CHICAGO. Jan. 23. The trial of the immunity of the packers indicted, for al leged conspiracy in restraint of trade was commenced today before Judge Hum phrey in the Federal Court Iujs G. Krauthoff. formerly general counsel for Armour & Co., was the only witness examined during the day. He described in detail his interview with Commission er Garfield, which prepared the way for the Commissioner's investigation of the packing Industry, and during which, the packers allege, ho promised immunity to the packers, provided they would al low him to have access to their books. In the afternoon Mr. Krauthoff was cross-examined by District Attorney Morrison. The examination was slow, as the District Attorney continually ob jected to the answers of the witness, de claring that they were argumentative rather than responsive. The court ruled, however, that the witness had a right to explain his answers. "When court ad journed tonight Mr. Morrison had not completed his cross-examination, and Mr. Krauthoff will take the witness stand aain in the morning. His Talk With Garfield. 21r. Krauthoff narrated his interview with Mr. Garlleld at the Chicago Club. April 13, 1905, when, the packers al lege, Mr. Garfield said certain thlnps the Import of which was that if he received the information for which he asked the -packers should never be prosecuted criminally. Judge Hpmphrcy ruled that, if it were true that the packers had di vulged evidence against themselves under pressure from the Government, it would be competent to show thb na ture of the legal advice under which the defendants were acting'. Mr. Morrison then asked the witness: "Did you advise your clients as to the oowers of the Commissioner to compel tes timony?" "I did. fully." "Did you advise them to comply with his requirements in case he should call for testimony?" ' "That was the principal subject on which I advised them." The witness then described his meeting with Mr. Garfield as follows: "Charles G. Dawes telephoned to me and said that Mr. Garfield was In the rity. and asked if I desired to meet him. I said that I would, and In company with Dr. Samuel McRoberts I called' at Mr. Dawes bank and we went to the Chicago Club. I was Introduced by Mr. Dawes to Mr. Garfield. After some remarks about other matters, Mr. Garfield opened the matter and It was discussed for near ly twoijhours. Wanted Access to ,Bo6ks. "Mr. Garfield stated In -a formal way, apparently careful of his language, sub stantially this:. That the Martin resolu tion imposed upon him a; duty of investi gating the packing industry; that in order to do tills he must have access to the books of the packers. His purpose InJ coming to Chlcagp was to gain this infor mation. He said he had held a conference with the President and others In respect to the Investigation, and that it was of very great Importance. He said that he was particularly anxious that the Inves tigation should be fair, exhaustive and thorough, so. that the usefulness of his department would bo shown. "I knew the powers of his office and pro duced a pamphlet, a report of the Secre tary of Commerce and Labor, and re marked that, of course, I knew of his power to get information. T said, in view, of his determination to acquire this information, I felt I hesitate to continue " The witness turned to District Attorney Morrison and asked,: "Mr. Morrison, do you wish to object?" "Say what you told him," said Judge Humphrey. "My first remark was that I had had occasion to look into the law. He then said that lie wished to make a success and not resort .to detective methods, and wished to report to the President, so that he could report to Congress. rromiscd Ic-nl Protection. "He again said that he spoke for the President and that, of course, we would have the protection necessary under the law creating his department I told him that my clients were in a very delicate position and that the newspapers were full of matter pertaining to them. I told him that if the law was valid there was . no doubt he could, compel the informa tion. I told him that If the results of this submission to his requirements were to be further newspaper notoriety and litigation I would, of course, contest the law. "He said that the letter of the law pro tected my clients. I -called his attention to the question of the yaladlty of the law. He answered thai his department must necessarily be separate from the other departments, and particularly the Department of Justice, arid that if It were known that his department was af filiated with the Department of Justice, of course people would not give him any information. He said that If I conceded the Jaw was valid, the matter was divided into thre classes that to which the Gov ernment was entitled: that which was doubtful, and that to which the Govern ment was not entitled. He then detailed how it Tvould'tbe dbnte; his special agents to go to one jiouse and begin the inves tigation. What Would President Do? "X then asked him,!' said Mr. Kraut