the other are the Cudahy brothers of
Chicago, shrewd, daring Spectators,
with backing of almost unlimited re-
sources
The Standard Oil trust is to be put
on the defensive. The Cudahys are the
attacking parties. They are going to
make a supreme effort to wrest from
the trust its gigantic monopoly. Many
times has the same attempt been made
before, but never has the trust encoun-
tered such formidable antagonist as
this combination of western capitalists
which now confronts it. Behind the
Cudahys are the great pork packing and
beef dressing magnates. Phil Armour,
with his great fortune; the Swifts, Mel
son Morris and the Fairbanks company.
They are not openly in the scheme, but
it is understood that they are interested
and will help to smash the trust if the
Cudahys need assistance.
For two years the Cudahys have been
preparing their forces for the encounter.
In 1895 they purchased the Indiana oil
fields. which the trust had either over
looked or ignored. and only the other
day they struck their first decisive blow
by securing as a customer for their fuel
oil the Yerkes Street Railway company
Of Chicago, which is one of the largest
consumers of fuel oil in the country.
The generals who command the at
lacking forces in this battle of millions
are John and Michael Cudahy, two of
four brothers, sons of an Irish imni-
grant who lived in Milwaukee.
Cudahy senior was a butcher by trade,
and he found employment in packing
house and afterward went into business
g. L.. A.
soon as the boys were old enough they
went into the slaughter house, too, and
learned the trade. John was given an
opportunity TO attend school for a few
years longer than the others, but by the
time he was Is he knew the packing
business and was making money at it.
In the meantime Michael entered the
employ Of John Plankington. whom the
Armours succeeded They sent him to
Chicago to manage a branch house, and
soon after John, who had been himself
highly successful in the business, fol-
lowed. That is how the Cudahys ap-
peared in the western metropolis. The
impression they have made on the bust
ness world there has been a deep and
lasting one. Each has had his own line.
John has been the bold operator on the
Stock Exchange; Michael the plodding,
faithful manager Of the Armour shops.
John Cudahy is a born. Spectator.
With a phenomenal shrewdness he piled
up one big fortune of several millions
by bold plunges in pork and lard and
gained the sobriquet of Daring jack
Cudahy. But this melodramatic title
was forgotten when. during the panic
of 1898, he went to the wall and his
millions were wiped out. There were

of the flaming letters was a big black
flag, duplicated after that of the
weather bureau
In less than two hours every school
IN the southern section of the city was
closed Women could be seen running
up and down the street, wringfng their
hands, men became panicky and all
through the section where the storm Of
last May held such a wild death dance
people trembled and prayed that a rep

the city; the atmosphere was sultry
and the elements seemed primed for a
tornado. Thousands of people sought
their cellars and stayed in them till
nearly nightfau- The telephones of
the weather bureau, police headQuar-
ters and newspapers were kept busy
asking if a dread tornado was irnni-
nent- Scores of prominent business
men rushed to their homes and to the
schools to get their children and gather

suits
The police were ordered to destroy
the placards, and when the Tornado

real thing, for the frightened south
siders vow they will dem0lish it On
South Broadway a half dozen women
who read the awful posters started to
run for their homes in such haste that
further along they fell PROSTATE on the
pavement. Many mothers went or sent
for their children at school. One
young woman returned from q private
school, saying that the principal had
dismissed the pupils that they might
reach their homes before the storm
came
