came known today.

would be about as effective as the
bite of a mosquito on the hide Of 2
rhinoceros."
The new measure would place the
packers under rigid licensing sys-
TEN supervised by the department OF
agriculture. Amendments have been
added to the bill to break up the pack
ers' control Of the stockyards and to
neutralize their alleged advantages
over independent competitors by ref-
son Of their ownership OF rolling stock.
Members OF the committee frankl,
admitted the virtual impossibility Of
action on the legislation at the present
session Of congress. 1t was their aim
to have'the hearings completed and the
legislation in such shape that bott
houses Of congress could begin con.
sideration Of the proposed measure al
the opening os the new session.

mony yesterday after three days OF
cross examination by Francis }. Heney
and members Of the Investigating com.
mittee. He was to be followed on
the stand today by Louis r. Swift. who
IL is expected, will be subjected to az
close questioning as was Mr. Armour
Mr.. Armour was asked many ques-
tions about his interest in the Chicago
stock yards. He insisted he did MOI
control them.
He spoke vigorously against the pro-
posed government ownership OF thu
stockyards, maintaining that they car
be run far more efficiently under pri

Death stalked the streets of Perm un-
til the city was captured by General
Gaida. according to the official report
of an investigator who has just re-

I So terrible were conditions under
the bolshevist regime that the fright
ened people of Perm have not yet re-
covered 1t is said that the few pedes
trians encountered were emaciated
with livid lips and a constant tremb-
ling Of the head and hands. There are
no children less than a year old in
Perm, all having died. says the report,
which adds that in three months the
whole population probably would have
perished.
The report states that the bolshev-
lists regarded all bourgeoise OF the city,
even the wounded and dying, outside
the law. When the Jail was overf1oodeo
the inmates who had been imprisoned
longest were shot to make room fot
the newcomers. it is declared.
There were well authenticated cases
of torture, according to the report
which saws some Of the condemned
were compelled to dig their own
graves and rehearsals OF executions
were staged during the hours the
doomed people were put to death.
Men were plunged into water unti
nearly drowned and were tnef
revived so that their torture coult
continue. while some prisoners were
buried alive and others were mutiiated
Women were forced to dig trenche!
and were often fogged and sometime
even killed. It IS said. q
Peasants were forbidden last Jnn'
! to take provisions into the city. SOM
people hid supplies but they were
found and seized by the bolshefik
who spread terror through the whole
region near Perm.
