United States will be Obliged to rec

as an international port of entry.
He will be able to receive mer-

The recognition Of his belligerency
assumes the first degree of import

through Senior Vasconcelos, the act

will be made, probably today, to Sc
cure such recognition from the
State Department. Indications are
that such a request will not be
granted, for the present at least.
There is this serious objection to

MUST ANSWER TO
CRIMINAL CHARGE
Millionaire Packers Charged With
Controlling Meat Prices Fail in
a Bitter Fight TO Avoid Grim
inal Prosecution.

Chicago, May i2.-In a ruling
handed down today, Judge Carpen-
ter. in the Federal court, held that
the Sherman antitrust law was
constitutional and that the ten mill
lionaire packers, indicted indivldu-
ally on criminal charges growing
out OF the formation Of the alleged
beef trust, would have TO stand
trial on those indictments. The
court overruled demurrers filed by
the packers.
This was the fourth unsuccessful
attempt OF the packers to evade
trial on the indictments. In each
case, the ruling has been unequivo-
|cally against them. In other cases
they pleaded immunity from prose-
|cution because they had testified in
a beef trust investigation by the
grand jury several years ago.
Judge Carpenter held that the
sherman law defines acts declared
TO be unlawful in simple English
and that the purpose Of the act
from the language used, is as plain
as can be. The decision tore down
the final barrier counsel for the
packers had erected to stop federal
Investigation. 1t is possible further
Illegal subterfuges may be resorted
Ito, but ii is believed nothing now
would avail the packers.
The men who are indicted are:
j. Ogden Armour. president of Ar
!mour 4 Co.
Louis +. Swift, president of Swift
|& Co.
Edward II. Swift, vice president OF
Swift a. Co.
Charles H. Swift, director Of Swift
Ia Co.
Edward Tilden, president National
Packing Co.
| Arthur Meeker, general manager
|of Armour g. Co.
Edward Norris, president of Nor
Iris & Co.
Francis A. Fowler, director of
lSwift & Co.
Thomas J. Connors, superintendent
|of Armour & Go.
Louis II. Heyman, manager OF
morris & Co.
| The packers are charged on three
lcounts with conspiracy to control
fresh meat prices, with entering into
la combine TO control the fresh meat
market through the formation of
1.-THE National Packing Co., and with
seeking to monopolize the fresh
|meat business of the country
through violations of the Sherman
ANTITRUST law.
Judge Carpenters decision is the
latest chapter in a serial fight last
ing for eight years, in which the
packers have repeatedly put off APP
pearance. The first investigation of
the trust started in 1908 and in the
following year the packers gave in
formation about their business to
the commissioner of corporations
on which they claimed immunity.
This testimony has been the basis
|of immunity pleas ever since.
John S. Miller, counsel for the
packers. admitted today that he
Thought they would go to trial."
1T will not be until fall" he said.
II don't believe the government
would ask for the case before that
time"
