Assault On The Commerce
 Court Continues Undbdted

Washington. January 12.--After AS hours of combined assault before the United States supreme court by attor- neys for the railroads, the interstate commerce commission and the depart ment of justice, on the Jurisdiction of tie new commerce court to review cases where the commission enters no affirm ative orders, the leaders in the fight to- day expressed confidence of victory.
 The attack of yesterday was re- newed today. The rule in the "uni roads charge demurrage on private cars was the main question at issue
 A soap manufacturing concern in Ohio asked the interstate commerce commission to annul the rule. The com- mission refused relief holding the rule was designed to prevent railroads from discriminating between shippers who owned private cars and those who did not. The soap company asked the com from enforcing the rule, on the theory that the rule was unlawful, because 1t prevented the private car owner from doing as he pleased with his own prop erty. Tho court decided 1t had juris- diction, but that the commission had decided the case correctly.
 Both the shippers and tho railroads were anxious to overlook the point of the commerce courts jurisdiction to get a decision on the merits, but Chief Justice White manifested an interest in how the shipper could get stand ing In the commerce court on mere negative order by the commission as

Washington, January 12.-The move ment for a fitting celebration in 1913 of the fiftieth anniversary of the bat tie of Gettysburg took definite form today when the Pennsylvania commits sion, having the matter in charge, ap- peared before the joint congressional committee and made public it's plans.
 It is proposed to have the celebration extended over the first four days of July and the most important feature will be the laying of the scornerstone of great peace monument to be erect ed by the nation at the entrance of the battlefield.
 A bill will be introduced in Congress appropriating s5O0,0oO for this purpose and the President of the United States will be invited to preside at the cere- mony.
 Veterans from the Civil war are ex- pected to attenV from all over the coun- try, south as well as north, at the ex- pense of the several states, and three states have already taken action with this end in view.
 To prepare for the policing of the battlefield during the celebration and the care and feeding of the veterans, Congress will be asked to provide for the attendance of sufficient number of

GOVERNMENT WINS
 IMPORTANT POINT Are Permitted to Examine Books of Morris & Co.
 Outside of Court

Chicago, January 12.-An important point was won by the government to- day in the prosecution of the 10 Chicago packers charged with criminal violation of the Sherman law when Federal Judge Carpenter granted District Attorney Will kerson and an expert accountants apermis- sion to examine the books of Morris & Co. outside the sessions of court
 The books are the general journals and ledgers for the period between 1905 and 1910, and were produced in court by the chief accountant of the company. The government wants to read into the record numerous entries in support of it's con tention that the allowances made for by products are inadequate. and are part, of the general operating plan Of the alleged combination.
 Counsel for the defense protested against the ruling of the court and in sisted that the object of the government was to search for evidence.
 They are going on fishing expedI- ton for evidence said Attorney Buck ingham, representing the Swift x Go. group of defendants. If they want cer- tain items let the witnesses they have called point them out and have them put in evidence. These books contain conf dential information and their examination by the government should be limited to the purpose of this inquiry.
 "The books are the property of the cor pcration, and not of the individual de- fendants, and I believe the government should be permitted to examine them," said Judge Carpenter in ruling on the question. "The government will limits it's investigation to the subject of fresh meats and the disposition of the by-prod- ucts.''
 H. A. Timmins chief accountant for Morris & Co.,, was on the stand when court adjourned.
 Details of the bookkeeping methods em- ployed in the fresh meat business were given today in the trial of the Chicago packers.
 The general day books of Morris X Co. from 1907 to 1910 were taken into court.
 Items showing allowances credited for bi-products were read to the jury in an effort to prove the governments conten- tion that the allowances were inadequate. The government attempted to show by the Intricate method of auditing employed that the system Of the different packers were practically uniform.
 Several witnesses who have been exam ined stated that they were unable to recollect details of the allowances al lowed for products which they had pre- viously testified to before federal grand jury They declared that many of the books and records which the government desires to use in the present case were produced before the federal grand jury in rebating investigation against the packers in 1909 They said these had dis appeared

distinguished from an affirmative or der directing something to be done.
 The chief justice asked if Congress had not said to the commission that it must control the railroads and so far as anybody came to it with a complaint or even on it's own account, it might annul any order the railroads might make, and if the commission made an order. Congress would give to tue courts power to enforce fl, provided the commission acted within It's pow CTS. The justice asked for a single case that held otherwise
 T failed 10 find any last night he added.
 George H. Warrington. attorney for tho shipper, was unable to cite satisfactory case but contcnded that the interstate commerce commission was not the final arbitrator of any shippers constitutional rights He declared that the shipper might have gone before some justice Of the peace and have a decision as to his con stitutional rights. but he considers the commerce court was the proper tribunal to pass on such subjects.
 Assistant Attorney General Denison pre- sented a brief attacking the commerce. courts jurisdiction. He asserted that if the commerce. courts position was suse tained that tribunal would have the right to review negative orders of the conn mission. refusing the railroads the right to advance rates.
 Solicitor Farrell of tho commission argued that the fact that everybody was objectlng to the commission was proof that it was impartial. He said he be- lleved the supreme court understood the rate situation, and pleaded that there might be only one rate making body in the government.
 Every member of the court piled tho attorneys with questions and problems.

