PACKERS ARE PLAYING
FOR MORE TIME

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 6.--At-
torney General Bonaparte today ask
ed the supreme court of the United
states to advance on its docket the
cases Of the United States VS.. the Ar
mour, the Swift the Morris and the
Cudahy packing companies, in each
of which a fine Of $4,000 was inn
posed by the United States district
court for the western district of Mis-
souri,, on the charge of accepting re-
bates from the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad company on beef
shipments from Kansas City, Kan,
to Europe.
The companies are making their
fight on the ground that the Mis-
souri, court was without jurisdiction
and Mr.. Bonaparte says that If the
supreme court should so hold, then
it will be necessary for the govern
ment to institute proceedings in the
district OF Kansas where the pro-
duets described in the indictments
we're received by the railroads for
transportation. The statute OF limi-
tations will run against the offenses
charged In the indictments some time
next August. Unless, therefore, the
cases be heard and determined at the
present term of the court, the de-
PENDANTS probably viii escape pros
ecution altogether in the district In

Washington, Dec. 6.-With the an

"A good many folks" said De
Graw today, "see no harm in writing
a message of good cheer-some Yule

card in a package of Merchandise,
but such is a distinct violation of

"The department is lenient with

vision that the postOffce inspector

the offender by fining him $40. 9th
erwise the matter would be brought

Plttsburg, Pa, Dec. Ga terrific
and disastrous explosion occurred
today at mines Nos. 6 and of the

Mine superintendent Malone says
that at least 500 men are entombed

Immediately upon receipt of the

scene from Fairmont.

of gas to permit the rescuers to en-

The explosion was heard for forty
miles around and window glasses
were broken ten miles away. The
whole country is fiocking toward the
scene of disaster. The families OF
the entombed miners are lowering
about the smoking shafts, women are
weeping for husbands and sons and
children cling to their skirts crying.
Many of the miners homes near
the mines are wrecked as result of
the explosion and this makes a hor-

Day after day we marched over

decided to make a horseback tour OF
Maryland. After being out for a
few days he was struck with the
number of towns in that State which
had claim to historic interest. The
principal brag of the various villages
through which he passed was that
Washington at one time or another
had been a guest of the leading citi-
zen. or that the first President had
spent the night at the local tavern.
The claims of the Marylanders be-
came so monotonous to the Phila-
delphian that when one evening, af-
ter lOng days ride, he was about TO
dismount from his weary horse, he
noticed opposite the hotel that he
had picked out an ornate bronze tab
let with the name President Wash
ington," in big, raised letters ON 1t,
he was moved to ridicule. Turning
TO the proprietor, who was standing
near the curbstone, he said: "You
Maryland people make me tired with
your everlasting claim to have been

ishment, was; This is the only town
