GIVES IT UP.
Julius Andrassy Can't Solve the Min
isterfal Crisis.

Budapest. Hungary, March 22.--
Jules Andrassy, the former premier,
has failed to solve the ministerial
crisis. He had an audience with the
emperor at which he relinquished the
task of attempting to form new
cabinet.
At a meeting today of the opposi-
ton groups a resolution was adopted
to the effect that it was impossible to
form cabinet from the ranks of the
com bined opposition or even support
such a cabinet If formed, because of
the attitude of the crown which only
approves a. ministry from whose pro-
gramrne the questions of Hungarian
colors and Hungarian words of COM
mand in the army were eliminated.
The resolution also affirmed that the
demand of the crown for the conclusion
of a financial agreement with the Aus
trian government and an unconditional
ratification of the commercial treaty
with Germany could not be accepted as
it would prevent the realization Of the
economic independence of the Hungar-
ian government. The meeting therefore
declared that the, coalition of the OPP
position groups could not support any
cabinet constituted on such a basis and
was resolved to maintain unaltered the
solidarity of the coalition during the
present serious crisis and vote with
Count Julius AndraSSy.

The difficulty of finding good invest
ments at attractive prices, says the Fin
ancial Review, is strikingly shown by
the quickened flow Of capital into real
estate. In previous years this turning
of capital from securities towards real
estate has usually marked the climax of
q boom. In this case. however. it would
be hazardous to make such a predic-
ton. the situation being so exceptional.
BE this as it may. the many large in
vestments recently made in real estate.
not only in this city but elsewhere, are
very significant, and have been prompt

NEW YORK PACKERS oU1zzED.
Federal Grand Jury Starts 'sBeef
Trust Investigation There.

New York, March 22.-The federal
grand Jury, under the direction of gov
eminent officials, has been investigating
for a week the methods of the so-caIled
beef trust in New York City and vicin-
ity. The investigation inaugurated last
Monday was continued until Thursday,
when an adjournment for a week was
taken, owing to the illness of the fore
man of the jury. The federal officials
declined to discuss the investigation,
which is surrounded by considerable
secrecy Among those who testified
were W. H. Noyes of Swift & Co., F. @.
Stoltz Of Armour & Co. and President
Blumentha1 of the United Dressed Beef
company.
Legal representatives from Chicago
are here on behalf of the packers, but
have not been allowed to appear before
the grand jury, although they volun-
teered to give evidence.
The exact scope of the inquiry could
not be ascertained, but it is said the
men before the grand jury were ques-
toned as to methods employed by the
east of Chicago and in New York. City.
The question of rebates to certain
wholesalers and large butchers also was
gone into. as we'll as the existence OF
the alleged black list in the credit
systems employed by the firms.
General Burnett, United States dis
trict attorney, said if the investigation
in this city did not warrant the find-

ed might have made their efforts worth
while at any rate. This is taken to in
dictate that the evidence will be used in

ART. NoT scALPs. ZOE Lo.
six Sioux Indians Ignore the Sky
scrapers for Statuary.

Chicago, March ga band of fifteen
sioux Indians. who passed through Chi
cago yesterday afternoon en- route to
their homes in the reservation at Pine
Ridge, S. D., after witnessing the in
augural ceremonies at Washington,
showed while in the city that for art
standards they were strictly on par
with classic Boston, and that they did
not propose for one minute to let the
public know that the bean town" was
ahead of them in the appreciation OF
the artistic.
The indians. who were chaperoned by
L. H. Strohm and Shooting Hawk, chief
of the band, devoted two of the three
hours they spent in the city in reveling
in the Art institute.
It was, indeed, a long leap from the
plains and habitations reminiscent OF
''tomahawl1s'' and Carving knives" to
the refining influences Of the Art insti-
tute, but they did it, and seemingly
with exceeding relish.
When the band arrived its members
| took no visible interest in the towering
| skyscrapers, could not find anything
/ entertaining in the stock yards, and a
| glance at the artificial parks almost
gave them a spaSm, but it took ali OF
/ Mr.. StrOhm's persuasive powers to drag
them from the Art institute in time to
catch their train.
| They were a little bored while pass
/ ing through the rooms devoted to paint
/ ings, but when they reached the de-
partment where the statuary is kept,
/ their tired look vanished and they be-
came interested in a hurry.
The Indians examined every muscle
of the statues, commenting enthusiast
| tfcally among themselves. Shooting
/ Hawk became so interested in one sta
/ tue, 1.-THE Wrestlers," that he wanted
to know if he could buy it.
After the party left the institute, they
were conducted through the Auditorium
Annex. Hollow Horn fell behind the
rest at the Annex and almost was kid
naped by a bell boy. who took him
4 for Caruso, the noted tenor who 'eWag-
ners'' here this week.
The bell boy had instructions to
watch for the grand opera star, and
/ thought Hollow Horn fitted the descrfp-
ton exactly. Mr.. Strohm rescued him
from the clutches of the youth just as
he was starting to take him up the
elevator.
Some of the Indians were inflicted
l with the following names. which they
took with them at $50 over the Chicago
4 Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad: Charg-
ing Bear, yellow Thunder, Fierce
Whoop, Big Tobacco, Black Chicken
/ and others
They had a colored boy Il years OF
age. a bell boy in Washington, along
| with them. He-Wanted to go with the
crowd and they declared they thought
| they could make a pretty good Indian

WATCH THE KAISER.
French Are Interested in His Pro-
posed Trip to Morocco.


Paris, March 22.-Emperor VIII
Iiam's proposed visit to Morocco at
the moment when France Is estab-
fishing her paramount influence there
attracts marked attention and COM
ment. Concerning the visit itself re-
ports to the erect that France has
taken umbrage are distinctly denied,
as it is pointed out that there is noth-
ing incorrect in such visit, which is
altogether natural during a cruise in
the Mediterranean. However, the
authorities recognize that the visit is
being used in unfriendly quarters as a
pretext to stir up luminosity and ex-
cite the Moors to believe that they
should resist the acceptance of the
French plan for administering the
country. The officials here say they
do not regard the Germans as being
party to this maneuver, which Is at
tributed mainly to the Morocco CORE
spondent of a leading London news
paper.
Owing to the Anglo-French agree
ment the authorities here expected that
British official and press opinion would
assist in the execution of the French
policy. This policy has now reached a
crisis as the French mission at Fee is
awaiting the suItan's final answer.
Therefore the British press representa-
lions that Emperor Williams visit may
interrupt the French policy are strong
~ disapproved.
Relative to the suggestion that Ger
many seek equality of trade rights IN
Morocco it is said that the Anglo
French agreement distinctly provides
for an open door policy whereby the
United States, Germany and other
countries have the same commercial
rights in Morocco as France.

Twenty years ago. when Topeka was
little more than half as big as she is
now, the city was regarded as large
enough for two theaters and the
Grand was built. 1t was successful
for a time and probably would have
continued to be SO under proper man
agement and barring the formation of
the theater trust. If Topeka was big
enough for two theaters them it is not
surprising to learn that Woodward &
Burgess have their eyes on the city
now with a view to opening a second
play house here.
