BEEF TRUST GETS
REv|EW ON ORDER
To BRING BOOKS
Justices in Trenton Allow Ger
tiOrari of Order Signed by
Justice SwayZe.

TRENTON, March 16.-Justices Reed,
T~renchard and Minturn. sitting as a
branch of the state supreme Court,
this afternoon ON the application OF
counsel for the Western packing COM
panies, granted a rule for cause to be
shown why a writ Of certiorari should
not issue to carry up for review JUS
tice ~Swayze's order directing the COM
palics to bring their books into New
Jersey for inspection by the Hudson
county grand jury.
The rule was made returnable next
Wednesday, and Justice Reed an
nounced that argument on that day
should go into the merits Of the case,
so hat there would be a speedy de-
cision by the Supreme Court in order
to facilitate any further appeal to the
Court of Errors n Appeals.
Justice Swayze today issued an order
directing the National Packing Com
pany, Swift & Co. Armour & Co. and
Morris & Co, to bring their books into
New Jersey on or before March % for
the purpose of examination by the
Hudson county grand jury in the mat
ter of charges against these packing
companies.
The case will unquestionably go to
the Court of Appeals before the com
panies will consent to bring their books
into New Jersey.
JERSEY CITY, March 16.-Lemuel
B. Patterson, vice-president of the Ma
tional Packing Company, of Chicago,
before Judge Robert Carey in the Court
of Common Pleas today said not
guilty to the charge of conspiracy as
found recently by the grand jury. With
Mr.. Patterson was his counsel, Edward
T.. Smith, law partner of former Sena-
tor William D. Edwards.
Nh. Patterson's plea was made con-
tingent upon the privilege of withdraw
ing it later or demurring from the in
dictment. Bail was fixed in he sum OF
$500, which was furnished by the Ma
tional Surety Company.
Patterson is the first of the indicted
Beef Trust officials to appear volun-
tarily, and it is not known whether the
others indicted with him will follow his
lead or not. Mr.. Patterson's appear
ance here today was as much Of q
surprise TO his counsel as to anyone
else.
The grand jury will meet again to-
day, and it is expected that a new
line of Investigation viii be under
taken in the Beef Trust inquiry.
CHICAGO, March characterization
of the packing-house industry by the
Federal grand jury was temporarily
halted today by the n%on-arrival Of sew
eral New York witnesses. Their iden-
tity was kept secret, but it vas re-
Dorted that thew would testify regard
ing the $15, 900, 900 loan which made pos
sible the organization of the National
Packing Company. No other witnesses
being present, the jury adjourned until
tomorrow.

UTILITIES BILL
UNDER HOT FIRE
BEFORE SENATE

at last asked Senator Gebhardt how
much time he and his Democratic coli
leagues wanted in which to prepare
amendments. Mr.. Gebhardt insisted
that the matter go over until next
Tuesday, but the Republicans pro-
tested.
Finally. after much discussion, the
second reading of the bill was set for
4 o'clock this afternoon. This gave the
Democratic senator's three hours IN
which to consider the matter. The Sem
ate then adjourned until the hour set
for taking up the measure on second
reading.
When the news of the preliminary
Senate utilities battle reached the
House it was decided to defer any move
in the lower branch until late this
afternoon.
Senator Wakelee, in outlining his pro-
gram on the measure, said:
my plan is tc have the bill put
through second reading. and, OF
course, If it is possible, passed this
day 1t can be sent to the Governor be-
fore we adjourn for the week"
The changes the Democrats want
maze IN the plll are iitoHucu "
strengthen 1t. They will offer amend
ments to give the public utilities conn
mission power to make rates n to
issue orders instead of recommends
tons"
Another amendment proposed would
bar any man from membership in the
commission who holds stock in any
public utility company.
Still another Democratic amendment
would specifically provide that the COM
mission shall have full authority to
enforce orders and fix penalties for
failure to obey such orders.
The Democrats have found that the
bill says nothing about when 1t shall
become operative. so that as 1t now
stands IT would not go into effect until
July a, 1910.
Assemblyman Pierce, as introducer of
the bill in the House, expects to issue a
public statement which he says will
be very interesting
Governor Fort this afternoon said he
was opposed to the increase i'll salary
proposed in the bill but felt that in
main it followed his recommendations
in his annual message. He insists that
he has from the first been DESTROYS oil
seeing the railroad commission con-
tinued as the Public Utilities Commits
sion. and would appoint the members
OF that board to the new commission,
even if the bill did not provide for
their continuance in Office. He has de-
cided to make no general statement or
the bill until after the Legislature ha
acted upon it.
He will sign IL. however.
Representatives Of the Standard Oi
Company here today are rejoicing be
cause their company vas eliminated
from the bills operations yesterda,
during the conference In the governor
Office. Colonel Charles w. Fuller. lob
byist for the Standard Oil, said tina
he was to be congratulated.

HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop It.

1T was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum a trial, but my
nerves we're SO shattered that l was
q nervous wreck and of course that
means all kinds of ais.
AT first l thought bicycle riding
caused it and I gave it up, but my con-
dition remained unchanged. l did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the
trouble for l was very fond of it. At
that time a friend came to live with
us, and l noticed that after he had
been with us a week he would not
drink his coffee any more. asked him
the reason. He replied, I have not had
q headache since l left off drinking cof-
fee, some months ago, till last week,
when / began again, here at your table.
I don't e how anyone car like coffee,
anyway, after drinking Postum!'
Il said nothing, but at once ordered
a package of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced hat coffee caused his suffer
ing, SO he returned to Postum, con-
WINGED that coffee was an enemy, in
stead of a friend, and he is troubled
no more with insomnia.
Il, myself, have gained s pounds in
weight, and my nerves have ceased to
culver. 1t seems SO easy nov to quit
coffee that caused our aches and ails
