PRICES OF BEEF ARE GIVEN
PACKING HOUSE EMPLOYEES APP.
: PEAR BEFORE GRAND JURY.
Big Percentage of: Profit for Crust;
Is Shown-oattle Refused
by "Big Five.''

Chicago, March 25.-Two Cudahy
employees were examined by the grand
jury in the "beef-trust" investigation
Friday. Manager Michael r. Murphy,
OF that company's South Omaha plant,
was closely examined regarding the
cost of slaughtering and dressing beef,
and careful inquiry w::s made into the
details Of the business, it's profits from
dressed meat and by-products. Muir
ply was on the stand for more than
an hour. He said that the cost esti-
mated for killing and dressing a sin
gle beef was asked and that the bust
ness methods used in city sales at
Omaha together with the source of
fixed sale prices, were desired, but he
was unable to give that Information.
+. Wilkins, manager of the beef de-
partment in the same plant, working
under Murphy, was asked as 70 the
handling of beef, its cost on the hoOf,
sale prices, yield of profits for smateat
and by-products. He was in the wit
ness room only short time.
r. Murphy was asked regarding the
charge that cattle were rejected at the
South Omaha yards when shippers
prices were too high and that by agree.
ment} all the large packers refused to
consider the lot for purchase and used
influence with exporters not to buy,
so that the lot would have to be for
warded to Chicago to be sold at a
sacrifice finally by the cattlemen who
could not afford to send the animals
back to the grazing ground. He re-
piled that he knew of no such transac-
tfons. Murphy also said that he did
not know that such a. game was in
general practice. z:S@ :=..,ss.:
Testimony showing the profits of re-
tail meat dealers and prices of unfail-
ing uniformity for meats at the "bie
five" packers branch houses, was also
given. In a detailed statement the
cost and sale prices of beef handled by
retailers in Kansas City were explained
by Robert Hail.: a dealer from that
city, and the high prices blamed on
the packers. The gist OF. the evidence
showed that the packers charge that
retailers were making 100 per cent,
profit on beef is incorrect, and while
on some cuts the profit is almost thai
amount it is eQualized by the fact that
an equal per cent. is sold at a loss
or at least no profit.

Promptly at 1870 o'clock Friday aft.
ernoon the grand organ in Memorial
church began the solemn tones of
Chopin's funeral march. and at the
same moment the bronze doors at the
main entrance swung open to admit
the small cortege of pall-bearers and
relatives escorting the coffin. Eight
of :Stanford's most stalwart athletes
bore the body down the central aisle
through the thronged congregation to
the senlicircular chancel, and placed
it in front of the altar. In conformity
with an often expressed wish of Mrs
Stanford's. no wealth of flowers
adorned chancel or altar, only a few
modest clusters of white lilies and
roses were used in the church, all
the magnificent floral tributes being
reserved for the decoration of the
mausoleum.
The clergymen who took part in
the services were Rev. William Kirk

HYPNOTIC VICTIM DIES.
Young Girl Passes Away After Eff
teen Days in Trance-Case
Puzzles Physicians.

New York. March 25.-One of the
most remarkable cases in the expe-
rience of the doctors of the Presbyte-
rian hospital in this city ended FRI
cay IN the death of Miss Luella Hues-
tbs, of Mount Vernon, who, with her
mother, Mrs. James H. Huestis, had
been in trance for Is days prior to
her death. More than two weeks ago
both of the women were found uncon-
scious in the home of Henry w. Heller,
a lawyer, of this city, and were sup
posed to have been asphyxiated by
gas. Neither had since recovered con-
seriousness, and physicians and hyp-
notists were puzzled by their unac-
countable coma.
Miss Huestis IVES an attractive
young woman aged % years. Lack of
nourishment was the principal cause
of her death, as it had been impossible
to give her food except in liquid form
and through a tube Stimulants and
oxygen were administered without eff
feet.
A singular fact is that the young
woman's mother, who lay in an ad-
joining room, began to show signs of
the approach of death soon after the
death of her daughter. Like her
daughter, the mother also is greatly
emaciated, and the physicians at the
hospital say that her low vitality is
due practically to starvation. One
specialist in hypnotism and psychol-
ogy, who investigated the case, has
made public his conclusion that the
two women had unconsciously hyp-
Noticed each other, and that gas
asphyxiation had nothing to do with
the case. He explained that he had
himself been hypnotized while hyp-
nothing a patient. and had only been
awakened by the arousing of the SUBJ
ject. The case of the two women
has attracted the attention Of scien-
lists all over the country %:
