WHEN DONE WITH BEEF

CHICAGO, March 2S.-A twofold OBJ
jeet lies behind the Governments grand
jury investigation of the methods of
the alleged Beef trust, according to
eoeral officer who has spent several
months working upon the case.
1t is declared that after the Govern
ment has finished its inquiry into the
packing industry it intends to go hot
foot after railroads that have had agree
ments with the Beef trust in defiance of
interstate commerce laws.
Will Indict Packers.
On the strength Of the testimony now
Being adGuced before the grand jury, it
is said. the Government viii endeavor to
lndlct packers and their representatives
found TO have been guilty of violating
the Sherman antitrust law and will
hold the evidence thus obtained for the
purpose of prosecuting officers of the
freight and transportation departments
or railroads who have been guilty of al
lowing rebates to the packers in viola
tion of interstate commerce regulations.
Some of the witnesses who have al
ready appeared before the grand jury
have been heard to declare that if any
crooked work has been going on in the
beef business the railroad men are Just
a. much responsible as are the packers
Railroads Next.
To this declaration a Federal officer
has replied:
Never mind the railroads; we will
get after them in due time This is
only the beginning of this investigation
The end is Il good way off.
IF there had been nothing wrong
with picking methods there would never
have arisen any necessity for the
Grosscup injunction. The refrigerator
Car system is a part oft he packing in
dustry that has, perhaps more to do
with the railroad than any other fea-
ture of the business
Government Not Blind.
''The Government is not blind to the
fact that merchants all over the United
States have condemned the exorbitant
rates and icing charges maintained ar
bitrarily by both the railroads and the
packers.
The hint has been thrown out that
the Government is not sincere in it's
efforts TO prosecute the wrongdoers. In
fact il has been publicly stated that
this inquisition will end in a white
wash. That is a rather serious imputa-
tion on the motives of the Attorney Gen
eral, considering all the trouble and
heavy expense the Government already
has undergone to get at the bottom of
this matter.

from Hardin, in order to prevent the cap
tire OF Tsitsikar by the japanese and
the cutting Of the Russian line of sup

If General Lilevitch retires to the west
OF Tsitsikar he must retreat into Sibe-
ria, leaving the Russians without an

tok garrison

That the japanese propose to invest
this place shortly is evident from the

Ninguta- If the Japanese can reach
that point in the next few days they
will be able to prevent the sending of
re-enforcements to Vladivostok, as well
as to stop the stocking of tho place
with supplies to withstand long siege
Some Russian military experts are in
clined to believe that General Linevitch
has relied too E.uch on making prepara-
tions to resist the japanese at the Sum
ss.ri river, without taking into his CAL
Culati that the forced march across
country would be undertaken. and SO
has given the japanese the chance to

tages for resistance of any point he
could have selected

RUSSIANS I'M GRAVE DANGER.

The danger of such movements to the
Russians Is fully understood here. Should
the japanese be able to reach Tsitsikar,
General Ltnevitchs communications
would be cut He would find d Japanese
army barring his retreat back to Siberia.
II the japanese can reach Nfnguta to
the northeast they would be in a posi-
ton to move on Vladivostok and invest
the place without serious opposition
from the Russians
The fear of the war Offices that the
movements are actually being carried
out by the japanese is increased by late
messages received from General Line
witch. In his official dispatches last
night the commander-in-chief reported
that Russia accommodating partic IS
had explored the country for thirty-fivs
miles south OF the Russian front with
out locating any Japanese soldiers
Ominous Silence.
II has been nearly week since any
great activity ON the part of the Japa-
nese army directly in the rear of the re-
treating Russians has been reported.
The. construction at first put upon this
inactiyitv was that Field Marshal Oya-
ma was giving his troops a needed rest
before pushing on TO attack General
Linevitch in the position the Russian
general hoped to take up on the sun
gari river In view of the recent dis
patches the military experts fear that
the failure of the Japa nese to pursue the
Russians directly may be very signiti-
cant
Have Long Start.
If the turning movements have been
pushed for week while the Russians
were retiring along the railroad toward
the Sungari. it is pointed out that the
Japanese have had time to penetrate for
a considerable distance toward their two
objective points. The example given by
General Nogi's army of what a Japanese
force can do in the way OF forced march
ing is recalled
II the Japanese have had this time to
push their advance. as the Chinese re-
ports say they have been doing steadily,
II will be almost impossible for General
Linevitch to get his army to Tsitsikar
before the Japanese
Doom of Linevitch.
Failure to do this might entail the
loss OF the entire Russian army. With
his line of supplies cut General Line
witch could not resist the japanese for
any length of time The country would
not support the army long and the Rus
sian commander would be forced to
either surrender or attempt to cut his
way through the Japanese army to re-
treat into Russian territory

the country about Makden and forced
their retirement toward Harbin. the
Japanese seem willing TO abandon that
