ALLEGED BEEF TRUST

KnOx's Letter to BE Made Public.

WASHINGTON, April IA. Chairman
Ray. of the House committee on judiciary.
to whom was referred the Thayer resolu-
tion calling upon the attorney general for
information relative to the prosecution of
the alleged beef trust has written letter
to Attorney General Knox concerning the
matter and has received a reply, which he
will lay before the judiciary committee at
its meeting tomorrow. The attorney gen.
erals letter will not be made public before
1t is presented to the committee. Mr.. Ray
said to-day: "I have no doubt that the at
torney general of the United States will
Immediately probe the matter of the al
legged beef trust to the bottom and prosecute
all offenders vigorously if there is sub
stantial evidence that the law has been
or is being violated
Reliable information is TO the effect that
the Department of Justice in the alleged
beef trust matter has not gone beyond the
point of an investigation 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 sum
moned to determine the question so far as
the department Knows.

joy at the statehouse.

The news that Controller of the Currency
Tracewell had approved Indianas war
claim was received with joy at the State
house yesterday. The claim as presented
to the Bureau of Claims in Washington a
few days ago was for $645, ,O65.O on. but Mr..
Tracewell approved the claim for S634,O00.
I'VE expected a reduction TO be made in
the claim we presented" said Auditor Hart
yesterday, 'as the amount deducted from
our claim was for interest that we could
not prove. One item. 81, 6S5. included in the
claim and which was deducted, was for
interest on bonds sold by the State to the
State and which were Cancelled the day of
the safe. The State lost nothing by that
transaction and, therefore was not reim-
bursed. There were other items which were
not allowed that made the difference be-
tween our claim and the one allowed by
Mr.. Tracewell. The claim as allowed was
all we expected.
I'VE are confident Congress will authorize
an appropriation TO pay the claim at once.
As soon as we receive the money we will
send IL to New York to take up that many
State bonds of the S2,313,0O0 State debt We
are glad that Indiana will get the claim
and there will be no attorneys fee to pay
out of the money. The claim was originally
filed in 1868. and we feel additionally pleased
because Indiana is the first State to have
its claim allowed.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-COntroller Rob-

the Indiana claim to-day which is ex-

auditor for the department had reduced the
bill to S513. 900, and the controller added to
this, by his decision, s121, 900, making to-
tai of sS34,O0 The auditor would have dis
approved S23O.OO0 OF this total had he had
jurisdiction, and his report carried an in
tmatiOn that this much should have been
disallowed. The review of the controller
of the treasury will now pass TO the sec
retary of the treasury, who will make a
report 10 Congress that there should be
an appropriation for this amount. 1t will
take him some few days or even longer to
act upon this report. There is reasonable
ground for the expectation that Congress
will be able TO take up the report from the
controller OF the treasury and pass il in
this Congress, giving the State the money
and closing this long contest.
