Armour Co. Indicted
For Taking $277,OO0
Net Profit ON Lamb
Officials of Firm Named in
Charges for Alleged Price
Fixing on Enormous Ship
ment From New Zealand

Armour G. Co., J. Ogden Armour, its
presidents; F. Edison White, its vice
president, and four other individuals
were indicted in this city yesterday for
alleged proftecring in New Zealand
lamb to the extent of S277,ooo net
profit.
The officials of the company are in
cluded in the Indictment because they
are said to have fixed the selling price
OF the lamb. The other individuals
mentioned are Herbert A. Phillips, man
aged Of the dressed beef department of
Armour & Co. m Chicago Arthur Van
Pelt, district superintendent for New
York City and it's environs. and Charles
A. Meyer and William A. Netsch.
There are 1876 counts in the indct-
ment, all charging alleged unjust rates
IN handling and dealing in New Zea-
land lamb. Each count specifies an al
legged unjust sale in and around New
\ ork. The Indictment was returned to
Judge Julius NJ. Mayer in the United
States District Court.
In the Office of Lester S. Kafer, spc-
clal assistant to the United States At
tCrhcy Oencfal, at Rector Street,
Armin w. Riley, Assistant United
State Attorney General in charge Of
protitccring inquiries, told of the in
vestigation into the Armour transac-
tions.
The figures that he mentioned were
taken from the special report of Homer
+. Harris and Orville D. Harris, expert
accountants of the Department of Jus
tice.
Mr.. Riley said that the Armour com
pany bought 1861 900 pounds of New
Zealand lamb for l1.79 cents a pound in
New Zealand. The consignment was
shipped here in three ships. The en-
tire cost to the company to get the
lamb to the dealer, he said, was 1886
cents pound. That took all expenses
into OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES cost, ship
ping, insurance and overhead charges.
The report of the accountants shows
trat 100000 pounds of this lamb was
sold between May l and June 26 of
this year for from 23 to 35 cents a
pound. The sales in this period are
those included in the indictment.
Lamar Hardy, former Corporation
Counsel and attorney for the Armour
company, Immediately got in touch
with Mr.. kafer and said that the de-
PENDANTS named in the Indictment would
doubtless plead to it the early part of
next week

It's soldiers or employees to run these

its soldiers or employees to run these
stores?
Colonel Horney-No, sir; this was
done by the du Pont Engineering Com
pany in the operation of the plant.
Mr.. Graham-But the government
furnished the supplies?
Colonel Horney-The du Pont com
pany did all the purchasing, of course,
with government money, but the du
Pont company operated the plant as a
whole as contractor
Mr.. Graham They did it on a certain
per cent then, or for certain com
pensation?
Colonel Graham-Yes, my under
standing is that they got no compensa-
ton for the erection of the plant but
81, but were paid profit of 31a cents.
If remember rightly, pound Of pow
der produced, with the condition that
IT they reduced the cost below GER
tain base price, which, as | recollect
was "a cents, they were to get half
of the saving.
Mr.. Graham-But the du Pont en-
ployees that ran these various places
were, suppose, counted in as part of
the cost?
Colonel Horney-Part of the cost

armour Officials Call
Indictment q Bitter .EOke

CHICAGO. Oct. 21.--Declaring that
with our lamb business as a whole
showing loss, it seems rather bitter
joke to indict US for making too much
money officials OF Armour & Co. late
to-day issued statement commenting
on the Federal indictments returned
in New York today, charging protiteer-
ing. The statement follows:
We are at loss to understand these
New York indictments. The reason
ableness Of profits cannot be judged by
consideration of few transactions.
I'VE made some monty through the
sale Of New Zealand lambs, but we did
not make enough on them to offset the
losses we sustained in the sale of do
mestic ambs, and with our amb bust
ness as whole showing loss, it
seems a rather bitter Joke to indict US
for making too much money.
The net result of the New Zealand
lamb business was to give consumers
meat for less money than they would
otherwise have had to pay"

Myers Fights to Get Child
Daughter, Adopted by Aunt.
Heir. to &35O.0OO

David W. Myers, who is trying to
get the custody of his tifteen-year-
daughter, Hazel A. Myers Shepard, who
was adopted by his sister, Mrs. Mary
Shepard Morris, and is now the prin-
cipal legatee of her foster mother,
started another proceeding yesterday
to reestabish the relationship of
father and daughter.
Mr.. Myers filed summons in the
Supreme Court in an action to set
aside the adoption of his daughter by
Mrs. Morris. His complaint has not
yet been filed. Counsel explained that
it will be alleged that Myers was
ignorant of the nature Of his act when
he agreed to the adoption of Hazel by
his sister and understood that his
daughter was to be returned to him
when he should be able to support
her.
Hazel's share of her foster mothers
estate is said to be about $550,00o.
