PACKERS' LlflES
WIDELY- RAMIFY
Cottonseed Oil Plants, Real
Estate and Cattle Trade Pa
pers Are Few of Many.
INQUIRY TO BE RESUMED
Special Counsel Heney Says Subse
quent Hearings Will Deal With
Alleged Control of Grain, Fer
tilizer, Feed-, Hides, IouItry;
WASHINGTON, Dee. 22. Cottonseed
ell plants, Chicago real estate and cat
,, tie trade papers appeared today in the
records of the Federal Trade CoramU-
sion's inquiry Into the packing industry
as side lines Into which the control of
the big packers has extended. When
the Inquiry was adjourned over the
JJ holiday Francis J. Heney, special
.. counsel, announced that subsequent
" hearings in New York or Boston would
', deal with the packers' alleged control
ef grain, fertilizers, dairying, dairy
',; feed, butter substitutes, leather, hides,
. poultry and canned vegetables, none of
Jj which, was touched on. in tha first three
days' testimony.
Having Introduced evidence designed
to establish the control of the Chicago
' Etockyards and terminal railways by
the Chicago Stockyards Company of
Maine, promoted and owned in large
JU"jart by J. Ogden Armour, of Chicago,
k and Frederick P. Prince, of Boston, Mr.
Heney developed from witnesses today
7 that Armour & Co., are interested also
in 11 other stockyards. It had been
testified previously that the Morris
group of packers owned most of the
J Kansas City yards and that Swift was
Interested in the St. Paul yards.
m 1 Mr. Heney Makes Charges.
' ' Mr. Heney charged that by control
m , ling the principal cattle markets of the
! country, the packers are in a position
to manipulate the Nation's meat sup
a. ply. as well as dictate prices to both
t producers and consumers. He said that
,th large profits of the stockyards and
railway companies came chiefly from
2 tne producers, who pay storage, feed
and hauling charges, which constitute
the bulk of the companies' income.
Kecords were introduced today to
chow that other packers besides Ar
C mour are interested in the Chicago
Stockyards. Persons connected with the
Bwift and Morris interests appeared on
the lists of directors of the Chicago
" Junction Railways Company and the
" Chicago Union Stockyards & Transit
Company, operating the terminal rail
ways and the stockyards. These com
panies are owned by the Chicago Junc-
tion Railways and Union Stockyards
Company of New Jersey, which In turn
JJ Is controlled by the Maine Corporation
ct formed by Armour & Prince. Frederick
W. Croll, treasurer of Armour & Co.,
1, said he could not explain why the other
packers should have representation on
7! these concerns.
Large Interests in Soatk. -
Croll admitted that Armour & Co.
T, had large interests in cottonseed oil
j plants In Texas, Arkansas and Tennes-
see and that Armour & Swift were in-
terested In cattle trade papers in Fort
. Worth and Denver.
Millions of dollars of" Chicago real
estate, known as the Central Manu-
facturing District, appeared in a list-of
assets of the Chicago Junction Rail
- ways & Union Stockyards Company.
Mr. Heney called particular attention
to the assets of this company because
of representations made to small stock
2 holders when Armour and Prince
rained control of tha company, that
" the companysproperty was in danger
tT of material depreciation, in order to
get the small investors to surrender
their stock and accept a 9 per cent
guaranteed dividend.
In attempting to market the bonds
t after having gained control of the
-". Junction Railways Company, the Chi-
cago Stockyards Company told invest
or a, according to "records introduced,
- that the assets of the Junction Com
pany amounted to 47,000.000, including
r 00 acres of land in Chicago and 250
miles of belt and terminal railways.
Attention was called to large surplus
.. earnings from 1907 to 1911.
Excessive Profits Concealed.
2 "It appears that one set of represen
... tations was made to get the stock and
another to eell the bonds," commented
Mr. Heney.
Manipulation of share warrants of
the Chicago Stockyards Company, pay
ment of dividends, checks to dummies
and alleged arrangement of earnings
of a subsidiary company to conceal ex
cessive profits also were touched upon
today. Records of the Maine Corpora-
tion showed that" re-distribttlon of
ehare warrants was made the same
day a Federal Trade Commission ln-
vestlgator asked to examine the books,
, Discussion of profits attracted con
siderable interest from the commission
' as to Armour's return on his invest
menL Mr. Heney explained that Armour
put up S194J00.O of the original 11,000,
t 000 -used to promote the Chicago Stock-
yards Company and gain control of the
, Junction Company's 47,000,000 assets,
i A letter from Prince advised Armour
' to take advantage of the reorganiza-
, tion proposition to exchange Junction
Company stocks for bonds at a rate
, of two for one, then sell the bonds,
which would net him a profit of $117,-
, 000. Armour owned 6500 shares of
Junction. Later, It appeared from the
J records, the packer's investment was
cut to 177,000. -
Armour Dividend $77,009 Yearly.
Armour has been getting approxl
- mately $77,000 yearly in dividends and
, besides appears in the records as hav
'. lng borrowed $200,000 of the original
, million from --the Maine Corporation.
The interest charged - was not shown.
' He obtained for his $194,000 a total of
a 16,(20 shares, par value $1,552,000 of
' the corporation, which is capitalized at
; $.ooo.ooo.
Prince appears as the other large
J stockholder In the Chicago Stockyards
Company and the original plan of the
company, as introduced in evidence,
. was to give $4,400,000 in stock "to the
packers" in place of rebates and
a bonuses paid them up to that time.
Efforts to prove that other packers,
particularly Swift and Morris, re
ceived such stock, have not been euc-
J cessful and will be continued when
the commission resumes the hearings.

