(By the Associated, Press.)


Chicago, Jan. 7.-Prosecutions against
all the big packing house concerns in the
west for violations of the provision of
interstate commerce law against receiv-
ing preferential rates are contemplated
by the Inter-S State Commerce Commits
sion. This fact developed today during
an investigation begun by the Commits
sion into the handling of packing house
products and dressed meats. 1t also be-
came apparent that the commission and
the railway arrangements of the entire
country practically had entered into an
alliance FOR the purpose OF inducing Con-
gress to pass legislation permitting the
railroads to pool under certain regula-
tions by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and that it is believed such law
can and will be passed.
The third development of the day was
the announcement that the Commission
had requested the attendance here today
of all leading men in the advancement OF
the community of interests idea, includ-
ing j. Pierpont Morgan, James j. Hill
and E. H. Hartman. and that if these
men failed 10 respond to the request
iharsher measures would be taken to
compel their coming.
Evidences upon which to base prOsecu-
lions against the packers was obtained
in abundance. Traffic managers and
vice-presidents of roads east and west
threw up their hands and admitted freely
that there was no pretense toward main
tanning tariff rates on packing houses
products and dressed meats for export or
domestic use except for very short
period of time at the beginning of each
year.

CHINAs EMIER0R AND
EMPRESS ENTER PFKIN
The Dowager Shows by her Conciliatory Man.
ner to the Foreigners That Her Mind
is Not st Ease.
(By the Associated Press.)

Pekin, Jan. THE imperial cortege
entered the Forbidden City at 1870
o'clock this afternoon 1t was the most
brilliant scene Pekin ever witnessed.
The procession consisted of thousand
gorgeoously attired nobIemen mounted
upon glitteringly caparisoned horses.
The Emperor, the Empress Dowager,
Prince Chun, the Empress and several
princes were borne in yellow chairs,
their escort CARRYING hundreds of gay
banners and silk umbrellas. The troops
of Gen. Yuan ShiKai, Governor of Pc
Chi Lii preceded Emperor. The for
cign community assembled on top the
Chen gate.
The Emperor and Empress Dowaser
entered the temple in the gate and burn
ed incense When the Dowager En-
ress reappeared standing in the doorway
of the temple she looked upward. Direct
ly overhead We're the German minister,
DR. Mumm VonSchwartzenstein, the sec
retaries of the German legation, the Of
ficers and ladies of the American garri-
son and the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press.
The Dowager Empress saw. the for
eigners and bowed low. She advanced a
few steps and bowed again in acknow
Judgement of the salutations of the for
eigners. She returned to her chair look
ing upward to the semi circle of foreign
faces and bowling repeatedly.
In the meantime the Chinese soldiers.
Manchu bannermen and minor officials
who had crowded the plaza were rever-
emily kneeling The two arches at the
sides of the ancient gateway framed
hundreds of faces of Chinese coolies
who, emboldened by the presence of for
eigners, ventured to gaze upon their rul-
ers. This incident constituted a most
sharp contrast with the old regime,
when neither diplomats nor natives were
permitted to view the passage of royal
pcrSonageS along the streets.
The expression of the Dowager En-
press seemed almost appealing as she
faced those who had humbled her and
brought her down from her former ar
rogance, and this confirmed the impress
sion that she is returning to Pekn with
anxiety for her safety.

hillside cabin and shout of greeting
as the train swept past Hot Springs.
There was warm welcome at Asheville,
the crowd at the station being large and
enthusiastic. The ovation to the bell
continued during the day and evening.
After a trolley ride to SUNSET Noun
tain the bell escort was this evening
rendered banquet at the Battery Park
Hotel, where number of speeches were
made. Tomorrow the bell will rush
across North Carolina and into Georgia,
spending the night at Savannah.
