new HEAD or SECRET
SERVICE IN CHICAGO
will Take Charge Of Evidence
Against The Packers.

Chicago, Oct 90 special dispatch
from Washington says:
Sensational disclosures of attempts
TO thwart the indictment of the beef
packers and oleomargarine moonshin-
ers have led to a determination by
President Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham TO reorganize the govern.
ments secret service force in Chicago.
The department of justice is in pos
session of evidence indicating that po-
litical influences were exerted to ward
off the indictment of the individual
packers and Of the officials of a big
oleo factory in the investigation of
those cases last spring.
In addition, the department has
learned that extraordinary influences
were brought to bear to prevent the
personal indictment of the packers by
the second grand jury in the summer
Extraordinary precautions will be
taken to guard the evidence against
the packers now in the hands of the
government. A step already taken is
the assignment Of Charles de Woody
to take charge of the secret service
bureau at Chicago He is the expert
investigator of the department of JUS
tice and gathered the evidence on
which the packers were indicted.

The situation is acute. Following
the riot in the Horseshoe section,
when nine strikebreakers were hauled
off their wagons despite the efforts o1
the police and terribly beaten, there
were a number of minor outbreaks.
The favorite method of the rioters
is to turn in false alarm of fire anC
then when the police reserves have
responded attack the strikebreakers
Two strikebreakers, Henry Turner
and Frederick Traub of New York
are in a hospital in serious condi
tion following beating, while Police
man Simon also received injuries thai
necessitated his being taken to hos
pital.
A dozen wagons have been burned
In the street.
The strike leaders have issued al
ultimatum saying that all express driv
ers and helpers in this city and ad
jacent towns will strike ii the com
panies do not give In.
They say 10000 men are now out.

LAWYERS in CONFERENCE

Attorneys Representing Carriers in All
Parts of the Country in Session at
New York for Several Days This
Week-Six Sections of Statute Al
legged by Counsel to Be unconsti.
tutionaI.
New York, Oct. 29.--It has been
definitely decided that the railroads
and express companies of the entire
country will unite in an attack through
the courts on the Mann-Elkins act,
which was passed by congress last
June at the urgent solicitation of
President Taft. The act provides for
an interstate commerce court to which
railroads and shippers alike may ap.
peal
The attack on the law was decided
upon by the conference of railroad
lawyers from all parts of the United
States, which has been in session
here for several days under the chair.
manship of Colonel Henry l.. Stone,
general counsel for the Louisville and
Nashville railroad.
The exact course of procedure is in
the hands of a committee of seven
lawyers to be appointed in the near
future by Colonel Stone The names
of the men he viii appoint will not be
made public. Colonel Stone said be
fore leaving for his home that most OF
the lawyers who attended the confer.
| ence desired that secrecy be observed
1t is likely that Colonel Stone will
be chairman of the committee as he
has taken the lead in the discussion
of railroad legislation ever since the
original conference of railroad law.
yers met at Portsmouth, N. H., early
| in August.
Objections 10 inc law.
1t is supposed that the railroads
| will attack the law on the ground of
constitutionality There seems to be
little objection to the newly estab-
lished court of commerce, but a strong
opposition is manifested to the exten-
sion of the powers of the interstate
| commerce commission as provided by
the new law.
The following provisions of the act
are said to be the ones whose consti-
tutionality is questioned by the rail-
road attorneys:
(a) That portion of section 10
which confers power upon the com
| mission to suspend a rate for pos
sible period of ten months.
(b) That portion of section Is
which reserves to the shipper the
right to route freight, when taken in
connection with the Carmack amend
ment to section 90
(c) Long and short hauls and ag-
gregate of intermediate rate clauses,
as contained in section 4.
cd The water route provision con-
tanned in section f.
(e) The provision of section Is
with respect to the establishment of
| through routes and joint classification
and joint rates by the commission.
(D The provision of section 10
imposing the burden of proof upon
| the carrier as to the reasonableness
or justice of increased rates.
