Chicago, Jan. 2S-The beef trust in
quiry took a new and sensational turn
today when the federal grand jury re-
sumed its sessions. James B. Rob-
bins president of the Armour Car
Lines company was summoned on a
forthwith subpoena. The Armour car
lines are the formidable bludgeon used
by the trust, the government charges.
and today's move was regarded as
highly significant. The National
Packing company, the holding COM
pany of the trust, has used the Ar
lnour car lines to beat down competi-
ton by excessive charges to COM
petitors, while the trust products were
handled at minimum, according to
the governemnt prosecutor Robbins

serving of the subpoena on him was a
surprise and Robbins was immediate

(AmeriCan News Scrvice)

Washington, Jan. 2S.-That the in
surgents in congress are the men who
are actually directing the course of
Presidents Tafts legislation became
known today when it was learned from
high source that modification have
been made in the administration anti
trust bill, as result of insurgent op-
position to the original form. Anoth-
er indication of the trend of affairs is
found in the postal bank bill, which
has been whipped into such shape that
there is little grounds for insurgent
opposition.
Both OF these measures now stand a
much better chance of going through
this session than they did when the
insurgents first opened fire on them,
when their general tenor became
known.
How AwfuIIy Mean!
This spirit of hustle, which not only
the insurgents share but the progress
sive regulars as we'll, led today to the
first session of the senate on a Friday.
The policy of the senate leaders SO
far has been all delay possible. accord

edge that a faction is ready to see that

its large scope, gets hearing. led to
the session today. instead of a Thurs

heretofore been the rule.
The failure of the senate to take up
important matters is laid partly to
the fac. that Senator Aldrich is absent
from Washington. The protest of the

entirely discarded, however

Negro Restaurant Keeper Is
Charged With Operating
a Blind Tiger.
THERE ARE FOUR CHARGES
CONTAINED IN THE AFFIDAVIT,
WHICH HAS BEEN FILED IN THE
CIRCUIT COURT BY PROSECU-
TOR LADD.

An affidavit on four separate counts
has been filed in the circuit court by
Prosecuting Attorney Ladd charging
Charles Profit. the colored proprietor
of a restaurant on South Eighth street
whose place of business was raided
by the police last Saturday night, with
running blind tiger. The specific
charges filed against Profit are first
selling liquor without license; sec
ond, selling liquor without license
and suffering it to be drunk as a bev-
erage: third keeping a place for the
unlawful sale of liquor and, fourth,
having such liquor in possession for
the purpose of being sold.
On the first two counts there is no
Jail sentence attached, the minimum
fine being $50, and the maximum fine
being $500. If however, Profit is
convicted on either the third Or fourth
count mentioned he will be subjected
to fine and an additional Jail sentence
of thirty days.
Profit alleges that he merely allow
ed his patrons to bring liquor to his
place and drink it. He admitted sew.

and got beer for his guests, but denies
that he sold it on his premises Or VIC

cramping, numbed sensation. SooE
he became delirious and very restless
and to quiet him, DR.. Jones injected
one thirtieth of grain of strychnine
into mis- arm. Whites pulse rallied
for about fifteen minutes and, to en-
liven the circulation, one one-hun-
dredth grain of atropine was admin
lstered Diluted alcohol was given to
restore the heart action. At no time
during his illness did White have
more than L. degree of fever. Dr.
Jones advised !.ght nourishment, such
as rice and milk, but the man could
not retain anything on his stomach and
ON Thursday morning at o'clock he
died.
Mrs. Whites Statement.
1t was not long after this that the
gOssips got busy and circulated re-
ports of serious character concern
ing the death of White. Mrs White
when seen today stated that she was
anxious to have the post mortem ex-
animation held because it would put
a stop to the rumors. She stated.
however. that her husband had often
said that he did not want a post NOR
TEN examination to be held on his
body after he died and for that reason
she was sorry that it was to be made
Mrs. White stated that she had
known for some time the reports cur
rent concerning her relations with
s-~ 4
rumors were unfounded and absolutely
false. She stated that Slifer boarded
at her house for short time, either
the latter part of October or the first
of November, while he was working on
the new school building. She declar-
ed that Slifer and her husband had had
a quarrel one evening over card game
boarding place with a family by the
name of Kennedy.
Cause of Rumors.
This probably occasioned the cur.
rent rumOrs, according to Mrs. White.
She said another matter which tend
ed to excite talk among~the neighbors
was the fact that her husband had been
in the habit of inviting in several
guests to their home on Sunday after
moons and playing cards and drinking
beer. and she objected to it. She re-
fused to allow her husband to hold his
little parties any longer and because OF
her attitude on the matter, and the
fact that the neighbors were not per
mitted to come any more. a bitter feel
ing resulted, she said, which later led
to scurrilious stories concerning Mrs
Whites character. Mrs. White denied
that she had been corresponding with
Slifer.
DR.. Jones is Of the opinion that the
! examination will disclose nothing
wrong and show that death was due
as he alleged, to ptomaine poisoning
The outcome of the investigation vii
be watched with intense interest. The
people in the community of White
water were visibly excited when the
announcement was made that the
body of White would be disinterred
, and the stomach subjected to a chem
ical analysis. The opinion in regard
to the true cause of Whites death is
about evenly divided among the resi-
dents in that vicinity.

ALL STENCIL is PROHIBITED
IN FUTURE THE DEFENDANT IN
THE CASE MUST CONDUCT HIS
FERTILIZER FACTORY IN oDoR-

Although only $3.50 damages was
awarded, Judge Fox today enjoined
William Clendenin from operating his
fertilizing factory in such a manner
that a stencil would arise and be dam
aging to the plaintiffs life or prop
erty. This decision was made in the
case of William H. Pickett versus Will

and injunction.
The case was tried in the circuit
court last December but not until to-
day had Judge Fox an opportunity
to announce his decision as much time
was required in the inspection of
authorities on the subject.

The plaintiff who lives near the fer
tilizing establishment, claimed that
the stencil arising from it caused him
to become i'll. He also claimed that
the rental value of his property had

favor.
In event Clendenin disobeys the
courts s order and operates his plant
in such manner that stencil arises
he will arrested for contempt OF

residents in the vicinity Of White

The Alleged Cause.
White is alleged to have died from
the effects of eating canned corn.
which resulted in ptomaine poisoning.
However. the rumors to the effect
that his death was due to other causes
has prompted the authorities to find
real cause of his demise. On Wednes-
day, December *, Mr.. and Mrs.
White drove to Richmond for the
purpose Of doing some trading. While
here they bought a can of corn, and
on returning home, the corn served
as part of their evening meal. Short
