Progrnmme on Trip.

When Attorney General Wickersham
left yesterday afternoon for his sum
mer home on Long Island to spend the
weekend. he took with him the de-
tailed plans for the dissolution of the
National Packing Company. and will ex-
anime them to see II they meet with
his approval. They were submitted to
him yesterday by Federal District At
torney Wilkerson. of Chicago. who. with
Ralph Crew, of Chicago, chief counsel
for the trust. had a conference with the
Attorney General yesterday morning.
Both Mr.. Crew and Mr.. Wlkerson left
Tor Chicago yesterday afternoon. Both
declined to discuss the documents turned
over to Mr.. Wickersham except to say
that they were along the line Of the
dissolution programme which was an
nounced at Chicago recently.
The plan submitted by Mr.. Wilkerson
embraces a general proposition to divide
up the properties Of the trust among the
three big interests in the packing busi-
ness, namely, the Swift. Armour, and
Morris. Wickersham will probably make
known his decision on the dissolution

MORE CHANGES ARE EXPECTED

inspectors Of the District Electric Rah-
way Commission are keeping q sharp
lookout for violations Of the increased
car service orders. which became eject
I've yesterday afternoon. The new sched-
ules ordered by the commission were
inaugurated yesterday, and 1t II hardly
believed that the railway companies VIII
dare to violate the terms.
New schedules were placed in force on
four of the heavy traf1c lines. Tho
Chevy Chase line Ii required to operate
caCs between Fifteenth Street and New
York Avenue and the District Line on a
seven minute headway between 4:SO and
6 o'clock in place of the former fifteen
minute service. Similar service has been
inaugurated between the Rock Creek
loop and the District line. Between
and $50 a. m, two-and-a-half-minute
service has been ordered between the
District line and the loop. Sundays and
holidays are excepted.
The New Schedule.
The North Capitol Street line is re-
quired to operate cars between Fifteenth

The Maryland line Of the City and

TO operate cars between Fifteenth and
G Streets Northwest and the District line
on a headway Of not more than 1 3-4

No decisions have yet been reached by
the Railway Commission and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission with re-
spect to the railway matters which are
now under consideration and fnvestiga-
ton. 1t is extremely probable that orders
of some kind demanding superior serv-
ice from the common carriers will be
issued within several weeks.
H. c. Eddy. secretary Of the Railway
Commission. stated last night that
hearing will be held by the commission
on August 5 on the question OF through

Spouse of Grocer Would Have Trus,
Declared on Property.


Mrs. Mamie Katz. wife Of Max Katz.
the grocer who mysteriously disappeared
July s. filed suit yesterday against her
husband. asking the court TO declare a
trust on his property in her favor, al
leging that it rightfully belongs to her.
Mrs. Katz claims that her husband
virtually acted as her agent. depositing
her money in the bank in his own name
and taking title himself to realty pur-
chased by her. 1t is claimed by Mrs
Katz that when she married Katz in
Atlanta Ga. in February, 1903, she was
widow and had 5000 and he was a
clerk in dry goods store. receiving IS

after their marriage they came to this
city, when she purchased from the father
of her husband a grocery business at
1901 Chester Court, and subsequently pur-
chased realty in the court at a cost OF
$50. and that May IS. 1910, she purchased
the property at 1201 d Street Northeast
for 5000. selling the Chester Court prop
erty for $500 and establishing another

MEAT PRICES SOAR.
Veal, Beef, and Chicken Are Higher
Than for Weeks.

Local prices Of meats are making an
altitude flight. Not for many weeks have
they scared so high. The advance can
not be explained by local dealers They
simply know that veal has jumped for
ward to the extent of $50 or g a hun
dred wholesale, that veal breast has ad-
vanced from 12a to Is cents. that cut
lets have scared from 25 to 30 cents that
chops have leaped from IS to % md Is
cents, and that quotations of other veal
products have increased proportionaily.
The price of chicken is still high. The
price Is about 25 per cent higher than
normal The fish market remains about
the same. There was a dearth of croak-
ers yesterday, but 1t is believed the
supply will be greatly replenished early
next week.

