Baron Roman Romanovitch Rosen,
the new Russian ambassador to the
United States. was until the outbreak of
the present war the representative of
the Gar at the court of the Mikado, and
had advised his government of the prep
a~rations being made by Japan, but no
attention was paid to his ~counsels. Pre-
viously he had served as charge d'affaires
at the Japanese capital, and was consul
general Mt New York from 1882 to 1894.
Baron Rosen speaks several languages
and is an accomplished scholar and mu-
stefan. He is Il state councillor, "A cham
berlain of the imperial court, and a
knight of three orders-St. Vladimir, st.
Ann and st. Stanislaus. NJ. Muravieff,
who was born in 1850, is descended from
one of the oldest families of Russia.
Since 14SS, when the Muravieffs came
into the landed estates in the province
Of Novgorod which they still hold, they
have figured on nearly every page of
Russian history. n. v. Muravieff was
years ago a secretary of state at st.
Petersburg, and in 1894 was appointed
president of the criminal section of the
senate. which is the highest court III
Russia. He became minister of justice
in 1895. and since then has reformed the
judicial systems of Siberia and other
sections of the empire. With his broth
err. the late Count Murayieff, minister
of foreign affairs, he was largely instru-
mental in the building of the Trans-Sibe-
rian railroad and the development of the
resources of Siberia. He is now Russian
ambassador to Italy. Jutaro Komura for
merly was Japanese minister to the Unit
ed States. being succeeded by Minister
Takahira in 1900, and himself being sent
to st. Petersburg. He was graduated
from the Harvard law school in 1873,
and spent several years in this country
fitting himself for an official career. AS
secretary of legation at Pekin, just be-
fore the breaking out of the war be-
tween China and Japan, as civil governor
of the captured province of Antung, fol-
lowing the war, and as minister TO 40
rea. he established a record which made
him a potent factor in the politics of the
Flowcry Kingdom. Previous to being
sent to Washington he was vice minister
of foreign affairs. Kogoro Takahira,
Japanese minister to the United States,
is considered one of Japan's most dis
tinguished and experienced diplomats. He
entered upon his duties ut Washington in
1900. but previously had been an attache
of the legation and consul general at
New York. He also has served his coun-
try as minister to Italy, ambassador to
Vienna and The Hague, and before as
Stunning his present position he was vice
minister of foreign affairs at Toxic. Mr..
Takahira is not of the titled class. but
has risen from the ranks. He entered the

INDICTS NEAT MEN.
GRAND JURY HOLDS CORPORA.
TIONS AND INDIVIDUALS.
Federal Inquisitorial Body Finds True
Bills for Violations of Antitrust Law
and for Conspiracy-Labor Disturbers
Also ira the Tolls.

Five large packing house corpora
tons and twenty-one officials and en-
ployes Of various meat producing in
dustries have been indicted by the
special federal grand jury in Chicago,
which for over three months has been
investigating the packing business.
The indictments were returned to
Judge s. H. Bethea in the United
States District Court Saturday after
noon, and the jury was discharged.
The five corporations and seventeen
of their officials, as individuals, are
charged with conspiring in a combina-
ton in restraint of trade and com
merce, and four men connected with
the traffic department of another pack
ing firm are charged with conspiring
to accept rebates from various railroad
companies.
The two indictments We're voted I'M
der the Sherman antitrust law and
the interstate commerce laws, and car
~, on conviction, penalties of one
years Imprisonment and fines ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000 for specific of
lenses. Imprisonment must be in a
county Jail, as the offense of violating
either of the laws is accounted a mis-
demeanor.
The action of the grand jury brought
no surprise TO the packers. 1t Aad
been anticipated for weeks by the
heads of the concerns and their legal
counsel. They had regarded indict-
ment as inevitable, the feeling being
that no other result would be reached
because of public hostility.
Under the Sherman law the corpor-
atoms, if convicted of violation of the
antitrust act, will be punished by n
fine not to exceed $1,000. The indi-
viduals named in the indictments
charging conspiracy in restraint of
trade, however, may be punished upon
conviction with a fine not to exceed
$4,000 or Imprisonment in jail not to
exceed n year or both in the discre-
ton of the court. The charges are
not felonies and do not carry with
them as ~punishments p~entientiary SEN
fences.
Arrangements had been made with
q surety company TO furnish bonds for
each defendant, and within thirty min
utes after the jury had been dis
charged the first of the bonds was
filed with the clerk of the District
Court, A. c. Buell.. The amount of the
bond In each defendants case was fix.
ed at $1,000.

