One enthusiastic Individual circulated In the crowd and stirred up the feelings of quite a number by saying there were, enough there to take the prisoners away from the officers. The patrol wagon was then sent for and Patrolmen Glover nd Brady kept the people at a distance while the three prisoners were placed In he wagon. Be fore the wagon arrived O'Hearn and Angus showed considerable nervousness and asked their custodians to take them back to tho jail on a street car rather than wait for tho wagon. Being assured of protection, the prisoners seemed more at ease. As the patrol wagon was being driven hurriedly away from the saloon the crowd followed the conveyance some feet and yelled "Dirty cowards" to- the prisoners. Monday morning the four prisoners were photographed for the police records. At 1:30 they wero taken to the coroner's office for the lniiiest, which was called at 2 p. m. Angus' mother vlglted her son at the Jail Monday morning ; and broke down 'when she greeted her son through the grating. The four prisoners spent the night quite well and appeared more cheerful Monday morning than might have been expected under the circumstances. rRISOMiH TtKJJS OIT OK CITY Aa Prerantlonary Measure They Are Hemored by the Police.

In fact but few persons outside the station . attaches knew that the boys were not In the city Jail during the night. While there was but little apprehension for the safety 1 of the prisoners from mob violence. It was deemed best to. remove them to the state prison. ' There were many rumors last night of a plan to attack the city Jail and deal vengeance on the highwaymen. One story stated that the hour of 11 o'clock had been definitely agreed upon for the deed. At 10:S0 o'clock an unidentified . person, apparently a foreigner by hia lan- guage. called uo the station and told Desk Sergeant Vanoua to keep policemen away from the station, as In ten minutea a mob would be there with a rope for Ihe four 1'prisoners.

As a part-of "their protest against the package foorl ordinance,' representatives' of the Cudiihy Packing company produced an extrlblt of canned sardines, bottled mUSr tard, canned frankfurters and soap of a rival house before the general committee Of the council yesterday afternoon. The pro posed ordlnnnce demands that foodstuffs of all kinds sold In packages have the weight stamped on the cover: The Cudahy people protested that much of the package goods are made to sell at a price, without any strict pretensions as to weight, though often referred yfa at . "quarter-pound," "half pound" and other sizes. They wished the ordinance changed to. apply to package goods purporting to contain a specified amount of goods. Councilman Zlmman said that many Inter eats, of a mind like to the Cudahy people. have notified him they would object to the ordinance, and that he had told each to for- mulata an ordinance on the subject and present it at a meeting to be held later. The ordinance introduced in the council was drawn primarily to prevent the sale of leas than ono pound of butter In packages. j Investigations showed that the cartons' ran from one to several ounces short of a full sixteen ounces.

BEWARE OF SUBSTITUTIONS 1 RATE OUESIIQN IS SENATE Mr. Clay Advocate! Giving mors Power to In'.entato 'Commerc 8oid. GOVERNMENT 0WNLRSHIP ALTERNATIVE Mr. Aldrlch Annoonrea that He Will Oppose Any Meaanre Drafted Along Lines Suggested. WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. The question of regulating railroad rates occupied pi ac tually all of the time of the senate today notwithstanding no bill with that end In view has been reported from the Interstate commerce committee. The discussion of the subject was In connection with Mr. Clay's speech. Messrs, Aldrlch, Foraker, Bailey and Newlands being the principal partici pants In addition to Mr. Clay himself. Mr. Clay advocated the passage of a bill which would give the Interstate Commerce commission power to regulate rates when complained of and said If there was not leg islation along that line the country might count upon agitation of the question of government ownership. In that connection ne rererreo to tne large vote given Mr. Hearst In the lute New York municipal ; election as an indication of the popularity of municipal ownership of public utilities. Mr. Aldrlch indicated a purpose to oppose such legislation as that outlined and de clared that Mr. Hearst was the author of the proposition to confer the rate-making power on the commission. He also took occasion to declare that the signs of the limes point to the naming of either Mr. Hearst or Mr. Bryan as the next democratic presidential candidate, but when pressed to Indicate the probabilities In the republi can party declined to make a prediction and also avoided answering a query of Mr. Bailey as to whether the president would be a candidate for a third term. At the conclusion of the morning busi ness Mr. ClaV addressed the senate on his resolution relating to governmental power to fix maximum future charges by railroads. Mr. Aldrlch asked Mr. Clay If complaints would Increase or decrease. If the power to fix rates were given to a commission. The opinion was expressed by Mr. Clay that If the power were given the commission a ma jority of disputes would be settled by ship pers and . the roads and the complaints would diminish. Mr. Clay said there seemed to be an Idea that tn all Instances the Interstate Com merce commission will decide against the railroads, but he contended that there was no Justification for such contention. It was to be presumed, he said, that the commis sion would do Justice tn all parties far more Impartially than would either the carrier or the shipper. Dolllver Complains of Criticism. 'Senator Dolllver' Interrupted to complain of a criticism of himself in the Washington correspondence of a Philadelphia paper, in which It was declared that "a snake had been discovered In tho Dolllver rate bill,' a trick by means of which the author of the bill, who poses as a supporter of the president,- Is seeking to emasculate the bill so It will amount to nothing." The provision .to which reference was mode is the section In tho bill Introduced by Mr. Dolllver that the commission by mandamus proceedings In the United States courts may enforce Its orders. This pro vision was In addition to the penalty of ta.OOO a day against the carrier which 'might not comply with an order of the commis sion. Mr. Dolllver declared the criticism was an attack not upon himself alone, but upon the entire Benate, and that It was "stupid, un called for and libelous." He said he had taken the provision criti cised almost literally from the interstate commerce bill In the senate committee on Interstate commerce. He did not, he said, consider It necessary to defend his own character from such attacks, but he did think It worth while to expose a stupidity the like of which he had not before seen perpetrated by a member of the press gal lery. Burton Gets His Mileage. One of the moat remarkable procedures In the history of the senate occurred today in order to avoid & technicality which pre vented Senator Burton of Kansas from drawing his mileage from the present ses sion. In order to have his requisition hon ored it is necessary for some official of the senate to tako oath that he had seen the senator In the chamber: but since the In- Nature's Way Is Best.
