One of the stxoiixest evidences of the
day's tendency toward peace was the nom

j!uc. on the new rules committee by Kep
lesentutlve Norrls of Nebrlska, leader of
the insurgent end author of the resolution
which precipitated the recent war. Repre
sentative Norrls said that as Minority
I.iud-r Ciurk was to be a member of the
committee he believed also Mr. Payne
should bo on the committee. Half of the
house appeared to find something huinor-

K'n.lly all of the insurgents, both those
who vMod for and against speaker
Saturday, announced that they Intend to

and one or two others, early In the day,
declared they would not. under any cir

Insurgents Mill Attend.
Representative Norms, ' author of the
resolution which overthrew ilie old rulus
committee, said today:
. "We do ot Insist on representation. All
we want Is a committee of fair men. I
have no doubt ttia Insurgents will enter
the republican caucus unless something la

everything wilt be all right. What will

Mr. Norrls said there was no meeting

Immediately upon the announcement of
the Indictments before Judge Kenesnw M:
Landls, the government filed a suit reeking
the dissolution of the National Packing
company. The latter action Is known as a

Jointly with it in the Indictment returned
today by the federal grand Jury for the
northern district of Illinois. Its organisa
tion was directed by the best counsel ob
tainable, who then believed, and now be
lieve, that its organisation and the opera
tion of its subsidiary companies In no way
transgressed the provisions of the Sherman
act, and In this respect It Is practically
similar to nearly all the large corporations
of the country. The total percentage of
the business done by the, corporations con
trolled by the National Packing company
forms but a small part of the whole pack
ing' Industry. This proportion could not
constitute a monopoly In any sense of the
word.
Disclaim Trade Restraint. '
"Instead of operating to 'restrain the
trade of Its subsidiary companies, as al
leged' In the indictment. It is a fact that
the companies all have shown a healthy In

operation of this company, The operations
have at all times been frank and open, and
we-are confident, that the courts will sus
tain our contentions with respect to their
legality."
The Indictments Include not only the Na
tional Packing company, but 'the Armour,
Swift and Morris companies, the St. Louis
Dressed Beef and Provision company and
! the Individuals who dominate and control
these conoerns. . . ,
The indictments Include the .National
It Is apparent , from the bill and the
indictment that the government regards
the National. Packing company as the
li strumentallty through which the packers
have been evading the anti-trust law and
I by means of which they have been making
their combination effective.
It Is admittedly 'the opinion of the- de
partment of Justice and the . grand Jury
w hich, at Judge ' Landls' direction has
been investigating the mat Industry rfor
the last two months, that if the National
Packing company is broken up the alleged
evlis of this combination will be remedied.

The question of seniority, or 'the promo

and the question of new representation by
the union of firemen who have been pro
moted to be 'englnemen, are to be com
promised before any arbitration is at
tempted. The demand of the men for an
increase In wages of 12V4 per cent Is then
to be submitted to arbitration under thp

In previous negotiations the rajjroad had
agreed to arbitrate the wage question, but

Two Cars Telescoped.
The wreck resulted when the engine left
the track and stuck in the bank in a dean
cut, while Bolnu at the speed of twenty,
five miles on hour. Tl sudden impact

sleeper clear through the ear.
The smoker In turn telescoped the wom

In these two cars the death loss was ap
palling, there being eighty passengers in
the women's coach and almost as many
In the smoker. In the sleeper only two
were killed and five or six hurt, according
to Pullman Conductor B. W. Jay of this
I city. The county coroner and one of the
I physicians of the rescue psrty were badly
I hurt by being thrown from an ni.l'iulanca
when making a breakneck race for the
hospital. A temporary morgue has been
established here. '
Every physician and nurno in the city
wus ruHhed to the scene In automobiles,
wlillo two special trains were made up
and rushed to the scene. The wounded
