Chicago. A surprise was sprung
at the resumption of the trial of
the ten indicted Chicago packers
when Judge Carpenter of the federal
court refused to grant them the bene-
fit of the immunity baths they re-
ceived in 1905.
The court ruled that the govern
ment may submit evidence regarding
all acts alleged TO have been commit
ted by the defendants at any time
prior to the bringing of the indict-
ments. Attorneys for the defense
had objected to the introduction OF
any evidence regarding acts prior to
1905 because of the ruling of the
federal courts In the previous cases
against the packers.
1t was argued by John S. Miller of
packers counsel that Francis A. Fow-
Ter. Edward Tilden and L. II. Hey
man. who were not indicted in 1908,
furnished information to James r.
Garfield. the governments investiga-
tor. and that they were entitled to
the same immunity from prosecution
for acts prior to that time as the
seven other indicted packers.

FAVORS UNION OF
SIX COMMISSIONS
Board Wants One Central Body
for State Affairs.
MONEY LOST ON LAST FAIR
Deficit of $4,651.97 Is Admitted After
Accounts of 1911 Wisconsin Exhi-
hition Are Finally Straight
ened Out.

Madtson.-At a meeting OF the Wis
consin state board of agriculture, held
at Madison. it was decided to try and
have many of the present boards and
commissions having TO do with state
affairs united into one commission.
The various bodies which would be
thus combined are the state board of
public affairs, the state board of agri-
culture, the state board of immigra-
ton, the dairy and food commission,
the forestry department, the farmers
institutes All of these bodies overlap
one on the other more or less and it
is believed more effective work could
be done il all were combined. In ad-
dition to this, it is proposed that the
supervision Of county fairs should be
vested in the same commission. A
bill to this effect will be drafted and
introduced in the next legislature.
The financial report presented
showed that the state fair of 1911
cost s115.01267. The state fair of
1910 cost 96,126.49 The state fair of
1909 cost S104 ,935.7S. The total ex-
penses for the fair of 1911 were s119.-
279.67 and the receipts S114,62770.
The deficit is $4,65197.
The outstanding bills are $5,293.S7,
with outstanding collections of $685.. 69,
leaving $4,72S.18 still to be paid. There
is balance in the general fund of
the board of S1,01215, which leaves
$3,116.03 that will have TO be taken
out of the state appropriation of $751;
600 when that comes due on the first
of the year. This will leave the board
with a balance of 81, 2S397 to begin
work for the fair Of 1912.
The board rescinded the resolution,
adopted at the last annual meeting,
giving the secretary of the board
power to discharge employees and
placed this power back in the hands
of the entire board.
While the board was in executive
session most Of the time it is learned
at differences 1s.ween Secretary
owlands and some OF mis- force occu-
pied considerable of the time. as well
as discussion of the discrepancy be-
tween the financial statement made
when the fair closed. which was to
the effect that the fair had made about
$4,000, as compared with the present
statement, which showed a deficiency
of that amount.
