PACKERS OBJECT.
They Protest AgainssA Work of Secret
Service Agents.

Chicago, April 22.-The federal
grand jury which is investigating the
business affairs of the meat packers
has resumed the probing into the de-
tails of the sausage casing business as
carried on by the packers. Over a
score of clerks and other employees of
the packers told the grand jury what
they knew of this branch of the pack
ing industry.
Chief John F. WillSie of the United
States secret service bureau, who is in
Chicago en- route to the Philippines.
said that he had learned that certain
packers and their attorneys had ques-
toned the right of the United States
secret service to make an inVestiga-
ton in conjunction with the federal
grand jury. The packers, Chief
Wilkie said, contended that the secret
service department is under the
United States treasury department and
that the funds provided by congress
can not be used in a special investi-
cation because the secret service is
really one for the suppression Of
counterfeiters. In reply to this con-
tention Chief Wilkie said that the spe-
investigation of the packing industry
were being paid out of the $4,000
appropriation made by an act of con-
gress for the purpose of pushing the
investigation and that the secret ser
vice men would be kept on the case as
long as they were needed.
