COMMISSIONER GARFIELDS RE
PORT ON BEEF INDUSTRY
The report of Commissioner Gar
field on the beef industry has at last
been published It must be some
what of a surprise to those who have
been indulging in wholesale adverse
criticism upon the methods of the
Chicago packers as it discloses facts
and figures which clearly show that
the great food producers have been
innocent of the serious offenses with
which they have been charged They
have been for a long time accused by
newspapers all over the country of
extortionate prices demanded and ob
tained of depression of values of cat
tle at the various stockyards where
their business is conducted of enor
mous profits wholly disproportionate
to the capital employed and in gen
eral of so carrying on their business
that the public under an organised
system of spoliation were being
robbed for their exclusive benefit
We- find now however that not a
single one of these charges has been
sustained but on the contrary that
rigid and searching investigation of
ficially made has resulted in com
plete acquittal
Instead of extortion it is shown that
no industry can be found where so
narrow a margin of profit prevails
the actual records and original en
tries to which the commissioner had
free access showing that the high
est net profit any of the packers
made on their sales of beef was two
and three tenths per cent in 1902 and
in one instance that the profit realized
in 190 1 was one and eight tenths Fr
cent
The variations in the market prices
for tattle arc exhaustively treated
and no evidence of any kind was dis
covered or even hinted at tending to
show thai values of cattle are in the
slightest degree improperly affected
or controlled by packers at any of
the chief centers of the industry
On the whole the report completely
dissipates the prevalent idea that
great fortunes are being amassed by
illegal ami improper methods em
ployed by western packers showing
that notwithstanding the high prices
for beef prevailing in 1902 the busi
ness was less remunerative than in
years characterized by normal values
both for cattle and product He says
that the year 1902 instead of being
one of exorbitant profits as has been
commonly supposed was less profit
able than usual In fact during the
months when the prices of beef were
the highest some at least of the
leading packers were losing money
on every head of cattle slaughtered
It was not- possible to advance the
prices of beef in full proportion to the
great advance in the prices of cattle
at that time
After all that has been written re
flecting upon the great business in
terest engaged in the marketing and
distribution of the product of one of
the greatest of our national indus
tries it is gratifying to all fair minded
people that the prejudiced attacks
upon it have failed of verification
and the great western packers may be
congratulated for having passed
through such a searching and thor
ough official investigation unsmirched
The results of this investigation
based as it is upon exhaustive data
officially obtained and verified by
United States government experts
must be accepted without hesitation
as the investigation was made under
circumstances that guaranteed com
plete accuracy with a possible dispo
sition indeed to arrive at entirely
different results

wisdom In a lineof type

Tenth Day of Gigantic Struggle for
Mukden
NEW CHYVANG It is reported
here that Tie Pass has been invested
by the Japanese and that General
Kouropatkin having no alternative
will probably be forced to surrender
within a week
The Russians have not been rein
forced from the direction of Harbin
since March 1
General Nogis army made a forced
march of twenty five miles daily and
acting in conjunction with General
Okus army surrounded SO000 Rus
sians in the direction of Tie Pass and
cut off their supplies
MUKDEN1 Noon The Japanese
army bombarded the bridge at Fu
pass on the- Hun river twelve mils
east of Mukden Ru sian artillery re
plied vigorously The cannonade last
ed an hour
At prereut the Japanese arr miking
most energetic attacks south of the
Hun liver It is rumored that they
have transferred thithor some of tlmir
forces from the northwest in antici
pation of a night attack
The Russian forces in the district
of Tzuanvanche north of the Mukden
station rested under arms through
out the night Shortly before dawn a
large Japanese force approached the
Zaraitser regiment This regiment al
lowed the Japanese to approach with
in 200 paces and then discharged a
volley from their rifles and opened on
them with quick tiro guns simply
mowing down the Japanese who were
repulsed
Among the prisoners brought in on
Wednesday were a number of privates
in new uniforms who were from a re
cently organized Japanese reserve di
vision There is reason to believe that
another division is being landed in the
northern part of Korea for the pur
pose of making a demonstration
against Vladivostok On Wednesday
there were furious attacks northwest
of Mukden against the villages of San
taitse Yangshihtung and Unshuntun
These attacks were all repulsed
4 a m Midnight closed the tenth
day of gigantic struggle for the pos
session of Mukden and the mastery of
a vast empire the tenth day of un
ceasing conflict under exploding
shrapnel i ie roar of cannon and the
whistling of bullets the tenth day
without sleep and without food The
combat is fast reaching a point where
it is a question not so much of turning
columns of tactics and of strategy as
of whose strength energy and cart
ridges will last the longer
Gray coated Russians patient un
complaining strong of soul clung
doggedly to positions against an
enemy whose attacks go to the very
point of insanity and desperation For
forty eight hours the Japanese have
not eaten They are starving and ex
hausted but Field Marshal Oyama
himself has told them that the city
will fall and the slaughter stop on
Fridav and their confidence in their
leader increased their strength ten
fold

