BIC PACKERS
 MUST GIVE UP

Washington, Jan. 4:-Government objections to stoclyard holdings d. vorcemeut plans submitted by the big packers under the recent agreed de- cree were sustained today by Justice Stafford in the District Supreme Court. Any acceptable plan must provide for early and complete di- Testment of all obnoxious holdings, the court held.
 Justice Stafford also sustained the governments contention that the de- 1ree of divorcement may be made ef- fective by receivership and sale. Un- less the defendants are able to pre- sent a suitable plan for which time extensions were allowed, the court served notice that such action would be taken.
 If any delay Is to be allowed in the actual Investment under any new plan, the court said, 1t must provide ffor complete control by the court ir sthe meantime, SO that thos.- ''rt might Terminate 1t at any time 1T 1t should Si etermine the packers were not pro- gceeding with pronlptness and vigor.
 An extension of six months was granted in the case of the Crescent City Stock Yards owing to the pecu- liar circu 1stances existing there.
 The other defendants were allowed extensions to be agreed on.

Attorney Delaney has made an enviabie record during his occupancy of the proseeuteFship, and has been appointed to this important office a number of times. Attorney Merritt served as a lieutenant commander in the navy during the war and since his return has been liquor prosecuting agent. He is a popular chap and his achievements have won him ,reeagni- tien.
 The appointments for prosecuting attorney and clerk of the court are sin the hands of the judge who will be appointed. Much conjecture has been aroused but the general idea seems to be that Attorney Richard Swain and Attorney E. Earle Gariick are slated for these positions,
 Attorney Abe Geduidig is another aspirant for place at City court and it is rumcced that his desires in this direction are to be gratitIed
 Another seemingly we'll authentieat- ed rumor is to the effect that At. torney Theodore Steiber will not be re-appointed as clerk of the City court,

CANADIAN SCHOONER WON
 FIsHERMEN's TROPHY

Haiifax, Oct. 2i.-Canada, represent ed by the Lunenburg schooner Bluenose. won the international fshermen's race trophy of this port today, defeating the Gloucesternan Elsie handily in the sec onS and deciding race of the champion ship series. BluenoSe won the first raca Saturday.
 Bot rases were sailed over a forty mile course and the United States craft took the lead on both occasions. Then
 she was overhauled and passed by the
 heavier Canadian vessel and defeated de- cisively.
 On Saturday the Elsie lost her top sail in a hard blow but her skipper, Captain
 Marty Welch, admitted the mishap had little effect on the result. She undoubt- edly would have lost had her rigging re- l nnained intact, he said. The Bluenose came over the finish line today, nine minutes and 31 seconds ahead of the Elsie, proving just as much a success today in light weather as she
 did on Saturday when heavy winds pre- vailed
 The EIsie crossed the starting line to- day eight lengthe ahead of the Blue nose and held the lead in the race Of
 the first three Iegs'of the course, a total of slightly more than 27 miles. The Bluenose was close at Elsie'S heels all | this way, however. and at the "outer I blower the fourth mark of the course, she fairly jumped at the Elsie. brush ed the buoy and few seconds later was
 seen to have manoeuvred to the weath- CT position.
 At the finish. the Canadian schooner ! mile in the lead and everything draw | Ing, crossed at 2:21:41, while steamers
 whistled greeting. drowning the shouts l of thousands that lined the shore. E,sie's crossing at 2:3i:12, received similar
 welcome. She had sailed Q plucky race and proved herself glorious in defeat. 1 ''Ths Bluenose won because she wa' | the fastest boat" said Captain Angu:
