Hides Per Month.


Chicago. Jan. 23.-District Attorney
James H. wilkerson today continued
the task Of untangling the complicated
bookkeeping nsethods Of the packers on
trial for the crfminai violation Of the
Sherman law, with view Of showing
a similarity Of systems in figuring the
test cost Of beef
William E. Weber, general auditor of
the National Packing Company, testi-
flying. read into the record Of the COM
pany's monthly statement Of cattle
killed. the test cost Of beef and allow
ances made for by-products.
District Attorney Wilkerson asked
for the original data from which
specific entries were made but Weber
said the memoranda had been de-
stroyed in the regular course Of busi-
ness.
Examination Of the entries in the
books showed that the National Pack
ing Company did not allow any credit
for hides in 1907 and part Of 1908, in
figuring the test of beef.
The discontinuance Of the practice
was found to correspond in dates with
the period when these credits were
stopped by Armour & CO.. and Morris
& Co.
notwithstanding the fact that the
hide credits were omitted in figuring
the test cost Of beef for nearly year
and half the packers often sold as
many as 100000 worth Of hides a
month according to the books.
