CHICAGO PACKERS
FIGHT FOR DELAY
Attorney General Wires Ad-
vice to Prosecutor.

The indicted Chicago meat packers are
still fighting for delay. in the opinion
of the Department Of Justice. Such Is
the construction put upon the latest
move made by the packers in surrender
ing themselves into custody and apply
ing for a writ of habeaS corpus to
United States Circuit Judge c. {. Kohl
saat at Chicago Wednesday. Attorney
General wickersharn> carried on quite
correspondence by telegraph yesterday
with District Attorney Wilkerson. He
gave him certain instructions and made
suggestions Of legal points. The Attor'
ney General will not 60 to Chicago to
participate in the arguments to be heard
on Thursday by Judge Kohlsaat on the
petition for the writ Of habeas corpus.
Nor will he send any one from the De
partment Of Justice. He believes that
the United States attorney, Mr.. Wilkers
son, is competent to deal with the situ-
alton and that he can avail himself OF
the services of able counsel which are
close at hand, including Senator W. s.
Kenyon, OF Iowa, formerly assistant to
the Attorney General, who at one time
had charge Of the cases against the pack
ers and whose services will be retained
by the government In the cases.
II was evident that the Attorney Gem
eral and his legal advisers do not be-
Heve that the chicago packers are at
lacking the constitutionality Of the Sher-
man law as a criminal statute. They
evidently believe that the object OF III
ing the petition for the habeas corpus
is to bring about a stay Of proceedings
under the indictments. II Judge Kohl
saat denies the petition for the writ
OF habeas corpus the packers win proba-
bly, then appeal TO the Supreme Court
OF the United States and then apply to
one Of the Justices OF the Supreme Court
or one Of the circuit judges for. q stay
Of the criminal proceedings under the in

lay will be interposed in bringing the
criminal cases TO trial

Shop Early.

The Retail Merchants Association
has done well to start the campaign for
early Christmas shopping. 1t is to be
hoped that the dealers will have uni
versal cooperation.
The rush of holiday buying is a
trying season on shoppers, clerks, and
storekeepers Outside of the sensible
consideration of visiting the stores when
they are most completely stocked, the
chief argument for buying the gifts we'll
in advance of the holidays is of course
to reduce as much as possible the weight
of the burden upon employees of the
stores.
The merchants plea for assistance,
therefore, is humanitarian, and is one
to which the people OF Washington I'M
doubtedly will respond

Something New
PUBLIC PULSE.
An EncouraEing situntIon.

Commenting upon the "get-together'
idea among merchants, the st. Paul Dis
patch has this to say:
IF there were no other results to be
expected or realized. the exhibition of
public spirit. of zeal in behalf of the
general welfare. of the spirit of get to-
gether made by the business men of
st. Paul in the campaign for a larger
membership of the Association of Com
merce, would be worth the money, the
time, and the effort. It shows that bust
ness men of ST. Paul can do when they
try. 1t shows how strong and aggressive
is the st. Paul spirit when once it is
aroused. We have had other exhibitions
of this spirit before; we have had none
which promised more for the future
With the assurance Of a thousand sub
stantial business men banded together
for united effort, there is a sufficient
basis for predicating a stronger forward
movement in this community than has
been experienced heretofore"

South Cardinals Governor.

Gov. Blease, of South Carolina, has
aroused widespread indignation and re-
sentiment by his latest outburst. Not
only has he declared that lynching is
justifable, but he has publicly ex.
pressed his regret that he was not one
of the mob who lynched colored man
at Honea Path in his State. In addition,
he asserts that he will pardon any man
convicted by a jury of participating in
mob action.
II seems almost impossible that a
governor of State who is supposed to
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1911-11-16

possess judicial temperament and who
is sworn to uphold the laws, should
thus openly oountenance and approve
lawlessness and violence. No wonder
that he is characterized as man with
the air of a braggart and the actions
of clown. Other criticisms of his
utterances are even more intense.
There is movement in South Caro-
lima to impeach him. 1t ought to be
successful. No State can afford to allow
itself to be disgraced by an executive
who advocates the lawless taking of life

Justice in the Beattie Case

The curtain has fallen on the bleak
tragedy of the Beattie case and only the
epilogue remains to be played In a
few days the soul of Henry Clay Beat
tie will pass into whatever sphere is re-
served for it beyond this life. Gov.
Mann's absolute refusal to commute the
sentence or even grant stay of execu-
ton removes the last hope of the
broken-hearted father that his boy
might be spared the bitter death of a
criminal.
If absolute proof were needed to con-
vince the public of young Beattie's guilt,
the statement of Gov. Mann-known
throughout Virginia as the kindest of
men-furnishes it, For the first time
since he came into office the governor
has refused to allow the date of execu-
ton to be changed Sympathizing, as
he does, with the father, Gov. Mann
nevertheless refuses to allow himself
the right of interference with the pun
ishment of a young man. who, as he
says, SIS guilty of a wiIlful, deliberate,
and cruel murder"
Nor did the confession of perjury
made by Paul Beattie enter into the
governors final consideration of the
case. Thus a sensational, eleventh-hour
attempt to avert the result of the trial
has also failed.
The drama is ended, saving only that
portion which must come IN accordance
with law. Justice is to be done. -

Less Attractive to Bankers.

Secretary MacVeagh's Endorsement of
the Aldrich banking plan, argues the New
York World, has one important qualifi-
cation. 1t should not, he says, permit a
bank in the Central Reserve Association
to hold stock in any other bank. His
Belief is that American conditions are
opposed permanently to any semblance
of branch banking. The. World adds:
This might serve to make the plan
more attractive to Congress. but its pOpu-
larity among bankers would not be in
creased. II they could not more than at
present put the small institutions into
the control of the large, subordinate
country credit to that of two' or three big
cities, and forge chains of banks for
speculative purposes, then must the mag
nifcent worth of the Aldrich plan begin
to diminish in their eyes. This fair and
unworked garden of combination which
they. have tried vainly to break into
through the plan devised by the National
City Bank would be closed to them
tighter than ever. Still, there will be left
for consolation the elaborate machinery
provided for a centralized control OF
American banking credit. The ambition
of a few great bankers to own every
thing in the business might find a rea-
sonable degree OF satisfaction in this
possibility of controlling everything with
out ownership"
