PACKERS LOSE THIRD FIGHT
Federal Judge Carpenter Refuses to
Grant Motion to Dismiss Grim
inal Proceedings.

Chicago.-The indicted beef pack
ers lost their third fight in the federal
courts to evade trial on the criminal
charges against them when Judge
George A. Carpenter, in the United
States district court on Monday, held
that they could not take advantage of
contempt proceedings to have the
criminal case dismissed.
The court denied a motion to dis
miss the indictments against the pack
ers and allowed counsel for the de-
PENDANTS ten days within which to
take the next step in the matter IN
less something unforeseen occurs, the
packers will file a demurrer or plead
to the indictments.
Judge Carpenter said he was anx-
ious to have the matter proceed with
out further delay, so that the trial
might be concluded before the next
summer adjournment of court.

MONACO WINS CONSTITUTION
Prince Albert Yields to Demand for
Reform-Threats Made Against
Famous Casino.

Monte Carlo. Monaco's 95 ma
tive citizens and 1856 naturalized
residents granted constitutional gov
eminent in proclamation issued by
Prince Albert.
The gift of constitutional monarchy
to the worlds smallest principally,
which had been promised as Christ
mas present, came only after the ma
tive Monacans had banded together
with the 20 born Monacans inhabiting
Paris and laid plans for revolution
in the eight square miles of territory
comprising the nation.
It was the threat to wreck havoc
with the casino, the worlds greatest
gambling establishment, in Monte
Carlo, that brought Prince Albert to
time. This establishment divides it's
profits between the ruler and French
syndicate and is the principal source
of revenue of the country. The closing
Of the place and general uprising in
the eight square miles of territory
would have driven away the thousands
of visitors who annually frequent the
gaming tables and contribute to the
purse of the prince.

LESSONS FROM THE CENSUS.

State lines do not coincide with nat
ural divisions, and the census might
be made to tell interesting stories that
may lie concealed, if figures were
massed according to other divisions.
That the population of Iowa has de-
clined by 1000 in the past decade Is
remarkable enough; but more strlk'
ing result appears when geograph-
ical, rather than a political, area is
considered. Bounded by the Miss1s'
sippi on the east, the Missouri on the
south, the Missouri and the Big Sioux
on the west, and the southern bound.
ard Of Minnesota on the north, Is an
area of $4,000 square miles, or nearly
one-third larger than all New England
1t comprises the entire state Of Iowa
and the northernmost A counties OF
Missouri There is probably no other
portion Of the United States Of equal
extent which contains larger proper
ton of good farming land. The last
decade has been one of exceptional
prosperity-yet in this entire region
there now live 100000 fewer people
than resided there ten years ago, says
the New York Evening Post. Outside
the cities of more than $4,000 inhabit
ants, the decrease in population since
1900 has been upward of 100000. This
is a kind of story that the boldest
prophet would not have ventured to
predict as a possibility a quarter of
century ago, and is we'll worth the
careful attention of political students
today.

TAFT TALKS ON PHILIPPINES
WILL BE LONG TIME BEFORE
ISLANDS ARE FREE.
Tells Military Order of the Cardiac
That Natives VIII Not Welcome
Their independence.

Washington. - President Taft in
addressing the members of the Or
der of the Carabao, in which he was
installed as a member, defined his at
titude in general way toward the
Philippine Islands.
The Order of the Carabao, named
for the buffalo, which is the Philippine
beast of burden, is composed Of COM
missioned officers of the regular and
volunteer service who honorably
served in the Philippines during the
Spanish war and the Filipino insur-
rection, which followed.
The burden of the presidents re-
marks was to the effect that, while he
was unwilling to say that the Philip
pines never would be independent,
lin my judgment, we are likely to re-
tain them for considerable time"
The president expressed it as his
opinion that most of the discussion
of immediate independence for the
Philippines had political motive and
was designed more to get votes than
to achieve independence for the Fill
pAuOS. no asset LCN IAaL Az 0SPSAA
ency was better managed, that the
free trade which the United States
had accorded to the Philippines had
doubled their trade, and that it would
still further increase.
He went on to say in substance that
he would be prepared to see the
islands given up when 1t was honor
able to part with them, but that
would only be when the people there
were in position to establish a gov
eminent characterized by due process
Of law" and entitled to the respect OF
all the nations of the world
Furthermore, he declared it as his
belief that even when the time came
to give the islands a true autonomy.
the people there would not wish to
sever all bonds connecting them with
this country; increasingly the people
would appreciate what the United
States had done and would yet do for
them.
