l"orntrp Armour Manager to Re One
of (KnrrnrariiCs Mar Witnesses.
Arrancement "Tcraportrj"
at Bet. Is Plea.
CHICAGO. Jan. Documentary
evidence that the price or meat was
f.xed and the business apportioned on
a non-competitive basis by the pack
era at their weekly meetings waa in
troduced by the Government today at
the trlitl of the 10 Chlcasto packers be
fore L'nlted States iJistrict Judge
George A. Carpenter.
Hpeclal Counsel Pierce Butler, for
the prosecution, read several letters
received by W. I. Nile, manager of
the Armour Packing Company in Kan
s.n City. In June. 1SS7. In which there
was given the accounts of beef to be
shipped to certain Kastern markets,
and there was named the price to be
charged, based on a mariein of 60 cents
on the uniform test cost estimate used
by the packers.
" nr Maaaser ta Testify.
The letters. which were obtained
from IV. I. Miles, former manager of
the Armour Packing Company, also
flatly refuted ine statement of Henry
Veeiler on the witness stand that no
meetings of the packers to fix prices
and apportion business were held be
tween April. 18S7. and January, lass,
when a statistical bureau was main
tained to compile records of meat
shipped and prices obtained at differ
ent points. Miles, who severed bis
connection wtth the Armour Interests
In 10J. will. It Is said, be one of the
star witnesses for the Government.
Letters dated June 1. 1897, read In
part:
"Dear Sir: This afternoon It was
agreed that each party will not ship
during the current week In excess of
shipments agreed upon for last week.
"Boston: At this point It waa agreed
that each party In Interest will not
ship during the current week In ex
cess of bla proportion of a total ship
ment of 100 cars, basing sucb propor
tion on the average weekly shipments
to Boston for the eight weeks ending
June . 1S7.
"It also was agreed that parties In
Interest would endeavor to obtain for
the currant week margins of $0 cents.
"Pittsburg: It was agreed that each
party In Interest would not ship In
excess of 90 per cent of the average
weekly shipment for the four weeks
rnded June Zi. 1857."
The letter contained, directions lim
iting the total shipments of the week
of June 19. 1897. to 32.:77.o:j pounds
of fresh meat, of which 2.000.000 went
to Boston and 712.913 to Pittsburg.
Similar letters were introduced by the
(Government and It was pointed out
that they all were unsigned and In the
form Henry Veeder testified the pack
ers' letters were written.
Letter Are Surprises.
After Attorney Butler had ques
tioned Henry Veeder. secretary of the
packers, reicardlng the detalla of the
combination from May. 1891. to July X.
I!i)2. when the witness said the last
rre:h-meat pool dissolved and he sev
ered his connection with the packers,
the Government sprang a surprise on
the defendants by reading the letters
ind offrrinK them In evidence.
Veeder previously said the packers
held no meetings during 'the existence
f the statlaticui bureau from April 1.
1.7. to January, 189S.
I'oes the reading of these letters
refresh your memory In regard to
an arrangement at that time covering
to y shipment of beef and fixing of the
margin price?" asked Attorney But
ler. 'No: although 1 do not question the
genuineness of those letters." the wit
ness said. "They Indicate that If there
was an arrangement It was of a tem

PERJURY LAID TO TWO
ex - rums or attorxky
YAXCKWICH 1XDICTKD.
Workmen Alleged to Have Sworn
1'alM-ly to Detriment or Lanyer.
Judge Ofeon Blamed.
Indicted Saturday by the grand Jury
on a rliarge of perjury, growing out
of discrepancies In the character of
the evidence v. hlrh he gave In Justice
of the Peace Hell's court and In Judge
Morrow's department of the Circuit
Court In cases Involving the profes
sional honor of Harry Yanrkm-ich. an
attorney. John Sherban was arrested
yesterday by Ieputy Sheriff Haider.
He Is he'.d at the County Jail In de
fault of liooo bail. Peter Petcoff. an
associate of Sherban in the railway
sub-rontracting business. Is yet to be
arrested. He has been Indicted on a
similar charge, growing out of the
same transaction.
