WASHINGTON CITY. Dec 10-There were
some willing witnesses examined yesterday
by Senator Vests dressed beef investiga
tors. As showing how the "Big Four
divided the business, DR. c. B. Purvis, sur
geon-in chief of the Freedmen's hospital,
swore that Armour Il Co have the contract
TO supply beef and that it is delivered in the
wagons of four different firms in terms of
about week each
Crushing a Competitor.
William H. Hoover testified that be is
butcher in Washington City; has been since
1872. He said that Mr. e. Carroll told him
last spring it would not he wise for him to
bid on government contracts, for if any of
his friends got any part OF those contracts,
the Chicago beef men would not sell witness
any meat and would drive him out of the
market Witness, however, did bid, aud Sc
cured some small contracts, whereupon the
threats outlined by Mr. Carroll were carried
cago frms-Amour & Co, Swift & Co. and
Nelson Morris-would sell witness meat, nor
any Of his friends who tried TO purchase for
him.
Sinuous. to Say the Least.
Complaint was made to the Chicago house
direct by witness, through an attorney Ar
mour Co and Nelson Morris answered,
saying that they did not countenancs any
such proceeding. In order to test the gen
illness of these disclaimers, witness
took a friendand endeavored to buy
meat of the representatives of these
Chicago firms, but could not do
So at the market rates The agent
showed him some fore quarters land priced
the meat at and 8 cents per pound. He re-
fused to take less Ny brother Samuel went
directly afterwards and brought away some
OF the same meat at cents per pound, ask
ing, as YOU see, three times as much of me
Mr.. Porter, of Armour a. Co, said they had
no meat for sale, but sold to others before
and after l called Mr. Varnell could not
take less than cents for meat worth about 2
or Pa cents Mr.. Lynn, of Swift & Co,
asked and cents for common fronts of
beef
The above testimony was corroborated by
George NJ. 0mohundro, Washington City
salesman for Nelson Morris, who swore also
that he had instructions from his firm not
to sell TO Hoover except at prices above the
market price
The Investigation Scared EN-.
A peculiar fact came out Just here, and
that was that the boycott lasted about six
weeks and then was lifted. The popularity
here is that the lifting of the boycott was
simultaneous with the beginning of the in
vestigation- Any of 'em will sell to me

that his instructions to charge higher prices

boil. She did as directed, but when the
dinner hour arrived the sweet pota-
toes were not done They were boiled
still longer, and then were not done
They were then baked, with no better
success. Finally the mother went to see
how many such tubers she had. Going to

was solved when she found that her daughter
