COUNTY EnPLOYES
Supervisors Made Several Appoint
 ments Yesterday.


 The new board of supervisors got down to business yesterday. Early in the session EugeneLBrady O'Neill and c. Fl. Davidson, representing the Citi- zens' league, appeared before the board in the matter of another investigation of the county offices. They said that the league paid the expenses of the late investigation and since the move ment is in the interest of the taXpay- CTS of the county, it seemed proper that the expense should be met out of the county funds. The representa- tives of the league stated that it was intended to take in all of the city of fees and that it would be a good thing if the county offices could be submit ted to an inspection at the same time. The board took no immediate action in the matter and it went over to the next meeting.

 The Grand Jury adopted a reso- lution incorporating in this final report a commendation of the cap- ability and efficiency of the janitor of the court house, MT. Howard B. Shreve.
 This body has had it's attention called to certain unwarrented pub- lications in the Tucson Star, rehecting upon the officers of Santa Cruz county, and passing untrue and unwarrented comments upon criminal cases before the courts in the county, which publications have tendency to defeat the ends of justice. There was directed toward the Star a vote of censure, which was ordered incorporated in this final report.
 The Grand Jury recommen q that the Nogales town council de- vote more attention to the sanitary condition of the town, cleaning the streets and alleys, etc; placing also q light in front of the post office
 In closing this report it is de- sired to extend the thanks of the Grand Jury to the district attorney for his attention and aid in the discharge of our official duties. Respectfully submitted,

 We, the committee appointed by the Grand Jury to investigate the condition of the county jail beg leave to report as follows:
 We find that the iail is clean. well ventilated, and generally in very good condition.
 We would recommend that heavy iron grating be placed or all the windows as the bars are al least four inches apart, and would permit of large articles being passed in to the prisoners.

the toxpayers to even up private grievances, or to settle matters which should be taken into the civil courts. The disposition here in criticised has prevailed from the very organization of the County of Santa Cruz. and thousands of dollars of the money of the tax payers have been expended III trials Of indictments wherein con- victions have failed, and in futile attempts to secure indictments for the qualification of personal spite. This Grand Jury believes that in calling attention to these deplor- able facts 1t is doing public duty. If men must satisfy private grudges in the courts they should do Sc by civil process and at their own cost.
 By unanimous vote this body recommends that the board of supervisors of Santa Cruz county be requested to put at work upon the county roads and streets of Nogales, all prisoners convicted of petty offenses and confined in the county jail. Such procedure would work vast improvements il the roads and streets, al small cost, at the same time returning the tax payers some value for the expense of caring for and feeding the pris- oners, giving also the vagrant classes who are generally those committing petty offenses, whole some dread of Santa Cruz county, and cause them to keep away. With two good meals a day and comfortable quarters jail sentence has no terrors for such people; but were jail sentence coupled with good hard work it would put into their hearts wholesome fear, and cause them to cut short their stay in the county. Recently the feed- ing of ten men who served short sentences for disorderly conduct cost the taxpayers of Santa Cruz County the sum of seventy five dollars, without one cent of return, While they were eating their meals to that bill Of expense, they could have done several hundred dollars worth of work, on places on the streets and roads sadly in need oi attention, to give which neither the Town of Nogales nor the County ofSanta Cruz has the spare money necessary.
 The various county offices and their books and accounts having been checked up and examined by m expert employed by the Grand Jury at the December term 0. court, and the report of the expert having been checked and verified by the April Grand Jury, 1t k deemed not necessary now to make an examination of the offices anC books thereof, but committee wal appointed to examine the county jail, and their report is presented herewith as a part of this report.

FAvoRs PACKERS.
Report of Commissioner Garfield on
Result of Investigation of
Beef Trust.

Washington, March 4.-The president
has transmitted to congress the report of
Mr. Garfield, commissioner of corpora
lions, on the result OF his inquiries into
the business of Armour & Co., Swift &
Co., Nelson Morris & Co.. the Schwarzs-
child & Sulzberger company and the
Cudahy Packing company. He says
these six concerns in 1903 slaughtered
about As per cent. of the total indicated
slaughter in the United States; that for
three of the companies in 1903 the aver
age net profit was SO cents per head; that
the year 1902, instead Of being one of ex-
orbitant profits, was less profitable than
usual; that during the months when
prices of beef were the highest some at
least OF the leading packers were actually
losing money on every head slaughtered.
Mr.. Garfield, after reviewing prices and
conditions for 1902, 1903 and 1904, con-
cludes that the six companies above
named apparently are not overcapital-
lied, and the percentage of profit on the
gross volume Of business is compare
lively small. He finds that in 1902, 1903
and 1904 the profits of Swift & Co. did not
exceed two per cent of the total sales.
Private car lines are shown to be sources
OF profit, net return of IA to II per cent.
being indicated.
Commissioner Garfield reports his in
ability to find any general interowner-
ship of stock among the six concerns
which he specially discusses, and AYERS
that there is lively competition among
them for business.

of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-

tion of street and electric railways held
in Harlem Monday night. About 5000
employees of the subway and elevated
systems are affected by the strike.
which will tie up all traffic in Manhattan
except on the surface trolley lines.
New York, March S.-Reports early
this morning show that traffic on the
Second and Ninth avenue elevated
roads was at a complete standstill be-
cause of the strike instituted early yes
terday against the marlborough Rapid
Transit company. In the subway and
on the Third avenue elevated and on
the Sixth avenue elevated trains are
running irregularly. They managed.
however, to get the late passengers to
their homes. There has been little vio-
lcnce, although runors were rife Of dis
turbanccs OH all lines. 1t was said that
two men had been killed on the Third
avenue elevated owing to disturbance
but this proved untrue. There were
small disturbances and few fights
among those gathered at the stations,
all due to arguments over the strike
situation. The outlook for the day traf-
lic to-day is very bad, according to all
accounts. AT strike headquarters conf
dcnce is expressed on the outcome for
the men. At the lnterborough Office
the officials are also confident.

in having entered into a conspiracy with

money on worthless checks. There are
16 counts in the indictment. They relate

lished the fact that the claim of the gov.
eminent that Mrs. Chadwick had no
money in the Oberlin bank at the time
of drawing checks which were certified
by Spear and Becllwith was incorrect in
two instances. at least. 1t was shown
by the general journal of the bank that
on November 9. 1903, when Mrs. Chad
wick received certified check for $10,-
600, an entry crediting her with that
amount was made on the journal of the
bank, and deposit slip for $4,000 was
