Coup to Take
 Outlaw Band
VIRGINIA AUTHORITIES RETi-
 CENT ABOUT PLANS.
POSSES IN MOUNTAINS
Camping on Trail of Desperadoss- Moving Picture Actors Re-Onact the
 Tragedy at the HiIIsville Courthouse

HillsviiIe, Va, March 2l-The chase of the Allen band of outlaws, for all that most folks here know, has not progressed but Governor Mann and the authorities are planning a coup. 4 plan ig afoot which is expected to ma terialize the last of this week or the first of next The governor admitted this today and declined to discuss ais plang.
 q don't think it proper to say what these steps are" he said, "but they are vigorous, and think, in the right di- rection."
 Small Posses Used AS Blinds.
 The posse which left here so hurried ly on Tuesday night, has not been seen or heard from since. It is now known that the hunters will not quar- ter in Hillsville, but will stay out in the mountains and camp on the trail of the outlaws. This latest action sup ports the theory that the two small posses which have been operating in and out of town were merely blinds to conceal the movements of a larger posse which has been secretly brought over into the mountains.
 Authorities Expecting Something to
 Happen.
 Whatever the plans are really, there ig an air of suppressed excitement and anticipation among the authoritie which seems to indicate that they are waiting for news.
 Andrew P. Hewlett, who was shot in the back during the affray at the court house, Is still very low and no hope of his recovery is entertained. Tragedy Repeated For Moving Pictures
 Another tragedy was enacted in the court house today. Another troop of mountain outlaws rode in, shot the judge down and duplicated the grue- some assassinationS of a week ago but this time it Eas only for moving pictures. The actors did more firing and made more racket than the real outlaws did and HiI1sville almost had as much excitement.

PACKERS CASE MAY
 REACH JURY TODAY
Defense Finishes Argument and Judee's Charge Is to Be Made.

Chicago, March 21.-The case of the ten Chicago meat packers who have heen on trial since December 6 before United States District Jrdge George 4. Carpenter, charged with criminal violation of the Sherman law, is scheduled to. go to the jury tomorrow afternoon.
 The defense closed it's case today with final arguments to the jury by Attorney NJ. w. Borders and Attorney John Barton Payne. Tomorrow spe- cial counsel Pierce Butler will close the case for the government. Judge Carpenter is then to instruct the jury regarding the law in the case and the jurors will retire to consider yer eict.
 In closing the defendants case At tOrney John Barton Payne said:
 Cabinets in Europe await your yer dict to decide whether fresh meat from the United States shall in the future be excluded from certain for eign countries: Do not send out word to the world that there is dishon- ored cattle market In Chicago. The government is asking g prison term for these defendants If a verdict of guilty is returned. If men are to be deprived of their liberty on such evil dence as this, then indeed are our in solutions on trial.
 The defendants business is on trial in this case. No harm can be accomplished by a verdict of not guilty. Nobody claims anybody has been injurel by these defendants A verdict of guilty would characteri8e ihese men as criminals, brand their business as fraud and do great harm to this country and it's people. Not a witness has testified that the price of fresh meat has been raised or the rrice of cattle low srett,"

Stet- son called attention to the fact that both he and Segal were members of the same club and said he would go slow and get the information correct. Stetson Sends Information.
 In the next letter from Stetson to Dear Wash" the former gave 8 resume Of Segal's financial affairs as far as he had learned and said he was getting next" to some very valuable information.
 The next letter from statson gave figures concerning the Pennsylvania Refining company, setting forth how much it was capitalized at, the value of the plant, and information concern . ing Segal.

 q represent one private citizen" was the reply, something new at these hearings, but which I hope will be more frequent in the future.
 Small Doses Foster Drug Habit. AS to the drug manufacturers ar gument that small quantities of opium, morphine and cocaine are not harm ful, it would take a million Hague opium conferences to convince me that the smsl. amounts should be allowed.
