The rejection by the Department

able the whole question will event.
ually be handed over to the next
administration.
The chief objection to the packers
plan, filed in the District Supreme
Court, was that it would be in yio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
L. 5. Calls IL MoaspoIy.
The brief fled stated: "A pro-
posed holding company to take over
controlling interests in substantially
all of the stockyards in the United
States, together with the terminal
railways which are in turn owned
or controlled by the said stock
yards, would constitute in itself a
combination in violation of the
Sherman law and other antitrust
laws amendatory thereof or sup
Elemental or additional thereto. II
this court should sanction the for
| nation of such a company with the
purposes and organized in the fash
ion outlined in the so-called plan
it would in effect be sanctioning a
violation OF the antitrust laws

company by which it could control

out that this company now owns or

THE so-callcd plan is not in such
form as TO insure to the court or
the petitioner herein that IL ap-
proved it would be carried into ef-
feet" the governments objection
read. Tho so-called plan, in sub
stance, consists of a request by +.
II. Prince and Company for an op-
tion on certain terms and condi-
uons of the stockyard interests and
of offers by the defendants to sell
their interests to the F. II. Prince
and Company. upon terms and con-
ditions outlined in such offer No
acceptance of these offers are on
, file and 1t may we'll be that after
the court shall have approved of
the so-called plan, said F. II. Prince
and Company may never avail
themselves of the offers as ap-
proved. Furthermore. the options
provide that the defendants them
selves may withdraw the. same at
any time and this even after the
court shall have approved the

From Superiors.
ANSWERS J.W.M'CARTER
CPublic Ledger Serviee.)

David +. Houston, Secretary of
the Treasury, made public yester-
day letter to James w. McCarter,
of Ipswich. S. D., vigorously deny
ing the latter's allegation that
billions of dollars worth of certif-
icates of Indebtedness, bonds and
coupons, uncancelled and with no
mark of paid or surrendered Or
same but in the original state of
issue ready for circulation, have
passed through the hands of nu-
merous unbonded officials and
clerks" to final file.
Denies Bonds Duplicated.
There is no evidence that mil
lions of dollars worth of duplicate
numbered Liberty bonds and cou-
pons were issued and put in Circu-
lation' as alleged by you," Houston
Wrote, nor is there any basis what
ever for the statement that the
government lost the face value OF
each of the duplicate numbered
bonds and coupons.
In his letter, the Secretary of the
Treasury reminded McCarter that
serious charges were brought
against you in 1919 and your removal
approved by the President, and that
you were retained in office only by
the special action of Secretary
Glass, out of consideration for your
family and after you had given
promises of good behavior for the
future"
Declares Papers Cancelled.
The Secretary's letter was eight
pages in length. Houston said the
certificates of indebtedness, num-
bering 474 pieces and aEGregatinG
sl,37S,O0O. cited by McCarter as
being uncancelIed and filed, were
cancelled in the Registrars office
before filing.
Houston pointed out that occa-
SiOnally unCancclled coupons had
been found when examined by the
Coupon Audit Section and that tha,
section was designated, among
other things, to find such coupons.
Regarding the stgtcmeG: rs to the
recovery of $4,000 Of bonds stolen
from the department in October.
1919. Houston told McCartcr that
his letter means simply that he
withheld from the department ma
terisl facts" during his term Of
Office.
