Bench warrants were issudd for the twenty-one men named in the indict-/| ment, on request of the district at- torney. The complete list of those indicted is: William Rockefeller, George McCul- loch Miller, Charles F. Brooker, Will- jam Skinner, D. Newton Barney, Rob- ert W. Taft, James S. Elton, James 8.

Billard, George F. Baker, Thomas De Witt Cuyler, Theo- dore N. Vail, Edward Milligan and Francis T. Maxwell. Bail Fixed at $5,000.

McHarg, Edward Milligan, F. F. Brewster and F. P. Maxwell. The indictment enumerates approxi- mately 160 corporations whose busi- ness, it is charged, was to be monopo- lized. The late J. P. Morgan is named in the bill as one of the conspirators. Among the officers and former di- rectors of the New Haven, also men- tioned as conspirators but not in- dicted, were: Edward N. Reed, Charles P. Clark, Chauncey M. De- pew, Lucius Tuttle, Charles S. Mellen, Royal C. Taft, Richard A. McCurdey, H. McK. Twombley, Alexander J. Cas- sett, Timothy E. Byrnes, Edward C.

MAY CONTINUE A r_a‘om Extent of the Blow May Be Roughly Approximated by the Fact That the Business Done at Seuth Chicago Ag- gregates m,uoo,ooo_ Daily. Chicago, Nov. 3—The Union Stock yards, the largest in the werld, and the ‘State-of 1llinois were quarantined against the shipment of cattle, hogs and sheep on orders from Washing- ton, according to a statement-made by Dr. S. E. Bennett, chief of the local branch of the United. States bureau of animal industry. “This means the practical cessation of the méat packing business at the | yards for the time being,” lfllll Mr Bennett. So far as present indications go the big yards at Kansas City, Omaha, South St. Paul, St. Joseph and other places will be able to care for much of the business. 3 It is believed that quarantine will last-at least a month. Lose $35,000,000 Daily. ‘The extent of the blow to the trade may, it is said, be roughly approxi- mated by the fact that the business done at the stock yards is in the neighborhood of $35,000,000 a day. The slaughtering of stock on hand, it was said at the office of Morris & Co., will require only two days. After that it is probable that a large num- ber of men will be laid off. All plants were overwhelmed with European or- ders. The closing of the vards was de- termined upon when it was found that some 'cattle which had been in the local pens and shipped out to be fattened had; developed the.foot and mouth diséase on the farm, RICH COAL LANDS RESTORED Uncle Sam to Get Title' to Colorado Tract.
