SCHIFF ALARMED PACKERS.
Prevented Merger in
1902. Veeder Saws,

CHICAGO. December 29.-When the
trial of the meat packers on charges of
violating the antitrust law was resumed
today Attorneys John Barton Payne and
John S. Miller, representing the defend
ants. argued that the evidence of the
operations Of the subsidiary companies
used to market certain by-products should
be excluded for the reason that it tended
to prove crime not charged in the in
dictment. Judge Carpenter reserved his
decision until the testimony complained
of is brought up again in the trial.
The jury returned to the courtroom
and Albert II. Veeder again took the wit
ness stand. He admitted that the Swift
Wool Company succeeded the Kenwood
Company in 1865 for the sale of the oieo
oil products of the combination. This
closed the direct examination of Mr..
Veeder.
The witness. who was cross-eXamined
by Attorney George T. Buckingham, told
of attending a meeting Of packers i'm De-
cember, 1902. at the office of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. in New York. at which plans foa.
financing the big merger were discussed
with Jacob II. Schiff.
I'VE spoke of the money needed for
the proposition and Mr.. Schiff said condi-
tons in the money market were not pro-
pitious, said Mr.. Veeder. He did not
use the word panic, but when he got
through he made me feel like going out
in the street and selling everything L had
His talk so depressed the packers that
the idea of the big merger was dropped
In few months the fears of Mr.. Schiff
were realized. and We had panic

FIGHT FOR LOWER RATES
WON BY LEMON GROWERS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Reafirms Its
Order.

American lemon growers today won a
signal victory over foreign competitors
and the tranScontinental railroads when
the interstate commerce commission re-
affirmed its previous order, upset by the
new Commerce Court, reducing freight
rates on lemons from California to all
other points in the United States from
$1.1J per loo pounds to ST..
( The fight over lemon rates has been in
progress since 1892 and originally In
volved the question of competition with
Sicily. 1t has been bitterly fought and
became one of the first causes of con
flict between the Interstate commerce
commission and the new Commerce Court.
When the commission originally ordered
the reduction its order was Stopped by the
Commerce Court. which held the commits
sion had no right to take into considera-
ton the question of foreign competition
and remanded the case for re-hearing.
The decision given today holds the rate
of 81. II unrea sonable and unjust irreSpec-
tive of the question of competition, and
orders the carriers to make effective the
lower rate on February II.
The case was brought in the name of
the Arlington Heights Fruit Exchange
against practically all the transconti-
mental lines.

BODIES FROM THE MAINE
WILL REST WARRINGTON
Planned to Pay Tribute in
Their Honor at the Time
of tnterment.

y Fifty-one bodies of sailors, recovered
from the wreck of the Maine in Havana
harbor, are soon to be brought to Wash
ington for interment in Arlington GENE
terry. There are probably other bodies in
covered. and later given burial in the ma
tional cemetery.
This information is brought to Wash
ington by o. B. Jenkins, who has just
returned from Havana. Mr.. Jenkins has
had part in preparing the remains Of the
Maine victims for transportation to the
United States. The bodies, wherever
possible. have been embalmed and a
Theoretically sealed casket has been pro-
vided for each one.
The Utah and rf,e Florida, the two big
gest battleships of the navy, now at
Galveston preparing to leave for Cuba.
will probably bring back the Maine dead.
Congress is expected to acquiesce in the
request of the President that warships
be provided to carry the dead from the
place where the bodies were recovered
from common grave in the waters of an
alien nation to resting places in their
native soil.
There will undoubtedly be paid great
tribute of honor to the dead at the OBJ
sequies In Washington. The army and
navy, it is assumed, will present as large
a display of numbers in the funeral
escort as circumstances Will permit.
At Arlington the mast of the Maine, is
to be erected as memorial to the vic
Tins of the catastrophe at the time they
are Inferred The ceremony will be part
of the funeral program. The President
Of the United States. the cabinet, prom
inent army and naval officers ana men
known In public life will take part in the
speechmaking.

BARS SALVATION ARMY.
Formal Action Prohibiting Its Gen.
eral Work in Russia.

NEW YORK, December 29.-Comment-
ing on dispatches from ST. Petersburg to
the effect that the council of ministers
there has prohibited the Salvation Army
from carrying on work in Russia, it was
said at the army headquarters here today
that this opposition was nothing new nor
was it unexpected. The Russian govern
ment has always been antagonistic to the
work, it was explained, and the action of
the council is merely formal record Of
this attitude.
Notwithstanding this, the army has
carried. on work in St. Petersburg for
several years by means of parlor meet
ings in the homes of sympathizers For
time it was necessary to hold such
gatherings behind closed doors, but of
late there has been more freedom. While
these meetings have not been prohibited,
official sanction for general work has
been deaied.
