CHICAGO, Jan. lT-Further details of
the bookkeeping methods employed In
the freak meat business were given todsy
la the trial at the Chicago packeri
charged with maintaining a combination
la restraint of trade.
The general ledgers of Harris A Co.
from last to were takes before I'nlted
Stales District Judge Carpenter, and
items showing the allowances credited
for byproducts were read to the Jury by
I the district attorney In an effort to prove
the government's contention that these
allowances sre inadequate.
The government's attempt to. show by
the intricate method of accounting em.
ployed that the systems of the different
packers were practically uniform.
eevsrai witnesses who have been ax-
I emitted stated they were unable to rec
ollect the details of the allowances for
byproducts to which they had previously
testified by a federal grand Jury.
They declared that many of the books
and records which the government de
sires to use In the present case and which
were produced before the federal grand
Jury In a rebating Investigation a sal est
the packers la lit bad disappeared.
When Harry A. Timmlaa, chief account
ant for Morris A Co., resumed the wit
ness stand he brought with him the cor
poration's general ledgers for 1M7 to Bis,
Inclusive, for which ths government had
eased.
District Attorney Wllkerson Inspected
the books before continuing ths direct
examination of the witness. The witness
declared that the cost of killing cattle
wss higher than ths charge of tt1 a
head skowa by the books, but that this
was adjusted later when ths actual Items
of expanse were available
Casts Beaks Taken I " Vaalts. '
Kmll W. Schmula, sa oocountent la
charge of figuring the beef coat for Mor
ris Co., was the neat witness.
It developed that Morris ft Co. need t
"dressed cost" In determining the selling
price of fresh meat, while Armour A Co.
use a "teat" system.
"When did yon last see the eoet books
for IMS. UN, 1M and lmr
1 do not remember," replied Schmula,
Did yon ever sea them after they were
takea from the federal building In Wr
"Tea; I saw thsra once In the office
vaults."
"Did you do anything with them!"
"I cut out some blank pages."
Asked what was dons wtlh them after
that, ths witness said Dick Ellis, "a
handy man around the office, took them
a a ay and hs never saw them afterward."
"Where la Ellis nowT"
"lis is dead."
Schmula said the bound sheets used In
figuring the dressed cost of beef In Mor
ris A Coe offices were alwaya destroyed
a few weeks alter they were compiled.
as there waa no further use for them.

"It Is significant that ths gherraaa anti
trust Isw aaa the McKlnler tariff law
were under consideration at ths ssme time
and passed at the same session," he said.
'That tariff law went far beyond earlier
laws In ths bestowal of special favors.
There was plain warning of its evil ef
fect, and ths leaders did not dare face
the country on It without a law to pre
vent stifling ths competition from ablch
grest benefits were promised to ths peo
ple.
"It Is said that an ounce of prevention
Is worth a pound of cure. la this Instance
It would have been worth a ton, for the
Sherman law was olstlnctly a preventive
measure.
Ths first step surely must be to re
deem the tariff from Its perverted use
and restore It to Its proper place as a
revenue measure by gradual reductions
so that all concerned may have time to
prepare for the change. With the chief
csuss of ths troubls thus removed I be
lleve ws shall make our way aafiy back I
