The iron masters birthday is still
a week off, but that anniversary occa-
sion was uppermost in the minds of
most of those present at a dinner given
in his honor last night by the general
society of mechanics and tradesmen
on the occasion of the society's 125th
anniversary. Mr.. Carnegie spoke at
length Of his philanthropies and then
touched on his early life, winding up
with the observation that his heart
went out in sympathy for the sons of
mllllonaires. 1t was the son of the
poor parents, he said, who realizes
what a fathers and a mothers love
was and who had to toll hard for all
ne got, who was the boy to be envied.
I am proud of my membership in
this society" said Mr.. Carnegie ION

PACKERS ESCAPE.
Judge Lands Announces That He Will
Not Try Their Case.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Judge Kenesaw NJ
Lands, in the United States district
court, today announced to attorneys ap-
pearing before him seeking a change of
venue in the case against Chicago meat
packers, that he would be unable to
hear the case, irrespective of argument
for or against such a course.
The announcement was made during
a lull in argument in the effort of the
packers to have the case transferred
to the United States circuit court. The
packers are charged with conspiracy to
restrain trade and are specifically
charged with having formed the So
called "beef trust in the shape of the
National Packing company.
In announcing his inability to sit in
the case Judge Lands gave no hint OF
his possible action on the venue argu-
ment. 1t lies within his power to re-

fuse certifcation to the circuit court
and instead, to transfer it, as dean of
the district court to another district
judge.
Shortly after his announcement Judge
Lands put off till November % further
arguments. The question at issue is
shall Judge Lands certify to the cir
cult court the whole case against the
packers, or will he refuse such GER
tifcation, compelling the defendants to
accept trial before a district judge.
Judge Lands thus explained his re-
fusaI to sit in the case:
Considering the character and ma
ture of the defendants averment and
the proximity in, point of time of my
employment as a member of this bar as
an agen- of the department of justice
at least at the beginning of the period
respecting which the grand jurors
heard evidence, regardless of the
technical propositions involved, it be
comes obvious I cannot hear the case.
1 will send the case to my colleague in
the district court, Judge Carpenter"
Attorneys John Miller, Levy Mayer
and Moritz Rosenthal of the packers
insisted this was impossible-that the
United States supreme court had made
1t mandatory in such cases that the
certification be made to the circuit
court.
Judge Lands did not approve this
position and the hearing was put off

Up TO The JURY.
Babb Case Reaches That Stage
This Afternoon.
Closing Testimony Regarded as
Favorable to the Defendant.

A verdict in the John Babb murder
trial probably will be reached before
midnight tonight. Judge A. w. Dana
instructed the jurors to communicate
with their homes and make such ar
engagements that their wives would I'M
derstand their absence if they did not
get home until late tonight, or per-
haps not until tomorrow. When the
jurors file to the jury room at C
o'clock supper will be served them
there, and, if necessary, cots Will be
provided for the night.
The defense closed the Introduction
of testimony this morning. The state
| followed with rebuttal testimony. and
the jury was excused until 1870.
Judge Dana then read his instructions
to the jury and the argument Of the
case, which will occupy four hours,
was begun by counsel.
Star Witness for Defense.
The best witness of the trial for the
defense was called today. He is I. G..
ingalls, of Pleasant Valley, Ok. 1t was
on the arm of his seat Babb sat when
| he entered the smoking car to take a
smoke and got into trouble with
Smart, his later victim. The witness
answered quickly and intelligentry. He
was the only one who was sure of his
memory with the exception of John
Babb himself, who testified last even
| ing. The stories of the two coincide
exactly and ingalls, could not be shak-
| en- in examination.
! ingalls, testified that when the ne.
gro, Smart, proffered Babb a drink
the second time with vulgar oaths.
| Babb knocked the bottle from his
| hand and it broke on the window cas-
ing. Smart had started to rise up
when Babb struck him knocking him
back into the seat following his first
| u oil T1oh hi +Iar7
started to the rear and got into a
| conversation with Brown, cClored
| companion of Smart. Smart went to
the seat forward and picked up a
quart bottle of whisky. He passed back
| by ingalls, and said, I'll kill that --
l. -" Later he heard shots IL
the vestibule.
| This testimony agrees with that OF
Babb who spoke in his own defense
last night. The defendant, however,
supplied the balance of the story as
follows: He was standing talking to
Brown in the vestibule while on his
way back to his seat in the chair car
when suddenly Brown called to him
| Look outI' and he saw Smart COM
| ing at him with appraised arm and in
the hand bottle. He says he pulled
| his revolver and fired. He is not quite
clear about what happened after the
first shot, but denies that the shot the
negro after he had fallen.
The testimony of J. F. Snare, the
states star witness, which under
cross-eXamination impeached that OF
] the other witness, the porter, Frank
McWilliams, was in turn injured by
the testimony of 1. G. ingalls, and B
f. Wood, the Santa Fee special agent
who boarded the train at Topeka and
talked to the passengers of the smok-
er in an effort to learn the facts.
Special Agent Wood testified tha-
when he talked To Witness Snare 0Y
the train, he replied that he knew
nothing of the incident until the bot
tie of whisky broke just above hi:

thing about what happened out in the
vestibule.
Regarding Smart's Character.
In rebuttal, several colored men were
put on the stand to tell of Smart S
good character. Court room judgment
calls 1t a mistake. Former Chief of
Police Eaton and corps of policemen
had previously testified of the bad
character of Smart and told of sew
eral arrests and numerous fights. F.
NJ. Stonestreet, the colored undertaken.
testified that he knew Smart well and
that his reputation was good but ad
mitted on cross-examination that he
knew of his bouncing a brick off the
head of one Mr.. Coleman, cutting an
other man very seriously and engaged
in number of other fights Silas
Brown, a colored city fireman, knew
Smart to be a good character but also
knew of him being in trouble and had
not seen him much for several years.
Chas. Danrfdge, a Santa Fe gang fore
man, also colored, knew him to have
been a good man some seven years
ago Ed Schwartz, foreman in the
Wolff Packing company, formerly had
Smart under his wing and testified that
he knew nothing derogatory to Smart s
character. Smart, he said, had not
worked for him later than two years
before his death.
Lawyers to the Jury.

from the threads of evidence is the
