Dor Is Making a Quiet
Investigation.
WORK DONE IN SECRET

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor, through the
Bureau of Corporations, is making an in
vestigation into the operations of the So
called beef trust" A part of the inves-
tigation is being conducted in accordance
with resolution passed by the House of
Representatives recently. The resolution,
which was drafted by Representative Mar
tin, of South Dakota, requested the de-
partment officials to ascertain, if possible,
the cause of the differences in price be-
tween beef on the hoof and dressed beef
1t was pointed out that Western stockmen
believed that they were being discrim-
mated against by the trust. and that the
markets of the country were being manir-
ulated TO their detriment.
The pending investigation is being con-
Quoted by Commissioner Garfield, under
the direction of Secretary COrtelyou Be-
yond that fact practically nothing is OBJ
by the department, and none will be made
The scope and precise character of the in
quiry are not known, and the names of
the agents who are operating in the fields
are not disclosed Whether the results
Of the investigation are TO be made public
at its conclusion will depend entirely on
President Roosevelt. He Will determine
absolutely whether they are to be made
public, and whether they are to be made

or Crook.
PARKER VS.. HEARST

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March % Hoosier
Democrats are anxiously inquiring if the
ambitions of Tom Taggart, of indianapolis.
and Senator Stone, of Missouri, will not
result in a clash between these two gentle
men. Tom Taggart wants to be chairman
OF the Democratic national committee.
When that organization met here in jan
uary Taggart and Cum Shoe Bill" Stone
became great crories. and the report was
at once sent broadcast that the Missouri
senator would support the candidacy of
the indianapolis man for the national
Craftsmanship. When Taggart was here
recently, accompanied by State Chairman
O Brien, Vice Chairman Tanning and Gill
NcNutt of Terre Haute a meeting was
held with Senator Stone The Hoosiers
expressed satisfaction with the conference.
But il is related that Notwithstanding the
confidence of the Indiana men that Stone
is really after the craftsmanship himself.
In fact. Taggart received a tip 70 this
effect while he was in Washington. My
understanding has been" he said. that
Senator Stone will support me-" Further
than this Mr.. Taggart declined to discuss
the matter. 1t would not be surprising to
those who familiar with the methods
of Gum Shoe Bill that at the opportune
time he will step In and take the chair
manship, leaving Mr.. Taggart, of Indian
apolis. out in the cold
The word sent out by Mr. Taggart and
his aids on their return TO the State
Parker. and that a reef should be taken
in the sails of Hearst is received with
great interest here. If the Indiana men
are acting in accordance with these re-
ports IL would seem TO indicate that the
conservatives have at last reached an
agreement. According TO letters received
oerats who are opposed to the Bryan
Hearst movement

four men who have been robbing post
offices in this section turned up here,
and, after blowing up the safe, got
away with $50 in cash and 5000 in
stamps.
They came in an automobile and
disappeared presumably in the same
way.
When the alarm was given it was
found that the postofiice safe had been
neatly blown open and rihed.
The police from Camden came to
aid the local marshall, and together
they came upon a wrecked auto with
a watcher sitting disconsolately in the
mud and rain guarding it. He pro-
tested that the auto was the property
of Stanley Roxford, of Philadelphia
but the police were reluctant to be-
lieve him. They hid the watcher and
themselves until three men came along
carrying repairing tools.
Burglars tools" said the police.
and rushed in. The three men ex-
postulated profanelv, but in vain. They
were allowed to fix up the auto, and
then were forced to ride to the Cam

There it turned out that the auto
really did belong to Rexford and that
the watcher and all were genuine
