ed packers on the charge that they
violated the criminal section of the
Sherman antitrust law is fixing the
price of fresh meats is probable Mon
day, attaches of Judge George A. Car
penter's court declared today. This
opinion was based upon the rapidity
with which counsel for the packers
put questions to the jury candidates
preferred by District Atty J. II. Will
kerson.
Attorney John Barton Payne, who
worked with Attorney John S. Miller
in examining the talesmen, said just
before the opening of court toda y
that with the possible exception of two
men among the twelve in the box he
VISA satisfied with the jury.
The packers counsel insisted that
every juryman should prove his abili-
ty to think fast and to follow the MAJ
es of any sort of legal argument which
might arise. This also suited the prose-
cutiOn.
Only one of the jurors substituted
by the packers appeared likely to
prove Objectionable to the government.
He was John Somarandyk, a former
drygoods merchant of Aurora, and for
the last ten years manager of big es-
tate. He was to be questioned about
big Business"
The six jurors picked by the gov
eminent and tentatively accepted by
the packers were:
Albert N. Smith, merchant. Chicago.
H. l. Bucklin, farmer, Dundee.
George w. Dodge, Mems furnishings,
Chicago.
Ralph Chittenden, farmer, Glancos.
J. H. Howard, telephone inspector,
Streator
Asa Bunnister, farmer, Maperville.
The government men to be cross-ex-
amined today were:
John D. Broun, contractor, Chicago.
Alphonse Kelly, farmer. Wilmington.
Four new Jurors picked by the de-
Tense were:
Edward Beren, dairyman, North
Crystal Lake.
John Somarindyk, manager estate,

tendent, Chicago.

new REM0NSTRANCE
CAMPAIGN PLANNED
Jackson Township "Drys''
May Attempt to Make a
Coup in Contest.

TO offset any possibility that the
blanket remembrance will be declar-
ed illegal, the Jackson township
"drys" have under consideration an
attempt to secure another remon-
STRANGE.
The present remonstrance, opera
tive until Juhe 3, 1912, ID alleged to
be Illegal by the vets" who are
supporting Roy II. Fraunberg. a
Cambridge City hotel proprietor, who
Is asking the county commissioners
for a retail liquor license.
The former passivity OF the tenn
perance forces Is now In contrast
with their activity. They are pre-
pared TO wage battle just as earnest
ly as the other faction is, Judging
from the statements OF the "dry'
leaders. The "drys' have counseled
frequently with their attorneys In
the past week, though so far as
known no concentrated action has
been agreed upon.
In event the "drys" decide on
another remonstrance campaign. 1t
will not mean that they fear defeat
in the present contest, leaders Of
the dry" faction say. They say
that they only want to be prepared
in case of an emergency.
The "drys" say they could slip in
the new remembrance and then de-
fault in the contest on the legality
Of tho present remembrance.
The value Of another remonstrance
a. figured by the temperance forces
r. at least two-fold. In the first
place II the VETS should win their
contention. Fraunberg could get a
license and no matter when the
township was demonstrated dry"
after this license had been granted.
could he be forced by a remonstrance
to discontinue the sale OF intoxi-
cants, until his license term had ex-
pired. In the second place it would
cut down the expenses of the contest
and abruptly end 1t.
The "wets' are expecting such a
move and OF course will oppose it
strenuously.
Plans Of both factions will begin
to take more definite shape next
Monday when the issues in the exist
ing fight will be made up In the
commissioners court. The "drys,'
unless they have planned surprises.
will answer the several paragraphs
Of Traunberg's complaint against
the remonstrance in general denial
to the allegations which he set forth.
The general denial may be very brief
or it may be explicit. either method
will serve to join the issues In an
ticipation Of the trial. The trial
date likely will be agreed upon by
the attorneys for both parties and
the board Monday.
II the present Indications point
true, the attorneys believe the trial
In the commissioners court will
take three and possibly four weeks.
Over six hundred witnesses will be
examined. The expense which will
be heaped up as a result of the trial
will be enormous and therefore each
side will move with extreme caution.
It 10 practically assured, that, unless
the "drys' are able to get another re-
monstrance through, the defeated
faction will appeal to the circuit
court.
