REPORT OF CHICAGO
VICE COMMISSION GREAT

Chicago, April 13.-The report of
the Chicago Vice Commission prom
ises to become the greatest Of the
things accomplished during Mayor
Busse's administration, and there
have been several things of note
The studies and reports concerning
harbors, smoke, water, employment,
milk, the city plan and the railroad
terminal plan were important. The
report of the Vice Commission, how
ever, Notwithstanding that Mayor
Harrison is opposed to recommends
lions and favors segregation, was so
and conservative al
though appalling in the facts reveal
ed, that the momentum of Its effect
Is growing.
The report was triumph for the
study of a municipal problem by q
commission, a method which is gain
ing in favor not only in social sub
jects. In franchise matters the cor
porations with most at stake are
accepting the method so far prefer
able to solving political situations in
the large cities, as was shown re-
Gently in the declaration of President
Theodore N. Vail Of the Bell Tele-
phone system that regulation of
public utilities by commissions has
come to stay and ought to stay"
The record of the Busse admins
tration also includes an increase in
departmental efficiency, partly as re-
suit of the Merriam commissions
work, the building Of the new city
hall, a splendid building economical
ly built, and street railway rehabili-
tations. The gain during the four
years in many important ways is con-
coded by all parties.

TRIAL OF INDICTED
PACKERS BEGINS IN CHICAGO

| Chicago, Ill.,, April l3.--Demur-
rers in the governments case against
| the ten Chicago meat packers charg-
ed in three federal indictments with
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law and with conspiracy in restraint
of trade came up for argument today
before United States District Judge
George A. Carpenter. In their de-
murrer the packers contend that the
antitrust act of 1890 under which
all monopoly suits are brought in the
United States. does not create any
crime.
The basis for this contention is,
that the statute does not define any
offense against the United States
with sufficient certainty to inform
the defendants of the nature Of the
crime or offense with which they are
charged, and the same in so far as
it undertakes to create crime Is
invalid, void, and contrary to the
United States constitution" The de-
murrer also contends that 1.-The de-
this action, on which the Indictment
is based, is not one by which the
defendants were or are able to know,
in advance, whether the acts were
criminal or not. THE indictments
also are attacked as of faulty prep
aration.
Il appears to be the general belief
here that the counsel for the pack
ers have exhausted every resource
known to the law in the eight years
fight to escape trial and that unless
unforeseen complications arise the
indicted members of the so-called
beef trust will be called to the bar
within the next few weeks.
Prosecutors for the department of
justice and the great corps OF at
torneys for the defense are planning
the greatest legal battle ever waged
in federal court. From the stand
point of the department of justice
the case will break all records in
volume of testimony. Already more
than 100 witnesses have been sub
poenaed.
The majority of witnesses to be
called are retail and wholesale meat
dealers, former officials of Chicago
packing companies and out of town
packers. Many already have given
evidence before the federal grand
jury which returned the true bills.
The s15,0OO,OO0 corporation
known as the National Packing COM
pany will bear the brunt of the at
tack on the part of the government.
It is alleged to be the holding COM
pany for the various packing con-
