SPECIAL GRAND JURY
VIII Investigate Alleged School for
Witnesses in Packers Case.

Chicago, Feb. IA special federal
grand jury was enlpaneled and sworn
before Judge Lands today. 1t was said
it would investigate whether counsel
for the meat packers, row on trial, or
any one on their behalf or in the in
terest of the defendants had conducted
a school for Witnesses
1t was declared that a rigid inquiry
would be made to determine If there
exist sufficient grounds to warrant the
return OF indictments for the obstruc-
ton of justice
is said to be based is that witnesses
most of whom are the present en-
ployees of the packing companies, have
been questioned regarding testimony 20
be given when they are called to the
stand.
The government many times has
pointed out that it was at a disad-
vantage in that most of the witnesses
are ''hostile Witnesses from whom lit
tie voluntary information could be
hoped.
District Attorney Wilkerson refused
to discuss the new grand jury or its
object.
It was noted that exceptional care
marked the selection of the jurors by
Judge Landis- A nispelled name in
the summons was sufficient cause for
the court to dismiss the Veniremen. The
Investigation was placed in charge of
4 ssistant District Attorney r. W. ChlldS,
who had charge of the investigation
which led to the indictment of the ten
packers now on trial.
It is reported that witnesses before
the original grand jury were closely
questioned by persons associated with
the defendants alter they had testified
before the grand jury. How far this
alleged questioning was carried 1t is
said will be one of the angles which the
special grand jury will seek to deter
mine Although no witnesses were
heard by the special grand jury at its
first session it was reported that gov
eminent secret service men and pack
ers' employees who nave already testi-
fec in the packers trial have been
subpoenaed.

woman says $1,000 is necessary to
heal her wounded feelings.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Mr. H. B. Hubert, prominent
educator of Korea, who is at the pres
ent visiting in this country. spoke to
the students of the high school this
morning Mr.. Hubert is a pleasing
speaker and delighted the students
by some very clever anecdotes of
Korean and Chinese life. He SAID
that the Koreans are DESTROYS OF
learning of the more civilized Amer1-
can ways, and are doing everything
they can to cultivate them. especially
the system of American education.
The Korean people worship educa-
ton and always have. Five hundred
and fifty years ago the emperor of
Korea desired to have an alphabet
that was not complicated as the
Chinese alphabet which they had
been studying and instructed three of
his ministers to make a new alphabet.
AS nothing of this kind had ever been
done in that part of the world before,
the ministers were at a loss how to
begin to make one. However, they
made an expedition into Tibet and in
spected the alphabet of that country
and found that it contained no vowels.
With the Vowels of the Tibetan alpha
bet, and the voWelS they made UP
they formed one of the most perfect
alphabets in the world, according to
what Mr.. Hubert said this morning.
In closing, Mr.. Hubert said: IF I
were a young man and train should
leave for Korea in fifteen minutes, and
it should be the last train, I should
go without even packing my grip
