EVIDENCE AGAINST MEAT MEN 'Affidavits Form the Basis of Allega- , lions Preaented to the United States I | Circuit Court Temporary Writ Is a i I Sweeping One. Chicago , May 21. The temporary Injunction asked for by the govern ment against the members of the so- called packers' combine is now In force. It was Issued last evening by Judge Grosscup after the close of ar guments la the United States circuit iiiu uruur t > ivua luu re lief prayed for In the bill filed by Dis trict Attorney Bethea on May 1. It la BO wide In Us scope that If tt.o pack ers or their agents continuo with their present alleged uniform arrangement they will be taken Into court on con tempt proceedings and the burden of proof will bo on them to show that they have not violated the order in any particular. Little opposition was raised against the government's petition. Attorney John S. Miller , who was the solo rep resentative of the .packers , was pres ent and pointed out some objectiona ble clauses In the draft of an order presented by Mr. Bethea. These con cerned the alleged agreements for credit , blacklisting and cartage. Judge Grosscup thought some of these minor clauses had been made too prominent and he himself drew n form of order that pleased both sides. At the same time the order was en tered , numerous nflldavlts and other exhibits were filed for the govern ment. MHO court room was crowuon as it has seldom been before. General Counsel Miller sat alone to represent the defendants , though there were many office employes of the packers among the spectators. For the gov ernment , District Attorney Bethea was the leader and was aided by So licitor General J. K. Richards and Special Counsel Day of Washington. District Attorney 'Bethea had read part of the bill before Judge Grosscup Interrupted him with the statement that this would be unnecessary , as the court was already advised of the charges made by the government. Mr. Bethea then filed a number of affi davits. Attorney Miller next made n statement on behalf of the packers , and said that while he was not pre pared to oppose the government's pe tition at present , he was authorized to submit to the entry of the order on behalf of his clients. Attorney Rich ards made a brief statement In an swer to some of the objections raised by Attorney Miller. Attorney Day also spoke briefly on behalf of the government. At the conclusion of these remarks the order was taken away by Judge Grosscup for amend ment , and later was filed. Unless the defendants decide to iiiuivc u u ai ui iui i-uny uuiu m uii effort to have the order set aside , they will have until Aug. 4 to make reply to the complaint. Attorney Miller eald that he cannot tell whether a de murrer , a plea or an answer will be filed , though the first named Is the most likely to be the form of the packers' defense. The subpoenaes served recently on the defendants commanded them to file their appear ances separately before July 7. Temporary Restraining Order. The order as amended and entered by Judge Grosscup was as follows : "This cause coming to be heard upon the motion of the complainants for ai temporary Injunction , as prayed In said bill , and the complainants hav ing exhibited their sworn bill to the court and divers affidavits In support thereof , no answer or demurrer hav- jus uceu uicu uiuruiu nui uiiy mil- davits in resistance thereof , and the court having heard the arguments of counsel , and being fully advised In the premises , doth order that the tem porary writ of Injunction Issue re straining , until the final hearing or after the order of this court , the said defendants , their agents and attor neys , and all other persons acting or claiming or assuming to act under their authority , from entering into any contract , combination or conspiracy , the purpose or effect of which will be , ns to trade and commerce In fresh meats , ai restraint of trade or com merce among the several states , either by directing or requiring their re- Bpectlvo agents from refraining to bid against each other In the purchase of live stock or colluslvely and by agree ment refraining from bidding against each other at such sales , or by arbi trarily raising or lowering prices , or fixing uniform prices at which said meats shall bo sold , or by curtailing the quantity of such meats shipped to euch markets , or by Imposing penal- ior deviations irom prices , or es tablishing and maintaining uniform rules for the governing of credit to dealers In mien meats , or hy Imposing uniform charges for cartage or deliv ery o * such meats to dealers and consumers - sumers , or hy any other method or device , the purpose and effect of which Is to restrain trade and commerce , as aforesaid , and also from violating the provisions of the said act of congress - gross by combining or conspiring to y gether to monopolize any part of the trade and commerce In fresh meats ijjT- among tne several states ny receiving from the mllroad companies or other common carriers transporting such fresh meats , either directly or by infwns of rebate , transportation at less than the regular rates which may be established or In force on their several llnoa of transportation under the pro visions in tlmt behalf ol the laws of the United States for the regulation of commcrco.

That bos represented four years' work blunderings and shortcomings in the work , of course ; and there were men of little faith who only saw the shortcomings and the blunders but It represents work triumphantly done. We have the right to feel proud that we have kept every pledge to the letter and established a new national precedent. I do not remember an other such case , and I have looked for one with care a case where , a ? the result of such a war , the victorious nation has contented itself by start Ing a new nation , free , on the difficult path of self government.

Ten days ago an appalling calamity befell another portion of the West Indian islands ; territory belonging to two different nations ; islands not under our flag but their need was great and this people ple saw the need and met it as speed lly as possible.