Yanckn-ich blames Justice of the
peace Olson, against whom he was a
candidate for the office which Olson
holds, at the general election In No
vember, 1910, for the trouble which
arose between him and the workmen.
He aaya that Olson accidentally learned
that he bad aettled a claim for the
Roumanians and Induced them to pre
fer criminal charges against him. He
was arrested and discharged by Jus
tice of the Peace Bell, and the work
men then brought ault in Circuit Court
to recover f 493 from him. A Jury found
for the workmen, but Judge Morrow
set the verdict aside on the ground
that there had been no evidence to Jus
tify It. Judge Morrow and the court
reporters who reported the proceedings
. ;., 2
and
in both courts went before the grand
Jury In Yanckwlch's behalf.
A transcript of the evidence given
by the workmen In the Justice court
was kept and G. S. J. McAllister, ap
pearing for Yanckwteh In the civil suit,
used It In cross-examining them In the
Circuit Court. Justice of the Peace
Bell had discharged Yanckwich on the
strength of evidence given by the com
plaining witnesses In the Justice Court,
but when they came Into the Circuit
Court, after the lapse of several
months, they told entirely different
stories. Yanckwich waited until the.
grand Jury assembled and then took
the transcripts of the workmen's tes
timony in the two courts before It and
the Indictments for perjury resulted.
"You may say for me," said Attor
ney Yanckwich yesterday, "that I will
be a candidate against Olson for a Re
publican nomination for Justice of the
Peace next April and that I will tell the
story of this transaction to the voters
without any frills or furbelows and al
low them to be the Judges."
STRIKERS SOON QUELLED
Mayor Declares He Will Call for
Troops if It Is Necessary.
ROSEBURG. Or.. Jan. 2. (Special.)
In anticipation of a clash between the
strikers and strikebreakers similar to
the one which occurred last night, when
J. I. Call, a strikebreaker, was serious
ly Injured. Sheriff Qulnn and a full
staff of deputies, augmented by the
local police force and members of the
City Council, assembled in the railroad
yard tonight in order to protect the
employes as they left their work.
Apparently aware of the presence of
the deputies, the usual throng of strik
ers was not In evidence. With the
discharge of the Deputy Sheriff by the
Southern Pacific on January 1, about
60 atrikers assembled near the yards
last night and engaged In an alterca
tion with strikers. As a result. J. L
Call was knocked down and Injured.
Other fistic encounters followed and
finally the officers were forced to draw
their cluba In quelling the mob.
Spurred to action by the affair. Mayor
Mlcelll today notified the strikers that
they would necessarily have to abate
the practice of assembling near the
yards. In event of failure to act in
accordance with the Mayor's ultimatum,
the Governor will be asked to call
out the local militia company.
Mayor Mlcelll saya be is determined
that future demonstrations shall be
avoided, that the strikebreakers may
travel the streets unmolested. In this
he Is backed by the District Attorney,
Sheriff and a great majority of citl
sens. Following the action of Mayor
Mlcelll today, the Council tonight
passed resolutions condemning the
procedure of the strikers In molesting
the strikebreakers, and empowered the
Mayor to employ as many police of
ficers as necessary In maintaining or

Man Who Kun Amuck In Hotel, Iteg
lstcred as Dr. J. C. Day, Has Ef
fects of Wealthy Los Angeles
and Chicago Citizens.
Criminal insane, a man with a lost
Identity, "Dr." J. C. Day, who was
taken Into custody Monday night after
a stormy outbreak at a downtown ho
tel, has furnished the police a mys
tery to work upon. In which a bewild
ering mass of conflicting data con
fronts them.
From the great Jumbled mass of ef
fects in the possesion of the prisoner
several identities and as many careers
can be constructed, to support any of
the classifications.
Whether Dr. Day is also Frank C.
Smith, a supposedly well-to-do citizen
of Los Angeles, is the problem on
which Detectives Hyde and Kpps were
working last night. Papers In his
possession indicate that he either is
Smith or has come into possession of
Smith's effects.
