SOME GIVE UP READILY
Government Has Direct Evidence
Agalnrt Morris Some Packer
Make Claims for Damage
Caused by Own Cars.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1. (Special.) The
Burning of new lines of Investigation by
the Federal grand Jury In Its Inquiry
Into the packing Industry caused Assist
ant District Attorney James H. Wllker
nn to abandon the holiday vacation he
had planned today, and he spent the
day closeted with VT. A. Ryan, special
investigator for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, In an examination
of records of shipments of Morris A Co.
over several railroads. District Attor
ney Blms also remained in the city and
kept in close touch with h'-a office.
Tackers Sorlclt Kebates.
The Government's theory that rebate
have been solicited by packers, though
frequently refused by railroads, was
confirmed by five files of damage claims
furnished by a railroad this week. Of
these five claims, which were for sums
of about $100 each, four were turned
down by the railroad In question, which
Is one that Is strict In Its requirement
that damage claims shall be supported
by affdavits showing that there can be
no question that the goods shipped were
damaged in the amount asked.
A wide diversity of requirements Jn al
lowing claims has been discovered since
the investigation began. Some of the
roads reguire. affidavits' to accompany
roads require affidavits to 1 accompany
the claim, together with invoices and
reports of the prices at which the goods
were actually sold. Other roads have
allowed damage claims on bare state
ments, unsupported by affidavits.
Some Roads Require Proof.
The roads which are most thorough in
their investigation of damage claims will
not allow claims unless the goods re
ported to have been damaged have been
Inspected by one of their agents before
delivery, an absolute requirement being
that the claim for damagei be made in
time to permit this inspection. From
road enforcing strict rules It la not
hoped to find that rebates have been
actually patd in the form of damages,
tut it is the expectation of the Govern
ment that the solicitation of rebates may
be shown.
Damage Dne to Own Cars.
Another avenue of inquiry has been
opened in that claims appear to have
been paid by the railroads for damages
to meats shipped in car belonging to
the packer and that the question of
whether the liability for the loss rested
upon the railroads or upon the packer
Mini to have been Ignored. If delay
In shipment and consequent damage to
meats resulted from a breakdown of a
car owned by the packer, and If the
breakdown was not caused by any fault
of the railroad. It is declared that the
railroad could not legally be held liable.
The payment of damages in such cases
win be considered by the Government as
4he payment of rebates.

(Although close friends of Francis J.

Work of Arson.
FRESNO, Cal., Jan. 1. (Special.)
Burglars early this morning entered
the house of John Soranno, a carpenter,
residing at 1520 Calaveras street, and
after ransacking the place, set fire to
a bed and made their escape, leaving
the place to be destroyed by the flames,
probably in the hope that all evidence
of the burglary might be destroyed.
The burglary was evidently the work
of amateurs, traces of their work even
being found In the yard by the Bre
men, and later by the police. Mrs. So
ranno lost a pair of eaxings, a watch
and chain and other gold trinkets,
while Soranno lost his best suit of
clothes and other garments.
Despite the fact that the fire was
not discovered until 8 o'clock, the fire
men are certain that it was set about
4 o'clock In the morning, and that the
house was not destroyed they attrib
ute to the fact that the doors and
windows, wherein stood the burning
bed. were tightly closed and prevented
fresh air from entering.'

WASHINGTON'. Jan. 1. President
Roosevelt and 6000 people, represent
ing every land and every state and ter
ritory In the Union today, exchanged
a Happy New Tear greeting at the
"White House. For three and a half
hours the President stood receiving his
guests and when the reception was
ended, last year's record of attendance
had been broken by over 700. Many
men and women distinguished In the
official and social life of Washington
were present
A shadow of sadness was cast over
the company by the recent terrible ca
lamity which has fallen on the Italian
people, whose Ambassador was present
as the dean of the diplomatic corps,
And by the absence of the representa
tive of the Emperor of China, who is
wearing a badge of mourning for the
late Emperor and Dowager Empress
of his country. To Mr. Roosevelt the
occasion was memorable beyond any
in which he has participated since his
elevation to the Presidency. In the
exchanges of salutations there were
many references to, the events of his'
career during the coming year, when
he will face the dangers of the African
wilderness.
Official Family First.
The first greetings of the day were
extended to the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt by the Vice-President,
members of the Cabinet and their la
dles, without the least show of for
mality. These felicitations were ex
changed in the private rooms on the
second floor of the mansion.
While the Presidential party was
gathering above there was another
assemblage in the state dining-room
on the first floor. There, In the pre
scribed attire of their respective coun
tries, were the diplomatic representa
tives accredited to this country. The
central figure in this company was
Baron Edmondo Mayer des Planches,
the Italian Ambassador. The greet
ings extended to him were character
ized by manifestations of sorrow over
the dire calamity under which his
countrymen have so recently suffered,
rather than the usual salutation at
tending the first day of the year.

