Packers Fight
fo1 Army Trade
Armours Pick Up the Gauntlet
Thrown Down by Independent
Company Over Contract.

The Armour Packing company does not
propose to relinquish It's opportunity to sup
ply tho several hundred thousands Of
pounds OF fresh beef to Fort L~eavenworth
and the military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth, even though the contract has al
ready been awarded to the 3. g. H. Pack
ing company OF L~eavenworth by the pur-
chasing commissaFy Of the army for that
district.
The B. & II. Packing company was the
lowest bidder, and the contract was
awarded to that mpa and approved
by the War department.
The Armour company inteTposes the OBJ
lection that the b. & H. company has not
complied with the government requirements
that all fresh meats furnished the army
must be subjected to government inspec-
ton In the abattoirs by the regularly ap-
pointed government inspectors, without
reference to the inspections made by the
purchasing commissaries OF the army.
The b. & H. Packing company Of Leav-
enworth is an independent packing com.
pany. but the independent companies do
not come under the government inhibition
OF federal inspection.
The matter is now in the hands Of the
secretary OF war. and a pretty war is
liable 70 be Instituted against the indepen-
dent packers in the matter of government
contracts.
Should the contention Of the Armour
company prevail It would shut out all in
dependent packers from competing for gov
eminent business.
The Independent packers are taking the
matter al and are backing the b. & H.
company OF L~eavenworth In the fight on
the same ground that the government has
decided against the purchase OF commits
sary supplies for the army from manu-
featuring organizations controlled by the
trusts.
This rule was recently applied IN the case
OF the purchase OF the tobacco supplies
for the army. wherein all proposals from
tobacco firms under control OF the Amer
lean Tobacco trust were turned down. and
the tobacco supplies were only purchased
from firms outside the trust

the banks hold Ian ample surplus re- serve" and, until April at least, "mon- ey should be plentiful at moderate rates. The outlook for stocks is not very fattering," for ''prices are still too high to attract the investor" In concluding his review, MT. Clews says:
 The huge operations projected by some of our great railroad magnates, attractive as they may seem from their point of view, do not inspire con- fidence in conservative financial cir cles, where such transactions excite both distrust and jealousy. Nor are they likely to be welcomed in politi- cal circles, where they are sure to be regarded as inimical to public well fare. It would be we'll for these gen. tlemen to pause in their proceedings if they wish to avoid Q fresh outbreak of hostile public opinon, winch until very recently they were only too anxious to placate. If they do not halt and con- sider consequences, they will surely invite more rigid Government regula- tion than is now exercised. Then we shall have fresh outcry about con- f1scatory legislation, etc.; and who will be responsible for such an uprising?

DANGER IN DELAY Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for Bridge port People to Neg
 lect.

The great danger of kidney troubles is that they get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health is gradually undermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness sore ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropy, diabetes and Bright's disease follow in merciless succession. Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure the kid- neys with the certain and safe remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which has cured people right here in Bridgeport
 Thomas McDonald, 70 Elm St., Bridgeport, Conn.,, says: 1T have used Doan's Kidney Pills on several occa- sions and must say that they have lived up to every claim made for them. Some months ago I began to suffer from backache. The least bit of stopping or any over-exertion caused my back to ache intensely. I knew that my kidneys were at fault and when I was advised to try Doan's Kid neys Pills, did so. After taking the contents of few boxes, I was entirely relieved of my suffering and have had no return of the backache since Should my kidneys ever become dis ordered again. I would at once resort to Deans Kidney Pills. knowing that they would bring me relief''

Mayor Lees proposed charter amendment. restoring to the Mayor the power of appointing the City Att torney which was taken from him by the last charter revision, is likely to meet with some opposition. It may be urged that the Mayor holds suffi- cient power already and that it would be unwise to carry this process of cen tralization any further; also, that the Council has now too little power and that it would be unwise to divest it of any power now held; also, that the City Attorney should not be allowed to be- come the mere personal and political adviser of the Mayor, as would assur- edIy become the fact. There are even men who believe that the City Attor- ney should be directly chosen by the people, and this would, in our judg- ment. be preferable to the office be- coming a mere appanage of the May orally.

