he could induce to follow him. a
merry chase through the remarkably
beautiful glen above Ramsey Falls.
Judge Mills and Bill Witherspoon

too fat for such strenuous work.

Schmahl Proud of Redwood
State auditor Iverson, Mr.. Gordon,
Mr.. Young. Mr.. Smith and others
expressed exactly the same senti-
ment in nearly the same words,
There was not a word Of criticism
from any one. julius A. Schmall,
secretary of state said:
Il was as proud of Redwood Falls
today as at any time in the city's
history. Hard work and intelligent
discharge of duties made the day a
big success. The visitors have only
words of praise for Redwood Falls,
and this praise is thoroughly de-
served.
No Accident MARRIED the Day
That not an accident married the
day was in a large measure due to
the wise precautions taken by Sup
erintendent Joseph Tyson who was
ably assisted by his son. Edwin Ty-
son. A number of men were given
police authority and stationed at
various points where accidents might
have occurred in the park. Their
watchfulness prevented trouble in |
spite of the fact that hundreds of |
cars and teams were permitted, to |
enter the park.
Mr.. Iverson was the first speaker
and in concluding said:
This park has received an hon
ored name, the most distinguished |
name in Minnesota's history, thel
name of our first territorial Cover
nor. our heroic War Governor, Unit
ed States Senator. Secretary of War.

.SULzBERGER TAKES STAND
TELLS OF HIS DEALINGS WITH
THE DEFENDANT MEMBERS
OF MEAT TRUST

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Judge Carpenter
today overruled the objection of the
defense in the packers trial to the
introduction of the minutes Of the
meetings of the directors Of the Ma
tional Packing company between 1907
and 1910. The government attempted
to read the minutes to the jury sew
eral weeks ago but the defense made
objection and the court took the mat
ter under consideration. 1t was at
the directors meetings, held Tues
day afternoons, that the government
contends the defendants agreed on
selling prices, margin shipments and
the division of territory in violation
of the Sherman law.
Ferdinand Sulzberger, president Of
Sulzberger and Sons company, success
sors to the Schwarzschild and Sulz-
berger company, was called to the
stand. In reply to questions Gov
ernment Attorney Sheean, the witness
told of attending the old packers pool
meetings held every Tuesday after
noon in the office Of Attorney Veeder
in Chicago from 1898 to 1902.
He named the ten defendants and
said they attended the pool meetings
at different times. Mr.. Sulzberger de-
scribed the attempt made by the Ar
mour. Swift and Morris interests to
purchase the Schwarzschild and
Sulzberger company in 1902, with
the intention of putting the company
in the proposed "billion" dollar pack
ers combine.
The witness produced contract
dated August 26. 1902, between him
self and Armour, Swift and Morris,
by which he agreed to sell majority
of the stock at $3.50 to be paid for in
shares of the proposed merger. The
contract was read to the jury by Gov
ernment Attorney Sheean. Mr.. Sulz-
berger explained that the terms OF
the contracts never were carried out
because of inability of the promoters
to finance the project.

JUDGE LEAHY DENIES
HABEAs CORPUS WRIT
REFUSES TO GIVE HARDEN LIB
ERTY, HOLDING THAT ELEc-
TRiclTY CAN BE STOLEN

Holding that electricity is COM
modify and as such is subject to
fraud and theft, Judge David ]. Leahy
yesterday refused to issue writ of
habeas corpus for D. A. Harden. Har-
den has been in the county jail since
early in the winter, having been held
for examination by the grand jury on
the charge of stealing electricity from
the Las Vegas Light and Power com
pany His attorneys maintained that
electric current is invisible and not
subject to theft. For this reason they
applied for a writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Leahy, in denying the writ,
held that electricity can be stolen.
The contention OF Harden's attorneys
has never been settled by any SUI
preme court in the United States
and Judge Leahy's decision. there
fore, is unique. Harden was manager
of the Imp motion picture theater,
which is now known as the Browne
and is located on Douglas avenue.
Officials of the electric light and pow
er company allege that they noticed
the Imp was using surprisingly
small amount of current, the cause
of which condition, they learned after
an investigation, was the fact that
Harden had cut out the meter by the
skillful use of wires. It is asserted
that he allowed only a small part Of
the current used BY the theater t.
pass through the meter. Judge Leahy
reduced Harden's bond to 500, which
he furnished. He was released las
might Harden is represented by
Hunker and Hunker.

The continuance of the strike and

congress during the last few days tc
have the bureau of labor investigate.

MAKES SENSATIONALCHARGES
REFERS TO THE APPOINTMENT
OF c. P. SWAIN AS UNITED
STATES MARSHAL
ENGAGED IN BAD PRACTICES
DECLARES MAN WHO GOT HIGH
OFFICE WAS MORALLY UNFIT
FOR THE JOB

Washington, Feb. 2S.-An array of
evidence heard BY BY tn the senate judi
ciary committee in it's inquiry into
the appointment of c. P. Swain as
United States marshal for Delaware,
was laid before the senate today by
Mr.. Reed, of Missouri, in arguing the
passage of his resolution providing
for an investigation of the election
of Senator Dupont of Delaware.
Senator Reed insisted if this evi-
dence were given credence, the SEN
ate not only should investigate the
1910 election, but should demand of
the Delaware senator an explanation
Of his action in recommending for
appointment to the high office of Uni
ted States marshall a man whom he
knew to be engaged in corrupt prac-
tees"
"I deem this to be my solemn
duty" said the senator, sand shall be
glad if thorough investigation re-
suits in completely exculpating the
senator from Delaware.
The disclosures made by the wit
nesses are, of such character as
to demand further investigation.
That investigation ought to be court
ed by an innocent man. On January
2, 1902 the president appointed Cor
nelius p. Swain United States mar
shall for the district of Delaware and
sent that appointment to the senate
for confirmation. With an alacrity
which was astonishing the appoint
ment was reported to the senate by
the committee, and on the day it
reached the senate it was confirmed.
Such, at least, is the newspaper SEN
timent.
"In some way citizens of Delaware
learned of the fact and protested to
some member or members of the SEN
ate, with the result that the action
of approval, was rescinded The mat
ter was re-referred to the committee
and an investigation demanded by
citizens of Delaware was held.
Senator Reed reviewed the testi-
mony given before the judiciary com
mittee, declaring there was unim-
peached evidence that thousands of
dollars were distributed from the Of
fees of Henry A. and T. Colman Du-
pont, to be used for corruption.

NO NEW MARSHAL

Washington. Feb. zS.--It was an
nounced at the White House today
that the president has decided to re-
tain Creighton M. Foraker as United
States marshal for New Mexico, at
least until the New Mexico senators
are elected and sworn in and. possibly
until after the presidential election.
This announcement was made follow
ing the sending to the senate of the
nomination of Charles A. Overlook as
United States marshal for Arizona.
It is also said that the president
has determined to make no changes
in federal officials in New Mexico at
this time. This decision, it is be-
lieved, is the result OF some conflict
among the republican leaders in New
Mexico over federal patronage.
