MAY SOAR SKYWARD.
Prices of Meat Probably VIII
Make Big Jump

Chicago, May 2a.-Meat prices in
Chicago may jump skyward this week
unless the beef trust" recedes from
its recent announced intention to de-
lay payments on certain of it's live
stock purchases until they have passed
government postmortem examination
The packers notified commission firms
that beginning Monday, they would no
longer stand loss on condemned cattle,
and in order to protect themselves
they had found it necessary to refuse
payment on Cow stuff" until it has
passed government inspection. Dur
ing the latter part of last week thou
sands of letters and kilograms were
sent out by commission men to Gus
toners notifying them of the action
taken by packers and advising them
to withhold all shipments of cattle to
big markets controlled by the trust
until the difficulty is adjusted.
This is expected to cut the meat sup
ply tremendously before the week is
over, and prices are expected to go
up correspondingly. Commission men
declare 1t the intention of packers to
enforce the rule with regard to cow
stuff" now In hope that similar action
may be taken with reference to the
purchase Of sheep and hogs. Cow
stuff" is minor item il the packing
house business, and commission men
say it is for this reason packers Sc
lected it as the objective in the new
ruling.
Some of the leading commission
firms and shippers communicated with
the secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington with regard to the new action
On the part of the packers. and it is
said assurances have been given that
any attempt to delay payments on live
stock, as threatened by packers, would
result in the withdrawal of inspection

SOME HANDED OVER.
Johnson Refused to State What Papers
Defense Was Possessed OF.


Austin, May 28.-The question be.
fore the court in the Waters-Pierce
Oil company case Monday was what
papers the defense would be required
to produce upon writ of duces tecum
issued by the state seeing the cores
pondence relative to contracts be
tween the defendant and Roy Camp
bell of San Antonio or A. w. Glenn of
Dallas. Defense denied having IN its
possession the documents called for
and when put upon the stand declined
to answer questions as to papers in its
possession except upon specific de
scription. The state invoked the new
law, which gives the court authority
to require defendant to produce papers
and documents bearing upon the case.
and the court ruled that under this
law defendant must turn over to the
state the papers called for in the appli.
cation. The defense then handed out
its papers relative to the contract
with the Eagle Refining company of
Dallas. This caused the state to pro
test, claiming that other papers called
for are being concealed. and the court
allowed it to issue another writ OF
duces tecum, but. stated that the trial
must proceed at once
Judge ]. d. Johnson, general attor
ney of Waters-Pierce Oil company was
on stand most of the morning and
questioned with reference to the pa
pers which the state claims defense
has in its possession. Johnson refused
to say what papers the defense has in

description.
