Chicago. Jan. 24.-The action of
the federal grand jury into the meth
DDS employed by four big local meat
packing com panies was temporarily
halted today when it was announced
that some routine matters would be
disposed of first. 1t was explained
that the change had been made be-
cause the cases against the packers
were of such grave Importance it was
deemed best the mem bers should IA
miliarize themselves with grand jury
procedure before considering the evil
dence.
Every precaution was taken to
keep the identity of witnesses secret.
A large number of secret service op-
eratives have apparently been brought
here from other cities and it is be-
lieved they will be used in serving
subpoenas as we'll as supplying evil
dence gathered during the investi-
cation. Only two subpoenas were
turned over to United States Marshal
L. T. Hoy today. Mr.. Hoy refused to
give any information concerning the
identity of the persons on whom the
subpoenas We're to be served.
AT the city offices of the National
Packing company and Armour & Co.,
it was said no subpoenas had been
served.

It is the desire of the exposition to
choose a location as near as possible
to the center of trade and population.
Both Kansas City and St. Louis have
been mentioned for serious considera-
ton.
I. d. Graham. w1ru is on the board
of directors of the new million dol
lar exposition company, believes that
such a fair would mean much for To
peka and Kansas. as it would give
the state an opportunity to show the
nation her vast wealth in an agricul-
tural way and also let the people of
the country know that Kansas will
some time have to be counted among
the manufacturing states.
The exposition is not a worlds fair
or International in any manner, but
distinctly prominent national exhibit
which will present all the resources
and handicraft of the United States
before her people not in the form of
statistics. but in a tangible reality
A large volume of the preparatory
work has already been accomplished
and as quickly as a definite location
has been decided upor the work of
construction will begin. The governors
of thirty-six of the states have person.
ally accepted the position of vice
president for their respective states,
promising every assistance possible,
and much enthusiasm prevails every
where over the enterprise.
Among the prominent men who
compose the advisory board are James
Wilson, secretary of the United States
department of agriculture, and Edwin
A. Start, secretary American Forestry
association.
The opportunities of the big fair as
set forth by the promoters are:
"Such an exposition as the company
proposes to hold annually is to be a
university of education. veritable
clearing house of information. a place
where the product of the soil, mines
and factory can be exhibited. where ev-
cry man and woman'S best effort can be
shown, competing for prizes and d.
plomas as a reward for the effort put
forth and also the special privilege Tor
an exchange of ideas. The principles
of the above will be one of the first
considerations of the company"
Kansas as possibly the greatest ag-
ricultural state in the Union would
undoubtedly benefit largely by an ex-
Dosition of this character. The state
has never been advertised in a syste-
matte manner as has California and
this would be most excellent oppor-
tunity to let the people of the country
kuow what a remarkable state We have
iron, an agricultural viewpoint at
least.
one or two of the promoters of the
Kansas State Fair company have ex-
dressed themselves as believing that
such an exposition would be a great
thing for the state fair in Topeka as 1t
IvoIIid tend to stimulate interest in
fairs IT would emphasize the educa-
+ional value of a large fair and expo
sition, and aid in getting the people
of Kansas in the fair habit.
The progenitor of the prominent ma
tional idea is NJ. E. Alexis OF Hart
ford Conn, who has been made direc-
TOR general of the exposition. He is
~ rtIc11IfI1rist and landscape artist of
wide experience.

TOUCHED FOR $4,000.
Bank President Loses Large Sum by
Being Polite.

New York, Jan. 24.-Warner NJ. Van
Norden, the banker and president of
the Van Ncrden Trust company, was
held UP and robbed of $4,000 last
Wednesday night as he was leaving
the Waldore-Astoria.
With the arraignment today of Bes-
sic Roberts. alias Kitty Dowdell of
Chicago. and Annie Williams, alias
Chicago Maggie came the story of
how Mr.. Van Norden's exceeding gra-
ciousness cost him his fat pocketbook.
He left the hotel and was about to
take his automobile when he saw two
women walking along Fifth avenue
One of the women dropped a, pocket
book and Mr.. Van Norden politely pick
ed it up and returned it.
A heavy slap on the back was the
somewhat startling manner in which
one OF the women signalized her
thanks. There was a profusion of
thanks, and bows, and one of the wo-
men tainted suddenly on Mr.. Van Nor
6en's shoulder.
She quickly recovered and the banker
went home in his machine. Then he
discovered the $4,000 was missing.
The women have been held in 100000
bail for further examination.
