PACKERS LOSE
IN HIGH COURT
United States Supreme Tribun.
al Denies a Stay.
COUNSEL SILENT ON RULING
Trial Must Be Started, but Search
for Legal LoophoIes May
Stop 1t at Almost
Any Time.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-The United States
supreme court declined to grant a stay
or proceedings in the case of the ten
Chicago packers who are charged with
conspiracy in restraint of trade
Levy Mayer and John S. Miller,
counsel for the packers, who went to
Washington in an effort to stop the
trial. declined to make any comment
on developments. 1t was announced,
however, that both sides previously
had agreed to expedite the selection
of jury in every possible way
Dispatches from Washington say the
supreme court proceedings were in
formal. No written opinion was hand
ed down. The packers had asked for
a stay of trial pending a decision on
the constitutiCnaIity of the criminal
section of the Sherman law. When
the court convened Chief Justice
White merely announced verbally
that the motion for a stay was de-
MED.
Ordinarily the court would have
taken the case under consideration I'M
til the Saturday conference. The fact
that the trial was scheduled for today
is supposed to have been responsible
for speedy action on the part of JUS
tice White.
According to lawyers who have fol-
lowed the developments in the pack
ers' case closely this decision does
not clear the way entirely for an un-
INSTRUCTED prosecution Of the defend
ants. The trial apparently must be
called without further legal quibbling
but may be interrupted at any time
by another and still more important
decision Of the supreme court.

Lonoon's NEW LORD MAYOR.
Solemn Farce Of EIsetins Chief Exeeu.
tive Enacted.

.
London. Sept. 7s.-Having been an
alderman for thirteen years and filled
the office OF sheriff for one term. Sir
Thomas Boor Crosby, wealthy merchant
and hnAncier, today went thru the SOL
emn farce Of being elected lord mayor
Of tho city Of London. He will be
formally Installed in office on Nov. =.
when the time-honored pageant known
as the Lord Mayors Show" will take
place.
Unlike all other great municipalities.
Londons lord mayor is not chosen by
the people, tho there was a time-some
800 or more years ago-when they real
~ were elected by the citizens But
the aldermen, who are elected for life.
decided that a position so exalted as
that OF lord mayor should not be
thrown open to outsiders and made de-
pendent on popular favor. So they fixed
things up SO that every alderman. II
he live long enough, is assured OF be-
coming lord mayor when his turn
comes. When Sir Thomas Vesey
Strong was elected last year. Sir
Thomas Crosby was "rcxt." and now it
is his turn to take the civic chair.
The system pleases the aldermen and
does not make much difference to any
body else. The office of lord mayor has
long since been shorn OF it's once great
powers and has become mere figure
head billet. tho 1t j. invested with more
fictitious dignity than any other post
in England No more violent contrast
is to be found the world over than that
existing between the various duties of
tho lord mayor. Theoretically. at
least. the king of Great Britain and
Ireland and emperor of India can not
enter the city of London without his
consent. Yet he spends Il considerable
part OF each day dispensing justice upon
inebriates and other petty offenders
who have broken the peace of the
square mile Of territory over which he
rules. In addition to his duties AS 4
magistrate he is required to attend
probably 500 public and semi-puh!ic
dinners. balls. receptions and meetings
Of various kinds during the year he
spends in the high office. For these
duties he receives salary equal to
that OF the president OF the United
States and twice as much as that or
the prime minister of Great Britain.
Perhaps It is as we'll that the lord
mayor nowadays does not possess the
supreme power OF some OF his early
predecessors. The mayor who did
fealty to Henry III. for instance. had
the temerity to add, My lord. so long
as you unto us will he good lord and
king. we will be faithful and duteous
unto you" Then there was the Nor
man mayor who, being interrupted by
a member OF the mob when reading
what would now correspond to the riot
act. merely ordered the offender to be
taken into neiShhoring street to he
beheaded, and went on reading.
