GOVERNMENT WILL RESIST All to Be Tried Together Tor Con spiracy Twenty-One Accused Men Obtain Continuance for Two Weeks. CHICAGO, Sept. 5. Twenty-one sepa rate trials may be demanded before Fed eral Judges by the Chicago packers In dicted on charges of conspiracy In re straint of trade within the next two weeks. After the matter of pleading had been continued until September 18 by Judge Otis Humphrey today, many of the attorneys interested in the case held a consultation, and at least one agreement was reached whereby a -separate trial will be demanded of the Government. This movement was anticipated by the Govern ment, and every effort will be made by the Federal attorneys to offset the re quests of the defendants. Assistant Attorney-General Oliver Pa gin, in speaking of the contemplated de mands for separate trials, declared tonight that It is not probable that separate hear ings will be granted by the Federal courts under the one indictment charging con spiracy. "All these defendants are included in the one indictment charging conspiracy in restraint of trade," said Mr. Pagln. "Con spiracy, of course, will be the essence of the case, and Inasmuch as It takes all of these defendants together to form the al leged conspiracy, there is no reason why they should not be tried together." PACKERS ARE GRANTED DELAY Government Agrees to Continue the Cases for Two Weeks. CHICAGO. Sept. S. Government prose cution of Chicago packerVfor alleged vio lation of the Anti-Trust laws was sched uled to begin today, but instead there was delay. On -motion of Attorney S. J. Miller, representing the packers, tbehear ing of the cases was postponed until Sep tember IS. The court room of the new Federal building was filled with lawyers and spec tators. United States District Judge J. Otis Humphrey presided. Attorney-Gen-eral Moody, with District Attorney Mor rison Assistant Attorney-General Pagln and Assistant District Attorney Eiwood Goodman, aocupied one table, while Mr. Mlljer and his associate counsel seated themselves-at another. Mr. Morrison an nounced to the court that the packers had been notified to plead nd that their coun sel was present for that purpose. Mr. Miller then arose and said: "The district attorney has given me no tice, as well as the defendants, to plead here today. The notice came on Friday. Saturday was practically a holiday and Monday being Labor day. we could do nothing. It is still vacation season and many of the defendants arJaway as well as some of the attorneys, and we now ask that the Government do not press the matter of the motion to plead until Mon day September IS. At that time everyone will have returned and the courts will be open. I hope that counsel will agree to the postponement and we will ask nothing further. " "I presume the defendants will take some action which will precede the matter of pleading. "They might move to quash the indict ments, enter a plea In abatement or pro ceed by demurrer to the indictments. We have not yet definitely settled what ac tion to take, and in view of this unsettled condition, we ask that the matter be con tlnuod until the 18th." "The request of counsel Is not.unsatls factory or unreasonable." said District Attorney Morrison, "and the Government is satisfied." "Let it be so ordered." roplied Judge Humphrey. "The matter of pleading Is continued until September 18." The Attorney-General was reticent In speaking of the mattor, but declared that he is not desirous of putting the packors to jfny inconvenlonce. "r do not know of course what the packers Intend to do between now and Sfiiember 18," said he, "but the Govern ment will pu6h the cases as rapidly as possible, and still consistently and with out prejudice" The Attorney-General may send other ash)tants to the District Attorney when the case comes to trial. Each of the 21 packers and probably the five corpora tions who were Indicted will be represent ed by Individual counsel, and because of 9 FOURTH AND MORRISON 75c, $1.00 Belts 33c We offer you your choice of a splendid line of Silk and Leather Belts in desirable colorings, a fine as sortment of buckles; regular 75c and ?1.00 Belts on sale, at 33 1 AWARDED Grand Prize Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis.

Piatt may talk about an Investigation in September, but It Is dollars to dough nuts he will find some further excuse for postponement when September comes. 3IASTER OF HIGH FINANCE Robert Bacon Has Been Morgan's Most Valuable Partner.
