From Charge of kidnapping
John ]. Mcnamara.
All Charges in Indictments Are
Held Null and Void.
Detective compIimented by Federal
Court for Service Rendered.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1t.-After
being eomplimented, today. by the fed
eral court fer having rendered a
great service to his country" William
j. Burns, the detective. was released
from the charge of having kidnapped
John J. Mcnamara. the convicted dy-
namiter. All the charges in the in
dictments against Burns for having ar
rested the labor leader in Indianapolis
last April and taking him to California
for trial, were held to be null and
void
II | or this court had had anything
10 do with the arrest of Mr.. Burns in
this instance, I should certainly now
tender him an apology" said Federal
Judge A. b. Anderson, in disimssins
the indictments brought by the county
grand jury under which the detective
had been held in $4,000 bail. "The
order which the court shall enter Will
make it impossible for any prosecu-
tons to be brought under the indict-
ments."
The court held that when Burns ano
James Hosick, Los Angeles detec-
tive, arrested Mcnamara on a requisi-
ton from the governor of California
which was honored by the governor
of Indiana, they acted legally under
the federal statutes and any conflict
in the state law with the federal Law
which made it possible to bring an in
dictment was not constitutional.
The Federal Constitution and Con-
gress, the court said, delegated TO the
governors of the states the power oil
honoring acquisitions for fdgitives
from justice and the Indiana Legisla-
ture had no legal right to take this
power from the governor and add it tt
the duties of a county judge. The in
dictments against Burns and Hosick

Issues a Statement
In Which He Says Things About the
Persian Government.

Teheran, Jan. 1l.-W. Morgan Shus-

Europe. He was accompanied by his
family and Edward Bell. secretary OF
the American legation at Teheran, and

Prior to his departure Mr.. shuster

dismissal of the de facto government
Since then, in spite of repeated re-
quests, no proper steps have been
taken to relieve me of my duties. The
members of the cabinet, vindictiye
on account of the fact that the Ma
tional Council supported me, sought
by all possible means to humiliate
and embarrass me.
After receiving an impolite and in
coherent proposal to turn over my Of

REGULARS DEFEAT INSURGENTS.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Republican
Insurgents met defeat in the House,
today, in an attempt to upset Repub-
lican Leader Mann's power to name all
Republican candidates for places on
the House committees. Led by Rep.
Norris Of Nebraska, who managed the
great rules fight in the previous Con-
gress, the Insurgents tried to set aside
Mr.. Mann's nomination of Philip b.
Campbell of Kas., Regular, to succeed
the late E. II. Madison. Insurgent. on

nate in his place Victor Murdoch of
Kas.. Insurgent. Being opposed by
both Democratic and Republican lead
ers, the Insurgents action was beaten
by vote of 167 to 107. OF the LOT
votes east in favor OF Mr. Murdoch, &c
were those of Republicans and 81
Democrats: 107 Republican votes were
cast against the proposed substitute.
Underwood extorted the Democrats to
uphold the Republican leader whom
the Republican caucus had authorized
to select committee members for the
Republican side.
Norris attacked both the caucus
method of selecting committees and
the right OF either party. to prevent
open nominations on the floor, Mr..
Underwood replied that nominations
from the floor of the House would de-
|stroy completely the balance of com
mittees; and that the authority OF
some one to pass upon appointments
must be recognized. Notwithstanding
this attitude. many Democrats vote
with the Insurgents.
After the defeat of Rep. Murdocb
for the place on the committee the
House elected Mr. Campbell. The In

Packers Books and Rec
ords, Inspected by Jury,
And Used in Figuring Meat TEST
Cost, Are Missing.
Employees Testify, Thursday, to In.
successful Search for Records.

Chicago, Jan. l1.-Books and records
showing the items and allowances
used in figuring the test cost of fresh
meats which We're inspected by a fed
eral grand jury investigating charges
or rebating against the packers in 1909
cannot be found by employees of the
defendants for use in the trial of the
10 packers charged with conspiracy in
restraint of trade. before United
States District Judge Carpenter.
Three accountants employed by the
packers testified, today, that they
searched for the records in question
and were unable to find them. They
said they believed the documents had
been destroyed.
The witnesses We're asked to bring
the price ledger and other books bear
ing on the manufacture and sale of
fresh meat into court, tomorrow. but
it is expected that the defence will
make determined effort to prevent
them from going into sthe record of
the case on the grounds that the books
of corporation cannot be used as
evidence against it's officers in a
criminal proceeding.
The three witnesses heard. today,
had testified against the packers be-
fore federal grand juries, but Judge
Carpenter declined to permit these
witnesses to read the stenographer's
report of the grand jury evidence to
refresh their memory.
The packers accountants were I'M
able to remember many of the items
and allowances used in figuring the
test cost of slaughtered cattle.
The three witnesses heard were
Henry T.. Meyer. chief accountant in
the dressed meat department of Ar
mour & Co, Edgar Rothschild, a clerk
in the same department, and II. A.
Tfmmins, chief accountant for Morris
& Co. The government endeavored to
show by the testimony of these wit
neSses that the system used by Ar
mour & Co., and Morris IL Co.. in fig
uring the test cost, was substantially
the same and that the allowances
made for the different by products
We're inadequate.
District Attorney Wilkerson said
that in the future, employees of the
packers summoned as witnesses by the
government would be excluded from
the court room until they are called
to the stand.

Must Report
Deaths
Vital Statistics Law to be
Enforced to the Letter
to Get Certificates.

Richmond. Va. Dec. IA
The State BOARD of Health will
shortly issue n final warning to
all persons interested i'll the
vital statistics law, cautioning
them that failure to file the GER
titicate of any death will result
in n prosecution.
Statistics compiled by the Of
ficers of the Board during the
last few weeks show that the
public is supporting very fully
the law for the registration of
births, but that, in some parts
of the State, deaths are not be
ing reported with equal care.
ThoBoard has heretofore soue Int
to procure report of these deaths
without invoking the penalty
clauses of the law, and has
found this course justified in
most counties of the State; but
prosecutions may shortly be
expected in those localities
from which death certificates
are not properly forwarded.
The success of the law has
exceeded the hopes of the Board
and the ease with which it was
introduced has been a source Of
deep congrntulation, but the
Board is now anxious to com
plete the work and to place
Virginia among { h e States
whose vital statistics are ac
cepted by the Federal Census
Bureau.
