JOHN VI. sHAW-s THEORY.
He Thinks More Meat VIII He Con-
sumed mt Present High Prices

John NJ Shaw. of Kingan & Co. whose
experience in the meat business has been
extensive. thinks people will buy more meat
OF all kinds instead OF buying less. now
that the prices have been sent skyward by
a combination OF dressed-beef men. Mr..
Shaw believes that all the information
printed in the daily papers regarding the
rapacity and hoggIshness Of the alleged
beef trust is the best advertisement the
trust could possibly have. and that. instead
OF hurting it's business. the stories of soar
ing prices and pictures of a gloomy future
will tend 10 better its trade and increase
its profits.
Il am aware that IL is an unusual way
TO look at the matter" said Mr.. Shaw last
night. but my experience has taught me
that people want and nearly always try to
get what is expensive. \ value attaches
10 the costly article that includes more
than it's intrinsic worth These fellows
who are boosting the price OF beef get vaIu-
able advertisement out of the papers,
Mr. Shaw's observations grew out OF a
question put to him with a view to ascer-
tanning whether in any way Kinsan &
Co. are connected with the operations of
the beef combination and questions as TO
what might be expected i'm indianapolis as
regards continuance Of high prices for
meat foods. Mr. Shaw reiterated emphat-
icaily statement made in the Journal
short time ago that Kingan * co. have
absolutely no connection with any beef

price OF meat" said Mr.. Shaw rs due

The Republican state convention came to
a close a few minutes before o'clock yes
terday evening. after nominating a ticket
that the leaders Of the party think vRl
stand every test. The last thing the dele
gates did before adjouraing was 10 adopt
the American eagle as the emblem OF the
party in Indiana.
The platform presented to the convention
yesterday morning was adopted without a
dissenting vote. There was perhaps more
enthusiasm I'm yesterdays convention than
has been shown by any similar political
gathering i'm Indiana for years. From start
to finish the convention was an enthusiastic
body OF men-and women.

Beveridge showed himself 10 be a first
class executive officer, as he handled the
crowd i'm an admirable manner. At one
time during the day the senator turned
the gavel over to Governor Durbin and the
chief executive of the State presided for
a short time. Inere were seNcral Snafp
contests during the day. notably the contest
for the nomination for clerk Of the Supreme
and Appellate courts. The fact that these
contests were unusually brisk was evidence
that there was good material TO select
from. The fight for the nomination for
superintendent Of public instruction was
spirited one IN one way the convention
and the campaign that led up TO it might
be termed a rather spectacular one, but TO
the minds Of the leaders this fact only
tends 10 show the intense interest the Re-
publicans are taking this year. In the con-
vention yesterday the American flag was
a feature. At one time dozens OF small
flags. said TO have been procured In the
interests OF a candidate were waving in
the hall. The delegates began To leave for
their homes Immediately after the conven-