hoff, "whether we were to be protect ed in case of dishonest special agents. He assured mo of this, and said that -we were protected-by - law; -the source of his information being- secret I askodvKim about Vsome. of this informa tion' yetting 'to the -newspapers and oven to the Department of Justice. He told me to "httve no apprehension Joti that subject I then asked what use the President of- the United States wished to make of the -inf ormation. He answered with emphasis that of course the President of a prreat Nation would not allow anything- to happen to. which anyone could take exceptions. He fur ther said that where figures And data came from unquestionable sources, the oath was not .necessary, but if anything- came up in regard to the oath he would let us know.. "On his assurance that all Informa tion would be kept inviolate Jn the Breau of Corporations, I answered some questions regarding- the price of cattle anil similar matters. We. .talked something further, but I think that was the substance of it" 3r. Krauthoff declared that acting on the statements of 'Commissioner Garfield, he had advised Swift & Co Nelson Morris & Co. and ArraoHr & Co. to submit their books- to the Javes-tl.ra.tlon. Severe criticism is beinc showered upon the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and Captain Cousins of the steamer. Queen for the manner in which the attempt was made-to, rescue thesur . vivors of the wrecked stoamer Valencia. Captain Cousins, In turn, accuses the master ofvlhe tug Czar of turning about and running for shelter with the only craft that. In his opinion, could have reached-the wreck, in whose rigging men. women and children were screaming for help. C. Allison, one of the survivors, says that those who reached shore in the first boat in the vicinity of the cliffs to which the wreck was within a few foot, did not display the proper spirit when they tied from the scene instead of making an endeavor to catch a line, of which there were plenty on board. A rope could have been made fast to the cliff,' he says, and many could have been saved. His story is a most pathetic one. Allison was on the raft picked up by the City of Topeka. Many camoras wore turned on the ocean when the Topcka's boat put out in response to cries and signs for help from the raft carrying- eighteen persons, and none of the pictures Indi cate an extraordinarily rough sea. The survivors had signaled the steamer Queon. .but without avail, and Captain Cousins of that vessel has been denounced for not ordering one of his boats to tho rescue. Frank K. Bunker, who lost his wife and two children in the WTOck. has made several ugly charges against the company, asserting that the life preservers were of tules instead of cork; that six members of the Valencia's crew landed at Cape Bcalo in one of the ship's boats, while no passengers were saved by that craft, and that the plugs In the bottom of lifeboats would not fit. W. E. Pcarcc, manager of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, has gone to Seattle from San Francisco to investigate these charges. WOMEN SHOVED OUT OP TIE Wfflf (Continued From rg? 1.) her, and asked her to send news of the wreck to the outside world. She stated that some one had tried to converse with her from a hut" . This person was afterward found to be F. F. Bunker, who, on bohalf of his 5pa'rty, who, he- stated, were -nearly dead and could go no further, made a plea ror assistance. Mr.and Mrs. Patterson "kept the wires going all night witness stated, and took no time whatever for sleep. The wrecked -mon- -slept howc-er, with the sleep of utter exhaustion. Next morning they, were informed by Mrs. Patterson that 'parties had started out from all directions, and that help would reach the Valencia and the party headed by Mr. Bunker. There was a heavy storm raging in the morning, how ever, and McCarthy's party bollcved that all was up with the ship, and that. "she had probably gone to pieces. Witness then told of the journey to Bamflcld j lighthouse and going aboard .the Salvor, lying in Bamllold Creek. This was on Tuesday night Salvor Stays in Safe Harbor. "What did the Salvor do?" was asked McCarthy. "She stayed thorq all night" "Did her captain know where the wreck was?" "Yes, .sir, but Captain Troup saw there was a "heavy sea on and it was. then Tory dark. Wc also thought that the Valen cia had probably -broken up by 'that" tlfric." Going buck to the launching of the boats from the wreck, some of the most Important of McCarthy's testimony was brought out "Was it not the Intention of Captain Johnson to lower the boats only to hc saloon rail and.lash them there?" was asked the witness. "Yes, sir." "If the boats had been held at the sa loon deck rail would there have been any hope of getting them off through the breakers at 'the proper time?" "I Chink so, sir." Could Have Ma do the Shore. "Could lifeboats holding forty people have gotten through- tho surf next morn ing with twenty souls aboard?" '"Yea. sir; if well manned."

