FEDERAL GRAND JURY WAITS
Report that IL viii investigate Al
leGed Beef Combine
Denied.

The grand Jury in the federal court was
excused until $50 o'clock Tuesday. II
was rumored around the federal build
ing that the grand jury would take
up the alleged combination among
the packing houses, but the assistant
district attorney denied the rumor,
saying that the local %of1cers OF the depart
ment had received no Instructions from
Washington on the subject and that before
the question could be presented to the
grand jury much preliminary work would
have to be done in the way OF securing
evidence upon which to secure an indict-
ment.
The present grand jury is one OF the
most remarkable in the history Of the dis
trict from the fact that Il contains the
names OF q number OF merchants and bank
ers Of Omaha and that 1t vii! BE called to
pass upon the evidence OF more witnesses
than any grand jury in many years. As a
start for It's work eighty Indians from the
Omaha and WlnnebAgo agencies have been
summoned. These witnesses will testify
mainly as to the sale Of liquor to Indians
on the reservation. The majority come
from the winnepago agency, where no
thorough investigation has been had for
over q year.
The forenoon in the court was devoted
to the call Of cases and lorna motions re-
curing no argument. There are at this
term Of court 255 cases on the trial docket,
ninety-seven OF them to be tried by jury
and 1853 on the equity side Of the
court. There are 17S cases on the
docket Of the district court. forty-hve
Of which are for trial at this
term. The usual trouble was experienced
in securing cases for trial at the opening
Of court, and the Judge suggested the ad-
visibility OF excusing the petit jury until
next week.
Judge Garland Of South Dakota may be
called to assist Judge Munger in the trial
Of cases, as the latter announced that he
intended to complete the jury trials by
the middle Of June and close the term Of
court practically by July 1.

GOING TO MEET JEFFRIEs
Robert FitsstmmOns Crossing the
Continent in Quest of More
Rim Trouble.

wearied Of long-range haggling over
prize fight terms Robert Fitzsimmons
passed through Omaha yesterday morning
enroute for California, where he will meet
Jeffries In his own territory and endeavor
to conclude arrangements for q champion
ship battle.
In dark ~hannels, with an automobile cap
on his head and house slippers on his feet,
the Cornishman stepped from the observa-
ton car Of Union Pacific Overland train No.
/ at Union station at $50 and g~ossiped with
newspaper men during the twenty minutes
his train stopped here. He was met with
an armload of flowers from admirers.
The fighter was looking At as a gladiator.
Health and strength and perfect condition
seemed to exhale a little atmosphere OF
reserve power about him and the huge
shoulders were soon the central point
Of many gazing eyes. In no feature Of APP
pearance, speech or habit does Fitzsimmons
show his age and in a more dignined way
he is as frisky as the boyish J~effries.
Tom Wilson, the soldier pugilist, was
with Fitzsimmons, also Clark Ball. his man
ager; Mrs. FitEsimmons and Robert, jr.
The other children were left in the east
with Mrs. Martin Julian, as was the great
dog, which, by the way, is another one, the
huge animal that came to Omaha with the
fighter before having died.
II want TO fight" said Fitzsimmons, land
I uhall do everything In the world l can to
get this matter fixed up. You can't do any
thing with anyone when you are 5000 miles
apart. l had hoped till recently to have
this fight about June 10, but I hear now
that Jeffries will want more time to make
form.
"If this night cannot be brought about I
will have another. II / learn definitely
from Jeffries In time that we can do moth
ing l shall jump across to England and
fight the winner Of the Sharkey-Ruhlln
tight, which occurs there on Derby day.
June 2. We could have It during corona
tion week. Till the gong sounds the
chances favor Rubin over sharkey. because
Of his superior thickness and reach. but
Tom has q terrible punch and II he lands
one that will end It.
II am weighing about 1856 in training.
l have not been working hard the last ive
weeks, but I am always fairly At, and two
prime condition"
FitEsimmons has enormous hands, which
he carries in his trousers pockets like a
school boy. He also stands with his feet
spread wide apart like a college cub when
he talks, and looks straight At you all the
time. He is not a particle boastful, but
quietly confident. Not q word against
Jeffries can be wormed out OF him, but
when asked on what he bases his own
hopes Of winning, he said:
my general superiority as a fighter
should bring me out on top. In only one
thing has Jeffries the advantage, which Is
weight. The difference there lie vast. He
is very strong and has a fierce blow, but I
am strong enough myself. though not
heavy. and l can hit as hard as anyone.
Meanwhile. / have the advantage in craft
ness"

BUTCHERS MAY CLOSE SHOPS
Hold Meeting In New York and En-
terrain Plan of Quitting
Until Prices Drop.

NEW YORK. May 6.-over 400 Kosher
butchers, members of an East Side Hebrew
organization of the craft, met today to
consider the high price Of meats.
A proposition received with much favor
was to close the shops entirely during the
prevalence OF high prices. Another plan
we'll received was TO establish one store In
each block and have the butchers from
other stores work together. 1t was finally
decided to place the matter In the hands OF
a committee to report tomorrow.
The committee was Instructed to COM
munIeste with the Allied Butchers asso-
citation OF Greater New York and endesvor
TO have them send delegates to the meeting.
It was said that the sales Of Kosher
butchers In earlier times was coo. 900 pounds
weekly. but at present the amount Is only
800, 900 pounds.

will gradually strengthen affairs on tho
other side OF the Atlantic.
As TO the future Of the market there
seems to be nothing to hinder a further
advance. except the exceedingly plain fact
that prices are high enough, and the OPP
portunities for a bull market are much
Inferior TO those of a year ago. Forum
ately, stocks are generally In strong hands
the public has been unusually cautious In
entering the market. and there Is a general
feeling of skepticism abroad, which is
something OF a safeguard and prevents any
outbreak Of wild Speculation. There. are
weak spots, and possible squalls in sight,
so caution Is necessary In speculative oper-
atoms; but thus far the present era has
been ~singularly free from speculative ex-
cesses, considering the tremendous de-
velopments of the last five years. The
sensational declines In International POWER
and General Carriage emphasize the warn
ing to let the industrials severely alone.
Wednesdays pinch in the money market
was somewhat disturbing, While on the
other hand the increases in Northern Pa
cinc and Pennsylvania dividends were very
emphatic reminders OF railroad prosperity.
