INVESTIGATION OF
BEEF TRUST IS
UNDER WAY
Started Through information
from Judge Lands
HE CAUTIONS GRAND JURY
To Pay No Attention to Newspaper
Report That Government Had
Taken Up Case

Chicago, Jan 25.-Judge Kenesaw
NJ. Lands OF the United States Dis
trict Court, in his charge to the
grand jury assembled yesterday to
investigate the methods of the so
called beef trust, declared it was
through information furnished by
him that the present proceeding was
started.
Judge Lands. also said that after
he had notified the United States at
tomey in Chicago on January 20, he
was surprised to see on January 20
notices in the newspapers, coming
ostensbly from Washington, that the
government officials there had order
ed the investigation
1t was announced that action on
the beef trust investigation would be
postponed for few days until some
docket cases had been considered.
1t was explained the present inves-
tigation was of such Importance that
it would be better if the jury were
given a little time in which to famil-
iarize itself with the routine of the
grand jury procedure before consid-
ering the evidence to be submitted in
the packers case.
Having in mind the duty Of the
district attorney" said Judge Lands,
/ notified that officer on the 10th of
the present month that on your as
sembling here today, the court would
direct your attention to the subject
of the present investigation.
1T is source of profound regret
that two days later there began wide
spread newspaper publication of mat
ter purposing to come from Wash
ington and expressing the intention
and determination of certain govern
mental functionaries there as to this
proceeding. and alleging, in that con-
nectiOn, their purpose with respect to
certain individuals residing in this
district
Without assuming here officially
that there is anything behind the
publications except journalistic en-
terprise, | caution you to pay no at
tention whatever to them, as it will
be your duty TO conscientiously re-
frain from making any disclosures Of
matters transpiring in your jury
room >
Various reports of alleged circum-
stances and conditions in connection
with the fresh meat industry have
come to me. While the representa-
lions set forth in these complaints,
even if true, do not necessarily imply
violation of federal law, they are OF
4 such character as to clearly impose
upon the court the duty of directing
your attention to the matter to the
end that the subject may have at
your hands the investigation and con-
I sideration its importance requires.
After reading the antitrust statute,
Judge Lands said: You will per
ceive that intent is the essence of
this offense-that is to say. there
must be a conscious purpose on the
part of the accused to suppress COM
petition by cooperation to that end.
/ The law does not concern itself with
mere coincidence Of conduct in the
absence of such intent"

him. But the Republicans of my dis
trict do their own thinking; they are
safe and sane. For 10. these many
years they have been recognized
throughout the nation as a type of
vigorous, incorporating, yet pro-
Eessive republicans. Their deliber-
ate judgment upon question of this
kind is entitled to the utmost con-
sideration."
DO you think the Globe cores
pendent asked, that the sentiment
in favor Of a change of speakership
in the next house extends to other
parts of the country"
Most assuredly l do" Mr.. Foster
replied During the past months l
have had opportunity to talk with
not only the members of the house,
but representative republicans from
many parts of the country. | believe
that throughout the middle west the
desire for change is more intense
than in Vermont. For instance,
am told by various members OF the
Ohio delegation in the house that
this is the foremost issue in Ohio to-
day and that many of them have
been called upon already as candi-
dates for denomination to declare
themselves upon this question. In
fact, | believe that there is very
general demand by the republicans
throughout the entire country for the
selection of a new speaker in the
next house. In view of all this the
welfare of the party and the prestige
of the house require a change of
leadership therein" -
Does this sentiment go to the
length of demanding the retirement
of Mr. Cannon from public life?'
Not at all. The people of Mr..
Cannon's district can continue TO
send him to congress just as long as
they please. EX-Speaker Keifer has
set him a worthy example. That
gentleman is doing faithful service
on the floor of the house. No one
familiar with the facts denies the
valuable services Speaker Cannon
rendered in years gone by on the
floor of the house and as chairman
of the committee on appropriations.
There is no humiliation in his re-
turning to the floor and there is no
reason why he should not continue
to serve his district just as Elk
Speaker Keifer is serving the people
of his district"
What particular advantage is to
be gained by the election OF some
man other than Mr.. Cannon speaker
of the next house?"
First of all it will show that the
house of representatives is not a
one-man body. Justly or unjustly,
the feeling is widespread and deep
seated throughout the country that
the house of representatives, com
posed as it is of the representatives
of 9O000,000 of people, is dominated
by one man. 1t is unfortunate for
the house that this feeling should ex-
list We have an abundance of ma
terial from which to select speaker,
| could name a number of men COM
ing from various states of the union,

PARIS SITUATION
IS BECOMING
DESPERATE
River Seine Still Rising and
Floods Fill Streets
RAIN STILL FALLING
People Forced to Leave Their Homes
and Food is Becoming
Scarce

