JERSEY REPUBLICANS WANT PAP.

Hudson A-sembiymen Have Ia laundering
for Sheriff Helier's Good Thinga.
Nine of the eleven Republican members OF the
Assembly elected in Hudson county, y. j., held
a conference on Thursday night in the Union
League Club house in Jersey City. The confer
ence was called for the purpose OF discussing
possible Legislation for equal taxation. and other
matters of public interest. but the discussion
was confined principally to the best method of
clipping Sheriff Heller's wings. 1t was finally
decided that bills be introduced providing for
the appointment Of Jury Commission, and to
take away from the Sheriff the selection of
grand and petit juries, and also to deprive him
of the custodianship of the county Jail. All of
the Hudson Assembly, were present
except Urquhart of Jersey City and Demores of
Bayonne.
The custody of the Jail furnishes ono of the
Sherif's chief emoluments. He is paid 70 cents
q day for the keeping Of each prisoner. and as
the Jail is nearly always crowded the profits are
Of the Shcrif's business is estimated at from
ST.. 900 to SIS, 900. The selection of juries the
Republicans desire to take out of the Sheriff's
hands for political reasons. When the confer
ence ended 1t was understood that both meas
ures would be introduced as soon as the l.egis-
lature meets. and would be urged to IA quick
passage.
The conferees are likely to meet a snag. how
ever. Any law passed affecting Hudson county
must also affect Essex county, and as the Sheriff
OF Essex is q Republican he Will probably pro-
test against. having his wings clipped just be-
cause the Hudson statesmen want to clip the
wings Of the Democratic Sheriff of that county.

HUNTING UP A BEEF TRUST
CHfo1G61S Federal GRxE JURY
TIKES INDEPENDENT ACTION.

The Work Inspired By Ono or the Ar.-,bers
and without tho Approval or the Dis
triet Attorney-Foar Packing Companies
Suspected - Their Alleged Methods.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The Federal Grand Jury,
which has been sitting here for several weeks.
is making another attempt to obtain evidence
OF the existence of a beef trust among Armour,
Swift, Morris, and the Hammond Packing Com
pany. The jury has asserted Its ancient prerog-
alive OF conducting an inquiry independent of
the District Attorneys office. The invcstiga-
ton has not the approval of Gen. John G. Black,
tho District Attorney, or of Senator j. II. Shields
OF Dubuque. who was chosen by the Govern
ment to obtain evidence against the alleged
beef trust ut the time Kennesaw lands Of Chi
cago was commissioned to assist the District
Attorney In the prosecution of the case.
These attorneys think that there is not sum-
Client available estimonv upon which to base an
Indictment, but the Grand Jury has been led to
believe from statements made by one OF tho
body, Richard j. Collins, Il wholesale meat
dealer here, that n case can be made out against
the four firms mentioned.
The jury demanded yesterday that certain
witnesses be summoned, and the list lie said to
have been made up partly by Juror Collins and
Guides confidential packing house men, railroad
trafic agents. and local meat dealers who are
said to have been frozen out" by the alleged
trust.
The deputy marshals sent to serve the sub
prnas found the employees OF the packers and
railroacb absent from the city. aid the owners
OF only two meat markets We're found. Senator
Shields arrived here to-day. The jury insisted
upon being, furnished with the testimony taken
before the Lands Commission. and the Senator
agreed to bring it all the testimony to-
morrow. III the jury decides there Is nothing
In 1t on which to make out a case. and cannot
get subpmnasw within reach OF the material wit
nesses, there will be a final adjournment on
Monday.
The jury has been told that tho trust MEM
beers meet once n week and Tx the price OF meat.
After the small dealers have done buying each
trust bu yer calls for live stock OF one class only,
thus destroying, competition. Rebates are said
to be given to tn ose who buy exclusively from
the big packers, and each packer had the same
list. Meat markets spring up alongside those
who. refuse to buy from the trust, according to
Collins's statement. and the outsider Is soon
driven from the business by cut prices. or he is
forced OIL his route II he is a meat jobber.