The Japanese succeeded in emnlac

No More Diplomatic Snaps for Ne

WASHINGTON Senators Rurkett
and Millard had a conference on the
subject of the summary dismissal of
Max Raehr of Howard county United
States consul at Cienfuegos Cuba
After learning at the state denartment
that Mr Baehrs official J rep had
been exceptionally good Senator Mil
lard proposed that the matter be taken
up with President Roosevelt and
about 11 oclock Senators Burkett and
Millard called at the white house and
lodged a respectful protest against the
act affecting Baeiir urging that a mis
take had been made The president
was not inclined to concede the
claim Later Senator Millard learned
of Assistant Secretary Ioomis of the
state department that Robert J
Thompson the Chicago newspaper re
porter appointed to succeed Baehr
did not wish to go to Cuba his desire
being to go to Europe in the consular
service and Mr Ioomis assured Sen
ator Millard that if Thompson declined
to go to Cienfuegos it is quite likely
that Max Baehr would be permitted
to remain there
In response to telegraphic requests
from leading republicans in Nebraska
Senator Millard urged the president
to appoint George Anthes deputy au
ditor of state to an important post
in the consular service The president
listened attentively to the good things
said of Mr Anthes replying that Ne
braska had more than her quota of
consular appointments and referred
to the list in support of the claim
which Senator Millard was inclined to
dispute
PLAN TO SEAT ALVA ADAMS
Twenty Two Republicans Combine
With Democrats to End Contest
DENVER A plan for disposing of
the contest over the governorship and
retaining Adams in the chair was an
nounced Wednesday night by the
Adams supporters It is to be brought
about by the aid of certain republi
cans thought they will not be re
quired to vote directly to seat Adams
According to the claims of the Adams
people they have secured the
j tures of twenty two republican mein
j hers of the legislature to an agree
t ment to vote down all three reports
in the contest commitee With the
thirty one members who it is reported
will act Avith the republicans above
mentioned the result will be a major
ity of four By defeating all three re
ports the effect will be to allow
Adams to retain his seat On the other
hand the Peabody republicans claim
that they have forty six pledged to
stand together for Peabody and that
this pledge was made at last nights
caucus A steering committee was
named and instructed to use every ef
fort to keep before the joint assembly
the Alexander report in favor of seat
ing Lieutenant Governor McDonald
and ignoring the claims of both Adams
and Peabody They hope in this way
to eventually win away enough of the
McDonald men to give a majority for
Peabody

Supreme Court Rules in Opposition to
His Claim
HARTFORD Conn The supreme
court of Connecticut handed down a
decision in the Philo S Bennett will
case in Avhich W J Bryan has fig
ured as beneficiary to the extent o
50000 as proAidel in a sealed let
ter left by Mr Bennett and finds
no error The decision upholds the
superior court which rendered judg
ment to the effect that the clause in
Mr Bennetts Avill containing the par
agraph in regard to the 50000 to be
left to Mr Bryan is inoperatiA e and
that the said fund is the part of a
residuary estate
Mr Bryan appealed trom this de
cision and the result is as previously
stated The superior court having
held that the sealed letter was no
part of the will the only question to
decide on was its contents as testa
mentary document Clause 12 of the
will leaves 50000 to Mrs Bennett in
tru with no purpose while the seal
ed letter sayj that the money is left
to William J Bryan The supreme
court holds that the superior court is
right in deciding that the clause is
