Lynde Harri- son, Professor Henry Wade Rogers and Hon. George B. Martin. The conn mission is appointed under the terms of section F, paragraph 4, of the city charter, which reads as follows:
 The mayor shall have power to ap- point whenever he may deem it best to do so, three competent, disnterested persons to examine without notice the affairs of any department, officer or em- ploye of said city, and submit the re- suits of said examination to him.
 T place no limitation upon the range or manner in which the investigation shall be conducted, but leave that to the commissioners to determine, fully con- fident that you will examine into any and all charges which you may deem worthy of investigation, and that you will take cognizance of matters which of your own initiative you may deem it wise to look into"
 Mayor Studley stated yesterday after noon that he has ordered this investi- gation at the request of the members of the police commission, whom he says sought to have him appoint such a commission sometime since The mayor says that he has since been communi- eating with the gentlemen whom he has named and others.

SITUATION is ABNORMAL
With Meat Prices Declining the De.
mand Has Dropped OFF.

There is absolutely no excuse for
people worrying about a meat fam
inc" said J.. A. Byrnes Of the Pro-
vision company to a Journal man this
morning, and, Judging from the great
quantities Of finely dressed meat in
the cold-storage room Of the Provi-
sion company, there Is no sdisputing
Mr.. Byrnes. There We're thousands
Of pounds Of beef, pork and mutton
in all sorts of cuts, waiting for the
housewife and any person who could
cast an eye thru the big storage rooms
would have the famine cloud disap-
pear Immediately.
I'VE have more meat on hand to-
day than we had two weeks ago, and
there is more on the way said Mr..
Byrnes, "and in sspite Of famine
chatter, we are selling meats, with the
exception of a few extra choice cuts,
cheaper than we did two weeks ago.
will sell you any time this week
10000 pounds Of pork at 10 cents a
pound-pork that two weeks ago sold
for IA cents. I will sell you 10000
pounds Of good, sweet meat, good
enough for any table, at cents a
pound. Outside Of certain ribs and
dining cars, clubs and htgh-price ho-
tells, meat is selling cheaper than 1t
did ON the day the strike began. Meat
Of all kinds Is Cutting the market, and
is not a scarce article. We are not
dependent on the packers. The finest
bullocks in the Northwest are coming
to us now in greater quantities than
we can handle-meat that is absolute
ly fresh and high grade. AS soon as
this strike started farmers in the
Northwest imm ediately began to put
their stock on the market, and don't
imagine that the only places for meat
to be dressed are at Chicago, Omaha
Kansas City or South st. Paul. y
I'VE are selling veal today at a
less price than we paid for it at
wholesale before the strike. We have
hundreds of the finest hams in the
we are selling for 12A cents a pound
the same price that we sold them fol-
three or four weeks ago. We&are Of
| fering fine pork cuts for 10 cents thai
month ago brought 10 and IA cents
| mot for years have there been such
low prices on meat as right now and
all because farmers are flooding the
| market with, choice stock. If ever 6
person could get his moneys worth
in our market, they can do 1t today
On the opening day Of the strike, with
no excuse whatever for an advance tr
the prices. of meats already on the
cars in Minneapolis, the packers
charged $11 aShundred for beet thai
brought 50 the day before, but that
sort of thing stopped almost instanter
and the butchers Of Minneapolis havt
made no corresponding advance in re:
tail prices. People of Minneapoli!
have steadied themselves for a bogie

there is no famine confronting us.

PARKERITES CONTROL
IOWA CONVENTION

Iowa City, Iowa, July 1s.-The
Parker men are in complete control
Of the democratic convention here to-
day. The old silver crowd made a
feeble effort, but, this was soon ended,
ad only Parker and anti-Hearst men
are left to carry out the work Of the
convention. At the Eighth district
caucus considerable interest was
aroused when the resignation Of ex-
Chairman Maxwell, one Of the strong
supporters Of Hearst, as district COM
was presented. 1t also in
cluded his resignation as chairman Of
the state committee. The resignation
as district committeeman was accept
ed, but not as chairman. j. B. Nc
Ginty Of Ringgold was elected in place
of Maxwell. In the Second district it
was decided to place the name Of
William o. Schmidt of Davenport be-
fore the convention for electorate
large, and a resolution was passed in
dorsing the service pension bill in
congress. The Sixth district was en-
tirely in the hands of the opponents
of Charles A. Walsh, and he left the
caucus before 1t was half over, The
committee on resolutions was COM
posed Of majority of Parker men.
