PAvES WAY TO PROVE
PACKERS CONSPIRACY

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-By Its slow and
laborious method Of having the books
Of every one OF the big packing con-
Germs examined by its experts, the gov
eminent expects to spring the most
sensational evidence that has yet been
submitted in the trial of the packers
before Federal Judge Carpenter. At
the opening OF court today Harry T.
Timmins, chief accountant OF Morris
Il Co., resumed the task of explaining
the Morris books.
The government will also call for
the books of the National Packing Co.
and expects to show that all the pack
ers used the same methods OF fixing
costs; that every change In the system
was adopted by all the packers and the
National company at the same time
and that at no period was this "Tess
cost" department operated in the in
terest of any individual packers.
District Attorney Wilkerson says he
will show that the Armour test cost
department was simply the logical
trust outgrowth of the Statistical
bureau" operated by Henry Veeder for
the packers before the organization
Of the National company.
1T may take us week and it may
take us three months to show this,
said Wilkerson today. THE method Is
slow, but 1t is absolute. We will prove
by the books of all these concerns
that they we're operating as a syndi-
cate. The whole thing worked as
though there was but single manage
ment in the stock yards"
The packers attorneys made the
most bitter opposition TO the introduc-
ton OF the books. II the methods fol-
lowed In the keeping OF these books
can be intelligently presented to the
jury, the government, II is said, will
have made out its strongest case
against the packers.

days is at it's worst. Not only Is all
traffic by rail and road suspended, but

eight and ten feet deep, rural mail
carriers have been unable to make de-

Saturday the thermometer dropped
TO IL below zero In the fruit belt, and
the impression seems to be general
that the fruit crop for the coming
year will prove total loss. Many
fruit growers also fear their trees
have been destroyed. Their only hope
Is that it may prove that the trees
have been protected by the heavy
covering OF snow The most extreme
cold recorded in the city OF Luding-
ton is IL degrees below. The Pere
Marquette railroad yards at this point
are badly tied up so that II Is almost
impossible TO move cars.
The seven steamers plying out OF
