Pre- carnations at Chicago to Take the Trust
Into Court.

Into Court.
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
Tin restraint of trade will be filed by
counsel for the government after full
consideration has been given to the
evidence now in possession of the Unit
ed States district attorney, S. H.
Bethea.
The district attorney and Special
Counsel William A. Day, representing
Attorney General Knox, were in con-
ference all day Saturday. They de-
clared that it was of more Importance
to the people of the country that 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 a
day for the filing of papers. Another
reason for their attitude is that every
day additional evidence, as alleged, is
coming to them, and their case is be-
ing made stronger.
