LIVES WITH LEGS CUT OFF
Surgeons Do Not Expect Subway
Victim to Survive, However.

David Drummond a stocky, muscular
man, of No 12S Varick street, surprised
the surgeons at the Hudson Street Hos
pital last night by his wonderful exhibi-
tiOn of stamina. Drummond, who Is a
baker, had been run over by a subway
train at the Canal street station a few
minutes before. and both his legs had
been cut off. Despite the great shock TO
his system, he never lost consciousness,
but directed the surgeons in their work.
They do not expect him to live more
than twenty-four hours.
Drummond was walking near the edge
Of the southbound platform when he tot
tered and fell headlong 70 the tracks
At the same time a local train was
drawing into the station. and though
Oliver Osborne, the motorman, applied
the brakes instantly, the distance was
too short, and the right forward wheels
of the first car crushed Drummond's s
legs.
The local and express tracks Of the
southbound trains were blocked for
about fifteen minutes. the power having
been shut off before Drummond was
taken from beneath the wheels.

"GET RESULTS"-PACKERS
kilograms in Code Show Prices
Were Fixed in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb 9-Fifty kilograms sent by
Swift Co. to their representatives In
Eastern cities giving instructions in regard
to shipments and margins. and which the
government declares tend to show that
prices were fixed at the Chicago Offices
were read to the jury In the packers trial
to-day.
Many Of the messages. although sent
over the companys private wires. were in
code and had to be deciphered by Lee NJ.
Lester, assistant manager Of the beef de-
partment, who was on the stand all day
Counsel for the defendants objected a.
the introduction Of the kilograms. but JuGse
Carpenter allowed the government to put
all Of them in evidence.
One Of the kilograms bore the typewrit-
ten signature of Charles II. Swift. vice
president Of Swift & Co. and one of the
defendants 1t read as follows:
Chicago, 7-22-lO. No. 1 Boston. For your
information expect show about plus 20 beef

York and prospects improved beef business
and results next week. Very much disap-
pointed Indications Boston minus 30 10 20

Another telegram sent to New York and
Philadelphia representatives Of the COM
pany in july, 1910, read:
Any house in your Jurisdiction not get
ting cost for beef get after them. Get re-
suits asked. No. !.
The defence succeeded in having the
name of Charles II. Swift stricken from
the telegram, after It had been introduced.
because there was no evidence that the
typewriter signature was authorized.
Many of the messages were approved or
signed by Francis A. Fowler. head OF the
beef department of Swift & Co. and de-
fendant in the case.
Judge Carpenter reserved his ruling on
motion made by the defence to have his
name kept out of the record.
Another telegram in reduced was sd'
dressed 10 the company representative at

DENY BATHTUB CONSPIRACY
Acts Before Final Agreement
Not Criminal, Say Defendants.

Detroit. Feb. 9.--The questions OF jurts-
diction and what acts constitute a conspir-
acy We're the features OF to-day's session
Of the trial of the governments criminal
sut against the so-cslled Bathtub Trust
The case was adjourned tonight until
Tuesday morning. when IL Ia expected that
Judge Angel will give a definite ruling on
the matter.
The government argues that although this
final agreement, which II charges was
conspiracy in restraint OF trade, was not
signed by all the defendants until May y,
1910, in New York. the conspiracy was m
process Of formation for several months.
when meetings of several Of tho defend
ants were held In Mount Clemens. Mich:
Chicago. and other cities. The government
has offered as evidence alleged agreements
drawn up at these meetings and signs1
by different members Of the defence.
The defendants maintain that prior 60 ths
meeting of May none OF the so-called
agreements was agreed upon by all ths
manufacturers, and was never effective.
hence no alleged conspiracy had taken
place unless 1t did occur. as charged by
the prosecution, at the meeting OF May 9
in New York. Therefore. it argues. the
case is not in the jurisdiction of the court.
