Packed Hoocer's Board
VIII E{igh-Pa Paid Hen

WASHINGTON, JAN 15.-Francis J.
Heney, of San Francisco, who was
chief counsel for the Federal Trade
Commission in its investigation of the
meat packing industry told the Senate
Agriculture Committee to-day that
Swift & Co. chad packed" the food
administration with "dollar-a- year
men, who received large salaries from
the company at the time they were
serving the government
Mr.. Heney, who was appearing in
support of the Kenricl bill for govern
ment regulation of the meat industry,
said Food Administrator Hoover sought
to stop him from making public letters
critlclslng retention by the admin
istration Of W. F. Priebe while Mr..
Priebe still was in the employ of Swift
& Co.
Mr.. Hoover, according to the wit
ness, appealed to President Wilson,
saying that publication of the letters
was hindering the food conservation
campaign Mr.. Heney said he was re-
called from Chicago, where he was
working in the commissions investi-
cation of the packers. and found on
his arrival here that the President had
advised the commission that she had
no instructions to offer,' but hoped
that headon collision would be
avoided"
The witness said Mr.. Priebe had
charge of fixing poultry prices for the
Food Administration, and that while so
acting he received a regular salary
from Swift & Co., with a percentage
of the income Of "Priebe & CO." This
company, Mr.. Heney, said, was owned
by Swift & Co.
Many Of the complaints against Mr..
Priebe, the witness declared, charged
that he. through various orders, was
Hency said he told Mr.. Hoover Mr..
Priebe should be removed, but the Food
Administrator declined to take such ac-
ton, whereupon an agreement was
reached that Mr.. Henoy would make
public no moro letters without first ad-
vsing Mr.. Hoover Of their character.
Mr.. Honey told the committee that
other employee of Swift & CO., who
received snlaries from the company
while working with tho Food Admins
tration were E. O. Heyl, who had
charge of fixing prices on canned
goods; II. B. Collins and f. S. Brooks
Mr.. Heyl later resigned under fire, Mr.
lIeney said. Mr.. Collins and Mr. Heyl

from the company.

F. tion's meat dilsion, was man OF "hign
integrity. but wns unfit for the job OF

asserted Mr.. Cotton had admitted to
him that tho profits of the packers in
1877 were "scar dalous"

letters filed in the Chicago office vaults
of Henry Veeder, counsel for Swift &
Co.. was given by Mr.. Heney.
He dwelt at some length upon letters
written by Veeder to Swift, which he
said agents of the commission saw, al
though they did not get possession of
them, telling of sending fancy steaks
and horse to Representative Mann,
of Illinois, Republican leader of the
House.
The witness said Mr. Mann aided the
packers in their fight against the Bor-
land resolution for Congressional in
vestigation.
Rugged Each Other
"Congressmen told me-" he said,
that Representatives Mann and Carlin
hugged each other before the Speakers
seat when it was announced that the
Borland resolution had been defeated" :"
Mr.. Heney declared that the state
ments in the report on the Federal
Trade Commission, submitted to Presi-
dent Wilson b., the Chamber of Com
mcrce OF the United States were with
out foundation and absolutely contrary
to facts.
Questioned by Senator Norris rela-
tive to the packers expenditures for
adVcrtslnS purposes, Mr.. Heney SAID
from the beginning of the Federal
Trade Commissions investigation
Swift e. Co. spent q million month
for that purpose.
THE advertisements" he added,
"were not for the purpose of making
sales, that is very considerable part
of them, put were for the obvious pur-
pose of creating public sentiment"
Letters in the packers files showed,
the witness continued. that their pur-
pose in carrying on their advertising
campaign was for the purpose of in
fluencing the newspapers not to pub
lish certain things, such as the Federal
Trade Commission report, and to infu-
ence editorials.
Mr.. Heney declared danger lay in
close connection between the packing
industry and the financial interests Of
the country. In Chicago. he said
through bank stock owned by affiliated
interests the packers "come pretty
close to dominating the financial situa-
ton" in that city. In order to control
the purchase of supplies, he added, the
packers own stock IN practically every
big new hotel built in the country.

