PACKERS FACE TRIAL NOV, 14
EEF BARONS SURPRISED IN IS.
SUE OF SUBPOENAS.
fwenty-fivo Witnesses Are to Be
Summoned Indicted Men Plan
Vigorous Defense.
Chicago. The trial of the ten
meat packers of Chicago Indicted
on the charge of violating the Sher
man anti-trust law, will begin Novem
ber 14. This was rr.aJe known when
deputy United States marshals were
banded twenty-five subpoenas with In
structions to serve them upon those
witnesses who testified before the fed
eral grand Jury that brought In the
true bills against the beef barons.
The news came as a distinct sur
prise to the lawyers for the defense.
All the subpoenas are returnable on
Not. 14.
It was reported that additional In
dictments will be returned when the
jury resumes its sessions next Mon
day. Messrs. J. Ogden Armour, the three
Swifts, Edward Morris, Edward Til-
den and the others under indictment
as Individuals, have made all of their
plans for a vigorous defense and
their lawyers say they are ready for
the fray at any tl..ie. Several con
sultations have been held and the
counsel for the defendants say they
can see nothing but an acquittal.
It was rumored In the federal build
ing that the government lawyers, two
of whom. Pagln and Wllkerson. are
here from the attorney general's de
partment In Washington, are drawing
the additional Indictments which It
s believed will be voted and signed
on Monday.
Unusual secrecy has been a feature
of the Investigation thus far and
members of the staff have received
special Instructions not to discuss
present grand Jury work upon pain
of dismissal.
Secrecy marked the Issuance of the
Bubpoenas. Many of the govern'
ment's witnesses will be called from
out of town.
CRAZED OVER CRIPPEN LOVE
Woman Testifies That Doctor's Com
panion Confessed Fears Sha
Might Not Marry Him.
London. What Ethel Clara Leneve
suffered as, half mad with jealousy,
she Impatiently waited the fulfillment
of Dr. Hawley H. Crlppen's promise
to make her his wife, was revealed
Monday at the Inquest into the death
of Crlppen's wife, Belle Elmore, with
the munler of whom the .doctor -nd
his typist are jointly charged.
In her distress Miss Leneve con
fided in her landlady, Mrs. Jackson.
Mrs. Jackson said that the accused
girl gave tm her room March 12, ex
pecting thai she was leaving to mar
ry Doctor Crlppen.
Until the first week In February
Miss Leneve slept regularly at Mrs.
Jackson's. After that she stopped at
the house only occasionally. She said
that ehe passed the other nights at
the homes of friends. Once, early In
February, Miss Leneve mentioned bav
Ing been at the Hilldron-Crescent
homo of the Crlppens to help the
doctor search for a bank book which
showed an account of $1,000. A dla
mond tiara and rings had been found
In the house and the doctor raised
$S50 on them.
About the middle of February, the
witness said, Miss Leneve appeared
in a "terrfying state of agitation.
Her eyes seemed starting out of her
head. The landlady Insisted on an ex
planation.
"Would you be surprised If I told
you that It was the doctor and Mls
Elmore?" the witness quoted Mlsl
l.eneve as saying. "He was the cause
of my trouble when you first knew
me. She Is his wife, and when I set
them go away together It makes me
realize my position as to what she It
and what I am."
"What is the use of you worrying
about another woman's husband?"
Mrs. Jackson had asked.
Miss Leneve answered: "Miss El
more has been threatening to go awaj
with another man. Doctor Crlppen
has been waiting for her to do so,
.vhen lie would divorce her."

