This new volume by one of our favorite
young authors belongs to the handy little
series known as 1.-THE Pocket Book

Harold MacGrath will readily be remem-

no author, possibly, could have been Sc

an appealing way the three chosen char

have a wilfu but very charming young
princess of a mythical principality in the
Vader land, an irate uncle and a romantic
American consul, so 1t Is easy to imagine
the adventure, mystery and humor which
results from this combination. That it
is most acceptably and eharmingly pre-

surety. For his publisher says: Mr..

Mrs. Virginia Frazier Boyle, the we'll

One of the most important books of

book has made a great sensation in Ger
many. where it has already reached its
eighth edition in the course of three
month. an unheard of experience i'm Wag-
ner literature The letters are remarkable
in every way, not only because they throw
a most interesting light on a very impor-
tant period of Wagner's life, but also be-
cause of their own beauty and literary
quality. II was during his acquaintance
with Frau Wesendonck and under her
inspiration that Wagner planned his Iris
tan and Isolde, and the letters give a
most vivid and Illuminating idea of the
conception and growth of that marvellous
work Eris Kloss who writes in Die

C0NSPIRACIES ARE ALLEGED

Chicago, March 31.-Conspiracy in
dictments are threatened against
heads of big meat packing concerns
unless alleged tampering with wit
nesses who have been summoned to
testify before the federal grand jury
is discontinued at once. With two wit
nesses on the stand yesterday who, it
is asserted, admitted that they had
been approached with a suggestion
that their testimony be mild, the jury,
it is declared, is getting ready to take
drastic action.
I'VE wish no interference with wit
nesses," said Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Pagin, "even if we have to re-
sort to proceedings under the con-
spiracy statute to do So"
Belief was general tonight that Mr..
Pagin has already laid out plans OF
new indictments.
Fifteen witnesses were heard yes
terday, three women being among
those who testified. The women were
said to be stenographers, employed
by the National Packing company.
One of the witnesses before the grand
jury was Charles E. Mead of Boston,
formerly connected with Swift & Co.'s
car lines. Mr.. Mead said that he had
not been in that business for three
years and was able to testify only
concerning the methods in use then
in carrying on the business. The wit
ness said that since resigning his posi-
ton Swift & Co. had disposed of their
interests in the car line business. L..
S. Curtis of T. E. Baker & Co. of Bos-
ton, and Frank Dimpom of Omaha,
were other witnesses before the jury.
Mr.. Dimpom explained the meat bust

through which the consumer obtains

The fifteen secret service men who
have been frequenting the corridors in
the building where the grand jury is
in session, were not to be seen yester-
day. District Attorney Morrison was
said to have ordered that waiting wit
nesses instead of spending their time
in the vicinity of the jury room are
to be concealed in downtown hotels.
In this way the witnesses will be
more readily prevented from learning
the identity of the secret service men
watching for possible irregularities.

Japanese initiative, is regarded here
as evidence of excellent discrimina-
ton. The Japanese thereby secure a
firm friend who, at the same time, will
make it point Of honor to bring the
negotiations to successful close,

itself officially in any movement look
