TWO SETS
OF BOOKS
Were Kept by Morris and
Company Say the Cow
ernment Experts.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE exact ma
uIre of the inquiry wntch the Unit
ed States government Is CONDUCTING
into the business of Morris & Co.
was revealed yesterday. All the eyld-
enoe submitted TO the grand jury
so far has been along these two
lines:
That excessive damage claims are
eecured from the railroads and
steamship Zines ON invoices repre-
senting profits that never were
earned, and that excessive claims
for allegel damaged meats and meat
products are secured from the rail-
roads and steamship lines by at
taching false accounts OF sales TO
these invoices.
Duplicate sets of books, contain.
ing wide discrepancies in the actual
selling prices OF the meats and the
price shown in the accounts of sales
presented to the railroads with dam-
age claims, have been discovered
by aIgents of the Interstate COM
merce commidsion
With these books, backed up by
the testimony of the men who
kept them and the testimony OF tina
railroad men who paid the claims
the government expects 10 show
that the railroads have been sani-
bagged out of large sums OF money.
