The Claim Made That the Syndicate Has

on the Last Issue.

CHICAGO, lay ga special to the
Post from Washington says: The dis
covery is made that there is an actual
basis for the report that the Morgan
Rothschild syndicate is oonspiring to
corner the gold market, though the
story has been regarded as a foolish
Canard. 1t is fact, however, that
brokers representing this syndicate have
been paying a premium for the refined
gold Of the private refneries for the
last two months and they are accumu-
lating fine gold at the rate of s., 400
900 to IS. COG, 600 per month, which rep
resents fully two-thirds Of the entire
gold output Of the United States. The
attention of officials of the treasury was
attracted to this business by the sharp
falling off in the deposits of gold at tho
mines, and inquiry soon developed that
private parties were buying the pro-
ducts of the refneries. Further in.
quiries revealed that the metal was pur.
chased and was drifting to New York,
where it is being put in store to the
credit Of the Morgan othschilds syndi-

being Intercepted as to Mr.. Armour's
statement Of au average constant loss
Of between II and IS cents on each head
Of cattle slaughtered by his house dur

no criticism to make as to the veracity
Of the statement as far as it goes.
"But," Le added, Mr.. Armour separ-
ates tho dressed beef department from
the transportation trade aud from yari-
Gus departments Of his business which
are all closely related. 1t is currently
rumOred and generally believed that
the firm of Armour g Co. have about
5000 refrigerator cars rolling over the
various railroads Of the United States
carrying dressed beef to their custom
ers. And some wiekedly curious people
declare that they cannot tell when they
buy dressed beef how much of the
money goes for transportation and how
much for meat. Possibly if Mr.. Ar
mOur viii state the losses incurred by
his firm in the transportation of beef
during the same period Of time that ne
covered in stating it's losses upon beef
itself, the further losses OF that firm
would 50 excite public sympathy that
those who eat beef would eat the more
and those would eat it. too, who never
ate it before However, until it is
known what the losses OF Armour g
Co. are on the business of their refriger-
ator cars in carrying dressed meats the
public may refrain from tears.

INCOME TAX GASES Oh TRIAL
Arguments Open Before a Full Bench
In the Supreme Court
COUNsELs' ARGUMENTS LIMITED
Justice Jackson Assumes Practically the
Position OF Umpire in the Cases
Whitney Follows Guthrie.

WASHINGTON. May 8.-The supreme
court, with its fun membership Of nine
justices on the bench for the irst time
IN many months, began the heung
Monday Of the income tax suits. Justice
jackson Of Tennessee, who has been ab-
sent from Washington the greater part
Of the past year, seeking restoration Of
health, took his seat with extraordinary
interest attached to his presence, since
he assumes practically the position of
umpire upon the vital question of the
principle on which the law is based,
which divides the other justices into
equal factions. Justice Jackson did
not appear to be feeble, but it was
plainly evident chat he was far from be-
ing a well man and thatonly by a strong
effort could he sit throughout the hear
ing. Most conspicuous among the spec
tators in court was Postmaster General
Wilson, the chairman of the ways and
means committee that framed the tariff
act Representative Mcmillan Of Ten
nessee, chairman of the subcommittee
which drafted the income tax pro-
visions and ex.Speaker Crisp of the
house.
The attendance of lawyers and others
having an Official interest in the matter
was noticeably smaller than at the first
argument of the law and after the usual
contingents of casual tourists had salts
fed their curiosity to obtain a sight of
the prominent men, the courtroom was
not crowded. But two arguments are
to be made for each side-by Attorney
General Olney and Assistant Attorney
General Whitney for the government
and by ". D Guthrie and Joseph II.
Choate for the appellants, who are
Messrs. Hyde and Pollock. Mr.. Guth-
RE delivered his speech and Mr.. Whit.
ney began his, which he will finish to-
day. As the time assigned is five hours
to each side, the arguments will be
closed by Wednesday afternoon.

Obliged to Paw a Premium.

In order to divert the stream from its
usual channels leading to the United
States minis, the private purchasers
have been obliged to pay a premium Of
116 to ~ cents. The premium paid for
most of the gold was q cents, but so
anxious have been the buyers to in
crease their lines and get everything in
sight that they have marked up their
quotations during the last few days. At
the present time they are getting praoti-
cally the entire United States product, ex-
Oept the western coast. Many long headed
men in Washington and Wall street,
who are familiar with the methods of
the parties of the syndicate, have
jumped to the conclusion that the
foundation is being laid for another
bond deal before congress meets again.
The last bond deal of $4,000, 900 has
been pretty well closed out, over S51, =
100000 in sold having been paid cut Of
the $64,000,0O0 and it is believed gener-
ally that the entire deal will be cleaned
up before Aug. I.

Under the terms Of contract with the

that may be issued by the government

If the president does not want to
