Final Hearings
Against Packing
Combine Held
Merger of Armour aud Nor.
ris Would Be Followed by
Control of Wilson by
Swift, Counsel Argues.

Washington, April 6.-The merger
Of the Armour and Morris interests
will result In the packing industry be-
ing entirely controlled by two giant
trusts, Walter J.. Fisher, former sec
retary of the interior and associate
government counsel, said today at the
final hearings before Secretary of Ag-
ricuiture Jardine on the federal suit
to force a dissolution OF the combine.
Fisher said that II Armour is not
forced to give up the control OF Nor.
ris. Swift & Co. the largest of the
packing orga nizations. would probably
take over the Wilson corporation.
Swift already partially controls this
company through stock ownership, he
said.
He charged that Armour did not
need the facilities Of the Morris com.
pany and bought them only to elirli-
nate aggressive competition. This Is
a violation of the law, he pointed out.
Judge b. s. Halnier, special govern
ment counsel, argued that the merger
Of the two companies was In re-
straint OF trade and should be dis
solved. He said that the combination
of two competitors, each among the
largest In an industry, violates the
law
1t was further argued that the gov
ernnent would not have to prove
monopoly In order TO win the suit, as
proof of elimination OF active compe-
tition would be SUFFICIENT. Conclusion
of the case will Re reached by Thurs.

Internal Revenue
Bureau WillOpen
Tax Record Again
Income Returns Will Be Made
Public After July /. De-
spite Protests and Pend
ing Suits.

Washington, April 6.-Preprations
are now being made to carry out the
provisions of the 1924 revenue act.
directing that the amounts OF indi.
viduals income tax payments be
made public, officials of the internal
revenue bureau announced today.
The returns will not be thrown
open to the public before July /, at
the earliest. II was said. as 1t will
not be possible to get the records in
shape before that time
The publicity provision, which was
put into effect for the first time last
fall, when lists of taxpayers and the
amount of taxes paid were published
by newspapers all over the country,
resulted in strong indignation on the
part Of some of the heavy taxpayers.
1t was believed for some time that
efforts would Be made to have the
statute repealed during the last ses-
sion of congress, but as tax legisla-
ton was not taken up, the publicity
provision still remains part of the
law, and revenue officials here have
all intentions of carrying il out.
1t was said that the fact that there
are number of cases testing the
legality OF the statute now before
the supreme court would in no way
influence the attitude of the ipteinal
revenue bureau In carrying out the
provisions of the law.
The cassa- now pending are all suits
instituted by the Department. of JUS
tice against newspa pers who publish
ed the amounts OF individual taxes. in
order to test whether the publicity
provision makes publication of the
returns legal. IT Is thought also that
the courts decision also will throw
light on the question Of whether the
statute Is constitutional.
One OF the chief ills charged
against the publicity Is that it ma
terially helped stock swindiers. COM

fidenca workers.

10y !. Coolidge
A ssurance Of Increase in Busi.
ness Voiced by President
in Talk to National Cot
ton Manufacturers.s
Pledges Government Aid

Washington, April 6.-An assurance
OF increased business prosperity was
voiced by President Coolidge in an ad-
dress here tonight to the National
Cotton Manufacturers association.
In the present and prospective in
dustrlal situation, Mr.. Coolidge saw
justification of the tariff, and he again
pledged an administration of justice
by the government in its relations with
business The policy of conserving
10 the American producer "the right
of first opportunity in the home mar
lSet," he said. has resulted in very
l'air approximation of democracy in in
dustry."
He also promised full assistance by
the national government in fighting
he boil weevil and endorsed the sug-
sestion for treaty OF cooperation
among the cotton producing states.
Reviews Problems.
The president reviewed at length
the problems of the cotton manufac-
turing industry, noting even the re-
turn of short skirts and the conse-
ouent reduction in consumption of
cloth. He added that he saw little
prospect of stabilizing womens styles,
and remarked that their constant
changing might make 1t difficult for
manufacturers. but mo doubt relieves
inonotony and adds to the spice Of
iife.''
In discussing the governments re-
lations with business, the president
declared enforcement of the law was
essential, but that II was necessary
also for industry to exercise the same
vigilance. lie lauded industry for its
recognition of its responsibility to-
wards it's employees.
The agencies of the government
we're placed at the disposal of indus
try by Mr.. Coolidge. who mentioned
specifically that the federal trade
board "has been devised for the pur-
pose of safeguarding your rights, pro
.recting you from unfair trade prac-
tices. and admonishing and correcting
YOU il you are wrong.
Justifies Tariff.
Justifying the tariff, the president
declared the towering stature or our
industrial structure as we sec ~ "
day is the best. is indeed the com
pIete vindication OF this policy.
. There has been at some times and
in some quarters disposition to
criticize the American policy OF con-
serving first opportunity in our home
market for our own producers, ne
said. I'VE can hardly expect that such
a program would be popular with
those who find themselves placed at
disadvantage in the greatest market
of the world, which is the American
market. But those who would charge
us with selfishness in thus giving
first thought TO home interest would
do we'll to consider whether their own
policies in tht; regard are more hb-
eral than ours.

tice of absolute free trade throughout
a great continental area of AZ states
besides other possessions. 1t Is the

Trial Is.
Sought Now.
by Stilln1an
Counsel Declares Evidence of
Baby Guy Was Excluded
From Celebrated
Case.
Indian Guide Is Blamed

Albany, April 6.-Another move b.
James A. Stillman, former head of
the National City bank of New York
TO prove that Fred Beauvais, an In
dian guide, Is the father of Baby Guy
Stillman, was made today before the
court of appeals.
Former Governor Nathan L. Miller,
appearing for Stillman, asked the
court to grant a new trial on the
ground that important evidence had
been excluded in the lower courts.
Miller said:
The evidence which was excluded
proved conclusively that this half
breed Indian, Beauvais, was the faith
er of the child whose paternity is the
question"
John E. Mack, counsel for Guy. and
former Supreme Court Justice Isaac
Y. Mills, as counsel for Mrs. Stillman,
opposed the application for a new
trial.
FLANNEL to Marry.
Governor Miller, In his argu.
ment, charged that when Mrs. Still.
man started the divorce action against
her husband she was planning 10
marry Beauvais. Miller told the court:
AT the very time when Mrs. Still.
man consulted counsel In an effort
TO procure divorce from her hus-
band she contemplated marriage with
this halfbreed Indian"
Miller pointed out 70 the court
that the appellate division struck out
the finding Of the referee in which he
acquitted Mrs. Stillman of the charge
of infidelity.
"The reason that the appellate diyi-
sion struck that out was because II
couldn't stomach such an adjudi-
cation" Miller said.
Borrowed $500.
Miller recited TO the court how
Mrs. Stillman prior to the birth Of
Guy, went to Buffalo 20 see DR.. Rus
sell: that she borrowed $500 from the
doctor and told him she was going
to Boston TO consult another Dr..
Miller, and he added:
ITO my mind evidence IN this case
is plain that Mrs. Stinman Went 10
Boston for the purpose Of having an
Illegal operation performed but that
after reaching Bostor she changed
her mind and returned 10 Buffalo.
1T was then that DIR. Russell told
her that her husband was her best
friend and that she had better go
home. A few days later she said 10
DIR. Russell. I have told Jimmie,
meaning she had told her husband Of
her condition.
"The letter which she wrote 70 her
husband Mt that time was excluded,
Il proved beyond doubt who was the
father OF her child"
