This opinion was expressed today by
packers and board of trade men. Few
cared to openly voice their views
gloomy from a hord of t rade stand
point as they are although acknowl
edging that the situation Is a seri
ous one. On the board of trade, every
move of Ku rope an nations will be
anxiously awaited until the anti-trust
prosecutions pending In the courts are
finally decided.
Mama CiimI Be teasBaed.
The law of rupply and demand Is
the basl for th preiirtlon of the
packers and bord of trade men. They
declare tht If the American exporta
tion of meat and by-products Is cut
off and th- packers are forced to cater
to the domestlr trade alone, the price
of meat ran y be held up by a ter
rific dtspUy of "physical force." To
stem the slump would be as futile, they
say. as for one man to attempt to dam
the Mi!1ppl leiver at lis mouth.
The Tnited States produces more
n.t thn Is now used by Its citizens.
The work In man hs n forced to
cut down the ration to his family be
cause .f the exeslve price. To rid
themselves of this enormous surplus
ttv packers hav built up a great mar
ket abroad. 1 ns; la ml. Kussia, Japn
a nd Germany have been the largest
buyers.
Mack rrk Ks parted.
Little beef other than the canned
variety has been exported. The great
export business has been In pork, ba
ron, hams, lard and oleomargarine.
Of recent years Australia has en
tered the field as a btg producer of
ehep. In the past year Ireland raised
thre times as many hogs as in any
year previous, and Denmark a third
more. Argentine and other South
American countries have become the
cattle producers. The unlimited ranges
and therefore cheap method of feed
ing has placed them In a position
where they have given the Chicago
packers, who practically control the
t'nitd urates meat export trade, a
hard battle for supremacy.
The stock-raters and farmers will
b the real losers If a slump In the
domestic market take place. For sev
eral years they have been enjoying a
season of unrivaled prosperity.
Price Art Away I s.
Csttle. hogs and sheep have brought
prices in the market which have made
even the moat optimistic hold their
breaths. Ad led to this has been the
extremely liberal profit margin added
to the meat products by the packers.
Tne parkers "make no bones" about
who will get the first slashing If the
foreign trade Is cut off and a slump
in the domestic trade market results.
They Insist that thetr business Is be
ing conducted on a far smaller mar
gin of profit at present th.in any other
country. If a slump comes the stock -.-aiers
and farmers must take the
brunt, they assert.

decision that he Is a "ruling prince"

The suit in which the Oaekwar Is ac

THOSE WHO OPPOSE LIBERTY
TO LOSE OFFICES.
CongTPs Suspend. Civil Service)
I-aw, That President May Make
Wholesale Removals.
HAVANA. Dec. 17. While there Is
reason to believe that the movement of
the revolutionary veterans for the ex
clusion from public office of all men
formerly hostile to the cause of "free
Cuba" has not yet run Its course, the
saltation seems now to be presenting
a leas danrerous aspect than hitherto.
This evidently Is a result of the fact
that the veterans, numerous and well
organised as they are. and having be
hind them strong public sympathy,
have been able to bring the govern
ment to a compliance with all their de
mands. The belief Is expressed here that,
bad their demands not been acceded to,
the veterans were In a position to make
a demonstration of such force that the
government would have had to give
heed. It Is believed the army would
have stood by the veterans, and tills
doubtless Influenced ITest.lent Oomea
In moderating hia first altitude of op
position. One result of these conditions haa
been the adoption by Congress of a
bill suspendlnn the action of the civil
service law for six months, so aa to
permit the President to weed out all
officeholders obnoxious to the veterans.
While the leaders of the veterans are
willing to trust President Oomex to
puree the civil service of all enemies
of "free Cuba," the mass of their fol
lowers are now Insisting on the adop
tion of a law making forever ineligible
to public ofioe any but Cubans of ap
proved patriotism.
So far. the veteran movement has
been conducted In a most orderly and
systematic manner. except In some
country districts, where local officials
have been compelled to resign, and
where a few personal encounters have
taken place or a few threats of lynch
lna rr.ade.
What effect this veterans' movement
will have on the pen. ling Presidential
campaign. It Is difficult to say. Many
assert it precludes the renommatlon of
President Oomex. while others hold
that after matters have settled down,
his renomlnation. even despite his re
Iterated determination to refuse It, will
be Inevitable. ,
It Is evident, however, that the suc
cess of the veterans' campaign will
materially brighten the Presidential as
pirations of General Kmlllo N'unea.