VIOLET CHARLESWORTH
 FOUND IN SCOTLAND
Claimed to Have Victimized London for
 Thousands of Dollars.
(Special from United Press

London, Jan. 18.-Violet Gordon CharlesWorth, the demure young per- son for whom the police of Scotland and England have been searching for mere than a fortnight on behalf of a large number of tradesmen, financiers and real estate agents whom she is &C., cused of having swindled, has been found in Oban, Scotland.
 It was reported that she had been killeld in an automobile accident but having found this to be false the po- lice picked up the young woman's trail and have been following her move ments through the United Kingdom ever since. The girl at Oban denies that she is the one wanted but the police claim to have identified her be- yond question.
 Representing herself as about to come into a large legacy, Miss Charles worth the daughter of poor me- chanic, managed to wheedle London brokers into speculating in the stock market for her on credit to the ex tent of many thousands of dollars in losses which she still owes and auto mobile dealers, tradesmen and real es- tate agents into advancing her appar- ently unlimited credit

The difference between the hat man. ufacturers and their union employees, which has resulted in a strike, appears to have grown out of the action of a hat company which, having a large factory in one city and a small one in another and paying higher wages in the former than in the latter, trans ferrred the business and most of the employees of the larger factory to the small one and insisted upon paying only the smaller wage scale establish cd in the small factory. To this, the union matters objected and went out on strike. The manufacturers claim that, under the contract, this differ ence, should have been submitted to arbitration. and they, in retaliation for the strike, decided to abandon the use of the union label. In reply, the un- ion .hatters throughout the country went on strike, declaring that the con- tract requirement of notice of label abandonment had been violated.
 It thus appears that each side to the disagreement alleges a breach of contract, against the other. but there is a difference in degree between the two alleged breaches. The one charg- ed upon the matters affected one fac- hat trade. It is asserted, with what degree of accuracy does not yet ap- pear, that the manufacturers have long desired to abandon the union label and having found plausible pretext in this case, have grasped the opportun- ity without giving the required notice.
 The union matters regard label abandonment as a blow at unionism, effect their purpose it will mean the early establishment of the "open sfop". Hence, the ordering out of all union matters.

Banker Clews' review of Wall street conditions is somewhat pessimistic in tone. The usual January rise failed to materialize,'' depriving the bull leaders of their hope that "the Jan- uary investors would come in and in- nocently relieve them of their exces- sive burden" This was probably due to the fact that prices were still too high. the advance in stocks having been excessive and out of all propor- tion to the improvement in general business" There is now, MT. Clews' says. "a cessation of bullish talk the prevalent gossip now being of a bear ish character" There is an "exces- sive output of new bond issues;" the government is withdrawing funds from public depositiories: gold exports haye begun Ion . liberal scale."

 Rome, Jan. 18.-A formal petition was received to-day from the rescu- CTS at Messina requesting that the res- cue work be immediately abandoned owing to the miasmatic condition of the city. The stench arising from the thousands of bodies that have lain in the ruins for three weeks is intoler- able and the rescuers urge that the danger confronting them is of greater moment than the possible rescue of a few more survivors.
 The authorities hesitate to order the withdrawal of the men as a number of influential Sicilians are insisting that the work proceed as long as survivors are still found. It is probable the government will keep the rescuers at work until Wednesday when the city will be temporarily evacuated.

 The Duke of Connaught and the of- fcers of the Illinois, Keorsarge and Wisconsin were on the reviewing stand and they were frequently cheered by the enthusiastic crowds. The Duke tonight will give an officers ball at the Valletta Palace.

Does 1t follow that because Bulke- ley and Hawley supported Brandegee. and Brandegee will support Bulkeley two years hence. Hawley will favor Bulkeley in 1911? The old geometrical axiom that two things which are each equal to third are equal to each oth- CT, does not necessarily apply. Sheriff Hawley may be more amenable to public sentiment in the near future than he was in the late Senatorial contest.

THE KNOX PROBLEM.

Washington, Feb. 10-The question
whether Senator Philander c. Knox of
Pennsylvania is eligible to serve as
secretary of state under President
Tatt's administration or whether the
President-elect will face the disagree
able necessity when he reaches Amer
lean SOIL tomorrow of selecting Il new
premier for his cabinet. confronted all
official Washington today. Although
the first suggestion of the possible con-
stitutional obstacle to the appointment
of Senator Knox as secretary of state
WAS broa chcd yesterday. it was SO late
at night that no one had an opportu-
nifty to consult authorities.
The facts in the case are: Senator
Knox was last elected for a six-year
term which will not expire until March
3, 1871. The constitutions prohibits the
appointment of senator to an office
created or the salary Of which has
been increased, during the term for
which he was elected.
1t Is quite evident that the senator
himself is a good dea! p"rturbed by
tho sprinsing IF this question at this
moment. Without doubt he will have
a message on the wires before Mr..
Taft arrives at New orleans contain
ing his own conclusions regarding his
eligibility to the office of secretary of
state.
Before the day is over there also will
h" Gelveranccs from legal lights in
Washington so that the question
should not long remain unanswered.
Meanwhile Il lay opinion is to the effect
that Mr.. Taft can find a way to make
Senator Knox secretary of state with

States constitution.

friends will base their contention that
