Armour Counsel Attempting to
Refute Testimony Pre-
viously Given

Chicago, Aug. 17-Alfred r. Urion,
general counsel for Armour and COM
pany, took the witness stand before
Federal Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands IN
an effort to show why he should not
be cited for contempt of court in con-
nection with the federal investigation
of the affairs OF the Armour company.
Whether Mr.. Urion, George NJ. Will
let's, assistant Office manager, w. w.
Shaw, head stenographer and w. A.
Holander, clerk. are adiudged in
contempt, now is said to depend on
their ability to prove that 100 stenog-
raphers' note books ordered brought
before the grand jury were DESTROYED
at the packing plant the day before
August 5, when they were ordered by
the grand jury. instead of the day
after.
+ Employees Of Armour and company
also testified in an effort to refute
testimony they previousl yhad given
as to the date on which the books
were burned. These employees for
merly told the grand jury the books
were destroyed August and 1t was
on this testimony Urion and the 9TH
ers were summoned into court. In
the testimony witnesses declared
they had been mistaken in their pre-
yious testimony and agreed the books
had been destroyed on August 4.
These employees now fix the date on
Thursday on the fact that John Ba-
linski, an assistant janitor, had con-
fided in them that he usually spends
Wednesday evening with young wo-
man. Now the others say they recall
that while burning the books they
had joked Balinski about the young
woman the night before.

RICH BABY IS
Gagged IN STEEL
The Infant Heir to the Mclean
Millions Is Carefully
Guarded

Bar Harbor, Me-. Aug. IA steel
cage on wheels, cunningly wrought
and safeguarded by locks of compli-
Gated design, for the mornings ride
of Vinson Mclean, Americas $780,
100000 baby, is the latest novelty
which two parents have taken to pro-
tect this little heir against kidnapers.
This steel cake perambulator has fol-
lowed as result Of the recent attempt
of burglars to break Into the Edward
Beale Mclean mansion here.
Today curious persons watched the
strange little steel prison in which
this baby now takes his morning 8
airing.
The Mclean baby is guarded as
carefully from all save his nurse and
private detective as If he were a pris-
oner held as hostage. Whenever he
goes out doors he rides in this car
riage cage, padlocked and Pinkerton
detectives armed with the latest
patented firearms follow the nurse to
and fro across the lawn, or wherever
the ride leads.
The strange prison-like baby car
riage is made of wrought steel with an
upper body that automatically locks
with the hood of the vehicle, the body
being set on wheels and the whole
being covered with fine mosquito net
ting. Never for an instant is the child
left without one or more paid attend
ants on guard. Pinkerton detectives,
private watchmen, thirty house serv-
ants and fifty outside retainers are
all enlisted in protecting the child
from kidnapping.
These ironclad precautions for Baby
McLeans safety are felt to be doubly
necessary by both his father and
mother because of the wide publicity
that has been given the child's i'm
n,ense fortune and the consequent
notice that has been given to criminals
of the baby's value" as hostage.
"rhe fact that an unfortunate
amount of publicity has been given
to Vinson naturally makes him a tar
get for criminals" Mr.. Mclean says,
land hence the safety lines must be
drawn around him all the closer.
There is nothing more to fear now.
No criminal can break In. The chief
detective who guards. the baby will
accompany US to Europe when we go
to continue his duties. Mrs. Mclean
will soon be recovered from the shock
of the burglary and already we are
going ahead on the plans for beauti-
fyinR the estate"

Calm Follows Storm

New York. Aug. 17.-There was a
marked calm today over the troubled
waters of the Republican political
seas. following the storm yesterday
when the old guard" in the Repub-
lican state committee voted down
Theodore Roosevelt's name for tenn
porary chairman of the coming state
convention. No one was prepared to
say how things would shape them-
selves in the days preliminary to the
state convention, where delegates, af-
ter all. will finally determine who will
be temporary presiding officer. New
York County Chairman Griscom, who
presented Col. Roosevelt's name says
the fight will be carried to the prim-
aries and to the convention.

