WASHINGTON, d. c., Ang. T.
The governments case against the
five big packing concerns will be
placed before the federal grand Jury
at Chicago in three weeks, according
to information made public today.
This means that criminal prosecutions
will be instituted, Charles Clyne, fed
eral district attorney for Chicago,
said. Besides making indictments un-
der the criminal section of the Sher-
man antitrust law, civil suits are TO
be brought against the packers and
they will also be prosecuted under
the food control act for boarding.
The governments new antitrust
suits against the five great packing
concerns are being brought at the
direction of President Wilson as a re-
suit of his first study of the high cost
of living problem. Ii became known
today that the president had reached
this decision after a close study OF
the federal trade commissions investi-
CATION and the hearings before the
congressional committees considering
bills for the control of the industry
Charles Clyne, the Chicago federal
attorney, has been in Washington
several days comforting with the at
torney general and the officials who
prosecuted the oil trust cases. He has
been sitting the evidence presented
to the congressional committees and
the federal trade commission, and is
prepared to begin the prosecution inn
mediately.
Armour, Swift, Morris, Wilson and
Cudahy, who have been pictured in
the Investigations of the federal
trade commission and before con
gressional COMMITTEES as a great COM
bination in control of food products,
are to be hailed again before the fed
eral courts by special prosecutors.
The evidence in hand, Attorney
General Palmer declared, indicated
"a clear violation of the antitrust
laws"
Whether the prosecution would be
civil or criminal. the attorney general
declined to state, merely recalling
that the law provides for both.

coined" suits under the Shmrean init
trust act which Attorney General Pal
mer announced in Washington today
would be started today against the
great meat packing firms. }. Ogdon
Armour and Louis r. Swift, heads Of
the two larger concerns, said the suits
would afford the opportunity to go be
fore an impartial body Of men and
show that the packers do not control
prices and are not responsible for the
high prices of meats.

explorer for the American Archae-
illogical society, announced today that
he and his party have discovered I'M
der the altar of the old church at

the state, near the Mckinley county oil
fields, the remains of the martyred
Franciscan priest, Francisco De
Letrato, who was killed by the In

led beneath the church, showing that
Indian lite had preceded the erection
Of the building by many centuries.
