ARE At TER THE
BEEF TRUST"

Chicago, Feb. 22.-The first step
leading to possible indictment of mem
bers of the alleged beef trust" was
taken here yesterday. A special fed
eral grand jury venire was ordered
drawn and deputy United States mar

alleged trust. Indictments will be
sought on charges of secret violation

by Judge Grosscup of the United
States circuit court, restraining men,
bers of the alleged trust from illegally
combining in restraint of interstate
commerce. The decision of Judge
Grosscup was recently. sustained by
the United States supreme court.
Much secrecy was maintained con-
corning the affair and the deputy
marshals were dispatched under or
ders to serve the subDoenas immedi-
ately and to make puplic no facts
concerning the affair.
For more than eight months inves-
tigation has been carried on secretly
in Chicago. Orders came from Attor-
ney General Moody to United States

Governor Signs Commission for Iowa
Lads

Des Moines, Feb. Ex-Governor
Cummins yesterday signed commits
sions for forty-nine Iowa high school
boys to represent the estate at the
presidential Inauguration in Washing
ton. The list includes boys from all
sections of the state who have been
recommended for the honor by their
respective school superintendent ow-
Ing to their high standing in mental
and physical development.
The remarkable large number of
Iowa parents who have thus express
ed a willingness to pay the consider
able expense for the trip of their boys
to the Inauguration has been a great
surprise but nevertheless a great
qualification to the governor and state
superintendent. There is now every
assurance that Iowa will have as fine
a delegation of high school boys to
participate in the inaugural exercises
as any state in the union.
State Superintendent Riggs will
meet the Iowa boys in Chicago March
2, which afternoon at l o'clock they
will leave in special Pullman sleep
er over the Pennsylvania for Wash
ington. The Great Northern hotel will
be the rendezvous in Chicago.

English Papers Denounce Decision Of
Commission

London, Feb. ga strong chord
of Indignation is sounded by the Lon
don newspapers this morning over
the semi-official statement relative to
the decision of the North sea COM
mission giving to Russia the victory,
but 1t is still hoped that the publica-
ton of the full text or the commits
sion's report may modify the impress
sion produced by the preliminary ver-
sion, which Is one of intense disap-
pointment.
The Daily Mail goes SO far as to de-
clare that the decision has dealt a
death blow to arbitration. Some of
the newspapers blame the government
strongly for ever consenting to submit
such a matter to arbitration, while
some Of the government organs find
cold comfort in the fact that the coun-
try by doing SO avoided war with Rus.
STA. No question is raised that the
decision must be respected and Great
Britain's share of the heavy costs
will be ruefully paid; but it is con.
sidered that the decision leaves the
question of a neutrafs right on the
sea in deplorably unsatisfactory
state and creates dangerous prece.

GEAR DECIDES TO
CONTINUE WAR
All the European Courts Have
Been Informed OF the
Decision.
oYAMA CAN Be DEFEATED
Gear Also Thinks All Force Of Criti-
cism Would Continue Against Gov
eminent That Accepted War and
Then Betrayed Country.

Berlin, Feb. 24.--The emperor OF
Russia has elected to continue the
war. His position is absolutely firm
vised in that sense.
The war will be pressed with the
utmost energy, the domestic situa-
ton being now within the control Of
the authorities.
Those who have advised peace and
suggested inquiries for Japan's terms,
the French and British governments,
are for the present silent and are like
ly to remain so unless events of an ex-
traordinary character shake the Rus
sian emperor's resolution. The con-
siderations that led to the emperor's
decision as understood here, are:
First-The judgment of the chiefs
of army that Field Marshal Oyama
not only cannot defeat General Kuro-
patkin but stands In danger of defeat
himself How cowardly therefore for
Russians to ask for mercy, with all
the men and money essential to a
successful war.
Second--All the forces of criticism
now directed against the government
for having fought rather than yield to
legitimate interests and for having
failed to win victories, would be con-
tinued with added fury against the
government that accepted war and
then betrayed the country. A gov
eminent that would crave peace of
Russia's enemy while still capable of
winning victory would be giving the
party Of change genuine grounds for
a revolution.
The facts of the military situation,
love Of country and arguments of ex-
pediency were all against peace and
for pressing the war hopefully.

Corning, Feb. 24.--The Adams Coun-

The Endorsements were so sweeping

respect TO the service given to the

was recited with such fidelity, that
the audience was fairly swept from

his opponents and effectually silenced
the bitter criticism (which Henry
Wallace of Des Moines had but just
uttered amidst cheers. What we

tor, and the audience applauded the
sentiment vociferously. Later, thrs

proposed Porter electric road from
Des Moines through Nevada to FL
dora. 1t is intended to built the Des
Moines and Nevada section this sea-

built in conjunction with the Polk
lines out Of Des Moines, the Folks to
supply an entrance to Des Moines
from near Saylor and the Porter in
terests to build the balance Of the
line. The survey has been started
from the end of the old Polk survey
about midway between the old town of
Saylor and the town of Ankeny, where
it is proposed this new road will cross
the Northwestern.
Mr.. VIII Porter, who is at the head
of the project, is in Des Moines and
has been here for some time, but is not
disposed to talk of his project. He
says that he has assurances of finan-
cial backing that will result in the
construction Of the road, but does not
say what this backing is. In the in

appear as incorporators and directors
