Chicago, Nov. 18. The trial ot J.

begin Monday before Judge Carpenter.
This was decided today when Judge
Kohlsaat granted the packers per
mission 10 appeal his decision squash
In? the habeas corpus writs.
After Kohlsaat quashed the writs
Mayer announced that the packers
would appeal. He then painted a
Sp-ony picture of Hie "humlllatioi,
debasement and ignominly of the de
fendants being locked up until the su
preme court should pass on the vrit
of a certiorari petition.
-The packers' counsel will enrrvt
the contention that the court erred In
uashing the writ to the United States
supreme court. The appeal will also
Involve the attempt to have the crim
inal section of the Sherman law de
clared unconstitutional. By refusing
to admit the defendants to hail and
requiring their surrender to their!
bondsmen, Kohlsaat keeps the park-1

Washington, D. C, Nov. 18. Gener
al Leonard Wood today telegraphed
the commanders of all army posts
along the southern state borders to
hcJa themselves in readiness to dls
partch troops immediately to the Mexi

The Mexican situation is acute. Re

Motion Is Quashed.
Chicago, Nov. 18. Jail sentences
for Armour and nine other meat pack
ers heading the beef trust, came per
ceptibly nearer today when Jud
Kohlsaat quashed the writ of habeas
corpus obtained by the beefers to de
lay a hearing in thelf. case on a
charge of violating the anti-trust law.
The writ was quashed on the gov
ernment stand that the packer had
never been in the custody of United
States marshals and therefore no hab
eas corpus Is possible. It Is under
stood thot th ( w na vn n trtol
on Its merits Monday.
The only alternative from an actual
trial is that Judge KohlBaat may or
der the whole case sent up to the
United States supreme court for a
final opinion on the constitutionality
of the criminal clause of the Sherman
law .which attorneys for packers con
tend is illegal.
BY THE SYSTEM

CRUEL FATHER
COURT DECIDES OX JAIL SEX
TEXCE AS PUNISHMENT.
Further Charges to Be Preferred La
ter if He Again Thoreatens Family
For a period of 12 days at least the
family of J. R. Bumgardner will be
able to live without molestation
through anger spells by the husband
and father. Bumgardner is the man
who was Jailed two nights ago for
threatening to injure his family and
who has been found to have misused
his family for a period of three years,
Invoked terrible vengeance for his
flights ot anger. He was arrested for
carrying concealed "knucks" but this
morning when he was heard in Justice
court he said he carried them to In
sure his self protection from tramps
that meander around his lowly hut
at the stockyards. He talked very re
spectably to the court, telling of his
anxiety to feed his family and that he
did not know he was violating the law
by carrying "knucks." However, to
give the authorities time to make pro
visions for his family's safe-guarding
the punishment for his guilt of car
rying weapons was placed at 12 days
In Jail. He will likely be given a
hearing on some more serious charge
should It be found he persists in mal
treating his family when he is Te
leased. Judge Williams found it a
problem this dispensing of justice
but is confident the Jail sentence is
the best solution.