It was then that the witness swore that a properly rigged surfboat from shore cDud probably have saved all the lives aboard the Yalencia. heroism: of ax athlete Oarsman Tried to Save Society Girl and Declined to Take to Baft. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 29. The Can adian government has begun arrange ments for an investigation to bo held "in Victoria, Captain G&iidln, Agent of Ma rine, Captain J. G." Cox, Lloyd's agent and Captain Jfewcomb, of the Canadian cruiser Kestrel, being appointed as the commission. There are few survivors re maining In the Jurisdiction, others who were here having been ordered to Se attle by the steamship company. This afternoon Frank . Conners and George Long, survivors' In the local hos pital, who were too ill to be moved, were subpenacd and were held for the investi gation. Whether any more of the. bodies found will be taken from the J5ceiie?of the dis aster is problematic An undertaker with a carpenter and supply of lumber for coffins, as well as a number of coffins se cured here, was taken to JSarnflcJd by the tug Lome, and the bodies will be taken to tho cable station, whence those that are identified will .be shipped and others probably be burled, at Bamfleld, Steps aro being taken to prevent any possible looting- by the Isdiane, the Col lector of Customs "having appointed the light keepers at Carmanah and Cape Beale as his agents to take charge, of any wreckage comlsg astore ts -be Mid pending instructions, and as there arc large quaatltles of liquor coming ahore TUB PICTUIIE SHOWS it is probable that this will be destroyed to prevent It falling Into the hands of the Indians. Crows and seagulls are accumulating, brought by the scent of the corpses, and the bodies found have been covered with sand by the searching parties, to prevent the birds from getting at them. Lineman Logan reports that the birds arc becoming exceedingly bothersome. Survivors tell of the heroism of G. H. Jesse, who was a prominent British Co lumbia oarsman, in refusing to take a place on the raft on which Conners and Long escaped, that he might remain to assist Ml.ss Laura VanWyck. a San Fran cisco society girl. George Long Said: "He (Jesse) was on board when I left, and he was one of tho gamcst of all. Tuesday night he not only held himself in the rigging, but also supported Miss Van "Wyck. I did not know who she was at the time, but have recognized her and Jesse from pictures in the papers. Miss Van Wyck broke down at times, and It was then that Jcsfc showed his great determination by clinging on and at the same time trying to succor Miss Van Wyck. Mrs. Jesse was a man in a thou sand, and when I left the vessel he was still clinging to the rigging with MUs Van Wyck In his arms." Conners said: ""I saw Jesse and know him, as he was a particularly striking man. He wasta little further on the mast than I when the topmast broke. I was carried down, and he had a hard time to keep In the rigging, holding Miss Van Wyck. "I called to him to come down and take a chance on the life raft but he replied: Nb, I have someone here to look after, and will stay and take my chances." "It Miss Van Wyck had been saved she would have owed her life to Jesse, as he did his utmost to save her, preventing her from falling from the rigging several times. He was still clinging to the rig ging holding Miss Van Wyck when I left It Is very likely he was drowned while still trying to save the young woman." THREE MORE BODIES FOUND Tup; Lome "Will Carry a Cargo of Coffins. VICTORIA. B. C, Jan. 23. The list of dead recovered from the sea since the Valeria was lost now totals 2L Three more bodies were found this morning, one of whom Is stated In dispatches to have been Simon D. Holllstcr, but It Is believed here by steamship officials the name Is H. Hoelschcr, of San Francisco. The tug Lome was held back, awaiting tho assembling of the party of searchers and to allow the undertaker to secure a number of coffins for the burial of vic tims whose bodies cannot be brought to Victoria. She will sail about 3 P. M., tak ing an undertaker, a carpenter to make rough coffins and a party of prospectors, sealers and others, who will be formed into land parties to scour the shore lino for bodies. Advices received from the land party which saw tho final destruction of tho Valencia and tried to make fast lines shot aHhoro from tho wreck, say that If a two-Inch line had been bent on the spun ropo shot ashore from the wreck and caught by Lineman Logan, thero would have been a chance of saving many. Three lines were shot ashore, hut ono of which reached the cliff on which stood the three men. and all were thin spun rope. The second line' thrown was the only one which reached shore, and Line man Logan made fast and began to haul in when it broke, being unable to stand the strnin of the big hawser without an Intermediary line. Tho steamer Salvor Is cruising up and down the Coast near where the wTcck occurred seeking more bodies, and this morning at 11 o'clock the tug Wyadda. of Seattle, was seen heading -toward