Return to Haunt the Writers
in the Packers Trial
Today

Chicago. Feb. 17.-seven hunded.
twenty-five kilograms sent by T. G.
Lee. manager of Armour & Co.'s beef
department, and his assistants in July
and August, 1910. to eastern represen-
tatives. urging them to obtain higher
prices for dressed meat were intro
duced in evidence by the government
in the packers trial today.
The messages. which were sent
over Armour & Co.'s private wires,
were identified by H. A. Russell. beef
sales manager for the company. who
was on the witness stand all day
The government contends that the
kilograms show that the memorandum
cost was used by Amour & Co. as
basis for the selling price and that
the eastern representatives were con-
for their product.
Failure to obtain the memorandum
cost resulted in the branch house
managers being severely criticised. In
many instances the Chicago Office
threatened to reduce shipments un-
less better prices were obtained. The
government declares that by this sys-
tenn the prices were controlled and
all shipments regulated from the Chi.
cago Office.
One Of the messages read to the
jury ives as follows:
Chicago. Aug. 8. ls1o.-Charles
Custer. Philadelphia: Have you for
gotten how to sell beef? Your show
ing this week is something fierce.
Lee"
Another message read
Philadelphia: Well, I have to give it
to you for the worst work I ever have
seen since have been in the depart
ment. What our Washington houses
did last week has nver been equalled
by any Armour house I ever heard Of

Equipment for the parcels post serv-
ice in Atlanta, including stamps of the
aggregate value of about $1,000 maps

AT THE PLAYHOUSES

present cast it is simply a scream-a
young riot.
Walter Jones, who created the part of
Jimmy several seasons ago, is the ring
leader of the fun, and he is backed up
handsomely by Miss Marjorie Cortland as
Zoie Hardy, the pseudo mother, and Miss
Vera Rail. Jimmys wife.
Beneath all the fun there is the pretty
love story of the wife who is only a
child, and whose heart centers in her love
for her husband-a veriest butterfly, and
just as thoughtless. AS a farce, Baby
Mine" is as good as a comedy, and as a
comedy it is as uproarious as a farce.
And at the popular Lyric prices it
sounds untrue, but suffice 1t to say that
no high price show visiting Atlanta this
season will be any better
Last nights audience gave both Miss
Cortland and Mr. Jones distinct ovations
and rendered due homage to the rest Of
the cast-as 1t should.
Here all week nightly, and matinees to-
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Satur-
day.

9LEUTHS BES|EGE
ROCKEFELLER
MANSION
Confessional Officer Bound to
Summon Oil Kings Brother
to Puio Inquiry.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.--A small army
=, detectives under Sergeant at Arms
charles F Riddell, of the national house
NJ representatives, and his assistant,
Richard White, guarded the town and
country homes Of William Rockefeller
,ojav IN an endeavor to serve MT.
Rockefeller with a subpoena to testify
before the Pujo money trust investigat-
fng committee in Washington.
At Mr.. Rockefellers town house at
40 Fifth avenue the detectives divided
tbsir activities by watching the adjoin-
ing mansions The houses thanking the
Rockefeller mansion on both sides are
occupied by sons-in-law of the Oil mag
maze and the three are known TO be
connected by secret passageways.
A teport was current in the morning
that the much wanted witness was
safely secluded upon mis- great country
estate at Tarrytown, but detectives on
guard there reported that Rockefeller
had not been seen.
Rockefeller VS.. Nation"
1T is now a question" said Mr.. Rid
dell whether Mr. Rockefeller is a, big
ger man than the United States. 1t
seems to me that 1t should not be pos
,ible for one man to set the government
of this great republic at defiance. More
over if Mt Rockefeller eventually es-
Capes service the power and authority
Of the national house of representatives
will fall into disrepute and it will be
difficult for us to get service on any
one in the future"
The detectives and deputy sergeant
alarms about the Rockefeller town
house were placed at intervals of 100
feet and were divided into squads. Each
man carried a duplicate of the sub
Dena.
In addition to putting guards about
he Rockefeller and adjoining resi-
dences. Mr.. Riddell stationed three
men in the courtyards of the ST Regis
hotel which commands a rear view of
The Rockefeller home.
"WiII Be Caught Soon"
q have over twenty men with me
alone, and I think we ought to get MI
Rockefeller very soon" he said. But if
need be I can get twenty thousand here
al @ moments notice. If twenty thou
sand are not enough, l can call out the
entire standing army of the United
States. And we will get Mr.. Rockefel
.er even if we do have to call out the
army our man is not going to beat
The government just because he is d
multi millionaire. We have orders to
serve Mr.. Rockefeller, and we are going
r0 have him within Sc hours. But it is
serious matter. 1t is no joke"
No siege of a rockbound castle ever
earried more of a thrill with it than
The beleaguering of Castle Rockefel-
0er. Every time any one attempts to
Ieaye or enter the mansion, detectives
and deputy sergeants alarms dash up
in body, waving subpenas in their
hands. There was talk Of setting up
tents in the streets around the house
md establishing a regular blvouac, but
This suggestion was treated lightly
