The BIG MEAT COMBINE.

The rumor that Mr.. John n. Rookie
feller. the Standard Oil millionaire.
and probably the most successful bust
ness man in the world. had entered
into an arrangement with the meat
packing combine whereby they are TO
be consolidated and their operations
greatly extended appears to be accept
ed as true. although it lacks authentic
confirmation. Mr. Rockefeller is be-
lieved 10 have a large amount of un-
employed capital. and as he is not on
posed on principle to monopolistlc
combinations, there is nothing i'm
probable in this report 1t is the gen
eral understanding, and the contention
.ot the government. that the packers
have been combined for long time.
although they ostensibly operated as
separate and Independent business
houses. II is certain that they have
not competed and no doubt exists that
they have dictated and controlled
prices If they consolidate-m make
themselves a single corporatlon-they
will not be trust in the legal sense of
the word.
The Chicago Tribune advises the
packers not TO consolidate. 1t tells
them the plain truth that IF a gigan
tic corporation. controlling or believed
to control the packing industry of the
United States is formed, it will pro-
woke criticism far more ferocious than
that which has been lavished upon the
United States Steel Corporation or the
standard Oil company The reason
for that is plain. While steel and oil
are necessities, they do not come so
near being indispensable as meat does

him until finally the poor man decided
that life was not worth living under
these circumstances, and that he might
as well tell the secret and die. After
reaching this decision he happened to
hear two roosters conversing in the
barnyard. One Of them said: What
poor. weak creature our master Is. He
can not manage one wife. while We
have no difficulty in managing a
Dozen" The man took the hint, went
into the house, gave his wife sound
beating. and lived happily ever after.
But that is not the way Brigham Young
did. He put one wife against another,
probably. and all the trouble was
among themselves, and he escaped.
The Salt Lake convention of the
widow Youngs is to be an annual af-

vigor. But let us hope that the ladies
will forget old sores and not dwell too
much on irritating reminiscence.

pessimism too highly, and mistakes
the freaks and vices OF the pampered

ARRESTED BESIDE COFFIN.
MAN ACCUSED OF MURDER FOUND
KNEELING BY DEAD CHILD.

A mothers demand for justice on the man
whom she believes to be responsible for the
death of her led to the arrest OF Frank
Ernest. a janitor, of No 80 West End-ave' last
evening, under unusually pathetic circum-
stances. When the policemen went 10 arrest
the janitor they found him kneeling beside the
coffin of his six-nonths-old child.
Ernest is technically charged with being
suspicious person, but back of this, the police
say. is 4 far more serious charge. lie Is ac-
cused of causing the death of Herman Kern
seventeen years old, who died at his home. No
221 West Sixty-second-st.. j ,uary % last
II was supposed that the boy died from Brights S
disease a certificate 10 that effect being signed
by DR.. De Koelbe. of No. 354 West Forty-sec-
ond t. but it is alleged by Mrs Kern, the
BOYS mother that Ernest assaulted her son
on Sentember %. 1901, al SiXtieth-st. and West
End-ave. She charges that he struck the boy
on the head with an iron bar.
When the janitor was taken before the desk
in the West Sixty-eighth-st. station he was
broken by sorrow over the death of his child
and with ars in his eyes begged to be allowed
70 go home until the funeral to-day Captain
Kear his own voice breaking, said that the
charge was one on which bail could not be ac-
cepted.
At this the mans cries increased. You can
not hold me for that" he almost shouted My
God. am absolutely innocent Of the death OF
that young man. He fell while was trying TO
eject him from the pooroom which was closed
IN He was intoxicated. and as ne was gong
ont fell and struck his head against pool
table ...
The police say that the case Is a mysterious
ono to them and thew cannot understand Mrs
.,ern's delay in having Ernest arrested They
saw that the boy wac found on the night of the
alleged assault in a seni-ConsCious condition IN
a shanty near West End-ave., and sent by a
policeman of the West SiXty-eighth-st station
TO Roosevelt Hospital There. according TO MS
mother the case was diagnosed as paralysis
and he was transferred to Bellevue Hospital
After treatment he sent home, dying on
January % Mrs Kern SAYS that two days be-
fore her sons death he told her of the assault
by Ernest
The police learned last evening that John
Harris of No 222 West Sixty-first-st., says
that he saw the assault on Kern In the mean
time Ernest denies the crime, and his friends
are irving to secure his release that he can
attend the funeral OF his child. which has been
postponed pending their efforts