the wreck from Cannanah. CAPTAIX XOST ALU HECKOXIXG Headline Showed "Water Was Shoal ing When Crash Came. SEATTLE, Jan. 29. Testimony taken today before the Government Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers, in the investiga tion of the Valencia disaster, was that of Second Officer P. E. Pettcrson. of tho wrecked vessel; Ordinary Seaman John Marks, who was on duty forward when the ship struck, and F. J. Campbell and Charles Samuels, rescued passenger. Second Mate Pcttersof) said he was en the bridge with the captain when the vessel went on the recks. When the Val encia struck. Captain Johnson exclaimed: "My God, where are we?" and then or dered the helm put hard to starboard, at the same time signalling the engine room to reverse at full speed. TM eaud the vesael to round to before she struck th secend time. ' Pettereoft said that the nrt Mundings COMPARATIVELY SMOOTH SEA were taken at 6 o'clock in tho evening, showing a depth of more than 249 fath oms. At 10 o'clock he was of the opin ion, the witness said, that the Valencia was somewhere off Umatilla reef, and changed his course north to half east. At that time the lead showed CO fathoms, and thereafter until the ship struck the vessel was running at half speed. Asked by Inspector Whitney how the captain determined the vessel was off Umatilla reef, the witness said that the logs of vesseis northbound generally over ran the ships. "It was my first trip on the Valencia." said Peltcrson. "and the first mate said that the ship's log generally overran the distance 6 per cnt" The witness said the soundings indi cated that they were' getting further Into shoal wator all the time, and that the captain shaped his course further to the westward. The witness denied that there was any panic aboard the ship after she struck, but was of the opinion that had the pas sengers left the handling of the boats to the crew more persons would perhaps have been saved. The captain's orders, he said, were to lower the boats to the ship's rail to be held for emergency. F. J. Campbell was lu the second boat that left the slde'of the ship and landed on the rocky beach near the stranded vessel. He said that the nine persons to get ashore from the first two boats struck inland at daybreak without making any concerted attempt to rescue the pcoplo aboard ship at that time. The testimony of Marks and Samuels brought out no new features. The In vestigation will be continued tomorrow. Hccf Prevents a Landing. VICTORIA. B. C. Jan. 2D. The tug Ba hada left Bamflcld Creek this morning for the small bay discovered on Sunday by Lineman Logan and party near Darling River with a crew of Indians, to make a landing there and secure the bodies on the beach. The Indians would not attempt a landing, saying the sea was too rough. Captain Harris, then lowered a dory manned by a white crew and got quite close to the place where Logan reported a landing possible. On examination it was shown there was an outer reef and the dory's crew could not get through. The Safvojricft Bamflcld to return to Victoria at 5 P. M. F. F.

Every bottle of Dr. Pierce's world famed medicines leaving-the great labo ratory at Buffalo, N. Y., has printed upon Its wrapper all the ingredients entering Into its composition. This fac alone places Dr, 'Pierce's Family Medi cines in o clasSall by themselvc. They eannot be classed with patent or secret' medicines because they are neither. Thhi Is why so- many unprejudiced physicians prescribe them and recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities. The further fact that neither Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, thn great stomach tonic, liver invlgorator, heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his Favorite Prescription " for weak, over worked, broken-down, nervous women, contains any alcohol, also entitles them to a place all by themselves. Many years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, Is a better solvent and preserv ative of the medicinal principles resid ing in our indigenous, or native, medi cinal plants than Is alcohol; and. further more, that it possesses valuable medicinal properties of Its own, being demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient antifermont. Neither of the above medicines con tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit forming drug, as will be seen from a glance at the formula printed on each bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and potent to cure. Not only do physicians prescribe the above, non-secret medicines largely, but the most Intelligent people employ- them people who would notfcth!nk of using the ordinary patent, or secret medicines. Every Ingredient entering Into the com position of Dr. Pierce's medicines has the strongest kind of an endorsement from leading medical writers of the several schools of practice. No other medicines put up for like purposes' has any such professional endorsement. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets care con stipation. Constipation is the cause of many diseases.
