st. Louis, April 13.-Investigation of
the charges of boodling made in con-
nection with baking powder legislation
in the state legislature is being carried
on today by grand juries in session in
st. Louis and Jefferson City. Circuit
Attorney Joseph w. Folk, under whose
direction the st. Louis grand jury has
been at work during the past week,
has secured important information, it
is believed, that will be made use of
before the Jefferson City body which
resumed it's sessions this morning. Mr..
Folk and Attorney General E. G. Grow,
who is taking care of the Jefferson
City end of the investigation, are
working together and the fact that evil
dence given before the two grand
.juries is available for comparison
makes the situation serious for those
who may not have told the truth. 1t
is stated that perjury indictments may
even be found before the return OF
actual bribery indictments.
Speaker Whitecotton, of the lower
house of the legislature, held long
conference with Circuit Attorney Folk
yesterday and it is understood gave
valuable information to that official. A
number of important witnesses have
been called by both bodies for exami
nation today.

A KNOCK OUT.
A Lively Fight Took Place at BsIen
Saturday Night.
HEAVY WEIGHTS.

The active town of Belen, the bust
ness and social center of the Santa Fe
cut off life, is becoming quite noted as
sporting town.
Saturday night two glove contests
were pulled off that were as game as
any of the sports usually witness.
The first was lightweight contest
between a couple Of the strong arms
from the grading camps, which was
rather tame for the game qualities of
the spectators.
The next was battle between a
couple Of heavyweights, a Kentuckian
and Texan, which brought out the
admiration of the spectators and the
blood of the contestants.
This battle lasted for twelve rounds,
and every round was fast and furious.
Both men fought hard and 1t was a
pretty even fight up to the twelfth
round, when the Texan landed heavily
on the Kentuckian's jaw, making him
eat dirt. The blooded Corn Cracker
was on his feet again, but before he
could get his Kentucky blue blood to
circulating right the Lone Star man
landed again with a sledge hammer
blow in the same place, bringing the
Kentuckian down as he would Texas
steer
The fight was very exciting and suit
ed the boys exactly.
The grading gangs out Of Belen are
filled with pugilists, whose physiques
are like iron, and 1t is their delight
to enter the ring to lick or get licked,
and it is no acting at that, but the real
thing.

METAL WORKERS.
Annual Convention OF the Iron, steel
and Tin Workers.

and Tin Workers.
Columbus, Ohio, April 13.-Dele-
gates are arriving in large numbers for
the annual convention of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, which will begin here to-
morrow and will continue for ten days
or two weeks. This organization is
one OF the largest and most influential
labor bodies in America, and there are
several things that combine to make
the present gathering the most lmpor-
tant in it's history. The organization
has grown with great rapldity during
the last year and many new lodges of
steel workers are sending their first
delegates to this convention.
Some radical changes are proposed
in the laws of the organization, such
as doing away with annual conven-
tions, redistricting the local lodges in
blocks of nifty, with district executive
committees to make wage scales and
business agreements, and these will
be submitted for the consideration of
the gathering. Another important
matter to be considered and acted
upon Is the proposition of the Republic
Iron & Steel company, which offers to
sell stock to the workmen on easy
payments. The company also promises
to give the workmen holding stock a
director who shall have the same
power as any of the other directors.
The association will discuss the mat
ter, and If it deems the proposition a
good one the workmen of the CON-
pany, who are all members of the as
sociation, will be advised to take
stock.
The discussion of The wage scale
and conditions of labor for the ensuing
year will, Of course, be one of the most
important features of the convention.
No radical demands are anticipated,
however, and it is thought that an am
icable agreement with the mill owners
will be reached without great difficult
ty. The election of officers is attracting
more attention among the delegates
than usual owing to the opposition that
has cropped out against the reelection
of President Theodore Shaher. There
is no Disgusting the fact that Presi-
dent Shaffers management OF the late
unsuccessful strike of the steel work
ers. has caused considerable dissatis-
faction among the rank and file of the
association. Friends of the president,
however, express the opinion that he
is still the most influential man in the

tremely weak on the curb today. sell
ing off to 9S1s, decline of SIS points
from last Thursdays closing quota
tions during the early session. Much
of the selling came from stock ex-
change houses and there seemed to be
no support. There is little doubt that
some of today's selling was of forced
character. The course OF the North

feet on the general stock market. the

of to points were common. During
