WAITING ON CHICAGO.
DevIin Receivers Won't Act Until Fed
eral Judge Acts.

Things are at a standstill as far as
the receivership of the Illinois properties
is concerned. The federal court at Chi
cago which has the appointment of a
receiver of the Illinois properties under
Amusement has not yet made its decis-
ion known. Several of the creditors in
Illinois are asking for the appointment
of a trust company, while Receivers Lee
land and Hurley desire to have all the
properties placed under the one receiver
ship. The progress of affairs has been
irnpeded by this attempt of the cred
itors in Illinois and consequently there
is nothing new in the situation.

TO BRING MANY SUITS
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
AFTER RAILROADS.
Lines that Have Violated Live Stock
Regulations to Be Proceeded Against
More Oklahoma Homes Are to Be
Opened for Settlement,

The Department of Agriculture in
Washington has prepared and is ready
20 begin 1,200 suits against the railroads
of this country to secure the imposition
Of penalty of $500 in each case for
every violation of the so-called twenty
eight-hour law. That statute requires
carriers Transporting live stock from one
State to another to unload, feed and wa
ter and rest every head OF live stock for
period of FIVE hours after it has been
on the road not more than twenty light
hours. Nearly every railroad from Maine
10 California is involved. The evidence
against them is regarded as so strong
that attorneys representing the roads are
negotiating with Secretary Wilson, with
a view to having minimum penalty of
500 imposed, the understanding that if
the maximum is not demanded the rail
roads will comply with the law In a
large number of cases the Secretary is
disposed to agree because he cares more
for the future observance of the law than
for punishment for offenses committed
while the railroads thought they could
disregard the statute with impunity. Such
cases as are not compromised will be
filed in the Circuit Courts. The suits
are to be begun in the name of and for
the benefit of the United States. They
are to be civil actions for damages, as
the law makes no provision for either hne
or Imprisonment.

Federal Inquisitorial Body Finds True
Bills for Violations of Antitrust Law
and for Conspiracy-Labor Disturbers
Also in the Tolls.

Five large packing house corpora
tons and twenty-one officials and en-
ployes of various meat producing in
dustries have been indicted by the
special federal grand jury in Chicago,
which for over three months has been
investigating the packing business.
The indictments We're returned to
Judge S. H. Bethea in the United
States District Court Saturday after
noon, and the jury was discharged.
The FIVE corporations and seventeen
of their officials, as individuals, are
charged with conspiring in a combina-
ton in restraint of trade and COM
merce, and four men connected with
the traffic department of another pack
ing firm are charged with conspiring
to accept rebates from various railroad
companies
The two indictments were voted I'M
der the Sherman antitrust law and
the interstate commerce laws, and car
ry, on conviction, penalties of one
years imprisonment and fines ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000 for specific of
lenses. Imprisonment must be in a
county Jail, as the offense OF violating
either of the laws is accounted a mis-
demeanor
The action of the grand jury brought
no surprise to the packers. 1t lad
been anticipated for weeks by the
heads Of tho coDoarnc op5 +lo;r Ioc,oI
counsel. They had regarded indict-
ment as inevitable, the feeling being
that no other result would be reached
because of public hostility.
Under the Sherman law the corpor-
atoms, if convicted of violation of the
antitrust act, will be punished by a
fine not to exceed $4,000 The indi-
viduals named in the indictments
charging conspiracy in restraint of
trade, however. may be punished upon
conviction with fine not to exceed
$4,000 or imprisonment in jail not to
exceed one year or both in the discre-
ton of the court The charges are
not felonies and do not carry with
them as punishments pentientiary SEN
fences.
