Havc Much Evidcncc-Dcpartmc OF
Justice Officials Said to Have Proof
Against Packers That They Raised

Washington, Aug. 21.-There were
strong indications today that at least
six grand juries in as many different
localities of the country would be
asked to return indictments against
food dealers alleged to have raised the
prices in a conspiracy to violate the
Sherman antitrust act.
Juries are almost certain to be
asked for indictments in Washington,
Chicago, Brooklyn and three other
cities, the names Of which the depart
ment at present will not reveal. In
Chicago an immediate effort will DE
made to Jail offenders.

vestigation.
Mr.. Lyman, representing Armour &
Co., Of Chicago, said the department
Of agriculture on August l warned
farmers to hold their grain because
there was lack Of shipping facilities
due to the war abroad. The farmers
he declared, assumed the lack of
transportation means would apply to
cattle as we'll, and they failed to send
the normal amount Of beef to mar
ket.
The witness said the arrival tomor-
row Of the steamship Zinol with a
cargo Of $4,000 quarters of Argentine
beef would relieve the situation to a
great extent.
In Brooklyn federal and county au-
thorities continued separate investi-
cations. Before a United States grand
jury wholesale dealers testified re-
sarding increased grain and sugar
prices blaming farmers for holding
back the farm staples and on the
war for preventing normal American
imports of sugar.
1t was understood at the federal
building that testimony developed by
United States Attorney Young recent
ly prOpably would lead to indictments.
The county inquiry before a su-
preme court justice developed that
large quantities Of sugar have been
stored in warehouses by dealers and
that many companies have been
asked to store sugar indefinitely.
Henry +. Cochranc, counsel for the
American Sugar Refining company,
said:
1--WE have to depend on foreign
countries for our raw material and
the transportation facilities that have
brought it from abroad have been
almost entirely destroyed. No ships
arc now available and the prospects
for resumption of importation is
problematical."
William Gardiner, q sugar expert
and statistician. testified that the
Cuban crop, which supplies the bulk
of raw sugar used in the United States
is plentiful this year and that this
has been brought to this country up
to the present time.

Mexico City, Aug. 2O.-Gen. Venus
tianO Carranza, supreme chief of the
Mexican revolution and from today
provisional president Of the republic,
entered the capital at noon. 1t is
estimated that more than $50, 900 per-
sons crowded the line of march of the
new president and his followers, which
extended from the village Of AtzcapOt-
ZalcO to the National Palace, six miles
There was no disorder as Gen. Car
rama and his staff passed through
the cheering crowds, which showercd
them with flowers and confetti and
from which came cries OF "long live
Carranza; long live the constitutional
ist government"
The cOnstitutiOnalist troops at dawn
began forming in n double line along
the entire distance over which the
victorious constitutiOnalist leader was
to pass. Back of the troops sight
seers stood and every roof and balcony
held spectators.
1t was near noon when Gen. Car
rama, mounted on a superb horse and
accompanied by his staff and the gem
erals of the northwest aid the central
and northeast division Of the consti-
tutionalist> army, left Atzcapotzalco,
escorted by squadron Of cavalry and
the Fourth Sonora battalion Of infan-
try. On reaching the city limits the
column was met by the mayor and
the city council Of the capital, who de-
livered to Gen. Carranza the keys Of
the city.
The cavalcade then proceeded to
the historic Chapultepec castle where
two batteries Of artillery fired salute
in honor Of the new chief executive.
Here the parade turned down the
beautiful PasO de la RefOrma avenue
which leads from the castle to the
National Palace. Along this avenue
were grouped hundreds of school chill
dren each carrying a bouquet and a
Mexican flag. AS CarranZa passed
they sang a hymn written for the oc-
casion, entitled, "Urion and Liberty
When the procession reached the
National Palace it halted that the
chief executive might receive at the
hands of a delegation Of workmen the
flag which President Madero dropped
ut that very spot on the ninth Of
February, 1912. the date Of the HUI
erta-Diaz uprising.
Passing down The Avenida San
Francisco the crowds gave the new
president a continuous ovation. This
avenue leads to the historic Plaza de
la Constitution, the cathedral and the
national and municipal place forming
It's sides. Here an immense throny
vociferously cheered Gen. Cara MA as
he passed through the main entrance
Of the National Palace.
A few moments after he entered
President Carranza appeared on the
balcony under tho liberty bell and
addressed the crowd promising Il new
era of real constitutional government
Tho troops then passed in review. a
band Of 200 pieces massed in the
square meanwhile playing martial
airs.
The day was a holiday and all
