Five Presidents of Packing Companies
Charged With Having Violated
the Sherman Antitrust Law.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Ten men, five of
them presidents of the most extensive
packing companies in the world and
all of them directors of the National
Packing company, which has been
the special object of recent govern
mental investigation, were indicted by
the federal grand jury on charge OF
having violated the Sherman antitrust
act
Three indictments, the first one con-
tanning five counts and the others one
each, were returned before Judge

the grand jury two months ago.
The maximum penalty for each Tio-
lation of the Sherman act is fine Of
$4,000 or Imprisonment for one year,
or both.
The indictments charge that all of
the defendants have engaged in a COM
bination in restraint of interstate
trade in fresh meats, that they have
engaged in a conspiracy in restraint Of
trade and that they have monopoliZed
the trade in fresh meats by unlawful
means.
The indictments cover 125 pages of
typewriter matter. They go into
every angle of the packing industry
in this country and contain the allega-
ton that So per cent of the fresh
meat consumed in the eastern, west
ern and middle southern states comes
directly from the companies controlled
by the defendants. The proportion of
each concern in this trade is given as
follows: Swift group of houses, At per

ILLINOIS COAL STRIKE ENDS
AGREEMENT REACHED BETWEEN
MINERS AND OPERATORS.
Practically Every Demand of Men Is
Granted-40,0o0 Workmen to
Resume Work.

Chicago. - Forty-four thousand I'LL
nois coal miners will resume work at
once after an idleness of more than
five months as a result of an agree
ment reached between the officials OF
the mine workers and the Illinois Coal
Operators association.
Practically every demand of the men
has been granted. A contract exend
ing up to April 1, 1912, was signed.
The average increase to the miners
in wages will amount to eight cents
per ton, or an aggregate of $4,00O,O0O
annually. The installation of safety
appliances and general betterments
which the operators agree to give the
men Will increase the cost of putting
coal on the market nearly II cents
per ton.
Of the $4,000 miners who quit work
April l, more than $4,000 already have
signed up and assume work. The bal
ance will begin active work SO soon as
the mines can be pumped out and put
into condition for operation.
1t is estimated that the strike has
caused shortage of at least 100000
600 tons; loss in wages amounting
to $15,0O0,O00, and net loss to the
operators of nearly s10,000,000.

DEMOCRATS SWEEP STATE AND

GOVERNOR.
PROBABLY WIN LEGISLATURE
Four Republican Congressman Are
Defeated-State Issues Are Given
as Cause for Change of Political
Complexion of State.

Augusta, Me.-Col. Frederick w.
Plaisted, mayor of this city, was elect
ed governor at the election held in
this state Monday. The Democrats
have probably elected four congress
men and it is likely that they will
have a majority in the state legisla-
ture.
Plaisted's majority over his Repub-
lican opponent, the present governor,
Bert M. Fernald, will probably reach
5000, though it will be several days
before the vote of many remote rural
communities is received. The Fourth
Congressional district, which includes
numerous polling places of this sort,
is thought to have gone Republican.
Asher G. Kinds, the parliamentarian
of congress, is defeated in the Port
land district, Swazey in the Second
and Burleigh in the Third.
That state issues, notably the dras-
tic enforcement of the prihibitory law
by the party in power, have been
chiefly responsible for the election of
Plaisted is freely admitted on both
sides and this result is not much of a
surprise to close observers, but that
the political complexion of Maine rep
resentation in congress should be
changed is regarded as the verdict of
the voters on the questions which are
uppermost in the Insurgent west.
Should the legislature prove to be
Democratic it is altogether likely that
the question of maintaining the pro-
hibitory law will be submitted to the
people and of course Democrat will
succeed Eugene Hale in the United
States senate.

FALLING ROCKS KILL
TEN WORkMEN ARE DEAD, NINE
INJURED IN ERIE RAILROAD
TUNNELS.
SOMEONE MADE A BLUNDER
Twenty-Eeht Laborers Arc Caught in
Tubes Underneath Hundreds OF
Tons of Brick and Mortar-Nine
Escape Uninjured.

Jersey City, N. J-By the fall of
hundreds of tons of Palisade rock
through the broken roof of the old
Erie railroad trunnels ten workmen
were crushed to death Sunday and
nine others were seriously injured,
five of them probably fatally.
The dead and injured formed part
of a gang of twenty-eight hard rock
men who were removing the noun
tain of stone above the tunnels to
transform them into open "cuts" as
was recently completed on other
tracks adjacent. Somebody either
blundered in blasting which weakened
the brick roof of the tubes. or there
was an unsuspscted fault in the rock.
West of the Hudson boulevard via
duct there was a mass of rock to cut
away about ITO feet deep down to the
brick walls Of the tunnels and about
125 feet long Working in three shifts
Of eight hours each, the gangs Lad
cut down to the tunnels for a dis
lance of more than 60 feet and they
had removed all the upper work to
within 80 feet of the brick below.
Twenty-eight men were employed in
cleaning up the debris left by the drill
ing and blasting when there came
first a crashing report, then a sway
ing and tossing of a solil rock, a
thunderous report like a park of ar
illery and after that there was a
churning and tossing Of men as first
the center sank and piece by piece
great chunks of rock, some weighing
tons, fell from the sides, grinding and
crushing as they struck.

