forenoon as he was lifting with his
cant hook on large log which need
ed to be turned on the saw carriage
The hook slipped and let him over In
such a way that In coming down the
weight of his body broke the leg. A
messenger was Immediately sent to
the village for help. Julian Taft
rugged up an express wagon to serve
as an ambulance and Mr.. Batchelder
carried Miss Park to the scene OF the
accident and In "a comparatively short

COMMISSIONER GARFIELD'S RE-
PORT NOT YET COMPLETED.
It is Expected That He Will Have the
Information He Desires
Next Week.

Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of
report of the investigation of the beef
trust, Five important chapters of the re-
port practically have been finished. but
the detailed figures for the remainder
have not been obtained. Inspectors of the
bureau now are working on this part of
the report, and it is expected that the in
formation will be in the hands of Com
missioner Garfield next week.
1t Is not certain whether that part of
the report which has been completed will
be submitted by the President to Con-
gress at the present session. There are
tanned should be made public at this
time, but 1t is possible that some of it
may be sent to Congress before adjourn
ment.
Under the law it is discretionary with
the President whether the reports submit
ted to him by the commissioner of corpora
tons shall be made public in their en-
tirety.
In directing that the operations of the
beef trust be investigated by a special
federal grand jury, Attorney General Moody
has acted upon facts developed by the in
veStigation conducted by Commissioner Gar
field. This information was presented to
the Department Of Justice through the
President.
1t is not desired by officials Of the gov
eminent to publish at this time the con-
crete results of the inquiry. because, by
SO doing, the hand of the government in
any prosecution of the operators in the
trust, In measure at least, would be dis
closed.
Commissioner Garfield and a corps of
clerks in his bureau were at work today on
the report, notwithstanding the fact that
the department is closed. Every effort is
being made to expedite this work, not only
in order to lay the report before the Presi-
dent, but also to leave the way clear for
