STARTLING TURN

ARMoUR'S EAST INDIAN REPRE-,
SENTATIVE TESTIFiES.
Jurors Surprised at Strong Evidence
Given of Combination in Re-

Chicago, ILL.,, March 27.-The federal
grand jury investigation of the beef
trust took startling turn this after
noon when ]. e. Shields. of Brooklyn,
N. Y, who claimed to be the East In
dian representative Of Armour, with
headquarters at Calcutta was kept on
the witness stand for the entire after
noon, was closeted with District At
torney C. 3. Morrison for two hours
and then escorted from the Monadnocx
building under close guard of two Sc
cret service operatives, with orders to
appear and resume his testimony Tues
day morning.
Mr.. Shields was given a longer ex-
animation than any other witness.
The foreign trade was said to have
surprised the jurors with unexpected
strong evidence of combination in re-
straint of trade and unlawful agree
ments governing the shipping of meats
from the United States.

New York, March 27.-The definite
statement was made in Wall street
today that John ID. Rockefeller receiy-

of the Standard Oil Co., in which he
owns capital stock to the amount of
$40,000,000 and which has a market
value of $24S,000,000. To this state
ment was added another to the effect
that few employees of the Standard Oil
Co. at No. 2G Broadway receive much
more than 5000 year.
AS most of the .hicials are now mil
ionaires they must have profited by
good advice on investments and the
opportunities they have Of getting in

have more than compensated them

The further statement was made
today that s. c.. T. Dodd, the general
solicitor of the company, who has
been credited with receiving an annual
salary of $250,000, actually gets less
than one third of that amount.

small salary, 1t is said that his total

Mau M Annointad
May Be Appointed.


Washington, d. c., March 27.-Unof.
fetal advices received here tonight
from Santo Domingo report graft
flying restoration of confidence in
that island. There has been for some
days a feeling of insecurity there
brought about through the failure of
the senate to support the administra-
tion's policy. The feeling that the lit
tie republic would be left to the
mercy Of European creditors and in
surrectionary forces was entertained
by President Morales and his advis.
ors.
United States Minister Dawson re-
moved the tension by conveying to
President Morales the assurance OF
this government that treaty be
tween his government and that Of
the United States would unquestion-
ably be ratified at the next session
of congress.
1t is believed there that final
agreement will be reached within a
few days whereby the proposal of
President Morales to select an Amer
ican resident as receiver of the gov
ernment will be given the sanction
of President of Roosevelt.
The question that is perplexing the
Washington administration is how far
this government can go in extending
the desired protection to the receiv-
er.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, who
represents those senators who oppose
q pfotectorate, conferred with the
president, Secretary Taft and Assist
ant Secretary of State Adee today.
The ground was carefully canvassed
and a tentative agreement reached,
It is understood that when perfected
and put into execution will be salts

Her calmness came as a surprise.
Early in the day she threatened to
create a scene by refusing to attend

the Judge would excuse her. She had
