PACKERS LOSE AGAIN
Motion to Discharge Two Defendants
Is Denied.

Chicago, March 13.-Another blow
was dealt the packers charged with
criminal violation of the Sherman law
today when United States District
Judge Carpenter denied a motion for
the discharge of Edward Morris and
Louis H. Heyman, two of the defend
ants, on a technical objection to the
Indictment.
The government alleged that Morris
& Company of New Jersey handled
the fresh meat for corporation and
counsel for the defense declared that
Morris & Company, a Maine corpora
ton, is the concern which the govern
ment should have named in this con-
nection.
In denying the motion Judge Carpen-
ter said the evidence showed Morris
and company. of New Jersey, was the
corporation through which the sales of
fresh meat We're made and that the
government allegation was sufficiently
plain under the law.
Edward Morris is president of Morris
and company and Louis H. Heyman is
manager for the company's beef de-
partment.
The packers and their attorneys have
thus far been unable to c.gree on the
character of defense to be presented 20
the jury. They were in conference sew
eral hours today without reaching a de-
ciSiOn.

Picking, March 13.-General Sheng-
Yuan who under the expire held the
post of governor of the province of
Shen-Si, is marching at the head of

San Francisco, March 13.-The muffin
Gus Waichow volunteers, who battled
for three days with the regular army
capped on three captured vessels, &C
cording to cablegram received today
from Canton.
The battle waged furiously on tue
nights of March 10 and IL. Three gun
boats bombarded the volunteers and
forced them to retreat down the Peal
river. 1t is reported unofficially three
vessels in which they escaped were sunk
by the gunboatS.
Many foreigners are leaving Canton
for Hong Kong because of the disturb
ances.
The local Chinese consulate today re-
ceived a message from President-elect
Yuan Shi Kai transmitted through the
Chinese lega ton at Washington as fol-
lows:
1.-THE change of the Chinese govern
ment from a despotic monarchy to Il
liberal republic was accomplished by
the united forces of the people. 1t is
now the duty of Chinese to unite and
support the government thus formed,
forgetting all differences that may have
existed in the past and cooperating
with the officials appointed by the PEG
pie to work out the destiny of the re-
public in order to obtain the respect of
the world "

CALLS WHITE INSANE.
DR.. e. E. Brady Says He Suffers From
kOrsakoffs Psychsoshis.

St. Louis, March 13.-Dr. z. F. Brady,
secretary of the st. Louis Society of
Medical Research. told the society that A.
J. White, claimant in the famous case, is
suffering with a disease known as Kor-
sakoff's psychsoshis. He said Whites
condition passed into a paranoiac state,
which accounted for the transformation
of his personality into that of George A.
ktnnel, the missing banker.
John Boone Swinny, picturesque New
Mexico ranchn1an, will not be called upon
TO repeat his remarkable story of how ne
saw George A. Kimmel killed in the wilds
of Oregon in August, 1895 and how he
killed Al Johnson, the alleged murderer
of KiInmel
Mrs. Edna X Bonslett of Chicago, sis
ter of Kimmel, and plaintiff in the cir
cult court suit which has not been tried
before, will base her claim on the seven
year presumption of death, which was not
admissible in the suit recently tried in
the United States district court result
ing in a hung jury.
The plaintiff will set up the claim that
<immeI is legally dead because he was
not seen or heard from by family and
friends for seven years after his disap-
pearance from Arkansas City, Kan, in
July, 1888. Swinny said that Kimmel was
killed after the finding of $4,000 buried
gold by man named Johnson, who was
called 'tAI' or Albert. Swinny said he
knew nothing about Johnson's previous

WOMEN INVADE CAPITOL
Go Before Committees of Both Houses
and Ask for Votes.

Washington, March 13.-Women' $
suffrage leaders invaded the capitol
today and presented their arguments
to congress in advocacy of an amend
ment to the constitution to enfran-
chise women. Hearings were given
by a joint committee of the woman's
suffrage committee and judiciary COM
mittee in the senate and by the ju-
dietary committee of the house.
DIR. Anna Shaw marshaled the suf-
fragette forces at the senate hearing
Mrs. Laidlaw assured the committee
that the women were not militant, but
only 'tinsistent and persistent.
Probably the most determined speak
er was Miss Leonora O'Reilly, of New
York, representing the wage earners.
I'VE don't want to bluff you" said
she, I'VE want the ballot for our own
good. We don't get half enough 20
live on and vet we have got to keep
decent. You men make the laws so that
when you do wrong you get off but
when we women do wrong We go to the
gutter and prison. We have heard the
tommyrot given us by legislators. We
know the game. You men want this
nation to get rich. You don't know that
riches lie in human lives"
DR.. Shaw asked the senate committee
to recommend in case it did not report
the constitutional amendment an in
vestigatioh of woman suffrage in the
states which had granted it.
A Iull dIJenuanCe OF the mousse JuOl-
ciary committee and the proponent of
six different congressional resolutions
giving them votes marked the house
welcome to the suffra gettes.
Although Representatives Raker
(CaL), Lafferty (Ore). Taylor (Col.).
Mondeu CWyo). Rucker (CoL), and
Berger CWis.), authors of suffra gette
resolutions were there to show their
gallantry it remained for Representa-
tive Garland Dupre of Louisiana to go
the limit of consideration for the fair
sex. Mr.. Dupre is a member of the
committee.
Miss Jane Adams of Hull house, Chi
cago, was the first of nine speakers. She
argued that million women would
vote for president in the coming election,
a half million more have votes in munich
pal elections and that women the in
spiration and active agent in many in
situations of philanthropic reform should
have a voice in the government. She
said that the care of the child and it's
protection was rapidly becoming more a
mater of government control and that
woman, the mother, should have a part in

