MEAT PACKERS CANNOT
ESCAPE PROSECUTION

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Judge George A.
Carpenter, in the United States district
court, yesterday denied the motion Of
the indicted meat packers that Grim
inal prosecution against them be for
hidden. Their plea was made on the
promise that if they were guilty OF
conspiracy to restrain trade they then
were violating Circuit Judge Gross
cup injunction of several years ago
against such practice. Contempt
proceedings, argued the packers. were
the proper method Of attack by the
government.

MORE INSTRUCTORS DESIRED
BY UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS

Seattle, Jan. Tn his recommends
ton to the coming session of the
Washington state legislature on the BIZ
ennial appropriation bill, President
Thomas F. Kane, of the University OF
Washington, shows the great progress
made by the state institution during
the past two years, and offers the pre-.
d1ctlon of still more satisfactory
growtA in the immediate future.
The amount asked from the state for
the support of the university during
the next two years is considerably in
excess of the amount heretofore grant
ed, but according to President Kane, it
is no more than the exigencies of the
occasion demand.
Shows Need of Teachers.
On account of the 35 per cent in
crease in attendance, the addition of
forty teachers and instructors is deem
ed necessary, and even this increase in
the teaching facilities will leave the
University of Washington with more
actual students to the teacher tnan are
found at any other university of it's
class among state universities, save
Kansas, Texas and Missouri. The ratio
as planned will be fifteen students per
instructor for Washington, whereas
California and Stanford have one in
structor for eight pupils.
Plan to Raise Salaries.
1t is also planned to raise the sal
aries of such of the heads of depart
ments as have earned recognition, a
step made necessary by the attempts
of other institutions to lure away sew
eral of the faculty by offers of higher
salaries during the past year.
The amounts asked for by President
Kane are in part as follows: For gen
eral maintenance, $SS4,344, of which
$4,000 is for repairs and additions to
the buildings obtained from the A-Y.-
P. exposition: for salaries of instruc-
tors, $539,4S2.20 is requested, and
$105,427.S4 to pay janitors and other
employees.
All Are Necessary.
President Kane says that no re-
quests are made which are not deemed
absolutely necessary under the pres
ent requirements of the university, and
that any increases over appropriations
asked in the past are based upon logi-
cal deductions as to future growth,
gained from close study of the devel-
Opment of the university for the past
eight bienniums.

E. B. Cloud, one of the owners of

Last year the output was approxi-
mately 10000 cases of peas. The

account of its excellence and every
case found a ready sale. This re-

Wool can be grown in South
fAmerica, Australia and Africa for
considerable less than half what
it costs to produce it in this coun-
try. Therefore, without adequate
protection, our growers will soon be
driven out of the wool business
and if this bill should pass the
value of American sheep will shrink
it is estimated, fully s15O.00O, 1000
in less than five years.
If the house passes its bill plac-
ing the duty on fleece wool at
20 per cent this will give the
growers an actual protection of
only two or three cents per pound
against foreign competition which is
in reality no protection at all. Since
the bill assesses duty on the value
of the imported woods, it necessar-
lily follows that only the lower grade
of wool will be imported, for the
duty on them will be less than on
+he higher quality of wool. In other
words this bin encourages the i'm
portation of poor wools
Under the present schedule there
is duty of IL cents per pound on
grease wool immo~ted into the
country.
