 The men who were indicted Sep tember 2. 1910, and who are affected by the decision are:
 J. ogden Armour, president of the Armour and Company.
 Iouis F. Swift. president of Swift and Company.
 Edward F. Swift, vice president oi Swift and Company.

 Francis A. Fowler, director of Swift and Company.
 Thomas J Connors. superintendent of Armour and Company.
 Louis H. Heyman. manager for Morris and Company.
 Attorneys for the government de- clared the decision was a tremendous blow at the packers defense and said the prosecution had scored at every point.
 The indictments charged that the packers controlling the greater part Iof the meat industry arc divided into three groups, the Armour Swift and Morris groups. and that these three have a common medium of exchange of price lists and instructions through the National Packing Company. Tne indictments also charged that the three groups have an arrangement whereby they would not comnete in territory belonging to another group. In the demurrer 10 the indictments. the packers held that the sherman law was too indefinite and uncertain in defining the elements of the crime to justify the indictments. Judge Car Ipenter denied this. "The statute defines the acts de clared to be unlawful in simple Eng fish,, he ruled. The purpose of the act when ascertained from the lan- gnage used. Is as clear as may be. ]"

PAUL BEATTIE FREE
SEEKS HOME FIRST
ICHMo Nd. vA-special.-

r 1 H NJ o n d. VA-Special.-
After forty-one days Of imprison-
ment, during which he labored almost
constantly under a nervous strain and
general i'll health, with the awful bur-
den of the testimony against his ac-
cused cousin weighing down on his
mind, Paul Douglas Beattie, twenty
one years old, the principal witness
for the commonwealth in the trial of
Henry Beattie, walked out into the
clear, crisp morning air, under the
full blue of the sky, early this morn
ing-a free man.
Unequivocal orders for his and Beu-
lah Binford's release came to the
Henrico county Jail about o'clock.
When Paul was apprised of the good
news his breakfast was ABOUT to be
served. Jailer Garnett read his re-
lease to him. so, I'm really at lib
erty?" Intercepted Paul, as if he dis
believed his ears.
Yes" said Mr.. Garrett. You can
go where you please now"
Where is my hat?" asked Paul
Why? Are you going right away ?
You'd better eat your breakfast first"
said Mr.. Garnett.
DO I love a jail?" returned Paul.
| Breakfast? I'm going to eat that
outside OF this place this morning, just
to see how ii feels. You are not GO
ing to catch me hanging around here.
I'm off for my family and home
sweet home" And he was in so short
a time that it would make a Western
Limited blush.
After thanking the prison officers
| for all their kindness to him during
| his stay there, and with the briefest
of fond adieuX, Paul vanished through
| the open door of the prison and had
soon melted into the crowds outside
| But Paul did not get far. At almost
! every step he was held up by someone
who recognized him either as a for
mer friend or from the widespread
publication of his picture in the pa
pers. All kinds of questions, both ri
( diculous and serious, were fired at him
| by people whose curiosity got the bet
ter of them and on all sides he was
| stared at.
But Paul was too glad to be a free
man to bother about their inquisi.

porter shortly after getting out:

WHO WILL PAY COST
OF BEATTIE TRIAL

While the Supreme Court held i'm
the McCue case that the Common
wealth could charge the heavy eN-
penses Of that prisoners trial against
his estate and force il to pay them.
the State, in the event OF Beattie's
conviction, may not fare so well.
Beattie. il appears, is not man OF
property. and nobody else could be
held responsible for the costs in
CURED in trying and convicting him.
A great deal OF money. by the way,
has been spent in taNicab hire for
the detectives and Richmond police.
IL is said that one liveryman alone
has a bill for S40O. Who will pay
this? Probably, however. the sleuths
who rode so luXuriously, really did
not spend more than they would have
done had they used the trolley car TO
Centralia and a mule team to the
courthouse. The cheapest price at
which one can possibly make the trip
here is so cents each way. as a jour
ney under such circumstances is ac-
companied by great Inconvenience
and tedious delays.

OFF FOR new YORK
RICHM Nd. YA-speciaI.-

II Il " II Al " N ~, NA-OO0GlA--
Beulah Binford Is no longer with
US. She left Henrico Jail shortly after
1880 o'clock and at 1901 was aboard
a train for the North, all alone The
train is due in New York at $40,
anu If Beuiah is ,-nXiOus to see Broad
way atiame, she will reach there at
the proper time, as il will then begin
to glitter.
Beulah came from the jail to the
Byrd Street Station in a taxicab. ac-
companied by three men, and for
once, did not seem to court public
attention. She entered through the
! Eighth Street walkway, passed
through the baggage room and was
on the train before most of the crowd
at the depot knew of her arrival She
was clad very neatly and becomingly
"a negligee suit of light blue and a
blue and white hat.
No woman was seen there to tell her
goodbye.
Beulah, however, cannot claim that
she was neglected, for a curious
outside of the station to give her an
enthusiastic send-of. Beulah smiled
as the train drew out.
Arrive I'm New York Tonight.
Beulah will arrive in New York
city this evening. She has signed q
contract for four months with the
Lucas Film Service Company to pose
for illustrations for love songs and
for the motion pictures Of the muir
der, which this company will put on
the market.
Special Agent L. L. Scherer said he
understood from Beulah that she will
receive a figure sufficient to be inter
eSting and enough to give her a start
i'm life. He said that Beulah was over
JOyed TO leave the HenricO county Jail
and we'll satisfied with the offer she
had received. He said that another
telegram from another concern in
Washington had arrived, but could
not be considered, as she had already
entered into the contract with the
Lucas Company. Mr.. Lucas. Of New
York, representing his company, and
one OF his managers arrived here this
morning to escort Beulah to New
York. The three left together from
the Byrd Street Station.
Goodbye, Henry; Goodbye, Richmond.
Beulah waXed angry when shown a
morning paper containing the COM
ment which IL was reported Henry
made with reference to her talents
for the stage. Henry certainly has
no reason to try to ridicule me.
haven't tried to do him any harm in
his trial, she said to Mr.. Scherer
just before leaving. But goodbye.
Henry; goodbye. Richmond"
Before leaving, Beulah. when
pressed to give her opinion of
how Henry would fare with the
jury, said that she saw few
chances In his favor. but would
not undertake TO forecast the
verdict. Il certainly don't wish
him any HARM" she added.
1t is not the general impression OF
those who have been associated with
Beulah in the last few days that she
has any intention of ever returning
to this city. New York will catch
and hold a girl OF her type, II she
can make her way" said Mr.. Scherer.

and the United States may result from
the seizure Of the Gloucester, Mass,
fishing schooner, Arbutus, at Louis
burg, n. S.. where she put in and
took on a consignment of fish for her

This was the first seizure ever made

United States fishing vessels may only
put into Canadian waters for supplies
or shelter.
The owners of the vessel have
served notice that they will appeal to
the United States Government to
make an issue of the affair. They
claim that other fishing schooners
have been in the habit Of putting
into Canadian and Nova Scotian ports
under similar conditions.
