The live stock center represented Included nearly every city of Importance from Buffalo to Ienver and from fit. Paul to Kurt Worth. Twenty delegates came from Chicago. The nutlonal exchange Is practically the clearing: house for the various local ex- changes on all matters relating to me live stock trade and the annual meetings are practically for the exchange of business Ideas. James C. Swift of Kansas City, the president, said this morning that as far as he knew nr pressing matter was to be taken up at this meeting.

An effort Is now being made to enforce the terms of the government Inspection of live stock on all cattle killed for sale In ( imaha regardless of whi ther It la for slate or Interstate business. pr. Knmacclottl ami Inspector Ryan of the Hoard of Health dropied Into South Omaha Wednesday afternoon and held a dosed conference with a number of the government ofllclals, clly officials and offl cinls of the stock yards company. The In spector Is silent as to the result and Ir. Ramacclottl Is no more communicative. Rut It transpires that the result of their visit was a report to Health Commissioner Connell, which was made the basis of a conference with the an-caltcd "Independ ent" packers of South Omaha. The object of this conference was to submit to the pnekers a suggestion that they comply with the terms of the government Inspection law on all meat ' offered for sale In Omaha under penally of having all meat not bear ing brands of lnsiectors confiscated and destroyed. The report of the Inspectors to the com missioner of health was to th? effect thaf there Is no regulation by which tho "In dependents" can now bo prevented from killing any kind and condition of cattle and placing them on sale In the state: that the total number of cattle killed by "Inde pendents" at South Omaha Is from 1,200 to j 1.5m per month, and that no record la made of such killings. It Is proposed to make a city ordinance requiring the same tests for meat offered for sale In Omaha as Is required by the government for Interstate bualnens. A number of Independent packers object to this regulation, but others say they do not object If It is made effective on all, and farmers and others are prevented from offering meat for sale In the city which has not been Inspected and approved. The conference wiib held Thursday after noon at 4 o'clock behind closed doors. Dr. Connell would mako no statement as to its result, but said that the matter would rest 1 uptil the return of Mayor Iahlman. j I Fl ARFRAPK IPWITFn PfiWllFR i rUMnrDHVr lUlMI I LU rUVVUtn " N"I Court of loqnlry Finds Ciiom of LOxploslon on Buttle hip Georgia.

HOlSia July IS. The evidence Is all in. Analysis and arguments begin toluol tow and within the next seven da s tho fate ol William D. Haywood will rest with tin Jury. The session this morning was given up to Clarence I'arrow, who, In liehalf of Haywood, argued that the showing of th deportation from Cripple Creek during tin strike period und the connection of th I'inkerton detectives and hired "gun men," should be allowed to go to tho Jury. Mr. Harrow reviewed the Colorado situation, lie charged the mine owners and the do leitives with planning a fake wreck on the Florence & Cripple Creek ruilway. with blowing up the Indi peiulenoe depot and wltli fostering riot and disorder through Idled thugs. Harrow was Impassioned and hurled In vective without stint at the detectives and Orchard. He closed with a whirlwind ap peal for the right to show a conspiracy against the Western Federation of Mlueis. Nciiulor Borah will reply to Durrow's ar gument this afternoon. The Jury was not brought Into court to day, the day being given over to the con sideration of Instructions to be given the twelve men who have the life of tho de fendant in their hands. Judge Wood heard the views of opposing counsel, who were requested to give their opinions as to the materlullty of the evi dence showing deportations and the em- pioyment of detectives by the mine owners aI,j citizens of Colorado. Clarence Harrow wag ttie first to speak today. His speech, WttB preceded by a brief announcement on the part of Senator Uurah that tho state would not oppose tho striking out of that part of Harry Orchard's testimony which dealt with his talk to Steve Adams and Pettlbone as to Adams going into northern Idaho and "getting rid of some claim Jumpers." v Judge Wood culled attention to this testimony yesterduy und indicated that he did not believe It had been con nected In any way with tho defendant, Haywood. "We objected to that testimony when it was admitted," declared Mr. Harrow for j tn defense, "and we do not think, that , striking it out now will right any wrong that was done by it. t We will not ask that it be stricken out." "Hut you will not object to the court In structing the Jury ,wlth reference to ltt" usked Judge Wood. Darrun Thruata at Court. "No, sir, we cun't do that," replied Dar row, "und, while I do not at this time criticise tho court for the latitude It al lowed the slate In this case, there seems to be no disposition to limit Us testimony In I any particular as to soino great, general i ' " '"- " "" --- Reglnnlng with tho Coeur d'Alene trou bles of 1KU9, Mr. Harrow called the court's attention once more to the fuct that Wil liam D. Haywood at that time had nothing to do with the general organization of tho Western Federation of Miners, but was an obscure member of a union 'in j(llver City, many hundreds of miles from the scone of the disorders. As to the employment of detectives Mr. Harrow declared the most or practically all of the testimony In the case was so cured by Plnkertons and it would be im possible to disassociate them and their methods from the issue. Taking up Or chard's crimes as confessed by Iilm, Mr. Harrow said the defendant at bar was com pelled. In refutation of a charge of having murdered Frank Steunenberg. to meet all sorts and conditions of allegations. "The state was allowed through Orchard to bring In something about an alleged at tempt to wreck a train, and of course this defendant was held up as the guilty party. men who perpetrated the crime merely wanted to create an Impression or appear ance, of a train wreck so as to trump up another charge acalnst the Western Fed eration of Miners." As to the Bradley explosion as claimed by Orchard Mr. Darrow said It was en tirely competent to produce testimony that the explosion was caused by gas. It wss also the proper course, he said, to show that the Vindicator mine Incident might have been an accident rather than ths re sult of design. Mr. Darrow sjient some time in discussing and citing authorities as to the materiality , of t)ie ,.vdence showing threats on the part of Orchard against Governor Steunenberg. He declared that if th(e was any question as to the relevancy of any of the testimony in the case, the doubt should be resoiva In favor of the defendant. ( barge Sterling; with Explosion. Mr. Darrow charged the Independent' explosion directly to K. C.
