AFTER THE RAILROADS.
Government Said to BE Seeking In-
formation Regarding Them
Rather Than Reef Trust.

Chicago, March 24.--"There will be
no criminal indictments; the'Be
trust is not being investigated; the
government is really seeking in
formation against the railroads. The
grand jury will adjourn with no
bills" These are some of the
declarations embodied in a state
ment coming from the packers re-
garding the special federal grand
jury called to investigate the meat
situation. A spokesman for the
packers legal battery gave to the
press a statement embodying the
points above quoted. In support he
said:
1.-THE real question behind this in
Quiry is transportation. The hear
ing is not for criminal indictments
which the government knows could
never stand. The preliminary indus
try is closely allied to the railroads
and car lines, to the regulation OF
all Its power. The fact that this Is
in reality an expedition to secure In
formation and evidence about the rail-
roads is proved by every known fact,
and is apparent to any person who
has studied the course Of proceedings.
First Of all, the witnesses summon
ed prove It. The live stock market,
which has been the basis and insti-
cation Of sll complaints and actions
against the packers, has been 'pracd-
cally ignored in preparing this inquiry.
Scarcely any witnesses have been call
ed on the live stock branch. On the
other hand the remotest features OF
the transportation side have been
gone into, the smallest factors be-
ing summoned to testify. No federal
grand jury in the history Of the coun-
Try ever sat for such a length Of
4 time as this one is scheduled to sit.
II all the witnesses summoned are ex-
amined. the jury would be in session
for three months Already witnesses
have been summoned for as late as
May 5. They will tire the grand
jury cut before such time. The Jurors
win end the sessions The govern
ment viii have its stenographic
evidence"

1ition continues:
"But II so happened that a public
elamor arose In the gas territory that

Eitory and should not be piped out Of
the state and q public EFFORT was made
By violence and In the courts to pre-
cent the laying Of pipes to pipe gas
away from the gas territory and out Of
the state, and owing to such public
, clamor the charter board, without
making any findings Of fact or without
setting forth any reason. arbitrarily
willfully and unlawfully rejected the
application Of the defendant for a II.

vent the piping and export OF gas

GETS HER SENTENCE.
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick Is Con-
victed on Seven Counts.
GETS TEN YEARS IN PEEITETTIARY.
taaotion for a New Trial Oyerrulen
Case VIII he Appealed
to n Higher
Court.

Cleveland, March 2S.-Unless the
vhieher court interferes Mrs. Cassie
Chadwick will spend the greater
mart Of the next ten years in the ONO
state penitentiary. A sentence Of
aen years was imposed on her by
nudge Robert W. Tayler in the
GJnited States district court at o'clock
,vesterday. The sentence came at the
.caDse Of a busy day for the court IN
Nearing arguments on a motion for
o new trial, which lasted all day The
motion was overruled.
Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on
oeven counts and sentenced upon Blk
counts. For four Of these counts q
sentence of two years each was impos'
ed. Upon two counts sentence OF one
year each was imposed, making a total
sentence of 10 years. As soon as the
sentence was pronounced Attorney
J. p. Dawley, counsel for Mrs. Chad
vick. took exceptions to the sentences
upon each count, except the frst
count. The defense intends to make
Ahe claim that the court cannot I'm"
nose q separate sentence for each
count; that the law applied to the
general charge instead Of each Incl
Dent Of general charge. The var
lous counts OF the Indictment are con-
sidered by the defense to refer only
10 details Of the general offense. This
point will also be contested In the high
or court as will the other points OF
the Chadwick trial which resulted In
her conviction.
Either Judge Francis ]. Wing or
Nj. Dawley will go to Cincinnati today
70 make arrangements for a review
Inf the case by the United States cir
nlIt court Of appeals. The first step
kalsen by the defense will be to ask
Ror stay Of sentence until the APP
Weal is tried on. There was an under
standing with United States Marshal
chandler, United States Attorney
Sullivan and the court yesterday to
The effect that there would be no at
Eempt to execute the sentence until
The defense had an opportunity to
carry the case to the higher court and
there obtain a suspension Of the
sentence. Mrs. Chadwick will be de-
Tended to the last court.
No action will be taken by United
States Attorney Sullivan regarding
the other six indictments against
Mrs. Chadwick in the federal court
until the present case Is finally dis
posed Of.
II the present trial and sentence
Is sustained by the last court the
other cases will be dropped, otherwise
they will be used against the woman.
Mrs. Chadwick was not particular
ay affected by the action Of the court
to-day. as seemingly she had resign
ed herself to any action that might
be taken. She was convicted under
the Indictment in which she was
charged with conspiracy with Beck
With and Spear to certify her checks
when she had no money in the bank,
BY good behavior Mrs. Chadwick
scan reduce her time to Imprisonment
10 eight years and four months.

