MAY SEND GUILTY
PACKERS TO PRISON
Government's Charges Against Packers
That directors of large packing-houses are also directors of
the National Packing company, the alleged trust company.
That subsequent to directors' meetings of the National, at
which certain action would be taken, exactly the same action, ef
fective on the same date, would be taken by the different con
cerns whose officers attended the National directorate meeting.
That while prices paid for raw meats were not materially
raised, prices to retailers were advanced materially. . ,
Thaf the reports of the packing-houses showed their dividends
and undivided profits to have increased materially and to have a
direct ratio of increase with the increase in the price of meats.
That no change in price or action affecting the market was
taken by any packinghouse whose officers were interested in the
National company Until a directors' meeting of the National was
held.

On Monday the new federal grand

A year ago the government started an
investigation into the supposed acceptance-of
freight rebates by Nelson Mor

a lot of papers In the offices of the
firm. After examining the documents
Mr. Sims retained all that related to I

Williamstown, Mass., Jan. 22. "When
the officer becomes wiser than the law.
the law should remove him for its own
protection." .
This was the declaration made to
night by Secretary of the Interior Bal
llnger, in a speech before the Good Gov
ernment cjub of Williams colleg?, which
was apparently an attack on Gtfford
Pinehot, who was recently removed as
chief forester of the United States.
Although not. mentioning Pinehot by
name, Secretary Ballinger's speech was
full of peppery allusions to the policies
pursued by the former forester, and his
"spirit of the law" doctrine.
This was the secretary's answer' to
the charges against his administration
of the interior department and his con
ceptlon of that branch of the govern
ment service In conserving the naturtil
resources of the country.
"It is elemental under our republican
form, of government," he said, "that
public officers govern only with the
consent of the governed. This consent
is expressed through the constitution
and the laws made in pursuance there
of, and I wish to say that the stability
of our institutions is wholly dependent
upon our firm adherence to this prin
ciple. . , .
"It Is not proper administration which
assumes the power to act simply be
cause mere is no express prohibition
In the law against the performance,
even though that act might appeal to
the executive conscience as a a-ood
thing to be done for the genral wel
fare. Such an exercise of bower is In
arbitrary disregard of affirmative law.
The founders of our government real
ised that men love power; that they
will generally exercise it when thev
can get it and abuse it, under declara
tion of lofty patriotism, to disguse the
assumption.
When this seductive method of ex-.
erclsing power falls Into the hands of
clever politicians, unthinking people
flock to their standards with the 'muck
raker" and 'penny liners' as-their, press
support. .Those who do not become hys
terical over their1 tales "of -dice calamity
and calmly ask for facts, are charged
with being In league .with, or accom
plices of these imaginary : criminal
The most vicious demagogue is he who
sounds a - false alarm which arouse
prejudices that strike ' at' the founda
tlonn of our government, tlut disturb
the public mind as to. ihe necessity for
observance of the laws of the land.
Some publle officials make the mistake
of assuming they have been commanded
by a higher, authority than" the people;
that is, by their own Indispensable qual
ities of fitness to govern. .t
"The public mind very properly . be
comes concerned regarding the preser
vation and 'right use of our natural re
sources. - A-vast amount -of discussion
has been caused bsfRhts, but tlu?re has
appeared little of practical suggestion

ing results.
Row. to Conserve.
"It has been easy to say that the
natural resources In ful supply, for
ests, in water power and other publld
utilities must be saved from waste,
monopoly and other abuses. The prob
lem is, as stated by the president, 'How
to save and how to utilize, how to con
serve and still develop.'
"If congress direct that the rights
of way, mines and lands shall be given
away in limited Quantities and fur
nishes no method whereby they may be
disposed or with restrictions which will
control or supervise their use, congress
alone Is responsible for the waste that
may result. .The executive cannot re
peal a law or annul It;; but must exe
cute it as It stands upon the books.

After one of the most bitterly fought

were killed In the wreck of the Boston-;

Friday.
Survivors of the catastrophe who
have arrived here exDress the belief that1
at least 75 persons lost their lives, Ow

the wreck, It will be several days be
fore the full extent of the disaster will
be known.
Divers descended late thia afternoon
through the crust of Ice on the' Spanish
river into some of the submerged cars.
Hardy submarine workers could remain
In the frigid waters but a few moments.
Their uncovered hands were almost
froxen as they were hauled 'to the sur
face. Working in relays In the glare of
tne bonfires, built at either end of the
bridge, they are chopping their way into
the cars -In an effort to recover the
ghastly freight.
Wrecking crews are making-futile ef
forts to fasten chains about the cars to
hoist them from the bed of the froxen
stream. 80 fearful is the cold, and so
great Is the hardship faced by the work

The cause of the wreck. It is de

running down grade at the rate 'of 60
miles , an hour, approached the steel
bridge over Spanish 1 river just about:
noon. The ; train - consisted:, of an en- j
gine, combination mall and : . baggage

Pullman Passengers Uni art.
The engine, mall and baggage and
express car passed over the bridge In
safety. The second class car struck the
broken rail and was torn loose from I
the express car. Careening aldng the
cross ties, drawing the other cars be-j
hind It, the second class car struck f
stone abutment at the river bank and
telescoped. One-half of tha car re-'
malned on the bridge, while tha other)
half plunged 40 feet through the ice 5
and sank. In the river, pulling with it
the packed colonist car, the first class;
coach and the dining car. The Pullman
car was not thrown Into the river, but
remained at the river's edge, turned on,
Its side. Tha passengers were not hut.
Practically all the passengers in-the "
half of the second class car. in the col

That portion of the second' class ear
which remained on the .bridge caught
fire and was destroyed, killing and

the heroism of the conductor that saved
nearly ail of tha passengers In the din

crash came. Reynolds- called to all the
diners to stand on their seats mo their

the roof of the car. He then dived
out of a broken window Into the' river
and reached an opening In the Ire
through which he crawled to the top
of the dining car.

river and literally tore a hole In the
rbof of the car. through which he
dragged to safety allof the diners ex
