sample" has been suggested to Rev.

Prof. Sidney L. Gulick Of the Doshisha

has felt keenly the effect Of the many
instances when such fabricated news has
threatened to disturb the relations be-

ACTION OF CHICAGO COURT
OUTLINE OF THE DECISION
Accused Parties Not Exempted From
Responsibility by Their Dis
closures to Grand Jury.

CHICAGO. March 22.-The indicted
Chicago packers today lost their night
against going to trial on tho indict
ments secured by the government sew
eral months ago. when Judge Iarpen-
ter in the United States district court
overruled their demurrer TO the
charges and held that the immunity
granted by Judge Humphrey Of the
federal circuit court I'm 1905 did not ap-
ply to the present charge. which. he
holds. were based on evidence not In
cluded in the Humphrey decision.
Goes Into Details.
Judge Carpenters decision occupied
nearly an hour in reading. and went
into the controversy relating to i'm
munity with great detail.
In brief. the packers position was that
any conspiracy that might have existed
was the plotting prior TO Judge Hum
pbrey's immunity decision. and that the
immunity from prosecution granted them
extended over all future time so long az
the acts covered by the 1906 decision re-
manned the same.
In deciding this Judge Carpenter ruled
that the immunity granted then was only
date of the indictment and could not per-
tain to any unlawful act which was per-
formed after that time. The evidence
given by the packers before the grand
jury. he said, could not relate to t.lat
which had not occurred. and hence could
have no future application.
Another Point Rejected.
AS to the contention of the defense
that the conspiracy ended with the
first plotting. heNruled that so long as
the acts complained of continued the
conspiracy remained in effect, and un
lawful acts growing out of the con-
spiracy and occurring after the in
dicted men had testified before the
grand jury were new and separate Of
lenses and subject to the operation OF
law.
In addition, the court defined the Of
lenses admitted before the grand jury
by the packers prior to their immunity
and from the criminal responsibility
for which they were freed by the
Humphrey decision as meme the less
criminal in themselves. and he said
they could be used in prosecutions
which were predicated on a continue
ton Of the offenses.

POSSIBLE IN THE FUTURE

| Robert Bacon, the American. amba ssa-

| President Taft today, and later was a
| luncheon guest at the White House. His
visit was given an additional interest at
this time owing to the fact, that there is
general belief here that negotiations
soon may be opened between, the United
| States and France looRking1 to the adop-
ton of an arbitration treaty similar to
the one that has been PROPOSED between
the United States and Great Britain.
Such a treaty would provide for the
| submission Of all matters in dispute be-
| tween the two couptsies. even including
those of national honor and territory, to
an arbitral court, and wpuld make war
practically impossible.
Favored in Great Britain.
| President Taft continues to receive re-
ports daily of the favor with which his
proposal has been received in Great Brit
ain, and is deeply gratified over the fact
The movement seems to have Struck a
popular chord in Europe. according to
the reports received at the White House.
and there is a chance that Otfer coun-
| brought into an arbitration agreement

feels that If he can negotiate one or two
treaties Of this kind they will stand as
the greatest successes Of his admins
tration.
