DECLARES THAT NINTH
 FLOOR DOOR WAS OPEN.
Mrs. May LeVantini Contradicts Tes-
 timony of Shopmates.

New York, Dec. 19=Mrs. May Le- vantini, a young woman who slid down an elevator cable and escaped from the Triangle Waist company's fire of March 29. in which 147 lives were lost, told the jury in general sessions court today that the ninth floor door of the factory was not locked when the fire started. The story hatly contradicts the evidence of all of the girls pro duced by the prosecution and made a dramatic feature for the opening day of the defense of Harris & Blanck, who are charged with causing the death of Margaret Schwartz. one of the fire victims.
 Max D. Steuer, attorney for the de fense, introduced testimony to show that the state labor department had inspected the factory up to 29 days before the fire and that in no report had it been shown that the exits were at fault. He also submitted reports to show that the factory doors were open during the working hours on the ~occa- sions of the inspectors visits.
 Mrs. Levantini was called and test- fled that she was an operator on the ninth floor. She said she was in the dressing room when she heard the cry of fire, and ran to the Washington Place door. There was a key in the lock and she opened the door, she said and went out in the landing, but see ing flames and smoke she ran back and closed the door, She and Lena Bertini, another employe, went down the elevator cables hand over hand, and she had her legs badly torn, she declared.
 Mrs Levantini said she was suing the defendants for SIG. 900. but that she had never seen either since the fire, and that no settlement had ever been made On cross examination she ad- mitted that she hoped to settle the suit.
 If there is anything coming I'll take it; why not2'' she remarked.
 Do you think it will be easier now ?''
 t+I don't know"
 Her testimony was not materially shaken on cross examination Other witnesses testified that the door be- hind which so many lives were lost in the fire had been open on that oc- casion and that the key was attached to it with a string
 The trial was adjourned until to- morrow.

BEEF PACKERS SEVERELY ARRAICNED
District Attorney Wilkerson Declares That They Had the Most Powerful Engine For the Suppression of Compet
 ton Ever Devised in the Industrial World Met Week
 ly to Fix Prces-Tral of Ten Beef Barons Under Way

adding the killing charge to the price of cattle on the hoof and deductng allowances for hide and fat, IS in e1- cess of the real cost, and gives the packers larger margin of profit than their own figures indicate
 That the country was divided under the old pooling system into different [ divisions and each member of the pool allotted a certain percentage Of the business, and that a similar system is still in existence.
 Met Weekly to Fix Prices.
 That a system of forfeits was paid to members who failed to get their per centage of the business of the different divisions, and these forfeits were in the nature of fines on those mem berS who exceeded their allotment.
 That formerly the representatives of the combination met every Tuesday in the office of Chicago lawyer and fixed the prices of meat.
 Code of Trade Terms Used.
 That since the organization of the National Packing company the direc- tors of that organization hold meetings at which the price of the product is fixed.
 That specially devised code of trade terms was used at these meetings where prices wero made.
 What Evidence Will Show.
 '@The evidence which will be pre- eented' said Mir. Wilkerson, will show that no other conclusion can be reached than that the National Pack ing company was used for the purpose of continuing the operations of the old pool, and for that alone.
 Mir Wilkerson ridicuIed the claim which he anticipated the defense would make that the National Packing com pany was outgrowth of any atte1n pt to organize a benevolent monopoly
 Opening Not Finished.

 Powerful Engine to Suppress ComPeti-
 ton.
 In outlining the case MT. Wilkerson in a speech replete with bitter 1nvect1ve declared that the defendants through the National Packing company had continued the old pooling practices of the packers and had actually put into effect the most powerful engine for the suppression of competition ever de- VIsed in the industrial world. All the defendants were in the courtroom and listened intently as step bX step the theory of the prosecution was pre- scented.
 Several Points EmphAsizsd.
 MT WiIkerson laid special emphasis or the following points;
 That the combination represented by the ten Chicago meat packers under Indictment Is the most powerful engine the fixing of prices ever known in the history of the industrial world.
 System IngeniousIy Devised.
 That the system is so ingeniously de- Tised and so closely guarded that the men in the lower grades of employment are made to believe that the corpora tons in the combination are actual competitors
 Have Dominated Meat Industry.
 That the indicted packers or their predecessors have dominated the meat industry of the country and fixed prices since 1880.
 Continue Work of Old Pool.
 That the real purpose and design of the National Packing company, which was organized by members of the com ltination March IS. 1903. is to continue the work accomplished by the old pool"
 That the key to the system is the uniform method used by the members In figuring the test cost of the product. No Allowance Made for By-Products. That this test cost, arrived at by

TAFT's ACTION RATIFIED BY
 SENATE.
lCnnIinned frnm Page 0ne-l ,

(Continued from Page One) of 1892. in the opinion Of Senator Will jam Alden Smith of Michigan, because the favored clause of that treaty has been swept aside by the operation of the maximum and minimum clause of the Payne tariff law carried into eff feet by the presidents proclamation of July IS. 1910. The senator's view was discussed widely at the capitol today as a feature hitherto lost sight of in consideration of the annullment of the pact.
 After careful examination of the tariff of 1909'' said Senator Smith, T am positive that the second section. known as the maximum and minimum clause, has so far as proclamations have been issued hereunder, super Russian treaty and that our commer- ciaI relations with Russia will con- tinue unimpaired as long as no change is made in that regulation.
 By formal proclamation issued by President Taft, July IS. 1910. the Rus sian government was given the mini mum duties under the Payne-Aldrich law. This will remain tho law of the land and the proclamation insures to Russia every consideration that iu could possibly have under the treaty of 1882 to remain in force so far as her commercial relations with the United States are concerned
 'eTherefore, the more specific course of the foreign relations committee Of the senate will accomplish the humane end sought by the most ardent advo- cates of abrogation."
 Senator Smith is a member of the foreign relations committee of the senate, and for many years was a member of the foreign affairs com mittee of the house. He stated his contention on the floor of the senate in replying to Senator Hepburn, who depIored the possible breaking of com mercial relations between the two countries

The clerk of that committee said yes terday that the committee would re- port in favor of a substantial appro- priatton for experimental parcels post which would be confined, at first to rural routes.
