BEEF INDICTMENTS ARE NEAR
BELIEVED INQUIRY BE OVER
WITHIN TWO WEEKS.
Reported Bills Against -Four Packers
Are About to be Returned by
Jury.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-ProSress, in the
beef investigation which is trying to
determine whether or not the National
Packing Company, owned by the Arm.
ours and Swifts, is trust has devel.
oped to such point that it is now be-
lieved that the inquiry will not last
longer than two weeks.
This is cutting the time first esti-
mated by government officials in half
and is taken to mean that they are
finding sufficient evidence OF doc.
umentary nature to warrant the issu-
ing of indictments.
1t was persistently. rumored about
the federal building that Indictments
against four of the big packers were
about to be returned by the grand
Jury. District Attorney Sims refused
to deny or affirm this report. He said
that he could not tell how soon some
thing startling might develop but the
general uir OF confidence displayed by
government officials would indicate
that they are not in the least discour-
aged by the results of the inyestiga-
ton.
At the beginning of the second week
of the inquiry the documentary side
OF the investigation was taken up. At
torney Ralph Crews, counsel for the
National Packing Company, was the
only witness before the grand jury.
He was called to identify books of the
concern. Minutes of directors meet
ings. stock books and other records
seized by the government were ex-
amined. the aim being to determine the
status of those directing the concern.
1t was announced that the balance of
the week would be devoted to exam.
nations of that kind
1t is expected that Oliver E. Pagin,
the government indictment expert,
will return to Washington to-day. This
is taken in some sources to mean that
he is to go back and prepare indict-
ments and that the investigation SO
far warrants the early preparation OF
the indictments. Mr.. Pagin refused to
talk of his probable actions.

LITTLE MONEY IN osTRIcAEs
Australian Raisers Of Beautifully
Feathered Birds Get Small Re-
turns for Their Work.

The first attempt to raise ostriches
in Australia was made by MIR. Nal.
com. who In 1880 brought. 100 young
birds from South Africa to South Aus
tralia. In the following year the par
lament of South Australia enacted a
law which granted to the first person
who should exhibit $50 ostriches more
than one year old about 2.AO0 acres of
land suitable for ostrich farming.
The conditions were satisfied by the
South Australian Ostrich Company,
which was founded In 1885 with a cap.
ital of $4,000. The company received
land near Port Augusta on Spencer
bay. but in spite of this assistance
the company has never paid divi-
dend. although 1t now possesses LOO
ostriches. all of which were imported
from South Africa. There is a still
larger ostrich farm on the shore of
Lake Albert. and smaller farms are
scattered through the colony.
In New South Wales ostrich farm.
ing was first attempted in 1897. by
Barracluf. who imported six pairs of
ostriches from northern Africa, and
now possesses 81 birds.
Queensland and Victoria possess
only small ostrich farms. which have
NOT produced very encouraging re-
suits. In all there are now about
1000 ostriches In Australia. The In

New York, Feb. l.-Better to use

vocated by former Lieut.. Gov. Sher-
man last night in an address deliv-
cred before the Automobile Club Of

THE deep inland waterway schemes

are baselcss fabric t,>r bond issues of
millions. The only realities visible at
the end of such experiences are writ

lectors' genuine signature.
The long taxes are the most jeal-
ously guarded of all governmental
powers. Suddenly loud clamor arises
that the government and the state
shovel mud out of our inland rivers.
Tight-tisted as we are about taxes, we
voted to buy the most colossal gold
brick ever handed out to Illinois II
the state legislature would keep us
from embarking on the unknown sea
Of public expenditure for such pur-
poses it would safeguard the state

any. and forgiveness for the future
could be given by the people.
Its promoters disguise the con-
cealed taxation by calling the move
ment a means of lowering railroad
rates. The hopa to regulate by Great
ing competing lines is Il delusion.
Farmers who have been sensitive
about hard country road taxes seem
to have overlooked this movement

repair and maintenance cost is less
than inland waterways. How many
votes would $2O,OOO.OOO bond issue
to run a hard road along inland farms
have got?"
