TO DUST PACKERS
OUT OF THE STATE
OF MISSOURI
Attorney General Proceeds
Against Five Companies
ASKS FOR THEIR EXCLUSION
Charges Conspiracy to Control Prices
Of Packing House Products
and Farm Produce

st. Louis, June 21.--Attorney-Gen
eral Elliott Il. Major of Missouri be
gan custer proceedings against five
meat packing companies yesterday by
filing quo warranto informatlons in
the supreme court at Jefferson City.
The companies attacked are Armour
packing company, Morris g. Co, Swift
q Co., Hammond packing company
and st. Louis dressed beef and pro
vision company.
Acknowledgement Major. after he
| filed the suits, said: The suits we're
filed as a result of the examination
conducted recently before former
Judge Daniel w. Dillon. who was
named by the supreme court to pre-
side at the hearings. The Hammond
packing company and the st. Louis
dressed beef and provision company
are owned and controlled In every
matter and detail, both in the pur-
chase of livestock and in the sale of
dressed and finished products by the
National packing company Of New
Jersey. The National packing com
pany. the hearing developed, is owned
by three big packers, Swift Gowns
7-15th, Armour 6-l5th and Morris 2
l5ths While the National owns
these supposedly independent corpor
atoms, It has been holding them out
TO the public as separate entities and
Independent corporations and compe-
titors in business.
In this way these corporations
have been and are used as the device
in controlling the purchase and selling
prices In thus monopoliZing the
field and in controlling the packing in
dustry the entrance of new competi-
tors into the business is practically
prohibited. II have not instituted
suit against the Cudahy packing COM
lpany and the Schwarschild & Sulz-
berger company, because the eXami-
Ination which | conducted was laid
lalong certain lines and led into a field
OF inquiry which did not disclose
whether they were guilty OF any VIC
lations of the law"
The Armour, Swift and Morris com
lpanies are charged with violating tn
antitrust law and conspiracy, and,
with the Hammond and St Louis
dressed beef and provision compan-
les, as subsidiary companies of the
National packing company, with con
spiracy to control the meat packing
business in Missouri. The five COM
panies are named In two petitions
which ask that the corporations be
excluded from all corporate rights
that their licenses be forfeited, and
that all, or such portion OF their prop
erty as the court may deem proper
be conhscated, or in lieu thereof a
fine be imposed
The National packing company, the
information filed in the court yester
day alleges, was chartered In New
Jersey in 1902 with a capital stock
a. SIS, 100000 to engage in meat pack
ing and selling and to hold stock Of
any other corporation. The Natio
nal packing company the petition
says. was not organized in good faith
for the purpose OF engaging in the
business authorized by its charter
but as a corporation scheme to effec
an unlawful trust

Charles Ward Of Pownal Victim
OF Acute Alcoholism
DISCOVERED BY TWO BOYS
PownaI Selectmen Came Here Last
Night and Took Charge Of
Remains

Lying in the open field near the
Morgan sandpit on the North Adams
trolley line, the apparently dead
body of a man, since identified as
Charles Ward of Pownal, was found
Monday afternoon at about sis by
Walter Duncan, an employee of Louis
Briggs. The body was lying near
the union of the lockwood brook and
the south stream. Duncan at once
notified Selectman Frank Cromack,
who in turn, notified States Attorney
William J. Meagher and John Nash.
They at once fastened to the spot
telephoning Health officer H. L.
Stillson, on the way.
They found the body rigid and
without sign Of life. There was
nothing to identify the man, no one
in the rapidly gathering crowd hay
ing ever seen him before. He was
poorly dressed and from his callous-
ed hands 1t was inferred that he was
a farm laborer. DR.. Il. b. Daley,
who shortly arrived, upon examina-
ton pronounced the man in a state
of coma and at once began attempts
lat restoration. After an hours work
however, hope of reviving the man
was abandoned and the body was ia
ken to the Walbridge undertaking
rooms
The difficulty in identifying the
corpse arose from the discoloration of
the mans features which we're a livid

fore he died, however, many recog-
nized him as Charles Ward, a resi-
dent OF Pownal.
The Pownal selectmen were mott
fed and Selectmen H. w. Morgan and
Oyerseer Frank A. Wilson came at
once to Bennington and removed
doubt as to the dead mans identity.
They took charge of the body, notify
ing his relatives in Pownal. The re-
mains were left in the undertaking
rooms because of lack of facilities
| in Pownal.
Ward was seen near the Godfrey
place about an hour before his dis
coyery near the sandpit and II is evil
dent that he had not been long in
the position in which he was found.
DR.. f. b. Daley expressed his opin-
ion of the cause of death as acute al
coholism. The dead man is survived
by wife and seven children. two OF
whom reside in Pownal.
There will be no autopsy by the To-
cal authorities. The funeral will take
place from the church at Center Pow.

Albany. June 20.-Gov. Hughes has
reduced the annual state appropria-

various financial measures and cut.
ting out items In the annual appro-
priation and supply bill. Approprla-
ton bills passed by the legislature
this year totaled $i6,970,57l. After
they had been blue penciled by the
governor and excluding S2.655,6O0 con
tributed to the sinking funds. the to-
tai has been reduced to 500 COL, 22l a

tons last year amounted to S36,242,.

100000 less than were carried in this
years bills. Deductlng the items
eliminated by the governor, this
years appropriations are still S5,i56,-

The states revenues for the com.
ing fiscal year have been estimated
at about S3i,O00.OOO. leaving pros

is probable, however, that additional
sources OF revenue provided by the
Legislature will take care of this de

the governor include practically all
special appropriations for local i'm.

Appropriation in Omnibus Bill
Passed by House
ACT OF A NIGHT SESSION
Additional Sum OF $4,000 May Be
Secured at Future Session Of
Congress
Especial to the Evening Banner)

Washington, June 21.-The omni-
bus bill which contained an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for public building
at Bennington, VT. passed the house
during the evening session last night.
After consultation with President
Taft 1t was thought best by Congress
man ID. ]. Foster TO scale down the
appropriation. The president has not
been particularly favorable toward
the enactment of public building
bill and the concession was made to
meet his views. If another $4,000
is needed to meet the requirements
at Bennington 1t can probably be Sc
cured at future session.
1t has been suggested here that 1t
would be fitting to construct the ex-
terror at least of the building from
Dorset marble. Another suggestion
more favorably received is that the
white granite of Bethel, which forms
the walls of many beautiful and sub
stantial structures throughout the
country be used.