Paris, jan 25.-The situation re-
sulting from floods is fast becoming
desperate. The premier and minis
ter of the interior made this declar-
alton last night. All conditions indi-
Gated a further rise of several inches
of the river Seine. and the cold rain,
which still continues, is causing in
tense suffering among those who
have been rendered homeless with
little prospect of relief
Mr.. Millerand, minister of public
works, after a tour of inspection, said
that if the rise continued nothing
could prevent a deplorable disaster
and the flooding of the most popu-
lous quarters in Paris. The meas
ures which had been taken appeared
to him to be adequate, for the pres
ent, but only for the present"
Paris is threatened with an inn
mediate and complete tie-up. The
stoppage of transports has raised the
prices of food, which is becoming
scarce. The supply of water in sew
eral ACCOMPLISHMENTS has been Grip
pied, as the pumping engines have
stopped work and the reservoirs are
low. The authorities assert that
drinking water is assured, but there
is no water for the industrial SER
vices, which are practically suspend
ed. The question of transportation
is becoming more and more difficult,
and most of the remaining lines OF
the subway were forced to close
down tonight because of lack of cleo
trio current.
The Red Cross society is4 organiz-
! ing aid for the sufferers. Subscrip-
tons have been opened and the
theaters are arranging benefits.

dent BRAND introduced bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the relief of the

FOSTER OUT FOR A
NEW SPEAKER Of
THE HOUSE
Says It Is Time For Uncle Joe
To Retire
DESIRE OF HIS CONSTITUENTS
Vermont Congressman Makes His
Announcement in the Presence Of
Cannon

The Boston Globe of Monday had
the following from its special cores
pendent at Washington.
Washington, Jan. 2.-Representa-
tive William Mckinley of Illinois,
chairman of the republican congress
sional committee, gave a dinner on
Friday to the members of the newly
elected committee, and although vice
President Sherman and Speaker Can
non are net i.l nbers of the commit
tee they Were present as Mr.. McKin-
ley's guests.
Representative ID. j Foster is the
Vermont member of the committee
and when he was called upon by the
chairman he said frankly that New
England wanted a man other than
Mr.. Cannon as speaker of the next
house, a declaration of insurgency
that rather took away the breath of
chairman Mckinley and some of the
other close friends of the speaker.
1t is said that Speaker Cannon re-
piled to Mr.. Foster in an angry and
vehement speech, denouncing his enc
mics and critics. While Mr.. Cannon
did not say in exact words that he
would again offer himself as a candi-
date for the speakership, his manner
was so defiant that those who heard
him construed Mr.. Cannon's words to
mean that he proposed again to be a
candidate If the next house has a
republican majority.
The dinner was private and things
that were said there were not sup
posed to be repeated outside, but yes
terday what Mr. Foster said was
much discussed by members of con-
gress, who regarded it as significant
that leading New England member
should be of the same mind as the
men from the west and openly re-
volt against the Cannon rule.
Mr. Foster commands the respect
of the house and enjoys its conf
dence. He is naturally a loyal re-

publican, as Vermont men are wont
10 be: and equally as a matter OF
course he is conservative. for Yer
mont is not a state of radical ideas
but despite his loyalty TO his party
and his conservatism, he finds that
Mr. Cannon is more of a load than
the party can conveniently carry, and
he is courageous enough openly to
declare his views.
Mr.. Foster is now serving his fifth
term in the house of the general sat.
isfactiOn of his constituents. He is
chairman of the committee on ex-
penditures in the department of com
merce and labor, and a member OF
the committees on foreign affairs
and reform in the civil service, which
shows his standing in the house
Mr., Foster was today told by the
Globe correspondent that as there
were a good many rumors in circula-
ton, some of them highly sensational
perhaps it might be convenient
thing if he would say just exactly
what took place at the dinner
81 was the first speaker at the ban
quet' Mr. Foster said. NO intima-
ton had been given me that | should
be asked to speak, and when the
chairman introduced me saying that
he wished me to tell them what New
England wanted said substantial
ly as follows:
81 shall be perfectly frank with
you. New England wants two
things first, a republican house in
the next congress to assist in fulfill
ing our party pledges and in carry
ing out President Taft's legislative
program; and, second new speaker
in the next house of representatives.
The people of my district, and in fact
of the entire state, are intensely in
terested in the question Of a change
of the leadership in the house. They
say that at the close of the present
congress Speaker Cannon will be rs
years old that he will have been
speaker eight years, as long as we
permit any man TO be President con
tinuously and longer than any speak
er heretofore has held that Office con
tinuously. They insist that aside
from all other considerations these
facts constitute a sufficient reason
for the selection of new speaker in
the next house. They believe that
there should be a change in the lead
ership of the house at least as often
as once in eight years, and | say to
you squarely that If l am a member
of the next house | shall represent
my constituents in this behalf to the
best of my ability.
I'm speaking thus frankly | want to
assure the members of the commit
tee that | am not influenced in the
slightest degree by-personal motives.
was the first man in New England
to announce myself in the public
press in favor of Mr.. Cannon when
speaker Henderson withdrew. While
have frequently differed from him
upon political questions and political
methods, whenever any question per
sonal TO himself has been before the
house / have always been loyal &c

