CODE TELEGRAM IN
 | THE PACKERS TRIAL
Witness Explains the Mean ing of the Message to
 the Jury

Chicago, February "A code tele- gram showing the average selling price and margins for Armour x Co, the National Packing company, Morris X Co, and Swift & Co, for sales of dress ed beef in Boston for the week ending July 16, 1910, which was received at the Chicago offices of the National Packing company was introduced as evidence at the packers trial today.
 The message wasa addressed to Vice President Patterson, haRd Of the dress ed beef departments Assistant Manager Munnschlxe and President Edward Til- den of the National Packing company. It was the first time in the trial that Edward Tllden, president of tho National Packing company and one of the defendants. had been mentioned as having received the prices and mar gins of competing companies
 The telegram was sent to Chicago over the company's private wire by Manager Perkins, in charge of tho Ma : tional Packing eompanys branch house in Boston.
 Joseph ]. Reisch formerly head Of the shipping department of the Ma tiouai Packing company, identified the telegram, but said he was most cer- tain that the figures were the same as on the paper he introduced before the federal grand jury, which return ed indictments against the packers.
 The telegram read:
 Boston. July 16, 1910. "Patterson, Munnschke Tilden;
 .1152 minus 29. 11.27 minus 90. ll.1l minus 40. 11.17 minus 30.
 PERKINS"
 Reisch interpreted the message 10 the jury and said that the first TOW of figures was the average selling price and the second row was the minus margin which indicated that the beef had been sold that week below the test cost.
 He said the first price was for the sales of Armour & Co.,, the second for the National Packing company. and third for Morris & Co, and the last for Swift and Co.
 Reisch testified that all the time he was connected with the beef depart ment of the company similar telegrams from Boston and New York, giving the selling prices and margins of the packers big four" were received at the offices of the National Packing company in Chicago each week.
 Reiseb was on the stand when court adjourned until tomorrow.

Germany Desires Pledges of NOn-InterventiOn
 From Powers

Picking, February s.-Premier Yuan Shi Kai's troops continue to come into the capital. When 2o.0o0 men have been com centrated here t is stated that the decree announcing the abdication of the Emperor will be published. It is reported here that the viceroy of Hu Kwan, province Of shan Si, has signed an agreement to join the republicans and lead repub- lican army into Picking if this step should be necessary to compel the Emperor's ab- dication.
 A revolutionary force has arrived at Tsilno, which is situated in neutral terri tory near Kia Chow.
 The Germans have protested against this force stopping at Tsimo, declaring that such action infringes upon the pro visions of the treaty of Kia Chow.
 Berlin. February 2-According to au- thoritative views expressed here that the
 moment has arrived in the Chinese situa- ton wien joint agreement by all the interested powers, including Japan and the United States. pedging themselves to take no step in China, except in common, is desirable and even necessary. Rus sa, Japan and the other powers to whom intentions of fishing in the troubled Chi nese waters for their own advantage have been attributed, have promptly denied the insinuations. but 1t IS realized here that the danger of intervention steadily is growing the longer the revolution contin- ues.
 Germany it may be said. does not look Aith favor upon the possibility of separate action, either by an individual power or a group of powers Her objections to such move are self evident. Germany be- liexes that the existence or q pledge by the powers to act only in concert in China might prevent any necessity of active in-
 tervention, especially if the powers gave the necessary weight to their represent r. tions at Peking and Shanghai II has not | been ascertsined whether such an agree ment tts been proposed to the powers. ] The possibility of Germany and tie l United states drawing together on their | oriental policies, in view of the danger of
 general scramble for the outlying depen- i Jencies in the north and the south oi 1 the Chinese empire, has been advanced by some persons familiar with far eastern conditions. but inquiries made today al the German foreign office elicit an answer
 which indicates that this idea has no
 been entertained there.

