Garfield Fishes in Other Waters

WASHINGTON, April 5-Commis-
sloner James G. Garfield of the bureau
of corporations, returned today from a
fishing trip on the gulf of Mexico. In
his absence the preliminary work of
the inquiry into the production and
marketing of oil which he Instituted
before he left Washington has SO prog
ressed that he now is enabled to begin
his personal work on it. He will leave
tomorrow for Kansas, going directly to
Topeka, where he will begin his in
quiry. Mr.. Garfield said today that he
proposes to make 1t as thorough and
comprehensive as possible.
He has not completed his report on
the beef inquiry, although the work
of the commission is well in hand. At
least four chapters of the report deal
ing with transportation problems, retail
prices, evidences of combination and
the cattle ranges remain to be COM
pleted. They will contain some of the
most important information developed
by the inquiry. These chapters will
not be made public until the grand
jury now in session in Chicago shall
have concluded its investigation of the
packing concerns.
1t is an open secret that most of the
information gathered by Commissioners
Garfield will be used in the inquiry now
being made by the Chicago grand Jury.
