PACKERS ESCAPE
JAIL SENTENCES
Misdemeanor Only Is Charged
in Indictments Returned
by Jury at Chicago.
FINES MAY BE IMPOSED
Prosecution Possible Under Provi-
sions of Antitrust Law for
Dissolution of Combine.

Chicago, July 5.-Chicago's packers
under Indictment for alleged restraint
of the meat industry in violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law, are facic (
punishment for a misdemeanor anG
not for penal offense.
A conviction under the 10,000-woTi
true bill pending against the 10 pack
ers, according TO revelations yester-
day, means that fine may be imposed
and prosecution started, if the gcy-
ernmcnt so wills, under the civil pro-
visions of the antitrust law for a dis
solution of the so-called trust.
Conviction under the state law for
a misdemeanor might entail a worK-
house sentence, but the federal gov
ernment has no workhouse. At any
event the rumors of demands to be
made by the government for peniten-
tiaESahsgaagaeeS. for the packers in
event of their being found guilty are
erroneous.
PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
Some light was shed on the question
of punishment in event of the packers
conviction, when counsel representing
them appeared before Judge Carpenter
in the United States district coUI t
and by proxy entered pleas of not
guilty ON behalf of their clients. None
of the packers appeared in person.
The formal procedure, a climax to
the months of battling which have
been waged over technical objections
and onslaughts on the validity of the
law. occupied but five minutes time
Judge Carpenter ordered the pleas en-
tered on the record.
James II. Wilkerson, special assist
ant to the attorney general in charge
of the beef trust case, raised the
question as to whether the proceed
ings would be clouded by the non-ap-
pearance personally of the defendants,
but was assured by John s. Miller,
Ralph Crews and George T. BuckipE-
ham. their counsel, that they would
appear personally on November 20,
the date set for trial, and renew their
pleas if the court saw fit to so order.
MISDEMEANOR ONLY.
The failure of the packers to appear
personally brought out the disclosure
as to the impending cases. In criminal
procedure where a defendant is
charged with an Offense which in even.
Of his conviction may result in the re-
straining of his liberty, the law makes
it imperative that he enter a personal

Washington, July 6.-The govern

ciate the great coal carrying railroads
from their virtual control of mines and
thus vitalize the commodity clause OF
the interstate commerce law. a test
case against the Lehigh Valley rail
road is being tried today in the federal

high Valley Coal company; Cox Bros,
New York, and the Middlefeld Rail

Mountain Coal & Iron company are not
bona fide coal companies, but merely
adjuncts to the Lehigh Valley railroad
and are devices for evading the COM

1t is alleged that the Lehigh Valley
railroad with the object of removing
competition, has caused the Lehigh
Valley Coal company to contract at a
loss for the output of other anthracite
operators, and has transported coal
over it's own lines and through the coal
company at a fixed price in New York
