pany at Mulberry broke on its nrst
trip this morning when the cage was
half way to the bottom. Five OF the

Francis Keegan of Pittsburg, state

Pittsburg Immediately after the acct-
dent to make an inspection.
The accident is similar in its nature
to one at Croweburg. a short distance
from Mulberry, a couple OF weeks
ago. Then, however, the occupants
of the cage escaped death because q
safety clutch worked and stopped the
cage a few feet from the bottom OF
the shaft. Several men were injured.

HE WANTS FAIR PLAY.
Judge Mcpherson Replies to Attorney
General Barker.

jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 14.-Attor-
ney General Barker today received
from Judge Smith Mcpherson OF the
federal district court a reply to the
telegram which Mr.. Barker sent the
judge yesterday, asking II the latter
issued q temporary Injunction against
the prosecution Of recovery suits
against the railroads in order to give
the railroads a chance to win.
Judge Mcpherson in his reply said:
Common fairness of both you and
the railway attorneys should call for
acquiescence of both sides that = be
given all next week to NE my 6pfn-
ION and enter my DEGREES. There
will he no delays In the meantime.
both sides should allow all matters to
remain as they were last Saturday and
such was my thought when l issued
the restraining order last Saturday.
and If I can make such intention more
effective, send me an order for con-
sideration."
Judge Mcpherson said that the in
junction against further procedure in
the recovery suits for excess charges,
collected while the state rates were
in litigation, applies to both sides. He
will go to Kansas City next week, and
remain there until he enters final
decree IN the rate cases. Attorney
General Barker said today he would
take no further action until Judge
Mcpherson enters a final decree.

Arrangements Completed for
Importation ON Huge Scale.
Syndicate Formed to Ship From
Argentina and Australia.
FOUR WAREHOUSES; LEASED
With Steamship Piers and
Railroad Connections.
Packers Said to Have Nothing
to Do With 1t.

New York, Jan. 14.-Arrangements
for the importation into this country
Of thousands of tons Of beef and other
meat products, from the Argentine
republic, Australia and New Zealand,
have just been completed by syndi-
cate OF American capitalists whose
identity has not been disclosed. The
syndicate has leased for 81 years, with
privilege of renewals. four large ware
houses from the New York Dock COM
pany. An extensive water front, Civ
ing facilities for steamship piers and
railroad connections, also has been Sc
cured. The entire property will be
about 16 acres.
This is the first real move toward
bringing permanent supply of out
side beef and other food products to
this country, from South American
and Australian countries, since the
new tariff schedule went into effect.
e. S. Nugent, who represented the
New York Dock company in the lease
negotiations, explained that the syndi-
cate had no connection with any of the
large packers. Within a year it is
expected the competition will cause an
apprecialble reduction in meat prices
