Records Disappear.

One startling development WAS tho dis
covery that full sets of books OF the diff
ferent packing concerns which had been
scrutinizea by one or more grand jures
have disappeared. Those OF Morris Sc Co.
which were returned to that company in
1909. were swallowed up by the great
vaults In the compauy's office and have
not been seen since. The packers were
actually surprised, they say, To find upon
investigation few DAYS ago that cart
loads of these books have disappeared
Into thin air.
Harry 4. Timmlns. chief accountant
for Morris s: Co, was the last witness of
the day He said he kept the records
OF the two sorts OF costs which arc used
in the business of the company, the one
the memorandum cost, which is used as
a basis in selling beef. aud the other the
bookkeeping cost, which Is used as the
basis upon which annual statements are
made.

with which the government compared the
testimony OF the former witness with his
grand Jury testimony and was able TO
remember bis three performances before

the records showing the cost accounts OF
the company: but said that he had been

today confirmed the report of his reslg-
nation.
Mr. Bacon said that he wished to

basssdorship which he naturally surren-
dcred with regret,

regretted by tho American colony in
Paris. Where he had made himself cN-
tremely popular, and in diplomatic cir
cles, where his qualities are highly sp-
preciated.
