SUPREME COURT DEF|ED

The Beef Trust defies the Supreme
Court Of the United States every day
Of Its existence.
II defies and violates the permanent
injunction granted against 1t by the
highest court Of the country January
30, 1905.
And such Is Its power for harm. that
no official can be found who wilp stand
up for what the United States Supreme
Court decreed on behalf Of the people.
The Beef Trust continues Its exist
ence as combination In restraint Of
trade and commerce.
1t continues to fix and to maintain
throughout the country uniform and
exOrbltant price for meat In defiance
Of the mandate Of the highest court
In the land.
The temporary injunction issued by
Judge Peter 3. GrOssc,ip May 90. 1902.
against the Beef Trust was made per-
manent by the United States Supreme
Court In decision announced Janu-
ary 80. 1905. The decision establishes
these points:
Traffic In live stock transported from
State to state Ii Interstate commerce
ana persons engaged In buying and
selling such live stock IRE engaged In
Interstate commerce.
The combination between dealers to
suppress NIL competition In the pur'
chase Of live stock IL an unlawful re-
straint of trade.
The combination between dealers to
AZ and maintain uniform price In
the sale OF meat throughout the cOun.
try Is an unlawful restraint Of trade.
The combination OF dealers to oh.
tain preferential railroad rates, IL an
unlawful restraint Of trade.
All combinations suppressing compe'
titiOn between independent dealers fall
under the prohibition Of the Sherman
Antitrust Act.

MAYS DISMISSED.
Honey Says He Cannot Convict Him
of Conspiracy.

| Portland, Jan. 27.-Franklin Pierce
Mays. exstate senator, was the princi-
pal witness for the government satur.
day in the Hall-Mays conspiracy case
in the Federal court. A treacherous
and failing memory prevented the wit
ness from positively associating his va
rious conversations with Hall and the
dates OF the letters that passed between
them. Probably the most damaging
evidence against Hall. adduced from
the witness, was his identification OF a
letter written by himself to Steiwer in
which Mays told of his successful efforts
in dissuading Hall from instituting
criminal proceedings against the men,
bers of the Butte Creek company for
unlawful fencing.
Before Mays WAS called into the court
room, Heney announced that he wished
the indictment dismissed against Mays,
who vas co-defendant with Hall and
Edwin Mays. In making this request
OF the court, Heney said that he did
not consider that the government was
in possession of sufficient evidence with
which to convict Mays Of the alleged
conspiracy. Later in the examination
OF Mays, Heney repeated the declara.
tion he made before, that it was not
his intention to prosecute Mays on any
OF the other remaining indictments
against him because of his physical
condition. Judge Hunt consented to
the dismissal Of the Indictment and at
the same time exonerated the bond
Mays had furnished. Mays was then
sworn as a witness for the prosecution.
Charles B. Moores, ex-register of the
Oregon City land Office, will undoubted-
~ be witness for the government be-
fore the prosecution closes its case
either today or tomorrow. Just what
Moores will testify can only be con-
jectured.

POLICE Rour MOB.



Chicago, Jan. 24.--An attempt of
Socialists to bring about march
the unemployed" through the down
town streets today resulted In two
sharp fights with the police in which
the would-be marchers were routed
after number Of men had been club
bed. DIR. B. L. Reitman, the originator
OF the plan to march through the
streets, and two Of his followers, were
arrested. For several days Reitman,
who is Socialist, had been making
announcements of his intention to hold
a parade OF "hobos" and "unemploy-
ed" despite the warning given by Chief
OF Police shipy that no march through
the streets would be permitted. Reit-
man continued to defy the authorities
and last night thousands Of circulars
were distributed through the downtown
saloons and in the lodginghouee dis
trict, calling upon all men out OF work
to assemble at 2 O'Clock on the lake
iront. The policemen early in the day
reiterated their statement that the
march would not be permitted, and d.
rected that all the police force be held
in reserve at the various stations.

