CHINA CALLED TO
4 TASK BY POWERS

| Picking, Feb. 19-Great Britain,
rance and Germany, in an identical
pte presented to the foreign board
!, sked the Chinese government the
neaning of the imperial rescript of
.Inuary 30, in which the throne order
d the imperial board of communica-
| tons to consider the appeal of the
rovinces concerned to build the rail-
roads involved in the disputed Han
kow-Szechuen line. The note holds
China to her obligations contracted in
the negotiations of last summer.
The above powers made an effort to
arrange protest against the rescript,
but the United States did not join with
them in the matter. Neither did the
United States participate in the iden-
teal note; but Mr.. Fletcher, the Amer
lean charge d'affaires, made represen-
tations to the foreign board to the eff
feet that the United States would ex-
pect full participation in any loan for
the railways involved.
Baron Ejuin, the Japanese minister,
called at the American legation and
explained to Mr.. Fletcher Japan's po-
sition in the matter of the Chin Chaw-
Augun railway.
Japan's official representations to
China for participation in the financ-
ing of this road do not contain new
conditions not made in the informal
representations, only as Japan makes
clear her expectations of extending
the Japanese lines to the rich Tonanfu
region, preferably from Tiehling.
Washington, Feb. 19.-The United
States government did not see fit to
join with Great Britain, France and
Germany in asking China for an ex-
PLANTATION of the rescript because the
state department relies on the prom
Uses of the imperial government to al
low this country to participate in the
loan from which the roads are to be
constructed.
The other three powers felt their in
1terests in the loan were not based on
ass urances that they would deem con-
elusive.
The state department believes the
roads will be constructed, not by a
loan subscribed by the provinces
through which they are to run, but
with loan subscribed by the leading
powers, in which the United States
will share fully.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Warfare upon
Packingtown has assumed nationwide
proportions.
Indictments were. voted Saturday
against directors of the National Pack
ing Company by New Jersey grand
jury.
The federal grand jury in Chicago,
delving into the records of the pack
ing industry for evidence of antitrust
law violations, has about completed it's
big task, and a report within two
weeks is expected.
Investigation of the packers in Mis-
souri, under the state trust law, is well
under way. More recently Kansas has
inaugurated similar proceedings.
High Prices Quicken Action.
This combined attack, broad as it is,
may be augmented further. Many
states, it was declared today, have
enacted antitrust laws under which
they may proceed individually against
the big firms of Packingtown. A
number, it was ascertained, contem-
plate doing so. This inquisitorial &C
tivity is attributed in some quarters to
the high price of meat.
Action in New Jersey is based upon
an ancient law which forbids the stor-
age or destruction of produce with the
intent of influencing the market. Orig
inally it was an old English statue,
and few states have adopted it. New
ertheless, the New Jersey act, though
long unused, is believed by the author
tiles of the commonwealth to furnish
grounds for prosecution.
Packers Not Worried.
A somewhat modified view obtained
in Chicago. Many held that the sud
denness of the New Jersey jurors de-
cision tended to cast doubt upon the
serious ness of the attack. There is a
wide distinction between indictment
and conviction, it was pointed out. J.
Ogden Armour, Louis F. Swift, Edward
Norris and other packers named in
the new charges were unwilling to be
interviewed, but their attorneys ap-
peared confident that the New Jersey
attack would fail.
The suit in Missouri is in the civil
courts and the punishment which that
state seeks to inflict upon the big
packing houses is eviction. The Chi
cago grand jury, on the other hand, is
conducting it's inquiry under the Sher-
man antitrust law, and whatever &C
tiOn IT NAV tako will ho tho result Of
mature consideration.
Chicago Inquisitors Busy.
What would develop If the beef in
vestigations in New Jersey, Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas should utilize
similar evidence and still more COM
plicated questions regarding possible
convictions at different points were
cleared up by lawyers Saturday.

PACKERS TO BE
INDICTED
NEW JERSEY GRAND JURY Salts
r. FLED WITH EVIDENCE
PRESENTED.
Instructed to Draw up Form
Of Indictment Against National
Packing Company Directors Took
Action to Hold Surplus Supplies in
Cold Storage Until Prices Went Up.

New York, Feb. 19.-Prosecutor Gar
van said last night that, acting upon
his recommendation, the Hudson coun-
ty grand jury of New Jersey had In
structed him to draw up the form OF
an indictment against the National
Packing Company and it's directors.
The grand jury, he said, had positive
evidence that food products in some in
stances have been kept in cold storage
for seven years.
1t was stated tonight that the Ma.
tional Packing Company had already
been indicted. Caravans statement, al
though technically denial, forecasts
such action soon. 1t is understood that
the indictment, when finally presented,
probably will be for conspiracy in re-
straint of trade, as the court instructed
the jury it might find, in his charge.
In Mr.. Caravans belief, the best proof
of conspiracy to restrain trade lay in
the minutes of the National Packing
Company, which had been read to the
grand jury. In the directorate of the
National Packing Company appeared
the names of many recognized holders
of great packing interests. Apparent
ly, said Mr.. Caravan, these companies
were working Independently, but he
believed he had evidence that directors
of the National Packing Company had
taken formal action to hold surplus
supplies in storage. until the market
prices should meet their own figures.
The directors are J. Ogden Armour,
Edwin Morris, E. F. Swift, E. M. Nor.
ris, Arthur Meeker, Edward Tilden, T.
J. Corners, L. A. Carton, T. E. Wilson,
C. H. Swift, l.. H. Heyman, Samuel L.
McRoberts, F. A. Fowler, A. w. Ar
mour, L. F. Swift and Kenneth K. Mac.
Laren.
1t is understood that each will be
named specifically with the exception
of Mr.. MacLaren, who is resident OF
New Jersey, and who has no known
active share in the management of the
company.
The testimony of chemists and biolo-
gists has been heard by the grand jury,
and evidence has been laid before the
State board of health. Consultations
also have been held with DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief chemist of the federal
government.
