tne stand the defense made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to have excluded from
he governments case all transactions
prior to 1905 on the ground that the
immunity plea which freed the packers
when they were indicted seven years
ago should apply to that period.
Veeder, at the beginning of his dt,
rect examination, admitted that the
packers had some sort Of organization
which met every Tuesday afternoon in

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Details of the
plan for Q $500, ,000, 900 merger of the
Armour. Swift and Morris interests in
1902 by which the government con-
tends 1t was sought to control the
meat industry of the country were re.
vesled in the trial of the ten Chicago
packers before United States District
Ju6ge George A. Carpenter.
The original agreement was produc.
cd in court by Albert H. Veeder. at
torney for Swift & Co., who was
called by the government as its first
witness.
Attorney Veeder testified that the
plans for the merger were abandoned
and that in March, 1903, the National
Packing company was organized to
operate certain Independent packing
companies purchased with a view OF
Including them in the big company.
Bonds In Payment.
Armour, Swift and Morris were to
receive bonds and preferred stock Of
the new company in payment for the
value Of their tangible property. In
addition to this. the promoters were
to receive $25.OOO,OO0 worth of the
new company's stock for intangible
property, and . large block of com.
mon stock for their good will, this
amount to be fixed by the earnings Of
the different plants during the first
year of the new merger.
The promoters planned to borrow
s90,000,000 to finance the giant corpo.
ration. The appraised valuation Of
Armour, Swift, Morris and their sub.
sidiary companies was given at $780,.
100000. Each of the three promoters
deposited $l,OO0,OO0 with Chicago
bank as an evidence of good faith, but
they were compelled to drop the plan
because of the failure of certain New
York capitalists to furnish the funds
needed.

pope Pins Plans to Appoint Enough
New Foreign Cardinals to Per-
petuate His Policies In
His Successor.

Rome. Dec. 27-Pope Plus has de
1 cided to hold another consistory in
the spring, according to semi-official
announcement at the Vatican. Sever
q new cardinals will be created and it
appears certain that the control of the
sacred college will be taken away
from the Italians.
The announcement caused great sur.
prise in clerical circles. 1t vas be-
/ lieved Pope Plus created so many
cardinals at the recent consistory be-
cause he believed it was his last
The decision of the pontiff indicates
that he has decided to add enough pro-
gressive prelates to the sacred college
to insure successor to the throne of
Rome who will carry out the policies
he has indorsed.
It 10 believed that four cardinals
will be created, three of whom will be
foreigners. Monsignor Bello, patriarch
Of Lisbon, whom Portugal has decided
to prosecute on charge Of conspiring
against the state, is believed to have
been the cardinal named secretly at
last Gonsistory. II conditions in Por-
tugal are improved, public announce
ment Of his elevation to the sacred
college will be made at the consistory
In the spring.
Archbishop Won Wettering of Ut
recht, Holland. where the church has
made remarkable strides in the last
few years, is almost sure to be given
the red hat. Father Ehrle, pontifical
librarian, is also likely to be chosen.
His elevation, would fill out the quota
Of the cardinals to which Germany is
entitled. Another Austrian bishop is
also being considered.
Should any of the Italians be elevat.
ed. it is believed the honor would fall
upon Monsinger Giustini, secretary of
the congregation of the sacraments, or
Archbishop Della Chiesa Of Bologna,
the chief supporter of Cardinal Ram
polla in his candidacy for the papacy.

the fact that even if only one more

RAINFALL l8l INCHES IN GRAND FORKS
SINCE TUESDAY MORNING. IS GENERAL

Mott, Fullerton and Dickinson indi-
cate the fall or more or less moisture.
The rain on the slope has not been
as heavy as in other regions.
River Fails to Rise.
One of the most significant facts
connected With the present unusual
fall Of rain IS the c0Nu1rf0n IN which
the Red River of the North has re-
mained--it being almost stationary.
Usually heavy rain of this nature at
this period of the year would result
in sharp rise, the reports of the past
years on file at the university indicat-
ing that fact. This season, however,
the soil seemingly acts like a sponge
absorbing every bit of moisture that
has fallen. Only in very low spots
does the rain remain on the ground,
sinking, for the most part, directly in
TO the soil.
Wheat Seeding Nearly Done.
Wheat seeding throughout the
northern part of the state has almost
been completed. Only very small
portion of it remains to be done. Con-
siderable barley and oats have already
been sown in some sections.
The present rain will result in keep
ing tho farmers off the field several
DAYS at least even with bright warm
weather following the present cold
spell.
Forecast is for Frost.
The weather forecast provides for
fair weather Friday with the posi-
bility of frost tonight. With present
cloudy conditions prevailing, the dan
ger of frost does not appear para
mount, although continuation OF the
present atmospheric conditions may
bring about free2eup to some slight
degree.
Rainfall Above Normal.
At the present time the rainfall for
the season is above the normal. Com
parison of the record of May l lndl-
Gated the fact that the rainfall at that
period was higher than usual at that
period. while the heavy rains OF the
last three days will necessary result
in that lead being maintained.
