Commissioner Of Corporation
Garfield Said to Have Evil
dence Against Beef Trust
INJUNCTION is VIOLATED
1t is Claimed That the Big Packers
Have Not Abided by the Decision OF
the Supreme Court in the Beef Trust
cases-Day to Conduct the Case
Additional News

Washington, Feb. IA. The report
of Commissioner OF Corporations Gar
field into the operations of the beef
combine. will be submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt next week, and by him
transmitted to congress.
1t is stated on good authority that
evidence has been discovered that the
so-called trust has violated the Sher-
ton returned against it by Judge
Grosscup, sitting in the federal court
at Chicago. Undoubtedly these facts
in regard to the alleged evasion of
the investigation will be brought to
the attention Of the attorney general,
and it is believed also that the adj
ADMINISTRATION will use the evidence of
the violations of law collected by Com
missioner Garfield as the basis for a
prosecution of the combine in the
courts.
Commissioner Garfield, the admins
tration trust buster. has proceeded
with great deliberation in making the
investigation authorized by the house
of representatives. He has been en-
gagged in the work nearly a year. and
had it not been for the Impotence
manifested by the members of the
house over his representation there
is every reason to believe the inquiry
might have extended far into the COM
ing summer.
Assurances have been given by the
commissioner that there VIII be no
further delay and his report will be in
the hands of the president in time to
be submitted to congress before the
adjournment March 4. The report, said
to the packing industry which will
greatly surprise the public. 1t is un
derstood that the violations of the an
ti-trust law discovered by Mr.. Car
fields agents. deal with the transact
tions of packers both before the grant
ing of the federal restraining order
and also subsequently.
Evidence collected by Commissioner
Garfield is understood to establish
these facts.
The prices of fresh meats have been
arbitrarily fixed by the big packers
at a meeting secretly held, and that
the prices so fixed shall remain in
force until changed by the packers;
that the packers have established
trade "black list" against any dealer
of the combine as to credits and the
manner of handling meats; and they
regulate and control the price of cat
tie on the hoof. Other facts throwing
more light on the operations of the
combine are said to be included in the
report.
If the administration, on the facts
set forth in the report, decides to pros
ecute the beef trust, as is expected, AS
sistant Attorney General William A.
Day will probably have charge of the
governments case in the courts. Mr..
Day conducted the case against four
teen railroads, in which it was shown
the packers were favored by rebates
He also had charge of the case for
the government resulting in the Gross.
cup injunction, which recently was
upheld by the United States supreme
court.

CATTLE FAIRLY ACTIVE
Many Orders Were Not Filled
Monday and Buyers Were
Eager Today
BUTCHER STOCK is HIGHER
Small Proportion of Fat Heavy Kinds
Offered Forces Buyers to Take Less
Attractive Grades - Hogs We're
Strong at Mondays Advance of
Ten Cents-Sheep In Demand.
BUTCHER STOCK is HIGHER

