The importance of Indictments like

The importance of indictments like
those just obtained against the Chi
cago packers, popularity identified as
members OF the beef trust, lies in
their being an effort to punish the
individuals who arc alleged to be
RESPONSIBLE for combination in res
traint Of trade, rather than the cor
poration through which they Operate,
or, as the judge put it to the grand
iury. not to 'indict mere alias, "
but the real offenders. The process
OF indicting and causing the dissolu-
ton OF corporations has not produced
the result expected of it. Generally
the dissolved concern has merely
changed it's alias. Forbidden as 4
pool. it became a trust. Prescribed
az a trust, it became a holding com
PAW. The holding company device
falling under the ban, lawyers are
already casting about for some new
"alias." The tendency toward COM
bination may have been somewhat
checked by various court decisions
against individual combinations, but
the process has been far from reversed
Concerning these indictments the New
York Tribune says:
The new tack which the govern
ment appears to be taking may be
more successful if verdicts OF guilty,
followed by prison sentences against
proved monopolists, can be obtained.
Hitherto the belief has been generally
held by prosecuting officers that while
iuries we're ready to indict and find
guilty an "alias" they would balk at
finding the real offenders guilty. 1t
has not yet been conclusively shown
lust what the attitude of the jury is
toward the adage, Guilt is always
personal" In selecting the beef
trust for a test the government has
chosen the most unpopular trust, wheth-
or deserveldy so or not we do not pre-
tend to say. Mr.. James r. Garfield,
who does not incline toward lenlency
with the corporations, after long
inquiry classed it with the good ones.
A Chicago jury may or may not agree
with him.

The Chanler-Chayalieri Agreement.

very far out OF the way when he sent
his famous telegram: Who's loony

Ter when the news that Chanler and
Cavalier had disagreed became public
Attorneys who have examined the
ante-nuptial agreement, unite today IN
agreeing that it is seemingly legal proof.
That this is the opinion of the members
of the Chanler family is indicated by
the intimation from them that they
would be willing to ensure Cavalier a
lump sum of $40, 900, and guaranteed
annuity of S., 900 if she will execute y
quit claim to her husbands pos
sessions.
People who know Cavalier, and who
are amazed over the revelation contain
ed in the agreement filed yesterday. say
that she will hardly accept any such
offer.
Some OF the members Of the CHAMBER
family arc said to favor applying to the
courts for commission for Robert W..
Chambers person and property. They
argue that his action in signing away
everything he has in the world can be
accounted only on the hypothesis that
he was not in his right mind. They
seem to think that it might be possible
to show that he is not responsible. If
the courts should so hold, the ante
nuptial agreement would not be worth
the paper it is written on.
New York, Sept. lin return for
the iron clad ante.nuptial agreement
by which Robert w. Chanler bound
himself to turn over practically all of
his fortune to Lima Cavalier, it dcvel-
opcd today that the pair entered into a
verbal agreement. by which Cavalier
agreed to pay off Chambers debts. clear
his property from its mortgaged in,
debtedness and turn over the first 500
900 coming to her out of the written
agreement to Chanler's first wife, in
settlement OF alimony due from
Chanler.

bal, will be hard to enforce, it is adj
mitted by Chambers friends. 1t indl-
