QUEST AGAINST
THE BEEF TRUST
LOOKING AFTER THE CASTINGS
SECTION OF COMBINE.
Significant Remark by United States
District Attorney-The Side
tracking of Witnesses.

Chicago, April 19.-The federal
grand jury today devoted all of its
time to the affairs of the Etna Trad
ing company (the castings section of
the packing establishment) This
morning, for the first time since the
mysterious company went out of busi-
ness, Nicholas Wolf and Isadore Hell
| Ter of the firm of Wolf, Sayer &
Heller were brought face to face IN
the district attorneys Office. They
were for a long time before the grand
jury and it is understood they had a
great deal to say as to their rela-
tions with the Etna company and the
makeup of its staff.
The books and records of the Etna
company found in the six captured
trunks have been thoroughly classified
and are now being systematically
placed before the jury. Several i'm
portant witnesses having the advan-
tage of the castings combination be-
sides those mentioned in yesterdays
reports have sought secluded spots
and a number of subpoenaes were
prepared and rushed out this after
noon.
Henry Gregory, secretary and treas
urer of the Etna company is badly
wanted. He is said to be in Canada
Among the new subpoenaes are said
to be several for men prominently
connected with the packing industry
Jesse p. Lyman, formerly president
of the National Packing Co., was one
of these, and he spent about two hours
in the jury room this afternoon. J.
p. Moran of Jersey City; J. F..
Stoltz, of New York; Henry Alexan-
der, of Brooklyn; James A. Koozer, of
New York; and J. Il. Goldwaite, of
Boston, are among others sent for to-
night. "
Stories that influence from exalted
circles in the packing world have
been instrumental in scattering the
operations of the casing syndicate
were practically substantiated by the
ordinarily silent federal officials. That
the testimony of Heller, Wolf, Kent
and others will serve as a basis for
additional indictments on charges of
impeding the machinery of justice Is
expected by the federal officials.
! United States Attorney Morrison
made a remark which is significant
when considered in this connection:
"The jury will vote indictments when
ever evidence before it appears suffi-
cient to justify belief Of guilt. In
dictments will follow all tampering
with justice discovered. There is no
way to tell just when the jury will
take action, but it is certain that it
will not delay indictments when
shown that specific persons are en-
couraging witnesses to remain away
from the jury sessions"

Tried to Pack the Jury.

Austin, Texas, April 19.-In the
Kirby bribery trial here today, Dis
trict Attorney Moore, witness for
the defense admitted that he tried
to pack the jury now sitting on the
case, and said he gave the deputy
sheriff the names OF eight men to
summon on a jury. He did not see
any of them on the jury. His rea-
sons for it was to see a fair trial.
This produced profound sensation.
The defense will close tomorrow.

a Successful LamoiIIe County Boy.

1t is always a pleasure for us to
make note of the success of the La
mobile county boys, who have gone
out from their native heath. This
paper has frequently recorded events
of this kind, and it gives us great
pleasure to publish the following
concerning Johnson boy, of whom
we have before spoken:
Charles Whiting Baker of New
York city, former Vermonter, is the
designer of the car and roadway of
a new type of transportation system,
which is among the exhibits at the
American Railway Appliance exhibit
ton in Washington, D. c. The sys-
tenn is described as a hybrid between
railway and a common road. 1t
is intended to carry light traffic in
places where the cost of a regular
railway system would make the lat
ter impracticable. The railway has a
Oil SlS L clll' ONCL llllS all luG Cal IS
balanced and is kept from tipping
by wheels at the sides like ordinary
wagon wheels which roll on paths of
gravel or broken stone.
Mr.. Baker, who is managing edi-
tor of the Engineering News, was
born in Johnson, January II, 1865,
where he attended the Vermont c+a 70
normal school. In 1886 he gradu-
ated from the engineering depart
ment of the University of Vermont,
Burlington. He married Miss Re-
bekah Wheeler of Burlington June 4,
1890.
He is the only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. ]. Baker, highly respected resi-
dents of Johnson.

Reform VIII Come.
ludlow Tribune

The Tribune's fugative paragraph
on the town system of representa-
ton has caused a revival of useful
discussion in the state press. On the
face oft, the surrender of the bal
ance of power by the small towns by
their own vote seems hopelessly Wis
ionary; so did the referendum of the
liquor question. Discussion and ag-
itation brought local option; like
thing is possible in the line of rep
resentation by population. What
folly-that ten people should have as
much voice in public affairs as ten
thousand! As the st. Adams Mes
senger aptly says, acres of land not
men, make the laws of Vermont.
