THE BEEF TRUST
Moody Makes a Strong
Argumen. for the
Government.
(Ey the Associated Press.)

Washington, jan. 9.-Attorney Gen
cral Moody today resumed his argu
ment on behalf of the government be-
States in the case of Swift & Company
VS.. the United States, commonly known
as the beef trust case began last Fri
day.
Mr. Moody declared The inquiry had
narrowed down to only two questions
fCI the determination of the court
Whether the commerce in the case
was commerce among the States and,
# so, whether the arguments Consti-
tute Il monopoly Of any part of it. Mr..
Moody said the following state of facts
IS clearly shown Persons owning
i've stock md living in other States
and territories than those Wheer the
stock yards are situated. We're accus-
toned to send much stock to the VAR
touE stock yards named for
The purpose of sale there. The de-
sendants who were SeVerally
engaged in the business of buying
such live stock, for the purpose of
Strengthening and converting it into
fresh meat, entered into an agreement
With each other to refrain from bid
ding against each other. except color
ably in the purchase of such live
stock. with the purpose and result of
suppreSSing all competition in such
purchases An agreement having
been clearly alleged he said the
question arose as to whether
the agreement rlates to Interstate
commerce. The interstate character
of the transaction he said where an
owner of a commodity living in one
State ships it to another. continues
from the beginning and including the
sale of the commodity.
Mr. Moody concluded that these
transa ctons were in restraint of the
interstate commerce and so within
the meaning of the law Turning to
the question of selling Mr.. Moody
said: THE defendants have combined
and conspired arbitrarily, to raise.
lower and fix prices of fresh meat and
to keep them uniform. This conspfr-
acy is rendered effective by periodical,
secret meetings drought the country
py the agents and attorneys Of the
defendants. At these meetings uni
form among themselves due notice is
given of the prices SO agreed upon,
and the defendants adhere TO the
prices thus fixed. At such agreement
relates to and restraints commerce. ac
cording to the we'll settled rule of this
country is 50 plain that | cannot per-
NIT myself to argue it,"
Inc Only question Was WHETHER tire
commerce il restraints was Interstate
commerce. an don this point Mr.
Moody said of the conduct of the de-
PENDANTS:
controlling sixty per cent of the
fresh meat industry of the whole
country, they sit down at their slatgh

the instrumentality of countless agents

as it enters and follows the channls
of inter state commerce. This is an
unlawful restraint of commerce among
the states.

GEORGIA LAW HELD AS VOID.
Making Initial Carrier Liable to DAM

Freight Shipment.
(By the Associated Press. J


Washington. Jan. 9.-The Supreme
Court of the United States today held
as void the Georgia law making the
initial carrier liable in cases Of dam
age to freight shipments even though
it occurs outside the State. The opln-
ion was delivered by Justice Peckham
in the case of the Central of Georgia
Railway Company VS.. Murphy. The
damage alleged in this case amount
ing to $434 occurred TO a carload of
grapes shipped fronm Barnesville, Ga,
to Omaha, Neb., the Georgia road be-
ing the road to which they We're de-
livered Murphy brought suit under
the State law. In the course OF his
opinion Justice Beckham said:
THE power to regulate the relative
corporations within the limits Of the
State cannot extend so far as to regu-
late Interstate commerce. The po-
lice power of the State does not give
it the right to violate any provision
of the Federal Constitution. Being
of the opinion that the same ques-
ion when applied to an Interstate
shipment is regulation of Interstate
commerce we must hold the statute,
so far as it affects such shipments TO
be void or that account"
The judgment Of the Georgia SUI
prcme Court was reversed ana the
case remanded for further proceedings.

MARRIED HIS NIECE.

New Britain Man Takes His Own
 Sisters Daughter for q Wife-Is It
 Legal?
 Hartford, Dec 25.-At an elaborate reception rendered by MT and Mrs Joseph D. Rivlkin to their friends in this city at the Auditorium last night, it became known that in the recent marriage of the couple, it was q case of an uncle marrying his niece.
 Mir. Rivikin readily admitted this fac.
 Yes he said, "my wife is my own niece; Ter mother is my sister. I know that those different from our faith re- gard it as a most unusual incident. but it is not so win us. My wife and I are about tGe same age and the relationship is no barrier to the marriage, in our be- lief. The law of this State, however, forbids such a union. and in order to be within the law he went to Providence last Thursday and were properly married by a rabbi, after having se- cured a permit. We also have letter from Judge Sweeney of that city w1o says our marriage was perfectly legal under the laws of Rhode Island.
 "The marriage of an uncle 10 his niece or uncles and cousins is not at all among Hebrews, and they have taken place here in Hartford. The contracting parties are liable to punish ment or at leas; of having their mar riago annulled at any time. It should have been the duty of the Health Board officials who- issued the license to in- quire into the facts but as they do not the bride and bridegroom do not volunteer any information and so they are married. took every step to have our marriage legal"
 Rivillin is now engaged in the gro cerv business with another brother in
