OF tho bill led tho fight for IT, seconded
by Representative Longworth Of Ohio. The
OBJ osltion came from the democratic de.
Representatives Cullop OF Indiana and Tn
dcrwood Of Alabama making the principal
speeches. Mr. I,ouden said every secrc-
tary OF state. from Olncy down. had urged
such legislation.
Mr.. Longworth said there were only two
ways Of broadening tho scope Of the Amer

increase the salaries to enable compare
lively poor man TO live on a scale with
his colleagues and tho other was to pro-
vide him with a suitable house in which

democrats to support the bill, claiming 1t

Packers Immunity
Bath Does Not Cover
Subsequent Actions
Wickersham Argues Promise Made by
Court Six Years Ago Does Not
Cover Pending Cases.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.---Arguing that the
sanctity of the grand jury room must be
held inviolate, even by the court which
created tho grand jury, Assistant United
States Attorney James S. Wilkerson, took
up again today the plea OF the government
that the immunity bath given packers in
1905 because they went before the investiga-
ing body and testified should not run
against prosecution of an offense alleged
to have occurred since that time.
He argued that the court had no right
to inquire what testimony went before the
grand jury or the manner of it's deliverance,
Because of this promise, he said that the
packers could not claim immunity
w. S. Kenyon, assistant attorney gem
eral, returned today from Iowa to take
charge of the prosecution of the govern

The church was packed with an assem-

sprinkling of foreign nobility. relatives
of the bridegroom.
Outside in the slushy streets there pushed
and showed the usual crowd of curiosity
seekers whose persistency makes police
arrangements such necessary part Of a
fashionable wedding in New York. Yet.
Notwithstanding the crowd, there was no
untoward incident and none Of the many

rections and established a zone through
which only the guests might pass. Vehicles
were diverted through parallel thorough
fares and the street cars, which run down
Madison avenue past St. Bartholomew 5,
whizzed through the zone without a stop.
Dozens OF persons, bound for the Grand

they sald-were bounced off the police
lines to scramble through side streets to
the station.
! The guests began to assemble more than
an hour before the,,wedding A few were
admitted, but through hitch in the ar
rangements more than 100 shivered out
side the church doors on the sidewalk for
a quarter OF an hour.
At 3:15 Lord Decies arrived. nearly an
hour before Miss Gould's car stopped at the
curb. He was resplendent in his uniform OF
the Seventh Hussars, sglitter with service
medals and blue and gold braid. He carried
