TO COUNTY CHAIRMEN.
Duties of Officials in Pri-
mary Arrangements.

San Antonio, Texas, May 10-To the
Chairmen of the county Democratic Elk
ecutive Committees of Texas: Dear Sirs-
Information has reached the headquar-
tiers of the state democratic executive
committee through letters and from
other reliable sources, of plans being
formulated by which the time -honored
usages of the party are to be ign ored in
certain counties, to the extent of permit
ting republicans and other alien ele-
ments to participate in the general
democratic primary election, to be held
on July 20, 1910. We consider it our
duty to warn all democrats, particularly
county chairmen and election officers
against countenancing, in any manner,
the carrying out of SUCH conspiracy. To
permit republicans or other known oppo-
nents of the organized democracy to
participate in the actions or the councils
of the democratic party would be in vio-
lation of the spirit, if not the letter, of
the primary election law of the state
and in defiance of the well established
custom and usage of the party in Texas.
Such violations would be scandal on
the name OF democracy and tend to party
Generalization and political debauchery
You, as county chairman, are instruct
ed to inform all presiding officers of
election in the different counties to use
every effort possible to keep republicans
and others not democrats out of the
democratic primaries on July %. Where
there is any reasonable question as to a
mans democracy, presiding officers
should challenge him and administer to
him, under oath, the party test, printed
at the head of the official ballot. A list
should be kept of all such challenged
and sworn voters.
1t should not be forgotten that the
primaries to be held on July % are in
tended, solely and alone, for democrats
and no person of any other political par
ty or organization should participate
therein, or be permitted to participate if
,he attemps to dose. Respectfully,
A. B. STOREY,
Chairman State Democratic Executive
Committee of Texas.

since he was stricken last week, but
when the family physician entered, his

"Yes, do" replied Mr.. Tillman. "You

this return of speech most favorable,
and they entertain no doubt now as to
the patients full recovery of his

a result Of an explosion which oc-
Cured Thursday in the Trojan Pow
der works at Roberts Landing, near
San Lorenzo, in Alameda county. Two
score more were wounded, several of
them it Is believed fatally.
The explosion was caused by the
bursting Of a boiler, the concussion
from which resulted in a series of ex-
plosions in different parts of the
plant. The detonation was heard for
miles and in the bay cities it was at
first believed an earthquake shock
was responsible for it.
The buildings in the immediate vi
cinity of the explosion were shattered

BEEF TRUST men INDICTED
NATIONAL PACKING DIRECTORS
CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Indictment Alleges Concern conspirsd
to Raise Prices Of Foodstuffs by
Placing Them In Cold Storage.

New York-The grand jury of Hud-
son county, sitting in Jersey City, N.
j., Friday, indicted the directors Of the
beef trust, with one exception, on the
charge of conspiracy.
The indictment is based upon the
old common law Of conspiracy, which
law has been upheld by the highest
court OF the state and is epitomized
in the expression that ut is crime
to do a lawful thing in an unlawful
manner, or to do an unlawful thing in
a lawful manner"
The Indictment is against every d.
rector of the National Packing Com
pany, with the exception Of Kenneth
K. McLarin. The indictments will
be handed up by the grand jury on
next Wednesday before Judge Fran
els c. Swaayze. The men indicted
may be extradited IL necessary. The
charge is criminal one and the pun
ishment provided is three years in
prison or $1,000 fine, or both.
The officers and directors of the
National Packing Company are Ed
ward Tilden, president; L. B. Patter-
son, A. T. Fuller, vice-presidents; c.
G. Snow, secretary; Arthur Colby, as
sistant treasurer; directors, J.. Ogden
Armour, L. F. Swift, Edward Morris,
E. F. Swift, Ira N. Morris, Arthur
Meeker, Edward Tilden, T. ]. Connors,
L. A. Carton, X. K. McLarin, T. E.
Wilson, c. H. Swift, L. H. Heyman,
Samuel McRoberts, F. A Fowler and
A. w. Armour.
The reason for failure to indict
McLarin, 1t was stated, was that he
was merely representative here in
the east and was not supposed to have
had any part in the fixing of the prices
of food-stuffs.
The indictment charges that the
defendants conspired to raise the
price of food-stuffs by putting them in
cold storage and releasing them from
time to time.
The indictment of the beef trust
directors who have through the Ma
tional Packing Company set at de-
fiance the law of supply and demand,
raised prices on foodstuffs as they
saw fit and forced the prices of meat
beyond the reach of the poor was
brought about by Prosecutor Pierre
Garvln after weeks of hard work.
1t was announced that the indict-
ments are based upon the testimony
of the employees of the storage plants
and packing houses in Jersey City.
For weeks, employees high and low,
have been trooping into the grand
jury room In Jersey City.
Jefferson City, Mo-That the Ma
tional Packing Company of New Jer-
sey, holding corporation upon the
directorate of which the Armour. Swift
and Morris interests are represented,
has absorbed since its organization 26
corporations, many of them independ-
ent packing companies, was developed
Friday by testimony given before
Judge Dillon.
Attorney General Major expressed
himself as we'll pleased with the tes-
timony. He believes the organization
of the National Packing Company,
which operates in this state through
it's subsidiary concerns, was in viola
tion of the laws of Missouri, and that
the companies which promoted it's
organization and which are operating
In Missouri, can be punished.

under the supervision of committee
of four, consisting of w. M. Stouart,
chief statistician for manufactures
and J. E. Whelchol, expert chief of
division. representing the bureau of
census, and R. S. Kellog, assistant
forester and A. H. Pierson, forest as.
sistant, representing the United
States Forest Service.
A statement just received at the
department or Agriculture from the
Forest Service Office at Portland, Ore,
shows that the timber sale business
on national forest in the Pacific
northwest is increasing very rapidly.
The contrast between the amount
and value Of timber sold during the
last six months of 1909 and that soiu
during the corresponding period in
1908 is very marked. The figures Just
received are for most of the national
forests in Oregon and Washington,
and, they show timber sales of over So
million feet, for nearly $4,000, dur
ing the last six months of 1909. This
compares with sales of about II mil
lion feet. for a total of $4,000, during
the same period in 1908.

the past week were 4,373 hhds. OF
this number 3,2O7 hhds were hurley
and 1,166 hhds were dark. There was
a decided decrease in the size of the
offerings of new hurley, attributable
to the bad weather, which prevented
deliveries to factories and shipping to
market. The offerings were of an in.

scarcity of colory. There was good,
