CREED PURE And
SIMPLE.
Beef Trust Tried Yesterday
to Arbitrarily Raise the
Price Of Meat.
ABSOLUTELY NO SHORTAGE
On the Contrary the Wares
houses Are Overstocksd
From Jersey to Chi
cago.
ABSOLUTELY NO SHORTAGE


The Beef Trust vase to have ar
bitrarliy advanced the wholesale
price of beef from a quarter to
a half a cent a pound yesterday,
but the scheme fell through owing to
the stand of the New York and Jersey
! City butchers to be held up. Almost to
a man they refused to pay the extra
price demanded by selling agents of a
number of packing houses and threatened
to get meat from other packing houses in
the combination. This threat placed in
the trust in the position of either furnish
ing the beef at the prevailing prices or
placing evidence in the hands of the re-;
tail butchers that an agreement had been
made among all the large packing houses
composing the trust to raise the price
made among all the large packing houses
simultaneously. The selling agents were
thus obliged to accept orders at the old
price

tional campaign.
The keynote of Governor Murphy's re-
marks was statement to the effect that
''the party has done nothing all winter.
Now we have got to get out and do
something Governor Murphy backed
his speech up by butonholing certain
members of the committee, taking them
off in corner and laying down the har-
mony law to them more in detail and
with greater G. O. P. emphasis.
Governor Murphy was present by
special invitation, as were United States
Senators Dryden and Kean. Senator
Dryden wasn't slo weither in telling the
members what he thought about the su
preme necessity of the party getting to-
gether.
Besides the election of delegates, this
convention will have the choosing of the
members of the new State Committee.
One member will be elected from each
county excepting Essex and Hudson,

No more heads fell in the basket of
the Republican guillotine at the City
Hall this morning, and Republican place
hunters and curious spectators went
aawy looking somewhat detected. The
weather added to the general gloom that
pervaded the corridors.
Mayor Fagan's Street and Water
Board met at eleven o'clock and merely
passed motion to take a recess until
two o'clock. From words dropped by
the new Commissioners, the impression
prevailed that there would be nothing
doing even then. 1t was said that the
Commissioners might merely meet and
adjourn. This was taken to mean that
a truce had been entered into by the
counsel of the new and old Boards to the
effect that affairs remain as they were
until Friday when the Supreme Court
will decide whether or not the writ of
error taken ON Saturday morning in be-
half of the old Board iwll act as a stay.
It is said thar no more employees of the
old Board will be discharged until then
at least.
Mayor Fagan, who went to Trenton
last night in the interest of the Equal
Taxation bill and other matters, remain
ed over night and had not appeared at
the City Hall up to noon. The morning
mail brought many letters from place
hunters an dtheir friends urging the

said one of them would have landed Is

cans in favor of rewarding those who
took their first turn-down gracefully in
preference to those who kicked and
