touring II q resolution introduced today
by Senator Kenyon, Of Iowa. is adopt
ed. He also presented a bill providing
for the reduction Of the mileage allow
ance from 20 to 10 cents a mile.
The passage Of these measures would
save more than 100000 year to the
national government. But these per-
quisites are highly valued by most of
the senator's ana thei cfore there is littl,
possibility cf the bills passing.
Senator Kenyon proposes in the reso-
lutior that the free senate barner shop
and bathrooms be abolished. He pat
ronizes neither the free barber shop
nor the free baths, nor does he accept
the expensive imported mineral waters
which are supplied to the Offices of
senators at the public expense.
Mr.. Kenyon was warned by another
senator not to protest against the ex-
listing system because one of the bar
bers is on the records as the appointee
Of the junior Iowa senator. He found
this to be true, but the barber was ap-
pointed when Allison was the Junior
senator.

New York. Dec. 22-One OF the great
est slumps in immigration ever record.
ed at the port OF New York is being
written into the records at Ellis island
during the closing days OF the year.
Already the records show that nearly
100000 fewer immigrants have landed
up to the present time than for the
corresponding period In 1910 and indi-
cations, Commissioner Williams states,
are that there will be a reduction of 80
per cent or more from the 1910 figures
for the year, and that the incoming
tide of humanity Is lower now than at
any time since 1908.
Tide Turns to Europe.
With the tide at it's ebb every ship
leaving for Europe Is crowded as never
before. One vessel sailing a couple Of
days ago left 500 steerage passengers
on the wharf because OF inability to
find accommodations aboard for them.
During the first ten days OF December.
1910, 1906 third class passengers
sailed for Europe: this year 25.245.
Outbound vessels carried nearly so per
cent more third class passengers this
year than last.

Chicago. Dec. 22-When the trial Of
the ten indicted meat packers was re-
sumed here today the defendants,
counsel continued the presentation Of
their opening statements to the jury.
The packers were indicted for alleged
violation Of the criminal clause Of the
Sherman antitrust law. ATTORNEY NJ.
w. Borders. representing the interests
Of Morris & Co., briefly discussed the
case of his client
"At the outset want to declare that
our defense will be not guilty" he said.
"These defendants are between two op-
posing forces The livestock produc-
ers want high prices, the consumers
want low prices. No matter what is
done, there is a hue and cry from one
side or the other The question to be
decided by you in this case Is whether
these defendants have entered into an
alleged agreement to control the pur-
chase of livestock and the sale Of fresh
meats. I say the charges of the gov
ernment are false.
Objects to Ancient History.
District Attorney wilkerson's aca-
demic discussion of the alleged pool of
the dead past is ancient history. AS I
listened to him wondered whether we
were trying the living or the dead.
In the days to which the govern
ment's attorney refers nearly every
line of business had some kind Of trade
agreement. The railroads gave rebates
and passes. Other lines Of business
had their own way Of meeting condi-
tions.
II am not going to deny or admit
that there were pools in the packing
business in the old days because it has
nothing to do with the case"
