GERMANS EAT DOGS AND HORSES.
Cats Also Sold for Rabbits Owing to
High Price Of Meat.

Berlin. March 21.-That the high
prices Of meat in Germany have driven
some of the kaIser's people to eating
dogs and cats as well as enormous
quantities of horseflesh is the startling
revelation Of the Prussian slaughter
house statistics recently published.
In the course of the last year $1,000
horses and 1,072 dogs We're butchered
for human consumption. PruS-
sian report adds that the number of
dogs reported is VIGOROUSLY far below
the number known to have been artu-
ally killed for meat purposes. Sta
tistics as to cats eaten are not avail
able, but the statisticians assert that
the immense number of thefts of feline
pets without doubt is due to the pre-
v1il;rg custom Of butchering and sell
ing them as rabbits. The increase in
the number of dog thefts is attributed
to the same cause.
The price of meat is now wholly be-
yond the reach of the working, classes.
but the government remains deaf t.
the appeals to open the frontiers to
American and other products. though
such action would Immediately relieve
the situation.

Albany, n. Y, March 21.-The AS
sembly committee or insurance in exc
cutive session late tonight voted 10
report favoraDly to the Assembly to-
morrow with amendments, Assembly
Bill No. 9G4 introduced by the joint
sbecial investigating committee. which
would legislate out of Office on NOV.
Is. next all the directors and trustees
of the mutual insurance companies and

son or committee '- = .
The most important amendment pro-

Sept. Is next will be valid or can be
voted at the recognizing election,
which the bill sets for Nov. Is. "
1t was stated that the amending and
re porting of the bill were at the in
stance of the Investigating committee.
1t is said upon reliable authority
that the reason for he pushing OF this
particular tiH is Che fact that the cleo
ton of trustees for the New York Lie
Insurance Co will occur April II and
it is the desire of the committee that
there may be no question but that TINS
election shall be among those p0stpon-
ed by the act.
According to the same authority the
amended bill will be reported also In
the Senate tomorrow i'll behalf OF the
Armstrong committee and the effort
will be made to press the bill to pas
sage with all possible speed, SO that
IL may be enacted and placed in the
hands of Gov. Higgins early next week.
The amended bill was brought to
Albany tonight by Assemb!yman Prem
ticc of the Investigating committee.
The bin affects .'every domestic mutual
Insurance corporation whether Incorporate

law" and provides that the annual niec-
ton Of every such company which under

All present directors shall hold office I'M

The elections are to be held under the
supervision of the state department of in

their SUCCESSORS.
The directors then elected are required
by the bill To divide themselves by iot
into two classes. one class thereupon he
ing assigned to the one-year term, the
other To hold sofiice for two years.
The amendments do not include the
suggestion of Andrew Hamilton that pres
ent directors and trustees should be dis
qualified for reelection for one year.

Granted Immunity From
Criminal Prosecution
But indictments Against The
Corporations Will Stand.
Defendants Gave Only Information De-
manded by 6oYernmsat.

Chicago, March 21.-Al the meat
packers were indicted by . federal
grand jury last summer on charges Of
conspiracy in restraint of Interstate
trade and commerce, today We're grant
ed immunity from criminal prosecution
under the indictment. While the in
|d.viduals are to go free. the indictments
found against the corporations. Of
which some of tn" indicted packers are
members and others employees, are to
stand.
\ decision to this effect was handed
down today by Judge Otis J. Humphrey
in the United States District Court.
Judge Humphrey reviewed the case
at length and concluded as follows:
Under the law in this case. the i'm
nunity pleas filed by the defendants
will be sustained as TO the individuals,
and denied to the corporations, and the
jury will ird in favor of the govern
ment as FAR as the corporations are con-
ccTned, and against the government as
far as the individuals are concerned"
The jurors who had been excluded
from the court room during the argu-
mentS made in the case returned (,
verdict in accordance with the di-
rectionS of the court.
Part of Judge Humphreys decision
follows:
1.-The defendants are indicted under
the sherman act, charged with a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade. They
have pleaded that as to them that act
should be suspended because they were
compelled to furnish evidence concern
tn< bn y,n f,f.
under the law such furnishing Of evil
dence gives them immunity. The law
under consideration, for the cOnStruc-
ton Of which the court is called upon to
decide, is the commerce and labor act.
THE act is Il substitute for one of the
most cherished rights of the American
citizen which is the right to remain
silent when questioned about any sub
ject, the answer TO which might i'll
crimiG0te him.
1T is contended that the defendants
in this case We're volunteers because
they haggled with Garfield at times,
debated resisted, gave less than he
asked and withheld something. The
record does show that but the fact re-
mains that every approach was made
by the government.
"NGW since the defendants volunteer
cd nothing but gave only what was de-
manded by an officer who had tho right
to make the demand and gave in good
faith dnGer q sense Of fegarion colnpul-
sion. am Of the opinion that they
We're entitled to immunity" ---'''.''''

INCREASE IN DUTIES.
Turkish Customs Complicated by
Americas Attitude.

COnstantinople. March 21.-The ques-
ton Of an increase in the Turkish
customs duties is being badly compli-
Gated by the attitude of the United
States. Hitherto negotiations have
been conducted exclusively by the
porte and the six embassies. much to
the annoyance of most Of the other
missions, which claim that they have
right TO be consulted in a matter
which concerns them as much as it
does the embassies Of the great powers.
SIT is bad enough" some of them
say, that the ambassadors should pro-
pose to ray for their reforms in
Macedonia by allowing the Turks 10
increase their duties on our goods as
Well as their own. The least they
could do would be to make pretense
of consulting US in the matter
This feeling found expression in n
conversation which the American min
lstef has had With Tewfik Paslla MI
Leishman warned the foreign minister
that the consent of the United States
government would have to be obtained
before increased duties could BE- levied
upon American goods, and that the
United States government was not
likely To assist Turkey in this way I'M
ii! tho porte carried out the engage
ments which il had mad" with the
United States, but had 50 far moi even
attempted IL fulfill.
In diplomatic circles it is doubted
how far the United States is justified
In taking this lire. In some quarters
it is maintained that in such matters
the United States, like most other
countries, derive their rights from the
most favored nation clause and lose
them VIXEN the original treaties are al
tered. which can he done without there
being any need to consult the govern
ments to which Turkey has extended
treatment. 1t is not likely, however,
that the Americans will DE restrained
by a consideration of this kind from
making their voices heard on q queS-
ton wh'ch concerns their trade.
The United Stetcs has a freer hand
than the other powers. which are
afraid that ii refusal to grant the 3 per
cent. increase will compromise the
prospects OF the financial commission
established with so much trouble in
Macedonia. while Americans have, of
course, OH share in the responsibility
tor the creation and the maintenance
of that body. and do not feel bound to
consider how their action may affect
