TRUST
BATTLE ON

yesterday, IN the United states Dis
trict Court before Judge $. Il. Dole, the
first guns at close range were fired in
the beef trust battle. As the opening
fight is on dcmurrers, of which there
are twenty-eight, the defendants had
the privilege of taking the initial
shots.
$. NJ. Ballou began the talking on be-
half of the clients of Ballou & Marx,
viz: W. +. Dillingham;, Oahu Rail
way 4 Land Co., ii. M. Won Holt and
T.. A. Knudscn. 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
We're away off the target. IL was nee
essary, he contended, 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
mcnt was to be carried out.