HIGHWAY BOARD TARGET
DR. MOUflfT MAKES ATTACK AT
CLACKAMAS BUDGET MEETING.
Taxpayers Go on Record as Favtrii
Quarter-Mill Tax for Suspension
B rid so Fund.
OREGON CTTT. Or.. Dec 22. Spe
cial.) Aside from a vitriolic at
tack upon the State Highway Commis
sion and its methods, by Dr. Hugh S.
Mount, the annual budget meeting of
Clackamas County taxpayers, held in
the circuit courtroom today, proved to
be a commonplace gathering of some
zoo or more citizens, which voted fa.
vorably on practically every item in
the 1918 budget.
Dr. Mount exploded a bombshell in
the big gathering this morning and for
an hour scathingly denounced the
members of the State Highway Com
mission for what he considered its
high-handed procedure in laying out
the new Pacific Highway r between
Canemah and New Era.
xne taxpayers went on record as
favoring a one-quarter mill tax to pro
vide a suspension bridge sinking fund.
Bridges and culverts received $14,368,
state co-operative road work, $28,735,
and hard surface paving, $14,368. The
apportioned road fund will total $201,

Judge Anderson presided.
. SPRINGFIELD, Mo.. Dec 22. Claude
G. Piersol, who was recently sentenced
to serve 35 years in tha Missouri Peni
tentiary for the abduction of Baby
Lloyd Keet. and now charged with the
Infant's murder, has made a confession
to Sheriff Ward Mackey, of Webster
County, the Sheriff announced tonight.
The confession Implicated many per
sons now under arrest and others who.
have been mentioned from time to time.
The kidnaped child died of laudanum
poisoning, according to Piersol's al
leged confession, the drug having been
administered by the "mysterious Riley,"
to put the child to sleep and keep It
auiet. Riley is named by Piersol as
the leader of the gang and the man
who plotted the abduction, but he says
the man now under arrest and held for
the Springfield authorities is not the
right Riley. ;
Direct Guilt Denied.
According to the signed confession.
Piersol admits his part In the abduc
tion, but says It was Riley who climbed
into the window of the Keet home and
took the baby. Riley handed the child
to Dick Carter, according to Piersol,
and the latter gave it to a woman, a
member of the band. Piersol took an
active part in the abduction, he admits.
but declares he at no time toucnea
the child. He was stationed at the
Keet home, he says, with Cletus Adams,
Maxie Adams, Dick Carter and others
he names who have not yet peen arrested.
The baby was 'taken to a deserted
house on the Greene and Christian
County line, and there, Piersol says, he
took food for the child and guards
the next'day. He declares he does not
know when the child was removed to
the Crenshaw house, but thinks it was
taken there the night after it was ab
ducted, when a rain and electric storm
occurred. v
Piersol knew nothing of the plot to
kidnap the child until Cletus Adams
'put it up to him, according to the
confession, and ha denies writing the
ransom letters which experts swore he
penciled. The post card mailed to the
father of the kidnaped baby, the last
word he received from the abductors,
was mailed by Taylor Adams, Piersol
says.
Other Abductions Planned.
Piersol denied knowledge of the
death of the child until after his ar
rest. In the confession he says a mem.
ber of the kidnaping band not under
arrest called on him at the County
Jail and told him of the administra
tion of the laudaum and the resultant
death of the baby.
"Riley Is going to throw it in the
well at the Crenshaw place," he says
the visitor- told him.
Maxie Adams, 17 years old, charged
1th the attempt to kidnap C. A.
Clement and recently released from
jail, was the first person to be arrested
as the result of Piersol's confession.
He also expressed a desire to confess,
it is said, but no announcement of a
statement from him has been made.
The confession alleges other abduc
tion plots were contemplated by the
gang. It was planned to kidnap J.
Holland Keet, father of the kidnaped
child at the time he paid the $6000
ransom, Piersol says, and Ed L. San
ford, vice-president of the Holland
Banking Company and chairman of the
State Highways Commission, also was
marked as a victim. Sanford, Piersol
says, was to be held for $100,000
ransom.

DRUG CLERK IS PAROLED
ACTIOS FOLLOWS CONVJCTIOJr OF
1 31 VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER.
Robert
Maaesr Who ' Sold Poison by
Mistake, Found Guilty Under
Law Enacted In 1864.
Robert Manes, a drug clerk, who was
convicted of involuntary manslaughter
In the Circuit Court Friday, was yes
terday sentenced by Judge Tucker to
serve from one to 15 years in the peni
tentiary and Immediately paroled to the
young man's attorney, L. E. Crouch.

containing morphine and delivered the
poison for calomel tablets to a cus
tomer. The tablets were given the
4-year-old daughter of Mrs.. Dora
Wright, and she died as a result.
The conviction of the young man
was obtained under a statute enacted
In this state In 1864 and is believed by
the District Attorney's office to bo the
first conviction in the state on a.
charge of involuntary manslaughter.
The law provides that any person,
who', while engaged in the performance
of a lawful act without exercising due
caution and circumspection shall cause
the death of another, shall be prose
cuted for manslaughter.
"The provisions of this law," said

"are respectfully called to the atten
tion of drivers of auto trucks, express
wagons and elevator operators, who, in,
the absence of the 'due caution and
circumspection' required on their part
by the law, can be prosecuted crim
inally for fatal injuries resulting to
others from their carelessness."
As a penalty tha law provides for
from one to 1 years imprisonment In
the penitentiary and a fine not exceed
ing $5000.
