completed 1t, was called in March.
1905. Indictments against four COM
panies and sixteen individual packers
were voted by the Federal grand jury
July !. 1906. In December, the cases
were called for trial and were post
poned.
In March. 1905, Judge Humphreys
sitting in the United states Circuit
Court rendered n decision referred TO
since as the packers immunity bath.
The circumstances were these: Soon
after the formation Of the department
of commerce and labor and then COM
missioner of corporations, James Ru-
dolph GARFIELD, began, not for prose-
cution. but for the use of the depart
mept Of commerce and labor, an In
vestigation of the alleged beef trust.
The Immunity Bath.
Information desired by the COM
missioner was given by the packers
under promise by Garfield, that they
would be immune from prosecution
by the government for any violation
of the antitrust laws as they might
be revealed In the Information. Judge
Humphreys held that on this account
the packers could not be called upon
to answer the charges in the govern
| ment Indictment. Hence the i'm
muHity pdth.
In 1908 new investigation was
| begun and dropped with no apparen,
! reason. In 1903 still another inves-
tigation was begun in Chicago. Ir
| March. 1910. the Federal grand jury
| returned an indictment against thu
| National Packing Company and 1t,
subsidiary concerns. A bill In equity
! was filed-aasking that the Nationa
| Packing Company be dissolved.
| In June of the same year Judg,
Lands quashed the Indictment A
this time new grand Jury investi
| CATION was ordered. The packer
after a hard fight. were indicted Sep
| tember 18th. 1910. and then beGai
another long night, to prevent tn
cases from coming to trial. Ever,
legal expedient known to high train
ed corporation lawyers was resorte'
to. These attorneys raised a ney
| contention and one that was extra
ordinary. They pleaded this:
Counsci's Odd Claim.
That the beef barons could not b
indicted because OF the ''immunit
bath" granted them by Judge Hum
phreys. They contended that the pack
ers were permitted by virtue OF TIL
bath" to go ahead and form a com
bination--although they did not adm
that this had been done-and to d
whatever they liked with the fires
meat business of the country. TIL
contention was new. The packer
asked for the quashing OF the indict
mentS.
In March OF the present year Judg
Carpenter rendered his decision RI
fusing to quash the indictment an
ordering the indicted packers to tria
tyI H. Anr Nj
afforded the packers some hope tina
the government might drop It's cas-
against the Chicago men.
This hope was abandoned, howeve
and the packers counsel sought
further delay by attacking the valdit
of the criminal section OF the Shel
man law.

ENLIST AID OF CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear In
the Fight Against Tuber-
culosis.

Just how serious a problem tubercu-
losis is to the average church. and in
just what ways pastors are called up
on to minister to those suffering from
this disease. is the subject Of an In
vestigation which the national asso-
citation for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis is conducting in con-
nection with its plans for tuberculo-
sis day on April 30. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands of
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given
1t is planned to place these statistics
together with other educational ma
terial. in the hands OF every minister
In the country for his use in connec-
ton with tuberculosis day. Millions
of circulars and pamphlets on the pre-
vention OF tuberculosis will also be
issued. both from the national office
and from the headquarters of the 450
anti-tuberculosis associations who will
cooperate In the movement.

Footwear is made prominent this

attention thus focused has brought

But It is the decoration Of millinery
that fabric flowers, fashioned In the
milliner's own workrooms, have forged
to the front In popular favor. People
who want them should not complain
of high prices. Their recourse is to
make them at home-since the time
of the milliner is money. Almost ev-
cry woman owns stems and foliage
which may be used with these ribbon
flowers. for foliage and stems outlast
the millinery flowers as rule. Leaves
are easily smoothed out with small.
slightly warm iron. She who is clev-
er with paints can use them to advan-
tage in freshening foliage.
The roses and flowers are made in
such variety of ways that It Is best
to select certain kind and copy It..
Those in which the petals are made
of short lengths gathered at both ends
and along one edge. take less mate
rial than those that are wound about

squares of ribbon mounted in mil