Chicago. Feb. 14-There was fair
liz active Tuesday market for cattle,
Yesterdays meager supply leaving
many buying orders untitled, but sales
were not always made 1T Monday S
advances of 15M25. There are dis
appointingly small offerings of fat
heavy this week and buyers are forced
in most cases to fall back on less at
tractive consignments. Butcher stock
is largely 1oM15 higher, with cows
and heifers in active request. The
stockers and feeder trade is on a linn
tied scale, and storms, cold, the
weather having checked demand.
The advance in values Monday WAS
brought about by conditions which
We're entirely unforeseen, and a reac-
ton is believed highly probable as
soon as the weather will permit nor
NAL shipping operations. Country
owners should not become too enthus-
iastic over this strength in trade and
consider that demand is no larger but
the supply today greatly under re-
ly to this cause.
Hogs.
Altho there were 21,O00 fresh arriv-
ais and 5000 carried over last night,
there was still IL light Tuesday sup
ply, and prices We're strong at Mon
days 10-cent advance. Buying was
active with bulk of sales at 400 q
sos.
Receipts of hogs are extremely
light, due, no doubt, to the excessively
cold weather Average weight of hogs
last week 900 lbs, against 207 the pre-
vious week and 207 the corresponding
week a year ago. Quality of the hogs
was fairly good. but there was a
scarcity of heavy weights Shippers
were deferred somewhat from operat-
ing, owing to the fear of starting hogs
eastward with such low temperature.
The market opened Monday with pric-
es on speculative and butcher account
generally 10 cents higher. Packers
We're quite unwilling to follow so sharp
an advance, but the run was so eN-
ceedingly light that in order to do any
business at all. all hands had to pay
an advance of 5010c on the business
done early.
Sheep.
Demand was good, and prices strong.
Lambs were wanted at s6.00@S.O0.
The week opened with values any
where from 15@25c higher. The only
band of made to- order lambs available
arrived Sunday, and was sold to Pfael-'
ger at Il price to be determined by the
top today. In trade opinion they
contract, the purchase-9O head, av
would have made sS.15, but for this
eraging IS lbs-being the only stuff of
the kind available. An eight car load
band of western lambs made IS. the
top price of the season for westerns.
Choice stuff was scarce. The run es-
tmated at $1,000 early did not look
like more than 10000 at noon

DEM KANSAS BOYCOTT.
Standards Work at chanute All Stop
ped, Nevertheless.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. IA statemel
was made yesterday by John O'Briell,
superintendent of the Oil refinery 1T
Neodesha, operated by the Prairie Oil
and Gas Company (the Standard Gil
Company, that the Standard Oil Conl-
pony has not boycotted the Kansas
producers. This does not seem to be
borne out bN the situation yesterday
in the field Every we'll is idle in the
Chanute district, and the plants of the
Standard Oil Company there, including
the pumping station, are closed down.
Not a barrel of oil was purchased Sum
day or yesterday.
Speaker Stubbs. of the state legisla-
ture. says he has been misunderstood
in regard to his attitude on the state
refinery kill.
This is battle to the death, he
said yesterday, land some such thing
as has been done by the Stands rd
might have been expected. That was
very silly way to try to influence a
legislature, and especially Legislature
made up of Kansas men. believe that
the men who are members of the leg
islature will keep their heads and do
only what is best for the state

BURIED IN WORK BASKET.
Wealthy Widows Wish Fulfilled
Feared Burial Alive.

New York, Feb. 14.-In accordance
with clause in the will of Mrs. Con-
stance Miller, an aged and wealthy
widow of New Rochelle. her ashes
were deposited in a work basket She
had used for years and buried yester-
day by a New Rochelle undertaken in
a grave beside the grave of her hus-
band John Bentz Miller. The strange
burial took place in Woodlawn ceme-
terry Mrs. Miller always had pre-
monition that she might be buried
alive, and, to prevent that, she left a
stipulation in her will that her body
be taken to Fresh Pond and cremat-
ed and that the ashes then be placed
in her fancy work basket. The under
taker placed the ashes in glass jar,
which was tied in the basket and then
buried. Mrs. Miller lived in Coligny
avenue, New Rochelle, and died last
week from Bright's disease.

STOVE CLOSES A SCHOOL.
Heater Throws Out So Much suIphu,
Children Are Forced to Quit.

Towanda, Pa. Feb. IA. - There is
an odd deadlock in the Catawissa
township school board and as a result
the Tank school, in that township, is
closed.
A large stove used for heating the
school building threw out so much sui
phur that it was impossible to hold
school. Complaint was made to the
directors, and they met to consider the
matter.
The board consists of six members.
Three of them determined that all
that was required was a new CRATE,
while the other three declared that
nothing short of new stove would
obviate the trouble.
The board deadlocked on the ques-
ton and the school is closed, and the
taxpayers are preparing to go into
court on a proceeding to compel the
board either to come to an agreement
or be. ousted from office.