PROGRESSIyES WON

San Francisco. Cal, Aug. 17.-That
California is progressive in its Re.
publican politics was proved yester-
day beyond question, when Hiram
johnson. the leading exponent of the
anti-machine doctrines. swept the
field in the direct primaries, winning
his party's nomination for governor
by plurality that will border on 50,-
900 when all the returns are in. Just
how great was the extent of the dis
aster to the stalwarts cannot be
known until outlying districts have
been heard from, but every indication
points to a clean-cut declaration OF
independence by the party.

BERLIN CONQUERED
BY AMERICANS
Teachers of English in Great
Demand-Suburbs Get
New Names

Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE unprecedented
invasion Of Berlin this year by Uncle
Sans citizens has not come and gone
without leaving remarkable traces be-
hind. The gilded youths of the kaiser's
capital now vie with one another in
adopting the characteristics of Ameri-
can visitors.
The martial moustache hitherto
worn as token of devotion to the
kaiser has disappeared and has given
place to shaven upper lip. The Ber-
lin swell no longer considers himself
immaculate unless clothed in Ameri-
can-cut garments, and the varsity
style is the order of the day. Sellers
of American shoes are doing roar
ing trade. and the square cut, sturdy
shoe has supplanted the pointed one
formerly worn by the habitues of Ber-
lin cafes and boulevards.
Boom for Chewing Gum.
Chewing gum is in great request,
and the chief stores are unable to
cope with the demand and have sent
large orders for the commodity to the
United States. Sweet corn and melons
have been introduced as customary
items of hotel and restaurant menus.
and districts around Berlin have been
placed under cultivation for the form
or. American teachers of English are
advertised for extensively, and, in
some cases, the provision Is made that
the American twang also be taught
American slang 10 now understood,
and it is no uncommon occurrence to
hear it roll out richly and roundly
from Teuton mouths. 'r~ Cabmen and
policemen have been taught English
in order that they may grapple with
the tourist in his native tongue. In
fact, the conquest of Berlin by the
United States ia complete. Three
small villages in the neighborhood OF
the town have been renamed Philadel-
phia, Washington and New Boston by
ardent German Americans, who have
returned from the United States laden
with spoil.
Flaunt Stars and Stripes.
Scores Of automobiles flaunt the
stars and stripes in the streets, al
though they belong to subjects off the
kaiser American signs are to be
found IN all directions, and so are
advertisements for and of American
typewriters, gramophones. eye glasses,
scent, patent medicines, sewing ma
chimes, boots, and hundreds of other
American articles that have gained
public favor.
AS a prominent American official
said the other day, Berlin is the most
American Of all the cities In the old
world. and feel at home when there" "

NoInadic Life.

The early days may be quickly
passed over. The occupation of the
frst corners, as in most new coun-
tries, was that of stockraising. The
nomadic life has strange fascira-
ton for people who engage in it, and
the first corners here were sem'-no-
MAIDS, albeit men of the highest char
acter and intelligence. These reluct-
antly gave up their primal posses
sion of that which nature had SO
bountifully bestowed. The wild bunch
grass, growing in such great profus-
ion for summer pasturage, and tho
white sage for winter range, the lat
Tar now, l believe, practically extinct,
were advantages not to be lightly re-
leased. Many men numbered their
cattle by the thousands. While the
acquisition of wealth in this manner
was not so easy as one might snp-
pose, yet 1t did come with compare
tive ease. The cattle men, as they
were called, regarded the country as
too frosty for practical pursuits OF
farmer and particularly OF the horti-
culturist; at least some of than said
SO and 1t is but fair to assume that
they were sincere. Thus we see how
interest often warps judgment. They
did not encourage the coming of set
tiers; on the other hand many OF
them distinctly discouraged it. Nat
urally enough, perhaps, they l,olSed
upon the influx of so many people as
an encroachment upon their own ie.
Ultimate domain; and those who first
augmented the sparse population east
ly fell in with the methods of the
country and the views of those whc
