CALLED PREACHER LIAR
The Rev. Mr.. EngIe Has No Fear
of Maryland SuffragetteS.
MADE CHARGES AS AN "ANTP"
Insists That Women Served
Whiskey Punch at Dinner-An-
other Threat of Whipping.
Gpr rclcsrnnh to The Tribune. /

Baltimore. Jan. 4-The Rev. 5. ;. VI.
Fngle to-day made vigorous statement
giving details concerning the charge that
Iopor was served at the suffrage banquet
az ElHcott City, Nd. which charge has
10 TO talk of a horsewhipping for the
p ,sbyterian pastor of the Howard County
town First Of all. Mr.. Engle sets right
what he calls some fallacies, and denies
that he ever wrote the statement imputed
10 him, that Mrs. Howard 7. SchwarZ
and Mrs. Donald r. Hooker served punch
snd made more drunken men than the
community of Ellicott City had seen Tor
long time"
Mr.. Engle says that he himself saw only
one drunken man at the luncheon out
declares that he was told by a reputable
citizen the following day that large
number had been seen after the social
He still maintains emphatically that MIS-
schwarz and Mrs. Hooker served the
punch, which. he declares, was said by the
man who mixed it TO be whiskey punch,
and not tea or claret punch. He further
AYERS that there was an abundance or
bottled beer at the luncheon, and while
this was not served by. the ladies, he says,
the men helped themselves literally
Mr.. Engle declares that in taking the
course he did in his alleged expose Of the
dinner he was merely acting as an anti
suffragist. THE place of the woman is as
queen of the home" he said, "and when
they get to mixing punch and politics the
home is nothing"
Mrs. Schwarz. with her threat OF the
horse whip. must learn that there are some
things that fear more than I fear the
suffragettes. ] fear God, and stand for His
principle. And that principle is opposed to
the public calamity Of woman suffrage and
opposed TO whskey punch and beer"
This morning the Rev Mr.. Engle went TO
the office of Colonel Powell. editor 4 THE
Enicott City Times" ostensibly to come TO
some understanding with the host OF the
much discussed dinner.
Il want nothing to do with you, sir!'
shouted Colonel Powell, Get out If this
Office
What | said was the truth" answered
the minister.
You're a liar" responded the angry
colonel, Get out of my Office"
The Rev. Mr.. Engle then left.
"Onlv a coward would attack innocent
women in such a manner" reiterated Mrs.
schwarz. TT seems that his object is not
to further the cause of the 'antis,' but 10
make a direct personal attack upon Mrs.
Hooker and me- He had better beware, for
n he says anything else about us he will
get a horse-whipping, / can promise him
that"

J. J. HILL SEES A CLOUD AFTER STEEL RAILROADS A
Won't Tell Wall Street What 1t
Is Nor Its P0rtent.

James j. Hill, who arrived here from ST,
Paul on Tuesday for two weeks stay, but
did not visit Wall Street until yesterday,
cast a slight chill over the financial dls-
trict by saying that he saw a cloud on an
otherwise clear horizon When asked wnat
kind OF cloud II was and in what quarter
1t might be looked for, Mr.. Hill simply
turned on his heel and walked away, leav-
leaving Wall Street in suspense as TO
whether II was a storm cloud or the Kind
with silver lining which his far-seeing
eye discerncd.
The cloud incident came UP when Mr.. Hill
was asked what he thought Of the situation
in general.
Conditions have not changed materially
since | was here before" he replied; there
are no clouds in sight, except IN one quar-
ter"
Before making his remarks about clouds
Mr. Hill denied the report that the Burlng-
ton together with the Rock Island, was
considering the purchase OF an interest In
the Denver & Rio Grande from the MIS-
souri, Pacific. He added that the Burlington
had no intention of obtaining an interest III
any road west OF Denver but that for some
years II would probably continue 20 ex'

vival of the old report that the Great

He said they had severe weather In the
Northwest In the latter part of December

U. S. CHARTERS FOR TRUSTS
Wickersham Says Federal Incor-
poration Would End Uncertainty

Asserting his suspicion that genuine DIS
content with the Sherman law arises not so
much from any real uncertainty az to its
meaning as from realization Of that
meaning" Attorney General Wickersham.
in an article on "The Enforcement OF the
Antitrust Law" I'm the February Cen
tury Magazine" suggests federal incorpora-
ton as a remedy for the prevailing ills OF
business. The real purpose OF the law he
declares Is 10 compel fair trade and TO
keep the highways of commerce open to
all, big and little. rich and poor. on the
same terms" Therein, he asserts. lies its
greatest ethical valGc. The Attorney Cen
eral says:
The people who VIII most benefit from the
enforcement OF the law are the great army
Of consumers. II Is certainly obvious that
the number OF consumers so benefited must
far exceed the number OF stockholders VINO
may In some degree be injured But even
i'm the case OF the stockholders the injury
10 them is greatly exaggerated. The pur-
pose of the law is not to destroy industries.
II must be remembered that In all this
discussion nothing will really suit the men
who have built mp the great trusts ana
whose interests have been IN the monopoli-
zation of great lines Of industry, but some
method OF continuing I'm the future, with
greater or less immunity from interference.
the same power ana ContIol "HitH thcy
have enjoyed I'm the past.
Ir my opinion. the only effective way to
eliminate all genuine uncertainty Is through
a federal Incorporation act containing pro-
vlsions ADEQUATE to meet the situation
Congress should provide for the formation

more than to regulate the rules whereby

duct OF Interstate commerce-With limited

NO ALLOWANCE FOR HIDES
Were Not Taken Into Account in
Figuring Beef Cost.

Chicago. Jan. 24-William T. Weber
general auditor for the National Packing
COMPANY, resumed the witness stand in
the packers trial to-day.
Although no allowance was made for
hides in 1908 and during a part OF 1910
in figuring the test cost OF beef, the books
OF the National Packing Company show
that in that period the corporation re-
cei,.ed from the sale OF hides 81 ss9.05o 81.
In giving the sales by months Mr.
Weber admitted that the value of hides
during this period "aried from two 10 four
cents pound according to quality.
Weber said the S2.ooo.o0o charged
against the New York Butchers Dressed
Beef Association was not all for the pur-
chase Of the company lie said about half
the amount was for the development OF
tho corporations business.
Does the allowance made for by-prod-
ucts have any effect on the price at which
the meat Is sold?" asked Ralph Crews on
cross-cxRmination.
None" replied the witness.
How is the actual selling price deter
mined?"
by the natural law Of supply and de-
mand and nothing else"
What is meant by the margin
The margin is the difference between
the arbitrary test cost and the actual sell
ing price"

Weber was excused. and Steiner O. Lang

Co, Of Chicago. from 1907 10 1910. was

Langher said estimates OF the cost OF
beef were telegraphed to all branch houses
each week. This information was com
piled by lots OF cattle and car shipments.
At the end of the week, he said. each
branch wired him the average selling
price and this was entered In book. The
difference between the estimated cost and
the selling price was called the margin.
The average margin for the week was sus-
tanned by the total sales
