CHICAGO BEEF COMBINE,
Agents of the Government Secur-
ing Evidence Against the
big Four"
Big Packers Accused of Forming an
Agreement to Buy Stock Only
at Fixed Price.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 6.-Kennesaw NJ
Lands, who was late the.Secretary Gresh-
ANS private secretary and who was recent
ly appointed byAttorney- General Harmon.
special attorney to prosecute the alleged
combination of the big beef-packers of this
city, has been summoned to Washington.
ostensibly to confer with Secretary Nor
ton and the Attorney-General regarding
the evidence obtained by the special agents
of the departments of Justice and Agri-
culture and as to the mode of procedure
against the alleged Violators of the anti
trust law.
Since Mr. Lands received his commits
sion he has been in daily conference with
the chief special agents of the Govern
ment and with District Attorney Black 1t
is known that strong cumulative proof of
the existence of beef combine has been
obtained in Chicago and the Northwestern
States within the last three months by
Edward Sheldon, agent of the Agricultural
Department, and half dozen deputies
Sheldon has made Chicago his headquar-
tiers and worked quietly with his men
among the shippers, buyers, commission
men and cattle-raisers who do business at
the Union stockyards and with the "Big
-Four, Armour, Motifs, Cudahy and Swift
These are the firms against whom The Fed
eral prosecution is directed.
The Acknowledgement has had agents in
this city and tie Northwest cooperating
with Secretary Morton's emissaries, and
although all concerned on the Government
side are usually secretive, enough has
leaked ont to warrant the assertion that
when the case comes to trial there will be
surprising revelation, In substance the
big packers are accused of having formed
an agreement not to buy stock except at
fixed price and not to bid against each
other After the smaller packers and buy
ers of fancy stock for the East and export
have made their purchases it is alleged
the big ones offer to buy at low figure
and appear Indifferent as to closing sales
When the stock is offered to another
packer it is said he will not bid higher
price, and the cattle-owner or the commits
sion man has no alternative except to sell
to stop feeding expenses

WAS A HEAVY DEFAWTER.
That Is Why Arno Korb, Bookkeeper With
Big Salary, Committed
Suicide.

NEW YORK. n. Y, Jan. 6.-It came
out yesterday that Arno Korb, who was
head bookkeeper for Victor & Achelis, and
| who committed suicide the day before
Christmas at his home, had robbed the
firm of many thousands of dollars. He
and his wife agreed to die together The
man died. but the woman gashed one
wrist a little and was partly asphyxiated
by gas which escaped into the room from
the tube by which her husband inhaled
enough to kill him. Mrs. Korb was soon
out of danger and was discharged in the
Police Court.
-Four days before his suicide Korb had
confessed to his employers that he had
robbed them, but only of about $4,000. He
had credit of $4,000 or $4,000 with the firm
and SAID he would make up the deficit.
Besides being head bookkeeper he was the
treasurer of the Underhill Knitting-mills
at Nutley, n. j., controlled by the firm,
His salary was $4,000.
1t soon became apparent to the account
ants that there were serious irregularities,
and after the suicide it was found that
there was deficit of between $4,000 and
$4,000. Investigation disclosed the fact
that he had bought railroad bonds from
time to time, and after much search by the
police these bonds to the value of more
than 600 were found in the hands OF a
number of brokers, where they had been
put for sale by Mrs. Korb, who had per-
sistently denied that she knew ANYTHING
about them
