BEEF PACKERS
TRIAL CONTINUED
New Years Recess is Over and the
Combine is on the Grill
Once More.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
CHICAGO, Jan 2.-The trial of the
beef barons on charges of operating
criminal conspiracy to dominate the
packing industry was resumed before
Federal Judge Carpenter today after
several hours delay because of the
failure of Attorney Pierce Butler of
the government. force to appear in
court.
When Butler arrived, he at once
plunged into the details of the alleged
combine of the packers from 1892 to
1896 of which A. H. Veeder, the gov
ernments second witness testified be-
fore the New Years recess. AS sec
rotary of this pool, Needer was re-
quired to bring into acoufts a large
hundle of documents a series of
questions brought cut that these con,
stituted a record of the penalties as
sessed against individual packers for
violations of their pool agreements
limiting their meat shipments to GER
tain districts. Veeder admitted that a
penalty of forty cents for each hun
dred pounds that the packers exceed.
ed their allotment for any district was
assessed against them and collections
were made once week. Veeder de-
posted these funds in the Northern
Trust company. He said he could not
remember the aggregate amount of
penalties and the government an
nounced its intention of summoning
officials of the trust company.
Veeder stated that Edward j. Mar
tin, representing Armour & Co., in
these conferences was chairman of
the pool and it was upon his orders
that penalties we're assessed and col
lected.
While awaiting the arrival of At
torney Butler conference was held
by the court with the attorneys. An
effort was made to agree upon the
question Of what records of the pack
ing companies and especially the Ma
tional Packing company should be sub
mitted in court The defense objected
to trusting the records to the govern
ment and 1t was suggested that
trustee to take charge of all the docu-
mentary evidence be appointed No
statement was made as to the result
of the conference.
When Butler attempted to secure
the books of the pool yeeder ex-
planned that he had nothing but the
agreements of the packers and their
division of the territory. He said that
all record books of the pool such as
cash books and shipment books had
been lost
Il think they We're swept out with
waste paper" was the witness ex-
PLANTATION.
In explaining the system of penal
ties, Veeder said
The assessments made against any
firm violating the agreement were
turned over pro-rata to those which
had shipped less than the allotted
amount of goods into a given terri
tory
This the government attorneys de-
clared, proves that the packers had
divided profits and shouldered losses
together.
Veeder also said that When prices
began to drop shipments to the ter
ritory affected were curtailed until
they came up again. All such arrange.
ments were made through Martin,

said, is dead

OXNARD TEST|F|ES
IN SUGAR HEARING
Havemeyer Controlled West
ern Sugar Market as
Early as 1891

San Francisco. July 26.-Bv the testi-
mony of Robert oxnard, now president
of the American Sugar company 1t was
shown today in the government inquiry
that II. O. Havemeyer controlled the
western sugar market as well as the 9TH
er territory as far back as 1891. In
letter produced by Assistant United States
Attorney Dorr of New York. dated July
10. 1891 Havemeyer instructed Oxnard
that New Orleans sugar must be mar
keted but that San Francisco sugar
should be so low that the refined product
would not be brought into competition
with the New Orleans output
Another letter under date of April q,
1892. and written to Oxnard. follows:
yours of April Is received. The sugar
refinery has been driven out of the state
of Texas by us, which means that our
price of granulated sugar to the con-
sumner is cheaper than the Sugar Lands
company could supply it, lie now seeks
his market In the Missouri river terri-
tory, which Is yours.
II think II is a good policy for YOU
to sell what sugar you have to market
east OF California. In that territory as
long as you can do that there is no need
of regarding him. If you cannot, you will
have to lower the price to meet eompe-
tition."
Oxnard testified in answer to questions
that the American Sugar Refining COM
pany was sold to the Havcmeyer inter-
ests in 1889, after suit had been begun by
the state of California to dissolve the
company as being Illegally In restraint OF
trade. Dorr holds that the sale was made
to avoid the suit.

United States department of agriculture
and Il. l.. Worsham, state entomoogisL

ting forth measures for checking the ad-
vance of the plague. After pointing out
that the worm begins its work In bottom
lands and appearing first in grass, where
it can be most easily destroyed, the bulle-
tin says:
Farmers should, therefore. carefully
watch all such places and on the first
appearance of the worm either dust with
powdered arsenate of lead. undiluted or
mixed at the rate of one pound of arse
nate of lead to four or five pounds of
flour, using three pounds of the poison
or eight or nine pounds of the diluted to
the acre. or the arsenate of lead paste
form may be used in the form of a spray,
the strength of two TO three pounds of
arsenate to 50 gallons of water with
equal quantities of unslaked lime. Spray
ing is preferable for young corn
Paris fireen also will poison the worms,
II is stated but is not so safe to use.
when worms are marching" the bull
letin continues, fields can sometimes
be protected by running a deep furrow
around the edge ahead of the worms,
leaving straight side next to the field to
be protected. When worms collect here
drag log through furrow.
THE third generation of worms is now
entering the ground to transform into
moths. These deposit eggs which, hatch
ing within a short time, will produce an.
other generation of worms.

Plan Is Taking Definite
Shape-To Dispel Distrust
of l. atin-America

Washington, July ga quiet move
ment began some time ago aiming at a
Tightening of the bonds of sympathy
and interest among the states of the
western hemisphere, is beginning to
take tangible form and, in the near
future, 1t is expected a great Pan
American conference Will be held
probably in Washington, II was stated
today, although some other national
capital may be selected. Recognizing
the feeling of distrust on the part OF
the smaller republics of America
to their more prolific neighbors, an eff
fort Is to be made to weld together
public men OF high intelligence in the
various countries for the common pur-
pose of diminishing international fric-
ton and the risks of war by the crea-
tion of a Pan-American international
law conference.
The principal spirits in the enterprise
have been DR.. James Brown Scott. sec
rotary of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, and JurisconsuIt
Alvarez, one of the most renowned of
Chilean publicists.
Last October the men sent out a Sc
ries of confidential notes to public
men of high character throughout
South and Central America outlining
briefly the scheme for the projected
conference which may do for the Amer
leans what the famous interna tional
law conference has been doing for Eu-
rope.
The plan contemplates the creation
of the Pan-American conference on o
basis of a membership of five interpa-
tiona1 lawyers in each of the republics.
These men would be selected by local
or national law societies insuring a
thoroughly representative gathering.
One meeting held in Washington last
April without attracting any great at
tention selected the members of the
first conference who, 1t is stated, will
give place to those hereafter elected
by the various national associations.
constitution and bylaws were agreed
upon and these have been sent to the
temporary members with a request
that they submit amendments and ex-
press their opinions.
The members are also invited to se-
cure expressions from their institutes
as TO the proper time and place for
the first an-American international
conference to be held some time In
1913. To further the plan special edi-
ton in Spanish of the magazine of
the Carnegie endowment is being sent
to all of the American republics