Cross Examination of Burns Opera tive Before Lorimer Committee to Be Continued Today-His
 Testimony Is Unshaken

Washington, February 2-fhe Senate committee on finance will begin hearings on Tuesday on the House bill revising the metal tariff. The committee so de- dided today. No opposition was made by the democratic members to the repub- lican proposition for hearings. but the work will be expedited as much as pos sble.
 Members of the committee generally expressed the belief that the hearings would be completed within two or three weeks.
 It is not yet known who will be the first wintess, nor whether any one will be present to testify on Tuesday. If no one appears then the committee will take up other work temporarily.
 Senator LaFollette, who was present at today's meeting of the committee, gave no intimation regarding his position on the bill He said he had not had opportunity to study the measure and was unprepared to express an opinion as to it's merits. Even if he should unite with the democratic members in support of the bill the regular republicans on the committee. could outvote the coih- bination, unless the Senate should adopt the Newland resolution providing Tor the addition of one progressive repup- lican to this committee.

Rebel Peace Envoys

Fl Paso, Tex, February 2-Peace en- voys were sent south today ostensibly te confer with federal leaders encamped at Samalayuea, with several hundred troops said to be from the Torreon gar rison, en route 10 Juarez.
 The peace mission departed in response to a message from General Pascual Or ozeo at Chihuahua. in which he urged his friends in Juarez Ito treat with the federals and if possible prevent an at tack"
 Azelando Anays, chief of the Juarez customs guards, and cousin of orozco. was one of the three peace envoys. The exodus from Juarez continued today and the town is almost as deserted as 1t was prior to Maderos attack last May. Mexican federal property, including post office supplies were moved to the Amer ican side and stored in federal buildings.
 Jose Orozco cousin of the general, and few loyal ex-insurrectos. are re- ported to have joined the federal troops at Samalayuca.
 Curious Contrast
 Disciplined American troopers guarding inc north bank of the Rio Grande wit messed a curious contrast to themselves on the Juarez side today
 This was presented when the mutneers ,einstatel their former officers with the provision trat the officers take no acton without permission Of the soldlery The latter granted permission for the re rairing of bridges and traius from the south are expected to arrive tomorrow
 Despite the governments promise to provide alleged back pay due the sol 1iers. the mutineers are not satisfied. They say President Madero must as sure them that he never intended to dismiss General Pascual Orozco. and that the present customs officials, held over from the Diaz regime. must be replaced with heroes of the insurrec- ton last winter
 Street car communication between Juarez and Fl Paso has not been re- stored.

Lorimcr Hearing

Detective A. c. Bailey was cross exam ined today before the Senate Loflihei committee as to how he says he "roped Charles McGowan into admitting ne les tified falsely before the committee Tn say ing he did not hear an alleged converse ton about Lorimer election fund. Balley was on the stand when the committee adjourned until tomorrow.
 Chairman Dillingham; announced that the committee had decided the examina- ton of all the witnesses summoned by the government on the McGowan point must be concluded tomorrow.
 The principal assault was on the all legged admissions of McGowan in the pres enee of Bailey and H. E. Kerr of Detroit at Toronto, when dictagraph was em- ployed. Bailey acknowledged that the stenographer in the adjoining room work ing the telegraph did not get all that was said The instrument failed to work al times, he explained. Bailey declared that although the stenographer never had met McGowan, he could distinguish Me Gowan's voice from Bailey's or Kerr's.
 Plausible Reason
 The attorney demanded of Bailey to give any 'plausibe reason" why he did not try to catch McGowan with the money on his person the day he was alleged to have been paid for ''perjuring' himself. Bailey said he had been directed at that time merely to keep in touch with Mo Gowan.
 On one occasion while in Canada, Bailey said he suggested to his office that his chief, w. ]. Burns. might be able to get corroborating evidence out of MeGowan. He was asked why he did not make this suggestion to Burns when McGowan was in Chicago.
 T would not do that" replied Bailey.
 50 you do not hold young Burns in much aver inquired Attorney Hines.
 No sir"
 Several alleged inconsistencies in the daily notes made by Bailey and his re- ports to his office were pointed out by the attorney.
 Didn't you have a sinister motive in leaving out some things?'' was demanded of Bailey. The witness denied the sug- gestion.
