 This investigation is still on These men make daily reports to Comm.s- sioner Garfield. They have sent in thousands of pages since April l, concerning not only the operations of the Beef Trust, which is composed of seven corporations and controls 60 per cent of the meat business of the United States, but also of the rail roads. the system of rebates that pre- vails. the freight determinations. and the beef boycots Still no publicity. Nothing is given out to the public. No person in the department knows what the gist Of these reports is except Commissioner Garfield. He makes ] an abstract to the President. His 1 file clerk, his secretary and the jaw yers under him dare not say a word about them. One investigator knows
 not what another does. COmmis- sioner Garfield refuses absolutely to tell single fact.
 lie points to the law which says the
 results of the investigations shall be
 communicated to the President and
 that the President shall be the judge
 of what portion of the information SC
 cured shall be made public.
 Secretary Cortelyou was in close | touch with Commissioner Garfield in these investigations and got all the SC cret information about these trusts lso-caIled, before he became chairman of the Republican National Commit
 tee, and began to receive politica I contributions from some of the alleg
 q trusts.
 The Department of Justice is alsC
 concerned in Beef Trust affairs. . has also had agents in the field Thes< . men have been seeing whether th' I Beef Trust is violating a certain in ljuncticu granted by Judge Grosscup il I Chicago on May 26, 1903. which re strains the Beef Trust from carrying . on its business as formerly. The ap

 Washington. Oct. 1s.-Not one fact about trusts, secured by the Depart ment of commerce-the sole object was to be publicity-bas been made public in twenty months.
 No witnesses have been subpoe- naed nor any hearings held. although the law creating the department granted it power 10 subpoena wit nesses and compel their attendance and testimony
 The only informantioa obtained has been classified and given to the President. Only three men know ex- setly what this Information Is. They are George B. Corteiyou, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, and James R. carfiei6, Chief of the Bureau of Corporations.
 Secretary Metcalf, the present head of the Department of Commerce. has not been in office long enough to find out anything.
 The department. while Ccrtelyou was heal, conducted three major and eight minor Investigations. The first were into the Shipbuilding Trust, the e-aEfSN lAAE' AkASAA nAt[G AttAiftdAAtCc anu the Beef Trust Nothing came of them. The shipbuilding and insuT- ance investigations were not complet ed when the Beef Trust was taken up This is still going on
 The e.ght minor investigations re viewed the corporation laws in the States of New York. Illinois. Ohio West Virginia, Massachusetts. Indi- ana, New Jersey and Connecticut.
 Ten lawyers made these investiga tions. They were instructed not only to examine the laws, but 10 made . general report on the corporations I these States. These results were also tabulated by Commissions. Garfield given to Secretary Cortelyou and by Secretary Cortelyou taken 10 the Pres ident.
 The investigations into the Ship building Trust and the insurance com panies were begun in the summer oi 1903. Ten special investigators were put on the Shipbuilding Trust. The orders were to find out exactly whl were behind the crookedness of tha' great financial bubble A number o men were put at work on the book: Ol l4E sat t4lG HIS LII GAsLC ph-@-Nc

A Sad Case.

Little Nellie Curtis, five years
old, and her little brother. Charles,
three years old, left Sunday to
live with their grandmother, in
White Cloud, Kansas. There is y
sad little story connected with
these two children. Their mother
"a away with another man, leav-
ing her husband and these chill
dren. They are very sweet little
children, the Girl being blessed
with beautiful eyes and long eye
lashes that distinguish her in a
very marked manner. She had a
sad little face that appealed to
every one who saw her-she SEEM
ed to he suddenly aged. frozen, as
it were, with responsibility When
she entered school she told her
teacher. Il call Mrs. Delaney
mother but she is not my mother;
my mother came and kissed me
one night and told me to take
good care of little brother, and
then she went away"
1t is beyond the comprehension
of man how a mother could leave
two such sweet little children to
the cold charity of the world,
though these two little ones found
Il mothers love and a mothers
care in the person of Mrs. Delaney,
until they set out on their journey
to Kansas.
