against ten high officials of the Swift,

charging combination, conspiracy and
illegal monopoly.
First Indictment in detail charges
all the defendants with engaging in

fresh meat. The second charges then
with conspiracy. The third charges
the defendants with monopolizing the
trade in fresh meats by unlawfu

ALASKA GOLD VALUED
AT S57,50O STOLEN
Lead Pigs Are Substituted for

SEATTLE.-Gold bullion valued at
$57,50O, part of a shipment of $470,ooo
from the Washington-Alaska Bank of
Fairbanks, Alaska, to the Dexter-Hor-
ton National Bank of Seattle, on the
steamship humboldt, was stolen in
transit and lead substituted in the
strong box that had contained the
bullion.
The gold when it left Fairbanks
on Yukon River steamer for Daw-
son and White Horse was contained
in three wooden boxes and was In the
care of the Alaska-Pacific Express
Company. When the boxes were
opened by the Canadian customs o:d-
cials at Dawson the gold bars were
found to be as stated in the express
company's papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States assay office in Seattle,
| and one contained pigs OF lead, not or
gold. The seals of the box were in
it was evident that the robbery had
been committed by removing cne
end of the box. The gold was in
! sured eagainst loss by the express
company.
| 1t is supposed that the gold was
stolen on the Yukon steamer between
Dawson and White Horse, or ON the
steamer Humboldt between Skagway
and Seattle. There would have beer
small opportunity for robbery in tht
essay office or in the short railroad
run from White Horse to Skagway
The gold weighed 250 pounds, and th'
: disposal of such heavy plunder mus
. have required time and preparation
The gold was in the purser's cabiI
: and it is not customary on the golt
ships to take elaborate precautio'

of produce hauled from the farm to
the market bears an inflated price be-
cause of the excessive cost of its trans

For instance, it costs an average of
almost 2 cents more to haul bushel
Of wheat from the farm to the station
nine miles away than it does to ship
bushel of wheat from New York to
Liverpool, 3,100 miles away. This ex-
cessive transportation cost must be
made up by the farmer in charging
more for his wheat. by the miller in
charging more for the -four, by the
baker in charging more for bread and
finally, of course, by the ultimate con
