MARTIN MURMURS
ABOUT BEEF TRUST
Pushes Resolution to Do What
a Government Bureau
Should Do.
Globe Special Washington Service,

f417 Gstreet.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March L.
Representative Martin, of South Da-
kota, claims to have facts in his pos
session which VIII aid the secretary Of
commerce In carrying out his resolu-
tion of investigation of the beef trust,
which was reported to the house to-
day from the committee on Interstate
commerce..
In urging the committee to report his
resolution he declared that the price Of
beef has steadily advanced, although
the price on hoof has as steadily de-
clined. He says this is due to COM
bination between the large packing
houses. Seven Of these houses. he says,
made profits last year in excess Of or
dinary profits due to these methods ag-
gregating $159,000 daily. In August,
1903, the price of dressed beef was
s8.471s Fer 100 pounds, although it cost
but $5.l7 on the hoof. In February,
1901, dressed beef sold at the same
price, but beef on the Iioof cost $3.50.
Mr.. Martin has the promise of the
house leader for an opportunity to call
UP his resolution at an early day and
tell the house why he wants 1t passed.
The results Of the inquiry will. under
the law, be reported to the president,
and the latter has discretion to make
them public or not. He may also
make the results the basis for recon-
mending legislation, If 1t seems de-
sirable.
Many members Of congress are dis
posed to regard the Martin resolution
as unnecessary, as the department. of
commerce has a special bureau, the
bureau of corporations, under James
Garfield, created just for this purpose,
and armed and equipped with all the
law and power necessary for such in
vestigations. The bureau has been
organizing and still is not ready to
do business. Walter E. Clark.

An investigation showed that there

that a passenger had struck a rail

wagon track near the pile of rails
showed that just before the train had
arrived a wagon had evidently passed
and caught one of the rails, turning it
so that it fell down the embankment.
The passenger was travelling at a high

than to give the men on the engine a

from his suit to pay his car fare to

1t was proved by the defense that
the station was we'll lighted and that
a person in a normal condition would
have been able to see the drop and
avoid it. Norton and Milliken, attor-

defense.
Griffith came to the city last winter
