Chicago, Jan. 7.-Prosecutions against
all the big packing house concerns in
the West for violations of the provi-
sion of the Interstate commerce law
against receiving preferential rates are
contemplated by the interstate COM
meree commission. This fact devel-
oped to-day during an investigation be-
gun by the commission into the han
ding of packing house products and
dressed meats. 1t also became appar-
ent that the commission and the rail-
way arrangements of the entire coun-
try practically had entered into an al
lance for the purpose of inducing Con-
gress to pass legislation permitting the
railroads to pool, under certain regu-
lations by the interstate commerce
commission, and that it is believed such
a law can and will be passed. The
third development of the day
was the announcement that
the commission had requested
the attendance here tomorrow

that IL these men failed to respond to
the request harsher measures would be
taken to compel their coming.
Evidences upon which to base prose-
cutions against the packers were OBJ
tanned in abundance. Traffic managers
and vice presidents of roads East and
West threw up their hands and admit
ted freely that there was no pretense
toward maintaining tariff rates on
packing house products and dressed
meats for export or domestic use, ex-
cept for a very short period of time
at the beginning of each year.

Smallpox Quarantine at Char

Marion, Ind, Aug. 6.-Miss Edith
Sweetser, daughter of George Sweet
ser, president of Marion's leading
bank, and one of the wealthiest men
In this city, is seriously i'll with ty-
phoid fever. She has been attended
by DR.. B. c. Dale, a prominent young
physician who was her sweetheart. A
consultation of physicians was held
Monday, when Miss Sweetser realized
she could not recover. After their de-
parture she worried greatly and
seemed to be depressed because she
was to die before being the wife Of
the man she loved.
First Attempt Is a Failure.
Dr. Dale procured a marriage Ii
cense, the girl friends of Miss Sweet
ser, members of the family and a min
lister were notified, they gathered
around her death bed and the marriage
was to take place to make her last
moments happy, but she was attacked
with Il hemorrhage from which she
has not recovered, and was unable TO
take part in the ceremony. 1t was de-
cided that if Miss Sweetser rallied the
marriage should take place, but at
that time the doctors had no hope.
Wedding Ceremony Takes Place.
She showed some improvement YES
terday, however, and again.an attempt
was made to perform the ceremony.
This time Miss Sweetser was able TO
respond. DR.. Dale is from Indianapo-
lis, where he was graduated from the
Shortridge high school and Butler col
lege. For time he was a member
of the city dispensary staff at Indian
apolis, and for two years was an in
terne at the National Military Home
in this cit. Then he began the prac-
tice of medicine He is now city
health officer of Marion.
Recovery a Matter of Doubt.
Rev. Freely Rohrer conducted the
ceremony. AT o'clock the condition
of Mrs. Dale was very low. and the
attending physician said that it was
doubtful whether she would recover.
Only members of the families inter-
eSted witnessed the marriage. which
was sad affair, the patient scarcely
being able to make the necessary an
swers. DR.. Dale is almost heart-brok-
en- over his wife's condition.
