Grand jury Summoned TO DolVo Into
Alleged Swlndle,

Chicago, March 5.--ln response to
the summons of United States Judge
Lauds special federal grand jury
was impaneled today for the sole pur-
pose u investigation alleged gigantic
frauds in connection with the payment
of the olcomargariuC tax in the Chi
Cago distrists. That extensive frauds
have been praCticed 10y some of the
near butter" manufacturers has been
u matter of gossip for several years
past II is now estimated that the
internal revenue department has lost
more than $1,OOO,OOO by such frauds.
When oleomargarine is frankly sold
as such, without the use of deceptive
culoring matter To make II resemble
butter, the federal tax is 4 cent per
pound. When coloring is used the
tax Is 10 cents per pound. The man
rfacturers, 1t is said. have found 1t
exceedingly profitable to use secret
coloring matters and still pay only
the 4 cent tax.
Among the large concerns to he in
vestigated are Armour a. Company,
United States Butterne company,
SChwarzchild Il Sulzberger. the Mox-
ley company, the G.. II. Hammond

Grey Is Qualified.

In the opinion of many competent
Judges of the situation the only avail
able man possessing he requisite
qualities of leadership is Sir Edward
Grey There are those who confident
~ declare that II is only question
of time until Sir Edward becomes
prime minister
The grandson of Sir George Grey
who was several times home sccrc-
tary, and the grand nephew of Earl
Grey of reform bill fame, Sir Edward
inEorits political instincts and talent
of the highest order. He had scarcely
attained his majority when he became
private secretary To Sir Evelyn Bar
ing Oatcr Lord Cromer). and he acted
in the same capacity to Mr.. Childers
at the time the latter was chancel-
lor of the eXchcqucr. Entering par
lament at the age of twenty three
years, he made some stir at an early
period OF his career by his independ-
cnce on the question of Irish land
purchase.
Prominent as Critic
lie was only thirty when Mr.. Glad
stone appointed him, in 1892, under
secretary for foreign affairs. AS his
chief was in the House of Lords. his
position was important. and 1t became
particularly delicate when Lord Rose
berry succeeded to the premiership.
Sir Edward Grey had to eXpound a
policy with which II was suspected
Lord Rosebcry's principal colleague
did not always sympathize. lie did
the work which then fell to his hand
with courage as well as with proprie-
ty. Later. during the period of lib
era opposition. he came strongly to
the front rs a critic of the foreign
policy of the Balfour administration.
Although his style is restrained Sir
Edwards speeches are nearly always
impressive and effective. Once he was
announced To address "a meeting Of
northern miners WHO were keen radi-
Gals. Instead of giving them a slash
ing harangue. Sir Edward spoke Sc"
datcly on foreign affairs, yet his man
ner was such that his audience lis
tened with deep interest
