WATCH PACKERS COMBINE
Federal District Attorneys Looking
for Infractions of Law.

Washington, March 30.-President
Roosevelt and Attorney General Knox
are highly elated at the first operation
whereby expediting the law has brought
the suit against the Northern Securities
company to a point where it viii be
heard in the supreme court within a
year. and are preparing TO vigorously
press both this case and the govern
ment's suit against the beef packers.
The fact that the packers are evident
" campaigning to organize another
combination designed especially to
evade the letter of the statutes under
which they We're formerly prosecuted,
has caused the officials of the depart
ment of justice to redouble their in
spection of the operations of the pack
ers. The publicity aroused by the for
nation of the National Packing COM
pany last week, it Is said viii be per-
mitted TO die away before the packers
make any new move No fewer than
four United States district attorneys in
various parts of the United States have
been instructed to report anything that
looks to them like the least infraction
of either the old statutes or the new
antitrust laws enacted al the last ses-
sion.
There has been much gossip here to
the effect that the National Packing
company, in the organization of which
the names of the Swift. Armour and
Morris companies were conspicuous by
their absence, was formed for the pur-
pose of testing the antitrust laws and
that the firms named would come in if
the laws failed to affect the corporation.

London March 80.-The removal and re

ecuted at Newgate will cost the county OF
London some $3.50. This is despite the
fact that the coffins containing the bodies
of such criminals were always supposed to

1t has been found that the lining opera

lessness- About a dozen murderers' bodies

traordinary condition of preservation that
the medical authorities were astounded.
The lime must have been laid with scan
dalous inenectiveness to have made such
things possible.

Pierpont Morgan practically cleaned up
the last big output
1T is shocking the way Mr. Morgan
is induced to pay small fortunes for
forged works. Mr. Morgan throws
money around so lavishly that other
collectors who, perhaps. know a little
more about antiquities, but possess less
cash, cannot compete with him. The
British museum is not justified in
wasting public funds in such a manner
and dealers often say when they quote
an enormous price Mr. Morgan paid
so and so. We cannot be expected to
let things go for less than his market
price
Mr. Morgan buys under expert ad-

He exhibited a Titan Holy Family
at the Royal academy last year which
was generally denounced as forgery.
He paid s125. 600 for it. Recent disclos-

where Romney and Gainsborough
copies are turned out to perfection,
strengthens the widespread opinion
among connoisseurs that Mr.. Nor
