CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Four members of

Lands, to start the present inquiry, ac-
cording to a report current here today
Assistant Attorney General Wade Ell

there was any friction among govern

Investigation and said that District At

Concerning the inception of the

Inquiry Is Suggested
This quartet, it is said. was willing

over the increasing price of meat that
they informed Judge Lands that they
thought it was time for the govern
ment to begin another inquiry.
The report of the four Jurors alleged
that enough evidence was submitted to
the 1908 grand jury to warrant true
bills and that, in spite. of this, there
was sudden apathy on the part of
those behind the prosecution. They also
said that if the investigation were not

was chief OF police; Jesse Cook on his
way back to duty as a sergeant and
Harry p. Flannery was president Of the
new board.
Failure TO resign upon the request
Of the mayor was followed by immedi-
ate removal for cause" The cause as
signed was the increase of subor
oinates' salaries in violation of charter
provision.
The mayors coup was planned and
completed within the space of two
hours The method OF ousting the
Followers was not agreed upon until s
O'Clock last night. When they ap-
peared at the board room at 1880 o'clock
they were met by their successors and
notified that the mayor had consented

chieftainship.
Mayor Mccarthy had made it plain
that he would begin the job of ousting

railroad companies operating more

Tempest i'm a Teapot

Henry Mutshler, prominent
blacksmith of Stayton, was hailed in
TO Justice Webster's court this morn
ing upon a warrant sworn out by
Paul Fehlen, also resident of Stay
ton, upon the charge of threatening
to annihilate the whole Fehlen fami-
ly, but, upon examination, the court
did not think the evidence sufficient
to warrant the charge, and dismissed
the complaint without placing Mr..
Mutshler under bonds to keep the
peace. 1t developed at the hearing
that the whole trouble arose over the
mischievousness of children, and the
only threat that could be substanti-
ated that Mr.. Mutshler had made
against Mr.. Fehlen or any member
of his family was that If Mr.. Fehlen
did not take steps to restrain his chill
dren from tormenting Mr. Mutshler's
daughter by calling her fatty" he,
Mutshler, would not only take it up
on himself not only to- thrash the
Fehlen children, but he would thrash
Fehlen also. Fehlen did not take
kindly to a threat of this nature, and
had Mutshler arrested for threaten
ing bodily harm, and wanted him
placed under bonds to keep the
peace.
