MARKS END OF HARD PROBLEM General Reyes’ Surrender In- dicates Mexican Peace. WILL OCCUPY PRISON CELL Order to Bring Rebel Commander to the National Capital and Place Him In That Portion of the Penitentiary Set Apart for Political Prisoners Has Been Issued—Number of Small Revoits Have Recently Sprung Up In Reyes’ Name. Mexico City, Dec. 27—The end of the week probably will see General | Bernardo Reyes, who surrendered to the Mexican authorities, occupying a cell in the penitentiary of the federal district in the portion set apart for political prisoners. Ap order that he be brought to the Rational capital was transmitted by | the minister of the interior to General | | Geronimo Trevino at Monterey. The eommander of the third military zone Probably will assign an escort of | Turales to General Reyes and also give him a Safe conduct to Mexico City. The surrender of General Bernardo Reyes at Linares, Nuevo Leon, it is believed here, marks the end of the | most perplexing problem yet brought before the Madero government. Seem- ingly, all over the country recently have sprung small revolts and most | of them were in the name of the for- | mer military leader of the country. | His following in Mexico was consid- ered very strong for years and to this was attributed much of the apprehen- sion of the government when he start- ed his revolution. He formerly was governor of the state of Nuevo Leon and later commander-in-chief of the Mexican army. This last position he held for some time under President Diaz, holding the rank at the time of | the latter’ resignation. Diaz Sent Reyes Abroad. | _A few months prior to the outbreak j; of the Madero reyolution there. were rumors of a threatened outbreak egainst Diaz in favor of Reyes. Diaz then sent Reyes to Europe, ostensibly to study military organizations there. President Diaz recalled him when the Madero revolution became serious, but before Reyes reached Mexico Diaz had been forced to resign. Reyes then aligned himself with Madero and egreed to accept the portfolio of war in the latter’s cabinet when it should be formed Later he decided to run | for the presidency himself and Ma- | dero released him from his acceptance |of the cabinet place. The election, | held on Oct. 15, resulted in the over- | whelming election of Madero. Partisans of Reyes attempted to/| have congress nullify the election and failed. Reyes then left Mexico. going | trom Vera Cruz to Havana, thence ‘to New Orleans and finally making parted the loss was discovered by | of the anniversary in the churches of | headquarters at San Antonio. He gave Charles D. the police accuse of being the thief’s accomplice was arrested in the store. He gives his name as W. W. Wells and strenuously denies his guilt. BREN |S AGAIN INDICTED Another True Bill Minnesota “U” Treasurer. Another indictment has been re- turned at Minneapolis against Joseph | former treasurer of the Uni- | versity of Minnesota, already under in- | D. Bren, dictment on charges of being short more than $13,000. The indictment charges failure to turn over to the state treasurer public funds intrusted to him. Bren says he was robbed last spring | of $13,000 on the university campus. Aside from this there is also an al- leged shortage of nearly $1,000. Some money was turned over to the uni- versity by Bren after his arrest and | subsequent release on $15,000 bail.

Washington, Dec. 27.—The surren- der of General Bernardo Reyes came | as a surprise to both the state depart- | ment and the Mexican embassy, al- though it was generally believed that his capture was inevitable.

PACKERS REVIVE. IMMUNITY PLEA Defense Springs Another Surprise on Prosecution. JUDGE WANTS NEW POINTS Attorney Miller Makes Motion to Have Court Exclude All Testimony in Re- gard to Transactions of Beef Barons Prior to July 1, 1905—Court Inti- mates He Decided Similar Point and Defense Will Present Question in Writing. Chicago, Dec. 27.—When the trial of the ten Chicago meat packers under Indictment for criminal violation of the Sherman law was resumed before United States District Judge Carpen- ter counsel for the defense sprung a surprise on the government by reviv- img the famous immunity plea by which seven of the packers escaped possible conviction several years ago. Attorney John S. Miller, who suc- cessfully raised this point in the for- mer proceeding, used the argument in &@ motion to haye the court exclude all testimony in regard to the transac- tions of the packers prior to Juty 1, 1905. He said this testimony would be in- competent in the present trial. Judge Carpenter intimated that he had passed on practically the same ques- tion when he denied the plea of abate- ment before the beginning of the trial and he said he was not disposed to ehange his decision unless some new points were raised. Counsel for defense agreed to put their argument in writing and submit it to the court. Judge Carpenter an- mounced he would defer his ruling on the motion. Albert H. Veeder, attorney for Swift & Co. since the organization of the corporation in 1835, was the first wit- ness called by the government. He was on the stand throughout the morning session and admitted that the packers in 1900, 1901 and 1902 had an organization which met in rooms ad- joining his office and that his son, Henry Veeder, acted as secretary of the organization for two years. He said he never heard the name of the organization and had no knowl edge of the business transacted at the meetings. held every Tuesday after- noon: These are the meetings at which the government contends the price of meat was fixed by the old packers’ pool prior to the organization of the National Packing company in 1903.

MENTAL GYMNASTICS FATAL Physicians Believe Strange Talent Resulted In Death. Springfield, Mass., Dec. 27.—Physi- elans ascribed the hemorrhage of the ‘brain which Monday killed Arthur F. Griffith, the famous lightning calcu- lator, known on the stage as “The Marvelous Griffith,” to the arithmet- ical gymnastic work to which he had €o long subjected his brain. Griffith, a farmer’s son, was discov- ered in Elkhart, Ind., by a Chicago newspaper man and became a psyho- logical wonder. Almost as soon as the most com- plex arithmetical problem was put to him he could see the answer through the maze of figures. Some of the leading mathematicians in the world | teled to trap him, but failed. rents, Mr. and Mrs.-Charles Libbey, at Bast Milton, Mase. was equally em- phatic in a denial. Dispatchea quote her as saying: “It is absolutely without foundation. I have no intention of remarrying.” HUDDLE ON FIRE ESCAPES Firemen Rescue Many Guests In Chi- cago Hotel Blaze.
