to have been taken in by the same
game in Los Angeles last winter, while

Potts Loses $1,000.
Mr.. Potts lost his money betting on
horse races He told the police that
he did not know where the races were
being held or the name of the horse
he was betting on, but he had heard
the telegraph sounder click and say
the figures marked up on a black
board, SO bet $1,000 in real money and
lost it, 1t seems that Potts came to
Minneapolis early in June for medical
treatment and was met at the depot
BY a man who claimed to be an old
acquaintance who took him to break
fast, and afterwards to an alleged
Continental Turf Exchange which
had the appearance of a board Of
trade. The friend" informed Potts
that lie had the wires tapped and was
getting secret information which had
cleared him up 500, 900 the week be-
fore. and advised Potts to wager on a
horse race on which they would get
advance information on the tapped
wire. Potts bet his $1,000 and won
$ 5000, which he did not receive. He
was then persuaded to write a check
for $1,000 to show hat his credit was

co. COMPLAINS
OF STATE TAX
to Judge to Keep
Senate Bill Al From Being
Put Into Operation.

Bismarck, N. D., July 11.-Alleg-
ing that the burden of one Of Its
North Dakota consumers has been in
creased from $4,000 to $275,00o per
annum by Senate Bill No. Al passed
by the 18th assembly, the Standard
Oil company of Indiana has applied to
Judge Amidon in United States dis
trict court for a temporary restrain
ing order enjoining state officials from
enforcing this statute.
Senate Bill Al levies a tax of one
fourth to one cen on each gallon of
oil sold in the state. The temporary
injunction is to be directed to Obert
Olson. state treasurer; William Lang
er, attorney general; Carl Kositzky'
state auditor; E. F. Ladd, state oil in
spector and Geo. E. Wallace, state taS
commissioner.
A hearing on the injunction order
will be held as soon as Judge Amidon
can arrange it, said Attorney General
LANCER this morning. MI. LANCER
will represent the state in this !itiga-
ton and he seemed confident today of
victory. Judge Amidon regards the
action Of such vital Importance that
he will not hear it alone, but has an
nounced his intention Of calling in
two judges to assist him.

Chicago. ILL.,. July 11:-Charges
tanned in the report issued by the
federal trade commission today were
denied by Louis F. Swift, president of
Swift e. Co., speaking for all of the
Chicago packers.
"This latest report of the federal
trade commission is merely al attack
upon large and successful business
organization and should be resented
by all Americans who are proud of
said Mr.. Swift. ut contains nothing
new and is an outgrowth of the
former d~iscredited investigation. This
report SO far as I am informed con-
tains absolutely no evidence Of coll
fusion among the five largest packers
and / say for Swift & Co.. as l have
said many times, that we have no
agreement of any kind with any
other packer to affect prices of live
stock or meats.
9TH manner in which the trade
commission juggles figures and resorts
to sensationalism betrays the in
sincerity Of the commission. We are
living up to both the spirit and letter
of the law and want to cooperate
with the government in every helpful
and constructive way but we mas

Public Benefit.
81 say thai the large packers and
their individual businesses are a pub
lie benefit and a decided factor in
keeping down the spread between live
stock and meat prices.
This report is put out now as a
part Of the propaganda in which the
trade commission. with others, is en-
gagged, seeking to subject the packing
industry and other lines of business
to the arbitrary control of subordinate
government officials through a license
| system.
mo one disputes that out of the
total receipts of the packers derived
from the products of animals about
| IS per cent is paid out for live ami
mails themselves. About 10 per cent
is paid out for wages, transportation
| and other such expenses. About 2
per cent of this turnover is earned by
| the packer as net profit. And no one
disputes that this amoun is but a
small fraction of a cent per pound
and that it is so negligible as not in
any event to affect the price which

After reviewing the interest of the
packers in he leather. fertilizer, cot

industries. the report said:
THE a why the packers are
seeking control of the substitutes for
meat-the foods that compete with
meat-are obvious. If the prices of
substitutes for meats are once
brought under packer control, the
consumer will have little to gain in
turning 20 them for relief from ex-

Referring to the packers activities
in South America. the report said
that from establishment of a single
plant in Argentina in 1907 by Swift
and company, the American packers,
Swift, Armour, Morris and Wilson,
have developed by 1917 until for
that year they exported 57.4 per cent
Of all exports of frozen and chilled
beef quarters from Argentina and
Uruguay.
'.It is significant of their power and
the rapidly of their action said the
report. that in 1910, three years after
their entrance into the Argentina
field. they had secured control of over
forty per cent of the trade; that in
1915 they had substantially SIS pc,

control during the eight years from
1910 to 1918 was SIS per cent. In this
period they, exported nearly 20 1000.
