D. U. R. ATTORNEY
UPBRAIDS COURT
Declares Circuit Bench Is Too
Rapid; Judge Orders That
Case Go On

A. b. Hall, one OF the ID. u. r. attor-
neys, clashed with Judge Murphy,
Thursday morning. when orders were
given by the court to impanel jury
for the trial OF ID. u. r. case.
Mr.. Hall protested against going
ahead with the case, on tie ground
that the circuit court was rushing too
fast with the ID. U. r. cases. He
pointed out that there were three
damage suits being heard at the same
time. Wednesday, and that he didn
like another being started right away.
The haste prevented the ID. y. X. from
properly preparing the cases, Mr.. Han
explained.
The Judge stated that the new case
would have TO go on; that the circuit
was now far behind with the trial OF
,he cases on the docket. He then or
dered the attorneys to proceed with
the drawing OF the jury. When the
panel was complete, the Judge decreed
that the case should be heard by
Judge Van Zile.
The sending of the case to Judge
Van Zile, Mr.. Hall told The Times,
was a bit OF revenge on him, as he
took Il that Judge Murphy planned TO
take up another ID. U. r. case himself
az soon as he finished small matter
now engaging his attention.

Recent arrivals OF fat cattle in the
leading markets OF the country have
been larger than the trade required.
and the market has been a very unsat-
isfactory one to the selling contingent.
The consumption OF beef Is compare

practically. the same prices for all
grades OF medium and high-grade
meats that he charged when live
stock was selling from 81 TO 50 per
cwt. higher. The policy referred to
above, would seem TO be very short
sighted one; I'm fact the experience OF
the last Ave years shouN convince
anyone chat II pays for all classes OF
tradesmen TO permit their selling
prices TO fuctuate with the varying
cost OF raw material. The retailer,
who has reduced his selling prices, for
the better cuts OF beef, 90 per cent
during the last 40 days, has followed
the market and Is giving his customer
square deal.
All grades OF common cattle are
selling at the same range OF values
that has ruled the trade during the
winter so far. Reports from the

this department seems 10 foreshadow
a steadier market at prices averaging
much more uniform.
Early last month The Times made
the prediction that before the winter
was over hogs would sell for IS per
cwt. In the Detroit market: this week,
the prediction is made good and the
end Is evidently not yet. The conclu-
sion reached was the ress,h OF investi-
cations which tended 10 show the
probability OF reduced arrivals In the
near future and throughout the re-
rnainder OF the season. AS time goes
on II becomes more and more apparent
that the hog runs OF late winter and
early spring will be much smaller
than usual The end OF the packinp
season is only one month away and
the cellars OF the big firms are stll
empty. The trade was hardly ever
better. for the men who eat the pork
are employed and have the money TO
buy the stun. A year ago, on this
date, the packing house cellars OF the
country were filed 10 overlooking and
the outlook seemed TO indicate twice
as many hogs as will be received this
season. The question Is: Where are
the hogs 10 come from with which TO
satisfy the current fresh meat demand
and 20 replenish the cured meat
stocks OF the country? II seems now
quite likely that hogs will go az least
81 per cwt higher before the summit
OF the bulge Is passed.

81 VERY MUCH OPPOSE
OPERATION" HE SAYS
Transmits to Congress Report
Of Alaskan Railway
Commission

WASHINGTON. Feb 6.-Recom-
Intending government construction OF
1S2 miles OF railroad, opening the vast
Behring and Matanuska coal fields OF
Alaska, al cost OF $35,000,000, Pres
ident Taft today, in a special mes
sage TO congress, transmitted the re-
port OF the Alaskan railway commits
sion Private operation OF the gov
efnment's proposed railroads under
lease the president said he believed
was the proper solution OF the diff
ifculties presented In Alaska.
Two independent railway systems
lone connecting the Yukon river val
ley and the TananR river, q tributary
OF the Yukon, with tidewater, and the
other devoted TO the development ind
needs OF the Kuskokwim and Susitna
Irlyers-are recommended by the COM
mission.
Quoting the commission, the presi-
dent said
The best available route for the
first railway system Is that which
leads from Cordova by way of Chitina
10 Fairbanks, and the best available
route for the season is that which

let TO the Iditarod. The first should
be connected with the Behring coal
field and the second with the Matan-
uska coal fields.
"rhe necessary Inference from the
entire report" the president contin-
ned. lis that In the judgment OF the
commission its recommendation can
certainly be carried ont only II the
government builds or guarantees the
CONSTRUCTION cost OF the railroads
recommended.
''lf the government is to guarantee
the principal and interest OF the con.
struction bonds, II seems clear that
It should own the roads, the cost OF
which 1t really pays. This Is true,
whether the government itself should
operate the roads or should provide
for their operation by lease or oper-
ating agreement. j am very much op-
posed to government operation, but
4 believe that government ownership
with private operation, under lease
Is the proper solution OF the difficul
ties here presented"

act must occur after the conspiracy
has been formed.
The government completed the ex-
animation OF Edwin l.. Wayman, its
chief witness, Thursday afternoon,
and the defense deferred its cross
examination to permit the govern
ment TO examine three other wit
nesses who were anxious TO go home.
III. l.. Bowser, head OF the Atlas
Supply Co. jobbers in plumbers sup
plies In Muskogee, Okla, told how he
had received copies of the jobbers'
agreement from the Union Sanitary
Manufacturing Co., the Standard San
itary Manufacturing Co., and the NC
Crum-Howell Co., all of which he re-
turned unsigned, and that he was
thereafter unable to obtain goods
from any OF these concerns. He de-
clared that there had been competi-
ton among these firms and among
the jobbefs in his district, but that
competition ceased except such as he
offered after June 6. when the license
agreement went into effect.
John G. Reed, foundry superinten-
dent. and one Of the directors OF the
Standard Sanitary Manufacturing
Co., testified that Francis j. Torrance
was IN charge of the sales depart
ment for the company. He also stated
that the company owned several job
bling houses.
Edwin r. Agnew, proprietor OF the
Colonial hotel. in Mt. Clemens, was
called to testify that the men charged
IN the indictment are those who met
In his hotel for the session OF the
price committee In April, 1910, but
the defense stated that the identity
and the fact that they were In Mt.
Clemens would be admitted.
There Is some talk of calling Atty
Gen. Wickersham as witness for the
defense. and II he is not called his
special assistant, Edwin p. Grosvenor,
who.is handling the case for the gov.
eminent, may be put on the stand to
testify The defense claims that the
license agreement plan was submit
ted to the department Of justice for
approval, and that It was passed as
lawful.
