Penna R. R., Armour
 and Swift Indicted

New York, Aug. 6.---The Pennsyl- vania Railroad company, Armour & Co. and Swift & Co. were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury yesterday on charges of violating the interstate commerce laws, which forbid the giv- ing or accepting of freight rebates.
 The transactions involved, as stated. in two indictments, are decidedly more complicated than the mere giving of cash reductions by a railroad to fa- vored shippers.
 The Pennsylvania railroad is al legged to have turned over the Harsi- musSStock Yards property at the foot of Sixth street, Jersey City, to Ar mour & Go. and Swift & Co. for one fourth it's true rental value. The packers are alleged to have collected i big dividends on the operation of the yards, and in addition to have been l cilities they afforded in a position of advantage over other packers.
 1 In exchange for the possession of I the Harsimus yards on exceedingly favorable terms, the packers are al- legged to have shipped all their live stock sent from Chicago Omaha, East St. Louis and other places to New York over the Pennsylvania lines to the loss of the New York Central and Lehigh Valley railroads, which had previously had this business.
 One of the indictments fixes the saving to the packers through their | possession of the Harsimus yards al
 $300,000 in the three years preceding
 the finding of the indictment. Tn,
 governments figures indicate that tine
 packers have saved $750,0O0 in this
 manner in the six years in which the
 alleged conspiracy has been effective
