Chicago, March 24.-Twelve out-of-
town witnesses, supposed to be men
employed by various packing firms and
retail meat dealers, have thus far tcs-
titled before the special grand jury
which is hearing evidence against the
so-called beef trust" The evidence
sought was concerning the price retail
dealers in meats were forced to pay the
packers and the price some of the pack
ing concerns have been paying the cat
tie raisers for beef on the hoof.
Three Important Witnesses.

retail meat dealer at Cedar Rapids. Ia,
and Robert Hall, in tho same business
at Kansas City. Other witnesses heard

Seven of the men who have testified

Gov. Hocl, and the OIL Trust.
Topeka, Kan, March PA. d. Ed
1y, of Chicago, general counsel of the
Standard Oil company, conferred with
Governor Hoch regarding oil legisla-
ton in This state. Eddy asked that no
receivership proceedings be started
against the Prairie Oil and Gas COM
pany until the custer case against
the same company, now in the
supreme court. he decided Eddy said
the Standard would show evidence in
its favor during the hearing of the
custer ease. Governor Hoch would
make no promises, saying that he
would act as the best interests of the
state appeared to demand.
Standard "Only Wants Square Deal"lI
Eddy assured Governor Hoch that
the Standard was not trying to punish
Kansas, and only wanted square
deal; that the Standards position is
governed by the law of supply and
demand, and that as the Kansas daily
production of oil exceeds the Stand
ards capacity for refining from tho
Kansas field the Standard cannot take
all the oil offered. He says the build
ing of refinery by the state will moi
help matters, but that when the fields
in Indiana and Ohio are exhausted
more oil will be taken from Kansas.
