ROOSEVELT A CANDIDATE.

The formal entrance of former
President Roosevelt as a candi-
date for the Republican nomina-
ton will prove no surprise. Mr..
Roosevelt has sought to keep him
self before the public ever since
he retired from the presidency,
and he is one Of the most sue
cessful press agents to be found
anywhere. His bear hunts, his
trip to Africa, his connection with
the Outlook, his alliance with the
progressive element of his party,
have only been a part of a scheme
to advertise himself for the NOM
nation in 1912, and the next few
months will determineWith what
success his efforts will be crown
ed. AS a catcher of the public
eye and the public ear, he has
been without an equal, and he
will play the game high and fast
until the convention names the
candidate. If he wins, the Dem
ocrats will have a fight on their
hands to beat him; if he loses,
he will become the Sage of Oys-
ter Bay again and leave Mr..
Taft to sink or swim, as the case
may be,

ration of the Treaty.
st. Petersburg.-The erection Of a
tariff wall between Russia and the
United States, at the expiration
of the Russo-American commerce
and navigation treaty of 1882 is the
object of a bill introduced in the duma
by ex-President Guchkoff and 113
other signers representing the Octo-
brist and National parties. These par,
test constitute the majority in the
duma
The bill proposes to raise existing
Russian duties by leo per cent. and to
impose duty of 100 per cent on arti-
cles admitted free under the present
Russian tariff
Besides these impositions the bill
proposes to levy double the gross
weight tax established by the law of
June 81, 1901, on merchandise arriv-
ing by sea and to levy a double ton
mage tax Should the present Amer
lean tonnage tax be raised to the dis
favor of Russian vessels, the Russian
tonnage tax will be correspondingly in

PACKERS BEATEN
IN PLEA TO QuAsH
Judge Carpenter Denies Motions
Trial Proceeds.
COUNSEL OUTLINES DEFENSE
George T. Buckingham Makes First
Argument on Behalf of Beef
Men-Makes General De-
NAL of Charges.

Chicago Overruled by Judge
Carpenter on every objection
they had raised, counsel tor the pack
ers in the governments prosecution
were forced to proceed with their de-
tense without further delay. Replying
to the governments arraignment,
George T. Buckingham, in an address
to the jury, disclosed, for the first
time, the full outline of the defense.
Specific denial OF every material al
legation of the government, together
with promise that most of the state
ments OF fact in the packers lndict-
ments will be disproved, were made
by Mr. Buckingham. He indicated
that the statute of limitations would
be invoked to counterfeit much OF the
governments direct evidence. de eX-
pressed the belief that the govern
ment was relying to greater degree
than was warranted in criminal case
upon circumstantial evidence for PROOF
of violations of the Sherman law IN
the last three years.
1t was also indicated that full ad-
vantage would be taken of the recent
Supreme court ruling that only unrea-
sonable restraint Of trade shan De
considered a violation of the Sherman
law The jurors will be asked by the
defense to find that the procedure OF
the packers has not resulted In an I'M
due injury to the public,
The main fire Of the packers attor-
neys, however, according to their sy-
nopsis, Is to be directed to proof that
whatever appearance of price agree
ments or combination there may have
been, no undue amount of profit has
accrued TO them.
Mr.. Buckingham declared that evil
dence to be submitted would prove be-
yond the shadow of a doubt that the
profit of the packers on beef had been
only one-fourthl of cent a pound, in
Guiding the profits made On by-prod-
ucts, whose utilization has only been
possible by the enormous scale upon
which the packing industry has been
operated.
I'VE will show" he declared, that
the defendants, by the best business
methods and greatest economies, have.
in fact, earned less than ten per cent.
per annum on their actual money In
vestment."
The speaker went into the history
of an attempt to bring about gigan-
tic merger of the packing industry in
the country similar in plan to the
United States Steel corporation. The
plan failed because bankers who had
been counted upon to finance the pro-
ject did not furnish the money, and
the National Packing company was
formed to take over the properties
which had already been bought in an
ticipation of the merger.

ASK CHANGED BOUNTY LAW
Statute That Would Prevent
Spelling of Pelts.

Marinette.-In all probability the
next legislature will be confronted
with concerted demand by trappers
and hunte-s from northern Wiscon-
sin to amend the game bounty law
SO that it will not be necessary to
spoil valuable hides with established
market value in order to get the
bounty.
Hunters assert that under the
present law, which makes it neces-
sary to cut off an animals head to
establish the claim for bounty, they
are annually losing considerable on
the sale of hides They hold that
the hide about the head could be
cut in such way as to establish posi-
lively the species of the animal
killed, without destroying the com
mercial value of the hides. One
hunter says Marinette taxidernists
would pay So more than they now
do for wolf hides if it was not neces-
sary to cut the heads off to get the
bountieS.
