EVIDENCE AGAINST PACKERS.
Commissioner Garfield Declares He Did
Not Promise Immunity.

CHICAGO, Feb. DETERMINATIONS
OF Corporations Garfield took the
stand today In the packers case, and
denied many OF the statements made
by the witnesses for the packers dur.
ing the hearing of the case now in
progress.
Ed. w. Morris, Edward Swift and
Arthur Meeker, representatives re.
spectively of the packing firms of
Nelson Morris & Co.. Swift g. Co.
and Armour & Co., all testified that
Commissioner Garfield had told them
that his department had the power to
compel Inform alton if they refused to
give it willingly.
Mr.. Garfield, on the stand today,
declared that he had never made such
a statement. He also denied that he
had ever promised immunity to the
packers, saying that the only protec-
ton that had been promised was pro.
lection for the individual packers of
their confidential figures. This, he
said, had been given them and al.
though the average of these coniden.
tial figures had been given in the re-
port of the commissioner on the beef
inquiry, individuals had been re-
spected and their names had not been
given. He also denied positively that
he had at any time said anything re.
garding an oath in connection with
the inquiry. Mr.. Garfield was the
first witness for the government, the
packers having rested their case
shortly before the noon recess of court
today.
Attorney John S. Miller also read
the letter Of President Roosevelt to
Attorney General Moody, which was
authenticated some time ago by the
attorney general. This letter declares
that the department of justice were
working together in the beef investi.
cation. Attorney General Moody,
when in Chicago some time ago, ad.
mitted that the statement of collision
between the two departments was in
correct.
Commissioners Garfield told of his
coming to Chicago and meeting the
packers, his account of the occur
FENCES and conversations not differing
in any essential from those given by
the witnesses for the packers. He de.
clared, however, that Mr.. Krauthoff,
the attorney who had advised Mr.. Ar.
mour to allow the inspection of their
books and plants, told him that he
would consider an inspection by a fed.
eral officer on the beef business rather
an advantage than otherwise to the
packers.

Affecting Livestock Shipments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The house
committee on interstate and foreign
conducted a hearing today
on the Stephens bill, extending from
- hours to 81 hours the time livestock
may be permitted by carriers to re.
main in cars. Speakers In support OF
the bill urged that an extension OF the
2s.hour law was necessary to the ad.
vancement of the cattle industry, and
insisted that the additional time would
work less hardship than cattle would
suffer in the extra transfer from cars
to stocky ards, made necessary by the
short time limit.

THE PRIVATE CAR MONOPOLY,

The people OF Montana are not az
fected by the private car monopoly to
so large an extent as the residents of
many other states, but they recognize
1t as an evil that calls for correction.
How the monopoly operates, and its
effect upon those subject to its exac.
tions, Is told in q most graphic man.
uer by Ray Stannard Baker in an
article contributed to McClure's mag.
aZine.
This article deals with the methods
by which Armour monopolized the
fruit transportation business of AM
erica, and made all who have any use
whatever for refrigerator cars pay 500
per cent. more for icing charges than
they did when the railroads we're per-
mitted to attend to their business as
common carriers. 1t tells how Armour
played the men who evolved the idea
OF refrigerator cars, against each
other, ruined them financially, and
gobbled their business hungrily. But
Armour was not satisfied with this.
There were some American citizens
who hadn't felt his rod. Discrimina.
tons from the railroad we're not
enough. He wanted more than to
have his products carried, in defiance
Of the law cheaper than anybody
~else's, and he wanted the profits the
railroads themselves were getting
from the smaller shippers.
The railroads were, for the most
part, helpless, Mr.. Baker points out.
There weren't many Of them that
could afford to lose Armour's enor.
nous business. So If he said:
"Either use nothing but my refris-
orator cars, or make up your mind
to get along without my business"
What were they to do: Most Of them
knuckled under. Immediately icing
charges jumped up until in one in.
stances they were more than 800 per
cent. greater than they had been be.
fore Armour coveted what little his
rate DETERMINATIONS had left the small.
Ter shippers.
\ non-Armour line charges only $50
for icing from New Orleans to Chica-
go, Il distance OF 9o5 miles: a line
bound to Armour charges 5000 for
icing for u distance of PIG miles.
Charges elsewhere are in proportion,
and this is only one of the points thai
MIR. Baker makes. Before Armour
stepped in the railroads charged the
shipper the cost Of icing. Some ship.
pers refused to pay the greatly in.
creased charges. and they were openly
told by Armour's agents tina, unless
they did "come-up' Armour-bound
railroads would not carry their stun.
Mr.. Baker gives an interesting ac-
count OF how these men are revolving
and fighting Armour tooth and nail.
Armour, Mr.. Baker shows, takes all
OF the profits and privileges OF a COM
mon carrier without any Of the duties
and the responsibilities.
MIR. Baker tells Of Armour's ma.
chiuery for breaking the law; his
codes and ciphers for %instructing
agents. He tells how Armour tried ia
enter the produce market himself, un.
derselling his competitors who had
paid his freight for him. But here he
overstepped himself. And how, and
what the revOlutiouisls are doing, and
how Armour is digging back, Mr..
Baker tells in an astonishing nara.
tive.

SCHOOL SITE

At meeting of the committee of
East End citizens appointed concern
Ing the location of the new ward school,
and Chairman Isaman OF the school
board. held at the Commercial Trust
Co.'S office last night, a committee of
citizens was appointed to investigate
the rumors concerning the condition
of the High School building. The COM
mittee will report the result Of the in
spection at tonight's meeting.
The proposition as presented by the
East End people was that an agree
ment had been made with Harry Ket-
tenbach giving them the choice Of To-
cation from II blocks Of land In East
Lewiston. their selection Of location to
be presented to the school by Mr.. Ket-
tenbach. They also argue that II this
proposition is not accepted by tte
board Of directors. a needless expen-
diture Of $500 will necessarily have
to be made for site as stated in the
proposed bond election.
The comtnittee wiz meet in an ad-
journed session tonight.
