BALFOUR QUITS AS LEADER
Dissension in Own Ranks Causes
British Statesman to Retire
From His Post.

London.-A. J. Balfour, for many
years leader of the British Conserva-
tive party, both in office and in oppo-
sition, resigned his leadership In the
house. His action caused a sensa-
ton.
The Unionists do not attempt to
conceal the seriousness felt over the
loss of Mr.. Balfour, who is recog-
nized as the greatest asset OF the
party.
Mr.. Balfour gives as a reason for
his action the state of his health, but
there seems little doubt that the bick-
erings and petty differences in the
party of late, which have annoyed
him very much, caused his resigna-
ton. 1t is understood that his deci-
sion is unalterable. Mr.. Balfour will
remain in parliament. representing
the city Of London.

Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
He expressed the confident belief
that a financial law will be enacted,

regular or the insurgent Republicans
or the Democrats"
Mr.. MacVeagh Endorsed the revised

urgent needs OF the situation. He be-
Iieved sentiment in favor Of the Ma

Mr.. MacVeagh declared he did not
approve of national banks, through

New York to the National City COM

and trust companies in about 300 cases
throughout the country.
While. he said, he could not a the

unwise, because 1t was fraught with
the danger Of a concentration Of the
banking power Of the country, which
would surely arouse the suspicious OF
congress and the public.

MEAT MEN.
GROUP INDICTED LAST WEEK
Penalty in Case of Guilt Is a Fine OF
5000 or a Sentence of One Year In
the County Jail, or B~oth-Senator
Kenyon, Of Iowa, Leading Prosecutor.

Chicago.-After more than nine
years of investigation by the govern
ment the first criminal prosecution Of
individual meat packers under the
Sherman antitrust act was commenced
here Monday before Judge George A
Carpenter in the United States dis
trict court.
Ten Chicago packers, heads of the
packing industry, were placed on trial
charged with monopolizing and re,
straining interstate trade in fresh
meats. The penalty which may be in.
ficted if they be found guilty is a fine
Of $4,000 or a sentence of one year in
the county jail, or both.
The defendants are: Louis F. Swift,
president of Swift & Co. and director
Of the National Packing company; Ed
ward f. Swift, vice president of Swift
& Co. and director of the National
Packing company; Charles H. Swift,
director of Swift & Co; Edward Til
den, president of the National Packing
company; j. Ogden Armour, president
of Armour & Co; Arthur Meeker, gen.
sral manager for Armour & Co.; Ed
word Morris, president of Morris &
Co.; Francis A. Fowler, director of
Swift & Co.; Thomas J.. Connors, SUI
perintendent Of Armour & Co. and
Louis H. Heyman, manager for Morris
4 Co.
A special panel Of $50 men have
been summoned from which to select
the jury. Hundreds of witnesses have
been called by both sides. 1t is ex-
pected the trial will last for several
months.
The first action against the packers
came in 1903, when Judge Peter s..
Grosscup enjoined them from violat-
ing the Sherman act. Investigation
of charges against the packers fol-
lowed, and July l, 1905, sixteen pack.
ers and four companies we're indicted.
Judge humphrey granted the defend
ants immunity in 1906.
A new Investigation resulted in
March 1910, in indictments against the
National Packing company and its
subsidiary concerns, and a bill was
filed asking disintergration Of the Ma
tionaI Packing company. The indict-
ments were quashed by Judge Lands.
