ARMOUR IS FIRST IN COURT.
Morris Declares Charges Are Abso
lutely Unfounded Swift and Con
nors Hurrying Home From Eu
rope Two More Indicted.
Chicago, Sept. 14. Personal bonds
aggregating $000,000 were agreed oil
when Judge I.-iudls opened court as
security for tlm appearance of ten
meat packers who were Indicted on
charges of conspiracy In restraint of
trade.
Fixing the amount of tho bonds and
agreement that the defendants may
tile them with the clerl; of the United
States district court came after .lame
II. Wllfcerson. special assistant district
attorney, had asked tho'court to hsuc
bench warrants for the Immediate nr
rest of tho Indicted men.
Each man Is the subject of three In
illctments, and the bond will be $1u.ih
under each one. Attorneys for Ui-.
defendants declared It was of slight
moment whether the $10,000 bond fur
each man covered all three or one In
dlctment, considering the few hundred
thousand dollars' difference of little
weight compared with the other finan
cial rnlues Involved In the case.
J. Ogden Armour arrived at the of
lice of the clerk of tho court and gave
bond. lie was the first to appear.
Arthur Meeker, with Alfred It.
Urlon, general counsel for Armour &
Co., reached the clerk's quarters a lit
tle later. George B. Itobblns and Rob
ert J. Dunham signed bonds for $.'S0.
000 for Mr. Meeker and Mr. Armour
Edward Morris and his counsel arrived
at tho same hour. The other packer.
Indicted who are In the city appeared
later In the afternoon.
Edward Morris, one of tho Indicted
packers, when he appeared to give
bond, said, "Tho charges against us
alleged in tho indictments aro abso
lutely unfounded." IIo would add
nothing to tho statement
Louis F. Swift and Thomas J. Con
nors are on their way homo from Eu
rope to give bonds.
It is expected that two more meat
packers will bo Indicted shortly by the
federal grand Jury. Tho government
announced Its Intent to securo early
trial of all.
The additional Indictments, It Is In
timated, may not como until all the
ten men already named havo given
bond.
There are threo Indictments against
each, all based upon tho Sherman anti
trust law. Tho first Indictment charges
that the defendants during tho three
years last past havo engaged in a com
bination In restraint of interstate trade
In fresh meats.
The second Indictment is practically
the same as tho first, except that It
charges the defendants with engaging
In a conspiracy Instead of In a com
bination In restraint of trade.
Tho third Indictment charges that
the defendants havo monopolized the
trade in fresh meats by unlawful
means.

time ngo that Anthony Grazladel, one
of the pope's personal attendants, was

claim that the murder of tho strike
breaker Donge, who was kicked to
death in n street brawl on Saturday.

Women Prisoners In Japan.
Tho 6ells In every Japanese prison
aro practically sleeping dormitories, as
tho prisoners arc engaged In tho work
sheds all day or attending lectures and
lessons In educational subjects, de
portment nnd morality. Tho small Jap
aneso woman prisoner Is even taught
how to servo tea properly, bocauso the
Japaneso havo grasped tho fundamen
tal truth that whatovcr raises n wom
an's self respect helps to eliminate bad
habits lu a word, to roform her. The
keen zest of tho prisoners in Japan
contrasts with tho hopeless, hunted
look of our women prisoners In Eng
land. In Japan tho women prisoners
are learning, learning, learning all the
time. They nro given prizes and deco
rative records for excellence. They
aro being encouraged instead of re
pressed. Everything is doae to Instill
a real desire for permanont reform.

Vice President Daly Says They Do So
Beoause Roads Want More Money.
Property Value Not Consid
ered, He Testifies.
NoV Vork, Sept. 11. Charles F.
Daly, vice president of the Now Yor
Central linos, In charge of trafile, was
on tho witness stand for some time at
the freight rate hearing before Exam
luers Rrown and Hillary of tho Inter
state commerce commission In the As
tor gallery of tho Waldorf-Astoria.
Under cross examination by tho law
yers for the various organizations rf
shippers Mr. Daly insisted that the of
ficlals of the New York Central had
nothing but their own Judgment to
rely on when they decided that tin
class freight rates would stand n gen
eral advance.
He said that they did not require fig
ures to back up their Judgment. H"
ndded frankly that tho ultimate con
sumor Is the one who will have t
bear tho burden of tho Increased rates
Mr. Daly had frequent tilts with tin
lawyers and had n wordy set-to wit?
Frank I.yon, counsel for tho conimls
slou, when Mr. Lyon was .reading from
a statement of the Now York Central''-
expenso account for the first seven
montlis of 1010, Avhlch had been pre
pared hurriedly for uso at tho hearing,
but which Mr. Daly said ho hadn't
seen yet
When Mr. Lyon read tho figures foi
last March, showing that without the
Increase In wages tho road's operating
expenses had Increased 1,570,000 over
.March, 1000, Mr. Daly asked tho law
yer to road tho figures for tho other
months. Mr. Lyon replied that he
would road what ho pleased and was
responsible to no one but the commis
sion. Mr. Lyon did read tho figures later,
showing that tho lncroaso for tho other
months over last year wns: January.
$430,000; February, $400,000; April.
$000,000; May, $S00,000; June, $1,200.
000 and July, $000,000. Mr. Daly said
that ho was away in March nnd could
not explain tho enormous increaso over
tho other months, especially slnco tho
wnge Increaso didn't go Into effect
until April 1.
Tho cross examination of Mr. Daly
was tegun by Francis B. James of
Cincinnati, who represents tho Nation
al Industrial Traffic league of St.
Louis, with 20,000 members, which was
formed for the express purpose of
fighting tho increase in rates. Mrv
James wanted to know how tho rail
roads arrived at their decision as to
the proper advanco to bo mado and
Mr. Daly said:
"Wo first decided that wo needed
money, and then wo went about the
matter of adjusting rates so ns to pro
vide that money. I want to say that
wo do not pretend that tho rates which
we propose to put Into effect with the
approval of tho commission tiro per
fect or nnywhero near perfect."

