MYSTERY OF FINANCE SOLVED
Tlienoin.enal Business. of Swift & Co,
Ki-plained by the Backing of Oil
Magnate's Money Itise ol Jj. A.
Carton and Samuel McRoberts.
T Kew York City. -John D. Rocked
feller's millions . dominate the Beef
Trust, and the power of Standard Oil
tontrols both Armous & Co. and Swift
& Co.
For fthe first s time in sevente'en
rears; tha mystery surrounding the
vast financial power that has been
behind L. A. Carton, treasurer of
Swift & Co., is dispelled and the sud
den rise of Samuel McRoberts from
treasurer of Armour & Co. to presi
dent of the National City Bank, which
Is practicallx controlled by the Stand
ard Oil Co., is made plaiD.
The story of how the Standard Oil
entered the Beef Trust dates back to
the panic of 1893. Swift & Co. at
tnat time .was hard up . for money.
Gustavus E. Swift, founder of the
business, which was incorporated in
1SS6 with $300,000, tried to borrow
from Chicago bankers and failed. L.
A. Carton, who was then a private
banker in Chicago,; went to Swift and
said: J 1
.."I can get that money for you from
Ecckefeller. Let 'me try."
Canon succeeded in raising $5,
600,000. The capital of Swift & Co.
v.as increased from $7,500,000 to
SIC, 000, 000. Justvhow much of this
stock was taken up by Rockefeller 'at
that time is not known; but at tho
present time it Is knbwn that ajarge
.portion of the 53,000,000 bonds of
f Swift & Co. are held by Standard Oil
interests. These are First Gold 5s,
dated July 1, 1900, due July 1. 1914;
but subject to call after July, 1910.
Carton became treasurer of Swift
& Co., and ever since Swift & Co.
has expanded faster than any other
packing house in the world. In 1899 J
its capitaT was Increased otHfiW?
vuu: in i'juz to $z,uuu,uuu; in iui
to 5C5,000,000;7ln 1906 to $50,000,
000, and on January 7, 1909, to $C0,
000,00. JSver since 1 898 the stock
has r-aid seven per cent. -
Swift Sz Co. and Armour & Co. to
gether ovrri seventy-seven per cent, of
the stock of the $15,000,000 National
Packing-Company. The latter has.
the Federal AGrand Jury in Chicago
has proved, control of twentyrtwo
packing and provision companies
which operate plants and agencies all
"over the United States, but in Eng
land and South America Morris & Co.
own the remaining twenty-three
per cent, of the National stock. Tho
g-GiShusines3 of the four companies
above flamed amounted last year to
$500.000,000.. 1
iJrRdberts, like Carton, was prac
tlrallr unheard of before ho was
rai?ed to the treasureship of Armour
& Co. lie was born in Malt Eend,
Mo.. December 20.1SC9. He went
ta -Chicago to practice law and later
entered the les;al deoartment of Arm
cur, & Co. lie studied the financial
1 Fido of thp great corporation as well,
r.nd in 1S94 he succeeded P. A. Val
entine as treasurer. Following the
acquisition of the United States
Leather Company from the Rockefel
lers by the Armour interests, P. A.
Valentine became a director of that
company. ! ' . . .
In the directorate of the National
Packing Company Carton has been a
member since incorporation in 1&03,
McRoberts resigned as a director of
the National on becoming vice-president
of the Standard Oil'bank.
FAMILY FEUD LASTS TO GRAVE.
Neither Governor Draper Xor Brothqr
at General Draper's Funeral, s ?
Milford, Mass. Much ' comment
fras made on the fact that' neither
Covernor ! Eben S. Draper nor '; his
brother, George A. Draper, wts per
mitted to attend the funeral of their
.brother; General' William 7. Draper,
held here. '
The feud In the Draper family that
has been carried to the grave of one
o its leading members has started
tongues wagging, and it is said to
have grown out of a quarrel between
Mrs. William -P.' Draper and Mrs.
George A. Draper, who are sisters and
members of the old Preston family of
Lexington, Ky. '
The nature. of the difference- be
tween the two sister3 has been kept
quiet. Business affairs and political
ambitions of the brothers are said to
nave helped widen the breach. "

COLUMBUS,
VERDICT AGAINST HATTERS
D. E. Loeve, Manufacturer, Vins
' Anti-Boycott Case. "
Federal Court Holds Individuals Foi
Damages in Danbury Judge In
structs Jury For Plaintiff.
