BEEF INQUIRY
Great Care 10 Prevent
News From Leak
ing Out.
WATCHING WITNESSES

Chicago, April 2O.-The federal
grand jury today examined eight wit
nesses, some from the west, in con-
nection with the Etna Trading Co.
and its relations tc the several big
packing corporations and the uphold
ing of various grades of castings"
Each of the witnesses was accom-
lanied to and from the jury room by
secret service men, and the utmost
care taken that no one should learn
their destination. More care is being
exercised in this line than heretofore,
owing to the fact that some points
have leaked out" to the newspapers.
This forenoon there was something
of a sensation caused by the activity
of secret service men in hunting for
Charles ]. Davis, one of the head
sheep buyers for Armour e Co. 1t had
been learned that Mr.. Davis was maxi
Ing plans to leave Chicago and had
gene so far as to sell his home. This
was seized upon as a confirmation of
the assertion often made, that the
packers are hurrying away employees
who might be compelled to give valu-
able information to he grand jury.
Several secret service men were sent
out, and this evening, shortly after 6
o'clock Mr.. Davis was brought into
the district attorneys offices. He in
Gignantly denied that he had any in
tention of leaving the city for the pur-
pose intimated; said he was simply
about to take a vacation and as to
the sale of his home he had a right
10 sell a piece of property when his
price was secured, as we'll as any
Other American citizen, He gave his
address and said he would be ready to
respond to subpoena at any time.
Another feature of general interest
to the public was the fact that while
live stock prices dropped at the stock
yards owing to an unusually small
run Thursday the prices of fresh
meat to consumers remained at the
same high figures as last week
Cattle sold today at 10 and 10 cents
hundred pounds lower than a week
ago although the supply was less and
the demand as great
"At the present rate of operation" !"
said United States Attorney Morrison
"the examination of witnesses subpoe-
naed will be finished by May 1. Side
issues may appear however which will
extend this time somewhat The rea-
son for the length of the inquiry is
The fact, generally unknown. that the
department of justice has had to build
It's own Investigation and has not had
the help of the Garfield report, as err
roneously stated. That report is the
property of the department which OBJ
tanned it and we have no right to its
use and are not availing ourselves of
any part of it.
Regarding the private car lines and
rebates we will not touch them. Ex-
ccpt in case of a combination of car
line owners we will not investigate
that phase"

FOR HER CHILDREN
Wife Sues Divorced Husband For Care
and Education of Their
Offspring.

Clara Augustine, who was divorced
flom her husband, John Augustine,
ten years ago, has brought suit against
him for $1,690, claiming that that
amount is due her for the keeping of
the children. The charge is made
that when the divorce was granted
the husband was given the custody Of
the two children, but that he misused
them and neglected them to such an
extent that the mother had to take
and keep them. She brought in a
bill at the rate of SIG a month for
each, making the total amount sued
for. McCaughey & Eggert of Massil-
Ion are counsel in the case. The de-
fendant owns property in Tuscarawas
county.

ANOTHER BLOW TO
GATES WHEAT DEAL
RESULTED IN LOWERING MAY
PRICE FIVE CENTS A BUSHEL.
Purpose Said to Be to Level Condi'
tons to Prevent Rush to Chi
cauo Market

Chicago, April 20.-The so-called
Gates wheat deal received another
blow today which resulted in lowering
the May price at one time five cents
bushel. Heavy rains throughout the
greater portion of the wheat region
was a great bear factor and when the
rumor was circulated that Mr.. Gates
was getting out as best he could, the
excitement in the pit became intense.
Sales of May wheat for the day
probably reached 100000 bushels.
Gates sold all he couid through Wood
bury, in whose office he has board of
trade headquarters. When the May
price fell under $1.10 the commission
PEOPLE poured the wheat out on stop
loss selling orders. This gave the pam
icky break to s1.OSA.
Besides the clique brokers sales,
liberal lines came out through two or
three big houses, which may have been
Gates wheat also. The price rebound
ed two cents to $1.101a and closed at
S1.10, or 31z cents lower for the day.
While this bear turn was on in
wheat the Armour-Valentine people
were supporting the July wheat
against selling drives of the trade
caused by the rains. 1t is argued that
the Armour enormous buying for July
is for the Gates crowd, either covering
heavy short sales made from $1.01
down, or possibly going long for the
Wall street leader After all the bear
drives the July price closed less than
one quarter of a cent lower at S73s
@4.
After the close 1t was given out
from well posted officers that heavy
private settlements were made in
May wheat late in the day, chiefly at
Minneapolis and other outside mar
kets The action here suggests big
private settlements. .,..
The following list shows the slumps
at the other centers: Kansas City
34s; Duluth AS; New York Az; Min
neapolis 81 st. Louis 5R,
The purpose Of the slump is said to
| be to level conditions all over the
country so that wheat will not be
rushed to the Chicago market. This
will have the combined effect of de-
creasing the price of wheat and pre-
venting it from centering at one place.

The school board will make no preparation for the fall term of school until the new members are elected in May This is probably right as the new members have the right to q voice Tn the matter ot teachers. We hope they will pro. cure experts and redeem the town from the back set | has sustained this year by the absence of free school. There should be special care taken also not to spend moro than the revenue Forrest City can have fine school for the re. venue tAat k now available each year, afd there can be no excuse for this district ever passing over another year without free schools. It is sad that several thousand dollars is now required to build an addition to and repair the building. Let il not be done with the school fund-that is, let not the school fund be jeopardized or anticipated for this purpose,-but rather cre- ate sinking fund. and by close economy and cutting down the salary Of the principal to a reason able fgure-s85 and house rent is reasonable-a fund can be raised within year or two. However if this cannot be done, then let the legislature give us the privilege of issuing bonds for that purpose.
