Another Great Trust.
Times-De

paign now being conducted IN
this country against the great
trust concerns, it is reported
from Chicago that an English
holding company is being or
ganized to practically take over
all the large packing houses in
this country The holding COM
pany, it is believed, will be cap
italized at half a billion dollars,
and if the plan goes through,
will control the meat food supply
of the country and fix the prices
of The product and also that OF
the stock on the ranges. The
fact that the holding company is
to have its habitat abroad will
make it difficult for the courts to
handle the matter and exert the
same control over the operations
of the gigantic concern as it
would over an American cOrpor-
alton of the same kind
This is not the first trust by
any means which has essayed to
absolutely control the food OF the
people. but it is one whose in
fiuence everyone will feel. Es-
pecially are the stock raisers of
the country likely to feel the
pinch of the new concern once it
gets well established, for it will
practically shut off competition
in the purchase of beef stock,
hogs and sheep. The pessimist
hopes that the concern will be a
benevolent one, and not use the
power conferred on it by its
great wealth UNANIMOUSLY. but
the operations of similar con-
Germs in the past do not give
ground for that hope. Men who
acquire great power over others
have been accustomed in all ages
to use it to further their own sell
fish interests with little or 10 re-
gard for the welfare of others,
and there is no reason to hope
that the British holding COM
pany will prove an exception to
the rule. If the plan goes
through we may expect a monop-
Olization of the meat market with
all o. the evils in its train that
have marked the monopolization
of other industrial concerns in
the United States.
When the meat inspection
measure was passed by Cong
ress it was hoped that the pack
ing concerns would be controlled
by law. but this gigantic move
ment looks like the direct answer
of the trusts to this Legislation.
The government may indeed
supervise the slaughter of cattle
and prevent any improper stuff
being placed on the. market, but
the trust will control prices al
most absolutely. except in a few
local markets, and even in these
communities it will exert an in
direct but powerful control on
prices. The Attorney General
of the United States should take
cognizance of this new trust be.
fore it is thoroughly organized.
and interfere with its formation,
as was done in the case of the
Northern Securities Company.
Means were found to prevent
the contamination of that con.
spiracy against trade, and some
means may be found to prevent
the organization of this new
trust, despite the fact that it is
said to be engineered abroad
II the holding company can not
be reached. it should be possible

PROBLEM HARD TO SOLVE
Belle of Ram Cat Alley Returns Again

The charms Of the society Of Ram Cat

colored woman with a reputation for thiev-
ing, who was given an opportunity to leave
Omaha about three weeks ago, and Chief
Savage is again confronted with the prob
lem Of Kidding the city of her presence, as
she has returned to he1 usual haunts within
the last few days. The woman had a
chronic habit of being arrested when any
one was robbed in the prescribed district
and her connection with many thefts was
proven beyond doubt. In order to save
future trouble she was given an oppor-
tunity to leave Omaha and went to Lincoln.
But she couldn't stay In that quiet little
place, she said, and was arrested in the
crowd Of colored women who were taken
to the station Monday afternoon after John
Brown Of Denver had had his pockets
picked of $3.50 while in a house at il75k
North Eleventh street. During her sojourn
at Lincoln the Clark woman had picked

SUSPECT IN MEAT STEALS
Man Arrested on Robbery Charge Be-
lIeved to he One of Market
Thieves.

]. f. Dixon, who was arrested Tuesday
night on the charge of robbing E. p Trultt
of 35 cents is now believed to be one OF
the thieves who have robbed about ten
meat markets within the last two weeks,
according to evidence in the hands Of the
police. Dixon was seen by a witness on the
night Of December carrying large guam
tity OF meat on his shoulder near Twenty
fourth and Vinton streets, which, it is be-
lieved, was stolen from a meat market that
was robbed that night.
Charles Dixon, brother of the man now
in custody, also is believed to be implicated
in the thefts and was wanted by the police,
who discovered that he had left Omaha
after the arrest OF his brother. Since the
arrest Of Dixon and the departure of HIS
brother the meat markets of the city have
been immune from burglary Dixon will
be tried on the robbery charge while his
connection with the meat market burglaries
is being investigated.
