Philadelphta, Sept. 6.—The city election assessors, who number more than 1,100, opened the various polling places in this city during the day to make additions and corrections to the voting lists for the November election. ‘When the polls opened nearly 2,000 policemen detailed by the department of public safety were distributed throughout the city under orders to note any attempt of the assessors or others to pad the lists. The work of the assessors is at- tracting unusual attention because of the charges of election frauds and ex- traordinary padding of the voting lists with names of fictitious voters that have been made since Mayor Weaver broke with The Republican organiza- tion four months ago. The police department has prepared a list of more than 60,000 alleged bo- gus names. An affidavit has been ob- tained in each case and these were | presented to the various assessors when the demand was made to strike them from the lists.

PACKERS WILL FIGHT SECURE CONTINUANCE GF BEEF TRUST CASES AT CHICAGO UNTIL SEPT. 18:| MAY AVOID ‘PLEADING AT TfiAT TIME EXPECTED SOME ACTION WILL BE TAKEN TO ENJOIN THE " PROSECUTION. | Chicago, Sept. 6.—Government pros- ecution of Chicago packers for alleged violation of the anti-trust laws was scheduled to begin during ' the day, but instead there was delay, On mo- tlon of Attorney J. S. Miller, repre- sentinw the packers, the hearing of the cases was postponed till} Sept. 18. The courtroom in the new federal building was filled with lawyers and spectators. TUnited States' District Judce Otis Humphrey presided. At- torney General Moody, with District Attorncy Morrison, Assistant Attorney Generzal Pagin and Assistant District Attorney 1lwood Goodman | occupied one table, while Attorney Miller and his associate counsel seated them- selves at another. Attorney, Morrison announced to the court that the pack- ers had been notified to plead and that their counsel was present for that purpose. Attorney Miller then arose and said: “The district attorney has given meé notice as well as the defendants to plead here today. The notice came Friday. Saturday was a holiday and Monday being Labor day we could do nothing. It is still vacation season -and anyway the notice was a surprise to the defendants. I do not,in a way, represent all of the defendants and the matter of selecting counsel is still under consideration, - Many of the de- fendants are away, as well as some of the attorneys, and we now| ask that the government does not press the matter of the motion to plead until Monday, Sept. 18. At that ttme every one will have returned and the courts will be open. I hope that counsel will agree to the pfstponement and we will ask nothing further. I pre- sume the defendants will take some actoir which will- precede qm matter of pleading. “They might move to qua)sh the in- dictments, enter a plea in ghatement or proceed by demurrer to the indict- ments. We have not yet definitely settled what action to take and in view of this unsettled conflition we ask that the matter be conm\ucd until the 18th.” & | . Government Grants Request. “The request of counsel is not un: satisfactory or unreasonable.” said District Attorney Morrison, “and the government is satisfied.” “Let it be so ordered,” replied Judge Humphrey. “The matter of pleading is continued until Sept. 18.” The attorney general was reticent in speaking of the matter, but de- clared that he is not desirous of put- ting tke packers to any inconvenience. “I do not know, of course, what the packers intend to do between now and Sept. 18,” he said, “but I suppose they will seck to enjoin the prosecution. I never heard of suth a proceeding be- fore, but I do not know why such an action could not be taken. Of course L camnot say what judge they would select in making their advances be- cause 1 know nothing -of their plans. The government will push the cases as rapidly as possible and 'still con- sistently and without prejudice.” After the case had been continued Attorney General Moody, District At- torney Morrison and Assistant Attor- ney General Oliver E. Pagin held a conference in ‘the district attorney’s office. The attorney general again took up a discussion of the procedure in the case in view of the 'apparent attitude of the packers. It is probable that he may send other assistants to the district attorney when ithe case comes to trial. Attorney - General Moody has learned that each of the twenty-one-packers and prohably the five corporations who were! indicted will be represented by individual coun- attorneys the government’s: position may be attacked on many technicall-\ ties. % Lates it was stated authoritatlvely that within ten days Attorney Miller and his associates will apply to the federal circuit or appellate court for an injunction restraining the govern- ment from prosecuting the defendants for conspiracy.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.—Neil Wolf, secretary of a Philadelphia automobile company, and Miss Mamie Hamill, daughter of a prominent citizen of Germantown, were killed in an auto- mobile accident at Atco, N.

Duluth, Sept. 6.—Eighteen or twenty lives were lost and property valued at $500,000 was destroyed in the furi- ous storm that swept over Lake Supe- rior. The gale was the most destruc- tive to lake shipping that has, been experienced in many years. Besides the wreck of the steamer Sevona, which broke in two on Sand Island reef, seven of the crew losing their lives, it i5 now.believed that two more ships -were lost: with their entire crews.. One of these is the schooner Pretoria of Bay City, Mich., the larg- est sailing ship on fresh water and carrying a crew of ten men. The other is believed to be the schooner Olive Jeanette, which carried a crew of seven men. Five of the Pretoria’s crew of ten were drowned by the capsizing of the yawl in which the crew took refuge when the boat began to founder. The Olive Jeanette, it is believed, went to the bottom about ten miles from Portage. The new steel steamer Stakhu ar- rived at-the Soo on her first trip with her hatch covers so badly sprung that ‘water poured continually into the hold. One of the crew was washed over- board. The whaleback steamer Samuel Mather also lost one of her -crew overboard. The terrific- battering the steel steamers received in the storm gives rise to the gravest fears for the safety of many wooden ships which have not yet reported. The monetary loss of the Sevona is placed at $170,000, while that of the Pretoria is estimated at $150,000. BAIL FIXED AT $40,000. Wealthy Chicagoan Charged With At. i tempted Murder.

Achten was arrested in a wood near his home an hour after the attempt on the young man’s life and was taken to Kenosha. The hearing was con- tinued for ten days, pending a change in the condition of the young man. Bail was fixed at $40,000. Domestic quarrels are said to have led to the stabbing. BEARS = BLOCK TROLLEY.
