COMMITTEE HAS NO EVIDENCE
Trxans Would Take More Time to
Investigate "Beef Trust."
AUSTIN, Tex., April 14.-The legislative
committee appointed to Investigate the
methods of the so-called 'Beef trust" and
Its operations In Texas, made a report to

made much inquiry there had not devel
oped evidence of a specific violation of the

or corporation. The report continues:
From advices received we are able to
state that In our Judgment there exists In
this state a combination of persons and
corporations engaged In the business of
packing and selling beef and other like
products in contravention to the anti-trust
laws of the state.
The committee asks that they be con

with f ill power to summon and examine
witnesses, and asks an appropriation to be
used by the attorney general to assist them
In their investigations. The report was
adopted.

FEAR REVOLT MAY DAY
DerelopmeuU in Bussia Point to Crisis in
Labor Troubles Next Month.
ARMS AND BOMBS ARE BEING SECURED
News from Interior Is Alarming,
While Worklaa en of St.
Petersburg Are Showing;
Slgna of Dlaorder.
ST. PETERSBURG, April l4.-Develop-ments
all point to a crisis in the present
agitation among the workmen of the cities
and the peasants In the country on May
day, and appeals are pouring In from all
quarters of Russia for military protec
tion. The Rt. Petersburg workmen are pre
paring a great demonstration. Arms and
bombs In large quantities have been smug
gled In and bloodshed on a large scale Is
feared. Wealthy persons who ordinarily
go to villas on the Islands of the Neva or
to neighboring country places this year are
going abroad. The government has taken
few special measures to meet the situation,
evidently relying on the troops and police
to guard the capital. The latter are ex
tremely active. All the prominent agitators
are being arrested or have already been
sent back to the villages from which they
originally came. The prisons are filled to
overflowing.
There have been fresh disputes between
the workmen and the managers of the
Putlloff, Baltic and Nevskl works and be
tween the employes and the management
of the government cartridge factory. At
tho latter place the men refuse to continue
to donate any part of their pay to assist
In the support of families of the soldiers
at the front, claiming that the money Is
used to prosecute the war, to which they
are opposed.
News from Interior Alnrmlnsr.
The news received from the interior Is
alarming, especially from the Baltic prov
inces, where the entire population Is In a
state of Intense excitement. The cities are
being flooded with revolutionary proclama
tions calling on the people to rise on May
day. The criminal classes are taking ad
vantage of the situation to pillage and
plunder, while In the country the landlords
are powerless to cope with the peasants
and demand the stationing of troops at
every station.
From Dunaburg, government of Vitebsk,
oome reports that the Jews are In a state
of panic over the circulation of proclama
tions similar to those which preceded the
outbreaks at Klshineff and Gomel.
At Ekaterlnoslav three revolutionists who
were surrounded by police, fought their
way to liherty, killing or wounding several
of the latter.
A dispatch from Kars says that the em
ployes of the Transcaueaslnn railway are
on strike and that 100 miles of the track
has been damaged.
Tsar Fears Peasant Cnrlslna;.
The Imperial rescript addressed yesterday
to the minister of tho interior, M. Uoullgan,
creating a special commission under his
presidency to discuss questions relating to
peasant tenure of lands is a direct recogni
tion of the grave peril Involved In the
spreading peasant agitation, which threat
ens not only the big estate, but the im
perial domains. The Instructions In the
rescript to work out a system clearly mark
ing off peasant land from the land of other
owners "In order to inculcate Into the peo
ple a sense of property ownership" amounts
to an Imperial refutation of the stories cur
rent among the peasants that the emperor
had decreed a new division of the land. It
Is feared, however, It may have exactly
the contrary effect to the one desired among
the Ignorant peasantry and that shrewd
agitators will be able to employ the re
script bearing upon tho general subject of
Increase of peasant lands as being a con
firmation instead of a denial of the reports
that the agitators had previously circulated
about the emperor's Intention to redistrib
ute the land. Two methods of relief are
proposed by the rescript the purchase of
additional land by the aid of a peasant's
bank and the colonization of Siberia.
Little Faith In Commission.
The creation of the new commission
sounded the knell of the old Witte com
mission, which is simultaneously abolished.
M. Wltte's commission, which was of a
much broader character, covering all ques
tions relating to peasant administration,
created a tremendous stir two years ago,
being the signal for much outspoken criti
cism of the present regime on the part of
the semstvos, notably of the tver, which
was "revised" out of existence by the late
interior minister Von Plehve. An Immense
amount of material was collected by the
commission, but its work became so diffuse
and it accomplished so little In the way of
tangible results that Its passing away has
aroused no regret. But the supplanting of
one commission by another serves to
emphasise the criticism of the liberals In
regard to the futility of reforms conducted
by bureaucratic commission. The govern
ment claims: however, that as the work of
the commission is being restricted solely to
the question of devising means for supply
ing the peasants with additional Innd It
should speedily accomplish something.
Nevertheless to those familiar with the sit
uation among the peasants serious doubts
are expressed as to whether the rescript
will have an appreciable effect In allaying
the agrarian agitation.
Comes Too Late.
"Like all the acts of the autocracy it
comes too late," said a prominent noble
man, who has a large estate near Moghlleff
and who considers It unsafe to live upon his
property.
The active head of the new commission
Will be M. Goremykln, a former minister of
the Interior, who Is extremely well equipped
for the work assigned to him. For a long
time he was the senator In charge of the
senate section relating to peasant affairs,
In which he Is an expert.
M. Goremykln was minister of the In
terior for a short time before M. Slplagon
snd his term was not marked with any of
the harshness which drew down on the
heads of his two successors the doom of the
terrorists.
Promises Reforms to Worklnn-men.
In receiving a delegation of workmen
from Moscow today, Finance Minister Ko
kovsoff gave notice to the workmen of Rus
sia, that a government commission Is now
formulating legislation to remedy the
greater part of their grievances. Including
Mate Insurance against sickness, accident
and age, and for shortening the hours of
labor, abolishing the prohibition of unions
and criminal punishment for strikes, and
for the establishment of an Industrial court
in which employers and employed shall be
represented. The minister pointed out to
the delegation the impossibility of elabor
ating in a moment reforms of such weighty
and far-reaching character. He declared
that the energy with which the commis
sion is working gave it the right to de
mand sufficient time for the preparation
and consideration of proposed laws and
said that Industrial disturbances such as
have occurrd hamper Instead of further
the work.
The Moscow workmen prtsnted a peti
tion of rights under eleven heads, five of
which are charged In the foregoing state
ment. This Interview with the minister of
finance, lasting an hour and a half, is
another indication of the general concilia
tory spirit of the government. The evident
deslrs to cure,' wherever possible, the mal
adies of the empire Is manifested by the
peasant commission, the Fluuisb and Pollnti
concessions and the establishment of the
Boullgan commission. The government
thoroughly understands that all these re
forths are too great to be lightly handled
snd that premature and 111 considered leg
islation would be worse than none at all.
It appeals to the dissatisfied to give their
rulers a full snd fair chance to accomplish
the legislation they demand.

