TO STOP THE COMBINE
STILL AFTER THE PACKERS
The Illinois Attorney, General Pro-
poses to Take 81 Hand in
the Matter.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Springfield, ILL.,, July 9.-Attorney Gen=
eral H. j. Hamlin of Illinois is not only
gathering evidence against the. "hig six''
of the beef packing industry, to prevent
their doing business as heretofore as a
trust by agreement on prices, division of
territory, etc., but he is also taking steps
to head off the proposed consolidation of
the big packing firms. He is watching
events closely and purposes, when he is
assured that the combination is on foot,
to bring proceedings to prevent the con-
summation of the deal.
Mr.. Hamlins investigation has been
carried on with much secrecy, and it is
now said that the evidence he has col
lected will certainly put a stop to the
beef trust methods as pract1ced before the
suit for an injunction was brought. AS to
his plan to forbid the entrance of the
packers Of this state into a general beef
company, the attorney general knows his
ground we'll, and is fortified by! the Him.
els supreme courts decision enjoining the
American Glucose: company from selling
it's plant at Peoria to the trust. The
American Glucose company was organized
under the laws of New Jersey, but for
eign corporation, though it was the court
held that as it was doing business in
Illinois and had its plant in this state, it
was subject to the same rules and re-
strictions that, apply to domestic corpora
lions, and could not sell its Peoria plant
to the trust. ~: e. vi.

Atlantic City, N. J. July s9.--While bath

which he supposed was the body of man.
He d1ved after the object. but the sup
posed dead man turned out to. be a most
lively eight foot man-eating shark. When
he dived after it Speerman grabbed the
fish by the tail. Like, flash it turned and
made most vicious snap for him. Speer-
man by this time was thoroughly scared
and called loudly to-sone people on the
pier for help WI: s-..< p ~ =,
When the shark reached the second time

ace. Again 1t came after him, this time
Its large, fin cutting the water like a
knife. t H.,
shep Calhoun and James. Neill put out
IN their lifeboat to his rescue, but before
they reached him the shark continued its
attacks and catching Speerman's left
arm, it's long pointed teeth went deep into
the flesh, nearly severing the arm. Speer-
man was weak from the fright and wound
and very nearly tainted The shark came
at him again, but it was his last rush, for
Calhoun harpooned the fish with his boat
hook. Speerman was pullded into the boat
