"We hold that the petition Is sufficiently
specific. We have cited Stephen Vail and
others Of the strikers, officers and agents
of the strikers, to answer to this action
and all are named In This bill of com
plaint. In this proceeding wa are willing,
for the sake of argument, to call It a pro
ceeding under the criminal law."
Mr. Gaines said:
"The various unions, their officers and
followers, are specified In the complaint
and the acts complained of were done
under and by direction of their officers.
Proceedings In contempt must be had by
virtue of, an affidavit. -Thore la no differ
ence between an affidavit for . contempt

thRt "the procedure must determine
whether the action Is civil or orlmlnal."
Mr. Gaines continuing, said;
"Wo appeal to the procedure of a privute
tight, and not to 'punish. We want to
show by this cause why these men should
not show cause why they should not be
proceeded against for contempt. Wtknow

Mr. Smyth maintained that the citation
In this cause was that of a criminal char
acter and that no state or federal court
applicable In criminal cases were applicable
In his case. "The bill of complaint was
a blanket net," he continued, "to put these
met on the f ind and find out what they
have been doing down there. The affidavit
in this case was not sworn to, and could
not stand from that cause."
General Cowln on behalf of the packers
said:
"This bill Is a verification of the petition
for citation. The men r who witnessed
the transaction complained of are afraid
to make a specific- affidavit for fear of
bodily harm. If you require us to make
a verification of cause the Injunction la
useless."
Mr. Fleharty emphatically denied that
thero was any condition of Intimidation at
South Omaha. He wanted to know "Who
are in court in this cause? Is it the 170
specifically comftlalned of, or the 2,000 or
more strikers? We want to know this. In
order that we may have some basis for our
defense."
After some further discussion on tech
nical points, the court took the matter
under advisement and will dispose of the
motion Thursday morning.

"Prices of meat are not hiirh whan ntvt

added Mr. Beaton. "At least If they are.
If the consumer Is paying extortionate
prices for Hhe meat he eats It Is not the
fault of the packer, as you can see from
the printed lists I have shown you."
The retail meat seller Is equally as quick
and emphatic In disclaiming responsibility
for the enormous Increase In the price of
all kinds of meats, yet efforts were made
In vain to get definite and concise state
ments as to their rutins- nrir rin.
butcher submitted a list of the prices on the
same schedule given by Mr, Beaton, and
as a matter of fact his flirurea showed tha
consumer Is paying very little more and
in many cases not as much for his meat
today as h did two years ago.
An Interesting colloquy transpired In a
butcher shop where the proprietor was be
ing Interviewed on the prices of meat. The
proprietor, for Instance, had put down the
ruling price of bacon at 15 cents a pound.
One of his customers chanced to be taking
a little more interest In the rnnvrriailnn
than the proprietor had counted on,
"What's that, bacon at 16 cents a pound?
Well. here. ' if that' so. I hen w hni.
thla you sold me for 18 cents," exclaimed
me customer, manifestly much worked up.
"Are. you short-chanalna me or arffth.

Tha butcher then admitted some of his
bacon sold for as high as 20 cents a pound.
"Yes," InUrposed the customer, l and dur

high as 22 cents."

RELEASE DOES NOT ABOLISH THE RIGHT
Ufflclally Statcd at St. Petcrsbarg; that
Commissions Issued to'Volan
tcrav Fleet Boats Have
. w Expired.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.-The text of
tha government's statement of the seixuro
of the British steamer Malacca, seised in
the Red sea by the Russian volunteer
fleet steamer St. Petersburg, is as follows:
Prom the beginning of the Rusao-Jap-anese
war the imperial government took
measures to prevent the transport of con
traband of war to Japan by vessels of
neutral countries. In Hie legulallons sanc
tioned by the emperor February 14, Uo4,
which Russia proposed to follow during
the wax, a list was given of articles re
garded by us as contraband. It was also
declared that the military and maritime
authorities would reserve to themselvne
the right of rigidly executing the decisions
contained in the regulations for naval
priies, sanctioned by the, omperor- March
K7, and in the instructions confirmed
by, tlie council pf the -admiralty I'eptember
i!0, 19i-0. regarding the procedure for stop
ping, vlKiting and seixmg as well as lor
the carrying off und delivering over vessels,
and outgoes seized. The volunteer fleet
vessel m. I'eter.iliurg ynd Sinolennk hav
ing received a special commission, the term
of whleh has now expired, In proceeding
to their destinations, acted in aocordance
with the above decisions, and while panning
through the Red tiea stopped and visited
all suapec-ted vessels encountered In those
waters. It was under these conditions that
the commander of the St. Petersburg
stopped, among others, the British steamer
Malacca, the captain of which refused to
show his ship's papers relating to the
cargo, a refusal which led to the seizure
of the vessel and the decision to send It
to I.lbnu with the view to throwing light
on the matter.
Nevertheless, In view of the official state
ment of the British government that the
Malacca was carrying British state cargo,
the Imperial government, acting In agree
ment with the British government, decided
that a fresh visit should b paid to the
seized vessel at the nearest port on lis
route in the presence of the British consul.
This visit occurred ut Algiers. The British
consul general officially certified that the
military stores on Doaru continued 10 00
the property of the British government
snd that the rest of Its curgo was not
contraband of war. Taking this attesta
tion Into consideration, the Imperial gov
ernment decided to liberate the cargo and
vessel. This decision mutt not. however,
be Interpreted as a renunciation by the
Imperial government of Its Intention to
dlspnttfh cruisers and warships In general
to prevent the.carrylng of contraband for
our enemy.
RISIAN9 THOROIKHI.Y WHIPPED
Battle at Mao Yanar a JP Victory
Won by Hard Flahtlnor.
TOKIO. Aug. 2. (Noon.) General Kurokl
has administered a severe defeat to the
Russian forces which defended the Rus
sian east flank of Llao Yang, winning
separate actions at Yushullkzu and Yangse
pass. These two places are twenty-six
miles apart, but the two actions were
fought at the same time. The Russians
held strong positions. The thermometer
reglsteted over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and
the soldiers suffered cruelly front "heat ex
haustion. '
At Yushulikiu the Russians had two di
visions of Infantry and some artillery, and
they Teslsted the Japanese assaults vigor
ously. Both attacks were begun at dawn
on Sunday, . July SI. At Tushulrkzu the
Japanese carried the Russian Jeft ; wings,
but on account of the strength of the Rus
sian position they were unable then to
press the attack. " The two armies rested
Sunday night, facing each other.
At dawn on Monday the Japanese re
sumed the attack, and by noon they had
dlslodged"the -enemy 'a.hdtfrlven'tirm four
miles to Lao Holing. At Yangse paas also
the Japanese we re successful. , fTlielr ar
tillery opened on the enetriy. 'and the Jn
fantry moved forward from Makumeza,
The attack on this place was made at 1
o'clock on Sunday and by nightfall the
Japanese were In possession of a majority
of the Russian' positions, although the
enemy had resisted with determination. ..
The Japanese forces passed the night In
battlo formation and another assault was
made on Monday at dawn. By 8 o'clock
Monday morning Yangse pass and the sur
rounding heights had been captured. Gen
erl Kurokl explains the slowness of these
actions by saying that, the -difficult topogra
phy of the battlefields made It impossible
to secure good artillery positions, and that
the great heat fatigued his troops.
The Russians' force at Yangse pass was
estimated at two and a half divisions and
four batteries of artillery. The enemy re
treated toward Tanghoyen. Genoral Kurokl
reports the capture of some field guns, but
the numbe Is not given. The Japanese
casualties ire being Investigated.
