Memphis, Tenn.-The Mississippi river
at Memphis is higher than it has ever

Sunday night at o'clock the gauge
showed stage of 40.4 feet, just one

A stage of at least .43 feet is now in

.'Just how much higher than 43 feet
the river will go is hard to tell" said
Mr.. Emery. The water is still coming
out of the Missouri and the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers, and there is
enough already in sight to keep the
river on the rise for more than week.
"The rise for the twenty-four hours
was the greatest that has ever occurred
here in the same length of time since

would have amounted to four or five

THE VERDICT WAS UNANIMOUS
Nineteen-Hour Deliberation Seemed to
Indicate Struggle Among jury

Chicago.-Chicago packers ended ten
years legal battle with the government
when jury in United States District
Judge Carpenters court found them not
guilty of violating the criminal section
of the Sherman antitrust law.
Whether further investigation in the
beef packins industry vii be made, Dis
trict Attorney Wilkerson refused to say.
The verdict came after the jury had
been out nineteen hours. AT no time
during the deliberations were the pack
ers in danger Only three ballots were
taken. The first was eight to four for
acquittal, the second eleven to one, and
the verdict came with the third
Failure of the government to prove
its case beyond reasonable doubt was
responsible for the verdict, several jurors
said They did not review the exhibits
in the case. The mass of figures and
reports mystiiied them.
After the announcement of the verdict
in the packers trial provisions advanced
all around The rise was Is cents for
pork and bacon and 7 1-2 to 10 cents
Tor lard
The addition to the cost of the packing
house products was attributed on change
to active covering by shorts and to SYM
pathy with bulge in the price of corn.
Swift & Co. shares advanced 2 3-4
points on the Chicago Stock Exchange an
hour before the verdict. After the jury
had come in further jump upward oc-

points.
The verdict came as surprise to

and had feared that the 19-hour wait
meant long drawn battle in the jury
