COMMISSION is TO BE BITTERLY
ATTACKED BY CHICAGO
PACKERS
CHANGES ARE OUTLINED
Council for Packers Declares That
Garfield Made Promises Of Leniency
to the Members of the Alleged "Beef
Trust"-Letters Are Called For in
Court.

Chicago, Dec %. - Exact details of
the sensational charges to be made
against Commissioner Of Corporations
Garfield during the hearing of the
pleas in bar in connection with the
packers cases were outlined yesterday
afternoon by former Judge George w.
Brown Of counsel for the packers dur
ing his examination of veniremen. He
declared that the commissioner had
-urned over to the government pros
ecutors the contents of letters from
the packers in reply to personal COM
munications from him requesting in
formation and in many instances the
material thus furnished the govern
met by the packers had been incorpor-
ated verbatim in the indictments re-
turned against them
Each Of the letters Is said to have
contained special inquiry about the by
products and these replies made by
the packers in good faith were then
used in the securing of the indict-
ments. The by-product branch of the
trade, under the Aetna Trading COM
pany, was set forth in one entire count
in the Indictment. The defense will
endeavor to show that several state
ments sent to Garfield by the packers
were interiected in this count.
/ Ordered to Produce Letters.
Garfield has been ordered to produce
a number of copies of letters of re.
quest for statements sent to j Og-
den Armour, Nelson Morris, Edward
and Ira Morris, on July 2, 1904 and
January 2S, 1905. These specific let.
| ters have disappeared it is declared
from the files Of the various defend
ants. They would have made up a
chain of evidence had they remained
and Garfield would not have been sub
poenaed under the duces tecum. At
torney John S. Miller, leading counsel
| for the defense declared last evening
the letters had been "mislaid."
Some of the things the defense will
endeavor to prove by Garfield are:
i That two months before the grand
jury went into session he secured
statements from the defendants on the
fresh meat and by-product business
which was later submitted to At
torney General William H. Moody ol
the department of justice and used in
the indictment.
That letters of instruction sent tc
e. Dana Durand and T. M. Robertson
Garfield's chief assistants in investigat
ing the beef industry, contain instruc
tions to coerce the packers into max
4 ing statements.
information WrongfulIy Used.
+ The private information not secured
for the purpose of publication by Gar
field was really secured by him for the
use of the department of justice, ant
was used by that department in re
turning the Indictment. and that part
of the evidence is included in the in
Z dictment. This is to be shown by com
pairing parts of the indictment witt
documentary matter produced by Gar
field under the subpoena.

Eisherman,s Luck

Preparing his pen with the greatest Of care,
while Others were snatehing q wink,
A poet sat down In the gray of the dawn, s
To ash IN bottle OF ink.
He thOugfs OF the sportsmen who hshed there
before,
Immortal forever 10 be;
He knew OF the beauties which swan In Its murk
And rugged up his tackle with glee.
A silvery sonnet fashed up from the deep
And vanished away from his sight,
ballad and rondeau each nibbled and went.
But still he had never bite.
His rod nearly broke with heavy blank verse,
But failure again was his fate.
The size of the fellows who all got away
hesitate here TO relate.
The sun. marching up from the east TO the west
Looked down ON the angler distraught,
Theu sank to its rest while the poet quit work
Aud this is the minnow he caught.
