had also been approved by the stats
superintendent of public Instruction, W.

friends of the educational institutions.
As Mr. Parkison had told me that
he had been acting with the committees
at McMlnnville and at Cottage Grove, I
requested him to present this plan to
them, Just as I had previously asked Mr.
U'Ren and others to present It to the
members of the committees.
'During the conversation, Mr. Parkl-

of personal financial loss, which he said
he had sustained through being obliged
to make good for fraudulent names he
claimed had been Imposed upon him. He
went Into details several times in re

$200 to pay for securing new names

"I again took tho discussion of the ad

Mr. Parkison soon interrupted me with
a question as to how I thought the

friends of all the institutions would
willingly make up the amount to him,

Chicago. May 12. J. Pgden Armou
and nine oilier Chicago packers. In
dieted for conspiracy and violation of
the Sherman anti-trust law, came today
measurably nearer prison cells when
United States Judge Carpenter here
overruled a demurrer filed by the pack'
ers attorneys and ruled that they mus
stand trial on the criminal charge.
The packers contended that the con
splracy clause of tho Sherman law, urt
dor which they were Indicted, was un
constitutional because It was vague and
indefinite and trie defendant were un
able to determine what was legal and
what was illegal.
Judge Carpenter, In overruling the
plea, said that the supreme court had
four times upheld the Sherman law. H
said the Indictments were sufficiently
lucid, and for his part he could not see
how they could bo made more definite.
After the ruling on the demurrer,
Attorney John 8. Miller for the packers
asked permission to file a bill of par

New York. May 12. Wireless mes-.
sages today sa,y that the steamer Me
rida, from Progresso, Yucatan, was cut
In two off Cape Charles this morning by
the United Fruit company's steamer
Admiral Farragut and sank In 35 fath
oms of water. Te Merid'as crew and
passengers were saved by her own and
the Farragut'a boats.
ihe collision occurred at I o'clock
this morning. The- battleship Iowa,
which waa anchored nearby, assisted in
transferring the passengers to the Ad
miral Farragut.
Owing to the damages sustained by
the Farragut, Its commander asked the
captain of the Dominion liner Hamilton
to stand by, as It might be necessary
to retransfer the passengers.
At 10 o'clock a wireless message was
received stating that the captain of the
Merida, the first officer and four mem
bers of the crew, were not on board the
Admiral Farragut. Whether this means
that they perished is not known.
Later the battleship Iowa and the
Hamilton, convoying the Farragut, start
ed toward Norfolk. Twenty-two of the
Merlda's 1S7 passengers boarded the
vessel at Progresso, 88 at Vera Cruz
and 77 at Havana.
A wireless received this afternoon
stated that the passengers had. been re
transferred from the Admiral Farragut
to t,he Hamilton of the Old Dominion
line and that the latter vessel was nbw
steaming toward Norfolk. The collision
occurred in a dense fog and the officers
of the Merida babely prevented a panic.
A wireless from the revenue cutter
Seneca says that Captain Robertson, the
first officer, and four members of the
crew who left the Merida as it sank,
escaped. They were reported missing
in the earlier reports.
