LANOIS QUASHES INDICTMENT
FREES NATIONAL PACKING CON-
PANY AND SUBSIDIARY FIRMS.
Sustains Demurrer on Technical
Grounds-Orders Special Grand
Jury for New Hearing.

Chicago.-The indictment against
the National Packing company and its
ten subsidiary concerns charging them
with conspiracy to restrain trade in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, was knocked out Thursday when
Judge Keneshaw NJ. Lands in the
United States district court sustained
the demurrer filed against the indict-
ment by the so-called beef trust.
A special venire of seventy-tive men
was ordered called for July IA. From
this venire a grand jury will be drawn
and a second investigation of the
packing companies begun.
In his decision sustaining the de-
murrer to the government indictment
Judge Lands said:
"The most painstaking search Of
this indictment fails to disclose the
presence of charge that during the
statutory period the defendants have
engaged in, or had anything to do
with interstate commerce, or that
they done anything having any effect

not clothed with authority to supply,
entirely by inference, the complete
omission of such a fundamental ele-
ment of the offense.
This fatal weakness might have
been obviated by including the charge,
had the evidence warranted it, that
the defendants, or their respective Of
f1cers or agents, did something, as,
for instance, fixed prices, controlled
output, divided territory, or the like,
which effected a restraint of inter-
state commerce being carried on
within the three years period.
THE general averment that the de-
PENDANTS engaged in a combination in
restraint of interstate trade is, of
course, mere conclusion, and there
fore insufficient. The demurrer must
be sustained"
The indictment, which was knocked
out by the packers demurrer, was
drawn by Oliver E. Pagin, assistant
attorney general, who was sent to
Chicago from Washington

TO PUT ACT INTO EFFECT.

ashington.-Under the terms of
the postal savings bank act, which
has been approved by the president,
the board of trustees which is to con.
troll this new governmental monetary
institution will soon begin working
upon it's plans to carry the law into
effect. When the plan is put into oper-
alton the law provides that any person
10 years or over may open an account
with the government in any postoffice
designated by the board Of trustees
as a postal savings depository. Mar
ried women may maintain accounts
in their own names, free from the
control or interference of their hus-
bands, but no person is permitted to
have more than one account. Deposits
may be made in sums of not less than
81 or multiples thereof, but not for
more than 500 in any one calendar

Neutrality-suspicious. Providence

headpiece of goodly proportions, fully
in keeping with his stature, and an
unusual amount of avoirdupois, there
was no sign of the "swell head" about
the president, though there seemed to
be ample justification for it.
So many congratulations have been
showered upon him because of the re.

he persuaded congress to make at the
session just closed that it reminded
him Of the felicitations he received
upon his election in November, 1905.
He accomplished same without re-

POSTAL BANK BILL PASSED
TAFT's "RIo STICK" POLICY
BRINGS SENATE TO TERMS.
Disposal Of the Deposits Was the Main
Issue on Which Senators
Clashed.

hington.-Lacking only the sig
nature of President Taft to become
law, the final step toward postal sa-
wings was taken Wednesday when the
senate concurred in the house postal
savings bank after voting down a
number Of amendments.
President Taft's action in assuming
a "big-stick" policy is regarded as
having made the vote a certainty.
The vote was A to 25. The bill now
goes to President Taft without a con.
ference.
On the main issue of the legislation
relating to the disposal of deposits in
postal banks the house bill concurred
in by the senate provides that 65 per
cent. may be redeposited in the local
banks and 30 per cent. may be used
for the purchase of bonds backed by
the taxing power of the national gov
ernment. There is nothing arbitrary
about either of these provisions, how
ever. Five per cent. of the deposits
will be retained as a reserve fund.
AS security for deposits in local
banks, bonds backed by national, state
and municipal government and other
securities approved by the trustees
may be used.
The house bill creates a board of
trustees consisting of the postmaster
general, the secretary of the treasury
and the attorney general, who are
vested with discrimination in the ad-
ministration of the system, including
the designation Of post Offices as
postal-savings banks.
Deposits in these banks by one per.
son shall not extend more than $100
month, or total of $500, on which
interest shall be paid at the rate of
two per cent. year. An account may
be opened with one dollar, but stamps
may be purchased IN the denomina-
ton Cf ten cents for those desiring to
accumulate money to be deposited
At the request of the depositor gov
ernment bonds in amount of $40, $40,
$50, $50, $10O and $500 may be pur-
chased with his deposit, the bonds to
bear interest at 2h per cent. These
bonds will cover a refunding of the
$64,OOO,OOO of three per cent. govern
ment bonds outstanding and new is

banks will be required to pay "a per