TIFLI8. Caucasia. April 14 -A proclama

DUNNE IIAS LITTLE HOPE
OIL KING ASKED FOR GIFT
NeTT Light Thrown I'pon the Rocke
feller Subscription to Con
gregational Missions.
BOSTON, April 14.-The gift of $100,000 to
the American Board of Commissioners for
foreign missions from John D. Rockefeller
was solicited by representatives of the
prudential committee, according. to a state
ment sent to the press from the head
quarters of the board. This is entirely a
different version of the matter than that
given In an interview with Secretary James
L. Barton on March 2 and made public
through the board.
In the earlier statement Dr. Barton is
made to say that the gift was voluntary
and unsolicited. The statement sent by the
board to the Associated Press tonight says:
Secretary James L. Barton, D. D., sent
to the corporate members of the American
board today a complete "etatement with
the correspondence showing the steps which
led to the gift from Mr. Rockefeller of
ioo,noo.
"This statement," the secretary says, "Is
made in the Interest of an accurate under
standing and to correct a false Impression
created in some quarters by a brief pub
lished Interview with himself, referring to
the beginning of negotiations, which was
reached some two weeks ago end had been
widely misquoted." ,
The conference with Mr. Rockefeller, Jr.,
and the meeting of the secretaries at Mt.
Clair, N. J., are described as In the earlier
announcement, the statement concluding:
More than a year later. In December of
last year. Secretary Barton wrote Mr.
Gates (Mr. Rockefeller's private secretary)
In regard to the educational Institutions of
the board, sending him a new booklet upon
this work Just Issued, and asking If there
would be an opportunity of bringing these
Institutions to the attention of John D.
Rockefeller with a view to securing funds
for their endowment In whole or in part.
Mr. Uiitee at once replied that Mr. Rocke
feller had declined hitherto to endow In
stitutions in foreign countries, but had
sometimes made gifts for. the erection of
necessary buildings and current expenses.
Secretury Barton presented later In De
cember a statement of special pressing
needs then existing, calling for J163.000. A
conference was called by Mr. Gates upon
the subject of this letter. For six of the
ten objects presented, Mr. Rockefeller
promised, through his agent, Mr. Gates, to
give $100,000. This letter announcing the
gift was received February 13, 19ii6, and
was presented to the prudential committee
at its regular meeting the next day, when
the gift was accepted.
Secretary Barton says:
I never had any question whatever re
garding the propriety and even duty of
soliciting help for the needy institutions
and work of the board from Mr. Rocke
feller as from other people of means who
are members In good and regular standing
of Christian churches. In soliciting
and accepting this gift neither the pru
dential committee, the efflcers and mem
bers of the American board, nor the pnstors
and members of our congregational church
assumed any ob gation whatever to advo
cate the course of or defend anv Individual
corporation, nor Is any one by 'this gift to
be restrained from absolute freedom of
speech according to the dictates of his
untrammeled conscience.

