NEVER KNEW HIM TO TELL A LIE (anaot Believe He Haa t'om mlltrd Rabornatloa of Perjary la f'oaaeetloa with I-aad (, la Thla Htate. Chancellor D. W. C. Huntington of the Wesleyan university ta an Omaha vlaltor, called here by the Schoolmasters' club meeting, and la a guest at the Merchants. Dr. Huntington was asked In reference to l he recent arreat of his son. Thomas M. Huntington at Gordon on the charge of alleged subornation of perjury with respect to land filings within the Richards and , Comstock ranch enclosures in Sheridan and Cherry counties. He said: "I flrst knew of his arrest through the press reports and canie here with the ex pectation of meeting him In Omaha. I do not wish tobe placed in the attitude of pleading for my son. and hardly know Just .what to say. However, as I have known him all his life, I am perfectly free to say I never knew him to tell an untruth, and I cannot bring myself to believe that he has been guilty of the grave charge of whloh he la accused, and, in fact, I know that he la not. For a great many years, twenty or more, my son has been en gaged In. the surveying buslnes In that country, having first been connected with It with the Northwestern road. He lias, of course, located a great many people In that country, being famlliur with It. But that doe not follow that he would or could do a dishonorable act In, connection with the location of homesteads, lie la not now engaged In the surveying business. As te CrlUclala GovmiuiM, "I do not wish to be put In the attitude of criticising the government or the secret service agents for whatever woik they may be called upon to do there, or whether their seal to make a record for efficiency would lead them Into making charges against my son or other who may have t assisted homoseekera In locating their fil .' Inga in that country that partake of the serious nature of subornation of perjury. That matter will, of course, be thoroughly thrashed out when the cases are to be con sidered by the grand Jury.

As I said at the start, I do not know the full nature of the charges against my son and can only gather their Import from the general state ment that It Is subornation of perjury. It is easy to make a charge of that kind, but to prove It Is ontirely another matter." OMAHA WOMAN ON THE STAGE Mrs. Frisk V. Wood, Joins Company Here After Manager Hears Her Singe. Mrs. Frank V.

TOLD MOODY HE PREFERRED OPEN TRIAL Omaha Attorney Kaya UarSeld'a Coarse Admitted tfXs Alternative aat Immnsltr Vti Sataral raaeace af ftir. "The puckers themselves were cleared, but the corporations will have to stand trial, and I will say for the Cudahy Pack ing company, that It Is ready to go to trial," said Oeneral J. C. Cowln, counsel for Edward A. Cudahy and the Cudahy Parking company in the celebrated cose instituted by the Department of Justice against the packers. The trial to de termine the question of .whether the pack ers were immune from prosecution upon evidence of Commissioner Garfield, and which ended at Chicago Wednesday favor ably to the packers, stands unique in his tory, as the attorney general of the United States personally appeared to prosecute the case, this being the first instance of the kind since the days of Aaron Burr. General t'o win's part In the case was a distinguished one. "The Investigation by Mr. Garfield seems to be misunderstood by the public," said General Cowln. "Under the Martin resolu tion of the lower house of congress, and section 8 of, the law creating the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, Mr. Gar field was compelled to make the investiga tion he did make. He had no discretion In the premises. The object and purpose of the investigation was to get full In formation with respect to the packers' busjness, how it was conducted, how pur chases were made, how sales were trfade. the matter of by-products, the matter of profits, and everything connected with the business. Had to Make Visits. "Mr. Garfield could not comply with the demand of the Martin resolution and the law without going to the officers of the different companies and getting access tu their books. As I say, this he was coin pelled to do. The puckers could not refuse to glvo the Information, for the reason that their privilege under the fifth amend ment to the constitution was taken away and Immunity given In Its stead. But no law could take the place of the privilege of the constitution without complete im munity from prosecution, regardless of the question of guilt or Innocence. "This was decided In the councilman case and the case of Brown against Walker. Therefore, when Garfield sought the infor mation which he was compelled to get, as I have stated, and It was given by virtue of the compulsion of the law, and as a duty resting upon the ctCzen called upon. Im munity at once flowed from the law, and Mr. Garfield had nothing to do with It but to get the Information that congress re quired him to get. The resolution and the luw made It mandatory and Garfield had no alternative.' When a packer was called upon to give the Information, the constitu tional privilege of the fifth amendment be ing taken away and Immunity awarded In its place, he had no alternative but to an swer and furnish the books. In other words, Garfield was compelled to get the information, the packer was compelled to give that information and necessarily there flowed therefrom under the law complete Immunity to the perron furnishing the In formation. Government Artlou I annual. "It Is remarkable to me the Importance given to this case by the Department of Justice. That department considered the decision in the Hale case (the tobacco case) as a great triumph for the government. Now, outside of the decision with respect to the corporations themselves, the decision In the Halo case goes (only to the extent that Hale is compelled to answer, so that this paraded victory Is nothing more than securing an order of the court to compel Halo to answer, while Garfield secured the same victory without any litigation. When Hale shall answer and produce a single book of his concern he will bo absolutely immune from any prosecution. You will see, therefore, that the Department of Jus tice has litigated the Hale case over a long period to compel him to answer, and the argument of the government was that he was compelled to answer because the statute gave him immunity upon answering, and the Department of Justice will give Hale, when he answers, just exactly the immunity that was given by the investiga tion by Gurlleld without the expense of litigation. ("onlii'i Mateuieut to Jari. "In my opening statement to the court and Jury I took the position that, as above stated, Garfield was compelled to get the Information and that the packer was com pelled to answer; the duty of Garfield was to get the Information, the duty of the packtr to give It, and that upon giving It Immunity flowed from the law. My con tention was fully sustained by Judge Humphrey. "Mr. Cudahy did not interpose the plea of immunity from fear of a trial on the merits; In fact, I made a proposition to latest fads and fashions.