Pride of the State Burned to Ground Late Yes
 terday Afternoon
BURNING RAPIDLY
 WHEN DISCOVERED
Practically Nothing Saved-Origin of Fire Unknown-Fire Very Spec tacular and Seen for Miles.
 All Albertville in Grief

Albertville. January 12.-(Speeial.)- The Seventh District Agricultural school was burned to the ground here tonight, and with the exception of the cyclone of 1908, is the worst calamity that has ever befallen Albertville. The fire was first discovered about 6:15 o'clock, the blaze coming out at the west side of the building. and before help arrived 1t was in a mass of flames.
 No one seems to know the origin of the fire. Different theories arc being advanced one that it caught from coals dropping on the floor, another from defective flne, and many be- lieve it was caused from defective cleo tric wiring.
 The school was established by the legislature in 1892, and was the pride of the Seventh district as well as the entire state.
 Practically nothing was saved, witt the exception of President Miller's desk the school records and number of books from the library. All the furniture. two pianos and all the books of the different teachers were consumed by the flames. The building was an immense wood en structure, and the fire was a most spectacular one, being seen for miles around. President Miller stated to- night that the building. which cost $15000, was insured for 5000. It is understood the attorney general will be asked to permit the $1O,0O0 recently appropriated for new dormltory be used in erecting the new building.
 All Albertville is in grief over the loss of the school. This years attend ance broke all previous records, nearly 4o0 pupils being enrolled for the session.
 It is considered fortunate that the building did not burn while the pupils were in it. for it would have created a panic among them President Miller Is grief stricken, but announced late to- night that the school would open in temporary quarters Monday The citi- zens and pupils bo5h arc around him and promise 10 give him their hearty support. While no arrangements have yet been perfected, it is likely that the public school building will be used for the agricultural school and the public school will go to the courthouse, Me Naron's hall and other buildings in the city.

SENATOR LOR|MER CONTINUES STORY
 {
 le Explains Methods Which Caused 1S6 Legislators to Vote for Him

Washington, January 12.-Senator Dori- mer continuing his testimony today be- fore the Senate Investigating committee undertook to explain the methods which caused 1se members of the Illinois legisla- ture to cast their ballots for him. The aggregate of his recital was long story of boyhood friendships growing to power ful influence in party councils and po- litical alliances which had their inception with the froliclSing of children at play in the streets of Chicago
 i've known that man all my life, prob ably since was 10 years old, and he had gone through some hard knocks himself and felt as if he wanted to help some one else ,who had been through it, too,' was one of the answers he gave.
 Some of his explanations were homely stories of his political life 30 years ago before he became a national figure.
 'fHow did Nanny Abrahams come to vote for you?' was asked. Abrahams is democrat and was called the bell wether because he lead the voting on the roll call.
 "Why, many years ago he was just be-
  in Chicago" responded the senator, and many of them coming as immigrants there tried to make a living peddling on the streets. The license fee was s5, 8 lot of money for a poor man in a strange country, and he used to come to niy house at night and ask me to help them. So l used to get permits for them to peddle until they made money enough to get out license. That was the start of our friend ship.
 How did Jandus come to vote for your Jandus was another democrat.
 T had done him many little favors. l remember having got d job or so for a poor friend of his. I suppose in my po- litical life have got jobs for Gooo or 5000 men, but I don't remember all those lit- tie things.''
 In explaining the votes of others often he would say: ''He lived in my neiehbor- hood and sometimes I may have done an uninportant favor for him." or We worked together in politics for % years ana our personal friendship was stronger than any party tie.''
 The votes of other men, Mir. Lorimer explained by saying that they were op- posed to flopklHSs were ANXIOUS to break the deadlock and get home, had received favorable recommendation of Lorimer from constituents, or were anxious to give him some substantial reward for his work ill behalf of the proposed lakes to-tle-gulf' waterway.
 Lorimer had got about half way through the list of the legislators who voted for him when an adjournment was taken un- til Monday morning.
 r1er in he day the senator had ma da A dramatic denial of any knowledge of corruption In connection with his cleo tion and in an equally dramatic way charged that Governor Deneen and the Chicago Tribune were forwarding d con spiracy to drive him from the Senate.
