TEN PACKERS In NET
Officials of Swift, Armour and Morris
Companies Must Answer to Federal
Court in Govrnment Beef Probe.

Chicago, Sept 13.-The federal grand
jury. which has been Investigating Chi
cago packers. late yesterday returned
indictments against ten high officials
of the Swift, Armour and Morris con-
Germs
There are three indictments against
EACH charging com mbination. conspiracy
and illegal monopoly
The men indicted are l.. f. Swift,
president Of Swift & Co.. Edward
Swift, vice president of Swift & Co:
Charles II. Swift, director of Swift q
Co.: Francis A. Fowler, director of
Swift & Co; Edward Tilden. president
Of the National Packing Company; j.
ogden Armour. president Of Armour &
Co.; Arthur Meeker, general manager
of Armour & Co.; Thomas j. Connors,
superintendents Of Armour & Co.; Ed
ward Morris, president of Morris &
Co.. and Louis H. Hcyman, manager
OF Morris & Co.
The first Indictment in detail charges
all the defendants with engaging in a
combination in restraint of interstate
trade in fresh meats. The second
charges conspiracy
The third charras the defendants
with monopolizi1g the trade in fresh
meats by unlawful means.
That the purpose of the grand jury
inquiry was the Indictment of individ-
uals rather than the packing corpora
tions was shown when Judge Kenesaw
NJ. Lands, famous for the S29,000,000
Standard Oil fine, launched the investi-
cation.
1T sometimes happens that a person
about to violate the law takes Il name
other than his own said Judge Lands
in his charge to the jury. John Jones,
undertaking to counterfeit gold dollars
changes his name to John Smith of the
Metals, Fabricating Company, and un-
der that name does the thing forbidden
by law.
"1f your investigation discloses such
a case, do not indict mere alias, but
follow the trail wherever it may lead
until you have located, identified and
pointed out the real offenders"
The investigation which has just
ended was the second started by Judge
Lands within a year. On Jan. 30, he
ordered a grand jury inquiry which on
March 90 indicted the National Pack
ing Company and ten subsidiary con-
Germs.

McGillicuddy, who has been running
for congress pretty regularly for
dozen years or more, has defeated
Swasey. Could has won In the Third
over Congressman Burleigh, and in the
remaining district-the Fourth-Con-
gresham Frank E. Guernsey (Rep) ad-
mits the result is in doubt.
On top Of this Chairman Beane, OF
the democratic state committee claims
the election of a democratic legislature.
which will elect a successor to United
States Senator Eugene Hale.
1t is certain the democrats have made
big gains in the Legislature, and they
may be able to dictate legislation, if
not actually control II.
A VeritabIe Landslide.
The popular choice of Plaisted for
governor came as the result of a verit-
able landslide. In two decades the
normal republican plurality in Maine
has fallen from 10000 to the vanishing
point, and today the democrats have
swept their candidate into the state
Office with plurality larger by 2,ooo
or more than they dared to hope for.
Tho it was admitted everywhere that
the republicans needed every possible
vote they could take and scrape TO-
gether, 1t was not thought by the most
competent observers in the state that
Plaisted could win, and last night, as
the returns came in showing the dem
ocratic triumph, the republican leaders
We're at first unbelieving, and then
aghast at the size of the democratic
victory, for it is no small undertaking
in a state whose traditions are as fixed
as here to shift a republican plurality
two years ago Of 1900 to a democratic
plurality of 5000
Tariff a Big Factor.
The feeling of ten days ago that only
local issues would govern proves to
have been not entirely correct. 1t was
last night apparent that the insurgency
that has prevailed in the middle west
had considerable influence in the con-
greSsional campaign here. The local
issues can be made to account for the
defeat Of Fernald for governor, but
these issues form little or no part or
the arguments of the democratic can
didate for congress.
McGillicuddy, for instance has
preached the doctrine of tariff revision
as a cure for high prices. and in the
First district Sneaker Cannon's clear
relations with Kinds clearly hurt that
candidates campaign. In the Third
district the democrats preached against
the tariff with telling effect
The democratic stronghoids. as was
expected, were the cities. Fourteen of
the twenty in the state went democra-
tic, some by very large pluralities.
Waterville. for instance. gave Plaisted
1887. to 724 for Fernald. a plurality
Of 5S3, the largest ever given any can
didate for any public office Plaisted
carried Biddeford by 1910 against 664,
and Saco gave Plaisted a plurality OF
las. kennebec county went democra-
tic solidly. This county contains the

Question Raised as 10 Right of Com
mitteemen to Vote Proxies-5aIlin-
oer,s Friends Find Themselves in
Same Predicament With Minority
and Neither Report May Be Valid.

