PACKERS MUST STAND TRIAL
DemurrerS to Indictments Against Big Meat Men
 Overrused
Judge Carpenter Rules That Decision in 1906 Applies Only to Pre-
 viOuS Cases.

Chicago, March 23-The indicted Chicago packers have lost their fight against going to trial On the indict- several months ago. Judge Carpenter, in the United States district court, yesterday overruled their demurrer to the charges, and held that the immun- ity granted by Judge Humphrey of the Federal circuit court in 1906 did not apply to the present charges which, he held were based on evidence not included in the Humphrey decision.
 Judge Carpenters decision occupied nearly an hour in reading and went into the controversy relating to inn munity with great detail
 In brief, the packers position was that any conspiracy that might have existed was the plotting prior to and that the immunity from prosecu- tion granted them extended over all future time, so long as the acts cov- cred by the 1906 decisison remained the same.
 In deciding this, Judge Carpenter ruled that the immunity granted then was only for acts which had been committed prior to the date of the indictment, and could not pertain to any unlawful act which was per- formed after that time. The evidence given by the packers before the grand jury, he said, could not relate to that which had not been committed, and hence could have no future applica- ton.
 As to the contention of the defence that the conspiracy ended with the first plotting he ruled that so long as the acts complained of continued, the conspiracy remained in effect, and unlawfully acts growing out of the conspiracy and occurring after the in- dicted men had testified before the grand jury were new and separate of fences and subject to the operation of law.
 Tn addition the court denied the offences admitted before the grand jury by the packers prior to their inn munity and from the criminal re- sponsibility for which they were freed by the Humphrey decision, as none the less criminal in themselves, and he said they could be used in prosecutions which were predfcated on a tinuation of the offences.

PARIS MODELS EXHIBITED BY
 LOCAL FIRM

It really seems true. that for the first time in a number of years, wom- en are to have the opportunity to use their own good taste in the selection of hat that is becoming. The styles shown today at the annual opening of Gottlieb & German Co.,, at 104S Main street, opposite Howland's, were so varied that individual taste is prac- tically left to it's own. Amid the many styles, any woman, it would seem, ought to be able to find a hat that would suit her taste and ideas. It is left to her fancy whether she shall be conservative or the reverse. She can select hat that Is enormous, medium or microscopic in size and still be with the '.go.'
 All day long shoppers thronged the Gottlieb & German Go. store gazing over the new models, examinging their quality and expressing themselves as we'll satisfied. The opening will con- tinue for the remaining days of the week.
 The numerous models include Paris as we'll as other European center inn portations creations from the firm S own designers, who have been with them for several years and who have won distinction for excellent taste and judgment. There are also models from prominent American artists principally New York designers. There is also a superb showing of new ideas in mill linery trimmings.
 Original designing is enc of the fore most accomplishments of the Gottlieb & German Co. establishment. They are at all times ready to put your own ideas into the kind of finished hats that you might personally desire. They are at all times worthy of your con- sideration when it is a question of re- fined millinery at all times ready and willing to have you visit their store and see what they have to offer.

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS
 WON'T BE ALLOWED TO
 ORGANIZE LABOR UNION

Washington, March 23-Charging the American Federation of Labor with trying to aid the railway mail clerks in circumventing a Presidential order, Second Assistant Postmaster General stewart today. abandoned his former stand that the department opposed ''all secret organizations among it's employees, and admitted that objec- tions to the present plan of the clerks to organize were directed solely against the labor union'' phase
 The Presidential order to which Stewart referred prohibits government employees from petitioning Congress in their own behalf He charged that the American Federation of Labor was trying to induce railway mail clerks to organize by promising to take their petitions to Congress for them.
 'sIt is this inducement of evasion that has caused the, department to take it's present stand,'' said Stewart. Evasion is violation
 "The department cannot consent to an alliance of any of it's clerks with the American Federation of Labor. We have no objection to the organiza- tions within the service and confined solely to the service.''

ANOTHER MOVE IN
 REDD'NG'S GREAT
 DAVE HARUM CASE
Special to the Farmer

T tl.y
 Bedding. March 23-There was an- other move today in the famous horse transaction which began last Septem- Der when Abe Tarlov of Norwalk. bought horse from John Munich of Bedding, for s625O, paying therefore with a $75 check drawn by his broth CT, Charles Tarlov, and receiving s12.50 in change. The week following the trade Tarlov sneaked the horse back into Munich's barn by a messenger. Munich promptly hired the same man to take the horse back to NOrwalk. The next week TarlOv himselef came to the Ridge with the horse, and, Munich having been warned of his approach, had his barn locked and guarded. Munich refused to accept the horse, whereupon Tarlov threw down the. s12.50 in front of him and tied the animal to a telegraph pole in the highway.
 Munich turned the check over to Representative Lester O. Peck in a business transaction. and when Peck tried to collect on the paper he found that payment had been stopped He sued Charles TarlOv, the maker of the check. This suit was recently set tied through Tarlov's> paying not only the face of the check, but the costs as well, something over $1OO in all.
 Today Abe Tarlov has brought suit against Munich to recover the money he paid for the horse, as well as other expenses he has been put to through the transaction, claiming damages of s1C0 The case is returnable before a Norwalk justice.
 Meanwhile the humane authorities are anxious to lay, hands on Tarlov. After the horse had been taken from the telegraph pole by Agent Warner of the Humane Society, the animal was sold to pay the costs of keeping it. after several weeks detention The Humane Society took up the case to prosecute Tarlov, but could not serve a warrant because he was out of the State The prospective prosecution of Tarlov is still hanging fire.

Good So Far As 1t Goes.

The verdict against the Standard
Oil Trust by the United States Su-
preme Court meets with universal
satisfaction. 1t is in line With the
opinion that the public generally has
always held-the opinion that the
trust was an octopus illegally re-
straining trade and enabling Mr.
Rockefeller and his colleagues to draw
enormous dividends at the expense OF
the consumer. All the same it will
not do to be over sanguine as to the
ultimate effect Of the decision, which,
stringent though IL may be in some
respects, leaves some important
things. uncleared.
It must also be embered that
the Standard Oil has immense wealth,
employs the highest legal salent and
leaves no stone unturled by which,
it may circumvent the law. It has
a reputation (Which is common to
most trusts) when it gets into a tight
corner, of giving a letter obedience
to law, while breaking 1t all to
pieces in spirit. This the Standard
Oil will no doubt strive to do now
that the Supreme Court has decreed
its abolition. In fact it IS rumored
that it may make its head Office IN
London and by some hocus pocus
method continue to do business much
the same as ever. When the public
gees some shrinkage in Oil dividends
and a readiness to accept in good
faith the decision Of the Court. then
people will believe that a new or
der of things in business life has
come about.
In ne meantime the decision Is
encouraging in that it shows that
the greatest monopoly is not ao we
the law. j.: is encouraging a!s' in
that it makes the way clea- fGr
reaching other illegal com Dinations.
