DUPLICATE BOOKS SHOWING
SHADY OPERATIONS NOW
DAMAGES COLLECTED FROM
RAILROADS AS REBATES.
BY gibson GARDNER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 23.--
Jail sentences and fines for some
high up members of the beef trust
are what will result from the &C.
tivities of United States District
Attorney Simms in Chicago. Evil
dence is now being presented to
the grand jury there which, when
made public, will be found quite
startling.
The Chicago cases are the result
of Investigations made by the in
terstate commerce commission.
Agents of the commission have
been gathering evidence for some
time, and it is now known that the
principal case against the Chicago
packers will be for violations Of
the rate law in the giving and TAX
ing of secret rebates. Evidence
will also be brought before the
court, throwing light on the man.
ner in which the beef packers con-
spire to regulate and manipulate
prices of live stock.
The most startling disclosures in
Chicago is the revelation that the
packers have been keeping dupli-
cate books. 1t is now learned that
the books which Mr.. Garfield exam
ined when commissioner of corpor-
atoms, and on which he based his
famous report on the beef packing
industry, were the public and what
might be called virtuous set of
books kept by the packers. An
other set, keeping track of their
shady operations, entirely escaped
him. This set has been captured
by the agents of the interstate
commerce commission, and it's en-
tries are now being explained to
the Chicago grand jury.
1t was not an easy matter for
the government to secure posses
sion of these secret books, and
after they had been located and
the district attorneys Office had
been informed as to what account
ants kept them, number of sub
penas were issued together with
orders requiring that these books
be delivered to the district attor-
ney. These subpenas and orders

and were served simultaneously.
taking the packers entirely by
surprise. Detectives at the same
time were stationed at the packers
offices to prevent any destruction
or hiding of the books and papers
desired. The packers refused for
several hours to give up the books,
and only did so after Mr.. Simms
had Informed the officials of the
Nelson Morris Co. that they would
be jailed for contempt forthwith
unless they obeyed the order of
the court. This brought up an ex-
press wagon loaded with books
from the stock yards to the dis
trict attorneys office on the north
side. 1t is understood that part of
the books escaped the raid, but
enough has been secured for the
purposes of prosecution.
The governments evidence will
disclose a number of ingenious de-

When mayonnaise which has been

has been standing a few days and you
wish to use it. do not stir it until
you drop about a teaspoonful OF vine
gar on top; then mix it together. This
will prevent it from curdling and will
also freshen it up.
Place lettuce, carrots or any kind of
vegetables which have been standing
