 CAUSE OF DELAY
GContinued from Page one.1

 Prosecuting Attorney Delaney re quested continuance, and this brought forth a protest on the part of Attorney Reich, who declared that his clients were remaining away from their jobs for the purpose of having their cases heard in the court The prosecutor then declared that he expected to put the cases on this | morning, but owing to the fact that some of the witne esses were not pres 1 ent he would be unable to do so. The | witnesses in question were Burns men who participated in the raids Satur- | day night.
 Attorney Reich insisted on befnG | cases of his clients should be contin- ued after the men had been told to | appear in court this morning. Judge Frederic A. Bartlett remark | ed that there would be no infringe | ment on the rights of any person arrested in the raids, but that the state also had some rights, and for | that reason would continue the case until April 27.
 1 Those arrested in Pianos pIacs were, William Morrisey, Joseph Nor | ris, Frank Lewis, Thomas Jackson, Henry Newman Fred Suspicion, Geo. Ryan and Harry Fitzroy. Marian Wilson, the 17-year-oId l girl who iG a 11poyad n 5a 41a eEo ness for the Burns men, again failed to appear in court this morning. Her ease was continued until Tuesday, owing to the fact that she is wanted l as witness in many cases which have been contfrued until next week Mayor Wilson and Chief Meyers, of the Burns agency, were both in court this morning, but had nothing to say regarding any of the cases.

PACKERSSUBM|T
NEW SALES PLAN
Swift and Armour Withdraw
Old Proposal in Disposal
of Interests.

! Two of the "big five packers of Chi
cago-Swift & Co. and Armour & Co.
today secured permission of Justice
Stafford of the Supreme Court Of the
District Of Columbia to withdraw the
former plan submitted by them for the
sale of their interests in stockyards,
stockyard terminals and stockyard mar
ket newspapers and to substitute new
| plan designed to meet objections OF the
| Department of Justice.
| The government was given until No
vember to consider the new plan and
| to file any objections. Hearing on the
approval of the new plan was set for
November is.
Unable to Reach Agreement.
/ Former Gov. Folk of Missouri, repre-
senting F. H. Prince & Co. of Boston,
| the purchasers, advised the court that
the company had not been able to reach
an agreement with the Cudahy and Nor
rs interests in relation to the option Of
purchase set out in the former plan and
that Prince & Co. would not exercise
these options of purchase. The govern
ment requested the court to direct coun-
sci for these two packing concerns to
submit a new plan by the date Set for
the hearing on the Armour and Swift
plans.
The two outstanding features of the
new plan submitted today are an actual
contract or purchase by F. II. Prince &
Co. and the transfer Of all the stock of
the United Stockyards, Inc, the new
syndicate to be organized by Prince &
Co. received. by the packers to five
trustees to be selected by the court.
This voting trust is to run for twenty
years.
Disposal of Stock.
The Department of Justice announced
that If the new plan were accepted by
the court it would have certain stipula-
tons which it. would seek to have in
corporated in the decree
The department will ask that the
packers be required to dispose of the
stock which they receive in the new
corporation as speedily as possible, and
that producers and shippers be given
the first opportunity to buy. The de-
cree should provide that it in no way
precludes Congress from legislating on
the stockyard proposition, counsel for
the government suggested.

A PATRIOTIC SERVICE

AS Washington's birthday falls
upon Sunday this year, it is fitting
that the church should take cogniz-
ance of it. and honor the memory of
the father of his country; and at the
same time extol the high motive of
patriotism which he so nobly exempli-
field, and which was so splendidly
shown by the gallant officers and by
the boys in khaki and blue of the
United States forces.
With this in view. appropriate ser
vices have been arranged for tomor-
row, Sunday evening, at 7:30 o'clock,
in the Episcopal church. The entire
service will have patriotism as its
keynote. The Boy Scouts have been
invited to attend in body. One of
the high school boys will read the
preamble to the constitution of the
United States. An address upon the
life of Washington will be delivered
by the mayor of the city.
A special feature of the service will
be the awarding of a beautiful diplo-
ma. which was the gift of the French
government and signed by the presi-
dent of France, in recognition and ap-
probation for the great assistance af-
forded France by America in the
great war to Simeon Lagrange Sis
trunk of the u. S. navy.
Immediately following, the service
flag. bearing fifteen blue stars, and
the one gold star for the young man
whose memory is being honored, will
be lowered from its place over the
chancel steps where it has hung for
almost two years. by two young men
