Beef Investigation May
Go Further Than Ma
tiOnaI Company.
FARMERS WITNESSES
Judge Lands Takes Entire
Credit for Originating
the Case.

Chicago. Jan. 25-Other organiza-
tions of the so-called beef trust" than
the National Packing company may be
included in the federal grand jury in
vestigation according to a report cur
rent in the federal building today.
Farmers VIII Have Chance.
According to statement by a gov
ernment official many witnesses from
outside the city will be subpoenaed.
The government will first attempt to
show, IT is said, a combination exists
in the stockyards whereby certain men
decide upon the price to be paid for
cattle on the hoof and that farmers
are forced TO accept that price. II
is expected several stock raising
farmers will be summoned as wit
nesses.
Lands Says Move is His.
Chicago. Jan. 25.-In one of the most
remarkable charges ever delivered to
a federal grand jury Judge Kenesaw
NJ. Lands yesterday formally started
the probe that is to be made into the
alleged combination among the big
Chicago packing concerns in restraint
of trade.
Excoriating the department Of jus
tice at Washington in sizzling language
and referring to certain OF it's members
as governmental functionaries," Judge
Landis deplored in foroeful manner the
forecast published recently in the news
papers concerning the plans Of federal
officials once more TO place the beef
trust" under legal fire and seek the
conviction Of those believed RESPONSE
BILE for the combine that is said to
exist
Wrong to Suspects.
Such disclosures on the part Of fed
eral legal officials and the press, he
asserted, not only tended to obstruct
the orderly administration of justice.
but also inflicted a wrong upon any in
dividual whose conduct was under
scrutiny.
A profound stir was created in the
court room when Judge Lands in
formed the members of the grand jury
that he reached the determination some
time ago to call the attention Of that
body to alleged circumstances and
conditions" connected with the fresh
meat industry. In this connection he
what was construed TO be
a verbal lashing TO United States Dis
trict Attorney Edwin w. Sims by point
ing out that he called the attention Of
the latter Jan. 20 last to his plan OF ad-
vising the grand jurors to consider
the subject and that two days there
after there came long dispatches from
informing the public that
the department Of justice was primed
for a wholesale attack on the beef
barons" that probably would land some
of them behind the bars.
Nature of Facts Kept Back.
What information relative TO ques-
methods on the part Of the
packers reached Judge Landis the lat
ter did not disclose, although he made
it plain that the reports were of such
character that he deemed It his duty
to call the attention of the jurors to
the matter in order that they might
give it the attention it required.

Lenders of money were said to have
taken cognizance of recent events
pointing to pool manipulating, such as
the Hooking coal episode, and to be
withdrawing credits when such stocks
figured as collateral. The liquidation
thus forced caused a precipitate tum-

there was a pause in the flood of sell

Might Avert Trade WAR.
Tariff relations between the United
States and Germany have reached al
most an acute stage, and it occurs to
me that the commerce of our country
is likely to suffer severely if Germany's
present attitude is maintained" said
President LaLanne of Philadelphia. in
an address at the opening of the con-
vention. "It is possible" continued
the speaker, 'for the National Board
of Trade to get into friendly touch
with the leading trade bodies of Ger
many and accomplish results which
perhaps might aid the state department
and department of commerce and
labor.
Need More LabOrers.
Another very important subject is
immigration. We need more laborers;
more house servants. The American
people live better than the other peo-
pie of the earth. 1 think there should
be wise laws passed for better distri-
button of immigrants who come here.
Now most immigrants are rushed off

RACING AUTOS PAUSE FOR
DIRGE TO DEAD COMRADE

ATLANTA, NOV. "A drama new
to American automobile racing was
enacted on the Atlanta speedway iust
before the start Of the 100 mile race
yesterday.
With the strains of Nearer Nv
God, to Thee" floating from the grand
stand band, nine racing cars lined
up at the starting wire, their engines
stilled for fifteen minutes, while their
drivers with barred heads waited for
the last prayer to be said in another
part of the city at the funeral of
AL Livingstone. driver Of the Nation
al car, who was killed in practice
for the race two days ago.
After the hymn there was a long
silence, respected by all the thou
sands in the inclosure. The drivers
stared hard at the hoods Of their ma
chimes. Suddenly the band started
two-step, the racing engines cough
ed and Livingstone, the "king of the
dirt track" had passed forever from
speedway events. New speed kings
were throwing the clutches into mo-
sition and the big race was on.
The race, wong by Gelnaw I'm an

SIGNS TO
BOOST CITY
Beard Of Trade Hears That
Four More Boards
Will Go Up
NEED MORE EMPLOYEES
FOR CITY INDUSTRIES

Impressed with the advantage Of
the large sign on the Wilmington Gas
Companys tank along the three rail-
roads to advertise the city, the Board
of Trade last night was informed that
four more signs boosting Wilmington
are 70 be placed along the railroad
north Of the city. James II. Mehaffey,
chairman of the industrial committee,
reported about the plans. The report
says.
"The subject OF having display signs
located along the railroads entering
the city Of Wilmington has been thor
oughly considered by your commit
tee, and a concession has been secured
from the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company TO illuminate four
Of the signs, one located at each of
the following points: Claymont, Belle
vue, Gordon Heights and Landlith.
Various statements have been sug-
gested as to what should be placed
upon these signs, and your committee
has prepared what in its estimation
would prove effective In the way OF
advertising the city from the stand
point Of inducing manufacturing con-
Germs to locate I'm this city, as well
as to have persons become residents
Of the city. An effort has been con-
centrated to have one of these signs
erected at Landlith; site has been
selected for same and permission OF

railroad. This sign contains an in
scription as follows. Wilmington,

The committee has prepared an
elaborate blank, which agents or
owners OF manufacturing properties
or sites will be asked TO Ill in. and
a complete list Of such sites will be
kept on file. Continuings the report
says
The subject OF the lack Of female
help for cigar manufacturers. silk

has been thoroughly considered by
your committee, and various sugges-
tions as to how the help should be
