AGAINST BEEF TRUST
The Suit Takes One Step
Forward.
Demurrer Filed by Defendants, Technical Ad-
mission of Allegations Charged in
Bill Of Complaint. Y
(By the Associated Press.)


Chicago, Aug 4.-The government sui
against the alleged beef trust was SEN
a step forward here today by the filing il
the United States Circuit Court of de-
murrers of the defendants. both as in
dividuals and as corporations. The de-
murrers set UP at considerable Length
that the complaint on which an injunc-
ton is asked is insufficient. 1t is main
tanned that the suit is multifarious and
If allowed to stand would tend to con-
gest the business of the court. In specific
terms the demurrers assert that 'sc
much of the bill of complaint as asks a
discovery of the several interests OF
the defendants and their business meth
DDS has not stated such case as would
entitle the complainant to the relief
prayer for"
The effect of the filing of the demurrers
is technically to admit all the allegations
charged in the bill of complaint. The
argument advanced in support of the
packers position is that, admitting the
truth of the charge, no sufficient ground
has been shown for the issuance Of the
petitioned writ. The instrument wa!
signed by John S. Miller, counsel for al
the packers.
If the demurrer is sustained by the
court the original complaint may be
amended, and If overruled the defendants
have the privilege of answering. 1t is
not expected that any further steps viii
be taken in the case by either side unit
about October /, when the Federal judges
return from their vacations.

"As we'll attempt to set broken limb