SHOOTS RAPIDS LIKE A FURY
Captain Klaus Larsen Makes a
Dar-
Ing and Successful Trip In
Motor Boat.
Niagara Falls, N. Y. Capt. Klaus
Larsen Sunday in his motor boat Fer
ro made a successful trip through the
whirlpool rapids of Niagara.
Because the engine was put out of
order In the vicinity of the whirlpool
be did not go clear to Lew Is ton in the
boat which, after leaving the pool,
drifted Into Dead Man's eddy near Ni
agara university, where It was swung
to shore.
Starting at five o'clock. It took Lar
son five minutes to reach the railway
bridges and the next minute his boat,
the Ferro, had ridden the first wave.
Then came a frightful tumult of strike
after strike. Never before had a aio
tor boat been in such a sea, but It
was clear that Larsen was In control
as the boat responded nicely to the
helm. He shot through the rapids and
Into the pool like a fury and was soon
being rushed across the great river
pocket, having failed to make the out
let as he expected. He swung to the
Canadian side and Into the driftwood.
But from this he hurried away under
power. He drove his boat away access
to the New York side and swung out
of the outlet.
It was about this time that the en
gine went wrong and he drifted Into
an eddy near Niagara university be
low the Devil's hole. As the Ferro
swung toward shore It seemed as
though It would be beaten on the
rocks, but people on shore prevented
this and helped larsen land.

Taft administration. He did not In
dorpe the administration as a whole.
What he did have to say, however,
placed him on record for the first

TORY OF STATE.
FIGURES TO PROVE THE SHE
Work ef Gathering Corn Statistics
Will Not Begin till Soma Tlma
In October.
The banner oats cron of Nebras
ka's history was harvested this year,"
said Deputy Labor Commissioner
Maupln. "From 2,543,858 acres we
have realized 71.52.357 bushels of
oats, beatlna the 1909 cron h 11..
778,876 bushels. The 1910 aceage
exceeded the acre ape of 1909 b 184,-
460.
About the first of July we began
hearing disheartening reports about
the wheat crop, and Immediately this
department began a systematic inves
tigation. The results led the depart
ment to estimate that tho wheat yield
would exceed 40,000,000 butdicls, de
spite the prediction of disaster that
were being circulated. A little later
the department Increased this esti
mate about 3,000.000 bushels. The
yield of winter wheat amounts to 40,-
367.317 bushels, and of spring wheat
4,535,856. a total of 5,410.427 bushels.
The 1910 ucreage of both spring and
winter wheat exceeded the 1909 acre
age by 167,827 acres. The average
yield of winter wheat was 17.6 bush'
els per acre. While this may appear
a large average yield to many, the
correctness of the estimate Is borne
out by upwards of 900 reports from
men of many years' experience in
crop estimating and reporting.
"NebrnsUa does not put a very
larne acreage in either rye or barley,
but the yield is enough to warrant a
larger cultivation of these grains.
This year from 71,5.19 acres Nebraska
will thresh 750,543 buslils of rye,
and from 115,957 acres will thresh
2.306,2.18 bushels of barley.
"The most satisfactory reports
come of the quality of the small
grain crop, especially oats. Not only
Is the onts crop the best In the state's
history, but the quality Is the best.
"The work of gathering corn statis
tics will not begin until October 1,
but 'the department's correspondents
are writing In letters every day that
are filled with the- most encouraging
repbn 9. ' Si r wt X8uV' tfce corn -was
half killed; a month ago there wasn't
any corn crop., By the middle of
August the reports from the corn
fields were 'enough -to make a man's
face rtow so long that it wouldymeas-
ure alongside a pump handle. Then
things began changing, and today we
are getting the niOFt optimistic re
ports. There never was a season
prior to this that better exhibited the
recuperative powers of Nebraska
soil."

the committee on expenditures in the
department of Justice, of which Sen
ator Norrls Brown is 'chairman, was
In '.'ncoln straightening out heirships
to land in the Winnebago reserva
tion. Owing to the lax manner In
which Indian lands have been
handled the matter of finding the
present owners Is something of a
task. As fast as a complete list of
heirs to any piece of land Is complet
ed, it Is forwarded to Washington,
whence, on approval, will issue or
ders for the final disposition of the
property through division among tbo
heirs or through sale and the division
of the proceeds.