IMPORTERS EAGER TO BRIBE.
Ex-Weigher Says They Forced Money
on Customs Officials.
New York, Sept. 14. The graft dis
closures lu tho customs trial in the
United States circuit court took a new
turn when James P. nyland, a govern
ment witness, who was an assistant
customs weigher from October, 1801.
to September, 1000, told how the
wives, cousins and aunts of Importers
and sometimes tho Importers them
selves Invaded tho docks nnd followed
the weighers about soliciting them to
nccept money for underwelghlng.
This Information was volunteered by
Hjiand under cross examination by
Henry F. Cochrauo of counsel for the
defense of George E. Bedell, Charles
D. Drew and C. II. Wardoll, on trial
for fraud. Women wero seen frequent
ly on tho docks, nyland said, and they
were tho most Insistent In corrupting
tho weighers.
PRIMARIES IN NEW YORK.
Both Republican Factions Are Satis
fied With the Outcome.
New York, Sept 14. In the few con
tested primaries among tho Itepubllc
ans lu Greater New York the only con
test of note wns In the Fifteenth dis
trict of Manhattan, niid there Assem
blyman Bennett won a distinct vie
torj". Ho Is a Ilughes-Koosovelt man
nnd on the Issue of direct nominations
defeated tho Barnes-Woodruff crowd.
Chairman Grlscom claimed a big ma
Jorlty of delegates for Colonel Roose
velt us against James S. Sherman.
Tim Woodruff Insisted that the majori
ty would be the other way. There
was no direct lssuo on the question
except In tho Fifteenth, nnd there
Roosevelt won. It Is believed half the
Brooklyn delegates will bo against
Woodruff and therefore ngalust Sher
man.

Election of Democratic United Ststes
Senator to Succeed Engene Hale
Insured on Joint Ballot Ascher
C. Hinds Wins Out.
Portlnnd, Me., Sept 11. The Demo
crats of Maine, In addition to electing
the governor and two congressmen,
havo landed in otllco twenty-one state
senators and eighty-four representa
tives In tho lower house, which gives
them control of tho legislature and the
choosing of Hale's successor In the
United States senate. Tho man who
succeeds Hale will be tho first Demo
crat from Maine to sit In the United
States senate slnco 1.SC0.
Returns received give tho Democrats
tontrol of the Maine senate, with twenty-one
out of the thirty-one seatsT The
Democrats also have elected eighty
four representatives out of a total
membership of mi. Tho Republicans
have elected sixty-three representative
In the districts thus far complete.
Only four of the representative dis
tricts aro missing, so that tho Repub
licans, even If they get these, cannot
make a better showing than 07.
The Democrats of Maine are not less
nstounded than tho Republicans over
their great victory In tho elections. In
which the Democrats carried the rock
ribbed Republican state for tho first
time In thirty years. With only n few
scattering backwoods towns to bo
heard from, revised returns give Colo
nel Fred W. Plnisted, Democrat, mny
or of Augusta, 7.1.S10 votes for gov
ernor, and Governor Bert M. Fcrnnld
of Poland, Republican, 01.720. Plaist
ed's mnjorlty over Fcrnnld Is 0,123.
Revised returns show the election of
Asher C. Hinds, Republican, In the
First district by 734, of Daniel J. Mc
Gllllcuddy, Democrat, In the Second,
by 8,000; of Samuel W. Gould, Demo
crat. In the Third, by 2,200, and of
Frank E. Guernsey, Republican, In the
Fourth, by 300.
The Democratic leaders dispute the
figures In the First and Fourth dis
tricts nnd Insist that all four of their
candidates were successful. Recounts
are likely In both districts.
The capture of the legislature by the
Democrats probably will mean the re
submission to tho people of tho vexed
prohibitory law and a chance for locul
option In the sale of Intoxicating liq
uors. The Sturgls act, which has
proved so obnoxious to many and was
denounced In the Democratic party
platform, can bo repealed. Certainly
tho act can be made inoperative by
Plalsted withdrawing the present com
mission and neglecting to appoint their
successors.
Tho next legislature will havo full
charge of redisricting the Btate.
Control of the legislature Is of more
Importance in Maine than In some of
tho other states, because under the
constitution n number of tho highest
state olllces are appointed by that
body. The legislature elected shortly
after convening In January will elect
the state treasurer, attorney general,
secretary of state and commissioner of
agriculture.
Among the appointments which rest
with tho new governor are a Judge of
the Kennebec superior court, a state
commissioner of industrial and labor
statistics, u state commissioner of
hlghwnys and n warden of tho statr
prison.
Ml these offices are now filled by Ite-
publlenns. The Democratic overturn
extends even to minor state olllces.
The figures show that tho Demo
crats elected thirteen of the sixteen
high sheriffs In the state. Republicans
elected their shrievalty candidates lu
Aroostook, Franklin nnd Washington
counties. In five of the counties Dem
ocratic sheriffs wero re-elected, In
eight other counties the Democrats
gained the office.
Beveridge Says Maine's Progressive.
Indianapolis, Ind Sept. 4. Senator
Beveridge read the election returns
from Maine and then said: "Tho result
In Maine was neither Democratic unr
Republican; It wns nonpartisan. 1 am
familiar with tho people of Maine be
cause I have spent several summer
there. They are conservatives, well In
formed, determined. Tho old time pol
iticians absolutely refused to admit
tho tremendous progress, mental and
moral, among tho peoplo and tho com
plete abandonment by the peoplo of the
old time partisan method."
