ing the case after adjournment OF
court, said:
Il am perfectly satisfied with the
matter as 1t stands. The defendants
came into court, pleaded guilty and
the court showed leniency In pro-
nouncing sentence. The fine is heavy.
but the Imprisonment provision is the
most important part Of the law. l
think 1t was very fair consideration
Of the matter. 1t was proven con-
clusively by the government that after
the issuance OF the injunction by
Judge Grosscup the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger company withdrew from
the combination. Tney were Inue-
pendent, but In order to carry on their
business In SO strenuous q competi-
tion against the other packers 1t
seems 1t was necessary for them to
accept rebates. The results only go to
show that the government has now
lodged an opening wedge into the
question OF rebates. We have found
. way to proceed and 1t seems the
proper one. 1t seems to me that the
government is In fair way of break
Ing up the entire rebate evil In this
country"
From the books of the government
It Is shown that to collect evidence
against the four defendants and
bring about their indictment the gov
srnment spent $4,000. The cases
against Armour & Co. and others
we're continued until next Wednesday.

PRESIDENT HOLDS LONG CON.
FERENCE WITH SECRETARY
ROOT AND OTHERS.
NAY RECOMMEND FEDERAL CONTROL
MATTER WILL BE DISCUSSED II
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS UN-
DER PREPARATION.

Oyster Bay, L. L., Sept. 22.-Secre-
tary of State Root, Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, and Joseph HI. Choate,
former American ambassador to Great
Britain, who spent the night at Saga
more Hill as guests of President
Roosevelt, have left for New York.
The conference between the president
and his visitors was admittedly i'm
portant. The principal topic of dis
cussion was the recent disclosures In
the investigation of the conduct of the
life insurance companies Of New York
being made by q committee of the
New York legislature. The president
has In course of preparation his an
Rual message to congress and as he
proposes to discuss the insurance
question In that message with special
reference to federal legislation for the
regulation of insurance naturally de-
sired to confer with his close friends
as to the manner In which he should
treat the subject.
1t Is known that the conference con-
tinued until late hour. No details OF
1t are obtainable. 1t Is known, how
ever, that the president has manifest
ed for months a deep interest in the
developments regarding the conduct
of the New York life insurance COM
panies and has had In mind the de-
STABILITY of federal regulation Of such
corporations. Under the law as 1t now
stands the bureau of corporations OF
the department Of commerce and la
Dor has no control over life insurance
corporations. 1t can only make an in
Quiry into their business for the pur-
pose of gaining information, but 1t
cannot supervise them In any way
The president has been urged strongly
to recommend to congress the enact
ment of such legislation as will give
the federal government supervisory
control OF insurance companies.
Whether the disclosures regarding
the payment by certain corporations
Of campaign contributions has any,
thing to do with the present inquiry
by the president or whether that sub
ject was considered even at the con-
ference cannot be told.
