taking, although Senator Hepburn is
not the Wide Awake Boy to run away
from the job. As it is he is Just as
mad about it as can be, and that is
some angry. If it is allowed to remain
there much longer in mute protest to
the Hepburn harangues, it may be
necessary to purchase from the con-
tingent fund of the Senator, set of
binders for the Idaho Senator when he
is led (note that this word is LED
and not LEAD) through Statuary
Hall. They might just as well, for
they pay about everything out Of the
contingent fund.

1t was the late Senior Don Quixote
who assaulted windmill; it is the
Captain of the Wide Awake Boys who
today assals statue.
But in passing, some of the great
victories which the Captain-Senator
has won should not be overlooked.
Through his strategic efforts and with
out the shedding of blood, although
not without the shedding of some per-
spiration, the statute of Benedict Ar
mold has thus far been kept out of
Statuary Hall, and in dismay the
friends of the late j. lscariot have
abandoned all attempts to get even SO
much as bust of him in the Capitol.
Not long since an unreconstructed
collector of customs at Newport News,
Va, announced that he would close up
shop on January 10Th, which happen
ed to be the anniversary of the birth
Of General Robert E. Lee, and holt
} day in the Old Dominion. Forthwith
, the Captain of the Wide Awake Boys
called upon the superior officer Of that
unreconstructed one, the Hon. Frank.

The first lesson in the old No. l
geography taught that the. earth was
ssound like an orange. This descrip-
ton also quite adequately fits the
Hon Weldon Brinton Hepburn, Re
publican, of Wallace, Idaho. AS to
dimensions he is broader of beam and
narrower of mind than any Of his as
soc;ates in the United States Senate.
Nature was generous to Hepburn in

"The Senator from Idaho" says the
Vice President, and then they're off.
Immediately there is miniature
Marathon on the Senate floor and il
the press gallery, the goals being re
spectively the cloakrooms and thu
writing rooms, but the Senators, no

the reporters to report it. Just t.
get away from it, that's all. This dis
inclination on the part Of the journal
lists to be fired into enthusiasm by tn
burning thoughts of the Hon. Weldon

occasion, to speak harshly Of them.

CHICAGO MEAT
PACKERS CASE
Judge kenesaW M. Lands Mott.
fies Counsel for Defendants
He Cannot Hear 1t.
CHANGE OF VENUE UNSETTLED
They Want 1t Transferred to U. s.
Circuit Court but May 60 to
Another District Judge

Chicago. Nov. lS.--Judgc Kcnesaw NJ.
Lands, in the United states district
court. announced to attorneys appear
ing before him seeking II change of
venue in the case against Chicago meat
packers that he would be unable to
hear the case, Irrespective of argument
for or against such a course.
The announcement was made during
lull in the arguments in the effort of
the packers to have the case trans
ferred to the United States circuit
court.
The packers are charged with con-
spiracy to restrain trade and are specif-
ically charged with having formed the
So called beef trust" in the shape of
the National Packing company.
In announcing his inability to sit in
the case. Judge Lands gave no hint of
his possible action on the venue argu-
ment. 1t lies within his power to re-
fuse certification to the circuit court
and instead to transfer 1t as dean OF
the district court to another district
Judge.
Shortly after his announcement Judge
Lands put off until Nov. 90 further ar
suments. The question at issue is. shall
SuoHC .A|iliuiS Cci LILY ~ lllt circuit
court the whole case against the pack
crs or Will he refuse such certification,
compelling tho defendants to accept
trial before a district judge.
Judge Lands thus explained his re-
fusal to sit in the case:
Considering the character and nature
of the defendants averment and the
proximity in point of time of my en-
ployment as Il member of this bar as
an agent of the department of justice.

Attys. John Miller, Levy Mayer and
MorItz Rosenthal Of the packers in
sisted this was impossble-that the
United States supreme court had
made It mandatory in such cases that
the certihcation be made to the circuit
court.
Judge Lands did not approve this
position and the hearing was put off
until Nov q.

Government Trying to Find Out if.
It Will Pay to Insure Honesty
Of Its Employees.
EXPERTS ARE INVESTIGATING
Question VIII be Answered on Scion
tilic Basis Soon After
Congress Meets.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-How many
government officials are honest and
what is 1t worth TO insure their
honestly. are questions that will be
answered on II scientific basis shortly
after Congress conYcnes next month.
Experts have spent much time re-
Gently in attempting to reduce the
answers to q few concrete figures
Their work is supposed to be drawing
TO close. 1t Will cost about $4,000.
The question arose In reference to
the bonding of government officials.
About a year ago several officials ap-
peaed to Congress to raise their sal
aries because the bonding companies
had increased the cost of their bond
to such an extent that it made their
salaries look like withered autumn
leaves For instance. one mans pred
ccessor played the races at Bennings
and his surety paid the fiddler. whose
bill amounted to about $4,000. The
successor was compelled to pay about
Is per cent of his salary in order to
induce a surety or bonding company
TO run the risk OF his following in the
footsteps of his predecessor.
Chairman Tawney of the committee
on appropriations proposed to limit
the amount TO be paid for bonding gov
crnment officials. That called down
4 the wrath of the 20 or more bonding
companies throughout the United
States. A hearing resulted The gov
eminent employees made more COM
plants about the increase in rates and
the surety companies kicked about the
government officials being so stingy
with statistic and other information
concerning the departments. The re-
suit was tho appointment OF COM
mittee by the house and senate to in
vestigate the whole subject. This COM
mittee hired corps Of experts to go
over the field, figure out the percent-
age OF faithless officials and the cost
of insuring the government against loss
for them.

TRUNK MYSTERY FOR
POLICE OF new YORK
Body Had tcposcd In IIcrmctically
Sealed One for Years, Even Sex
Not Being Known.

New York, Nov. lS.-Pcndng an in
quest planned for today on the body
which was found In an Theoretically
scaled trunk in the cellar OF u West
Fifty-fou street apartment house,
the authorities were not inclined to
theorize. Even the sex of the victim
WIS not known, the five years or more
during which the body is known to have
reposed in It's hiding place having re-
duccd 1t almost to a skeleton. From
outward Indications, however, the au-
thorites are of the belief that the body
is that of II woman, the smaIlncss
of the bones chiefly leading them to
that conclusion.
Early today the body--discovercd by
Phillip Mcagher when he was prepar-
ing to move yesterday after eight years
residence in thu house and opened the
neglected tr,ipk--was taken to the
morgue. 1t WIS found that the body
had been damned in the trunk and
surrounded WITH quantities of plaster OF
Paris and paper.
Tho only clue is the name of w
Lewis. which appears on the outside OF
the trunk. Lewis was a boardcr in tho
Meager family lip to about six years
ago. He told Meagher on going away
that he wouldsleavc the trunk and call
for 1t some time. A zinc tank inside
the trunk fits perfectly. The newspa-
pers were dated from Feb. is to April
II, 1902. $4,000
At the morgue Coroner's Physician
Leblanc, With Professor John McAllis-
ter of Bellevue. made an examination
of the bodSEand found 1t to be that OF
u man. Surgeons declare that the vic
tim was placed in the trunk while still
alive and death resulted from asphyx-
iation. Theacondltion of portion of