THE STATE'S WARDS.
Mora Liberality Wanted in Appro
priations.
State Treasurer Brian believes the
next legislature should be liberal In
Its appropriations for the mainten
ance of state Institutions, to the end
that the unfortunates of the state
may be cared for In a humane man
ner. At the Insane asylum at Lincoln
and at Hastings, Mr. Brian says there
should be an additional building con
structed, to care for the patients. The
new building at Hastings, which it
was thought would take care of the
Increased number of Insane has not
proven adequate, while at the Lincoln
Institution there la need, not only for
more room for the patients, but for
the attendants aa well.
"At the Lincoln asylum," said Mr.
Brian, "the attendants are not housed
as they should be. They sleep In
rooms ofT from the "wards, where the
patients are kept and It stands to
reason they can get very little rest.
At Hastings there Is a separate cot
tage for the attendants, where they
can live. The legislature should ap
propriate enough money to build a
cottage for the attendants. The room
that they now take up in the main
building could well be tised for the
patients.
"There should also be a separate
building for the treatment of inebri
ates. These people should not be
compelled to live along with the In
sane people.
It Is very probable the normal
schools may need new buildings, but
there is no question but what the
capacity of the asylums should be in
creased, for the state certainly
snould look after Us unfortunates and
look after them right."
Court Martial for Guards.
The military board of the national
guara met ana aeciueu to issue an
oruer calling a court-martial to try
the members of the guard who failed

Adjutant General Hartigan has on
file charges against twenty young
men who disobeyed the orders to at
tena tne encampment ana it is ex
pected that commanders of com
panies will report more.
This is the first time that a court
martial for; this purpose has ever
been called in the state, and for sev
eral days the adjutant general hes
itated about taking the action be
cause of the cost. He decided with
the other members of the military
board. Colonel Eberly and Colonel
Mack, that the best Interests of the
guard could be .served-by. such a pro
ceeding. The court will consist of
seven members .detailed from the
guard and tho judge advocate general
will also be appointed for this occa
sion. Adjutant General Hartigan will
not be a member of the court, but
will prefer all the charges. Some of
the caRes, he said, are very aggravat
ing. Choslng Rhodes Scholars.

Lanesboro. This will probably be the
nly chango In the delegation to con

of defeat of C. F. Stevens In the
Fourth district by Hugh Halbert
The fight on Tawney has been the
warmest In the state. Anderson was
brought out by the progressive league
and few thought he bad any show.
But he made a better campaign than
anticipated and unless later , returns
are different, he wins by a small mar
gin. The winner will be opposed by
H. L. Buck of Winona, who had a,
clear field for the Democratic nominal
tlon.
Halbert did not get Into the fight
until three weeks ago, but has made
a whirlwind campaign. The Stevens
people did not see any chance of de
feat until a couple of weeks ago, but
since then Stevens has made a strong
fight for renomlnatlon.
The winner will have only nominal
opposition unless an Independent can
didate Is brought out.
FIRE ON RACING BALLOONS
Aviator Baldwin Tells of Reaching
Altitude of Three and a Half Miles
to Escape Lightning.
New York. Capt. Thomas Baldwin,
the veteran balloonist, was the most
astonished rann In the country when
he arrived in New York Tuesday from
Portsmouth, Ohio, where he and Clif
ford B. Harmon landed In the bal
loon New York Sunday evening, to
learn that they had not yet been re
ported. Allan P. Hawley and Augustus Post
of the America II., which landed at
Warrenton, Pa., Monday afternoon,
were flrud upon several .times while
passing through Ohio.
"We encountered hot sun, cold
winds, thunder and lightning, and rain
In rapid succession," said Captain
Baldwin. "It kept us guessing to
manage the ballast under these con
ditions, and when we dropped Sunday
evening at five o'clock, near Ports
mouth, Ohio, we had used it all tip
except a few pounds. Our gas was
badly depleted by the constant con
trasts of temperature through which
we had gone.
"About noon Sunday we encoun
tered one of the worst thunderstorms
I have ever seen in. the upper air.
Only by soaring above It at a height
of three and a half miles did we avert
tho danger of being struck by light
ning. At four o'clock Sunday after
noon we found urselves with hardly
a pound of ballast left, and began to
look about for a good place to drop.
We found such a spot on a hillside
near Portsmouth."
Indianapolis. The last of the thir
teen balloons which started In the
American championship and free-for-all
races at the Indianapolis motor
speedway last Saturday afternoon has
landed and the greatest balloon meet
in history is ended.
As both endurance and distance are
taken Into consideration in deciding
the three winners of the champion
shp event, the three to represent
America In the International meet to
be held in St. Louis October 17 next,
the victors will not be known until
the Aero Club of America passes on
tho reports of the pilots.
