FOR CONTEMPT OF THE COURT.
To Investigate Industrial Institutions,
The Department of Commerce and
Labor Has Been Instructed by Res
Olution.
oIution.

Washington. Mar. 3.-Whether the
beef trust is violating the injunction
against it is to be made the subject of
investigation by the department of
Commerce and Labor, according to
resolution ordered reported favorable
to the house by the committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce. Should
the house take favorable action on the
resolution, which is to be called up at
the eariesr possible moment by Chair
man Hepburn, it will constitute the
first instruction from congress to the
new department to exercise the powers
given it under the laws to investigate
the operation of industrial institutions.
The resolution was introduced in the
house February "a by Representative
Martin of South Dakota. Mr.. Martin
was given an extended hearing by the
committe to which he made the asser-
ton that the beef trust was violating
the spirit of the injunction, if not its
letter. The resolution was amended
so as to provide that the report of the
investigation should go to the presi-
dent as provided in the. law creating
the new department, instead of to con-
gress. This amendment was opposed
by Representative Richardson, of Ala
bama, of the committee, who held that
the report should be made to the house.
inasmuch as the house requested the
investigation to be made. 1t was
deemed advisable by the majority of
the committee, however, to abide by
the law and after the investigation has
been made to pass another resolution
requesting the president to submit the
finding to the house. Should the in
vestigatiOn show violations of the in
junction the matter undoubtedly will
be referred by the president to the de-
partment of justice and the trust

Denver, Mar. ATTORNEY General
Miller has received notice from the
attorney general of the United States
that he viii make application, March
II, to the supreme court of the United
States for permission to intervene in
the Kansas-Colorado suit concerning
the use of the Arkansas river waters.
This action on the part of the federal
government, was a complete surprise to
the Colorado officers. ColoradO's con-
tention that no other state nor the
United States has any power to say
what shall be done with waters that
rise in Colorado is opposed by the at
torney general of the United States,
Mr.. Miller said, only as regards the
general government, which will insist
upon its water priorities. Otherwise,
according to Mr.. Miller7s claims, the
position of the United States is favor
able for Colorado
