PACKERS NEED NOT
FEAR PROSECUTION

Trenton, y. J.. May 7.-(Special1 THE
heads of the beef trust in Chicago have
nothing further to fear from New Jersey.
Governor Fort today practically ended the
prosecution by refusing to ask the gov
ernor of Illinois for the extraditon of J.
Ogden Armour
He wrote a long opinion giving the
reasons for his action and they will APP
ply in the cases of other Chicago pack
ers who were indicted with Armour by
the Hudson county grand jury On the
same grounds Nelson Morris, the Swifts,
the managers of the Hammond concern
and most of the 20 men under indictment
in Jersey City for raising the price of
beef and food will escape.
Incidentally. the action of Governor Fort
is opposed TO that of Governor Hughes in
a similar case, that OF f. n. Hoffstot.
president of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany, who was sought by the Pittsburg
authorities on an indictment found there.
Armour like most of the beef trust
men. was not in New Jersey at the time
was committed. Governor Fort says. He
therefore noids tnat the Deer trust man Is
not a fugitive from justice, and accord
ing to the constitution of the United
States cannot be brought into the state
for trial 1t was asserted in the indict-
ment that the crime for which Mr. Ar
mour was indicted was committed in Jer-
sey City on March l, 1908, when the
beef barons agreed to produce an arti-
fetal scarcity in the supply of meats and
poultry"
The charge also covers days subsequent
till December A. 1908.

FARMERS MAY HAVE
ANOTHER MEETING

MemlAis, May Especial, The execu-
tive committee of the National Farmers
union is considering the advisability of
calling second national farmers con-
vention for 1910, to be held during the
Tri-State fair next September.
The recent meeting of the National
Farmers union at st. Louis proved de-
cided failure in many respects, but as the
poor attendance is believed to have been
caused by the general demand for SER
vice on the farm, the members of the or
eanization are not willing to let the st.
Louis convention go on record as a rep
resentative gathering.
The movement to hold another national
meeting this year is being promoted main
ly by H. L. Mobley of Prairie Grove, Ark
chairman of the national transportation
committee. Should the executive com.
mittee decided to held the convention in
Memphis, Mr.. Mobley will go before the
convention of general passenger agents II
New York May 20 and ask for rates into
Memphis from all directions during tn,
convention.
The fact that the Tri-State fair will bt
b progress at the time of the proposed
convention promises the delegates an at
traction that they would not be able to en-
Joy at any of the other meetings. TIL,
Tri-State fair this year will be planned
throughout for the instruction and enter
tainment of the man who lives in thu
country.
The executive committee will arrive a
decision some time before May 10. l
their decision favors the convention, thei
President Charles S. Barrett of Atant;
will issue the necessary instructions TO
the holding of the second meeting.

In BIRMINGHAM Yesterday
By WALTER HARPER.

c. A. O'Neil one of the nominees for
the legislature from Jefferson county, is
from Cardiff in the western part of the
county. instead of from Warrior. as
stated in the paper yesterday morning.
Warrior Is not ashamed to claim Mr..
O'Neil as a citizen. but the neighbors
of Mr. OiNeil at Cardiff are making a
big kick They claim him and are jeal-
Gus of the honor.
For a number of years Mr.. O'Neil was
engaged in the mercantile business at
Cardiff but retired last January. He an
nounced his intention to move to Biz
mingham at once, where he owns some
valuable property. He will make his
home at Norwood.
This is Mr.. O'Neirs first experience in
politics. and he is naturally very proud OF
HIS success. He has never even run Tor
the smallest office in the gift of the
people.
IN view of the fact that he comes from
a section of the county where 1t is
claimed no man has ever been able, to
secure an election to any county office,
he naturally feels proud of his sue
cess.

take the initiative, but must always
stand subject to the orders of a sec
retary too greatly influenced by mere
apparent commercial and fiscal in
terest
The bill introduced by Senator Owen
would coordinate into one working
body all of the various health agen-
cies of the government. 1t proposes
no new officers, except the secretary
and his assistant, and calls for no new
appropriation aside from the salaries
of the secretaries. 1t will provide
number of effieiencies, said Senator
Owen, by preventing duplication.
A commercial nation, he said,
should not be unmindful of the com
mercial value of the saving of all
life and efficiency possible, which is
worth $4,000, 100000 per annum. A
humane nation will not fail to act
when it is known that we could save
the lives of 100000 or our people an
nually, prevent the sickness of S,O0O,-
600 of people per ap1um, who now
suffer from preventable disease.
The bill, he said, was in accordance
with the earnest repeated desires of
the American Medical association,
which he declared was probably the
largest and most honorable associa-
tion of physicians and surgeons in the
whole world"
Senator Owen quoted numerous
statistics in proof of the arguments
which he advanced as to the import
ance of the work that the depart
ment would be called on to do. He
expressed the hope that action would
be taken on the matter at the present
session.
