rammed by the steamer Admiral Farragut,
from Philadelphia forPort Antonio, off
Cape Charlee. ahortly after midnight. The
Metida'a passengers and crew were trans

hours after the collision the Merlda sank.
Wireless die tress nais brought the

was somewhat damaged In the collision,
but was able to return to Philadelphia.
Officers of the Merlda went among the

Norfolk late today.
A later wireless message from Captain
Mader ef the Admiral Farragut aald:
"Farragut floating on fore-collleioa bulk

From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May U. (Special Tele

This bill Is In Una with several others
aimed at , recent ruUngs of the general
land office, which, It is alleged, has taken
snap Judgment on- certain homesteaders
who were found to be slightly delinquent
on proving up and thus forfeiting their
rights really without being given an op

INDICTMENTS ARE ALSO GOOD
loirt It a lee J. Osjdea Armoar and
Other Parkers Mast Stead Trial
aw the Charge of Violat
ing It.
CHICAGO. May it The demurrers of
the Chicago packers- In the "beef trust"
ease were overruled today by Judge Car
penter In the.t"lilted Ptates district court.
in his ruling Judge Carpenter declared
that the Sherman anti-trust law, which
had been attacked by the packers. Is con
stitutional. He also held that the Indict
ment charging J. Ogden Armour and other
packers with violating 'Its provisions is
valid.
Judge Carpenter's decision may have an
Indirect bearing on all antitrust litigation
In the United States In upholding the com
pleteness and (lability of the Sherman act.
Of this feature the court said:
"Congress aimed effectually to prevent
restraint of trade in Interstate commerce.
It had constitutional power to accomplish
this purpose by . making restraint of trade
criminal acts, or by empowering the United
States as complainant to secure Injunctions
against acts which constitute restraints
of trade, or by both. By passing the Sher
man act. It did both."
Paettloa at the Parkers.
The packers had based their demurrers in
part on an assertion that the act did not
define a crime or provide legal and con
stitutional means of correcting the abuses
It was designed to control; the decision
directly denied this assumption. They
also claimed that the act did not define the
misdoing In terms that would enable the
defendant to know In advance that such
performances as It condemned were Illegal.
Of this the decision says:
"I em of the opinion that the supreme
court of the United States has determined
that Sections 1, t and 3 of the Sherman
act define with sufficient accuracy the of
fenses therein enumerated." '
As to the stability of the Idictment, Judge
Carpenter, said:- . .... , .
"I do not see how the. grand Jury could
have mads the charge more definite and
believe It Is sufficiently specific to' satisfy
the .substatlv laws.
'. "The whole plan (that of the packers as
alleged In the IndJotment) from its Incep
tion appears plainly to be one to eliminate
competition as factor.! fixing prices
among the three groups of .tlefendaata, be
ginning with , the agreement not to bid
against each other, and. In. faot. .to bid
exactly the same amounts .for like grades
of llve'.stock. fixing a uniform selling price
and ending wiih fixing a uniform price of
sale 'and' an apportionment among .them
selves of the' total business, done., ,' . (
Kvldeaco at Mesepelf Ceaiplete.
VI am of the opinion that the facta
stated In the Indictments show clearly a
plan or scheme organlied and put In oper
ation "by the defendants, the ultimate pur
pose of which was to control the produc
tion, sale and distribution of fresh meat
throughout a large section of this country,
and as Incidental to that control to lower
prices to the producer of the raw ma
terial and raise prloea to the consumer
of the finished product. While the facts
do not disclose an absolute . monopoly, yet,
the large percentage of the business which
they control indicates Jhet they Intended to
acquire at least a successful commercial
monopoly." . .
Judge Carpenter, overruling the demur
rers, said he did not think the trial could
be held before fall.. May 17 the packers
will appear and plead to the charges or
file a petition for , a. bill of particulars.
Government attorneys question their right
to ask for such a bill after the action
today, but that will be decided at the ses
sion May 17. .