Chicago. Sept. ia meeting OF re-
publican members of the Balliise'
Pinchot investigation committee se-
FOR today. was delayed by the failure Oh
Chairman Nelson TO arrive at the ap-
nointed hour. However, it was SAID ne
would arrive later The democratic
n,emb bers, and Madison. OF Kansas M
surgent, failed to attend, leaving the
without quorum. However.
il was reported that Nelson has let
ter from Senator Flint, who is abroad
authorizing Nelson to cast FIints vote
with the majority OF republicans. Aais
would give them quorum
Is Proxy Valid?
The whole question of what the COM
mittee will do here depends, it is said,
upon whether any of them holds the
proxy of Senator Flint. of California,
who is in Europe and whether the
proxy can be legally voted.
When Congressman Madison. the in
surgent republican, and Congressman
James and Graham and Senators
were preparing to execute their coup
Sutherland and Representative Mccall
absented themselves from the meeting.
Chairman Nelson then ruled that no
quorum was present, six not being a
majority of the twelve members Of
the committee.
If six was not a quorum then. 1t can
not be now, according to the demo-
Gratis who presented their report last
week, exonerating Pinchot. They de-
clared it to be their belief that some
one held Senator F1int's proxy, but
they said they did not believe it could
be voted. If their contention holds
good and the members of the commit
tee now in Chicago exonerate Balm
ger. as it is thought they are preparing
to do, two separate reports, neither Of
them valid, will be presented to con-
gress.
Chairman Nelson arrived late this
afternoon and the republican mem
hers of the committee went into exc
cutiVe session.

SHOCKS WASHINGTON
Democratic Landslide in Maine Staq-
gers the Standpatters

gers the Standpatters.
Washington, Sept. 13-Official Wash
1ngton was greatly shocked by the re-
ports from Maine of a democratic VIC
tory. The seriousness Of the situation
from a republican point of view has
been admitted, but fond hopes were
entertained that the worst would be
a material cut in the normal republi-
can majorities.
There Is wide divergence of opinion
as to the significance Of the elections.
Senator Hale, for years in control Of
Maine politics, a standpatter and ex-
treme conservative, realizing the
change in sentiment and feeling. unable
to stem the growth of the progressive
movement. announced that he would
not be a candidate for reelection.
Sacrifice is in Vain.
But his sacrifice of political ambi-
tions was not sufficient. The move
ment was not directed as much against
individuals as against principles. The
republican candidates for congress rep
resented upon the leading issues Of the
day the same conservatism that Mr.
Hale has for many years. The people
Of the state were offered no change
of policy short Of a change in the
politics Of the controlling party
The issues were squarelv made. and
stubbornly contested. The best cam
paigning material at the command Of
the republican congressional commit
tee was thrown into the state to sup
port the candidates, all of whom were
regulars. Probably It will be charged
by the old war horses that democratic
success was due to progressive repub
lican votes. There will also be a dis
position to question how far Mr.. Hale
exercised his strength to rebuke those
within his own party who forced his
retirement.
The result will be construed in dem
ocratic circles as presaging a demo-
cratic landslide in November.
Credit Due Proeressives.
In certain quarters full credit will be
claimed for the progressive republi-
can faction and promises will be heard
that. with the hide bound standpatters
and extreme radicals out of control the
democratic reign will be shortlived
and that normal republican majorities
will be restored with the return of the
party to issues popular with the peo-
pie.
1t is predicted by democrats here that
the effect of the democratic victory in
Maine will be widespread and that
many wavering votes will be gained
fer the democratic candidates thruout
the country.
The result is a staggering blow to
the old machine in Maine one from
which it may never recover
There will be a disposition to credit
the defeat Of Asher c. Hines. parlia-
mentary clerk to Speaker Cannon, as
a rebuke to Cannonsm. He, however,
had hard contest for the nomination
and by his success drove from his sup
port number Of Hale republicans.
