Ohleago, Feb. 1. Absolut dilu
tion of th National Packing oompeny,
th cernoratton whoao existence U 4
elsred to make too boot trait possible,
It to bo demanded by the department
ef justice in a ault to bo lastltuted la
tko United Btates eourU In Chicago
' within a tow days. Piano which hare
been asretd upon In secret confer
enoes bold In the offices of District
, Attorney Blmi hare about been com
pleted and, it waa declared the suit
will bo begun Juit ai toon as the pa-
pen can bo prepared. It It the pur
poio of the government to carry on
this dissolution suit while the invetu
gatton of the criminal aid of the trust
still is in progress. While this may
pror more or less embarrassing to
the big corporations under Are It li
not expected to dlicommode tie gov.
eminent, which Is prepared for. the
two legal moves.
Should this civil ault prove succe
ful government officials believe that
Chleago and the country will hav
seen th last of the beef trust. It li
only through such a central organise
tlon, they declare, that a trust could
exist and It is only with the ma
chlnery of the National Packing com
pany that the big packing concerns
could maintain the present high prices
and the seeming price agreements.
In this connection It Is declared that
at least one big packer has conferred
with representatives of the depart
ment of justice and made the flat
proposition that the packers were will
ing to voluntarily dissolve tho corpor
ation If the government would ceass
its Investigation upon wbich It ma;
return indictment! charging violations
of th Sherman anti-trust act
During the day It became known
that Judge George A. Carpenter, who
was sworn In as a Judge of the United
States diatrlct court In the morning
will hear the casea of the Indicted
packers in tho event that Indictments
ar returned by the present Inquisi
torial body. Judge Landls, who caused
the present Investigation, admitted
that this was true.
' Judge Landls has decided that la
view of tho fact that he started th
-Investigation It hardly would bo prop
for him to hear th trials growing
out of th investigation. Practically
aU of th government's witnesses an
declared to have been heard and tka
investigation practically has been oon
eluded,. Whether Indictments will b
returned will be decided within tka
next tew days.
PROTECTING STOCK REMEDIES

Government Control.
Washington, Feb. 8. Mason 9
Pfttara of Kansas City spent th day
at department of agriculture. He li
very hopeful that hit plan for band
ling hog cholera terum will be adopt
ed by th department. Mr. Petera ex
plained to Dr. Melvln of tho bureau
of animal Industry the Importance ol
protecting th farmers who with to
ut the cholera serum.
"The serum," Peters . said, "hat
proved a great success where the true
terum It used. Th great danger now
IS that there will h salea of stuff that
Is not true serum."
Dr. Melvtn said that he Is of the
opinion that the most satisfactory
thing would be to have ai bill passed
giving th department authority ovt
all serums and other stock remedies,
either manufactured here or Imported
from abroad.
