BEEF TRUST
BATTLE ON
Ballou Opens Argument
for Demurrers
Filed.

trict Court before Judge S. B. Dole, the
first guns at close range were fred in
the beef trust battle As the opening
fight is on demurrers, of which there
are twenty-eight, the defendants had
the privilege of taking the initial
shots.
S. NJ. Ballou began the talking on be-
half of the clients of Ballou & Marx,
viz: w. F. Dillingham;, Oahu Rail
way & Land Co., H. NJ Won Holt and
E. A. Knudsen. He went into the his
tory of the Chicago meat trust and
the railway merger cases to show, by
comparison with proceedings therein,
that the local U. S. attorneys had in
these Hawaiian meat trust proceedings
left undone those things which they
ought to have done and altogether
were away off the target. 1t was nee
essary, he commended, that the govern
ment should allege not only the agree
ment in restraint of trade and in be-
half of exorbitant prices, but the
| means and acts whereby such agree
nlent was TO be carried out
