Causes Surprise
EMBASSAOOR BACON
RESIGNS HIS POST
1
News Comes as a Surprise to
Oflicials of State Depart
ment' at Washington.
PARIS. Jan. 11. Robert Bacon, em
bassador of the United States at Paris,
today confirmed the report of his resig
nation. Mr. Bacon said that he wished to
make it. plain that his work at Harvard
would be acllvo service, which would
take practically all his time; that alone
necessitated the giving up of the em
bussadorship, which he naturally surren
dered with rrgrd.
MV. Eacon's departure will bi greatly
regret Led by the American colony in
Paris, where he had made himself ex
tremely popular, and in diplomatic cir
cles, wheic lib qualities are highly ap
preciated. WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. News of Mr.
Uacon's resignation came as a surprise
to officials of the state department and
o White house officials, who had not
hesitated to discredit the first rumors of
the resignation based upon the election
of Mr- Bacon yesterday to the Harvard
university board of overseers,
Mr. Dacon's letter of resignation had
not reached President Tnft tonight It
was recalled today that during his brief
vi3it to this country last summer Mr.
Bacon indicated to some of his friends
tiiat he had become wearied because of
the social requirements of the Paris em
bassy. It was also noted that .T, P, Morgan,
who arrived in Paris a. few days ago,
was a guest of the embassador, and those
who recalled the fact that. Mr. Bacon
formerly was associated with the finan
cier in business were quick to' sense a
possible renewal of the old tinicp. The
news came so suddenly that there was
scarcely tiino today to develop the poten
tial strength of the embassadors of lesser
station and the various American minis
ters who, by right of seniority, might as
pire to fill the vacancy to be caused by
Mr. Bacon's retirement. Of the outsid
ers, the name of Otto Kannard of New
York was the first to be broached in con
nection with tho vacancy.
Secretary Stlmson's name also was
mentioned and Jn the slate department
itself thero waa some talk of Assistant
Secretary Huntington Wilson.

PROSECUTION LOST
Government Witnesses Repu
diate Former Testimony,
but a Transcript Is in Pos
session of Attorney.
By International News Service.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11. After three gov
ernment witnesses had repudiated
their former sworn testimony and
deserted the prosecution In the beef
trust case. District Attorney Wllke
pon today made the defense sit bold up
righl by dangling under the noses of two
witnesses a transcript of their testi
mony before the grand jury and giv
ing them an opportunity to "refresh their
memories."
The sinister suggestion of the perform
ance left the court room In an atmos
phere of chilled sllenc and memories Im
proved instanter. One witness continued
to forget and he was dismissed for the
present,
The government has let it be known
that no notion will be taken at present
in any apparent case of perjury, but at
the close of the trial a real upheaval
is expected, "investigators arc already
busy comparing the testimony of wit
nesses before tho grand Jury with their
sworn statements on the present hear
ing. Records Disappear.
One startling development was the dis
covery that full sets of books of the dif
ferent packing concerns which had been
scrutinized by one or more grand juries
have disappeared. Those of 'Morris & Co.,
which were returned to that company In
1000, were swallowed up by the great
vaults In tho company's office and have
not been seen since. Tho packers were
actually surprised, they say. to find upon
investigation a few days ago that cart
loads of these books have disappeared
Into thin air.
Harry A. Tintmlnj, chief accountant
for Morris & Co., was the last witness of
the day. He said he kept the records
of tlie two sorts of costs which arc used
in tho business of the company, the one
the memorandum cost, which Is used as
a basis in selling beef, and the other the
bookkeeping' cost, which Is used as the
basis upon which annual statements arc
ma.de.
He had learned a lesson from the care
with which tho government compared the
testimony of the former witness with his
grand jury testimony and was able to
remember his three performances before
that body. Ho remembered Identifying
tho records showing the cosL accounts of
the company, but said that he haxl been
unable to discover the records since rhcy
were returned by the government.
Must Refresh Memory.
Previously, H. I. Moyer, statistical
wizard of Armour & Co., had reported
that similar accounts of that firm had
disappeared about tho same time and in
the aarao mysterious manner. Both were
sent home with ordcra to come Into court
tomorrow refreshed in memory and
armed with documents to show what
they hud been doing for threo years pre
vious to tho reLurn of tho beef trust in
dictment. Kdgar KothsoJilld. Moyora asslplanl,
chewed ciim for an hour and repeated In
an undertone, "1 don't remember," un
til DiatricL Attorney Wllkcreon thund
ered; "Don't you remember that you
presented to the grand Jury a jiapcr
bearing the basis upon which thin test,
cost was figured and that you said tho.t
at that time Armour was making: no al
lowance for sides In figuring cost?"
"1 didn't produce any paper." said
Rothschild, grinning and failing to take
the cue- Me wu9 mado to repeat tha
denial and then District. Attorney Wll
kcreon made a heavy underscore on the
grand Jury record ho hold, smiled and
dismissed the witness.
Rothschild said that he used the fig
ures referred lo 100 limes a day for
seven year.", but he could nol be r.ure
about a single one of them,
Tho government has subpoenaed
seventy-five of lh packers' employees,
200 Independent packers and butchers
and commission men :uwl about twenty
government Invrstigalors.
Tho dcfenne is expected to subpoena
fully as many. If each witness con
sumes but half the average time of the
eight, witness heard thus far. It will
require 600 court days to finish the
case.