WANT MADERO TO QUIT
Mexican Presidents Immediate Re-
signation Is Demanded.

Chihuahua, March 13.-The imme-
diate resignation of President Ma
dero and Vice President Pine Suarez
is demanded in a bill which was pre-
sented today before the permanent
commission of the state legislature
The deputies presenting the measure
ask that a special session of the leg
islature be called to adopt it. thus
placing the state in the position of
formally repudiating the central gov
eminent.

dent and vice president saying that
only by resigning Immediately can
they prevent the shedding of blood.

ON SPUR OF THE MOMENT
BY ROY K. MOULTOr..
We've stopped Buying Meat.


Us folks amt goin' to buy no meat.
We're goin' to kill the trust.
Our dad says that the packers ring we're
surely going to bust
We haven't ct a bit of beef or pork since
Monday morn.
But still we're feelin' fine and we will
laugh the trust to scorn.
Mas dug up Sarah Rorer's work that
tells you how to cook
And she amt goin to miss a single thing
that's in the book,
Providin' that the recipe don't mention
any meat
She says she'll fix up veg tables so they
will be treat.
We had potatoes Monday, cooked in
nineteen different styles
And buckWheat cakes and graham gems
in most attractive piles.
Of course, dad bought a turkey but that
amt exactly meat,
But he said we must have it fer to make
the meal complete.
He's bargained for some chickens from
a man who runs a farm;
OF course we've all stopped eatin' meat
but chicks won't do no harm
Pa S boycotted the butchers and says they
won't get his dough.
But he eats sirloin steaks down town at
noon for lunch we know.
Since we have cut out meat at home,
we're having eggs each day;
They cost a whole lot more than meat
but dad says that's the way
To knock the food trust in the head and
save our hard earned wealth
We've got to have some food like that IL
we'd preserve our health
We've had canned mushrooms once or
twice. They used to ''cost too much. -
And lobster la Newburg and canned
pineapple and such.
To knock the food trust in the head
used to be q treat,
We're saving up dead loads of coin since
we stopped buying meat.

volcano, current for several weeks,

The fear had it's origin in the fact
that clouds of steam and blue smoke
rushed from newly turned ground. In
many of the assures the temperature
was so high that the hand could not
be held in them. Every drill hole in
the affected area is tested with a
thermometer before dynamite is put
in, the purpose being to prevent a pre-
mature explosion.
Wood and other substances dropped
into the cracks are charred quickly.
The division engineers report of the
phenomenon is in part as follows;
Three weeks ago 1 noticed that the
locality described, which consisted of a
stratified sedimentary rock. among
which there appeared some Ignite of a
low grade. was sending up a thick
cloud of white steam or vapor. I eX-
amined the spot and found that the en-
tire mass was heated to a considerabl
temperature
Steam was escaping from numerous
small openings and from four principal
vents. The sides of two of the vents
were encrusted with white and yellow

ing to be sulphur.

been quite a change in two important

of the larger vent. I took a piece IF

According to Uncle Abner.

There is never much harm in a madolin
player-when he amt playin' it.
1t looks though the outcome of the
election in this country is going to be
purity close. straw vote was took at
Tibbitt's general store last night and the
result was as follows: Roosevelt, /: Taft,
]: LaFollette, /; Cummins, 1; Harmon, l.:
Harrison, l; Wilson, /; Underwood, L;
Bryan, ]: Clark, 1.
1t doesn't look as though there is go
ing to be much farm work done this
year if the politics hold out.
When a Teller learns how to run his
automobile it is time to buy a new ma
chine.
1t seems strange, but almost everybody
lives next door to some mean critter who
won't shovel the snow off his walk.
If all the proposed railroads were built
there wouldn't be room for a single
potater patch from Maine to Californy.
If you fold up the napkin it is a sign
that You expect to be invited to eat an
other meal in the house and If you don't
fold 1t up 1t is a sign you are a boor, SO
what is a Teller to do? Hank Tumms
solves the problem by sticking the napkin
in his pocket and taking it home with
him.
Who kin blame the wimmen for getting
into politics and business when most of
the beauty dope and advice to mothers
for the Sunday papers is written by men ?
I never see Teller who Travelled
through the west but what came back
with the firm impression that there is
going to be great revolution in politics.