WOMAN AND THE PIN.

It was in a deductive way that the
captain found out that Ethel Clare
LIE Neve, the supposed accomplice OF
DR.. Crippen, was a girl though she
was dressed in boys togs. She mad
supplied a missing trousers button
with a safety pin. The method was
entirely feminine, says Cleveland
leader. A boy would have borrowed
a marline spike or nail, or Whitfield
a wooden peg. This dramatic use OF
the safety pin again focuses the a%
tention on woman's marvellous capac
lty as a pinster Give her hat pin
and she can alright a footpad or lure
olives from a long-necked bottle,
with equal ease. She makes 1t deco
rative, too, and deadly. In crowd
ed street car it is as fearsome a
weapon as the kris Of Malay run
ming a-muck. But her chief record Is
made with the common or garden pin.
She fastens buttons or shoes with 1t
and when baby swallows the rattle,
harpoons that out with a pin. II a
tornado blows and the shingles are
threatened she crawls out on the roof
and pins them down. Writers OF
those fascinating summer stories in
which a man and lovely girl are cast
away on a South sea island miss the
chance of their lives when they do
not provide the heroine with paper
of pins as her salvage from the
wreck

Is the speedy motor car an obsta-
Gle to punctuality? 1t would seem so.
Certainly the habit of arriving late at
the theater and other places Of enter
tainment is growing with the multi
phcation of the means Of rapid trans.
portation. It is seldom that play
Or program is not marred or interrupt
ed by these late arrivals. And the
disturbance is greater where motor
cars carry the larger number of the
attendants. Does this mean that those
who have to depend on the street cars
are more apt to give themselves rea-
sonable time than are those who
have gotten into the habit of think
ing that neither time nor distance
counts when the automobile is avail
able? At any rate the habit is bad
one.

BROWNE FOUND NOT GUILTY
ILLINOIS LEGISLATOR FREED OF
BRIBERY CHARGE.
Jury Out Over Fl Hours and Verdict
Is Greeted With Characterization
Overcomes Defendant

Chicago.-The jury in the second
trial of Lee O'Neil Browne, leader of
the minority In the Illinois legislature,
charged with bribing Representative
Charles A. White to vote for Senator
Lorimer, returned a verdict OF not
guilty in the criminal court Friday.
In the first trial of Browne the jury
disagreed.
The speedy verdict was a surprise
to the many who had watched the
progress of the second trial and had
feared that repetition of the tedious
deliberations of the first jury would
close the case The verdict was re-
turned before Judge Kersten after the
jury had deliberated little over
twenty-one hours.
AS the words mot guilty" fell from
the clerks lips cheer went up.
Scenes of confusion followed. 1t was
with difficulty that the bailiffs re-
strained the crowd. It was then that
Browne jumped from his chair,
seized Attorney Erbstein around the
neck and they embraced each other.
A moment later Browne was torn
from his counsel by his friends. They
pushed him around the room in al
most frenzy to offer their congratu-
lations. Browne then tried to reach
the jury box to thank the Jurors.
81 thank" he began, but he did
not finish, his emotions overcoming
him. Tears ran down his face.

which included thirty-two loaded cars,
estimated to be worth $150,000.
At the sacrifice of two of her own
seamen, and after terrible hours OF
struggle the steel car ferry Pere Mar
quette No. IT, which went to the as
sistance of No. 10, reached this port
with three dead, and Twenty-Five sur
vivors Of the crew of her sister ship.
Twelve of the rescued were in one
of the ships boats, the remainder
were clinging to the wreckage or
floating about buffeted by the debris.
The catastrophe occurred approx
mately thirty miles off from Port
Washington. No. II, bound from Mil
waukee for Ludington, reached the
wreck just as the No. Is sunk out of
sight. Several miles away a lone
boat was floundering in the surge and
swell of the waves, and on all sides
were the shrieks and screams of the
poor wretches soaked through and
through with the almost ice-cold water
and gripped by the strong winds
The Pere Marquette No. 20, out
from Ludington bound for Milwaukee
and manned by a crew most of whom
come from the same city as those on
the sunken vessel, was the third craft
to reach there. Just prior to its ar
rival the fishing tug Tester, out from
Port Washington, had picked up six
dead, among them Capt. Kitty, which
we're transferred to the No. II and
taken back to Ludington.
In marine circles it is believed that
the string of twenty-eight cars be-
came loose as the ferry was buffeted
about and that the water rolled into
the vessels stern, which is wide open.
This seems plausible in view of the
fact that the sea was rolling from
the north. the most dangerous on
Lake Michigan, while the steamer was
heading southwest by south.
