GOVERN MENT WILL
 TAKE HAND IN CASE
Informal Negotiations Said To Be Going On Between U. s.
 and Japan
{ Associated PresS)

MUKDEN, Manchuria, Aug. 3.-In- formal negotiations concerning what is known as the Pepper case are un- derstood to be going on between the United States and Japan.
 The case which involves J. E. Pop per, an American engineer, had it's origin on August 30, 1916, when MT. Pepper who was in the employ of the Cinese provincial government is said to have been assaulted by Japanese coolies in the international settlement. Pepper observing that several of the Chinese linesmen in the employ of the Mukden Electric Works, of which he has charge, were molested by Japan csc coolies, requested the Japanese to desist.
 The Japanese turned upon MT. Pop per, it is asserted and clubbed and beat him to insensibility. He was res cued by the American Vice-Consul, who was hurriedly called to the scene.
 It is claimed that the Japanese Con- sul-General volunteered an apology for the incident but as it was not made, the consul was asked to try the case in the Japanese consular court. Af- ter some difficulty MT. Pepper secured the services of a Japanese lawyer to represent him. After a hearing 1t was announced that the lawyer had informed the court that MT. Pepper had withdrawn his complaint, though Mr Pepper declares he gave no such authority.
 The American consulate requested that the case be re-opened, but the Japanese consul replied that this was not possible as the affair was closed. Finally, after further conferences, the Japanese informed the Americans that the period in which Mir Pepper could have appealed had elapsed and that nothing further could be done The Americans interested claim that there was no trial whatever
 It is understood that the authorit ies at Washington have become in terested in the case and have asked | for a complete report.

 BUREAU OF
 FISHERIES IN
Will Look Over Report of Karta River Fishing and Act
 Accordingly.

It was not long after MT. Walker, of the Bureau of Fisheries with head quarters at Wrangell, learned of the illegal fishing at Karta river as report ed short time ago by citizens who found a net stretched across the stream, that he made up his mind to act. MT. Walker has been to the westward for several weeks, on his way back, while at Sitka, his atten- tion was called to the article in the Progressive Miner, referring to this matter and he immediately hurried south. arriving here this morning. On his. arrival he visited the Miners of- flee, not with blood in his eyes, but with compliments on his lips for the citizens who reported the matter, and expressed himself as thankful for the information. As he said, "The de- partment has given us only two boats with which to visit all the fishing banks. and naturally we cannot cover much, and as I had to go to the west ward, I appreciate the information. Continuing, he said. q wish that ev. erybody who comes across cases of illegal fishing would report as the department is prepared to act"
 MT. Walker says that the depart ment while encouraging trout fishing since trout are the worst enemy tc salmon. it does not permit anyone to | fish when it affects salmon as it must by the stretching of nets across a stream. When he was told that the Forest Supervisor. MT. Weigle, had taken the matter up, he said that such | was to be expected on the part of the supervisor the moment his attention was called to it, as no man, he said had the interests of Alaska more al heart than the supervisor.
 Mir Walker is travelling on the Murre, one of the new Alaska patro boats built for the bureau of fisheries for service in southeastern Alaska ir command of Capt, Andrew K: Ras ted. The Murre has a sister ship, the Auklet, under command of Capt Henry Dannenberg.

BROAD INVESTIGATION INTO MEAT INDUSTRY
 BEGUN BY THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
 AGENTS EXAMINE 30 OKS CHICAGO PACKERS.

Commissioner Davies, of the Fed eral Trade Commission, has returned from Chicago, where he welt to in- augurate the investigation. into the meat industry of the country. This is being carried on conjointly with the Department of Agriculture.
 The Federal Trade Commission has authorized the following:
 "The inve gation by the Federal Trade Conn jion has just begun. A force of accC ntants is examining the books of the large meat packers about Chicago. When that work is finished they will begin on the books of other packers, both large and small, in vari- ous other parts of the country. An other group of special agents is ex- amining into the competitive condit- ions of the country prevailing in the meat industry. While the work has been started in Chicago, it will ex- tend wherever the facts lead.
 Will Ascertain Costs.
 "The Federal Trade Commission is cooperating with the Department of Agriculture, and it is intended to as certain all facts and costs in connect. ion with the meat industry as a whole, from the raising of the animals on the farms and ranges through the local markets, stock-yards, packing houses, distributing agencies, and re- tailers. into the hands of the ultimate consumer.
 "There are two main purposes l

this investigations first to ascertain if this great business is conducted eff ciently and economically. and. if not. to point out, if possible, the remedies for any weaknesses or deficiencies. This in order to give the public either better service or to tighten it's burd- ems, or both. If possible.
 Second Purpose of Inquiry.
 "The second purpose is to ascertain whether or not, in the conduct of the meat business. or in any branch or phase of it, there are any combina- tions in restraint of trade, any unfair practices that injuriously affect the public regarding prices or supply. If such practices or conditions are found to exist, it will no doubt be the policy of the Government to stop them and administer adequate punishments for those responsible therefor.
 "The immediate concern of the pub lie is with the high price 1t is paying for meat and whether or not those prices are justified; who is respon- sible for their existence. The inves- tigation made some time ago into the meat industry by another agency dealt with the price of beef alone, and did not conscider the by-products or other meats. No broad, thorough. and comprehensive investigation of constructive character embracing all phases and angles and ramificat- ions of the meat and packing industry lhas ever been undertaken before"
