A SPEEDY TRIAL.
Beef Trust Insists On a HEARING
Today.

Chicago. April Am important develop
ment of the beef trust investigation. Sat
urday, was an official announcement by
counsel for Armour & Cos. general SUI
perntendent. T. J. Connors. under indict
ment charged with interfering with wit
nesses. that an appeal will be made ia
Judge Kenesaw Lands, Monday. for an
immediate trial of the charges made
against him. The government officials
were served with notice to this effect,
and they declared themselves ready tn
meet the arguments Of attorneys for
Connors.
The notice states that Connors will APP
pear in court ready to plead to the in
dictment and to present a motion for an
immediate trial on the indictment. Con-
nors standing on his constitutional rights.
1t was surmised that an attempt was
being made to force the government to
show what some Of the proceedings be-
fore the grand jury were.
According to federal officers, however.
it would not be necessary if the Connors
case should go to an immediate trial for
the government to divuIge any Of the
secrets Of the grand jury room.
The testimony of J. Edward Shields,
the witness upon whose testimony Con-
nors was indicted, would be presented
before a petit jury with any substantial
ton the government may have. This
would not necessarily cause the govern
ment to give away any secrets. and 1t is
quite likely that the demand for an i'm
mediate trial for Connors will be acceed-
ed to.

WANT PROTECTION.
Deal On Ontario Control Is Still Un-
decided.

New Haven. CT, April "a state
mcnt bearing on reports about the New
York. Ontario & Western railroad. in
which the New York. New Haven &
Hartford owns n controlling interest,
was given out Saturday from the of
flee Of President Charles s Mellen of
the latter road. Tho statement is as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Mellen notes with regret the re-
cent newspaper statements regarding
negotiations Cor the transfer of the CON
troll of the New York, Ontario & West
ern railway. and his connection with
the same. Mr.. Mellcn has earnestly
tried, knowing the desires of many
identified with the interests of his own
road and the New York Central. and is
still trying to discover a way to estab-
lish such q relationship between the two
roads that it will be unnecessary for
his own road to maintain lines west of
the Hudson river.
He has repeatedly stated publicly
his opinion that it was question of
terms only whether or no the Ontario
& Western control should be retained:
he has as. repeatedly stated that that
control WIS purchased purely for pro-
tVNtiol IL satisfactory protection can
be- given there is no reason WHY that
control should not be parted with. in
his judgment. On his own responsible
~. in his own way, and with the ap-
prov2l of large interests in both prom
critics. but without any authority from
his directors in any way. he is endeav-
Oring to remove some of the difficulties
that lie in the way of negotiation for
the surrender of the Ontario & West
ern control.
should he be successful in his efforts,
which are conditions precedent to any
thing being done. there may then be.
should the directors approve. a negotia-
ton for sale of the New Haven's in
terest In the Ontario stock. which is.
and has been, a majority of both the
common and preferred shares. He can
conceive of no way in which his efforts
can be more INSTRUCTED. or the result
he is working for the more successfully
brought to naught, than by such ILL
advised and unfounded statements as
have been published.
Regarding the successful outcome of
such a negotiation. should one be had.
Mr.. Mellen can only answer so far as
his own vote and his recommendation
to his associates on the board of direc-
tors are concerned"

BlTUMiNoUs OPERATORS
Yield To The Demand of the Miners
Everything Satisfactory.

Philadelphia. April 2.-By the action OF
the soft coal operators of central Penn
svlvania. who held a meeting here, Satur-
day. the threatened strike of the bitumi-
nous miners has been averted.
The operators in secret session decided
to grant the demands of the men by re-
newing the wage scale in effect last year
the basis of which is 81 cents a ton for
pick-mining.
A meeting of the joint scale committee
of operators and miners will be held at
Altoona, next Tuesday, when the sched-
ulc will be adopted.
The United Mine Workers of America
had fixed Wednesday, April 5, as the last
day on which they would treat with their
employers, announcing that suspension
of work would take place on that date
if the operators failed to meet their de-
mands.
The joint committee could not agree
on wage scale at the recent conven :
ton held in Altoona. The miners insist
cd upon renewal of last years sched-
uln. while the operators proposed re-
ductiOn of 10 per cent. for the first half
of the year. returning to the present scale
at the end of that time.
When the convention adjourned without
adopting a scale the operators were in
formed by the miners that work would be
suspended. Saturday, unless comDro-
mise should be effected in the meantime
The operators, ncwever, showed a dispO-
sition to bring about an amcable ad-
Justment and the miners extended the
time until April 5.
nf 10 coal nj in bo
central Pennsylvania district employing
union miners were represented at the
meeting here, Saturday.