HENDRICKS Is
AGAINST HALL
Tells Of Plot to Hold Political Club
Over SteIwer.
Zachary and Hendricks Confess eon'
spiracy Charges Arc Trus-sss'-
wc~ Also Is Expected to Testify
AGAINST tial.--Wsrs indicted joint
N With Ex-pistrict Attorney.

Portland. Jan. 28.-6ensational and
damaging testimony against John d.
Hall was given yesterday by Hamilton
Il. Hendricks, who testified that In
May, 1900, he had suggested 70 Hall
that Hall use his knowledge of illegal
fencing by Steiwer and his associates as
: political club over W. w. 6teiwer.
At the morning session Hendricks,
who was co-defendant with Hall and
Mays, entered a plea Of guilty to the
conspiracy indictment. Late in the
afternoon Hendricks was called to the
stand, and bis testimony, following
that OF number OF minor Witnesses
who preceded him, had the effect OF a
thunder storm on clear summer after
noon. While Hendricks recitcd the
story Of his interview with Hall In
1900, the ex district attorney could not
repress commingled expression Of sur
prise and pain. With drawn features
and clenched jaws he scrutinised the
witness as the story Of the inception Of
his alleged unofficial relations with the
unlawful fencing monopoly was related.
The accused ex- Federal official soon re-
gained the interested and semi hopeful
expression that has characterized him
from the beginning Of the trial, md
court adjourned for the day after the
sensational statements Of Hendricks.
Clarence B. Zachary, who yesterday
entered plea Of guilty to the conspir-
acy charge, was foreman Of the Butte
Greek company. He was a prominent
figure in experimenting the different
schemes that we're Matched by his asso-
ciatos.
Mr.. Heney expects to complete the
governments case probably tomorrow
afternoon and not later than Saturday.
Hendricks will be on the stand during
the morning session, possibly part OF
the afternoon today, and will he fol-
lowed by Clarence B. Zachary. Mr..
Heney last night would not discuss the
probability that W. W. Steiwer would
be called as witness for the govern
ment, neither would he admit that
Steiwer would follow the lead of his as
sociates, Hendricks and Zachary, OF the
Butte Greek company, and plead guilty.

Washington. Jan. 28.--In bis annual
report Land Commissioner Ballingsr rec
commended the abolition OF the present
system Of making public land surveys

congress TO authorize the employment
BY the government OF competent sur
veyors, whose sole duty shall be the
surveying and resurveyine Of public
lands. Representative Mitchell. OF
Wyoming, chairman Of the house COM
mittee on public lands, has introduced
bill In the house giving the commits
sioner authority to employ such sur
veyors Tor the purpose stated, but Al
lowing him also to use his discretion ~
to the advisnbiiity OF making part OF
the surveys under the old contract sys.
tenn.
There are some surveyors on govern
ment work who have pr, duced satisfac-
tory results, but the chief criticism OF
the old contract system Ia that 1t
wastes great deal OF time, and re-
quirss two or three years from the
time Of application to get given tract
surveyed and the survey accepted. The
Mondell bill will form the basis OF
whatever legislation congress may at
tempt on the subject this winter.

Snow.
New York. Jan. 26.--New York ie
digging itself ont Of foot OF snow 90
unevenly divided that while exposed
and unfrequented spots like Coney is
land have been blown bare, the
thoroughfares Of tho millions are left
piled high with drifts that impede the
progress OF man and beast and in the
open districts have tied up streetcars
and vehicles. Mercifully, the snow
was acco npanied by moderate tempera
ture and in it's early stages VAS well
coined by the honest part of the S6 900
unemployed men in the city. All who
sought employment from last midnight
found II readily and at good wages.
The street cleaning department requir-
ed 10000 shovelers, the traction COM
panies as many more, and thousands Of
others earned many dollars from house
holders by cleaning of walks.
Probably the sharpest distress was
experienced by several thousand genuine
trsmps who, having ridden into town
on the hardtimes wave and since en-
joyed the city's bounty, swcke today 10
hnd themselves confronted with an I'M
mistaksble opportunity to work. Some
rose to the occasion, and others shifted
