PLEA FOR BEEF MAGNATES
Claim They Were Indicted by Grand
Jury Which Was illegally
Drawn
By Associated Press.

by ASSocldIeu STsSS.
CHICAGO, Sept. 28.-Judge Humph-
rey today heard the closing arguments
in the plea of abatement filed by the
packers against the indictment charg-
ing them with Illegal methods of con-
Quoting business. The court declared
that while it was possible that he could
had down his decision tomorrow it is
not certain that he will do so.
The grounds on which abatement OF
the Indictment is sought by the pack
ers are that the grand jury returning
the indictment was illegal because 1t
was not publicly drawn, as required
by law that the defendants were de-
prived of their right to challenge the
jurors; that Judge Bethea, sitting in
the eastern division of the Northern
district of Illinois, had no right to re-
ceive the return of an indictment re-
garding the northern district of the
same division; that one member of the
Jury was not legally made a member
of that body, and that the government
officials had no right to reproduce be-
fore the grand jury transcript of evil
dence previously heard by them un-
sworn and unverif1ed, but presented as
an abstract of the evidence.

SUED BY STANDARD OIL
Action Brought Against Judson Man.
ufacturing Company of San
Francisco for $6256

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 2S.-The
Standard Oil company began suit
against the Judson Manufacturing COM
pany today in the United States circuit
court to recover $6256 alleged to be due
on contract, which the complaint de-
clares has been violated by the de-
PENDANTS.
By the time of this alleged contract
it was agreed that the Judson Manu-
featuring company would accept from
1000 to 5000 barrels of fuel oil per month
for one year beginning October, 1908,
and from 5000 to 1000 barrels a month
for period of two years ending in 1906
The contract also provided, so the COM
plant alleges, that the Judson Manu-
featuring company would purchase it's
oil exclusively from the Standard Oil
company and pay therefor 81 cents per
barrel of forty-two bulk gallons, with
an allowance for water and sediment
not petroleum, in excess of per cent.
The Standard Oil company contends
that the defendants have purchased a.
100 barrels of fuel oil from sources other
than the monopoly, and in direct viola
ton of the agreement alleged to be in
existence. The oil company further de-
clares that the product which was to
have been taken by the Judson COM
pany represents to the Standard a
value of As cents per barrel The cost
being stated as 45 cents and the selling
price 81 cents, the Standard Oil COM
pany figures itself out loser on the
non-transfer of "a, 100 barrels.
