CHICAGO, March 21.-The federal
grand jury investigation into the beef
trust is now under way. All the big
packers in this country. with their
managers and confidential men, are
summoned to tell what they know.
United States District Attorney
Solomon II. Bethea is conducting the
case for the government under the
direction of United States District
Judge Christian c. Kohlsaat.
Just what the result will be we
do not know" said Bethea. I'VE be-
lieve we will get some of the packers;
that we will find evidence upon which
all in here, and we expect them to
tell the grand jury the truth Some
of them will refuse to, undoubtedly,
but experience shows that there are
always some men who respect the
sacredness of an oath.
"Those who perjure themselves will
be shown no mercy. In other cases
1t has been demonstrated that it is
dangerous thing to swear to a false
hood
While the government officers are
guarding the results of their investi-
cations. it is known that they have
'the goods" on at least two of the
big packers. One of these is en-
tangled in the private car" line and
the other has been accused of ac-

Venus Under SUSPICION

AphrOdlte-Nenus-the 'foam born who from
the and next to the Zeus of Phdas the famous
sculpture OF antiquity, stands modesto mmodesty
Understanding at the door of the New York Metropo
tan Museum of Art, mutey begging admttance and pro
lection against the chill March winds and the jeers Of
the heartless critics that pronounce her imposture.
The directors of the institution not disposed to
accept the credentials without rigid investigation, and
numerous experts are busy at work, chiefly with their
tongues.
So the chilled Aphrodte with nothing but her hands
to cover her nakedness and only dolphin to her
feet and denied by her cold marble the refuge of
blush, stands like Phyrne before the Areophagites while
her character is Judged
Is this the Aphrodte whom the immortal Praxiteles
chiseed with sad sincerity is she Aphrode any
sculptor maye have made!
The marble is being chemically tested the lines of the
figure being measured again and again. and the
dolpmns tail is submitted to expert scrutiny.
If this be the genuine Aphrodite of Praxeles 25
tures DID, the question naturally arises how she got
from Greece a land swarming with connolsseurs and
archeoogsts and art explorers without being discovered
and claimed long ago.
1t is doubtful if there is than genuine work
OF PraXitees in all EurOpe-the Hermes and Dionysus
unearhed at Olympia Is likely then that this greatest
work of the great master would have escaped Grecian
vigilance to land suppiant outcast, nhosptabe

O, pshaw When did true greatness ever follow the
fixed lines and the ruts of probability?
Art experts have their methods of testing age but
they ought not to forget that evidence may lie openly
upon the surface as to be overlooked.
1t should be remembered that Aphrodite though god
dess woman; and woman must have been long
time turned stone before she will ask recognition of
her great age!
1t is not questioned by the most captous critics
but that this Venus represents perhaps better than any
other work of the perfect womany beauty for which
Venus is the ideal And since the world-even the art
world-needs beauty than it needs old Praxitees,
why not let his Aphrodte in her good looks and wei
her beauty to open arms as we gladly would

Katherine Leckie Tells of
the New York Triumph of
the Famous English Actor
BY Katherine Leckie.

Staff Correspondence of the News
paper Enterprise Association.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The key
note of the Hamlet of Forbes Robert
son is its simplistic humanness. 1t
is as the princely, the melancholy,
that this poetical actor is delighting
the lovers of Shakespeare in New
York this week. To be sure, there do
not seem to be many who care for
this pleasure. but those who have
been among the enthusiastic audi
ences at the Knickerbocker have been
more than well rewarded. AS re-
marked, these are small, but what
they lack in numbers they more than
make up in long, loud and ardent
plaudits, and nightly this admiring
throng of men and women stand and
call for the unhappy prince, insisting
upon response, even after the fall of
the asbestos curtain.
Nature has done much for Mr.. Rob-
ertson in aiding him to play Hamlet.
He looks the unhappy prince. No
Hamlet should be rotund to merri-
menC, ana tnat is what the American
stage has seen, unfortunately, too
often. Forbes Robertson's sensitive,
delicate face and his leanness of fig
ure bespeak the sorrow of Hamlet
before his wondrous service. If
naught else did, this beautiful pos
session would give him the right to
voice the unhappy prince Of Denmark.
and in no place is its charm greater
than where he pleads with his mother
to assume a virtue if she has it not.
You feel the smothered love he has
for the queen, but which his con-
science will not permit him to eX-
press. The real love for Ophelia is
there, and this too he stamps out at
thought of the reckoning ghost. Love,
like his humor, is denied him.
Forbes Robertson makes one feel
the truth in Hamlets mission, and
yet, ever with this, much of the har-
rowing detail is concealed in defer
ence to humanity.
Mr.. Robertson has staged Hamlet
with great care. The indoor scenes
are regal and yet one is not oppressed

