MOTION MADE TO
FREE PACKERS
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANTS
CLAIM STATE HAS FAILED TO
MAKE OUT CASE.

Chicago, March s. COUNSEL for the
defense in the trial of ten Chlcago
meat packers charged with criminal
violation Of the Sherman law began
determined battle today to5obtain the
liberty of their wealthy clients. At
torney John S. Miller presented YER.
bal motion asking Judge Carpenter to
take the case from the jury and dis
charge the packers, declaring that the
government had failed to prove the
charges contained in the indictment :
Every criminal case is made up OF
a number of essential facts, two OF
which are so essential that If the
prosecution fails to prove them, the
entire case falls said Attorney Mil
Ter. First in Importance is the ques'
ton whether an offense has been com
mitted. The next question is whether
in the event of an offense being COM
mitted, has it been proved beyond
reasonable doubt.
I'm this case all the evidence pre-
scented by the government is circum-
stantial. Conspiracy is charged but
the government utterly has failed to
prove it."

SAD WEEK. FOR ROOSEVELT.

kansas City Journal-One weel
after Theodore Roosevelt announced
his candidacy for a third term, his
managers paused to take stock of the
situation. Colonel Roosevelt in an in
terview given Sunday, seemed some
what dispirited. Contrary to his usua
buoyant attitude he was manifestly
less confident of success than when he
made his announcement the week be
fore. He still maintained that he was
the choice of the people in popular
VOTE" but limited that because Presi'
dent Taft had the machinery" the
outlook was uncertain. -
1t can hardly be denied even by
Roosevelt's warmest friends that his
spectacular announcement fell fiat.
Although every preparation had been
made to give it the most attractive
stage setting and for weeks his
friends had carefully worked Things
up to the grand climax, the announce
ment had been discounted and Great
ed no sensation. The nation did not
burst into flame and President Ia1t
did not suffer from palpitation OF the
heart. In fact, the long-wa1ted-for
announcement created no excitement
whatever and even the newspapers
aligned against the president were
unable to arouse themselves to any
degree of enthusiasm.
The week that has passed was con-
secrated to Rooseveltism. 1t had
been predicted that the coloneis
announcement would reach ITS
maximum effect at that time. But
at the end of the week even Roose-
welt himself was depressed by the
reaction. He had been confident that
the people" had called to him as
the logical leader in a great national
crisis. But after the first day he
saw that what had appeared to be
Spontaneous demand" was In reality
only the activity of coterie OF busy
politicians who had given him the
impression that they were represent
atives of a tremendous popular up
rising. Every Roosevelt man OF
prominence in the country went to
Oyster Bay or the Outlook office and
"iollied" the colonel. : He was told
marvellous tales of STRAW votes" and
of the great cause of humanity that
was calling him to lead. All of which
fed his vanity and excited his amDl-
ton.
Roosevelt has lost ground since his
Columbus speech. Prominent men
he had counted on as his strong sup
porters have confessed that they can
not follow such desperate leadership.
In one week all the excitement has
passed and much of the interest in
the coloners candidacy has subsidized:
And in that one week Colonel Roose,,
Welt has dropped from his proud posi-
ton as the most distinguished private
citizen in the republic to the level of
the common political Office hunter.
He has voluntarily forfeited honor,
peace and dignity-sacrificed them
for more power, which he Will never
get. This was the saddest week thus
far in all the singular career OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt. " @t.

From a geographical and scientific
standpoint the discovery of the south
pole while momentous event, has not
the same features OF importance and
danger as relate to the north pole. The
quest for the north pole has been
through great fields Of open water and
floating ice, whereas the south pole is
situated on land. Scores of naviga-
tors have persisted in the quest for
the north pole but relatively few in
trying to reach the south pole. The
problem has not been one of reaching
the pole over floating ice but of pass
ing rapidly over the snow covered
foot hills of the mountain range and
terrifying glaciers.
