P|NCHOT TEST|F|ES
FORMER CHIEF FORESTER AGAIN A WITNESS BEFORE COM
 MiTTEE OF INQUIRY.
SENT CLAWS TO THE PRESIDENT
Was Deeply Impressed by What the Inspector Had Told Him at Spokane and Thought Mir. Taft Should Know of 1t.

Washington, Mar 2.-When the Pinchot-Ballinger committee of in quiry met in the Senate Office building there was pending the question as to whether or not Clifford Pinchot, the witness on the stand, should be al- lowed to give his version of conyersa. tions had with President Taft. Coun- sel for Mir. Pnchot finally said he would not press for a ruling, and the matter was dropped
 When the public hearing opened At torney Pepper began to question Mir Pinchot as to the sequence of events, following July l, 1909, when the ex. forester said he first heard of the Gun ningham claims through forest officials in the West. When he heard what his subordinates in Washington had done at Glavis request looking to post ponement of the hearings of the Gun ningham claims, he approved thor oughly
 Asked if there was anything unusual in the interference of the forest ser vice, Mir. Pinchot read a letter signed by President Roosevelt May IT, 1905, directing the secretary of the interior co cooperate with the forestry ser vice as to lands in forest reserves and 10 adopt the services findings as far IS possible.
 The witness next told of his inter view with Glavis at Spokane, August }, 1909. The meeting was not by ap- pointment and MT Pinchot said he possibly had met Glavis once before. he was not sure. Glavis laid all his and spoke of publishing the whole story.
 T was deeply impressed by what Glayis said and urged him to go to the president I did this because l believed scandal would arise, as it since has arisen, and I thought the president ought to have an opportun- ity to protect himself and his admin istration.o
 MT. Pincbot read in evidence the letter of introduction he gave Glavis to the president. In this letter he said he had known Glavis for several years The witness explained again that he believed he had met Glavis once be- fore; at any rate, he said, he had known of him for several years.
 The witness here read into the evil dence the full text of letter written to him by President Taft from Bev- erly, September 13. 1909. at the same time he wrote 10 Secretary Ballinger, exonerating him from the Glavis charges.
 In this letter Mir. Taft urged Pinchot not to support the Glavis charges. and decfsred that the man was not to be relied upon.

A SYMPATHY STRIKE.
OTHER PHILADELPHIA UNIONS WILL GO OUT TO HELP
 STREET CAR MEM.
NEXT SATURDAY THE DATE SET
Delegates Representing 14o Locals Took Part in the Meeting Which Voted to Tie Up 100 Industries In voIvine 100000 Men.

Philadelphia, Pa, Mar. Lone hun. dred thousand members of labor unions in this city will go on strike next Saturday in sympathy with the street car men.
 The general strike was ordered by 700 wildly enthusiastic delegates from 40 locals, who had met to decide the next step in the trolley mems battle, which for the past two or three days has been going against them. The only question al issue at the meeting as soon developed, was not whether there would be a strike. That went through with a whoop and a roar. Only few of the ltra-conservatfves spoke against it, and their words were nalf-hearted. The question was when shall the strike begin?" C. 0. Pratt, the carmen's chief. and other big leaders from out of town who had come on to view the situ- ation, spoke more coolly and pointed out that strike like this one is pro- posed 10 be such strike as has sell dom, if ever, been conducted any where, should not be entered into too hastily. This calmer counsel was ac- cepted. after the first blaze of enthu- siasm had quieted bit and the date was set for Saturday.
 The monster demonstration which Is planned to go along with 1.-the parade of the 100000 unionists upon city hall-will probably be held on that day, too.
 The news that union labor was go- ing to fight for its life spread swiftly about the city and was received ev- anywhere, save in the manufacturers club and other haunts of labor em- ployeis, with big hurrah. The ardor of the car strikers and their sympa- thizers, which had been dying out since the middle of the week, was kindled.
 Rioting started again and there were clashes between the neighbor- hood mobs and the police in a dozen sections of the town. One boy was killed in the worst of these, another was fatally hurt and there was casualty list altogether throughout the city of about 60.
 The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company officials, when they heard the news, declared that they would still stand pat. We will not give in to the strikers terms" said Presi- dent Chas O. Kruger. We are not concerned about any strike action they may take.
 To show the company's defiance he ordered that all it's cars be manned by strike breakers of whom 1t is said there is more than 5000 here
 Our normal service will be com pletely restored" Mir. Kruger de- clared.
 This will mean trouble surely If in- dications amount to anything. The police thus far have been able to man 300 or GOO cars that have been running, but they can't guard 1000 cars. The strikebreakers, who are all ways lot of hard fighters, will have to take care of themselves and will no doubt try to do it. A very war like week appears to be in prospect

ID ARREST PACKERS
WARRANTS ISSUED FOR INDICTED DIRECTORS OF THE MA
 TloNAL COMPANY.
CHARGE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY
Papers Issued in New Jersey and Sent West for Service on Beef Trust of- fcials-A Move to Dissolve the Cor. poration.

