CHICAGO, May 25.-The first skir-
mish in the governments attack on the
so-called beef trust began before

James II. Wilkerson, Assistant District

sistant to the Attorney-General Oliver

into particulars sufficiently; 2, that it
does not charge a crime, nor cite facts
constituting a crime; 3, that If there
was a crime the statute of limitations
three years. had run against 1t; 4, that
the indictment charges no interstate
transactions; 5, that no place
in which the combination operated or
had existence is alleged; 6, that it is a

SPEAKER DECLARES
P. Freeze Says President
Does 1t to Save Electoral
Four Votes.

Declaring that President Taft has to
kotow to the Mormons in order to
save four electoral votes for the Re-
publican party, Hans P. Freeze, of Co.
lumbia University, in ar address on
Mormonism last night in the Sand
ford Methodist Episcopal Church, East
Orange, spoke of the great danger to
the people of this country through the
tolerance of Mormonism.
EVERY schoolboy knows that the
Mormon Church was founded for graft,
and the man who founded 1t proved
himself to be the king of grafters.'
said the speaker.
president Taft on his recent visit to
Salt Lake City spoke in a Mormon
tabernacle and was afterwards the
guest of Joseph Smith, head of the
Mormon Church, who has five wives.
| am not criticising President Taft. l
know he has to, kotow to Mormonism,
because does not that faith control two
States, which means four votes in a
presidential campaign, and are not the
Mormons all Republicans? 1t is true
that at one time they were all Demo-
Gratis, but they changed when the Re
pub1icans came into power, and IL the
Republicans want to keep the Mormons
they must kotow to them"

CONVICTED SLAYER OF
WIFE DENIED NEW TRIAL.
Judge Tells DR.. Clemins0n Next
Jury Might Hang Him.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Motion for a
new trial for DIR. Haldane Cleminson,
convicted of the murder of his wife,
was overruled by Judge McSurely to-
day. A motion in arrest of judgment
was granted and sentence deferred to
allow an appeal.
Among other reasons for denying a
new trial the court gave his sympathy
for the prisoner as one, declaring that
a new jury might hang him..
Or. Cleminson's mother, attired in
deep black, rushed to her son and
threw her arms about his neck when
the court gave his adverse ruling on
the defense's motion. The prisoners
father remained in his seat, seemingly
overwhelmed.
DR.. Cleminson is alleged to have killed
his wife by means of chloroform. The
evidence against him was circum-
stantial.

FIRST ARREST PROVES
WRONG; SHE TRIES AGAIN.

TRENTON, May 25.-When Mrs.
Charlotte Castron, of IL Fall street,
was struck in the face by an air rifle
bullet last Sunday, she picked out
Daniel E%ttinger, who lives in the house
whose rear yard backs against hers, as
the marksman.
Ettinger was accordingly summoned
to appear in the Central Police Court
to answer the charge and he was in the
prisoners dock at the opening of court.
lie seemed unusually restless and en-
barrassed. which was readily accounted
for when he proved that he had never
had an air rifle In his possession and
that he could lot possibly have fired
the bullet that struck Mrs. Castron.
Ettinger was promptly released, and
Mrs. Castron took another guess at her
assailant, this time picking Walter
Prince, who lives next door to Ettinger.
1t was shown that the shooting was
accidental, no matter who did 1t. and
Prince was discharged with a warning
to be careful.

complished." he said. lis to afford a
means of giving equal rates to ship

The interest of the shipper was by
no means the interest of the general
public, he asserted. He declared the
people generally were as much entitled
to protection as the shippers. Forty
years ago the fight was begun with
that end in view, he said, n it was
as much a fight against %extortion as
against discrimination, out in the for
mer respect there had been an utter
failure.
With a huge chart to show the rela-

groups" the Wisconsin Senator spoke
In support of the Cunmins amendment
to the railroad bill, requiring the prior
approval by the Interstate Commerce
Commission of increases in railroad
rates.
While the rate regulation provision

WITNESSES NOT
PRESENT. WATER
CASE POSTPONED
Suit of Bayonne Against North
Arlington Is Delayed by Jer-
sey City Lawyer.

Because Warren Dixon, of Jersey
City, counsel for the Borough of North
Arlington, did not have his witnesses
on hand today, before Vice-Chancellor
Howell, the suit of Bayonne against
that borough, the taking OF the testi-
mony was postponed until June 3.
Yesterday, when the hearing first
came up, he was defeated in his at
tempt to bring the hudson County
Water Company into the suit and so
Bayonne scored a point.
The action is brought to enjoin the
borough from interfering with the lay
ing OF a water main for the supply CT
water to Bayonne, under certain street
crossings in North Arlington. Mr..
Dixon had based his request for leave
to bring in the Hudson County Water
Company on the plea hat all the
parties that ought to be in the case
had not been brought into it, and late
yesterday afternoon some formal proof
was entered and exhibits placed on
record showing the status of the con-
tention.
Turner A. Beall, the president of the
New York and New Jersey Water
Company, was called by former Judge
Gilbert Collins, of Jersey City, at yes
terday's brief hearing and asked about
the laying of the pipes. This, he said,
was blocked by the authorities of Arl-
ington by threats of arrest previous to
the filing of the bill in the present suit.
The president added that the COM
pany had assigned the right to lay a
main in Bayonne to the Kill Won Kull
to the Hudson County Water Com
pany, and SAID that his company had
no connection with a proposed water
supply to the borough of Richmond,
Staten Island. t
There was q rather lively tilt be-
tween the counsel in the case before
the v~ice-chancellor finally decided to
give Mr.. Dixon a chance to be heard.
He insisted that he had not been
given notice of the time for the hear
ing yesterday, when John w Beall,
brother of the man who had testified,
was present representing the defend
ant.
g The vice-chancellor informed him
that it had been decided to overrule
. the defense set up in the cross-biH,
adding:
"You intend to appeal?"
Eyes, SIR" Mr.. Dixon answered.
IF the case goes over 1t must be on
terms that the case on appeal gets on
at the November term" said the vice.
chancellor. ID
I'VE can substantiate our defense by
testimony and we ought to have the
opportunity to do So" came from Mr..
Dixon.
1.-THE appeal. can be heard at the
June term" insisted Mr.. Collins, but
II there is any delay today We will not
get ready for the June term"
Mr.. Dixon was equally insistent that
his witnesses ought to be heard on the
point that the New York and New
/. Jersey Water Company. through Its
connection with the hudson County
Water Company. was trying, with the
permission of the city of Bayonne, to
divert water from the State to Staten
Island.
