ASK FOR RUL|NGON
CRIMINAL CLAUSE
Attorneys for Packers Want
Constitutionality Determined
Before Trial Begins.

Chicago. ILL., November l6.-Pittng
a question of fact against a question OF
law. and advocating the cause of pub
lie welfare against an allegation of
selfish, pecuniary motives, lawyers for
the Indicted Chicago packers to-day
fought the government counsel in IN
effort to obtain n final ruling on the
criminal clause OF the Sherman anti
trust act from the United States SUI
prone Court before the packers shull
go 10 trial.
The courtroom OF United States Cir
cult Court Judge e. c. kohlsa.e- was
the battle-ground for the clashL,s Sorces
Of legal wit ana experience When the
court day ended both sides claimed the
advantage. The arguments will be
resumed tomorrow morning
The question OF tact advanled by
counsel for the packers was 10 the
effect that the defendants really had
been unper restraint for one hour last
Monday, after they had been surren-
dcred by their hOndsmen, ana yoo
therefore subject to the operanon OF
the habeas corpus law
Against this lawyers for the gov
eminent DECLARED that a question of
law, the packers had no right to use
the habeas corpus writ because their
method of surrender was illegal. and
therefore, legally. they were not under
restraint.
After they had thrcshed out these
knotty points. the lawyers proceeded
to portray two widely different pur-
poses, which they said actuated the
packers in making their petition for
the writ of habeas corpus.
Levy Mayer. of counsel for the in
dictcd men. declared that the welfare
of business In all lines the country
over demanded the earliest possible
ruling from the United States Su.
preme Court upon the validity Of the
criminal clause OF the Sherman anti
trust act
Not since the free silver agitation"
said Attorney Mayer. has the business
OF the country suffered TO such de-
gree from any one thing as IL has
from the uncertainty surrounding con
struction OF tho criminal clause of the
Sherman act"
James Sheean. OF special counsel for
the government, said the purpose be-
hind the petition of the packers was
to avoid, II possible. the expenses Of
trial until the constitutionality OF the
criminal section of the Sherman act
finally had been determined.

ca BY w. 3. Dwinnel. an attorney from

tax. increasing In proportion to Tie
amount OF capital, would prevent mo

smaller concerns that would not be
hampered by the heavy tax.
The Senate committee pursued n
course OF questioning that Indicated
desire TO find out whether any OF
the men who appeared to-day favored
government control OF prices Mr.. Vim

Mr. DWinnel, who proposed the Fed

big combinations would not be able 10
v-ss this tax on to the consumer, be-
cause an increase in price would
bring into operation at once many
small concerns that would not be EN-

Origin of Firewater.

When the Hudson Bay Trading com,
pany began its trading among the In.
dians 1t was found that by selling the
Indians liquor they could more easily
be induced TO trade their peltries. The
nrst whisky or lntoxicant of inferior
quality was distilled in England and
brought to America in large barrels
out III transporting 1t overland it was
found more convenient to divide it into
small kegs, The traders soon became
aware of the fact that by diluting the
whisky with water more furs could
be obtained. This was practiced 70,
some time, but the Indians learned
that good whisky poured on a fire
would cause it to flame up. whereas
mad the whisky been diluted the fire
would be quenched. 1t was by this
simple experiment that the term "fro
water became common word amo,o
the Indians. A chief who had avnori
enced the bad effects of whisky amono