New York, Mar. 2.-Warrants were issued in Jersey City for the arrest on a charge of criminal conspiracy in restraint of trade of the twenty-one directors of the beef trust who were in- dicted last week. The warrants call for the immediate apprehension of the men whom the Hudson county grand jury believe are responsible for the high price of beef. Among them are millionaire members of the Swift, Ar mour and Morris families of Chicago.
 The warrants were put in the hands of the sheriff for immediate service and will be forwarded by him to off cers in the West, who will make ar rests as rapidly as they caH find the men wanted The governor of New Jersey will asy for the extradition of the indicted men who will not come willingly to Jersey City and give bail.
 James F. Bathgate, Jr., general East ern manager for the National Packing company with headquarters at New ark, is the only one of the twenty one packers indicted who lives in New Jersey. He has residence in Orange. Under Sheriff Nicholas P. Wedin started out to look for him when Robert E. Hudspeth, his attor- ney, appeared before Judges Cary and Blair and offered to give bail
 Ball was fixed at $2,500, this amount being considered sufficient in Bath gates ease as he has large property interests in New Jersey. Judge Blair announced that the amount of bail would be no criterion in the cases of the rich western packers who are un- der indictment.
 Prosecutor Pierre P. Garven has gone to Trenton to apply to Supreme Court Justice Swazey for an order dissolving the corporation of the Ma tional Packing company because of its refusal to produce the minutes of directors meetings.
 We are going after the big fel- lows who have been indicted" said MT. Garven. 'T see by the papers they look upon onr proceedings as joke Why don't they come into New Jersey and show us the point in the joke. They will find 1t is not such laugh ing matter before we are through with them"
 The buyers started in by bidding five to ten cents higher than the clos ing hog prices Friday. By the middle of the session the buying had become a disorganized scramble to get the slender offerings. The later bidding was less enthusiastic No break in prices developed, possibly by reason of the Chicago market, which reached S990.
 The local market has seen a steady lse this month of $1.05 to $115 in hog rices and the traders and packing ouse buyers say higher prices are oming The advance is ascribed to hort receipts.
 Before noon lambs brought s9.15, alY five cents below the record, es-
 hlished ct s920 Friday.

4 GREAT BATTLESH|P
SECRETARY MEYER PLANS TO BUILD A MONSTER EN-
 CINE OF WAR.
IMPROBABLE TO WHOLE FLEET
The Floating Fortress as Planned Would Have Displacement of 34,- GOO Tons and Carry 12 14-lnch Guns Largest in World.

Washington, Mar 1.-The sceptre and title of the Mistress of the Seas 10 pass from Great Britain to the United States.
 The construction of a floating fort ress impregnable to whole modern fleet.
 A battleship which by the power of its own guns will keep all other mod ern battleships out of their ordinary range of effectiveness.
 These are the three predominant features of the monster American bat tleship. The first intimation of which was given by Secretary Meyer of the navy to the naval committee of the house.
 The salient physical features of the greatest battleship in the world will be these: Its displacement will be S4,00O tons. It will carry 12 14-inch guns.
 It will have six turrets which will be protected by 11-nch armor.
 Its main armor belt and it's citadel armor will be of the 11-inch type.
 It will be provided with a new de- sign of torpedo defense battery, the new design being an extremely large number of five-inch guns, the total to be between 30 and 35. It's cost will approximate s1s.00O,OOO.
 It will be provided with torpedo tubes of course. but the torpedoes will be of the new design which are now being tried by the bureau of ordnance of the navy department.
 Each of the 14-ton guns will fire an armor piercing shell weighing l,4O0 pounds. As the 12 14-inch guns will be in turrets it will be possible to fire in broadsides all of these guns. This means that it will be possible to hurl broadside whose sum total of metal will be 1G.sO0 pounds.
 As the 12-inch gun is effective at 5000 yards. or five miles, it is esti- mated that the 14-inch gun will be effective 61k miles.
 This will keep all existing battle ships at arms length because if the SHipS Ol nOStlle Heet should come within the 61s mile limit they would be met by shell that can pierce TO- inch armor, while their own guns would be ineffective at miles, not only on 10-inch armor. but of neces- sity on the>11-inch armor of the Amer ican uper-dreadnaught
 As this battleship is to be unique in naval construction, the naval con- struction board has not decided on the length and beam, but the breadth increases very slightly, after the 21,- 900 type of the Florida and Utah, per thousand ton of increase
 It is estimated by the experts that battleship such as that which Sec retary Meyer suggests must be built for no other reason than to exceed the two colossal wardogs of 32,000 tons each which the intelligence of. flee learns are to be built by Japan. This was explained confdentially to the naval committee and special stress was laid on the torpedo defense feature of the floating fortress,

 Go Unrewarded.

Texarkana, Feb. 28.-Burglars entered the wholesale grain com pany of Laws & Downie, corner Broad and West Elm streets and made an unsuccessful effort to break open the office safe. A drill was used, but there were no signs of dynamite.
 The burglars did not carry off any goods. Their sole, object seemed to be to get into the safe. The combination lock of the safe was ruined and the safe itself was rendered practically worth less.
 Entrance into the building was effected by breaking window of the warehouse.
