how, as great man and a progress

DECISION IN BEEF
CASE is FAR-REACHING

CHICAGO, Feb. S.--Judge Carpen-
ter today decided that witnesses in
the trial OF the packers may be ex-
amined as to statements made by
them under oaths before the grand
jury or in the hearings conducted by
the United States district attorney
prior to the bringing Of the indict-
ments.
The decision. according to the gov
eminent attorneys, will have far
reaching effect on the case, as II had
been charged that many witnesses
were changing their testimony for the
purpose of protecting individual
heads of the packing concerns. This
charge was reiterated during the trial
by District Attorney Wilkerson and
was brought 70 a climax when John
NJ. Chaplin. an accountant for Swift 4
Co. swore that he fixed the test
costs" of that concern without assist
ance from others. The government
counsel In an argument to the court
declared that before the grand jury,
Chaplin had sworn that Charles II.
Swift, one OF the defendants, passed
upon his figures and frequently d.
rected changes in the results. Chap
lin later admitted that Swift reviewed
his work.
Attorney NJ. w. Borders, in object
ing TO the demands of the govern
ment, declared that the court might
as we'll order the grand jury records
to be read as part OF the evidence.
Attorney Wilkerson then put long
series of questions TO the witness,
asking if he did not make certain
statements before the grand jury.
During this examination Chaplin adj
mtted that Charles n. Swift often
said while loking over his figures:
These costs are too high" or
ithcse costs are too Tow. The wit
ness said the figures would then be
changed to conform with Swift's
Views

ADOPTING THE DECLARATION.
How the Immortal Document Was Put
Through Continental Congress.

4 LTHOUGH the Fourth Is the day
"a that Is celebrated by many as
that on which the immortal
Declaration of Independence was sign
ed, sealed and promulgated. as a mat.
| ter Of fact such Is not true. The
great document was read to the people
on the Fourth after having been ap-
proved by congress, but 1t was not
signed on that day.
On July 2 jefferson presented for
adoption the immortal Declaration aft
er congress had adopted a resolution
presented by Richard Henry Lee Of
Virginia. which had been placed before
the body on June Z. 1776:
Resolved. That these united colonies are
and Of right ought to be free and inde-
pendent states that they are absolved
| from all allegiance TO the British crown
and that all political connection between
them and the state OF Great Britain is and
ought to be totally dissolved.
This resolution was debated for near
~ month. and. owing to the absence
| of Lee, who had been called home. the
defense of it fell on his colleague. JEFF
ferson. 1t needed defense. for In that
congress were able men who opposed
its passage and revolution Great
therefore. is Americas debt to Jeffer-
son and Lee. On July Lees resolu.
ton was adopted. and Jefferson's draft
Of the Declaration was adopted on
July 4. 1916.
John Hancock. president Of congress.
and Charles Thompson. its secretary.
immediately signed the document and
became thus the first official traitors
from an English point Of view. 1t was
made public to the citizens by John
Nixon. who read it to the citizens of
Philadelphia In Independence square
On July Is 1t was ordered to be en-
crossed. and on this being done the sign
ers appended their names on Aug Q.
Meanwhile there had been some
changes in the personnel of congress
John Dickinson. Edward Biddle. Thorn
as Willing and Charles Humphreys of
Pennsylvania fought the Declaration.
and the commonwealth sent BENJAMIN
Franklin. Robert Morris. George Ross
and James Wilson to congress In their
places to sign the great paper.