NEW YORK. Dec. . 17. Theodore
Roosevelt, emerging from the Labor
Temple this afternoon, where he had
made a speech, could not find his au
tomobile, and while looking around
for another caused a crowd to collect
that blocked street traffic
Somebody shouted "There's Teddy"
and In a moment he was surrounded
by a throng that grew larger as the
Colonel strode along Fourteenth street
looking for a taxlcab. When two
policemen forced . their way Into the
crowd to find out what the trouble
was. the Colonel good-nsturedly ex
plained, and the police held up a pass
ing automohlle. It was a private ma
chine and the lone driver was for
going on until the Colonel took part
in the conversation. Meanwhile u trol
ley car had come to a stop behind tne
automobile.
Colonel Told a t.et Off the Track.
"Here, you," the motorman shouted
to the former President, "turn your
blamed machine up against the curb
If you want to get In. Don't you know
anything? Get off the track!"
With a grin for an answer Mr.
Roosevelt hopped Into the tonneau and
the machine bolted off amid the cheers
of the crowd.
Colonel Roosevelt made a religious
speech at the Labor Temple.
Kev. Charles Stelxle. head of the
Presbyterian department of labor, was
down on the programme to speak on
"How About the McNamara Case?"
but on the unexpected arrival of the
former President he cut short his ad

succeed him. About half of the audi
ence were Jews.
Religion Is for Masses.
"I believe In a living church." the
Colonel said, "hut not In a religion that
does not translate Itself Into activity

reflection that can be cast on any

MYSTIC SHOW PLEASES

Andirnee) at the Heillg.
Dr. Eddy, a medium who Is well
known locally through having ' ap
peared here at various times In the
past ten vears. gave a seance lust even
ing at the Helltg Thenter. An audi
ence that filled the auditorium, every
box Included, paid tribute to the In
teresting entertainment provided by
Dr. Eddy. His programme consisted
of a state-writing exhibition, table
moving. thought tranamlsslon and
"cabinet" tricks. As an evening's en
tertainment the event scored. Most of
the tricks performed were of the Her
man school, and one. the driving of
nails Into a chair seat, la admittedly
Anna Eva Fay's piece de resistance.
Dr. Eddy haa the distinction of being
at least a mystlfler. No one exactly
"knew" how It all was accomplished,
and good-naturedly accepted the mys
tery glad to be amused, particularly
clever was his last offering, the mov
ing through space of a large deal
table, suportlng the intf-pound weight
of one man. A Is customary at
seances, a committee picked from the
audience aaaisted the medium In tying
and untylnr knots, seeling wax on
apertures, tlmsng the mystic one's
movements and acting as general
mouthpiece for the audience.
Dr. Eddy held the close attention of
the spectators throughout the enter
tainment, and one trick followed an
other rapidly, with no attempt at ex
planation or reasons ss accompani

NO spreading of type Is needed to ac
centuate Interest in that medley
of cheer and tunefulness "Three
Twins," which opened a week's en
gagement at the Baker yesterday.
A well-filled house gave rousing wel
come a welcome that was all the mors
sincere, because the show started a
half hour late, due to late arrival of
baa-gage. The stage crew at the Baker
deserve a review all by themselves, for
In 30 minutes' time they completed
what usually requires two hours,
bringing- of haagage and scenery from
the station and getting the stage set.
But the audience was good-natured,
the orchestra did Itself proud with a
catchy repertoire and when the cur
tain rolled up everybody felt entitled
to the good time that even the first 10
minutes promised for the performance.
In chorus and voices the present pro
duction does not suffer In comparison
with any of Its twins that have been
here before. '
Ever since Its first advent this clever
comedy of mistaken Identities set to
music has been a favorite. This time
It comes with a good cast of principals
who get all that is possible out of the
situations and sonas.
There's the delightful novelty of the
-Van. Vsma" IdtlC. with Its OddlV COS
. , , m "hnrrthu men with cnees: o
tan." there's the same dear raeiouy 01
the "Cuddle" song and Its profession of
loves of all ages, there's the attractive
"whirling swing" number, and a host
of others, all of fond memory, and
without which "Three Twins" would
not shine.
George Ebner. a droll young comed
ian, gives a good reckoning of himself
in the role of Tom. the principal twin,
and as a side Issue offers a line of
"Imitations" of a street band, train
whistles, etc.
Oertrude Hutcheson. who is pleasing
to look upon, sings unusually well, par
ticularly in her high notes, and makes
altogether nice the character of Kate,
with whom Tom is in love.
Estelle Colbert, a vivacious little
maid, dances and sings happily as Mol
ly, the role we remember Bessie Clif
ford in.
Excellent character work, as a ner
vous old dyspeptic, who sputters and
fumes on any and all provocations is
offered by Ernest Geyer. In the role
of General Stanhope. Tom's father.
Meritorious work Is the German dia
lect and "business" of John Burkell.