Efforts of Chicago Mayor to Settle Team
sters' Strike Fruitless.
ACH SIDE REFUSES TO MEET OTHER
Employers Insist that Teamsters Re
turn to Work Itefore Garment
Workers' Case Is Considered.
CHICAGO, April 14. After a day and a
large part of tho night spent in confer
ences with both sides in the Montgomery
Ward A Co. strike. Mayor Dunne late to
night announced that he had made no
progress toward a settlement of the trou
ble, and he did not seem hopeful that an
adjustment will come in the near future.
Further conferences will be held tomor
row, but It is not thought tonight by either
the employers or the strikers that any ar
rangement will be reached.
Point lu Dispute.
The great obstacle to the settlement Is
that the teamsters Insist that the strike
of the garment workers, now four months
old, be arbitrated before the teamsters
return to work, and the employers Insist
that .the teamsters return to work before
anything Is done concerning the garment'
workers.
Mayor Dunne endeavored tonight to bring
about a Joint conference, but neither side
would consent to meet the other. The firm
of Montgomery Ward & Co. succeeded in
sending more goods to the freight depots
today than at any time since the com
mencement of the strike. All of the
wagons were under police protection, but
there was less violence than on any of the
preceding days.
Investigating Bribery Story.

BELASCO SCORES ONE POINT
Attorneys for Playwright Will Ex
amine Certain Items In Books
of KIow A Erlanger.
NEW YORK, April 14 -The suit of David
Belasco, the playwright, against Klaw &
Erlanger, which has been on trial for. a
week past In the supreme court, and which
has had many sensational features, as
sumed a new phase today. Up to this tlmo
the only record Vn'ch had made its ap
pearance in the case was a contract be
tween Klaw & Erlanger and several others
concerning- the control of many theaters
throughout the United States. Today, how
ever, Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for Be
lasco, asked that the Gerendants produce
their books to show exactly what dealings
the copartnership had had with Belasco
and others who had been mentioned during
the progress of the trial. ,
"If the court will permit me," said Law
yer Untermeyer In making the request, "I
will show that Klaw & Erlanger have the
most remarkable set of books which ever
has been produced here."
He claimed that changes have been made
In the books since the Belasco litigation
began. This request met with the strong
est opposition from the defendants and
the session resolved Itsei: practically into
a legal battle between Untermeyer and
Klaw & Erlunger's counsel. At times the
exchanges between the attorneys became
so sharp that the court waa compelled to
rap repeatedly for order.
The trouble began during the examination
of Meyer W. Livingston, auditor for Klaw
& Erlanger. He had produced copies of
certain statements covering certain deal
ings between his firm and Belasco. In the
oross-exainlnatlon Mr. Untermeyer drew
an admission from the witness that some
of the copies were not complete and he
then asked leave to examine the books from
which the copies were made. He said he
wanted to show that Klaw & Erlanger were
paid about 113.000 by Belasco from the
profits of the Warfleld venture during the
months of March, April and May, 1902. He
said he could show by the books that the
money waa paid direct to Klaw & Er
lunger and not to Brooks. The statements
were ruled out by tho court upon Mr. Uot
ermeyer's objection and counsel for the
plaintiff was given permission to look at
certain items in the books.
