Selecting Jury
To Try Packers
By AsBOciated Press.
Chioaso, Dec. 7.—Hope that the Jury
to try the ten Chicago packere In
dieted for alleged vitiation of the
Sherman anti-trust law would be ob
tained with little delay was increased
in court today by the rapid ‘eixamina-
tion of veiremen in the opening ses
sion.
Indications were that only a few
days would be occupied by the gov
ernment in finding a satisfactory
pannel uid it was reported the defense
would be equally as rapid.
Ten of the govwnment'g^ thirty
peremptory challenges had been ex
hausted at the opening of court.
Eleven men were in the Jury box
w'hen court convened. Six of these
were farmers. It was believed attor^
neys for the'defense would exercise
their peremptory challenge to elimi
nate as many farmers as possible.
Louis H. Heyman, Arthur Meeker
and Edward Tilden were the only de
fendants present. The other seven
were attending their dally business af
fairs at the stock yards and it was said
would only attend court at intervals
during the examination of jurors.
Their presence. Is not compulsory.

The Federal grand jury, which was

Winston-Salem, N, C., Dec. 7.—^The
Thomasvilie Baptist orphanage and
state missions claimed the time of the
Baptist state convention this morn
ing and the cljjnax of the convention
was reached. The report of the trus
tees of the orphanage showed that the
past year has been one of success. The
health of the children has been good.
The moral and spiritual atmosphere
is of a high type. The needs of the
orpanage were presented, the super
intendent, M. L. Kesler urging espe
cially more dormitory room, saying
saying that almost every day requests
are received for children to be admit
ted which cannot be received because
of lack of room. Recently W. B. Rog
ers has been secured,as field agent of
the orphanage and the representative
of Charity and Children.
The report of state missions recom
mended that $50,000 be raised the com
ing year to carry'On the work of state
mission. Among the many things em
phasized, special attention was called
to the importance of establishing the
Baptist denomination firmly in all the
centers of the state where the state in
stitutions of learning are located. The
work of the Baptist denomination he
said is to life the whole state into
touch with the whole life of Christ.
Mr. Johnston said also that he con
sidered many of te papers of the state
press had degenerated into mere sys
tems of social sewerage and he. hoped
the time would soon come when these
would attain a higher plane. He said
although that he did not want to see
the Y. M. C. A. take the place of the
church and that unless such church
buildings are erected as should be, the
danger is the state will become “Y. M.

Delhi, India, Dec. 7.—One hundred
and ■ one guns roared out in imperial
salute here today, welcoming to Delhi
the king-emperor and queen-empress
on their arrival from Bombay for
the durbar.
Entering tne city through the
king’s gate, opened for the first time
since 1857 when the king of Delhi
went to public worship, the rulers
gaze was arrested by a picture of
splendor in which ran the rich, ero
tic colors of the Orient against a
brilliant background of Western
hues.
The scene first unfolded at the
railroad station in the Selingarh bas
tion of the fort. At dawn this
became the mecca for those of the
coronation camp and the city.
Equippages which vied with eacn
other in splendor passed along roads
crowded with Indian princes, mili
tary officers and government officials
and streams of natives went the
same way.
The route to the durbar camp was
lined alternately by British and in*
dian' regiments.
In providing guards of honor and
esc9rts native troops were also given
an equal share with British soldiers,
, Elaborately Received.
The king-emperor and the queen-
empress were received on the elab
orately decorated platform by the
viceroy, the governors and heads ot
provinces, the commander-in-chiel
and a number of high military and
.civil officials.
After ggries. ^f- .presentations
th&' majesties proceeded to a pavil
ion ^thin a wall of the-fort, where
160 ruling chiefs were introduced.
This brilliant ceremony, with its gor^
geous display of Jewels Ind richly
colored garments occupied consld*
erable time. Meanwhile the provincial
legislators had gathered on the ridge
by the durbar camp to greet the
royal party.
Procession to Camp.
Then began the great procession tcf
the camp, four miles away. Through’
out India a holiday had been d»
creed and great numbers of native^
had gathered to get a' glimpse ol
their emperor and empress. They
formed a striking background to the
gorgeously uniformed procession,
which was headed with lancers with
hands playing. Th«i came the her^
aid in silk and gold tabard «m-
blazoned with the royal coat ol
arms, and sixteen British and naOv«
trumpeters, all mounted on blacH
chargers. Next followed the native
escort of the viceroy, in scarlet and
gold, preceding the imperial cadet
corps >compoB^ mtirely of prlnoes
and their sons. Their majesties anl
the viceroy’s suites succeeded.
As their majesties approached
command to present arms was pass^
ed along the line of troops, European
spectators took off their hats and
the natives bent, deep towards the
ground. The king-emperor, the queen-
empress and the viceroy bowed righi
and left in acknowledgement.
Splendid Costumes.
The bodygtiard of Indian prlncei
who followed immediately after, onW
shone in splendor all that had pass*
ed. -In Strict order of precedence
came 150 Maharajahs,, Rajahs Na-
wabs and other chieftains. The col
umn was closed by a band of sav
age looking Afghanis and Pathan
chiefs mounted on wild ponies and
a detachment of native and British
troops.
On arrival at the camp the troops
defiled past the Imperial carriage, re
ceptions followed and the king-emper
or was presented with a brief ad
dress of welcome.
Their majesties and the viceroyal
party then repaired to their camp
of which Circuit House, built by
Lord Curzon in 1903, is the center.
Picturesque Camp.
The vast camp stretches along tne

rows of white tents, almost blinding
in the vertical Indian sun, while the

Washington, Dec. 7.—B. H. Qary,
^ead of the United States Steel Cor
poration, testified before the swiate
committee on interstate commerce, to
day, that he always believed that it
was ^tirely legal for competitors to
come together and mutually disclose
their business conditions to steady and
bsJance trade, without making an
agreement on prices.
He urged a federal commission au
thorized to consider management,
character and extent of corporations
«LTni to permit certain pooling arrange
ments when conditions warranted
“No corporation can reach a-perma
nent success In this country unleaa it
is willing to recognize at all times the
public interest and welfare,” said Mr.
Gary.
He reiterated that business firms
must be given some means of knowing
what is an “unreasonable restraint of
trade" before they take any steps that
might wiAkft them liable to federal pros
ecution. „
“I would have the law explicit,
said he, “and permit the corporaUon
commission to say what agreements
would be permitter. Such agreements,
approved by the commission and made
with full publicity, would be in the
public interest, preventing business
demoralization.
“No corporation has the right to ob
