T Uurprs Tell Why They Voted "Not Guilty" on Monop- " oly Charge. CNsUonal Nsws Association) ; CHICAGO, March 28. The reasons stated by the jurors for their verdict of "not guilty" on tba monopoly Charcot again the . tea Chicago meat packers were atmply-nhat the evidence bad shown that the packers had not violated the law. Judson E. Harvey,. of Wilton Center, foreman of the Jury, a grocer, said: "We obeyed the. court s instructions to disregard the high cost of liv:ing problem, the question of small profits to the packers and their wealth. We decided the case solely upon the 'evidence." "I decided in accordance with my : conscience and best Judgment," said Adam S. Clow, of Plalnfleld, a farmer. "There certainly was a whole lot said about a few facts. But noneiof us could find that the defendants could be conivlcted on such evidence." "There was no one thing upon i which we hinged the verdict," said i Jacob Glelra. or Ottawa, a baker; "We did not believe the packers had violated the law and that was all." The electric effect of the verdict in i clearing away the cloud of misunder standing and the resulting prejudice was seen in the cordial good-fellowship which was shown by the defendants, the attorneys for the government and the defense, the jurors and Judge Carpenter when the formal order had been.entencd and the terrific tension of the long trial was ended. J. Ogden Armour met -United States District Attorney,. Janien H. Wilkerson. in the hall and the hand-shake with which they mutually agreed "that there was no hard feeling" disclosed how completely the verdict had cleared the air among tlie men closest to the situation which was presented in facts and figures to the patient jury. Both -sides had agreed that It was as intelligent a Jury as could have been (desired. The overwhelming mass of I Intricate .figures and their relations to fthe cost of meat to the public had been given the closest study and the 'verdict was accepted as a decisive I vindication of the bssinesB methods .of the big Chicago packers. In general Jaidgraent has been suspended among' business men awaiting the Jury's decision and the acquittal lifted a great burden of depression and foreboding .not only from the boulders of the packers' themselves but from those of all men prominent In business in Chicago. James B. For. gan, president of the First National bank, said: "The verdict clears the 'skies of a cloud -which has hung over the city's leading enterprise. The packIns industry has; so important a part in Chicago trade and its activities are so inter-related with other lines of business that Chicago, as a whole-will benefit from the vindication by the Jury." A statement Issued by Louis F. Swift after the verdict was announced expressed regret that the public had inot the same opportunity as the Jury jof learning the detailed facts of the packing; business.. "Mucb interesting vldenceahas been produced during the trial as a volume of sales and profits," Mr. Swift said. "I want to emphasize the difference between percentage of profits on sales and percentage of earnings on capital. The public's In terest lies, In the profit made on sale, the amount charged, as one might say 'for service rendered.

This unique photograph was taken as Mrs. Philander C. Knox, wife of the Secretary of State was being swung aboard the Cruiser Maryland, in a curiously contrived "trolley chair" while the Secretary's party was paying a diplomatic visit to Acajuatla, San Salvador. The peculiar formation of the Pacific Coast at this point and the unusually rough condition of the water made it impossible to leave or reach the Cruiser by means of a launch or row boat, and it was necessary to string a great cable from the ship to the land, and send the distinguished visitors ashore by mean 8 of the trolley chair.

"The people realize I believe the economic part of big business when no abuse is made of the bigness to do a public injury through unreasonable profits or the creation of a monopoly."

HARRISON FRY TO GIVE EXHIBITION Harrison Fry, conceded to be the best trick and fancy skater In this city, who also holds the state championship for speed, will give his second exhibition of this week at the Coliseum this evening. Fry is to give three exhibitions this week. One of the most difficult tricks which Fry executes is jumping over five chairs. He starts from the east end of the rink and makes a very pretty jump over the chairs. Another difficult feat which he performs is jumping over two chairs and turning around in mid air. Fry also skates around the rink on one skate; on the front roller of each skate, and on a pair of skates which have but one roller each. A large crowd witnessed his exhibition Tuesday evening.
