Methods Adopted by the Big Dealers to Control Market. tf?peclnl Dispatch to The Timos.? NORFOLK. VA.. May 27.?United States .Attorney Edgar Allan Is assiduously en? raged In gathering evidence against the beef trust, and he hopes very shortly to a the truat magnate? or their represen- ? ve* bere Into court. Tho trust is se presented here by the agents for Swift. Armour. Cudahy and Morris. The Government, it is said, has se? cured witnesses who will testify that at certain intervals these agents receive from their respective headquarters cipher messages, and shortly after the receipt of these messages secret meetings are held luid word goes to the local butchers that beef either advances or comes down in price. There has not been any coming down in the price of late. Asked regard? ing how he would proceed to get copies of these cipher messages, Mr. Allan said the Government would use the subpoena process on the local managers, who would be summoned to court to testify as to the receipt of these messages. General Allan said the Government would try to prove that there is a con? spiracy among the beef trust to defraud the public by raising the prices. There is another phase to be presented in the fight against the trust. The Government has evidence to the effect that this spring several local cattle dealers brought to the local market one thousand head of cattle on the hoof that had been corn-fed and were in prime condition to be sold. It is alleged that the trust got wind of this and at once notified their agents here to lower the price of beef, thus forcing the ship? ment of these thousand cattle to Wash? ington. Richmond and Petersburg. Just as the cattle were shipped away the price of beef here, it is alleged, jumped. The Government contends that while the con? sumer received the benefit of a reduction temporarily, they had to pay dearly when the price was raised. It is thus shown that the trust forces the local cattlemen to ship their beef away from here and crushes competition whore the public could be benefited. The Government ex? pects 10 very shortly begin the prosecu? tion of the cases. General Allan says that a short while ago in Richmond he saw meat that had been killed last October. The meat had been kept in cold storage and did not ap? pear to be tainted. An expert, he said could only tell tainted beef, he thought, by the fiber in the meat. General Allan did not think the cold storage meat was detrimental to the health of the" user The reserving of this meat only showed how the trust could prepare ' for anv emergency that might arise. General Allan came across this meat during his observations on behalf of the Government in the figrht that will be waged against the trust. DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY.
