Prominent Packer Takes an
Hour Off and Conducts
Questioners Through the
Big Chicago Plant.
THE BASIS OF BEEF
VALUATION is SHOWN
He Ayers That Only Choice
Parts of Animals Are De-
manded and the Rest Has

(American News Service)

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Louis F. Swift,
president of Swift & Co., one of the
most enthusiastic defenders of the
packers position in the high prices
controversy, today walked through the
stockyards and spent an hour in the
sales department and other branches
of the big plant, personally explaining
the basis of beef valuation and indi-
eating the reasons for high prices in
particular. cuts.
You see," said Mr.. Swift, as he in.
dicated a score or more trucks in
which assortments of meats were dis

the dealer buys depends on his trade

To Prevent Devastation by
the High Water, Dynamite
Was Resorted to Today in
Blowing up Dams.

Paris. Jan. 25.-In a desperate at

dam formed by debris, clogged under
the arches of the historic Pont De

Many OF the suburbs are under wat

rain and snow is causing great suffer

houses is being carried on by Apaches.
Sappers Worked Hard.
The sappers, risking their lives with
the dare-devilishness of campaigners,
had struggled futilely all night at the
Pont de LAlma to chop away the
choked debris that gathered under the
arches. So high was the water that
the wreckage could not pass from un-

Dawn broke without any sign Of re-

most overlapped the levels of the
highest bridges and quays, and it was
showing heavily. ~-ssr.- e.>-.
Hardly Wire in Use.
Scarcely a telephone or telegraph
line from the city was working, and
four of the six underground railroads
were stopped, in some places the water
being almost at the height of the cars.

Increase of Beef Prices Is Not
According to the Law of
Supply and Demand, as the
Meat Trust Has Said.
FIGURES OBTAINED
HAVE PROVEN THIS
Statistics Obtained Show a
Decided Advance in Prices
In One Year, But Supply of
Cattle the Same.

Washington, Jan. 25.-While the
Beef Trust is explaining that the
steady and astounding increases in the
cost of meats are due to the shortage
in the supply and that the demand has
increased disproportionately to the
shipments of live stock, statistics
which have been dug up seem to con-
trovert any such theory.
The following comparative table
would appear to demonstrate that in
crease in the price of beef can scarce
ly be attributed to the shortage of cat
tie.
The figures give the dates of cattle
head received there and the price per

Figures Should Be Reversed.


II, as claimed by the packers in Chi
cago and always heretofore when a
similar issue arose, the cost of beef is
regulated by the law of supply and de-
mand. one would suppose that the fig
ures for December of the last two
years would be reversed That is to
say, with less than 10000 cattle re-
ceived in December, 1908, the pdice
would be greater than in December,
1909. when more than 5000 head ar
rived.
OF course, it is natural for the Off
cials of the department of justice. who
are preparing to prosecute officials of
