OF BEEF TRUST
Special Grand Jury Begins Work In
Chicago.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
GREAT MASS OF EVIDENCE Be
ING PRESENTED.

n HICAGO, March 22-The special
IL grand jury to investigate the So
called beef trust was completed
today. The vacancies left in the panel
yesterday We're filled and the huge mass
of testimony available was Immediately
attacked.
District Judge J. Otis Humphrey
charged the jury to present no one
from envy, hatred or malice. nor to
leave anyone unpresented for fear, IA
vOr, affection, reward or hope of re-
ward
The charge to the jurors was deliv-
cred in a most impressive manner and
was listened to with deep interest.
Judge Humphrey said: This BODY
stands between the upright and hon
est citizen and the malicious accuSer.
You are savers of reputation, as well
as the body through which the honest
aCcUser obtains Justice"
Continuing, Judge Humphrey said:
4 call your attention particularly to
the statute which prohibits and fixes
d penalty for combinations in restraint
Of trade, in the interstate commerce
laws and their various branches.
While you are not selected to try
the guilt or innocence of the accused
in order to Justify a true bill, you will
have such evidence as, if unexplained
and uncontradicted, would satisfy your
minds of the guilt of the accused.
You are not to disclose to any per
son or at any time the secrets of your
deliberations. Reputation is the great
est earthly inheritance. The mere fact
that some persons name is before YOU
as being accused of crime would black
en- the reputation, even though you
might not return true bill. No human
being has a right to know and you are
not to disclose to any human being the
secrets of your deliberations. All that

turn of indictments, if indictments shall

Among the important witnesses who
viii appear before the beef trust grand
jury are Miss NJ. a. Dinock, private
secretary to J. ogden Armour; c. O.
Young, general superintendent of Swift
& Co, and George f. Morgan, assistant
to Young.

Morales Only Hope.

With the seizure Of the Dominican
ports by foreign powers it is argued
here that the Monroe doctrine will be
nullified as regards this republic. With
the United States in possession of two
ports it would not be logical to oppose
the seizure Of other ports by foreign
powers. At the same time the only
hope of President Morales is that in
some way the United States can secure
a pOstpOnement of seizure by European
powers No steps to this end have been
initiated here.
No reply has yet been made to the
Belgian demand.