Drawing the Sex Line.

There comes from Los Angeles a story of a most unreasonable perform ance by the women's clubs of that beautiful city, which suggests a possi- bility that. if this sort of thing spreads, the 'sex line" may come to be as much of a nuisance in this country as the various other lines are now.
 Los Angeles has a free public libra ry. A certain Miss Jones has been it's librarian for several years. The evil dence at hand does not indicate that Miss Jones was an especially efficient librarian. The trustees of the library have been bombarded with complaints against her for some time past. Hav- ing convinced themselves of the jus tice of these complaints. the trustees gave Miss Jones an opportunity to re- sign quietly and apparently Of her own free will. Miss Jones rejected the op- portunity. She clung to her post like the limpet to the rock. Finally the board of trustees felt itself compelled to discharge her and appointed in her place Charles A. Lummis, editor Of Out West.
 Then the women's clubs rose in their might to protest. They have been holding indignation meetings and adopting resolutions calling upon the mayor to remove all the library trus- tees and to appoint in their places men who Twill see to it that the librarian is a woman"
 It will be noted that the women s clubs of Los Angeles raise no question as to the propriety of the removal of Miss Jones' The dire injustice that trks their souls is the appointment of man to succeed her. They probably think they know of some reason why the public interest requires that the office of public librarian should be held by a woman and not by a man, but they don't mention it in their protest. Their idea seems to be that as they are organizations of women they are bound to insist that a woman shall not be superseded in office by man, un- der any circumstances whatever. Tn short they draw the sex line.
 It is to be hoped that unless the wo- mems clubs can show some sort of reason why the public librarian of Los Angeles should be a woman rather than a man, the mayor of Los Angeles will pay no attention to their silly res oIutions. Drawing the sex line is a practice not. to be encouraged. The country has troubles enough without adding any such nonsenses as the ideas of the women's clubs of Los Angeles Ito it's handicaps.

speculation as to the motive therefor and the significance thereof or course the meeting of the two fleets will be in no sense a joint naval demonstra- tion. But it will answer the purpose of one in giving the chancellories of Europe matter for thought and in strengthening the existing impression that there is an agreement between the two great English speaking naval nations that if ever their respective navies are engaged in the same war they will be found fighting shoulder to shoulder on the same side. Over in Europe they believe as firmly in the existence of an Anglo-American treaty as in any actual fact of di- plomacy.
 Americans know that any such se- cret treaty is impossible. But the inn possibility of convincing European governments of this truth is by no means to be deplored. It tends 10 keep them in order and tn preserve the peace of the world. No European naval power. nor alliance of European naval powers, would think seriously for a moment of engaging in a naval war against England and America combined, and the belief that attack ing one will mean attacking both makes exceedingly unlikely an attack on either Meanwhile the Anglo American entente" which is really no more than a practical recognition by the two nations that neither has any thing to fear from the other, since their interests are such that they are a good deal more likely to accord than to clash. actuall binds neither nation to anything whatever. It is a great arrangement for this country and for Great Britain-this "Anglo-American entente" that the imagination of Flu rope has evolved for them. It has all the advantages without any of the dis advantages of an "entangling alliance"

Charles L. Davidson. who was born in Japan and has just married a Gin cinnati girl, tells an Army and Navy Journal" correspondent that March ing Through Georgia" is the favorite band tune of the Japanese soldiers. "The brass bands play it so much" ne says, that the men have learned to understand the intervals, the harmony and the rythm. There is no such thing as time in the native Japanese mus ic. Since the war came, however, Jap anese composers have written a num-
 Der of patriotic airs. in which the racteristics of the native music have been blended with some of ours, notably the rythmic swing of our march pieces. These airs have been put to patriotic songs and the men sing them with great delight, picking up the new tunes readily, and shout ing them at the top of their voices.'

Good Way to Hang China.

One ingenious woman hangs pretty
china plates on the wall by the fol-
lowing method: Three or four large
dress hooks were slipped over the
edge of each plate; wrapping cord was
then run across the back of the plate
from hook to hook, fastened securely
in the center, with loop to hang the
plate up by. White hooks being used
they were scarcely noticeable when
the plates were hung.
