PACKERS WILL HAVE .,,sss,;;-s
TO WEAR THE STRIPES

Chicago. April ~. Ono Of tile highest
federal officers IN Chicago declared to-
( day that the beef packers cannot escape
Indictment and conviction. e
""trhe government he says, ''has over
whelmiig evidence of the guilt of the
packing house combine. The packers are
guilty and the Indictment and convic-
tion of all of them is certain. | am as
tonished that men, of unquestioned abil-
ity and business sagacity should so far
4 forget themselves and their duties to
tile civil government as TO commit such
surprisingly fragrant offenses against the
federal law, Their guilt is established
beyond the shadow Of doubt. They
cannot escape punishment.
They have brought powerful pres
sure to bear upon the government offi-
cials, from President Roosevelt down,
and are trying to forestall the govern
ment in every movement. Influencing
witnesses in Chicago is not the Only
measure they have taken to prevent evil
derce of their guilt from being placed
before the federal grand jury. The
packers are frantic. The grand jury
/ has plain case and the investigation is
not half over
t.5 An investigation of the beef trust of
a. much deeper nature and wider scope
is to result from the examination Of the
contents of eight trunks taken yesterday
from the safety vaults iii the First Ma
tional Bank Building. When these trunks
were, opened the entire secret transac-
tions Of the Aetna Trading Co, cor
poration through which the secret busi-
ness of the big packers was transacted,
was revealed to the jurors. and as a
consequence many new witnesses will be
5subpoenaed The trunks and contents
llav been impounded on an order by
Judge Sanborn, SO that no one by legal
process can obtain possession of them.
