Money Given to Chicago Re­ porter Causes Him to Position. MAN RETURNS $1< Amount Alleged tq Have Bee Upon Him is Turned Over to Man- Who Remits Amount to For- Washington dispatch: By authority of President Roosevelt, correspondence was made public at the white house Friday evening exposing the methods alleged to have been employed by at­ torneys for the beef packers, who are under indictment in Chicago, to influ­ ence public opinion in behalf of the packers. The documents consist of a, 66 munlcation made by United States District Attorney Morrison of Chicago to Attorney General Moody; a letter from the attorney general to the pres­ ident transmitting Mn Morrison's re­ port expressing the opinion that no way existed under the law, by which the alleged offense could be punished, and a letter from the president to the attorney general directing the pub­ lication of the correspondence in or­ der that the'public might be informed of one situation, &t least, which the government has to meet in prosecut­ ing the case against the packers. Money Paid to a Reporter. The charges relate to the admitted payment of money to Frank Hassler, reporter for the Chicago Inter* Ocean, by Attorney George W. Brown, Who especially represents Nelson Mor­ ris & Co. in the packers' trial. The further fact is brought out that Lawyer Brown, through the medium of Reporter Hassler, tried to bribe Hector L. Elwell, a reporter for the City Press association, an organiza­ tion which furnishes a report that is distributed to all the Chicago news­ papers and to the Associated Press. One hundred dollars was thrust in Elwell's pocket, against his protest He at once turned it over to the gen­ eral manager of the City Press, who handed it back to Brown. The mat­ ter was brought to the notice of the United States district attorney, and then called to the attention of the authorities in Washington. Attorney Brown formerly was an Illinois Circuit court judge. He lives in Wheaton. m Find Her REPORTER "LOSES PLACE. Chicago dispatcfi: The Inter Ocean Saturday morning prints the follow-' ing: 'Mr. Hassler, the reporter accused in the correspondence, ceased Friday night to have any connection with the Inter Ocean. He undertook to report the trial of the packers under these instructions, and no others: "Tell the truth, and treat the packers, fairly." His reports have been checked up with other reports of the trial, and -have been found accurate. However, reporter who takes money, even though he does so innocently, as M*^ Hassler appears to have done in this case, has lost his usefulness to The Inter Ocean. The insinuation that the general policy of The Inter Ocean, in treating the packers fairly--In re­ fusing to persecute them because they- ar§ being prosecuted--has been in any way fixed by Mr. Hassler, is, of course, ridiculous. The policy of a great newspaper is not affected by a reporter on it Hereafter, as hereto­ fore, the truth regarding the trial of the packers will be told without preju­ dice against either prosecutors or the prosecuted."

Chicago special: The will of Mar­ shall Field was filed in the office of the Probate court of Cook county at 5:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. In bulk it was a counterpart of the size of the estate it bequeathed, being the most extensive document of the sort that has fallen into the hands of the court When tlie specific gifts and bequests In trust and direct, reaching above $25,000,000, are all made, some to re­ vert at the death of beneficiaries, there remains a vast residuary estate, esti­ mated at from $75,000,009 tp $100,000,- 000, which is inherited by the two sons of the late Marshall Field, Jr. These are Marshall Field III. and Henry Field. They receive the property.. In an elaborate trust, in this proportion: Marshall Field, three-fifths; Henry Field, two-fifths. The trustees of this great residuary fund are Chauncey Keep, Arthur B. Jones, and the Mer­ chants' Loan and Trust company. The trust is not in any event to be dis­ solved until the elder of the two boys, now 12 years of age,, is 50 years old. Provides Incomes. Mr. Field, however, provided that the boys shall have gradually growing incomes, and specified, moreover, that when they reach the age of discretion they shall become associated with the trustees and executors, in order that their character may develop through work and responsibility. The wilt says this provision is made with a view to the true happiness of the boys them- sejves. • The residuary estate under the trus­ teeship mentioned will hold in its bulk the entire business of Marshall Field & Co., to be continued uninterrupted and without change in the policy de­ veloped through a generation by Mr. Field. Daughter Gets $6,000,000. 1 Of the family and individual Re­ quests--not considering the two grandsons--the largest is to Mr. Field's only daughter, Ethel Field Beatty, wife of an English captain. She is given In trust three bequests of one, two and three million dollars, making a total of $6,000,000. One of these millions Mrs. Beatty Is privileged to leave to her son by her flrst husband, Arthur Tree of Chi­ cago. The other five millions Bhe also may leave to her present husband or any children she may nave by him.

