 With the offering of a $500 reward by the Birmingham Railway, Light ard Power company for the arrest and con- viction of the person or persons wllo were responsible of wreckage of a South Ensley street car, several investigations are being made. There is a general opinion, however, that the ear was wrecked by an accident to the work ing machinery, and was not the result of any wilful intent to injrIre the cal or its occupants.

THE SUPREME COURT TO HEAR ARGUMENTS
 IN PACKERS CASE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D


 porations James Rudolph Garfield, began, not for prosecution, but for the use of the department of commerce and labor, an investigation of the alleged beef trust.
 Information desired by the commissions CT was given by the packers under prom ise by Garfield that they would be lin- mune from prosecution by the govern ment for any violation of the antitrust laws as they might be revealed in the in- formation. Judge Humphreys held that on this account the packers could not be called upon to answer the charges in the government indictment. Hence the i'm munity bath
 In 1908 a new Investigation was begun and dropped with no apparent reason. In 1909 still another investigation was be- gun in Chicago. In March, 1910 the fed eral grand jury returned an indictment against the National Packing company and it's subsidiary concerns. A bill in equity was fied-asking that the National Packing company be dissolved
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-04
Indictments Quashed

In June of the same year Judge Landis uuashed the indictment. At this time a new grand jury investigation was ordered. The packers after hard fight, were in dicted September F, 1910, and then began another long fight to prevent the cases from coming to trial, Every legal expe-
 ilent known to high trained corporation lawyers was resorted to. These attorneys raised new contention and one that was extraordinary. They pleaded this:
 That the beef barons could not be in- dicted because of the immunity bath" granted them by Judge Humphreys. They contended that the packers were permit
 ter by virtue of this bath to go ahead and form a mbination-athough they
 did not admit that this had been done and to do whatever they liked with the fresh meat business of the country. The contention was new. The packers asked for the quashing of the indictments
 In March of the present year Judge Carpenter rendered his decision refusing to euash the indictment and ordering the indicted packers trial. The decision in the Standard oil case afforded the pack CTS some hope that the government might drop It's case against the Chicago men, This hope was abandoned, however, and the packers counsel sought further de- lay by attacking the validity of the crim. inal action of the sherman law.