ATLANTIC SERVICE
TO SAN FRANCISCO
HAMBURG-AMERICAN LIXE WILD
RUN THROUGH CANAL.
Special Facilities Will Be Provided
for Immigrant Farmers to
Reach West.
SAN FRAXCTSCO. Jan. 1. (Special.)
One of the first steamers to go through
the Panama Canal will be a big Hamburg-American
liner, carrying immigrants
direct from Europe to San Francisco.
Agents of the great German steamship
company have been in consultation with
officers of the Department of Immigra
tion concerning the facilities at this port
for accommodating a big influx of Immi
grants. It Is said that the plans of the
company contemplate establishing a reg
ular steamer service between Europe and
Ban Francisco via the Isthmus of Pan
ama. At first, steamers will be cleared
probably only once a month, but as the
patronage Improves, and It la confidently
believed that It will be characterized by a
prodigious development, steamers will be
run more frequently.
The present conditions of Immigration
are said to be unsatisfactory both to the
United States Government and to the
steamship company, inasmuch as Euro
peans who are distinctly agrarians and
agriculturists, are unable to pay for the
long rail trip necessary to reach suit
able places of living.
It is also reported here that at an
early date an independent line of
freight steamers between this port and
Panama, where connections will be
made with the Panama railroad and the
Government line of steamships on the
Atlantic coast will begin operations.
The contemplated service would re
quire 24 days between San Francisco
and New York.

The military court today pronounced
41 death sentences, of which nine were

perate, many persons being killed.

EX-GUARD CHARGES
AT BUTTE
Johnson Alleges Most
Brutal Conditions.
SAYS FINISH FIGHTS ALLOWED
Appeals in Vain to County
Court for Investigation.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACTIVE
Charge That Grover Duffey Was in
Reality Murdered by A. E. Knause
Will Be Taken Before Grand
Jury Too Cruel for Guard.
Charges that mismanagement and a
persistent course of brutality at the
county rockplle, resulting In the murder
of one prisoner and the serious Injury of
several others, were presented to the
District Attorney's office yesterday. As
a result of information furnished by Spe
cial Officer Johnson, a guard at the rock
plle, the police were busy last night look
ing; for A. H Knause on a charge of
murdering one of hla fellow prisoners,
Grover Duffey.
Although Knause's term of sentence
was not yet up, so the authorities say,
he was released by Superintendent
Brlggs of the rockpile, and is said to
have left the country.
Brlggs' name Is coupled with, the affair
from the fact that he Is alleged to "have
witnessed the fatal assault at the rock
plle and to have made no efforts to in
terfere. When an order was presented
from District Attorney Cameron for the
detention of Knause, Brlggs had to admit
at once that he did not have the prisoner
in custody, but explained that the fel
low's time was up yesterday morning, ac
cording to his calculations.
Court Said Not to Act.
Because of practices in vogue at Kelly
Butte, Guard Johnson informed Mr. Cam
eron that he did not Intend again report
ing for duty. He said he had reported .
the' facts to the County Court, which
has the management of the rockplle in
band, and that court refused to take any
action.
"Knowing that there was no way to
remedy or better the fearful conditions
that exist out there I have decided never
to go back again," Johnson said. He is
now on a brief leave of absence, and to
in good standing, so that he may report
for duty If he desires.
"It's hard to give up a good job in the
middle of the Winter," the guard said,
"but I cannot countenance the things
that go on there and especially the bru
tality that la permitted among the pris
oners." The alleged murder which i now be
ing investigated occurred late In No
vember during the strike in which the
rockpile force, refused to go to work be
cause of differences with Brlggs. All
the prisoners were locked in their quar
ters without food and had not eaten for
a period of 43 hours when Duffey weak
ened and suggested going back to work
rather than be starved.
Bully Attacks Smaller Man.
It Is known, aside from what Guard
Johnson revealed, that Duffey was im
mediately attacked by Knause, a bully
whose physical prowess had won him
.the position of "Sheriff of the Kangaroo
Court," a prisoners' organization which
is a power at the rockplle. Duffey, a
small man, was beaten fearfully and
Brlggs declined or failed to interfere.
Guards Johnson and Moorehead then
took the matter into their own hands,
brushing past the head of the establish
ment and entering the Jail, Moorehead
with a revolver and Johnson with a
shotgun. They rescued Duffey from the
prisoners and, as he said he was willing
to work, assigned him to duty in the
kitchen.
Two days later the man began com
plaining of Internal pains, which grew
so severe that County Physician Geary
was notified, but he did not respond at
once. Some hours later Duffey's condi
tion became such that a carriage was
sent for and he was taken to the County
Hospital, where he died the next day.
The County Physician said the fellow
had been suffering from bowel trouble,
which caused death, and so signed the
death certificate.
Brutality Cause of Strike.
"I don't doubt that he was suffering
from bowel trouble," Johnson informed
Mr. Cameron, "for after the way he
was kicked and beaten about the sides
and stomach I was not the least bit
surprised to see him dead. Inside of
four dais from the time of the assault.
"I saw the entire affair, and decided
then that I would leave unless some
thing was done by the County Court to
help matters," Johnson continued.
"Never have 1 seen such brutality. It
was nothing new to see men beaten.
In fact, that strike of the prisoners
was caused by Brlggs beating a pris
oner and then having him thrown into
the dungeon.
"The Kangaroo Court got indignant
and came around to say that the pris
oners demanded the release of the man.
Briggs wouldn't release him. The
rest of us. maintained that Jail disci
pline demanded putting these fellows of
the Kangaroo Court in a dungeon, but
he wouldn't do that. Instead he locked
all the prisoners in their cells and left