A gigantic conspiracy was discovered.

passing into the grasp of the conspira-
tors. At that time they had secured pat

fled for ten times more.
The frauds. ii was early ascertained,
were being perpetrated chiefly in Cali
fornia and Oregon. The plan of action
was the same throughout. In California
and Oregon the States held large tracts
of school land within the areas selected
for these timber reserves. The federal
reserves overlapped the State properties.
1t was with these State school lands tnat
the conspirators juggled. In California
the law forbids one person to purchase
more than GAO acres Of this school land,
and in Oregon the limit is the same.
This small maximum, however, was no
bar to the conspirators. Dummies were
freely employed. Titles of tracts of land
were issued to bootblacks, servants, la
borers. and any one who could be made
use of. If the list ran out mythical per-
sOnalities were created and lands were
placed in their names.

That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
INT had 1t bad, all ha acquaintances
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her cure
as follows:
Il was an invalid for most five years
caused by Inlammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year l could not do as much as a
baby could do; then l rallied a little bit
and then a relapse. Then a year ago
the govt set in my hands and feet. I
suffered untold agony and in August
1903, when my husband died, l could
not ride TO the grave.
Il only took two boxes of Dodd's
kidney Pills and In two weeks / could
wait on myself and saw my own wood
l dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured me-

In the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys In shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

and Lincoln saw such promise in him
that he made him one of his secretaries
and took him to Washington. He did
not disappoint Lincoln, but became most
useful to him in the White House.
At the close of the Lincoln .administra-
ton John Hay was sent to Paris as Sec
rotary of the American legation, and
there he began his diplomatic career.
Hay had a fine opportunity to study the
court of the last Napoleon and the gay
Partisan world before the overthrow of
the empire. He was transferred to 9TH
er European legations and in turn served
as secretary in Vienna and Madrid,
where he became acquainted with the
most brilliant courts of Europe.
Wins Fame in Literature.
Returning to America in 1870, Mr..
Hay became an editorial writer for the
New York Tribune. Horace Greeley re-
garded him as one of the most brilliant
men on the Tribune staff. During that
time he wrote Little Brooches" and his
other famous verses.
He married a woman of wealth and
built a magnificent house in Washington,
which became one of the social centers
OF the national capital, where gathered
the literary men and women, the men
OF science and the diplomatic representa-
tives. He was Assistant Secretary of
State in the Hayes administration.
From 1876 to 1900 he took an active
part in presidential campaigns. When
Mr.. Mckinley was elected President he
sent Mr.. Hay as ambassador to Eu-
gland. In September, 1898, he was re-
called to become Secretary of State in
place of Judge Day.
Although Mr.. Hay secured the abroga-
ton of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
brought about the reference of the most
far-reaching question in the recent Ven
ezuela dispute-priority in payment for
a belligerant claimant-to the interna-
tional court of The Hague and arranged
for the peaceable adjustment of the
Alaska boundary question, he is known
throughout the world principally for the
breadth and foresight of his policy in
Asia.
When it became plain that Germany,
Russia and other great powers were pur-
suing a provocative policy, aimed at the
destruction and division of the Chinese
empire. Mr.. Hay inaugurated his now
historic movement for the open door, in
China by asking France, Russia, Ger
many. England, Italy and Japan to give
formal assurance that each nation would
agree to the open door.
That was the first step toward the
dominance of the moral influence of
America in Asia. When the legations
were besieged in Pekin and the chancel-
leries of Europe demanded the destruc-
ton of the reigning Chinese dynasty it
was Mr.. Hay alone who insisted that the
legations were safe and that the United
States at least was no. ut war with the
Chinese government.
And when the Chinese empire lay pros
trate at the feet of the great powers it
was Mr.. Hay who persuaded Europe to
moderate its demands for Indemnity and
restore authority to the Chinese gov
eminent.

BURIAL OF JOHN HAY.
President and Vice President Go to
Grave of Dead Secretary.

At almost exactly noon Wednesday the
body of John Hay was laid to rest in
Lakeview cemetery, Cleveland. Around
tire open grave at the last momen stood
with bowed heads the President and Vice
President of the United States. members
and eX-members of the present cabinet
and men who had in former years served
with the dead Secretary in the official
family of President Mckinley. There
were many others who willingly would
have paid q tribute of honor and respect
to Mr.. Hay, but it was the wish of his
family that the funeral should be con-
Quoted for John Hay-the man they
knew and loved in private life, and not
for the brilliant and f~oreeful premier
whose name is honored wherever clean
and successful craftsmanship is esteem
ed among men.
The assemblage at his funeral and
around his grave was therefore small.
The visible honors accorded him in death
week in a ratio directly inverse to those
freely given him in life, and perhaps no
greater testimony to the worth of the
man could have been given than the
quiet manner in which his countrymen,
who appreciated his character and
achievements, stood aside at his family's
wish to take hostage of the future for
the endurance of his fame.
The events of the day commenced with
the arrival oe President Roosevelt's train
at 9 a. m. and closed with its departure
at IL D. m. The funeral itself was held
between II and Il o'clock, the interment
being at noon.
A memorial service in tribute to the
late Secretary of State John Hay was
held at the Church Of the Covenant in
Washington at the same hour the funeral
services were being conducted at Cleve-
land. Practically all Of official Wash
ington was present.
