REGARD
COMPROMISE AS
BUSINESS EPOCH
For First Time in History of
y. S. Big Industry Bows
To Public Opinion.

Chicago, Dec. 1s.-Segregation or
disposal of commercial lines not di-
rectly allied with the meat and pro-
vision business of the five great
packing companies, as agreed upon
between them and the United States
attorney general, announced by the
latter today, will involve reorganiza-
ton of huge industry with assets
CT more than $1,000, 100000.
The agreement was regarded by
the packers as marking an epoch in
industry in that for the first time
big business bows to public opinion.
The packers ,said heretofore they
have conducted their business with
regard to economies and legality.
They have been sure of their econo-
mics and equally certain of the legal
ity of their business methods, they
say, and now they have taken ac-
Count of the good will of the public.
New Businesses to Arise.
In divorcing their lines not di-
rectly connected with the meat and
provision business. many organiza-
tions with separate identities, in
volving millions of capital, are ex-
pected to come into being. Some Of
them had already begun the segre-
cation process.
In the reorganization the firm
names of Armour & Co., Swift &
Co.. Morris & Co., Wilson & Co.
and the Cudahy Packing company
are expected to be absent from the
controlling boards of the separate
corporations.
The FIVE big packing companies
will be restricted to meats and pro-
visions. including butter, eggs. poul-
try and cheese. While prohibited un-
der the agreement from owning
stock yards, stock yard terminals
and other interests not directly re-
lated to meats and provisions, they
were not separated from ownership
OF refrigerator car lines, but the use
of such cars was restricted to han
ding their meat business.
To Manufacture By-products.
According to packers representa-
tives, soap, glue, cleaning powder
and fertilizer manufacturing is di-
rectly connected with the meat busi-
ness and will be retained.
Groceries, canned fruits and vege-
tables, cereals and leather were
among the side lines expected to be
dropped by other concerns.
Swift & Co. already has segre-
gated its leather, canned fruit and
vegetable business. Armour & Co.
does not manufacture cereals, which.
it was explained. is the province of
the Armour Grain company, al
though the former, company had dis
tributed the latter's products. Will
son & Co. also has disposed of its
groceries. .-s
All statements from the packers
tonight reaffirmed that they had vio-
lated no laws, that their agreement
with the attorney general implied no
guilt on their part. but that they had
prejudice which they
wished to eradicate.

AUTO GAS CAUSE
OF GIRLS DEATH;
TINSLEY FREED
Examination by Omaha Special
ist Clears Up Columbus
IT,. Mystery.

Columbus, Neb., Dec. 1S.-(Special
Telegram.)-The inquest over the
body of Stella Uryaszk, who was
found dead in the Tinsley automo-
bile December 10, was held in the
county court room Thursday after
noon and at 5 p. m. the jury agreed
upon the following verdict:
THAT Stella Uryaszk came to her
death December 10, 1919, by acci-
dental inhalation of poisonous gas
from the exhaust of the automobile
in which she was found"
Cam Tinsley, who was found in an
unconscious condition in his car with
the girl. testified as follows:
On the night of December 10, 1919,
he met Stella Uryaszk in company
with lady friend at the Swan the
ater and invited them into his sedan
car to take them home. On the way
he stopped to let out Stella's friend
and Immediately proceeded directly
to Stella's home, arrived there about
10 and stopped his car, and after
that he did not remember anything
Of what happened to him.
The doctors analysis, the result of
examination on material from Stella
Uryaszk, sent December II, was as
follows:
All evidence points undoubtedly
in one direction, that death was due
to carbon monoxide poisoning. The
chemical evidence, which is in itself
practically conclusive, is supported
by the gross appearance of the tis-
sues. There was nothing tending to
a contrary opinion in the microscopic
examination of these. The somewhat
peculiar lung findings are presum-
ably to be explained on the basis
of inhalation of impure gas, in ad-
dition to carbon monoxide and other
irritating elements.
AS a result of the verdict Tinsley
is considered free to go, as soon as
h. is able to leave the hospital.

her dead husband had taken him,
promising to leave him 'in Nellie

left her with a burden she often
despaired of bearing, she said. She
thought Nellie Bly," would adopt
him, or find good home for him
where he would have enough to

school and allowed to grow up like
any other. She said she was frantic
when she found her plans had gone
wrong and could no longer repress
her mothers instinct.
