PACKER POOL
 COMPETITION
ATTORNEY ALLEGES THAT UNI DER COMBINE THERE WAS THE
 STRONGEST coMPEl ION.
Former Manager Says Pool Was Formed to rrevent GIutting the Market With Fresh and Per
 5hable Meats.

Chicago. Jan William D, Miles, the general manager for the Armour Packing sCompany at Kansas City from 1894 to 1902, testified today in the trial of the ten Chicago packers charged with criminal violation of the sherman law. that the old packers pools were organized to prevent the glutting of the market wllh fresh meat lnd that there always was ac- tive competition between the members in all parts of the country.
 Despite the fact that Miles had on two occasions given testimony against the packers before federal grand jur- ies, he proved an unwilling witness today aud little of value to the gay- ernment's case was gleaned from his direct examination which was not concluded when court adjourned for the day.
 The witness brought out for the first time that there was 'bIack test cost, and red test cost, used in bookkeeping of the Armour Packing Company. the. the former being used as the fiat price of the animal ana the latter included freight and 0'sAsses items of expense
 The government contends that the red test cost ttTas secretly used I by the comDinatis.a in the iixing of the prices of meat.
 Only few questions were asked of Henry Veeder on redirect examina ton before Mr Miles was called to the stand ssr Miles said he ses- cred his connection with the Armour Interests in 1903 aad gave his pres ent occupation as promoter. He told of the organization of the fresh meat combine in 1893 and said he attended it's Tuesday afternoon meetings n the Counselman hnildlng almost continuously until 1903, rep resenting the Armour Packing Com pany at the meetings.
 Mir. Miles gave a description of the business transacted at the Tues day afternoon meetings.
 ''The day before each meeting each member received Il statement show ing the number of pounds of fresh meat shipped Into the various terri tories and the average price received, together with summary of the mar gins of profits for the previous week said the witness
 He gave the allowance made for each test by product iii the cost sys tenn used Mir Miles said that un- der the combination there was active competition in nearly every section of the country between the big pack CTS.
 The principal object of the pool. he declared, was to prevent the glutting of the market with fresh meat

Washington. Ian 2@Democratic Leader Oscar w.

 MT Underwood declared he would not attend the banquet because ot his recent attack of threatened ap- pendicitis. His physician, he said, had ordered him to attend no banquets and particularly to make no speeches, nor to do anything requiring unusual exertion.

 Nevertheless the prospective ap- sence of the majority leader of the house from a national democratic af- fair at which other leaders of the party and men who are mentioned as candidates for the presidential nomina- ticn are to speak. aroused discussio. particularly in connection with the so-caled break between Bryan ana Underwood

Bryan
 The controversy between Mir. Bry- ar and Leader Underwood. which de veloped over the wooden schedule. the secret caucus a.nd other party af- fairs at the special session of congress last year. was recently renewed when Mir Bryan practically referred to MT Underwood as Wall Streets choice for the democratic presidential nomina- tion MT. Underwood never has de- nied that his political views differ much from MT Bryan's, but many oi MT. Underwood's friends recently have declared that he has no hesi tancy to express himself concern'nt MT. Brvan's position.
 Mr. Underwood had conference with Speaker Clark today but if the Jackson Day affair was discussed that fact was not announced.

] leading spirits in planning the rudi- ments of wll4t is now the Americasa modern nSlyy.
 It was Evans who took the little dispatch boat Dolphin on a cruise around the world to test the structur- al strength of this first product of the infant steel shipbuilding of the United States. He always got the best ships end the newest because his superior officers knew he could Ls trusted to handle them safely and de- velop their strong and weak points.
 A few busy years. engaged in duty on the construction board which plan ned the modern battleships and cruis- CTS, and in long cruises to try out the result of his brainwork on the high seas, brought Evans, then a commander. to the opening of the Spanish h-American war. He wanted a battleship and he got one, one of the best-the Iowa, which represented the latest product of the American ship yards.
 When Cervera's fleet made its fatal dash through the blockading ships off Santiago on July 3, 1898, Captain Ev- ans ship took a notable part in the fifty mile running fight that follow ed For his gallantry in this action, he received the thanks of congress and was promoted.
 As full fledged rear admiral. Ev- ans was called upon to take the At lantic fleet around the world. That brilliant achievement. the first world cruise of an armored fleet of that size and power. fully tested Admiral Evans ability as an organizer and a commander
 All that the public knew was that Is battleahips had made a 25,O00 mile cruise; they could not imagine wnas that meant to the directing mind of the fleet; of the many hours of anx- Iety spent in pouring over charts of harbors and reefs, of planning for sup plies of fuel and food and of keeping together in contented and happy mood the thousands of men. who made up tine crews of the warships. By the time he had reached San Francisco, the strain had become so severe that he was unable to leave his bed and 1t was necessary to relieve him from the command at that point Active duty terminated for Admir- al Evans at that place It is true ne did not go on the retired list until d few months afterward, but ncves aga'a was he called upon to direct the movements of ship or fleet. He retired 5his quaint old fashioned home in this city and surrounded by his family, spent in happiness the few remaining years of his life. His
 
 leisure gave him opportunity to exe- cute his long cherished iiea of telling some Of his wonderful experiences and these he had set out in some. books, which are to be found in the librar- ies Of every American naval vessel and wherever men like to read of gallant exploits on the sea. The fraeral will take place Friday although the exact hour is not yet set.
 It is expected that Admiral Evans will be buried in the National ceme- tery at Arlington with full naval hon- ors.

Preston, June 8.
With warm weather comes the flies
and the autos, and one is as big a
nuisance as the other. Almost any
nice day while driving along the
road one may see a knight of the
motor car sweating and swearing
as he wrestles with a refractory tire,
or the gentleman may be fiat on his
back under the car with oil and
grease dripping down his neck and
arms while he rescues a spark plug
that has been dropped in the pan un-
der the engine. A noted politician
from Honesdale who has weak eyes
was touring through Preston last
week. One tire was in poor condi-
tion and as he was down on his
knees calmly looking at a weak spot,
the weak spot gave way and the gen.
tleman from Honesdale got an eye
full of compressed air and dust. Old
Harry and the wagon is good enough
for me.
