WASHINGTON. July "a
The federal trade commissions
report, charging that the big

ground today the senate bills
now pending to curb them.
These measures are the Kenyon
act. which seeks to put the packers

the Kendrick bill, which is more
II believe il Is only a matter of
time. unless the present tendencies
are stopped, when the big five pack
ers, or. perhaps one or two of them,
will absolutely dictate to the people
of the country what they shall eat
and what they shall pay for it," de
clared Senator Capper. Kansas. after
reading the commissions report.
Capper is "a member of the senate
agriculture committee. which is
handling the packer legislation.
Capper said the big five" did a
business last year twice that of the
United States Steel corporation.
Senator Kenyon. Iowa. said hear

within few weeks. Members of the
agriculture committee appear to be
divided. Capper, in his interview,
warned that packers are preparing
to attack the Kenyon bill. hoping to
defeat 1t by amending it to death"

One was a slight jagged cut. about
three inches long. with small welt
in the center. But the wound that
caused Dowsey's death. says gov
ernment operatives, was a wound in
flicted with blunt instrument in
the hands of a powerful man that
struck him just at the base OF his
hairline. the most vulnerable spot
on the head.
The latter wound was triangular
in shape. and about the size OF a
silver dollar. The skull was not frac-
tured by the blow. but the tissues
beneath the wound were broken.
One thing is certain, declare the
secret service operatives. and that Is
that Dowsey did not die of apopiexy,
as was reported by Coroner c. G..
Tiffin. at the special request OF sc
cret service men in Seattle at that
time, who were of the belief that
Dowsey was murdered. The verdict
OF apoplexy was returned by Cor
oner Tiffin in the interests OF the
case.
Sent in Reports
Altho Dowsey was at the climax OF
his Investigations and about to file
his final report on the day he was
found dead. government agents say
he sent daily reports to headquarters
in Washington, and it is believed
that the government will be able to
proceed with the investigation.