Siafried Hartman, B. I'. G. N. C T.
Emily Burke gets lots of mirth out of
her audience because she makes so
much comedy as the "human sprink
ling pot." while Rose Delamater, a
winsome miss. Is sn interesting Isabel,
the General's ward. The roles of the
other "twins" in the st of "triplet
Toms" Is essayed by Charles Lawrence
and D. J. Osgood. All the settings and
costumes are up-to-date, the chorus
works hard and sings well and cer
tainly the show is worth while.
MAJESTIC FILMS INTEREST
Melodramatic Picture) Story Leading
Attraction In Good Bill.
Four Interesting films and the solos
of Harry Mayo and the Majestic quar
tet furnish pleasant entertainment
this week at the Majestic. "The Turn
of the Wheel" Is the story of a bur
glar who breaks Into the house of a
man who has Just learned that his for
tune has been lost In speculation. The
man i contemplating self-destruction
and haa left the room temporarily,
leaving the gun on the table. The
burglar extracts'the shells and lays the
gun back in its place. When the man
of the house returns, the burglar holds
him up and goes through his pockets.
The man shews him the telegrams,
whereupon the burglar returns the loot.
He tries to dissuade the other man
from his desperr.te Intention, but ap
parently does not succeed. Finally he
ties the man to a chair and gags him.
Then he tells the would-be suicide he
will return In three hours. When he does
return there is another telegram say:
Ing the fortune Is Intact. When this Is
shown to the man he has hysterics.
W hen he recovers he clutches at the
life-saving burglar and a final view is
given of the two discussing, presum
ably, how to spend the fortune that
wasn't lost.
"Her One Day's Dream" is one of
those rapturous Japanese love stories
with an American artist for the hero
and a geisha girl for the heroine. It s
the usual "Madame Butterfly" story,
played to slow music.
"The Little Chaperone" Is one of
those exasperating little girls that
wouldn't make two feet of film If the
photoplays were taken from real life.
Somebody would sit on her and sit on
her hard before the camera ever got
started.
Views of Genoa. Italy, furnish an

students of the art of that sunny land.
BRITISH PLOT IS SCENTED
German Paper Hear War Harbor
Was Menaced.
COLOGNE, Dec. 17. The Rhenish
Wesphallan Zcitung publishes a story
o'. the alleged discovery of a plot on
the part of Great Britain to blow up
Wllhelmshaven.
The Zeitung professes to have re
ceived Its information from one of the
best Informed postal officials, who
said that the postal authorities, be
coming suspicious of many money or
ders In favor of deck officers and chief
mates, finally seized some 'of the let
ters. These showed that the plans to the
entrance to Wllhelmshaven war harbor,
as well as plans of the water supply
and the contents of the secret code
book had been betrayed to the British
Admiralty.
The paper points out that with such
Information at Its command. Great
Britain could blow up the entrances
to the war harbor at the decisive mo
ment, rendering the harbor utterly use
less, and Germany, at the very begin
ning of war. helpless to defend her
self at sea.
To prevent the threatened danger,
the paper continues, a German squad
ron was for weeks on patrol duty. Re
cent conferences between the Emperor,
the minister of marine, the chief of
the admiralty staff and the chief of
the marine department dealt with this
danger.

and the secret signal codes of Wll
