JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Jan. Especial
Commissioner /. II. Kinley Of Kansas City,
appointed to take testimony in the oustel
proceedings Of Attorney General Crows on
the charge Of the existence OF a beef trust,
filed his report in the supreme court to-
night.
It finds that the Armour Packing COM
pany. Nelson Morris & Co.. Swift and Com
pany, Hammond Packing company. Cudahy
Packing company and the Schwartzschtld d
Sulzberger company are guilty OF entering
into an agreement to fix and maintain
prices for the sale of dressed beef and pork
in Missouri, but not all Of the companies,
however. operating in st. Joseph, Kansas
City and st. Louis. 1t is set forth that
prices were fixed through agents. managers
and solicitors, and many times by managers
Of coolers in these cities.
The Henry Krug Packing company Of st.
Joseph was found to not have been in the
combination and consequently the report
will release 1t from legal proceedings.
Regarding findings as to meat sold in st.
Louis, the report says:
Il find that the Armour, Swift, Cudahy
and Packing companies, between
August 81, 1899, and May Q, 1902, at st.
Joseph, are guilty of having been parties

federation and conspiracy to fix and regu-
late and control and maintain the fixed or
list price on dressed beef and fresh pork
sold through their respective coolers in st.
Louis to the butchers trade ana consuming
public at that place, and that they did so
ask, sell and receive the price so fixed from
said butchers for such dressed beef and
fresh pork sold to them.
They cannot plead that the managers OF
their coolers and city solicitors who carry
on the business for them did it without
their knowledge and consent. The local
agents of the dressed beef companies did 1t
and all knew it and their knowledge is the
knowledge Of their companies and their
acts are the acts OF their companies
1T appears from the evidence, and l find
that the corporations who are the defehl-
ants at St. Joseph, st. Louis and Kansas
City, sell and offer to the trade at each
point from 50 to so per cent Of the dressed
beef handled and from so to so per cent Of
the dressed pork"

BASE BALL WAR CONTINUES
No Settlement of the Differences De-
tween the American md Ma
tiOnal Leagues.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-"For the present there
will not be a meeting of the peace commit
tees Of the American and National leagues"
said President Ban johnson of the former
organization today.
AT the first conference in New York" he
continued, at was understood that the COM
mittee from the National league had full
power to dispose OF all questions that might
arise. Since then 1t has developed that the
league committee had no authority to act
conclusively on any matter. Two weeks ago
I wrote Chairman Hermann that IL the
National league would clothe its committee
with all power we would be prepared to
meet them, but not until that action had
been taken.
"Mr. Hermann wired me that he would
have his committee vested with full power.
He has made an earnest effort, but failed.
We were prepared to meet the men OF the
National league in the open and strive for a
fair and just settlement. We we're mindful
OF the fact that the patrons OF the game, the
country over, wanted peace, and to serve
the best interests of base ball we were pre-
pared to do our part to bring peace. No
substantial good could come from a confer
ence with a committee that has limited
power. II would simply be a waste of time
and energy

A WOMAN TO DE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair,
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile Of a female mouth, loses
something II the head is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair, It is
now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root Of the
hair, where 1t saps the vitality. The little
white scales the germ throws up in burrow-
ing are called dandruff. To cure dandruff
permanently then and to stop falling hair
that germ must be killed. Newbro's Herpi-
eide, an entirely new result of the chemical
laboratory, destroys the dandruff germ, and,
of course, stops the falling hair and cures
badness.

Seine Makes n Light Haul.

Tit first attempt to seine Lake Manawa to
rid the waters OF the fish which are said to
prey upon the bass and other game fish
was made yesterday afternoon under the
supervision of Deputy Warden Brown. Rep
resentatives Of the motor company and a
number Of others interested in the attempt
were present. Owing to the seine, which
was a new one, not being properly weighted
with lead the attempt was a dismal failure
and the haul only brought to light FIVE gars
and one bass, all Of which we're "grilled"
n the meshes. The gars were destroyed
md the bass returned to the lake.
When the men were bringing the net to
he surface Deputy Warden Brown, who
was anticipating a big haul Of the maraud-
ing class OF fish, excitedly exclaimed, Now
boys. you will see the greatest sight you
ever saw" When the net came up with
only six fish, and they simply entagled by
their gills in the meshes, his disappoint-
ment was keen. Another attempt to seine
the lake at another point will be made Mon
day.
