BEEF TRUST PROBE
Is NEARING END

Chicago, March II When the fed
eral grand jury convened this morning
it was believed that either today or to-
morrow would see the end of the in
vestigation of the so-called beef trust.
The examination of witnesses would
be finished probably today, according
to government officials.
1t was expected that the grand jury
would require considerable time, how
ever, for the consideration of evidence
after the last witness had been exam
ined. The present inquiry has lasted
eight weeks and 1872 witnesses had
been questioned. Large numbers of
books and documents have also been
scrutinized. 1t was nearly eight years
ago when the first investigation of the
packing house business was opened,
the date being May TO- 1902.

Washington, March 21.--Prior TO the
converting of the house today there
was a general inquiry by all members
regardless of party or faction to ascer-
tain the exact situation On the sur
face, it appeared that there was to
be no immediate trouble. In fact, all
sides today seemed elated There was
apparently no disposition by anybody
to renew hostilities unless some one
else started trouble. IT, however, any
person showed a disposition to con-
tinue the strife of the last few days
1t was evident there would be no lack
OF volunteers to respond
Mr.. Norris said there was no meet =
ing of the insurgents in sight, although
they were in a position to get to-
gether at a moments notice The
democratic position apparently was one
of entire satisfaction
When the speaker called the house
to order today scarcely one-fourth of
the members were in their seats. Rep
resentative Dawson of Iowa immedi-
ately obtained unanimous consent for
the consideration of the bin providing
for the enlistment of the naval acad-
envy band The measure was passed
without delay.
Cannon Turns Defeat to Vistory.
Speaker Cannon went down to de-
feat Saturday, but when his enemies
believed him to be in utter rout he
turned and forced from them what
practically amounts to vote of conf
dence. 1t was the last play of yeter-
an fighter and of parliamentarian
whose hand has been trained by years
of practical experience.
The speaker was forced from the
rules committee by vote or 19f to
155, forty republican insurgents siding
with the solid democratic vote. The
trick that the speaker turned on his
enemies was In the form of resolu-
tion presented by Representative Bur
Lesson of Texas, a democrat, declaring
the speakers chair vacant and order
ing an election of Mr. Cannon's sue
cessor. The speaker already had an
nounced from the chair, amid an i'm
pressive silence, that he would enter
tain such a motion. 1t was promptly
voted down by 191 to 155, amid a scene
that is probably without parallel in
the history of the house of representa-
tives. Only nine insurgents sided with
the democrats in voting to depose
Uncle Joe from the post that he has
held for seven years AS a matter of
fact. the proposition to Dust him from
the speakership was rejected by a mo-
jority Of 36, which is ten more than
the majority that the speaker had
when he was first elected to the office.
