STEERS ARRIVE
FOR ROUNDUP

"Wild beyond all restraint" twen-
ty-five genuine long-horn Texan
steers, the only ones of their kind in
the northwest, arrived over the
Northern Pacific yesterday and are
now in one of the corrals at Round
up Park waiting for the time when
they will be called upon to furnish
some real excitement for twenty thou
sand people. They will be used in
the steer roping and bull dogging con-
tests and the maverick races.
The arrival of the steers marks the
success of negotiations which have
been carried on for several months
by Livestock Manager Sturgis. So
heavy and slow have been the steers
used in the past two Round-ups that
the association judged that it would
be well worth the time, effort and
money if some real Texan or Mexican
steers could be secured. The Texan
or Mexican steer is much different
than the steer of the northwest. He
is much longer of horn, much leaner
OF body and much fleeter of foot and
withal much wilder by nature and
more uncertain of temper; all of
which makes him more adapted to
the purposes of a frontier exhibition.
After considerable effort it was
| learned that band of these steers
had just been received in Montana
from Mexico and negotiations were
finally made whereby the Roundup
association became the owner of
twenty-five head. Bert Whitman, 10
cal stock buyer, was dispatched to

PACKERS AUDITOR
 EXPLAINS FIGURES
William E. Weber Spends Fourth Successive Day
 on the Stand

Chicago, January Civilian D.. Weber, geenral auditor for the Nation al Packing company, resumed his tes- timony on the witness stand in the meat packers trial today It was Webers fourth day on tho stand. District Attorney Willterson ex- pected to conclude the direct examina- ton of the witness before the close of the session.
 Evidence that the packing company was one of the agencies used by the alleged packers combination to destroy competition was given yesterday By the books of the company the government showed that the corpora ton acquired by purchase 13 competing companies after it's organization in March. 1 903, and that the price paid for these concerns was $S,o0O.OOO Most of them were immediately closed.
 The packers have contended, accord ing to the theory of the government. that the sole object of oorganizing the National Packing company was 10 op- crate the Is independent packing com panies purchased in 1902 to put them III the DIOBbStu b4iiApft h'iiNi 'NAN' ta ~ which was abandoned because of the inability to finance it
 This contention was refuted by the government
 Does the allowance made for by products have any effect on the price at which the meat is sold?' asked At torney Ralph Crews, on cross examina- tion.
 None" replied the witness.
 How is the actual selling price de- termined?'
 By the natural law of supply and demand, and nothing else"
 "What is meant by the margin"
 "The margin Is the difference between the arbitrary test cost and the actual selling price"
 t After being on the stand four days, Weber was excused and Steiner q. Iangher, margin clerk for G. H. Ham rnond & Co. of Chicago, from 1907 to 1910. was called by the government
 Gansher said estimates of the cost of beef were telegraphed to all branch houses each week. This information was compiled by lots of cattle and car shipments. At the end of the week, he said, each branch wired him the aver age selling price and this was entered in a book The difference between the estimated cost and the selling price was called the margin. The average margin for the week was obtained by the total sales.

CONFERENCE ON THE ACTION OF ITALY Expect Satisfactory Solu- tiOn of Difference With
 France

l Rome, June 24.-The subject of the de- | tention of % Turks, said to be members
 of the order of the Crescent society, by
 Italian authorities who captured them on
 the French steamer Manouba. was fully
 discussed at conferences today between
 Premier Giolitt Foreign Minister Mar | quis Di San Giuloano and the French
 ambassador to Italy, Camille Barrere. The
 conferences are said to have been very
 cordial. but the Turks are still held un- der arrest at Cagliari, Island of Sardinia. Italy maintains her right to capture and search ships of neutral nations sus-
 pected of carrying contraband of war. This has been the course followed not only in the case of French steamers but also with, the German and Austrian vessels.
 It.is pointed out other nations have acted
 similarly in recent years and that Italy
 is ready to submit the cases to the
 Hague tribunal and pay indemnity if an
 error has been committed.
 Italy does not, however, admit any limi- tation of that right. It is her intention
 to protect it's army. So far as the Italian authorities will speak,. the examination or
 fhe Turks in question seems to have proved that both doctors and nurses were included in the group of prisoners, ! their presence was to distract attention from others, who are believed to be Turk 1 ish officers as they were in possession of arms. maps and check for a large sum of money
 Italian officials call attention to the fact 1 that another alleged red crescent expedi- ton was once halted in Egypt by Gen. aral Kitchener and sent back, as it was comnosed of belligerents.
 Italv admits that France is exercising lNher duty admirably as neutral power,
 b,,t urges that France does not resent the wish on the part of Italy, even if a mistake is made to exercise what she con- siaers to be her right, as neither France nor any other nation can guarantee that, in applying all possible measures to op- serve strict neutrality, she may not be deceived
 The result of the conferences has been reported to the French government, ana so far the two countries have been anti mated by such a conciliatory spirit that it is expected a satisfactory solution Will
 soon be found.
 Paris. January 2i.-The foreign office to- night received a dispatch from M. Barrere,
 the French ambassador at Rome, report ing the result of his interview today with
 Marquis Di San Giulano, the Italian for
 eign minister
 While maintaining the strictest reserve as to what passed the French foreign
 officers declared that the pour parlers
 with reference to the Turkish prisoners
 taken by the Italian authorities from the
 French steamer Manouba have made, good
 progress and continues to hope that 2
 satisfactory solution will be reached.

Steamer Carrying MT. and Mrs. Henry B. Gray in
 Collision

Honolulu January 2i.-In collision to- day between the Hamburg American liner Cleveland and the United States almored cruiser Colorado, the latter suffered con siderable damage. The collision was due to the fact that the pilot had dropped dead on the liners bridge.
 The steamer struck the Colorado astern, jamming the gun near the cabin occupied by capt. William A. Gill, The turret was wronched and the resetting of the gun. probably will be necessary, although the extent of the damage could not be deter mined.

Dentwolf The vessel was on a trip around the world on n tourists excursion and carried hundreds of American trav- elers Many were ashore at the time of the collision. There was no panic or confusion.
