Ten Chicago beef barons were brought measurably nearer to jail here fcrnday, in case of their conviction for alleged viola tion of the Sherman anti-trust law, when United States Judge Carpenter overruled a demurrer to indictments against them, and declared that the "immunity bath'' of 1905 did not apply.

In overruling their demurrer Judge Carpenter denounced the packers' contention that the 1905 imunlty bath prevented prosecution on charg es similar to those which the "bath" covered. He reviewed at length the prose, cutlon of the packers in 1904, and held that It was easily possible to secure information of conspiracy from Independent sourqes, which the Immunity grant could not bar. "The immunity grant is not a gen eral amnesty," said Judge Parker. It applies to past, . not to future crimes.

President. Taft Invites Baron Uchida, the Japanese Am bassador, to the White House for an Exchange of Taffy. ; SHOW FOR MEXICO ONLY Assured the Ambassador That There AVas No Ground for the Relief That tike Military Movement Was Unfriendly to Japan Afterwards Held Conference With the French Minister Concerning Arbitration Treaty With Prance nnd England. Washington, March 22. To person ally assure the Japanese ambassador that the present relations between Japan and the United States are en tirely satisfactory, President Taft In vited Baron Uchida to call at the White bouse this afternoon. The president wished to Inform the am bassador that there was no ground for the belief that the. present military maneuvers on the Texas frontier were unfriendly to the Japanese na tion, but that the Immediate cause for the mobilization was the apparent danger of a crisis In Mexican internal ; affairs. ! Tn aummtnir i,n Hi. altnaflnn tnrlav a friend of President Taft said: "It was Uncle Sam's cut to take oft his coat, allowing his six shooter to be exposed; roll up his sleeves, dis play his muscle, take out his trusty blade and then sit down and whittle. The wily old gentleman for whom the stage was set fully appreciated, too, that the act was for this purpose, and Uncle Sam is now satisfied." After President Taft's conference with Japanese Ambassador Uchida to day the cabinet was in session for three hours, discussing the Mexican situation and the talk of the presi dent with the Japanese diplomat, Later the president and Robert Ba con, ambassador to France, dis cussed an arbitration treaty with France and a similar convention with Great Britain, both of which. It Is honed, may be negotiated within president Taft's tenure of office.

In the absence of Judge Galloway a temporary Injunction was granted by Judge Bushey. Neal was employed in October of it year at a salary of $15 a month. FIVE NOT TO JAPAN THEIR cum ED DUE, SAYS No Chance for Peace. El Paso, Tex., March 2. Optimism that the end of the Mexican revolt is near, which was rampant here yesterday, has paled and almost dlsap- peared fcoday through the fail. ure to receive any message 4 promising peace from Mexico City. The impression here now is that Diaz has refused to dls- cuss any proposals until the rebellion is over, and both rev- lolutionary sympathizers and federals think it looks now like a long, hard fight to a finish. To add to the depression in f Jaurez, the city evidently ex- pects an attack and several Mexican officials arranged today that their families should stay in El Paso. When he failed to pass his examina tion this year he secured, according to the complaint, a permit from the county superintendent to teach and the directors, over the objection of Popham, who Is also a director and taxpayer, continue to employ him.