schild & Sulzberger. These men con-
troll the packing business of the
world. They secured a hold on the
railways some way, just how is to
be brought out later and not only
demanded, but secured rebates.
The packers defied public opinion
openly, until last May. Then some
allied that a nasty feeling was in
flaming the people against them. So
they organized a press bureau. The
papers roasted them for this, so they
abolished it,
Meanwhile the Independent pack
ers were busy demanding investiga-
lions. The department of justice at
Washington did not act until or
dered to by President Roosevelt.
Dist. Atty. Bethea realized, a year
ago that an investigation was in
evitable, and he has been collecting
evidence ever since. Recently, he has
had under his direction a score of
secret service men many of whom
were scattered, as employees, through
the offices of the big packers.
Almost as important packing GEN.
ter as Chicago is Kansas City. There
are dozen big plants there, and
the managers of them have been sub
penaed. They may be able to tell
of the control exercised over the
stock yards by the packers and how

stock yards at the expense of the

Jack ONeill manager of Two Feathers and a crack
wrestler himself has cut out piece of work for omor

to stall the two principals in the main event.

|B. G..
The work between Two Feathers and Mcmillan is
ang such interest that already the betting-at
moneys equalling almost the amount put up good
fight.
The extra interest taken in the match has caused
siderable speculation to who will get the next go. 1t
has been conceded for month past that Ole Marsh will
wreste the winner of tomorrow nights contest and
Of the betting has taken the form Of gambling who
Marsh will meet.
Most of the sports here anxious to the Indian
and Marsh go because of the fierce alterations which
have continued during the past nine ten months be-
tween Marsh and Two Feathers During that space of
time thousands of dollars have been posted and bet in
ink and Marsh and ONe have exhausted several reams
paper which they have stabbed their pungent ideas
of the worthessness of each other.
Because of this match between Marsh and the Indian
would attract general interest than match between
Mcmillan and Marsh, although Marsh has quite follow
ing here due to the belief that the rolling fall called
on him too quick by the referee.
Barney Mullin and Indian Joe Gregg have at last
found home. Instead of fighting at Occur d'Alene, in
Spokane they will fight Friday night at Ritzville. Ar
engagements for the match to be pulled off there
Icluded yesterday afternoon.
Quite number of sports anxious to the go will go
Ito Ritzville Friday morning and of money will be
taken down there to bet through the different admirers
of the
Asa matter of fact that fight Friday night will be
worth going the distance to Aside from the bitter
feeling between the two men, each has extra induce
ment in the shape Of another match Immediately after
that 60
Mun is still ready to put up $500 that he can whip
Jerry Mccarthy and it is generally conceded that if he
whips the Indian he will be given go with the boy who
fell just five rounds short Of the weller championship
On the other hand Gregg has extra inducement to
win in the shape of offer from the S. A. A. c. to fight

Murray Carson, who is known to
Americans for plays that he has given
them, is here himself for the first
time. On this occasion he appears
as an actor as well as playwright
This Englishman was first made
known to this country in that charm
ing play, Rosemary" that John
Drew did a score of years ago, and
the play that he is now doing at the
Princess is his own.
This is The Trifler." who is Count
Friedel, a diplomat in one of those
imaginary countries which modern
playwrights are so fond of giving us
The story is about an affair he has
with a feminine spy, who has been
engaged to break up the marriage of
the queen and her consort. This
mythical country is supposed to be
somewhere on the Rhine, and Queen
Elsa has made a marriage without
the approval of her royal kin. In
trying to straighten out the marital
woes of the queen and her cOnSOrt,
the trifler meets Baroness Won Bam-
bergand and falls in love with her
and she with him.
Not only is the play cleverly writ
ten, but the intrigue gives an ex-
cellent opportunity for some brilliant
dialog. Miss Esme Beringer, who
has a good reputation in London, is
the spy and plays the part with de-
cided skill. Lottie Alter is the queen
and Murray Carson. of course, Is the
triher.
