UNCLE SAM is AFTER THEM
ViOlaters of the Interstate Com
merce Law Called to Account.

Chicago, May 3.-The spring term of the
United States court opens tomorrow, and
1t is expected that United States District
Attorney Black will at once take up the
matter of the violation of the interstate
commerce law by numerous railroad Off
clals and shippers. About three weeks ago
subpenas were issued for between 70 and
80 officials of eastern and western roads,
packers of meat, shippers of dressed beef,
manufacturers and wholesale merchants.
The district attorney and his officials are
inclined to keep their own counsel but 1t
is given out from other sources that a
strong effort will be made by the inter-
state commerce commission to prove the
existence of beef trust, and to indict
railroad officials and shippers for connec-
ton Herewith, and for discrimination in
making and receiving rates. Under The
recent Brown decision of the United
States supreme court, shippers having in
their possession reduced rates of shipmen,
are placed between the devil and the deep
sea. They must either surrender what
ever information they have to the grand
jury or stand committed for contempt, or
perjure themselves and take the chances
of going to Jail. Great interest, not to say
anxiety, in the movements of District At
torney Black, is manifested both in rail-
road and packing circles.

quadrennial conference of the African