Bank Books Carried.
Day had a "demit" from the lodge of
Royal Arch Masons In Chicago, dated
ls8. and he wears the charm of that
order. He also carried two bank books
Issued to Smith, shares in a lead and
copper company, a power of attorney
Issued by Smith to Nellie K. Bell, of
Fresno. Cal.. and a will leaving all the
testator's property to the same woman.
With these papers were 10 shares of
the stock of a realty company, with a
note saying that they were worth
$2000 and should go to the woman In
dicated in the wIlL Smith's business
address was given at 502 American
Bank building, Los Angeles. The de
tectives believe that Day Is Smith and
has forgotten his Identity or Is seek
ing to conceal it.
Other articles In possession of the
prisoner are two wigs and beards, a
purported check for $5,000 on the
American Savings Bank of Seattle,
drawn by John A. Miller In favor of
Day. travelers' checks In the sum of
$1000. issued In British Columbia to H.
H. Chase, a money belt marked with
the name of F. TV. Black, Soper Lum
ber Company. Chicago, a bundle of
papers relating to a mine located near
Grants Pass, and a large quantity of
morphine and cocaine.
Day Saya He Is Drug I'aer.
Day admits that he is addicted to
the ue of morphine to the extent of 30
grains a day. He has correspondence
with a sanitarium In Huston, Texas,
from which It appears he has been tak
ing treatment He also has many
papers showing that he has been in
Alaska.
The prisoner has pretensions to being
a literary man, and In his trunks Is
a great bulk of manuscript, of apparent
mediocrity. He had a copy of a letter
sent an Eastern magarine, offering a
series of articles to refute the attacks
of Reuterdahl on the American Navy.
The outbreak at the hoted occurred
after a bell-boy had caught Day com
ing out of a room not his own. He
shut himself up in his quarters and
brandished a revolver, holding the ho
tel people and police at bay till he
took a whim to come out. He Is an
elderly man, of dingy appearance and
poorly clad. He denies that he is
Smith and asserts that ho found that
person's effects In Victoria. Query
has been sent to Los Angeles to de
termine who and where Smith is.
COUPLE ARE EXFELLED
KCNAWAY WIFE AND SOULM ATE
FORCED TO LEAVE CANADA.
Move Is Kesult of Efforts of Wom
an's Husband, Who Spent For
tune Tracing Her.
WIVNIPKG Jan. 2. The story of
how J B. Snead. millionaire Texas
banker.'- after tracking his wife 1000
miles and spending $23,000 in the
search, overcame all obstacles in inter
national diplomacy was revealed today
when It was announced that his wife
and her admirer. Albert O. Boyee, of
Seattle, son of the cattle king of the
Southwest, would be deported from
Canada as undesirable persons.
According to Boyce. the charge of
grand larceny la trumped up to extra
dite him. and he claims that it could
never be proved.
The Texas authorities, it is said, con
tend that Boyce persuaded the woman
to give him her Jewelry, valued at $20,
000, but no trace of the Jewels could be
found here, and both prisoners, who
were patrons of a fashionable hotel, re
fuse to say what became of them.
Final action In the case will be
opened in Minneapolis Wednesday,
when the wife will be confronted by
her two children, her mother and her
sister.
Yesterday the husband had an Inter
view with Mrs. Snead. but it Is said
she declared she would not return with
""'snead said he wanted to take his wife
back with him; regardless of the past.
The woman claims she was Incarcerat
ed in an asylum and that Snead did not
give her a chance to explain.
She says she wants her children, Vut
her love for Boyce is so great that
she Is willing to give them up for him.
It is believed by the authorities that
the two have engaged counsel In Min
neapolis to fight extradition from Min
nesota. In their cells, however, they
refuse to converse about their affairs
and appear to be greatly downcast over
their failure to stay in Canada.
Snead and Mrs. Snead later left here
for Minneapolis. Boyce. the authorities
here say. will be deported later.
