BEEF TRUST CASE CLOSES
Attorney General Moody Winds Up
His Prosecution.
COURT ROOM WAS CROWDED

q Was contended That the Packers VIC.
lated the Law by Entering INTO an
Agreement For Supervising Competi.
tion Both in the Purchase OF Live Stock
and in the sale Of Fresh Meat.
Washington, p. C.-Arguments In the
so-called Beef Trust case were cor.
cluded in the Supreme Court, Attor-
ney-General Moody appearing for the
Government in favor Of continuing the
injunction issued by Judge Grosscup
at Chicago, ILL.,, and Attorney Miller
closing the case in favor of Swift, Ar
mour and other packers The space
within the railing was crowded with
members Of the bar, who listened to
the arguments with close attention.
particularly those Of the Attorney
General.
Mr.. Moody said it appeared that
the defendants, who were seven cor
porations. one copartnership and TWEEN
ty-three individuals, were engaged in
the business of buying live stock, con-
verting it into fresh meat and selling
the meat throughout the country. 1t
was obvious that the business included
both manufacture or production and
commerce. They were charged with
violating the law by entering into an
agreement for suppressing competition
in the purchase Of live stock and of
compefltlon IN the sale OF Lresh meat.
None of the charges related to manu-
facture or production, but all related
to commerce, not necessarily inter-
state commerce, but commerce as dis-
tinguished from manufacture or pro
dnction: -

FIRE IN JERSEY PRISON
Wild Excitement at Blaze in Railway
Reformatory
GUARDS oUELL THE STAMPEDE

Unconscious Prisoners Carried Out While
Others Are Placed Under Heavily
Armed Guards in Courtyard--ConfiaG-
ration Started in Paint shop-City Fire
Department Called.
Railway, NJ j. The widest excite
nent attended fire in the New Jer-
sey State Reformatory here early in
the morning, when thirty prisoners,
locked in their cells, were overcome by
smoke and had to be carried to the
outer air, while the rest of the inmates,
on the verge of 4 stampede, were
marched out of danger between heay-
lily armed guards.
The fire started in a well-filled paint
shop, and was well under way when
ii was discovered by guard
He sent in an alarm, promptly arous-
ing the Warden and the entire force Of
guards. While they were making
ready to fight the blaze with the prison
apparatus, dense and sickening smoke
spread throughout the reformatory,
penetrating to the cells OH every tier.
The institution was overcrowded. The
noise aroused the prisoners. When
through the smoke they became aware
of what had happened they were seized
with fear and began hammering at
their cell doors.
DO you want to roast us, like rats?"
some OF them yelled. Some were pray
ing, some were singing hymns, others
were shouting for priest while 9th
ers again were cursing, and shouted
that they would break down the doors
that held them imprisoned.
When it was found that the fire was
spreading, despite the efforts of the
guards, the cell doors were at last un-
locked, and the prisoners marched out
into the Reformatory yard under a
heavy guard of keepers, armed with
rifles. 1t was then found that thirty
of the inmates had been overcome by
the smoke that had poured through
( the corridors. In their unconscious
condition they were carried from the
building by their keepers. They We're
reSuscitated by Prison Physician
Hough and outside practitioners who
had arrived in response to hurry calls.
1t is said that the fire apparatus in
the prison was defective, and that the
hose was rotten and burst. Whether
this is true or not, it is certain that it
was only the prompt arrival of the
town fire department that saved the
prison from destruction.
The origin Of the fire was a mystery,
although there seemed to be dispo-
sition to attribute it to spontaneous
combustion. The damage was $4,000
Besides this, the Bertillion records,
kept in the annex building, were rem
dered worthless by being soaked with
water. The fire hardly got beyond the
paint shop.
