BEEF COST EXPERT HEARD
Unwilling Witness in Trust Inquiry
at Chicago.

Chicago.-Thomas Hoops, beef cost ex.
pert for Morris 4 Co., was ON the stand
before the grand jury for more than
three hours in the beef trust inquiry, and
from his unwilling lips is said to have
been drawn the secret of just how the
combine has been collecting rebates from
the railroads.
Discovery is said to have come from
his testimony that all beef shipped by
the packers TO and from their branch
plants and the Chicago stock yards is
valued in the shipping bills at about
two and half times the actual selling
value.
The result is that for every $4,000
worth of claims for damages or delay
the trust has been getting 1000 from
the railroads. This system is said 10
have been operated with the consent and
eonnivance of the railroads Those rail-
roads which refused to enter into the
deal got no business.
