Submarine Finance.

There was an ancient mariner,
For threescOre years and ten
He'd worked upon a submarine
Until the proud day when
He'd viewed his warlike craft complete,
The happiest Of iner.
The government inspectors came
And maryeled greatly Ger
The wonderful invention that
Was moored down by the shore.
The old inventor glowed with pride
And dreamed of wealth galore.
They sped across the oceans foam,
The men began to think
This craft the great problem had solved,
Its wonders mad them blink
Ia fact, X would do anything
Required of 1t but-sink.
The old man was no ~inanCier;
His purse was not rotund,
He'd just enough to float his craft,
But not a cent beyond.
o see, he'd been nab to
Provide a sinking fund.

Gilded chairs upholstered in crimson

Portraits of former British sovereigns

of great brilliance and splendor.

No Executive Aid for Labor
 Leaders Is In Sight
COURTS MUST FINISH CASE
If Defendants Abandon an Appeal and Accept Sentence Then Roosevelt Can Exercise the Pardon
 ing Power.

Washington December 26.-(Special)- President Roosevelt announced in a state nlent given out by Secretary Loeb that he cannot interfere pending decision on the appeal in the contempt cases and jail sentences imposed on Samuel Com pers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, officers of the American Federation of Labor by Justice Daniel Wright of the District of Columbia court.
 After the appeal is decided and if it should affirm the decision of the lower court the President will be in a position to consider a pardon. Various appeals have been made to the President to in terfere by pardoning in the case of Mir. Gompers and associates Those making appeals are unaware of the fact that the matter is still before the courts. Whether the President thinks or not that the sentence of MT. Gompers and his as sociates is excessive is not at present of consequence as he cannot take any action or express any opinion while the case is pending before the courts When final de- cision Is made then the President can properly consider the case. The courts i,ust finish with the cases first and the defendants are at the present moment at liberty on pail If the defendants see fit to abandon their appeal the matter will then at once he brought before the execu- tive in which case it will receive imme- late consideration, but the defendants have perfect right to prosecute their appeal and If unsuccessful in the final court then to ask for pardon or com mutation.
 It is stated at federation headquarters that the appeal will not be abandoned and no prayer is to be made to the President for a pardon Labor leaders want the questions involved In the case against Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison settled by the highest tribunal. They feel that to call off the appeal would be to confess guilt which they have consistently denied They have been advised by their counsel Alton B. Parker of New York, and by other leading attorneys that the decision of Justice Wright will not hold before the supreme court.

PACKERS CHARGED WITH
 VIOLATING THE LAWS

Chicago, December 6-(Special. .)-More than 150 subpoenas were served today in the federal prosecution of packing house firms for supposed violations of the in terstate commerce laws. The list of men called to appear Monday before the grand jury includes every branch of the busi- ness, but most of the witnesses are from the traffic departments of the railroads and the packers.
 The government has clearly defined theory that a trust exists whereby the Chicago packers control absolutely the supply and the output and the selling and purchasing prices
 But the evidence whereby this may be proved is not in hand. The government depends largely upon admission from the witnesses under oath before the inquisi- tors and with the club of contempt of court hanging over them.
 The procedure is new in that the heads themselves will not be summoned. In this there is a dual purpose. The leaders of

 KIDNAPPING CASE

Hot Springs, Ark, December 26.-Chief of Police Moore was advised tonight that A. F.. Bannister is under arrest at Anna rillo, Tex, and held for officers here un- der warrant charging him with the murder of Mrs. Ada Rechers and the kid naping of Ter 9-year-old daughter and would refuse to return without requisi- tion. A warrant had been forwarded charging murder and Kidnapping
 Mrs. Reichers was murdered in Kirk street cottage here last June after she arrived in the city from Texas, in com pany with three small children. The murderer used machinist's hammer, with which he crushed her skull.
 The murder took place In the after noon, after which two of the small chill dren were carried to Wilmington park and abandoned and the eldest, Swear ol1 girl was kidnapped and taken to Bir- mingham, where she was deserted.

LEFT WELTERING
 IN THEIR BLOOD

Paris, Tex, December 26.-Whether three Italians, living in a railroad board ing car at Soper, Okla, were murdered and the body of one hidden and the others left weltering in their own blood as they were found, or the third killed the two and escaped with their money, is the problem on which the authorities in this section are now at work, following the finding of the two bodies on Christ mas day-one shot and the other showing GO knife wounds.
 The three men, who lived together were employed on bridge gang of the Arkaw. sas and Choctaw railroad and were in the boarding car several days ago
 The authorities are working on the theory that robbery was the object of the murder, as the men were known to have had more money than the small amount discovered with their lifeless bodies.
 No arrests have been made.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-27

any such conspiracy as the government suspects could plead the constitutional privilege of refusing to answer incrim- mating questions.
 It develops that the claim departments of dozen roads east and west have been secured for documents showing re- bates to the packers, especially Morris x Co. These papers are said to bear entries alleging that the rebates are for various claims.
 In this connection the government has procured statistics said to prove that the claims paid are entirely out of proportion with the honest percentage of leakage and breakage for which the railroads re- imburse meat shippers. The theory is, therefore, held that illegal rebates are hidden under the guise Of legitimate causes which did not exist.
 : The government makes little secret of the fact that the corporations which are being investigated are the Morris & Co.,. Swift Co, Cudahy & Co.,, Armour x Co, and the National Packing company

President Roosevelt Is not half so en- thusiastic over his contemplated African trip as when he first conceived the idea of going there for lion and other big game. He expressed his fears of the cli- mate to intimate friends. The heat of the summer, the existence of so many poison- ous insects, and the foulness Of the drink ing water, the inability to secure fruits and fresh vegetables in the wilds of his prospective hunting grounds, all of which he has read about recently tend to give
