GRAND JURY To
PROBE ALLEGED
BUTTER FRAUDS
Judge Lands Orders a Special
Quiz to See If the Govern

Associated Press.
Chicago, March 17.-Judge Landis
in the federal court today instructed
special grand jury to investigate
all alleged butterine frauds compro-
missed by the internal revenue de-
partment March 4 The jury is to
learn whether the manufacturers are
guilty of a conspiracy to defraud the
government.
Judge Lands told the jurors that
1t was discovered two years ago that
certain big oleomargerine manufac-
turers were using colored oil treated
with sulphur, which resulted in an
imitation which resembled real but
ter. The manufacturers were then
warned that they used the colored
oil at their own peril. A house COM
mittee investigated the matter and
calculated that the government would
be deprived of taxes to the amount of
1900, 900, and this committee rec
commended that the case be not COM
promised. Nevertheless Secretary
MacVeagh. as one of the last acts of
his administration, compromised the
penalties at SOL 900.

ascertain whether any members of
the national government We're guilty

The threat of the railroads to cut

they be granted free transportation.

Pauing for Pitkin
Aue. Is Assured

The residents of Pitkin are after
pavements on that street and are
very generally signing petition that
is being circulated by Carl Strangers,
G. c. Knowles, b. +. Milton and IL. c.
Bell.
The plan is to pave the street with
strip of concrete 30 feet wide and
park the balance, and the extent of
the pavement will be from Second
street to Seventh. Concrete is IA
vored against asphalt.
Petitions circulated last year met
with failure due to some of the large
property owners being unwilling to
sign. Now these same property hold
ers are enthusiastic for the new dis
trict and among the first to sign. 1t
is thought that there is no chance
for the petition to fail, and the resi-
dents of that avenue claim that the
district is assured.