' ANDREWS ENTERS A DENIAL Pool Koom Mas Says Minor Ild Xot Play la Ilia Place of Raslaess. The charge made by Probation Officer Bernstein that a 13-year-old child was found playing pool In my place is entirely untrue." said T. F. Andrews, who con ducts a pool room at 313 North Fifteenth street. "No minor was caught playing pool there and no minor plays pool there. "The Implication that I offered a bribe to Bernstein to escape arrest also, la un true. I never thought of doing anything of the kind. I have lived and done busi ness in Omaha for a good many years and don't have to violate the law to make a living. "The statement that I was locked up in the county Jail to await trial also Is un true. I was detained for about fifteen minutes in the sheriff' office." Mr. Andrews, with some show of feel ing. Insists he is an Innocent victim of circumstances. The only part of the re port he admits is that he was arrested. Aaaoaacentrata of the Theater.

GAS, ENGINE OF THE FUTURE Economical Motive Power, Saji City Entci neer, After St Joseph Visit. EXAMINES THE PARKER PRODUCER Will Report to Commercial Clan Hia Fiadiusv aa lo Projec tion of Gaa at Three Cent. At the request of the Commercial club City Engineer Rosewater went to St. Joseph and made a critical examination of the Parker gas producer, which has been represented to the club as capable of making power gas for 3 cents per thousand cubic feet. The engineer took City Chemist Kiisclibrauu ulong with him to study the process from a purely technical stand point. Tho report and conclusions have not beeu formulated cutlrely, but will be given to the club us soon as poHsible, "The inventor of the producer la a Rochester man," said Engineer Rosewater. "A company has been formed to make the machines and a completo plant equipped and used for dumonatratlon at St. Joseph. There is no doubt in my mind that the gus engine is the economical engine of the future. The gas as produced by this process is used In gas engines direct, and not to genorate slcum, as some persons evidently suppose. While I think it can be made at the bare cost of 3 cents per thousand cubic feet, this refers solely to the coal consumed and not to the labor, Interest on plant or dcterloriatlon. Oas producers are not new. They have been experimenting with them fifteen years. The Porker process apparently is a suc cess. The gas made can be used for illu minating purposes by using a small quan tity of crude petroleum. "The main principle of the producer lie in the utilization of every particle of en ergy possessed by coal. Screenings from the Cherokee district mines, routing about $1.90 a ton, are used.
