TO PROBE BEEF TRUST.
Government Investigation Begun at
Chicago Monday.


Government investigation of the beef

]. Otis Humphrey of Springfield admins
tered the oath to the veniremen, whose
names have been kept profound
secret for three weeks by the officials of the
United States district attorneys office. The
government Is represented by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney C. B. Morrison and Assistant
Attorney General Oliver H. Pagin
Much information bearing on specific in
stances of alleged violations of the Sher-
man antitrust law is said to be in the
hands of the federal prosecutor. The in
dependent packers, headed by Schwarzs-
child & Sulzberger, have arranged to sub
nit evidence for the government tending to
show the manner in which smaller packers
have been forced to follow the dictation of
so-called big five."
Witnesses from out of the city have been
assigned for their appearance at the grand
jury session. Several reported to the dis
trict attorneys office today. OF the 800
district court reports that all except four
have been properly served Attorney John
s Miller, appearing in the case for the
packers, denies that any witnesses for the
government have been spirited away and
are on vacations as has been reported.
Because of the failure to secure sixteen
men who are in the opinion of Judge Hum
phrey sufficiently removed in business
affairs from the packing industry, the
swearing in of the jury was delayed until
tomorrow. Only fifteen out of the twenty
three summoned were accepted for jury
service Sixteen being required to consti-
tute quorum, additional summonses were
issued. Eight witnesses have been SUBJ
poenaed to appear before the investigators
to-day.

late Senator Edward Oliver Wolcott. who
died at Monte Carlo, March /, was buried
from the Brick Church, in New York city,
today. After the death Of Senator VOL
colt his body was conveyed to Paris and
cremated. The st. Louis, which ar
rived Monday, brought back to this coun-
try the ashes. Senator Wolcott was in
poor health when he left New York in jan
nary, and. although his primary reason for
the trip was to further prosecute his eff
forts in behalf of an International none
tary conference. his friends were not sur
prised to hear of his death. Senator VOL
colt was born in Massachusetts, in 1S4S.
He attracted much attention in 1900 on ac
count of the divorce which his wife OBJ
tanned from him on the grounds of deser-
ton. Mrs Wolcott, before her marriage to
Senator Wolcott, was the widow of Lyman
X. Bass, who was well-known politician
Of Buffalo. The WoIcotts entertained
many people at their homes in Colorado
and Washington during their nine years
of married life, and their Washington
house was the scene of the most lavish
hospitality. Mr.. Wolcott did not contest
his wife's suit. and when the divorce was
granted alimony Of $500 a year was
awarded.

TRAIN WRECK INQUIRY.

Six persons were injured in the wreck but
1t is believed none is hurt fatally.
The following message giving the cause
of the accident was telegraphed from
Homestead to assist General Manager w.
NJ Hobbs Of Chicago by the division road
master:
THE wreck was caused by an unknown
person removing the spikes, bars and angle
bars and misplacing the rails. Spikes were
removed from two rails on the south side
of the track The engine and first four
cars were thrown down forty-five-foot
embankment. The engine was completely
stripped, the mail car destroyed, the buffet
car on its side and two sleepers badly dam-
aged
The seriously hurt are: A. c. Hotchfiss,
engineer hands and feet scalded; William
Smith, fireman, head and shoulders bruised.
CHICAGO, March Plat the general
offices of the Rock Island in Chicago Off.
Gals of the road expressed a doubt that
the wreck was caused by robbers. The
officials, however, said that the wrccking uf
the train was done maliciousiy aud with
generalization. 1t was found that the rails
at the point where the wreck occurred had
not only been removed. but after being
taken out of line with the rest o. the track
had been spiked down again.
The officials are at a loss to know why
any one would desire to wreck the train.
The theory that the wreck was the work
of robbers is offset by the fact that no att
tempt was made at robbery after the train
had been wrecked.
