TO BE FILED SOON.
Government Attorneys Preparing the
Bill for Injunction Against Al
legged Beef Combination.

Chicago, April 2s.-Legal action
against the big packers of the country
will be instituted in the United States
circuit court in this city during the
present week. A bill to enjoin acts in
restraint of trade" will be filed by coun-
sci for the government after full con-
sideration has been given to the evil
dence now in possession of the United
States district attorney, S. II. Bethea.
The district attorney and Special Coun-
sci William A. Day, representing At
torney General Knox, were in confer
ence all day Saturday. They declared
that it was of more Importance to the
people of the country thai the bill
when filed should be as strong as the
use of every particle of evidence in
hand could make it than that it should
be hastily brought before the federal
court. For that reason they took no
action Saturday, and would not even
set day for the filing of papers. An
other reason for their attitude is that
every day additional evidence, as al
legged, is coming to them, and their
case is being made stronger.
There is q possibility that the bill,
when drawn, will be sent to Attorney
General Knox for his approval, and
this would mean a few days longer
delay before filing. That, however,
has not yet been decided, and rests
with District Attorney Bethea to de-
termine. He has full power to start
"a 1c nF ~ Hhn
packers and their attorneys were as
silent Saturday as they have been
ever since the investigation of their
methods began.
The bill, when it is filed, will be
long document, with number of af-
fidavits attached, setting forth the
charges against the packers, alleged to
tice will probably be given the attor-
neys for the packers, though that is
a matter of courtesy rather than of
obligation. Then the packers will
have a certain time in which to enter
an appearance, and further time in
which to make answer, so if the de-
lays are taken advantage of the case
cannot be heard before June.
A single bill will probably be filed
against all the firms, and Judge Kohl
saat will probably consider it. Wheth-
err bill of similar nature will be filed
in New York at the same time that one
is filed here or later, has apparently
not yet been determined. 1t is said
that further action of criminal ma
ture against the packing house officials
and buyers is also matter for further
consideration, and probably will not be
determined until the injunctional
hearing is well along toward compile
ton. 1t is always to be reckoned, how
ever, as among the possibilities.

Morton was in a hospital for some
time. When he was able to do so, he
returned to his home in this city,
where he suffered a relapse. After
partial recovery he left early in March
for the City of Mexico, expecting to
restore his health. During his stay
in the southern country disease OF
the bronchial arteries developed and
he returned north. He suffered severe
ly on the return journey and reached
his home with his general health much
impaired. Three weeks ago Mr.. Nor
ton returned to Chicago in the hope
of securing the services of specialist.
His Career in Washington.
Julius Sterling Morton was in Washing
ton for four years as secretary of agricul-
ture in President Clevelard's second ad-
ministration. He was man OF steadfast
convictions, answering honesty ana IN
doubted ability. By nature contfoVer-
sialist, Mr.. Morton came to the cabinet with
many fixed ideas about the government
service He was a practical farmer, ana
ran his department along practical lines,
but nevertheless not without many squap-
bles. He regarded the distribution of seeds
as paternalistic, and on that subject found
himself in opposition to congress.
The eX-secretary was the author of Ar
Dor day. April %, which began to be OBJ
served generally during his incumbency as
head of the department of agriculture, ard
is now generally observed in all the states.
His constant motto was to plant trees,
having it stamped in large letters under a
picture of a tree on his stationery He was
an inveterate letter writer. He found keen
enjoyment in answering the conmunica-
lions from farmers, and it was no unusual
occurrence for him, to call newspaper men
into his office to read the answers he was
writing to farmers, often giving out por-
lions of them for publication.
The ex-secretary was exactly 20 years old,
Sunday having been the anniversary of
his birthday. He was of Scotch English
descent He was born in Jefferson county,
N. Y, but his parents moved to Michigan
when he was very young. He was gradu-
ate of Union college, New York. Mr.. Nor
ton was connected editorally, for a time,
with the Detroit Free Press and the Chi
cago Times, and then located at Belleville,
Neb.. in November 1854, where in April
following he issued the first number of
the Nebraska City News. He was elected
to the territorial legislature the same year
and reelected in 1857. He was appointed
secretary of the territory in 1858, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Thomas
B. Cunning, and served until May 1851 part
of the time as acting governor. He was
elected to congress in 1860, but was unseated
as the result of a contest. He was four
times nominated by his party as governo
of Nebraska, but was defeated each time.