CHICAGO. Jan. 11. The twelfth day
of the longest and severest cold
spell In tlu history of the local
weather bureau tonight left Chi
cago with all transportation sched
ules abandoned.
Elovcated and surface cars were op
crated over snow and ice-covered rails
whenever possible, but without regard to
time schedules. Trains entering the cltv
arrived. In some instances, more than a
day late. A special on the Cnicago. Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad, which ar
rived in the city In the evening, was
thirty-two hours late.
Karly In the day snow began falling
and It continued until late at night. A
cutting wind from the northwest not
only caused drifts to form, buL carried
more suffering lo those who were com
pelled to face it than the o degrees be
low cro temperature.
Rather than leniency, new records for
low temoeraturcs are predicted bv the
weather bureau. From all parts of the
country came reports tonight of a fur
ther falling of the mercury with the
temperature ranging from zero to -11 de
grees below.
Worst Yet to Come.
The weather forecast for tomorrow and
Saturday promised cvon colder weather,
bringing- the long-contlnncd below zero
conditions to a record, of fourteen days.
The mercury will hover around 10 degrees-
below zero tomorrow, possibly
lower.
Early in the evening the various trans
portation companies abandoned fnclr op
erating schedules. Scores of laborers
were put to work at slrccl Intersections
in an effort to keep the snow and Ice
from utterly stopping traffic.
Moro than a hundred snow plows were
opeiated most of the night on the sur
face lines. On the elevated lines steel
brushes were attached to the third rail
devices, which helped to assist In clear
ing the charged rails of the lee and
snow.
AH of the railroad stations reported
transcontinental trains long overdue
The delay ranged from two to thirty
two hours, the latter being the Tacoma
spechii of the Chicago, Milwaukee .t St.
Paul railroad.
Mails Delayed.
It was reported from Washington, D.
C, that the recent delay In transport
ing mail lias been greater than ever be
fore. Most of the dcluy. the postofft'ee
authorities declared, was due to the
storms in the middle and far west.

President Fallieres Tenders the
Place to -'Former Head of
French Cabinet.
PARIS. Jan. II. President Kalliorcs
has decided .to offer the premiership to
r.eon Bourgeois tomoriow. but as M.
Bourgeois undoubtedly will decline for
reasons of health, the president must look
elsewhere for a man capable of forming
a cabinet and insuring a republican ma
jority. M. Ltourgeols Is at present in the sen
ate. ITe has held I ho position of -premier,
minister of foreign affairs, minister
of public-. instruction.-.minister of t'nc In
terior, minister' of justice and president
of the chamber of deputlos. Others men
tioned as most likely to receive the call
to the .premiership ' are cx-I'rcmicr
Brland Al. Doumergus. who was minister
of colonics ln the Combes cabinet, and
Raymond Polncare. senator for -j Mouse,
who has held numerous ministerial po
sitions. It Is doubtful whether M. Delcase.
who yesterday was appointed foreign
minister prior lo the resignation of the
cabinet, would accept the premiership
even if il were offered htm. Several of
his friends. .Viowcver, nredlcted tonight
that he would not decline the office.
Kn -Premier C'lemcnccau. who was
largely lesponsible .for th present over
throw, apparently Is barred by his criti
cism of the Franco-Gerinan'accord,-which
' all parlies recognl-e. must siiecdlly be
ratified. U is. believed, however, that
Al. Dekaase. Al. Polncare and Al. Mll
leiand.' ex-minister of public works, will
enter the new cabinet in Mime capacity.
It is a lour time since a ministerial
ehamrc'has e:;cilcd such Intense interest
In franc..';. The general trend of. opin
ion is t.hat t'nore must be moro united
action in parliament if, the government
hopes lo carry out Its policies. The
Temps places the chief blame for the
crisis on parliament . which. It says,
practically U th same -parliament as
that which sacrificed Delcasue In 100f.
Tho conusorvatlve Journal. Dcs do
