escorted by Robert w. Goelet, and it
is intimated that their arrival here
about ten days hence will be followed

Goelet has for the past year been very
attentive to Miss Gladys, and her pres
ence and that of her mother on board
the Goelet yacht Nahma, for the last
three weeks. especially at Kiel during
the imperial regatta week, has quite
naturally led to a renewal of the ru-
mors of their engagement.
AS Mrs. Robert Goelet is particularly
fond of Gladys and Robert Goelet is
great favorite of Mrs. Vanderbilt,
the match would at any rate have the
good will of the respective widowed
mothers, and it has not escaped atten-
ton that Mrs. Robert Goelet's villa at
Newport, and the Vanderbilt villa, The
Breakers, are being prepared for early
occupancy by their owners.

THE BIG PACKERS
ARE THREATENED
Some New Developments in
Beef Trust InveSti-
cation.
CONSPIRACIES ARE ALLEGED
To Tamper With Witnesses Sum-
moned BY Grand Jury - Proceed
ings Under Conspiracy Statute May
Be Taken Within a Few Days.

Chicago, March 31.-Conspiracy in
dictments are threatened against
heads of big meat packing concerns
unless alleged tampering with wit
nesses who have been summoned to
testify before the federal grand jury
is discontinued at once. With two wit
nesses on the stand yesterday who, it
is asserted, admitted that they had
been approached with a suggestion
that their testimony be mild, the jury,
it is declared, is getting ready to take
drastic action.
I'VE wish no interference with wit
nesses," said Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Pagin, "even if we have to re-
sort to proceedings under the con-
spiracy statute to do So"
Belief was general tonight that Mr..
Pagin has already laid out plans OF
new indictments.
Fifteen witnesses were heard yes
terday, three women being among
those who testified. The women were
said to be stenographers, employed
by the National Packing company.
One of the witnesses before the grand
jury was Charles E. Mead of Boston,
formerly connected with Swift & Co.'S
car lines. Mr.. Mead said that he had
not been in that business for three
years and was able to testify only
concerning the methods in use then
in carrying on the business. The wit
ness said that since resigning his posi-
ton Swift & Co. had disposed of their
interests in the car line business. L..
S. Curtis of T. E. Baker 6 Co. of Bos-
ton, and Frank Dimpom Of Omaha,
were other witnesses before the jury.
Mr. Dimpom explained the meat bust
ness from the viewpoint of the medium
through which the consumer obtains
meat.
The fifteen secret service men who
have been frequenting the corridors in
the building where the grand jury is
in session, were not to be seen yester-
day. District Attorney Morrison was
said to have ordered that waiting wit
nesses instead of spending their time
in the vicinity of the jury room are
to be concealed in downtown hotels.
In this way the witnesses will be
more readily prevented from learning
the identity of the secret service men
watching for possible Irregularities.
Ten men arrived in the jury room
last evening and reported to the gov
eminent officials. 1t is said the ten
are employed by railroads in Michi-
gan.

Warsaw, April ga serious con-

Jewish society known as the bund,
had organized demonstration. The

Other disturbances are reported to

BILE. -
The trouble in Dzika street began
when, under the pretext of holding
memorial meeting for late Jewish
socialist leader, crowd of over
1000, mostly Jews, carrying red flags,
marched into Dzika street and was
met by mixed police and mill
tary patrol of twenty men. The
police declare the socialists fired
revolvers at them, the leader in
citing the mob to attack the pa
troll, which thereupqon fired sew
eral volleys into the crowd. Four
men were killed and forty persons
wounded. The crowd removed all but
nine of the wounded, two of whom
were women. These were taken 10
the hospitals. 1t is expected that
two more of the wounded will die.
The dead and wounded were all
Jews. The police made many ar
rests.
Conditions are causing much I'M
easiness and nervousness. Hand
printed proclamations have been
found in the streets, warning the pub
lie against walking near government
buildings and other places, as bombs
would be thrown in these quarters

attending school in defiance of the
