THE MEAT BOYCOTT ROUTED BY BEEF
 TRUST
PRICES OF PRODUCTS HIGHER NOW THAN TWO MONTHS ACC WHEN CRUSADE WAS START ED AND THE BARONS ARE MAKING THE CRUSADERS PAY THE FREIGHT.
Especial from United Press.)

(Spec1aI rom united PreSS.1
 New York. March 9.-An investiga- tion today by the United Press to learn what is to become of fThe Great Meat Boycott of 191O'. launched two months ago, to bring the beef barons to their knees and the price of their products down to within the workingrnan's reach. revealed that the movement has gone the route of most noble cruSadeS and that the objective of the attack, the Beef Trust, is still doing business at the old stand.
 Tbe big petitions beginning so grand noquentIy:-ftI hereby pledge myself to absta in from all meats, etc., have disappeared and the pretty women who after harranguing the crowds in all of>the public places of the city and securing through most eloquent per- suasion thousands of names, have given up the fight ton the octopus
 The price of all meat products is to- day higher than before and the Beef Trust is busily engaged in making the sade. For a few days prices were lowered in some cities but when the supply of the local markets had been reduced, prices began to soar until to- are brin ging from to g cents more pound than they were quoted at last December, while pork products have almost doubled in price. With the ten dollar hog in evidence in all of the big stock centers. and the supply far below the demand, it is asserted there is no chance for any reduction in the price of this commodity for at least a year.
 Eggs and butter. however. are away down and with the advent of good weather which will cause the hens to lay and give open pasturage to cattle, it is claimed there will be no further panic prices charged for dairy pro- ducts.

Taft. You want something above the
common herd. Look in the glass again.

of dignity
MT. Bowser thought of what he had
said about the reckless idiot, but he
also felt that he was cornered. He
had been mistaken for a senator who
had six autos and speculated in wall
street, and he hated to let himself
down. As a result he took the hat.
When he reached home and met Mrs.
Bowser's accusing. eye he said:

Bowser that the man who paid more

for a 50 hat the salesman looked at

Yes, a 50 hat is good enough for him.
Senator, why don't you buy one for

All the rest of the evening Mrs.
Bowser tried to quiet and console,
but with poor success. Mr.. Bowser
walked the floor and abused the pro-

PRINCESS BARIATIMskY
Makes Her Professional Debut to Lon
don Audience.

London, January 1.-(Special )-Among
those who have recently made their debut
to London audiences 1t may be well to
mention the appearance of Russian
Princess, who with personal fascination
has won the admiration Of all who have
witnessed her acting.
Princess Bariatimsky in private life Is
known by her stage name as Nine. Lydia
Yavorskaia both names being coupled
together on the programme.
Tall and slender, she does not look par
ticularly like Russian, but more than
anything else like the best type of En-
glishwoman. Her brow. from which the
soft brown hair touched with gray, waves
quietly away, has that combined air about
it of goodness and intelligence, which Is
an actresses sanctifcation. Her gray
eyes are delightfully."- expressive, and her
acting is simple poignant, vigorous, with
out any afrectation whatever.
Princess B~riatimsky's programme has
only included version of well known
Russian plays. but like all Russians, she
is an excellent linguist and she hopes to
act in English in, at any rate, one play
before her season Is over.
