On the other hand. IL seems certain
that karlin Il Towne. lawyers for the

that Mrs. Scheib had weak lungs and
suffered from frequent h~emorrhascs.
The two lawyers succeeded to-day In

contention that Mrs. Scheib went away
OF her own accord on Feb. z and that
Sebeib did not thereafter occupy the
room. They also hold that their "
entry by way OF the window served to
emphasize the suggestion advanced by
the defense that Mrs. Scheib. returning
home and finding the door locked. might
have broken IN from the back and then
while taking a bath succumbed to i'll
ness.
Unless some really important evil

ant District Attorney Rubin has little
hope OF inducing Magistrate Corrigan
to hold Scheib. when the preliminary
hearing Is continued on Friday at the
Criminal Courts Building.
MIR. Rubin admitted to-day that so
Tar the police had been able to find
little proof that would serve to actually
connect Schelo with the supposed muir

contradictory statements. this often re-
peated fictions regarding the missing

prior to the finding Of the body In the

nothing upon which to base u formal

sure that a crime was committed.
POLICE PROMISE TO MAKE soMe

The police are promising tina the,
wiz have charges sufficient Il
hold SchsIb for possibly severa
months while the Detective Bureau
seeks evidence. II Is not believed tn,
Grand Jury will take up the ALLEGED
murder case unless stronger evidenc,
develops. Magistrate corrigan, who Il
in charge Of the preliminary hearing
has expressed the hope that the GRAM
Jury will take the case OF his hands.
They say the police have proven Meth
er q motive nor a murder. The pre-
liminary report OF Prof. Larkin Of hi
chemical analysis was "A DISAPPOINTMENT
to the police. He found no poison 4
the organs. but has not completed hi
examination Of the fluid found In tn
bathtub. Coroner's Physician Lehan
has testified that death by poison wa
the only kind of murder that could b
proven. owing TO the condition Of ia

The pivotal point In the case is no,
that OF the time OF death. Schelb say
he lived In the fiat until tho latter par
OF March, and that there was no bod

immunity DENIED
| TO BEEF PACKERS
Judge Decides to Admit Evidence
on Any Act Alleged.
SECRET CLUB" IS REVEALED
Organizer of Swift Packing Company
Tells Of NameIess Association
is Attended by Meat Men
Every Week.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Judge Carpenter
denied the ten Chicago packers, on
trial In the federal court for conspir-
acy in restraint of trade, the benefit
of the immunity baths they received
in 1905.
The court ruled that the govern
ment may submit evidence regarding
all acts alleged to have been commit
ted by the defendants at any time
prior to the bringing Of the indict-
ments. Attorneys for the defense
had objected to the introduction OF
any evidence regarding acts prior to
1905 because Of the ruling OF the
federal courts In the previous cases
against the packers.
1t was argued by John s. Miller of
packers counsel that Francis A. Fow'
Ter, Edward Tilden and l.. H. Hey
man, who were not indicted in 1905,
furnished information to James r.
Garfield, the governments investiga-
tor, and that they were entitled to
the same immunity from prosecution
for acts prior to that time as the
seven other indicted packers.
Tell Of "Phantom Club"
The existence of a phantom "asso-
citation" which never had name,
whose purpose was known only to
those who attended, and which met
every Tuesday afternoon on the sixth
floor of the Counselman building, with
all the big six" in the packing indus
try represented by leading officers,
was revealed in the cross-examination
of Albert H. Veeder.
Mr.. Veeder has been the legal rep
resentatiye of the Swift interests for
more than a quarter Of century, and
was the organizer of the Swift Pack
ing company when 1t was formed into
a corporation. When the nameless
association was formed his son was
made secretary and he himself moved
his offices to a room adjoining the
weekly meeting place Of the associa-
ton.
5 Much Information Brought Out.
Pierce Butler, special counsel for
the government, examined the witness
and brought out large amount OF
general information concerning the
organization and methods Of the pack
ing industry in America. 1t was
while the government attorney was
asking concerning the activities Of
Henry Veeder, the witness son who
was associated with him in the prac-
tice of law, that the existence of the
association was brought out.
Mr.. Veeder said the meetings were
held in a large rear room on the out
er door Of which there was no name
and that 1t was furnished with a
table, several desks and chairs. He
said that the men who attended the
meetings Of the association repre-
scented Swift & Co., Morris g. Co,
Armour G Co., Cudahy & Co,
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, G. H.
Hammond & Co., and the Hammond
Packing company.

Fireworks in Corn.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-December corn
is congested, and is expected to be
more so in the next three days. There
is the best of information that there
is shortage of over 100000 Blu. and
concentrated holding of nearly that
large, while the contract stocks are
only $4,000 bu., with no contract
coming in the daily receipts, and only
two more days after today for the
elevators to make it. 1t is figured
that not over 100000 blu. of contract
corn can be made each day, so that
the shorts appear to be in bad, as
not over 100000 bu. can be delivered
on top of that already held by the
bulls. 1t is expected that there will
be fireworks in the pit before Satur-
day night.