The Wilhelmina is bringing lit sick
and wounded. The only wholly local
organization aboard is Casual Com
pany No. 13, made up of two officers
and ninety-eight men. The Belgic
brings 80 officers and 3.18s men. Among
them are the 49th Infantry, field and
staff medical detachments of the 1st
and I'd battalions. The latter units
were drawn from Camp Merritt, Camp
Dix and Camp upton.
The President Grant probably will
bring the greatest batch of troops
home since the arrival of the Levia-
than. The ship is due to-day, but may
not dock until Friday. There are 231
wounded on board.
The freight transport Sagua reached
port yesterday, but anchored down the

Two Salvation army girls, Captain
Violet and Lieutenant Alice McAllister,
who for months made doughnuts be-
hind the lines in France, met the re-
turning troopers at the army piers.
They passed chocolate to the soldiers
and distributed telegraph blanks for
messages home. The Salvation army
paid the expenses. Postal cards, all
stamped, were given out for longer
messages.
About 5000 men are expected to
reach New York tomorrow on string
of transports that are due. The Belgie
was reported by wireless yesterday
and is expected to dock at the Cunard
line piers at 10 a. m. to-day. Later
in thy day the Wilhelmina is expected
to dock in Hoboken.

Publicity for Liquor Men
J. A. Arnold, publicity agent, of
Fort Worth, Tex, was called in con-
nectson with the investigation of liquor
activities, and told of the publicity he
had sent out for the Texas Business
Mems Association, the international
Farmers Union and the Texas Eco
nomic League. saying that plate matter
had been furnished to some 5000 pa
pers on behalf of these organizations.
His examination had barely started
when the committee received word of
the death ia niece. of Senator Ster-
hing, one of its members, and imme-
diately adjourned to tomorrow, when
Arnold will be on the stand again.
AT the opening Of the session SEN
ator Thomas, of Colorado, made a
statement attacking Austin J. Smith,
who yesterday testified to deal be-
Pueblo Chieftain" and Grand Junction
News"
Squires's testimony about Belgium
and the German outrages brought the
most solemn atmosphere that has yet
been felt in the committee room. Speak
ing after 2 vain protest, hurriedly, and
in low voice, he told of having seen,
himself, while on an errand of mercy,
such things as would have been re-
garded impossible in any civilized
country before Germans did them.
81 entered Belgium over the line
from the Dutch frontier in November,
1914, and helped in the organization
of the relief committees in the cities
of Liege, Chartered, Mems. Louvain
and one or two smaller towns. where
there were then only one or two Amer
leans, of Mr.. Hoover's appointment,
then doing the business of caring for
the incoming cargoes of food"
He then made the summary, already
given. of what he had seen.
did you see whether the German
armies took food that belonged to the
civil population and use it themselves,
thereby depriving the civilians of it 90
asked Senator Wolcott.
81 did not see that" he replied. "I
understand at one stage in the occupa-
ton of the country they were rather
careful to give tickets to those rom
whom they took food, so that within a
few days after those same people could
go to the German commissariat and
get the return equivalent of what had
been taken from them.

ton ever sought to redeem any Ger

way. They were a cowed, terrorized

There were thirteen hundred men

The ship made the trip from France in

Mann, Republican speaker of the
House, his meat free?'
"Wcll, for one, l don't want any
thing Of that sort to happen. | want
man for speaker who has been right
on the war and free from any possi-
bility of such a scurrilous attack"
Fess Appears to Lead
But over on the House side every
conversation between Republicans re
vcaled the impossibiity of any such
embarra ssment being thrust upon the
party MIR. Mann's frank admission
that he had gotten a horse and cut
of beef as presents from tne packers,
and had accepted them just as he
would accept a cigar, provoked sympa-
thetic smiles among his auditors when
he told the story, but there was no
smile in the eyes of his followers as
they turned away to search for the
band wagon of some other candidate
to climb upon.
1t seemed tonight that Ohio would
almost certainly have the Speakership.
The two men most mentioned to-day
were Simeon Fess. chairman of the
Congressional Committee, and Nicholas
Longworth.
Longworth is moro satisfactory to
the National Party leaders, as it is
thought his selection as Speaker would
be generally satisfactory to the coun-
try and would aid in carrying the 1920
election. Fess, however, was being
strongly taken up tonight by some of
the members who were deserting the
Mann following.
Iongworth'S Strength Gains
Half a dozen men from the Middle
West and Northwest have been telling
me for days that there was nothing to
it but Mann. told me tonight they
thought Fess would be Speaker. They
pointed particularly to the kind feel
ings he had created among the newly
elected members of the House Some
of them recalled their first elections
and their friendly regard for the chair
man of the Congressional Committee
who had apportioned them money for
expenses during their first fights to
come to the House.
The Longworth strength is increns-
ing, however, while Gllott's strength
seems to be waning. so that it looks
now Ike battle between the Ohio rep
resentatives.
Mann laughed when his attention
was directed to Hency's statements re-
garding him.
"Sure, | got tho horse" Mann said
"and it want q steak, but nice