Hartford, Conn. "A new declara
tion of independence" is what Daniel
Davenport, attorney, of Bridgeport,
calls the verdict of $222,000 rendered
in the United States Court by the Jury
in the suit of D. E. Loewe, of Dan
bury, against Martin Lawler and 239,
hatmakers of this State. After being
out more than two hours the jury or-
Idered actual damages of $74,000 to
tne plaintiff, .but as the suit was
brought under the Sherman Anti
Trust law, triple damages can be re
covered. ,
There was a remarkable scene In
the courtroom when the verdict was
announced. The defendants in at
tendance Vere stunned and groups
dejectedly discussed the significance
of the blow. A conference with the
court followed, at which It was de
cided to give the attorneys for the de
fense a hearing on March 7, when a
motion to set aside the verdict on the
ground of being excessive will be ar
gued. The assessment of cost and the
fees of tho counsel will also be deter
mined. It is estimated that the costs
will amount to at least $10,000, and
these, with the, counsel fees,' may
bring the bill against the United Hat
ters of North America to fully a quar
ter of a million dollars.
Asked regarding the moral signifi
cance of the verdict in the case, which
is the most important of Its kind ever
tried in this country, Davenport, sen
ior counsel for the plaintiff, said:
"First, it means that Individual
members of labor unions are bound
by the actions of their officers, and
they cannot allow them to do as they
please. Secondly, it means that the
Sherman Anti-Trust law protects
manufacturers and merchants from
boycott attacks. In substasce it is a
new declaration of independence."
The plaintiff, D. E. Loewe, was sur
rounded by his friends and congratu
lated upon the outcome of the case.
He said that if he had not won the
Suit ho would have had to go out of,
business..- ,- - , -..... .... -
The Judge in, his chargo practically
instructed the jury to bring in a ver
dict for the plaintiff. He said the
only question for them to decide was
one of damages, and these were to be
based upon tho lorss, sustained by tho
plaintiC between July, 1902. and Sep
tember, 190C, th3 period during,
which the boycott against the Loewe
factory was maintained."
The suit was brought against Mar
tin Lawlor, John Cords and 239 other
hatters, members of Danbury, Bethel
and South Norwalk local unions cf the
United Hatters of North America, who
had ,been employed by the hatting
firm ! and who had declared a strike
and boycott against the firm July 25,
190"
The suit, which was for $240,000
damages, has been on trial for eleveu
weeks. It was InsLituted bly the Antl
Boycott Society through Loewe, but it
is understood the damages awarded
are to go to the Danbury hat makers.
The expense of defending the suil; is
being' met by .the United Hatters ot
Nortii America, who filed a bond to
cove: the amount of the attachment
cf the property of the defendants.

Congress to Begin Investiga
! tion at .Once.
THE WEEK'S PROGRAM OUTLINED
To Complete Postal Savings ' Bank,
. Statehoid andr Other Important
-., -- -
Matters.
Washington, Special. -Whether the
Senate and House will conduct rival
investigations into the causes of the
high cost of the necessaries of life is
a question that : concerns the political,
leaders more deeply than any other
problem now before Congress. If
bpth bodies conduct an examination
they " fear that different conclusions
may bei reached and that such differ
ing reports, on the eve of the Con
gressional elections, j would be likely
to prove embarrassing to the Repub
lican majority. Nevertheless the Re
publicans of the Senate apparently
are determined to order such an in
quiry and conduct it with the ut-
most dispatch regardless of the views
of the House leaders on the subject.
The Lodge resolution, which was
reported from the Senate committee
on finance, has been amended so as
to provide for a committee of seven
Senatirs, and it probably will be
reported from the Senate committee
on tontingent i expenses. The
enlaged' committed will give Sen
ator Elkins opportunity to serve
as one of the investigators, if he
cares to do so, and will unite the
Republicans in favor of the inquiry.
There is a possibility that the in
vestigation proposed by the House
committee on ways and means may
not be ordered, but no decision has
thus far been reached.
It is ! reported that President Taft
desires the effect of the tariff upon
necessaries of life to be determined
by the I inquiry, however, it is con
ducted, and that he will not tolerate
any effort to gloss cvr anxill effects
that '"may ' he disclosed. He Has' not
expressed himself publicly on this
subject; I '
-- Appropriation bills will continue to
occupy the attention of the House
during the week but in the Senate
an effort will be made to complete
the postal savings bank bill in order
to have a vote nit later than Thurs
day or Friday. Of the President's
policies it is likely, that the Slate
hood bill next will be considered by
the Senate. 4-
Practically no interest is being tak
en by either branch of Congress, in
the committee bearings on the ad
ministration bill for the creation of a
court of commerce and amending the
railroad rate laws. Open sessions
have been held but few members of
Congress have taken tho trouble to
investigate the progress, and even the
members of the committee have not
shown the interest usual to such
legislation. There is a disposition to
pass the bill in about the form in
which it was presented by Attorney
General Wickersham. The hearings
are little more than perfunctory.