The little granddaughter, Gwendolyn, herself receives a million dollars in trust and a specific share in $5,000,000 which originally was will­ ed to her father, now dead. It is made clear, relating to Gwen­ dolyn and the residuary estate, that should both of her brothers die with­ out heirs she is not to receive the whole of the enormous fund, but only a quarter of It. The other three- quarters, in that possible event, would go to the heirs of Mr. Field's brothers and sisters. Stanley Field's Share Small. One surprising feature of the will was the unexpectedly small amount-- $100,000--bequeathed to Stanley Field, Mr. Field's nephew, who is One of the managers of his business. fThe gen­ eral understanding among Stanley Field's friends was he would inherit a share amounting to several millions. He is ttw son of Mr. Field's older brother, J. N. Field, of Manchester, England, and was brought here sev­ eral years ago to learn the business. It is understood Mr. Field grew to put much faith in him as a business aid after Marshall Field Jr.'s poor health debarred bim from taking an active nand in the stores. Mrs. Dibblee Receives $750,000. Under the will, however, the larg­ est gift to any of the collateral heirs made to Mrs. Henry Dibblee, a sister of Mr. Field.

Aside from Stanley Field, Joseph Field's younger son, and three daughters, all residents of England, receive $10,000 each. Among other relatives to whom be­ quests are made in the will is Miss Nora Scctt, a sister to Mr. Field's first wife, who is given $200,000 for dis­ tribution among kinsfolk in such sums as Miss Scott's discretion may dictate. Another sister-in-law, Mrs. Sophia Scott Earhart of Denver, receives in trust $25,0G0.

Further, Turrell supplied the dence for which Attorney General tiaa-. < ^ ley worked in vain to extract frow * < Henry H. Rogers and others in Newt -'"" York. Turrell swore that the Re ? Oil company was organized by Standard Oil company; that all stock was owned by the Standard Oil; that the officers and directors were Standard Oil employes; and that they were instructed to pose as officers of an independent company engaged ia fighting Standard Oil. Attorney General Hadley said that Turrell's evidence warrants criminal proceedings under the laws of New York. He continned: Signs Wrong Initials. "Louis H. Turrell, the accountant, of Detroit, and for fourteen years an employe of the Standard Oil company* has given us the best exposure ot Standard Oil methods of anything which we have yet obtained. I shall send a copy of his testimony to Dis­ trict Attorney Jerome of New York, with the request that it be thoroughly examined, and that criminal proceed­ ings be brought against the parties guilty of causing a false signature to be attached to articles of incorpora- "Mr. Turrell has sworn here that he was Induced by Standard Oil offi­ cials to sign the name of F. A. Turrell to the documents, when in reality his name Is Louis H. Turrell. His testi­ mony further shows that his signa­ ture was never sworn to, and the no­ tary who took his affidavit can, under the laws of New York, be prosecuted- for forgery in the first degree. It will be up to Mr. Jerome to-say whether the persons who induced Turrell to sign his name falsely can be included in the prosecution.'" Original lncorporaiii»r. Turrell's evidence came as a sur­ prise to the Standard Oil attorneys. He was discharged from the Standard Oil company's employ two years ago. For more than a year Attorney Gen­ eral Hadley has been searching for him, for Turrell was one of the three original Incorporators of the Republic Oil company. But Mr. Hadley was looking for him under the name of "F. A. Turrell," which appeared in and was signed to the articles of incorpor­ ation of the Republic Oil company. As Mr. Hadley was leaving New York at the conclusion >of his investigation there he received a letter from Mr. Turrell, who offered to reveal all the knowledge and information on the ownership of the Republic Oil com­ pany by the Sstankard that he had. On Attorney General Hadley's solicits tlon Mr. Turrell came to Clevelend, met the Missouri attorney general and told the story of the secret workings of the oil trust as regards the Repub­ lic Oil company. A. T. Dor emus, notary public and statistician in the Standard Oil com­ pany's New York office, is named by Attorney General Hadley as the per- petrator of thfe alleged forgery.
