SECRETARY moody
EXPLAINED THE
LETTERS MEAil|NG

Chicago Feb. T. Attorney General
Moody was yesterday called W on by the
attorneys for the packers 10 ad nit the
authenticity Of a letter written TO him
by President Roosevelt in whj Oh it Is
stated that the department OF Justice and
the department. OF commerce iand labor
were working together in the packers
case and with the permission OF the
president.
The attorney general decLar ed that he
would admit the authenticity iof the letter
subject to It's certitcation by j. A. <ratz,
his private secretary. Them. addressing
the court. he said
II IL pleases the court, / feel IL my
duty upon reading Mis- letter 70 say In
regard to this sentence which II contains
with my permission the department Of
justice and the department. OF commerce
and labor'-it Is not pTTect."
All the lawyers for the packers rose,
several OF them addres ung the court eX-
cltedly.
II understand that the attorney general
merely assented TO the authenticity OF
the documents" said Judge Humphrey.
The cross-examination clf c. NJ McFar-
lane was then resumed by District Attor-
ney Morrison.
The questioning was diSyscted toward
the subsidiary companies, which, II IS
claimed by the governme mt. were the
media through which the co utrol of prices
on all products was effected.
The witness declared that the govern
ments agents examined the books OF the
Aetna Trading company and ihe Kenwood
company, but said that he knew little
about the operations OF the subsidiary
companies.
During a recess Attorney Gensra Moody
said regarding the letter writ ten to him
by the president
II had no objection at all to- the letter
as presented by the defence. What l
meant by an inaccuracy i'm the letter
was that the attorneys for the defence
have placed a wrong construction on the
words of the president.
They seemed To think that II means
that the department of justice was aided
by the department OF commerce and
labor i'm the investigation. THAI construc-
ton is not right. because the department
Of commerce and labor did not aid my
department / had no O0jecGion 10 the
introduction OF the document. II Is
copy OF the original"

TWO MORE HOURS FOR
CHICkG0-L0S ANGELES RUN

Chicago. Feb. THE three Chicago-Los
Angeles routes-the Santa Fe. the Rock
Island and the Chicago and Northwestern
next Sunday will add two hours TO the
running time of their limited trains be-
tween Chicago and Los Angeles, making
1t eeh hours instead OF ga hours, as at
present.
This action will be the result OF an
agreement which has geen reached by
the roads named. and which largely has
been forced upon them by the traffic con-
ditions OF the several lines.
III have such an unusually heavy vol
ume of freight traffic moving over the
lines that IL is impossible for them TO do
justice TO II. and at the same time main
tain the present fast schedules OF their
limited trains with any degree OF prompt
tude.
They have reached the conclusion that
IL is better not TO have extremely fast
schedules than 10 have them and not he
able TO make the time
The agreement reached provides that
the trains OF the three roads shall start
on their runs at different hours, So that
passengers missing on one road can find
another. In the same manner delayed
mails can be disposed OF without loss of
time. 80 that the new arrangement az a
whole Is expected to be great public
convenience rather than a detriment 10
