BEEF TRUST TO BE
PROSECUTED
GOVERNMENT WILL PROBE
SOARING OF FRESH
MEAT PRICES.
Boycott Used in Many Cities For
Purpose of Bringing Prices
Within Reach Bids Fair to
Spread-Stockmen to Voice
Alarm.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The beef
trust" so-called, is to be prosecuted by
the national government. The de-
partment of justice evidently believes
it's existence is a leading factor in
maintaining the present high prices of
fresh meats.
The contemplated action of the de-
partment follows an investigation that
has been conducted by special agents
for some months Initial proceedings
will begin before the grand jury at
Chicago, and may include both civil
and criminal actions
The firms mentioned in connection
with this matter include Swift & Co.,
Morris & Co., and Armour & Co., all
of which, it is said, are interested in
the National Packing Company. These
three firms are reported to control the
National corporation.
The aim of the department has been
to ascertain the relations between the
several firms, individually and with
the National Packing Company, to
determine whether they have controlled
the price of fresh meats. One posi-
BILE method of action may be a suit to
dissolve the company, under the Sher-
man anti-trus law, as a concern oper-
ating in restraint of interstate trade.
Near Relating Found
Proceedings against individuals also
may result.
The Investigations conducted by the
department had their inception in an
inquiry into the practices of eastern
railroad in making shipments to Nor
ris & Co. These practices, it was
charged, amounted to rebating.
It was decided that, though the
practices we're improper, they did not
amounnt to rebating. They we're dis
continued.
Upon hearing of the intended action
of the department of justice, Alfred B.
Urion, head of the legal department
of Armour & Co., hurriedly left for
Chicago
Mr.. Urion had been in Washington
more than week watching the devel-
opments in the proposed action, and it
is understood he had some conferences
with the attorney general

tions

water power and that the federal gov
eminent did not have scintilla of right
to it.

cred the forests among the states most
precious possessions and said each

and preserve them. He advocated state
control of water power

trial energy should rest in the state.
Gov. Shaforth, of Colorado, con-
tended that the ownership of land by

government of that land rests in the
state.
Gov. Hadley, Of Missouri, spoke on
railroad rate legislation, declaring that
charges for the transportation of per-
sons and property should be left to

English System State Rights
Discussed = Uniform Legisla-
ton Urged by Civic Federation.

Washington, Jan. 22.-In welcoming
the conference of governors at the
White House President Taft INDUCED
in little good-natured speculation as
to how the English system of executive
authority might work in this country,
especially with respect to giving the
executive the right to argue matters
out with the legislative branch and 90
before the people if necessary. He
said he would like to have a heart-to-
heart talk with some of the governors
as to their method of obtaining legisla-
tion.
II would especially like to ask GOV.
Harmon how he manages with a Re-
publican legislature out in Ohio" said
the president. 81 can assure him that
there are struggles even when you
have congress which is nominally of
your own party.
''There is no use mourning over our
lack of the English system of govern
ment in this country, for we can never
have it; but you governors ,as well as
I, have felt at times the injustice of

seventeen states, said thirty EIGHT states
had enacted uniform negotiable in
strument law, and declared that the
uniform divorce legislation is designed
to put an end to migratory divorce.
