BEEF TRUST BILLS. ARE VOID
Judge Lands Sustains Demurrer oi
Chicago Packers.
ANOTHER GRAND JURY CALLED
Not shown that Any Offense IL COM
mitted or that Companies Are
Engaged in Interstate
Commerce.

CHICAGO. June 23-Judge Lands In the
United States district court here today
sustained the demurrers of the so-called
beef trust" to the indictment charging a
combination in restraint of trade. new
grand jury was ordered to renew the in
vestigation Of the packing companies.
The Indictment drawn on evidence secured
by agents of the federal government ran
against the National Packing company
and its ten subsidiary companies, charging
violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
Smiles, handclaps and congratulations
were exchanged with much glee when
Judge Lands announced that the indict-
ment would not stand. but the demonstra-
end when the court added:
Call a special grand jury venire of
seventy-five men for July a."
This body will be ordered to hear testi-
mony with a view to finding valid indict-
ments against the packing companies.
The indictment quashed today 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 dur
ing this statutory period the defendants
had been engaged in interstate commerce.
The general averment that the packing
companies engaged in a combination in re-
straint of trade, the court declared to be a
mere conclusion. Judge Lands said:
The court is not clothed with authority
to supply, entirely by inference the COM
plete omission OF so fundamental an ele-
ment Of the offense."

Base Ball Games
at Fort Banks
Old Federal Law Gives State the
Right to Stop Sport of the
Soldiers.

BOSTON, Mass, June 23.-United states
District Attorney French has informed the
soldiers at Fort Banks, Winthrop, that
Sunday base ball playing at the fort which
has been going on for the last three years,
must cease.
Sunday base ball playing has been al
lowed on government lands in Massachu-
sets, but Mr.. French finds it is made a
criminal offense under a law of the United
States which provides that where no pun
ishment for any offense on government
lands is provided. the offender is liable to
punishment under the laws Of the state in
which the lands are situated.
Massachusetts laws prohibit Sunday base
ball games.
Complaints were made to the district at
torney by Rev. Frederick M White, pastor
of the First Baptist church of Winthrop,
and by others who want Sunday ball play
ing to cease. Mr.. White also has written
to the War department.

MURDER MYSTERY IS SOLVED
Dying Man Accuses Another of Long
Forgotten Crime.
AUSTIN CAMPBELL IS ARRESTED
Mrs. II. G. COttey Gives Kansas City
Chief Information Her Son Told
Her on His Death Bed-Beat
Neil Hanrahan to Death.

From the revelation of a man on his
deathbed in Kansas City, the Omaha po-
lice Thursday morning uncovered the mys-
terry of a murder committed two years
ago, and arrested the man charged with
the murder. -
Detectives Mcdonald Saud Dunn arrested
Austin Campbell. 1916 South Eighth street
as the murderer of Neil Hanrahan Novem-
Der g. 1907, through the story told by +. e.
Cottey, few minutes before he died.
Mrs. Cottey declared her son had told her
as death was coming upon him, that Camp
bell had beaten man to death in the rail-
road yards of South Omaha two years be-
fore. Cottey explained he had not divulged
the gruesome story before because he
feared Campbell would kill him if he did
she said.
Acting quickly, Captain Savage detailed
Mcdonald and Dunn on the case and made
Investigations of the story. 1t was found
from Sheriff Bradley that a murder had
been committed, as Cottey had said. The
victim of the murder was Neil Hanrahan.
His murderer had never been identified
According to Bradley, the murder occurred
at Twenty-eighth and l. street in the rail-
road yards at South Omaha.
Campbell gave himself up on the call
of the detectives without resistance He
declared his real address was on Fourteenth
street.
The information which led to the un-
covering OF the crime, came to the Omaha
police in letter from the chief of police
of Kansas City Mo-, which was given to
him by Mrs. r. c. Cottey of Ills Holmes
street of that city. following the death of
her son.
Neil Hanrahan is remembered in police
circles in South Omaha and also the cir
