BURNS SLEUTHS IN CITY TO AID
 VICE CLEANUP

of common pleas.
 Mary Smith, who was arrested in an alleged disorderly house on North Washington avenue, was fined $15. The other cases resulting from the "big push" made by the vice crusaders have not come up yet, but it is ex- pected that the Burns men will have some evidence to produce on all of them.
 When the judgment of the court was announced there was intense ex- citement both in the court and in the adjoining corridors. Lawyers rush ed about wildly gesticulating, wit nesses f1dgetted, defendants, their eyes blazing indignation gasped, while the henchmen of many factions com ! prising all colors and characters made their exit on tip toe to meet in ex- cited groups in the halls outside and plan new ways and means for the de- fense or prosecution.
 1 Such was the varied gathering in the railways of the temple of correc- | tion and justice that one would easily | imagine himself in the furry of g race track crowd. Gentlemen, with bejewelled and 1adylike hands, dis played undue nervousness over the comfort of some prisoner who seemed more at ease facing the magistrate than some of the oldest court at taches Detectives prowled about this throng keenly appraising theil moral worth or figuring out where they saw the man before or what hit name was when they last met.

CI.AMLESS CHOWDER IN PROSPECT; BEDS
 ARE FROZEN SOLID

Many people in Bridgeport have wondered why they are unable to ob- tain clans at local markets, and also have been awed by the unusually high price prevailing. W. D. Cook, one of the largest fish dealers in the city, offers the explanation that the unusually cold weather has formed ice all along the shore of Long Is land, where the greater portion of the clans are procured, and clam diggers are unable to get out to the beds
 Cooke said he never knew condi- tons to be so bad in his many years in the business. It is almost i'm possible to get clans from any source, and while he tries to supply his trade, his usual source of supply, Long Is- land, has been almost entirely cut Ice more than two feet thick covers the shores of the Sound on both sides of Long Island. He holds out no prospect for relief until the ice breaks away.

PACKERS TRIED PRESSURE UPON
 THE PRESIDENT

grounds that live stock was selling at very satisfactory prices and any in vestigation would disturb such sat1s- factory conditions.
 ''It is quite important to reach Gard of Hamilton, O., the memorandum of counsel read. Perhaps Proctor of Cincinnati knows him.
 Questioned by Commissioner Mur- dock, MT. Heney said the Proctor re- ferred to was the soap man. MT. Murdock found considerable interest in a sentence of the memorandum which recommended that all the mes sages should be varied. He said It was the psychology of congressman l that when they received large num- 1 Der of telegrams identical in form ! that they suspected somebody was | trying to put something over, which undoubtedly was recognized 1 by the packers also. Indication that the packers had advance information of what was being done in connec- ton with the Borland resolution was contained in a memorandum taken from the files of Wilson & Co.,, but which carried notation showing that it was sent to all of the big five packing companies. The memoran- dunn said:
 "Mr Faulkner (counsel for Ar mourn has received word from Washington that the Borland hear ings have been definitely set for June IS. Don't mention the fact that we have this advance information as the official word probably will be out within day or two. It is not believ- ed that MT. Fisher knows it as yet"
 The MT. Fisher referred to was Walter Fisher, counsel for the live stock men, who were urging the in- vestigation.
 Statements by Francis J. Heney that Armour & Co. had been found to control the street railways of Kansas City were the first indication that the financial ramifications of the packers touched many street railway systems.
 '"The influence of the packers in Kansas City is more widespread than in any other city of the United States except Chicago" MT. Heney said.
 Evidence of the packers influence in the tin industry also has been dis covered MT. Heney told Commis- sioner McChord.
 Control by the packers over fnan- cial institutions has reached such an extent, MT. Heney said, that recently when an independent packer asked for a loan from one of the big New York banks the bank wrote tC Thomas E. Wilson, of Wilson & Co. asking whether the credit should bt extended.
 Details of a visit to Washington during which he consulted numerous . officials were given by Henry Veeder counsel for the packers, in a letter to Louis F. Swift, dated July IT, 1916 He wrote that he had been informed that if the federal trade commission were instructed to make An investi gation it be withQht publicity and un der no conditions public hearings a which attorneys might participate. L. c. Boyle of Kansas City, former attorney general of Kansas, appeared F to have been in constant communica tion with the packers regarding th' , Borland investigation resolution.
