ruptcy by High Prices and Loss of
Trade, Kills Himself.

New York, Feb. 2s.-Capases for the
arrest of the indicted meat packers and
summonses for the six indicted meat
corporations We're ordered today by
Prosecutor Garven, of New Jersey. who
will later hand them over to Sheriff
Kelly for execution. Counsel for James
r. Bathgate, Jr, one of the New Jer-
sey directors in the meat combine, APP
peared in court today and was released
on bail of $4,000.
Prosecutor Garven intends to try the
indicted directors as individuals be-
fore he proceeds to try the six COM
panies indicted as corporations. 1t is
understood that he will oppose vigor-
ously any overtures made by the pack
ers' attorneys to have the cases against
the companies placed on the calendar
first.
No time has been fixed by Garven
for the voluntary production of the de-
PENDANTS. Attorneys for the packers will
probably proceed to attack the indict-
ment by certorari soon after James f.,
Bathgate, Jr., the first of the defend
ants to surrender himself, is arraigned
to plead.
Prosecutor Garven viii take up this
week the question of seeking to compel
the Corporation Trust Company of New
Jersey, as the New Jersey agent Of
the National Packing Company, to
produce before the grand jury the min
utes of the directors and stockholders
meetings of the company In the event
of a refusal to obey such an order.
Garven will start a legal fight by ask
ing the revocation of the charter under
which the packing company is doing
business as a New Jersey corporation.

Company Weakens.

Philadelphia. Pa. Feb. .2s.-Despite
various acts of violence committed
by riotous crowds thruout the city
Sunday, the street railway company
was prepared this morning to open it's
lines with increased number of cars.
Very little difficulty was experienced
in the operation of any line in the early
part of the day. More important than
the ability of the company to operate
its cars is the probable, effect of the
sympathetic strike decided upon by
labor leaders. A walkout of ninety
thousand union workers is scheduled
for next Saturday unless differences
between the company and its union
employees are amicably adjusted before
that time.
Business men and others heretofore
Indifferent are now endeavoring to in
duce the company to agree to arbitra-
tion but so far it shows no sign of
yielding.

servation" and worthy public serv-

The assurance with which Mr.. Pin
shot has now charged Ballinger with
various degrees and deceit and wrong
doing have caused the greatest alarm
in administration circles. The congress
sional committee may find itself en-
tirely helpless in the effort to conduct
the hearing without bringing the pres
ident into the limelight
There are strong rumors in Washing
ton of other charges impending in the
cabinet besides the retirement of Sec
retary Ballinger. 1t is considered i'm
possible for the president to retain Mr..
Ballinger, unless the Pinchot charges
fail completely, and the testimony thus
far introduced does not indicate that
they will so fail.
Wilson May Be Drawn In.
Altho the committee may not find
that the testimony is such as to convict
Mr.. Ballinger of willful mismanage-
nnent of his office. his connection with
the administration has brought it into
such controversy that his retirement is
apparently certain.
The Introduction of a second cabinet
officer, Secretary Wilson, into the con-
troversy is expected at any moment
thru the effort of Mr. Pipchot to prove
that his superior Offered no objection
to the letter which was written by Pin
chot to Senator 'Dolliver and upon
which President Taft based his charges
of characterization when he dismissed
Pinchot from the service.
The administration forces are far
from united upon the plan that Presi-
dent Taft has followed in support of
his secretary of the interior. 1t is un-
derstood that the president is as great
ly embarrassed by the condition with
in his cabinet as by the external de-
velopments of the investigation.
BaiIinger's Statement.
Ballinger. in response to inquiries,
wrote the following for the Associated
Press:
"In view of the fact that I will pre-
sumably appear before the committee
and acquaint them with the truth, !
will not reply thru the press to men
dacious aspersions Pinchot seeks to
cast upon me. He attempted unsuc-
will find that it will be equally difficult
to deceive the committee.
"Obviously the only deception which
he hopes to succeed is the temporary
deception of the public thru the press.
This he endeavored to do by giving
out in advance the Introductory state

present, but not quite reckless enough
to state upon oath.

Hobo Here.
Galveston, Tex, Feb. 28.-Frank
Strome a week ago was tramp beat
ing his way westward on freight train
with Ell Paso as his destination. To-
day he owns half interest in the Val
vedere cattle ranch, said to be valued
at nearly s1,000,000. with it's 10000 head
of cattle and 100 square miles Of land
in jeff Davis and Pecos counties.
The range is owned by Samuel W.
Jennings, reputed to be worth several
millions. A few days ago the 7-year-
old daughter of Jennings was crossing
the railroad track. A train was bearing
down on her and she seemed doomed,
when Strome grabbed her and pulled
her from the track.
Strome went on his way, but persons
who witnessed the rescue reported the
matter, and three days ago he was To-
Gated by Jennings, and taken to the
ranch. Yesterday a deed was filed
transferring half interest in the prop
erty to the girls rescuer.
Strome is 48 years old, widower,
and years ago lived in Chicago. He is
educated and attributes his downfall to
drink after the death of his wife fif-
teen years ago.

Hope to Avert Tariff War.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The American
government has determined upon it's
line of action with Canada for the set
tlement of the tariff difficulties The
diplomatic exchanges with Canada
thru the British embassy are believed
to have brought results.
The United States is not ready to
concede the minimum tariff to Canada
without concessions from the other
side. 1t is possible that the situation
existing under the Franco Canadian
treaty, whereby fourteen nations receive
Favored nation treatment" will be
overlooked by the United States; but III
that event there will have to be certain
concessions from Canada in the matter
Of pulp wood restrictions.
1t is understood that Canada may Sc
cure the minimum tariff either by ad-
mitting the United States to the list of
favored nations, or by promising a
modification of the pulp wood export
laws. This is understood to mean the
promise that Quebec and New Bruns-
wick will refrain from prohibiting the
export of pulp wood.
The negotiations with France have
progressed to point where it is be-
lieved a settlement can be reached
without trade war.
