JURY BOX FULL
Attorneys for Packers Begin Work of
Elimination.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Attorneys for the
indicted Chicago meat packers today
began their first active work in help
ing to select a jury to try the defend
ants on charges of violating the crimi-
nal provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law.
The jury box contained a full panel
of u men, rendered to the defense at
the close of yesterdays session of court
after the government attorney had ex-
hausted ten of the 30 peremptory chal-
lenges allowed each side.
OF the twelve men it was predicted
that not more than two in the panel
would remain after the government
had exercised it's peremptory cha1-
lenge-
Seven are farmers and the other
five small Chicago merchants or sales
men. Counsel for the packers were
expected to object to farmers as jury
men, the control exercised by the
packers over the price of cattle being
generally considered as having
aroused preiudice

BOTH PARTIES FAIL
Senator Newlands Says They Don't
Live Up to Pledges.

Washington, Dec. s.-The National Riv-
ers and Harbors congress closed its
eighth annual convention here today.
Resolutions urging the adoption by the
government of a broad, liberal and sys-
teznatic policy of waterway Improvement
were adopted and were presented to Pres
ident Taft Vice President Sherman and
Speaker Clark.
Senator NewIands attacked the appar-
ent Indifference of congress to the de-
mands for waterway improvement. He
quoted the platforms of the Republican
and Democrat parties, regarding the ex-
tension and preservation of waterways
and declared both parties had failed to
live up to their pledges. He said the
apathy and lack of initiative on the part
of congress was the cause of the spread
of the demand for the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall.
The claim of the city of Spokane for
the next convention was presented by
Senator Poindexter-
The offices of the congress have been
removed from Cincinnati to Washington
and it is probable that this city may be
made the permanent meeting place.

Mcmahon, the younger, pleaded guilty

SHARP IN TROUBLE
He Must, Apparently, Live With
His 1--WE Wives.
Neither VIII Leaye-He Cannot
Get a Divorce.

P1ttSburg, Kan, Dec. 8.--Peter Sharp
VIII not have an easy time getting q
divorce from Celia Samantha or Louisa,
his present wife. She has called on
lawyers and made known her intention
of giving Mr.. Sharp a fight for the dl-
vorce WHich he announced he had de-
clded to ask And that attitude means
trouble for Mr.. Sharp.
IF Peter should get a divorce from
Celia Samantha, wouldn't he be unmar-
ried?' lawyer asked today.
A few months ago Celia Samantha
was denied a bigany complaint against
Sharp, When Ann Catherine was on her
way back to Pittsburg from New Or
leans, to become a member of sharp s
household. The absence of one from the
other, IN the case OF Peter and Ann
Catherine, she was told, for five con-
secutive years, gave ground for the pre-
sumption that each was dead and each
could marry without fear of prosecution
for bigamy, under the law. In other
words, absence in such cases not only
makes the heart grow fonder but also
acts as a sort of automatic divorce
court.
Peter Within the Law.
When Peter married Celia Samantha.
she was told, he was entirely within the
law and could not be prosecuted for
having too many wives. And now arises
the question: If Peter should get a dI-
vorce from Celia Samantha, wouldn't
he be an unmarried man? In order,
then, that Ann Catherine should be his
wife, wouldn't it be necessary Tor him
/ to be married again in order to have
a legal wife2 A divorce from Celia, it
is asserted, will not act as d wedding
with Ann.
But the getting of a divorce is the
first thing that contents Sharp. Unless
he has good grounds for a separation,
! entirely free from any reference to Ann
Catherine, he cannot obtain divorce
if Celia fights it, and with the notoriety
which has been given the case it is
likely that it would not be easy to get
a decree even though the defendant de-
faults If he should get divorce, he
will have to wait six months before he
can marry again under the Kansas law.

CONVICT LABOR RUINOUS.
Prison Made Goods Drive Manufae-
turers to the Wall.

Prison Made Goods Drive Manufae.
turers to the Wall.
In brochure just published, dealing
with the convict labor problem. the
following excerpt is of interest:
Reviewing the general question of
convict labor as competitive factor,
it may be said that manufacturers
consider such competition unfair and
ruinous. demoraliZing to markets and
business stability. compelling the re-
duction in prices below a fair margin
Of profit and often even below the cost
Of production. Wages are forced to
the lowest limit in a vain effort to
lower the cost of production to that
of the prison contractor. In some
cases deterioration of quality of ma
teria Is used. and in others an entire
abandonment to the prisons of the
manufacture of certain grades of
goods has become necessary.
''In the boot and shoe industry the
testimony of manufacturers Is that low
cost of production of prison made
goods-a cost decreasing steadily with
the increasing efficiency Of the convict.
through the equipment of prisons with
improved machinery-is ena bling the
prison manufacturer to drive the en-
ployer Of free labor out of the market
or force on him reduction in the
regular prices Of many lines of goods.
