Chicago, April 14.-Four men. three
of whom are employees Of the Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger Co, and the other
an attorney for that corporation, were
indicted yesterday afternoon by the
grand jury investigating the beef
trust.
1t is charged that they INSTRUCTED
and impeded Deputy Marshal Bach IN
mis- efforts to serve subpoena upon
Edwin B. Fish, a clerk employed by
the company, who recently returned
from Canada. The men indicted are;
Joseph Weissenbach, attorney.
B. S. Cusey, traffic manager.
George d. Hopkins, auditor.
Leo S. Josh, employed in the pro-
vision department of the concern.
The indictments allege that the sub
poena was issued for Fish March 3,
that it was given Deputy Bach for ser
vice, that the four men had arranged
for the departure of Fish from this
country to Canada and assisted him in
leaving the jurisdiction OF the court.
Attorney Weissenbach. who was for
several wears an assistant TO Governor
Deneen, when the latter was state S
attorney in Chicago, declares that II
was at his instance that Fish returned
from Canada and agreed TO go before
the grand jury. This is not decided by
the government officials. The men
were taken into custody and released
in bonds of 81 900 in each case.
Beef Prices Go Up.
The prices of beef have advanced in
every important market OF the United
States The consumer is paying the
advanced Price, which TO him repre-
SCENTS sexera. cents per pound owe"
what he paij up TO ten days ago.
Swift & Co. Armour. and Nelson Nor
ris state that no beef has been sup
piled to any other market OF the nOun-
try during the last month and half
except al "a loss. This, ii is declared,
has been particularly due to the fact
that breeders of stock and handlers of
range cattle have been holding back
on the supply until the grass of the
ranges becomes nourishing. Swift &
Co. speaking for the packing inEeT-
ests, yesterday afternoon issued the
following statement.
During the last six weeks the pro
ducers OF beef cattle have been re
ceiving about 81 advance over the past
prizes for choice cattle. This simply
means tfrat the advance TO the con
sumner in prices would be about 81 on
the one-lraIf of choice cattle that can
be used for food purposes. The range
cattle producer is the master of the
situation

CHINESE SOCIAL FORMS.
Extremely Ceremonious Conduct Is
Observed Between Guest
and Host

A recent book on Chinese customs
thus describes the social forms OBJ
served in greeting guests: 1.-THE host
meets the principal guest at the door
and greets him by cordially shaking
hands with himself and bonding low.
The obeisance is frequently carried to
the length Of knocking the head on the
floor. The guest watches the host out
of the cornal Of one eye, and initiates
his every motion with the precision Of
drill. Next he makes believe to "sit
down in the lowest room'--the chair
on his own left nearest the door
against which humility the host en-
phatically protests, motjoning with
Joined hands toward the dais. The
feint is repeated and frustrated at each
successive chair until the ultimate
destination (well understood from the
outset by both parties)--namely, the
left Of the tea tablets reached. Each
member of the hosts train or staff
selects, in the order Of Importance, an
individual from the guests following
and makes him the object of identical
courtesies until he is safely piioted to
his proper place. When the whole
party mas at length been brough: into
position the host motions the guest to
be seated and the real difficulty begins.
Host and guest appear to apprehend
sudden death if one sits down before
the other After many polite feints
the high contracting parties APOLOGIZE
cally subside into their seats at the
same moment, and the other members
Of the party follow their example.

ten minutes

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
It Ia Unconstitutionel and Unneces-
sary to Condscate the Property
Of the Railways.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
MERGE Commission Prouty said IN dis.
cussing the proposition to give 10 tna'
Commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. l have never advocated any law
and I am not now in favor OF any
law. which would put the rate making
power into the hands Of any COM
mission or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it is done in some coun-
tries, am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. It is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest OF its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when rate was fixed, If that rate was
an unreasonable rate, 1t deprives the
railroad company Of its property pro
tanto. It is not necessary that you
should confscate the property Of q
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When
you put in rate that Is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company Of its rights, Of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that
~. I have looked at these cases
. great many times, and I can only
come to the conclusion that railroad
company is entitled to charge fair
and reasonable rate, and if any order
OF commission, il any statute of a
state legislature, takes away that rate,
the fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company

Another Racial Theory

While there are no black races in.
d1genous outside of the tropics, the
leading American, English, French
and Italian ethnologists boldly teach
that the white races of the world are
simply modified negroes and that the
Anglo-Saxon and other white races
are of an African origin, having
crossed over into Europe during the
neolithic age. Their habits, character
Of food, environments, attitude of their
homes, climate, occupation, their
greater distance from the rays of the
tropical sun, are some of the ethnolog-
ical factors which are believed to have
bleached their skins and made them
white.

JAPAN'S SOBER SOLDIERS.
Tkeir Diet and General Habits Are
the Essence Of Simplicity and
Modesty.

Foreign attaches with Kurokii
army suffered a good deal because OF
the food supplied them by the Jap
anese government. A correspondent
writes: Il shall never forget the con-
tempt shown by certain Japanese Of
ficer for meal was eating. We had
just entered Antung and l had estab-
lished myself in the courtyard of q
temple. I made ready the first good
meal l had had for some days. My
number one boy baked some bread
In frying pan, we opened tin OF
meat and tin of butter, then we
made some tea-milkless and sugar
less-and we were happy. A Japanese
officer, a friend of my own, looked in
on me and invited him to share my
meal. How can you take all that
trouble over food?' he asked, wonder
ingly. Come and look at my meal
He took me to a room near by and
showed me the dish of rice, the por-
ton OF seaweed and the little kettle
Of boiling water for tea which his
servant had prepared. He did not
understand that what rice was to him
bread was to me-"
Avoidance Of luxury is a point OF
honor among these fighters. "All
know the story about Gen. Nogi," the
same writer continues, "who when
during the China war he was pre-
sented with a costly cloak sold it for
the benefit of the sick, declaring that
he had one cloak already and there
were many soldiers without any. An
officer would consider himself dis
.graced if he took into the field elab-
crate food or overabundant clothing.
Japanese soldiers are the cleanest-
living and the most sober Of any
have known. They have no camp fol-
lowers, they take very little drink,
their diet is simplicity itself; their
one luxury is the incessant smoking
Of cheap cigarettes
