new wireless apparatus for the use of
troops in the field is carried on horse,

a dynamo to produce the electric dis

through one hundred yards of double
copper wires suspended between twenty

Chicago. Dec. 2S.--Assistant United
States District Attorney James II.
W'ilkerson late yesterday issued a
statement regarding his action In
sweeping aside civic suits to make
way for criminal prosecution OF the
men composing the National Packing
company. Mr.. Wilkerson asserts that
there Is but one reason for the dis
missal OF the civil case, and that is
the desire OF the government for Inn
mediate and vigorous criminal prose-
cution Of the packers
The statement follows
"The petition against the packers
was fled on the 2ist OF March. 1910.
Afterwards, there was grand jury
investigation as a result OF which In
dIctments were returned charging
some OF the defendants In the bill
with criminal violations OF the anti
trust laws. Since the return Of those
indictments the defendants In the
equity case have asked number OF
extensions Of time with which TO an
swer and those extensions have al
ways been granted.
III was thought TO be fully under
stood by both the government and
The attorneys for the packers that
there was TO be no further proceedings
In the equity until the trial OF the
criminal cases.
The purpose OF the dismissal Of
the equity case Is 10 make clear the
position Of the government that the
trial sof the criminal cases Is to be
vigorously pushed and Is 10 be inter-
feredg with no way whatever BY the
