SO-CALLED BEEF TRUST
Department Of Commerce Is Looking
Into That Matter.
ARE NO SPECULATIVE FEATURES.
Investigation Made by Department with
Aid From Special Service Detectives.
The President VIII Decide Upon Pub
Iic,ty of Conclusion.

Washington. Mar. 24.-The depart
meht of commerce and labor, through
the bureau of corporations, is making
an investigation in the operations of
the So called ''beef trust" A part of
the investigation is being conducted in
connection with a resolution passed by
the house recently. Prior to the
adoption of the resolution, the depart
ment had tahulated certain informa-
ton regarding the beef trust. The
resolution which was drafted by Rep
resentative Martin, of South Dakota,
requested the department to ascertain,
if possible, the cause of the difference
in price between beef on the hoof and
dressed beef. 1t was pointed out that
western stockmen believed that they
were being Disseminated against by
the trust, and that the markets of the
country were being manipulated to
their detriment. Neither Secretary
Cortelyou nor Commissioner Garfield,
of the bureau of corporations will dis
cuss the investigation in any way. 1t
is made perfectly clear, however, that
this investigation will be made by the
officials of the department themselves
without assistance: that the depart
ment will not stoop to detective work
in the conduct of the inquiry, and that
the proceedings will be void of any
spectacular features. There will be no
public hearings, and publicity will be
avoided so far as possible. The inves-
tigation is being conducted by Com
missioner Garfield under the direction
of Secretary Cortelyou. Whether the
results of the investigation are to be
made public at its conclusion will de-
pend entirely on President Roosevelt.
