CHICAGO REcoRD-HERALp DE-
CLARES THAT IF THESE DOCU-
MENTS COULD BE SECURED
MANY CONCERNS COULD BE
CONVICTED OF REBATING.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-The Record Her
aid today prints the following news
article:
Thousands of documents, some of
which, it is said, would prove packing
concerns guilty of Tebating, have
been burned by companies in the
stock yard district since the govern
ment started its investigation into
the affairs OF Morris & Co, accord
ing to word received by the United
States district attorney.
There was quick action on the
part of the authorities. Secret seTv-
ice men were hurried to the stock
yards to learn what employees had
sorted the claims and burned the doc
uments found in the files. 1t is pro-
posed to subpoena them before the
grand jury. The packers got word
less than a week ago that the gov
ernment's investigation was not to
end with Morris & Co, and that there
was to be an inquiry concerning sup
posed rebates in other concerns. Al
most Immediately the Office forces of
companies the government proposed
to investigate got busy and there was
bonfires- There still remain the files
of the railroad companies which con-
tain duplicates of much of the cor
respondence on the matter Of damage
claims. There is no fear that the
railroad companies will burn their
records for such action is forbidden
by law.
- Ogden Armour ridiculed the
idea that any packing house of stand
ing would resort to destroying its
records because of a fear of pTosecu-
ton, though he admitted he had
heard a TumoT to the effect that there
had been a few fires at the stock
wards"

GOV. HADLEY
FIGHTING THE
RATE CASES
DECLARES THE RAILROADS HAVE
DEMONSTRATED THE FALSITY
OF THEIR CONTENTION BY
THEIR UNoUEsTIoNED PROS
PERITY.

Kansas City, Jan. Ex-Governor
Herbert S. HadIey made the princi-
paI argument here to-day for the
state in the Missouri rate cases and
the great array of railway attorneys
and others were on hand TO hear him.
Judge D. NJ. Spencer, of st. Joseph,
Nc, general solicitor of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, made the
leading argument for the railways.
Governor Hadley said in part:
The railroads have demonstrated
the falsity of their contention by
their unquestionSd prosperity during
the course of the last ten years.
The railroads themselves have
demonstrated the Tea5Onableness OF
the two-cent fare. If they would stop
issuing passes and discriminating be
tween those who are best able to pay
us against those who are ut least able
to do so, they could easily comply
with the twO-cent law. If, in ten
years, with an increase in passenger
traffic of approximately 100 per cent.
and one in equipment and mileage of
but % per cent, the railroads are not
abundantly able to comply with these
lsws reducing freight and passenger
rates, then they have demonstrated
that they are not nearly so efficient
as operators as they were witnesses.
Judge Spencer said in part:
This is not a fight against Mis-
souri,, but a fight for Missouri, The
railroads have made Missouri the
| fifth state in the union and IL let
alone will help her go nearer the top
of the list.
The maximum freight law under
consideration came about as the re
suit of political changes and not from
any public demand Of public neces
sity. 1t followed, as such laws usu
| ally do, the agitation of reform and
the changes in party power. It came
/ into existence in Missouri about the
| time the mysterious stranger made
its appearance in Missouri. For the
| first time in thirty years the politi
/ cal parties changed power in this
state. The new party cast around &c
see what action it might take to rem
der itself popular with the people
and without cause or reason assaileo
the railroads with this maximum
rate law, following this later with
the tWO-cent law"
