CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED Federal Judge Carpenter, in Passing on Demurrers of Defendants, Dis- agrees With Their Contention That the Protection Promised Covers Acts Committed Since 1906. Chicago, March 23.—The indicted Chicago packers lost their fight against going to trial on the indictments ob- tained by the government several months ago when Judge Carpenter, in the United States district court, over- ruled tkeir demurrer to the changes and held that the immunity granted by Judge Humphrey of the federal circuit court in 1906 did not apply to the present charges, whic}x, he held, were based on evidence not included {in the Humphrey decision. Judge Carpenter's decision occupied nearly an hour in reading and went into the controversy relating to im- munity with great detail. In brief the packers’ position was | that any. conspiracy that might have existed was the plotting prior to Judge Humphrey's immunity decision and that the immunity from prosecu- tion granted them extended over all | tuture time, so long as the acts cov- gred by the 1906 decision remained the same. In deciding this Judge Carpenter ruled that the immunity granted then was only for acts which had occurred prior to' the date of the indictment, and could not pertain to any unlawful act which was performed after thnt time. The evidence given by the pack- ers before the ‘grand jury, he said, could not relate to that which had not occurred, and hence could have no future application. i As to the contention of the defense that the comspiracy ended with first plotting the court ruled that so long as the acts complained of continued the conspiracy remained in effect and un-| lawful acts growing out of the con- spiracy and occurring after the indict- ed men had testified before the grand jury were new and separate offenses | and subject to the operation of law.

New York, March 23.—Back in New York, the picture of health, after his annual “training” in the South, Rich- ard Croker declared that he will ac- cept no challenges to tackle the Unit- ed States senatorial deadlock at Al- bany. “Of course, it is true,” he said, “that this deadlock is hurting the party. Everybody is saying that. The longer it lasts the more harm it will do. It should be understood that the party is more to be considered than any indi- vidual. But nobody will be able to drag me into this fight.” Mr. Croker sails on April 5 for Ire- land. BIG GUNS LINE THE ROAD have not resumed operations.
