TALKS OF TRUSTS
Chicago Packers Coming to Ask
Withdrawal of Suits.
COURTS PROTECT. INNOCENT.

Washington, May 5.-President
Roosevelt was informed that according
to kilograms from Chicago number
of big packers had started for the ma
tional capitol to urge withdrawal Of
the suit against them. The president
was further informed that the packers
were coming prepared to represent that
the business prosperity of the country
was threatened by the governments
action. The president will not order
the proposed suits withdrawn. He
said 30 in the most positive language
to officials who conferred with him. He
will not refuse to see the representa-
tives of the beef industry who come
and ask for an interview, but he has
not the slightest intention of permit
ting them to turn him from his course.
''This is very simple matter" the
president will say to the beef men.
''If you are not violating any law, you
have nothing to fear. The prosecution
will not hurt you. If you have not
received secret rebates from the rail-
roads, if you have not entered into
combinations to control interstate
trade or if you have entered into such
combinations without violating the
law, you need fear nothing. The pros
ecution cannot harm you. The courts
will protect you. If you are guiltless
you should welcome this opportunity
to demonstrate to the public your in
nocence, to present the facts to the
people. Instead of asking to have the
suits abandoned you should be thank
full that they were brought. If. on
the other hand, you have violated law,
by what right do you ask that you
should not be prosecuted like any other
offender?''
These are known to be the presi-
dents views. He does not conceal them
and he states them in these identical
words.
