Humane Methods.
To the Editor Of The Star:

I.hesItate to write what in a sense has
the appearance of meddling in the affairs
of others, but l am constrained to ask
again for little space in the interest OF
our faithful animal. the horse. For the
next few weeks, when tens of thousands
of our people return to the city the
horses used in transferring baggage will
have very heavy work. If we will be jus,
bit considerate and not be insistent
upon the immediate delivery of baggage
that can be done without for a time we
may save a very tired. but willing ami
NAL. To require an already tired horse
to haul. a heavy load to the farther parts
OF the city is hard indeed. We under.
stand, or course that a reasonable degree
of promptness in the delivery of baggage
Is necessary to avoid congested condi.
tons about the express Offices and bag.
gage rooms.
If some of the drivers of heavily loaded
teams OF all kinds would rest their horses
occasionally on the sleeper grades the
animals would look better and wear
longer. Any man who has done heavy
physical labor knows how much he is
benefited by an occasional breathing
spell when under severe physical strain
In many ways horse is not different
from a man. Perhaps on the general
average he shows little better sense in
that he never gets drunk never NEEDLES
In the AFFAIRS of others and never writes
his name In the newspapers.
somewhere l have seen a mechanical
appliance by which a block of wood was
dropped back of the wheel by the drive,
when he cared to rest on a steep grade
It Is to be regretted that more Of oul
heavy vehicles are not equipped with
brakes. Twenty-Five cents expended In
material for brakes will save twenty-five
dollars IN horse feed, and the horse viii

from holding load on the down grade

journey.
Edwards and his goats made the trip
from San Diego to Washington in 251
days. and the ranchmen expected TO make
the return trip in 49, days. But between
Cumberland, Nd. and Uniontown, Pa,
Capt. Edwards became i'll and was taken
to a hospital in Uniontown.
Capt. Edwards was a cripple His legs
had been paralyzed since he was four
years old. but he had been able TO get
about and run a ranch the greater part
of his life.
The object of his long, slow trip to
Washington was to interest the govern
ment officials in the angora goat, which
many of the westerners believe will do
much to aid in the development Of the
country.

At this, some of the opponents OF the
King administration dug up an old order
that prevented federal employees from
holding either state or municipal ONCE
1t was issued by President Grant In 1913
and probably was one of the necessary
measures of reconstruction days. The
reason for the order had long since passed
away, it was believed, but when the case
was presented to the civil service com
mission it said the order was still very
much alive and that If 1t were omcially
presented the commission must take its
wording literally, and the acceptance OF
a state or municipal Office by federai
ernnIoye would be considered tantamount
TO his sending in his resignation

PACKERS RESOLVE TO
TEST THE TRUST LAW
Seven Indicted Dealers in
Chicago Give Bond Re-
CURED by Court.

CHICAGO, September 14.-Seven Of the
ten officers of Chicago meat-packing COM
panies, indicted Monday by a federal
grand jury for violation of the Sherman
| antitrust law, appeared in the federal
court yesterday afternoon and gave bond
for their appearance.
Each defendant was obliged to furnish
three bonds for $1,000 each. The three
| men who failed to furnish bail are Louis
F. Swift, president of Swift & Co., who is
in Europe; Thomas ]. Connors, superin-
tendent of Armour & Co. who is now re-
turning from Europe, and Francis A.
Fowler, department manager of Swift &
Co. who is ill.,
Judge Lands, at the morning session Of
court. ordered bench warrants issued for
the defendants, but after attorneys for
the absentees explained why they had
failed to appear in court the order was
recalled.
Personal Bonds Given.
The packing company officers appeared
in court with their attorneys. All refused
to discuss the indictments. All gave per-
sonal bonds signed by men who scheduled
real estate in Cook county. Surety bonds
were refused by Judge Lands year ago.
1t is said that the packers will make no
plea until the return from Europe of
Louis F.. Swift. Then a conference prob
ably will be held by the indicted men.
While no person representing the pack
ers would make a statement today, it was
reported at the federal building that the
accused meat packers had decided to
make a thorough test OF the present
cases. Without admitting that there eX-
lists any combination contrary to the
Sherman law, they will, according to
this report. contend that 1t is impossible
to conduct the packing house business
on different lines and that any association
of the packing companies in holding
company is one by which the consumer is
the chief beneficiary

George E. King of the forest service, who
has been elected mayor of Vienna, Va,
and who it was at first thought would not

President Taft said in settling the case

What 800 Did.

Recently | visited a farmhouse
that has been treated to just such a
general line of improvement and the
results were acquired with an expen-
diture of so few dollars that | wish
others could see and appreciate what
has been accomplished. Originally
the house was a four-room house,
two rooms up stairs and two down
stairs, and for years the kitchen and
dining room were maintained in an
old log house in the back yard. The
housewife had kept up the daily
round of house work in this incon-
venient fashion for forty years, per-
haps. The young people in this farm
home have felt for some time that
the best, most strengthening kind
of housekeeping could not go on In
this fashion. No member of the fam
lily felt the out-of-date, hard con-
dition more than the son, who Is now
the head of the house. So about this
season just year ago, plans were
drawn for the addition of an up-to-
date kitchen and dining room, with
porches. The work progressed
throughout the winter when farm
work would permit, and I might add
that this farmer conducts the entire
farm work without the aid OF hired
help Two delightful. airy, well-fn-
ished rooms and two porches are the
result of the winters industry. II Is
interesting to note that all the labor