any one of whom would make a great
broad-gaged speaker and in whom
the people of the country would have
confidence and under whose leader
ship the house would throw OFF the
atmosphere that today envelops it
like a pail.
incidentally l would call attention
to the fact that the next house will
occupy the new hall which is being
planned for it. 1t is believed that
this hall will be much better adapted
to the needs of the membership of
the house than is the present one.
One of the chief purposes is making
the proposed changes In the hall of
the house was to secure better order
In the course of some remarks before
the house last winter | called atten-
ton TO the disgraceful lack of order
in the proceedings of the house. II
is Of the utmost Importance that
when We take possession of the new
hall we should start out with de-
gree Of order commensurate with the
dignity and Importance Of the house
as legislative body. 1t will be much
easier for a new speaker to accom-
plish the desired results than ii
would be for Speaker Cannon.
From every point of view the
selection of new speaker in the
next house means progress for the
house. II would result in restoring
in a lager measure public confidence
in the house. II would inspire the
members of the house with a larger
feeling of responsibility.
THE American people demand that
the house of representatives, should
assume and discharge the RESPONSE
bility which belongs to it. They in
sist that not one man or one set of
men should be responsible for legisla-
tion or the failure to legislate. Dur
| ing the past few months we have ac-
complished much in this direction
The adoption of the rule providing
for Calendar Wednesday has wrought
revolution in the procedure of the
house. For the first time since the
, adoption of the Reed rules the
house itself has entire control over
bills reported by the several commit
tees and the indirect results of the
adoption of this new rule are very
apparent 1t has taught the commit
tees how necessary it is that bills re-
ferred to them for consideration
shall be given thoughtful attention.
1t has tended to liberalize the procee-
dure of these committees. Members
today hesitate to assist in pigeon
holing bills referred to their commit
tees for consideration. In short, the
time is ripe for long step forward
under new speaker"
Mr.. Foster modestly makes light of
his share in bringing about change
in the rules, but he played no small
part in reforming the rules and max
ing them expedite instead of retard
business.

MEAT PRICES TOO
HIGH FOR MRS.
HETTY GREEN
Serving Of Beet at so Cents
too Expensive
TOOK HALlBUT AT IS CENTS
Crusade Against High Cost Of Living
Goes into Effect Today-5utter
Prices Come Down

New York, Jan. 25.-Mrs. Hetty
Green who has more millions than
most persons have hundreds, declar-
ed yesterday that meat is too dear
for her, at present prices. Mrs
Green entered a modest uptown res
taurant and scanned the bill of fare.
Steak she found at 80 cents a portion,
and roast lamb and roast beef at 35
cents. She took halibut at Is cents
Have you joined the boycott?" ask
ed friend No" said Mrs. Green,
but meat is too high. You don't get
your moneys worth. People really
can't afford to eat it. There are
other things just as good and cheap
err"
There appear to be many who
agree with Mrs. Green. In response
to a lighter demand, the price of
beef in the Brooklyn wholesale dis
tricts declined twenty per cent yes
terday and pork loins slumped sym
pathetically.
Cleveland, Jan. 25.-The boycott on
high priced meat began in earnest
here yesterday. This was the day
set for the beginning of the strike in
the original movement although thou
sands began to fast several days ago.
1t is estimated that fully 125,00O
persons in this city have either stop
ped the use of meat entirely or cut
down materially on their allowances.
Petitions asking Congress to i'm
pose an export duty upon meat are
in circulation. Other petitions ask
ing the Ohio legislature to limit the
period of lawful cold storage to thir-
ty days will be circulated this week.
The wholesale price of beef dropped
off 10 cents a hundred pounds and
there was 20 cent reduction on
pigs.
Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 25.-Nine bus
mess men of Des Moines headed by
Postmaster l.. l. Myerly, Colonel H
b. Hedge vice president of the Cen
trail State bank, and County Treasur
er George l.. Dobson made up a fund
with which they will establish co
operative meat market. They plan
to sell meat to the poor for one yeaI
at profit of six per cent above the
wholesale price.
