vestigations, to See Whether There
Are Grounds For Taking Action.

Chicago, April 15.-United States
Attorney s. H. Bethea, following in
structions given by President Roose-
welt and Attorney General Knox, will
make a searching inquiry into the
workings of the so-called beef trust
in Chicago, in relation to the Shec.
man antitrust law.
The Investigation will be secret.
and when finished a full report will
be furnished to Washington for the
use of the attorney general In deeid-
ing what course his department viii
take against the packers charged
with being in the combination.
Instructed to Begin Inquiry.
District Attorney Bethea refused
yesterday to discuss his plans or to
reveal the nature of his instructions,
but it was learned he not only has
received written instructions by mail,
but while in Washington last week
was advised personally to begin the
inquiry.
Particular attention will be paid to
the charge that the territory in the
various states has been parceled out
among the members Of the so-caIled
trust, with the result of sharp adj
vance in all prices to the retailer
An effort will be made to secure
proof of the existence of an agree
ment between the local packers 70
maintain a schedule of prices.
Representative Ray, of New York,
chairman of the house committee on
judiciary, to whom was referred the
Thayer resolution calling upon the
attorney general for information rela
tive to the prosecution of the alleged
beef trust, has written a letter to At
torney General Knox concerning the
matter and has received reply
which he will lay before the judiciary
committee at its meeting today. The
attorney generals letter will not be
made public until it is presented to
the committee.
Mr.. Ray said yesterday:
Il have no doubt that the attorney
general of the United States will i'm
mediately probe the matter of the al
legged beef trust to the bottom and
prosecute all offenders promptly and
vigorously if there Is substantial evil
dence that the law has been or is
being violated"
Attitude as to Beef Trust.
Washington, April 15.-Reliable in.
formation yesterday was to the effect
that the department of justice. in the
alleged beef trust matter, had not
gone beyond the point of an investiga-
ton into the question of whether or
not the trust has violated the federal
law. No prosecution has been ordered
and no grand jury has been summon
ed to determine the question. so far as
the department knows.

STANDARD BUYS AGAIN.
Branch of big Concern Secures Yalu.
able Oil Territory Near Cameron, land
on Fish Creek.

SIsTERsvILLE, w. Va, April 10
e. r. Cowell, prominent yonng bro
ker of this city, yesterday closed big
oil deal which adds to the formidable
strength of the STANDARD In this State
and weakens the incipient pipe line
opposition of the Pure Oil Company.
The deal in question was the sale by
G. Y. and M. L. Benedum to the Car
ter Oil Company, branch of the
Standard, of their valuable oil prop
erty on Fish creek and in the Little
Germany district, near Cameron,
Marshall county. About 5, 900 acres,
the greater part of which is undevel-
oped, and IA producing wells, with a
gross daily production of 900 barrels,
are concerned in the transfer. The
consideration was something over
$500, 900. The IA wells represent the
total drilling operations since the
Benedum Bros. began developing,
not quite year ago, and are so dis
tributed over the large tract as to
reasonably determine the productive
ness of the undeveloped area. Three
of the wells are on the Hafer heirs
farm Of 200 acres, one on the Redfox
Of 200 acres, two on the Nolte of
$50 acres, four on the Caine of 60
acres and four ON the Booher and
Hicks of so acres. In the same tract
the Reichter farm of 80 acres, with
one well and a number of locations,
is claimed by the Benedum Bros,
but their ownership is disputed by
the South Penn and the matter is
now being litigated in the courts.
This sale well exemplifies the posi-
bilities of the oil industry. Not many
years ago the Benedum Bros. were
leasing for the South Penn for mod
est remuneration; now they have just
closed a half million deal, which COW
ers operations of less than a years
standing and besides own oil and gas
property in Peasants; Monohgalia and
Marion counties which is probably
worth as much more. In the Gamer
on sale they will share part of the
proceeds with j. G. Trees of New
Martinsville, who owned an interest
in the Redfox and Nolte farms.

AFTER CROOKS.

FAIRMoNr, April 15.-The B. q o.
detectives who have been accom-
plishing so much in their line OF
work the past few months, say they
do not intend to let the matter rest
but will persevere until they have
all the noted crooks in this section
behind the bars. Captain John
Short and his force of officers, have
succeeded in capturing the following

shall county, for stoning passenger

each; Lawson Means, two years,
from Taylor county, stealing bag

MADE GOOD.

Big audience Enjoyed said Pasha very
Much OD Monday Night-an0ther
Opera Tonight.
The Opera House was crowded
last night to hear Said Pasha which
was presented by the Columbia
Opera Company. The performance
made hit with the people there.
The whole thing was exceptionally
good and no one has any kick com
ing over it.
Several of the singers have right
to be regarded as artists and they
are very clever. The chorus is good
the scenery is elaborate and nothing
in connection with the show is any
thing but high class.
The rest Of the week will be taken
up by this company and it is safe to
say that it will have big houses
every night. The prices are reason
able. Morgantown people have a
right to be glad of the chance to hear
such an excellent company. To
night the company will present Fra
Diavola.
