Waterways.

The rivers of the United States are
the natural arteries of this continent.
We demand that they should be open
ed to traffic as indispensable parts of
a great nationwide system of trans
portation in which the Panama canal
will be the central line, thus enabling
the whole interior of the United
States to share with the Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards in the benefits de-
rived from the canal. 1t is a national
obligation to develop u rivers, and
especially the Mississippi and its
tributaries, without delay, under a
comprehensive general plan ~coveri1g
each river system from its source to
its mouth, designed to secure its
higest usefulness for navigation, t.
rigation, domestic supply and the
prevention of floods. We pledge
our party to the Immediate prepara-
ton of such a plan which should be
made and carried out in close and
friendly cooperation between the ma
ton, the state and the ci..es affected.
The equipment organization and
experience ACQUIRED in constructing
the Panama clla, soon will be avail
able for the lakes to the gulf deep
waterway and other portions of this
great work, and should be utilized
by the nation in cooperation with
the various states, at the lowest net
cost to the people.

PROCEEDINGS OF
PACKERS TRIAL
Government Gets an Important Sit OF
Evidence Before the
Jury.

ii United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Although the
government has spent nearly two days
vainly trying to introduce a mass OF
documentary evidence in the trial OF
the packers to show continuation of
the alleged syndicate agreements be-
yond 1902, it has succeeded in plac-
ing before Judge Carpenter and the
Jury what is regarded as the most i'm
portant evidence yet submitted in the
trial of the beef trust heads.
| Testimony of Jerome H. Pratt went
to the jury today in which he describ
ed in detail the violations by the
packers of the Grosscup injunction
against the "old poll' meetings, in
collusive bids on meats advertised
for by the United States government.
The witness testified that the pack
ers were holding their conferences and
controlling shipments of meat and
prices in 1905 the same as they had
during the days of Veeder statistical
bureau and the "P. O. Box 241,' con-
ferences years before.
The governments strongest bit OF
evidence is note addressed to Pratt,
signed "F. A. F." (Francis A. Fowler)'
directing him to raise the Armour bid
for supplies to the soldiers home at
Togus, Maine, SO that the contract
would fall to the Swift Company.
Armour had the contract for year
and. witness said, il was now Swifts
turn to get it. The bids We're SO ar
ranged.
Attorney Mayer for the packers re-
newed objections to the introduction
OF the further documents offered by
the government. In the argument
that followed Mayer asked that all OF
Pratt's testimony regarding individual
packers be stricken out tending to
show actions of corporation instead
of individuals.
Attorney Pierce Butler answered
for the government, in scathing tir-
ade against the defendants. He said
the acts of the individuals were behind
those of the corporations: that three
giant firms controlled the industry
more firmly than in the old days; that
every dollar of the business was diyid-
ed up and each concern jealousy
guarded its share and complained to
the common syndicate OF any infringe
ment of its rights or territory. All
these things he said showed through
the corporation conspiracy on the
part of the individual defendants.

capias, directing him to produce
Richeson in court, he found the MUIR
derer in readiness with the exception
OF putting on his hat and outside
coat. Richeson was hustled into a
waiting prison van, and driven to
the yard of the Tombs. He was then
taken out OF the wagon and led
through the passage below the court
house and up the back stairway and
then into court through the library
entrance. Not dozen people saw
him enroute.
AS Richeson was hustled into the
enclosure where his attorneys We're
in waiting, he quickly glanced at the
people in the rear of the court house.
The minister had not changed much
since his arraignment He was clean
shaven and although very pale and
worn, as the result of his experiences
he seemed to be in the full posses
sion of all his mental faculties. That
he had lost weight since incarcera-
ton was shown by the looseness of
his clothing. He wore the black coat
and vest he had on when arraigned,
and low turned down collar.
His slightly curly hair was some
what tousled and deep creases in hls
face, and big black rings about his
eyes showed plainly the effect of the
mental strain and physical suffering
he has gone through during the last
few weeks. He walked with an evil
dent effort. and it was plain that he
was still suffering from the effects o.,
bis self-inflicted wounds and the sub
sequent operation necessitated there
by AS soon as the court proceedings
were over Richeson was hustled out
the way he had come, and taken
back to his cell where he will remain
for short time before being trans
ferred to Charlestown Jail to awan
either execution or the communication
of the sentence.
His attorneys stated that they will
at once prepare the petitions for
presentation to the governor asking
that the sentence imposed today be
changed to imprisonment for life
They will base the request on the
mental state of Richeson and by the
fact that pleading guilty he had been
of great benefit to the common
wealth.
Quick Work.
The entire court proceedings occu-
pied only fifteen minutes from the
time Judge Sanderson assembled the
bench until the condemned man had
been transferred to the detention pen
until he could be returned to jail.
Richeson will be kept. in the Charles
street jail until May 8, when he will
be taken to the state prison to await
execution.
After the formal plea of guilty had
been entered District Attorney Pelle-
Ter read the confession made by the
preacher last Friday and it was or
dered spread on the minutes.
In formally moving sentence the
district attorney said:
"If may be permitted, as an Off
Ger of this court, | would like to state
that in my opinion, had tits case
gone to trial, there would have been
no alternative for the trial jury BIZ.
to have found this defendant guilty
of murder in the first degree. The
states evidence was conclusive and
because OF this fact ! move that the
only sentence permissible under the
law death. be now imposed.
Judge Sanderson then explained
the law in the case, making it plain
