further that last MARCH
Commissioners Garfield declared that No
would consider the seeking OF facts by his
agents I'm the offices OF the packers as IL
they had been developed before him per
sonally and had been presented In his
presence at a formal hearing.
Commissioners Garfield. who was I'm the
court room when the statement was made,
began writing rapidly on a pad of paper.
taking notes OF the statements made by
Mr.. Miller.
Mr.. Miller In his opening speech said:
"A meeting was held at the Chicago
club I'm this city on April 49, 1905. between
Commissioner Garfield. L. c. Krautoff and
Samuel McRoberts. The question arose as
10 the relations 10 exist between Commits
sioner Garfield and the packers II the in
vestigaton was to be In the~proper line OF
inquiry.
'Mr. Garfield said the question OF what
the government was or was not entitled
10 might come up. and II II did he said he
would settle II. He said he desired TO con-
duct an investigation. but without violat-
ing any rights OF privacy
THE question arose as 10 the method Of
getting information and how the work ot
the agents OF the commissioner would be
considered. Mr. Garfield replied that the
information would be the same as II the
defendants had testified before him per-
sonaly."
The attorney then contended that under
the law. although the packers were not
sworn, and IL was the order OF Commits
sioner Garfield that they should not be.
the evidence OF the men was no less evil
dence and within the immunity law.
When Miller had concluded his address
he was followed by George w. Brown, al
so for the packers.
Attorney Brown I'm his opening state
ment referred 10 the magnitude Of the
business done by the packers and their
privilege 10 have in Chicago what he call
cd the stock centre OF the world" a
right TO protection.
Mr. Brown then entered upon de-
scripton OF the business OF the packers
and OF the stock yards. He went at great
length into the details OF the investiga-
tion conducted by Commissioner Garfield.
During the recess Of the court. Commits
sloner Garfield was asked II he would
make a statement concerning the remarks
OF Attorney Miller. and replied:
81 would rather not talk of the matter.
| am n witness in this case and do not
care to DISCUSS II before l am called I
do not care 70 say whether I can explain
this matter or not"
