Did Xot Wrfht to Show Profits Unless
Compelled Three More AVit-.-.nesscs
Say Garfield Prom
ised Immunity.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3L The most interest
ing Mature of the evidence In the packers'
case today was the admission of Edward
W. Morris, vice-president of the Fair
banks" Canning Company, that his unwill
ingness to turn over his books to Com
missioner Garfield was due to the In
junction forbidding the packers to com
bine and the unsuccessful -attempt of Dis
trict Attorney Morrison to extract from
him an admission that thoso books con
tained Incriminating evidence.
The other witnesses were Ira X. Morris,
brother of Edward, also of the Fairbanks
Company; and Edward F. Swift, vice
president of Swift & Co., both of whom
declared that they had been assured by
Sir. Garfield that none of the informa
tion life secured from them would be
turned over to the Department of Justice.
Edward W. Morris testified to some
small matters on direct examination, and
then was turn'ea over to District Attorney
Morrjson for cross-examination. He ad
mitted 'that he was a director, of the Na
tional Packing Company.
"Did Mr. Garflcld'a report show any of
the profits and losses of your company?"
The Fairbanks Company.)
"Xo, It did hot"
"When you first met Mr. Garfield, why
did you not tell him at once that he
could examine your books? You knew
Tic had the power to compel It?"
"I "wanted to consult with my attorney
and report the interview to him."
"Why were yoa not willing to turn the
books over?"
"I did not want to do it unless I had to
Co it. There was an injunction against
us."
This reply of the witness referred to
the Injunction issued by Judge Grosacup,
of the Federal "Court, which, in effect,
enjoined the packers from combining in
restraint of trade.
"Was there anything in those books
to show you had violated that injunc
tion?" A chorus of objections greeted this
question.
"He said that he did not want to give
up these books," said the District Attor
ney, "and I want to know if there is
anything in them which might Incriminate
him."
Judg6 Humphrey ruled against the
qucbtion, declaring that the present case
Is 'so closely allied to a criminal case that
great advantage might be taken la the
main case . of the testimony, secured In
the .present hearing.

Court-Martlal Will Suspend Trials
During Examinations.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 21. At the
opening of the courtmartlal this morning,
the Judge-Advocate read a letter from
Superintendent Sands, In which Captain
C. P. Rees, president of the court, was ex
cused from duty temporarily and Com
mander Valentine S. Nelson, the next
member in rank, was assigned as presi
dent. Captain Rees has been called to
Portland (Mc.) by the death of a son, his
only child. The proceedings of yesterday
in the case of Midshipman George H. Mcl
vin were approved.
On the conclusion of the trial of Mid
shipman Detaussure, the court took up
the case of Midshipman William T. Boyd,
jr., or Peoria, iil, a member of the sec
ond class. Boyd chose to exercirc the
right of defending himself in his own
person.
It was announced that, when the trial
of Boyd has been finished, the court
martial will adjourn for two weeks to
avoid Interference with the examinations,
which began today. The prospective ad
journment of the court-martial is partic
ularly pleasing to the members of the
first class, as it will insure the fact that
all of them who have not been tried so
far will graduate, even Jf they subse
quently have to face charges.

In Colorado City there is a 13-year-oIJ
girl who is rapidly becoming known t
persons from all parts of the United
States. Her name Is Jennie Barr, and he'
father owns a livery stable near the en
trance of the Garden of the Gods. Dur
ing the busy season little Miss Barr act?
as a guide to parties taking trips on
burros through that wonderful park. Sh
manages these stubborn little animals tc
perfection, and can tighten a saddle girtli
or adjust stirrups with" the greatest ease.
Her manner is graceful and shows a re
finement somewhat out of harmony with
her environment. The tone of the aver
age guide Is monotonous, and his descrip
tions stereotyped, but with her it fs dif
ferent. The places of interest are point
ed out with genuine pleasure and -her ex
planations of the freaks of nature show
originality and intelligence beyond her
years. The burros ridden are hired from
her father, and no charge is made for the
charming little guide, but the average
tourist is so attracted by her wlnsome
ness that a substantial tip is forthcoming
In this way the girl adds quite a large
sum to her savings bank account.

The British Weekly prints interesting
reminiscences of a man now living in
Scotland, who in the middle of the last
century saw intimately a number of our
Amcrcian literary celebrities. Hawthorne's
reserve piqued him. "Nathaniel Haw
thorne." he complains, "had nothing to
say to anybody I can remember. He waa
cither proud or very diffident." Nor did
Emerson fare much better. "I never met
Emerson." he says, "but once, and he did
not impress me favorably. He could be,
sarcastic, and perhaps unpleasant, and
some of his remarko were very caustic."
Hawthorne would shut up like an oyster
in an uncongenial atmosphere. The Brit
ish critic whose chief claim to distinc
tion In his old age is that Hawthorne
and Emerson did not find his personality
engaging, must have been an impossible
sorC of a person. Emerson treated even
well-known bores with a gentle serenity
that provoked his friends. But the remi
niscent gentleman himself throws light
on the occasion of the only recorded In
stance of Emerson's Wing "sarcastic"
and "unpleasant," He sau:
"Poe was one of the most fascinating
men I have ever met. I always went to
him with the utmost coniidence, and I
have moot vivid recollections of going and
looking up into his face and pleading.