TEST WATER RULING.
Raising of Rates to BE Fought Out
in Courts.

The District Commissioners were yes
terday cited by Justice Wright TO show
cause August 5. why a temporary in
junction should not be issued to pre-
vent the cutting of OF water from pre-
misses 1909 Street Northeast, owned
and occupied by William s. Bransom
This suit, filed by Mr.. Branson. will
test the legal right Of the District Com
missioners to increase water rates, as
directed in an order issued September
30, and made effective July l. Branson
refused to pay $50. which includes the
increase ordered. whereupon the water
was shut OF from his premises. He de-
olares that he rendered $3.50 to Charles
e. Rogers, collector Of taxes, but it was
refused, a demand for $3.50 being made
by the official. Bransom contends that
the Commissioners have no power to
increase arbitrarily the water rates. as
1t is expressly provided by law that the
charge shall only be large enough to
create a fund for the management, main
tenance and repair OF the water plant
Plaintiff claims that the old rate is
ample to produce such a fund, and that
there is no necessity for enlarging the
fund.

Leper Arouses Controversy.

The controversy over the leper who es-
capped from the Denver leper colony and
turned up at San Francisco, and who is
known under the names of c. W. Carson
and c. w. Bronson, has now involved
the health authorities of three States,
and will be put up to the Solicitor Of the
Treasury for final decision. The Denver
authorities do not want him, and the
California officials are seeking to get rid
Of him. The health officer of San Fran
cisco yesterday notified Surgeon General
Blue, Of the United States Public Health
Service, that he believed Carson or
Bronson, belonged In Texas, and urged
the Federal authorities to compel his re-
turn to that State. A decision is ex-
pected in the course of the next few
days.

In your telegram (the appointment of
special United States consul at lquitos.
which has been done).
Phillips said 1t was a question Of
humanity. and I observed that indeed
this was our only motive in the matter.
II was most gratifying and encouraging
to hear Of the action Mr.. Knox proposed
to take.
Sir Roger Easement also had told me
Of the sympathy with which he had been
received at Washington, and how whole
heartedly Mr.. Huntington Wilson had
spoken to him. l was telegraphins to
your excellency to say that our Minister

his United States colleague at Lima. 1

necessary to prevent the recurrence OF

SKATING RINK
FOR YOUNGSTERS
HEALTHFUL AND SAFE AAUsE.
MENT SHOULD BE PROVIDED
FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE

The last few days Of cold weather
has brought up the question Of estab-
fishing skating rink for the chill
dren Of Williston. Already there have
been two or three sad drowning acci-
dents in adjoining towns because chill
dren ventured on ice on the river
where it was unsafe.
At least a couple Of places could
be found about the city which could
be flooded, and in this manner made
into a splendid rink, for this healthful
amusement in safety. This has been
done heretofore but never was much
Of success, as the water soaked
through the ground before it froze.
The best way to flood a lot is to first
put on just little water and let it
freeze in the ground, thus forming
basin that will hold when the rink is
filled.

ENT-FUTURE PLANS

The Williston Choral Union held its
first rehearsal Of the winters work
at the Library Auditorium. Monday
evening with an attendance of forty
two people, all of whom joined the
union as active members. Not only
the large attendance but the way the
voices took up the chorus, Gounod's
"Gallia," was very gratifying. Copies
enough to supply still larger men,
bership have been ordered and it Is
hoped that next Monday evening will
find each member in possession OF his
own book. Sullivan's "Lost Chord"
arranged for the four uarts, and Il
Waited for The Lord" from Mendels-
sohn's "Hymn of Praise" will also -
taken up as soon as sufficient copies
arrive, as the Gounod chorus is short.

the union should be presented to one
of the membership committee: Mrs.
Edwin Palmer, Miss Macdonald, Mr..
Forster, Miss Baldwin or Prof. Onstad.
