Competition.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-When the
members of the Federal grand jury
resumed their hearing OF evidence in
the governments beef investigation
today, information regarding the own
ership of stockyards and packing
plants and the operations of buyers
at Sioux City, Omaha, St. Joseph,
Kansas City and Denver were brought
out by United States District Attor-
ney Edwin H. Sims and his assist
ants.
Federal agents at Denver and other
cities, 1t is said, have uncovered evil
dence tending to show that the pack
ing house as well as the stockyards
are owned by the National Packing
Company, although the names of 9TH
er firms have been accepted by the
public as being the active factors in
the stockyard situation.
Despite the contention of represen-
tatives of the packers that buyers
from Armour & Co., Swift & Co., and
Morris & Co. are operating independ.
emily in competition with the buyers
for the local branches of the National
Packing Company at these various
cities. the Federal lawyers apparently
hold other views.

cities, and it is rumored that their
search has revealed important facts.
Whether any. agreement has exist
ed to keep down the price of hogs
when bought from farmers by the
packing houses is to be the line of
inquiry when the Federal grand jury
resumes its hearing.

New Inauguration Date Opposed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-An un.
favorable report has been forwarded
to Congress, by the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia, on the bill
recently introduced by Representa-
tive Guernsey, of Maine, providing
that public ceremonies in connection
with the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent and vice-president be held on
the last Thursday of March of each
inaugural year. The measure was
presented with the idea of avoiding
a constitutional amendment by per.
hitting the President and vice-presi-
dent to take the oath of office in the
House of Representatives on March
a. and fixing the later date for public
ceremonies.

GOVERNORS WILL MEET

Iative Matters

Iative Matters.
PORTLAND, Feb 14.-Governor
Benson, of Oregon, and Governor
Hay, of Washington, have arranged
conference, which will be held in
Portland March 9, for the purpose OF
discussing matters Of legislation in
which the two states are jointly inter-
ested.
The conference has been brought
about through the initiative of Gov
ernor Hay, who proposed it several
months ago. The movement really
dates back to the last session of the
Washington State Legislature, when,
through the instrumentality of Sena-
tor Stewart and J. R. Burke, repre-
sentative from Wahkiakum County,
and other members of the Columbia
River counties, a resolution was
adopted providing for the appoint
ment of a treaty commission to settle
the boundary controversy between
the two states, establish uniform fish
Ing regulations and such other mat.
tiers as affect the interests of both
commonwealth.
The Washington authorities have
never been satisfied with the boun.
dairy decision of the United States
Supreme Court, and on that side of
the river it is commended that the
scope of the decision does not affect
all the boundary that is in dispute.
1t is asserted that all points in con-
troversy could be settled by treaty
which would be binding on the two
states after ratification by Congress.
1t is possible that the two Cover
nors, after discussing all phases of
the situation, will agree upon uni
form recommendations to be made to
the respective legislatures next year
affecting Columbia River legislation.