treeing nim rrom the responsibility of any
partlanshlp .favorable to progressives or

either, and Is In oddltlon, a strong and
clean man:
The attempt again to manage the affaire
of the Nintlr dlstrlbt from Des Moines has
resulted In giving wide eurrenQy to the
assertion that Judge Green la Ineligible on
account of the Iowa constitutional provis
ion declaring district Judges to be Ineligible
for any kind of office during the term for
which they were elected, except for the
supreme bench. There Is no question about
the meaning of the constitutional prohibi
tion, but that It- should be brought for
ward now, and from Des Moines, ls plainly
meant for the embarrassment of Judge
Green. It has been the practice to choose
congressional candidates from the bench
for years. Congressman Smith was himself
nominated and elected while occupying the
district court bench, and last fall the re
publicans named Judge Towner In the
Kighth district, while he still had three
yeare to serve on the bench. Judge Green
can fully comply with the constitutional
requirements by resigning from the bench
when he gets the nomination, which his
conscientiousness will doubtless Impel him
to do.

ARMY OF CURIOUS IN JUAREZ
Horde of Souvenir Hunters Tries to
Carry Off Town.
AMERICAN FIGHTERS OUT OF IT

Company Disbands All Mili

Vlaaroasly.
"
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
BY Ol'Y'C. CORE.
CITJPAD JUAREZ, Mexico, May 11
(Ppeclal Telegram.) Peace negotiations
ore a thing of the past, so far as, the in
surrectos are concerned, according to Dr.
Vaaques Gomes, the newly appointed min
ister of foreign relations of the provisional
government. Of course, he said, if Dlax
would step down and out, peace could be
brought about, but in no other way. Ha
declared he had already taken step to
have the new government recognized by
foreign powers.
Traffic tq this city we s opened at 12.M
o'clock today. By o'clock a vast horde
of American souvenir hunters had Invaded
the' ctty. 8ume Mexicans prcter to call
them vandals.
The army of curious, was made up mostly
of . Women, . with- baby carriages and
small children, ' There were hundreds of
men and boys. They considered nothing
sacred and tried to carry off everything
not nailed down. Shortly attar General
IMozco had ordered any one caugut loot
ing shot a young American was caught
trying to carry off some of the silver flats
from the mission ot Guadalupe. Because
of the a Lais and strip tiutterlng In the
breese just across the river, aitur consid
erable pleading by friends, he wa allowed
to return.
A little after 4 o'clock a Mexican band
from 1 I'aso came over here. Their quick
martial airs filled several lnsurrecloa
with so much enthusiasm that they began
to fire their guns in the air. others Joined
and dozens of shots were fired lu quick
succession.
( Fear af an Attack.
"Rabago has come!" was (he cy every
where.' Rebels grabbed up their guns In
every part of town and ran toward the
cuartel. Women fainted, while other ran
with their children toward the American
side.- dome trusted simply to their legq
ana ran until exhausted toward the foot
hills outside of town. In. the Jefelura,
wnere General Navarro is kept a polite
prisoner in Madero's headquarters, an In
eurrecto grabbed the old general by th
throat and shouted, "Command Rabago to
withdraw, or I will shoot you!"
Navarro was calm, and aald b had no
power to" order anyxaing. u aB hour
tilings quieted down and the souvenir
hunters returned In larger forces to their
work..
It haa been glvaa out officially that tbe
entire command under Madero hunday
night at t o'clock numbered L4&4 men. All
of . this number was In the attacking party
to which General Navarro capitulated.
Since the victory there has been consider
able friction among the various leaders.
No Insubordination has been reported, but
the men are simply Jealous of one another.
Many are particularly envious of Colonel
Garibaldi, becaube while Navarro's sword
a as not handed to him, the surrender was
practically mads to him. and he Is given
the credit by the correspondent. He was
discouraged at the state of affairs and de
clared he believed he would quit the revo
lution before long.
The American lnsurrectoa are all In El
Paso tonight, eating and dining to make
up for lost time. All have secured uew
rlothes and are recounting the various steps
of the fight. Unable to get an thing for
their services, after practically winning the
battle of Juares, the entire American com
pany under Captain Ltnderfelt. quit the
evolution tonight. There wore thirty-thic
In the command.
