QUAsHEs INDICTMENT
Judge Lands Sustnlns Demurrer of


Chicago. June 2s.-Judge Lands in
the United States District Court here
to-day sustained the demurrers of tho
so-called s"beef trust" to the lndict-
ment charging q combination in .re-
straint of trade. A new grand Jury
was ordered to renew the investiga-
ton OF the packing companies.
The indictment drawn on evidence
secured by agents of the Federal gov
ernment ran against the National
Packing Company and its ten substd-
larry companies, charging violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law.
Smiles. handclasps and congratula-
tons We're exchanged with much glee
when Judge Lands announced that the
Indictment would not stand, but the
demonstration came to q sudden and
almost breathless end when tho court
added:
Call special grand jury venire Of
seventy-fiye men for July ID.
This body will be ordered to hear
testimony with a view to finding valid
indictments against the packing CONF
panies.
The Indictment quashed to-day failed
to show, in the view Of Judge Lands,
that any offense had been committed
within the last three years.
1t did not show that during this
statutory period the defendants had
been engaged In interstate commerce.
