sentatives of

Representatives Of the Chicago packing
houses, Kingan & Co., the Indianapolis
Abattoir Company and c. j. Gardner and
several retail butchers were summoned to
appear before the federal grand jury yes

questioned in regard to the so-called "beef
trust" and that the investigation was the
result of instructions from Attorney Cen

cause of the high prices of beef have had

visited some of the great copper mines
of Montana and arranged for exhibits
which will not only represent the great
mines themselves but the process of
smelling and refining copper. At Ogden,
Utah, he met some of the leading geo.
logists and mining engineers OF that
state with the result that a magnifi-
cent exhibit of minerals will come from
Utah. In Colorado other mines were
visited, with results equally favorable,
as Colorado has set about her task with
the intention of SURPRISING, if possible,
the other state exhibits at the Worlds
fair.
Reports from the commissioners who
are representing the Worlds fair in
distant countries are favorable. South
American countries will be on hand
with ma agnificent exhibits. The Argen-
tine Republic, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and
other republics are preparing displays
that will far outr:Val any former ef-
forts in this direction. The Central
American republics, to which John Rice
Chandler is the commissioner have sent
official acceptances and the preparation
of exhibits is underway. Mexico, which
has received so much bene6t from the
investment of American capital along
with American management in the de-
velopment of her natural resources, will
have at the Worlds fair the equivalent
of a great Mexican exposition. Her

STANDS BY CROKER.
Chief Wilmarth Says New York
Fire Chief Is All Right.

sChief Croker Of the New York fire
department is a brave, outspoken man,
who knows every detail of fire fighting.
and the charges which have been nled
against him are brought by the poll
ticians who can not pull wires over his
head"
This is the estimate which Fire Mar
shal G. o. Wilmarth, of this city, gives
of the Jsquabble in the New York fire
department Chief Wilmarth retUSle4
Tuesday afternoon from New York,
where he attended the annual conven-
tion of fire chiefs.
To express its diSapproval of this at
tempt to force politics into the admin
iStration of fire departments, the con-
vention proceeded to elect Chief Croker
as president of the national association.
Croker is a Democrat, and is said to be
considerably like his uncle, the ex-
chieftain Of Tammany Hall. However.
Fire Chief Croker has worked his way
up from the bottom in the New York
fidenca of the fire chiefs of the country.
The convention is nonpartisan body,
and does all it can to keep politics out
of fire department service.
Chief Wilmarth is very well pleased
with the condition of Topeka's depart
ment in comparison with the big de-
partments of the east. This depart
ment," said Chief Wilmarth today, "is
| a chip off of those old blocks We dc
not have, nor do we require, the rigid
| discipline of New York, where there are
1900 men in the department, nor do we
have so much equipment, but whatever
we have is up to date and all right"
In telling of the new aerial truck
which is being made for Topeka al
Elmira. N. Y, Chief Wilmarth said
THE truck is all completed except ths
wheels, which are now being made L
will be delivered sometime this month
and we hope to have the horses read,
for It when it comes.
Nowadays the use of gongs on fir
apparatus is dispensed with, and a larg'
bell used instead. 1t has been found
that gorgs sound too much like th'
gongs on street cars. The new trucl
will have bell Of a sharp and pene
trating tone, which will be run not from
the drivers seat, but from one side o
the truck. There is room for but on
man on the drivers seat"

NAVAL OFFICER SUICIDES.
Lieut.. Commander Bronaugh Kills
Himself on Board the Kearsarge.

New York Oct. 1.-Lieutenant Com
mander w. V. Bronaugh, of the United
States navy, has committed suicide on
the battleship Kearsarge at the navy
yard by blowing out his brains with a
revolver. Friends of Commander
Bronaugh believe that he was very
much worried over the manifold duties
of his position as executive officer which
are conceded to be more arduous than
those of any other officer in the navy.
Purcell Harrington, captain of the
Brooklyn navy yard, said:
There is an epidemic of suicide in
the navy as surely as there was an epi-
demic of fever. Such a thing may oc-
cur and can be explained. The man
has probably been thinking of the other
suicides which are very sad affairs,
and then in an unguarded moment the
desire to try it seized him and it was
all over in minute
Commander Bronaugh was born in
Kentucky and entered the academy in
1873.
