business men see a step towards real.
ization of the packing company's plans
to erect large plant on it's tract near
New Brighton. The deal is said to

of large factories for the manufacture
of lard pals and other packages for
their own use.
This part of the business has been
carried on at Ithaca and Marble.

been exhausted there.
Armour & Co. will spend $3.50, 1000

DISAGREEMENT IN FORD CASE
WOMAN IN WARRINER CASE RE
LEASED ON $4,000 BOND.
Prosecutor Asserts That American
Jurors Are Suffering From a
"Diseased Mentality."

Cincinnati, Feb. 7.--After "a hours
ueliberation the jury in the case of
Mrs. Jeanette Stewart Ford, charged
with blackmailing Charles L. Warrin-
er the defaulting local treasurer of
the Big Four railroad, was unable to
reach an agreement and was dis
charged.
Judge Swing stated after he dis.
missed the jury, that he had been in
formed that on the last ballot eight
jurors had stood for acQuittal and four
for conviction.
The unexpected end to the sensa-
tional case was explained by two of
the jurymen as due to the fact that the
majority of their colleagues refused
to give any credit to the testimony of
Warriner. They asserted that a man
who had confessed to embezzling for
25 years would not hesitate to perjure
himself against woman, who, he be-
Heved, had been the cause of his ex.
posure.
Prosecutor Hunt announced that he
expected to bring the woman to trial
again within the next three weeks.
At the time he intimated that he
might abandon the case. He asserted
that the result of the trial was due to
a species of diseased mentality,
which seemed to affect American Jur.
ors and prevent them from convicting
woman on any CHARGE. He de.
clared the same process of reasoning
was evident in the sympathy displayed
for Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Nan Pat.
terson, to both of whom he compared
Mrs. Ford.
Pending her trial, Mrs. Ford was re.
leased under $4,000 bond, furnished by
bond company. This bond will
have to be renewed, but no difficulty
is expected in this respect.
Attorney Thorndyke, who has con.
Quoted Mrs. Ford's defense, stated that
If his client was placed on trial again
he would 60 to Columbus and demand
an investigation by the legislature in.
to the Big -Four shortage. Mr.. Thorn.
dyke declares he has sufficient infor.
nation to persuade Governor Har.
mon to take up the matter. +
Rumors have been persistently cir.
| culated to the effect that there was
much more involved in the Warriner
defalcation than the convicted treas.
urer's statement indicated. Z

.DAIRYMEN PLANNING BIG FIGHT.
MILK PRODUCERS in NATIONAL
CONVENTION IN CHICAGO.
Protective Association Considers
Methods by Which to Obtain
Larger Share Of the Profits.

Chicago, Feb. 7-The national con
vention of the Milk Producers Protec
tive association, the largest of the
kind ever held, opened to-day in Y. M.
C.. A. auditorium on La Sale street.
The organization has $500 members
in Illinois, Wisconsin,, Indiana and a
part of Michigan, and in addition to
hundreds of these members, a large
number of invited delegates came
from every part of the country where
there are producers associations.
The dairymen gathered with blood
in their eyes, for they say they are
tired of seeing the retailers get the
lions share of the profits in the milk
business, and are determined to force
more equitable division. Unless the
retailers capitaulate before March Is,
the day on which the price schedules
are signed between the producer and
the distributor, open warfare is likely
to be declared. The proposition which
the convention is considering is to
have the producers establish their
own distributing stations, bottling
pA"AIo OAA AOUCO0S oAu uCd1 ullSCtly
with the consumer. This does not
mean that the price of milk to the
consumer will be reduced, for the pro-
ducers all agree with their secretary
J. P. Grier, that milk at eight cents
a quart is not too high. The cost of
producing, they say, has advanced
greatly in the last few years, owing to
the increased cost of cattle food and
labor.
The producers of the northern Illi.
nois district have about decided to
re-establish their own creameries,
which were sold to the Borden CON-
pany ten or fifteen years ago. This
would act as an outlet for much of
their product.
1t is proposed, also, that the con-
vention start a congressional cam
paign for the re-enactment of the
Grout law, which required a tax of
ten cents pound on imitation butter.
w. D. Hoard, former governor of Wis
consin, is an active advocate of this
plan to renew the fight on oleomar-
garin.

at Grand Island. at which time lines were
agreed upon cutting Custer county into five
parts. These lines were found to be so
unsatisfactory in certain sections OF the
county that It was necessary to call a con-
ference OF divisioniBts. Broken Bow seems
to be the bone OF contention, as none OF the
proposed new counties are willing to take
the city in their territory.
The former lines put Broken Bow in the
northwest county and the people Of Merna,
who expected that town to be the new
county seat. strenuously objected. Lines
were adjusted satisfactory TO the Merna
district by eliminating Broken Bow, but the

The trouble with the county from a di-
