SAY PACKERS ARE ROUTEE Not a Single Cow or Heifer Sold Un- der New Rule. Chicago, May 29.—Because of the enforcement by the big packers of their new rule requiring postmortem inspection of cows and heifers as a condition of purchase only the high class grades of beef are being sold at the stock yards for the Chicago trade. During the first day of the enforce- ment of the rule the big packing firms did not succeed in buying a solitary cow or heifer, according to the re- turns made to the commission men at the close of business. None of the 3,000 animals numbered in the list of the day’s receipts as “cow stuff” re- mained unsold, however, all being sent to other cities, and on this showing the commission men insisted that the big firms were routed in the first skirmish. i The sales, however, were at-prices from 10 to 20 per cent below the range of prices at the cldse of last week's market. In this slump the big packers pro- fessed to find evidence of their power. They were not sanguine of the final outcome, however, the commission men’s fallure to get “stuck” on the day’s receipts being an unlooked for development. Causes that contributed to the suc- cess of the commission men in their efforts to sell out everything were the co-operation of the shippers in the country and the demands of the “in- dependent” trade. Renewed appeals to the country buyers and shippers to “keep their cows and heifers” out of the Chicago market for the present were sent out over the wires. BODY FOUND IN TRUNK. Armenian Priest Murdered in New York City. L2 New York, May 28—RBev. Father Kasper, aged sixty, of the Armeniah Apostolic church of Hoboken, N. J., was murdered in this city some time last week. The body has been found in a trunk which had been left as security for their rent by two Greeks who three weeks ago engaged a furnished room of Mrs. Henry Sherer, who occupies the third floor of a tenement at 333 West Thirty-seventh street. The body was found in a kneeling posture with the head bound against the knees by a heavy strap which passed over the back of the neck and ‘was buckled under the shins. Dr. Lehane, the coroner’s physician, gave it as his opinion that the man was' thrust into the trunk while alive and the cover of the trunk held down until death ensued. The condition of the organs was found to be similar to those In cases of asphyxiation. Father Kasper, carrying a small leather bag in which his gollections were placed, came to be a familiar figure in Greek and Armenian circles here and it is believed that he was murdered for the money he carried. HEAVY RAIL ON THE TRACK Attempt to Wreck Fast Train on the Erié Road. Buffalo, N. Y., May 2 .—An attempt was made to wreck Erie passenger train No. 6 at a point a mile and a half east of Alden. This is the Erie’s fast night train from Buffalo to New York and it had a full load of passen- gers. The spot. chosen for the work was just east of what is known as Sullivan’s crossing. The, tracks are laid on a deep fill over a long ravine and at a point in the middle of the curve a heavy forty-foot rail was placed across the eastbound track and bolstered up by huge stones. The train was composed of Pullman sleep- ing cars and heavy day coaches and could not have been going more than twenty-five or thirty miles an hour when the headlight showed the rail lying directly across the tracks. Engic neer Wolfe shut off steam and applied the emergency brakes. An instant later the locomotive struck the rail. One rock being smaller than the one on the opposite side the loose rail was shoved over ani thrown into the ditch. The engine pilot was smashed to splinter: Commerce Commission Upheld. Washington, May #3.—A decision favorable to the interstate commerce commission was rendered by the su- breme court of the United States in the case of the Southern Railway com- pany vs. a Georgia lumber firm, H.

Y., May . }—Two men attempted to force their way into the private car of General Kuroki be- fore it left for Buffalo.

The porter attempted to close the door, but one of the men placed his foot against it and called to his companion to come on. The porter grappled with the intruder and finally ejected him. As the man was thrown out he turned and smashed the glass in the door. It i3 said that the authorities know the persons and their arrest is ex- pectéd. It is believed the men were Intoxicated.

RADICAL POLICY PROPOSED Believed Criminal Prosecution of a Few High Officials Would Do More Than Anything Else to Bring About Better Conditions. Chicago, May 2'—A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: The interstate commierce commis- slon has entered upon a more radical policy in the treatment of corpora- tions which persist in violating the law. Possessed of authority to inves- tigate every phase of railroad business and having the power to bring about the punishment of individuals as well as corporations the commission is pushing its work with determination. Commissioner Judson C. Clements of Georgia, who- has had fifteen years’ service, said: “One of the most wholesome things that could happen would be the put- ting in jail of some men of prom- inence in the railroad world. It would do more than anything else to bring about better conditions. “It would not be necessary to put in jail all the men who ought to be there. Just let one or two who hold high positions in the social and business world be put-behind the bars. This would act as a powerful deterrent, for men then would hesitate to jeopardize their posltions and safety.” Questions of eriminal prosecution by the commission have been delegated to Franklin K. Lane of California, one of the most-energetic and conserva- tive members. When Mr. Lane was asked “are you-going to send some- body in the railroad world ta.jail?” he replied: 2 “I hope that will not be necessary. If the railroads comply with the law we will get on most harmoniously, but if the law is broken then there will be trouble.” BLIZZARD IN MICHIGAN. Heavy Fall of Snow Accompanied by Higl.

Shipping is all tied up, as it is impossible to see any distance. A high northwest wind is blowing from Lake Superior.

Leave your or- ders with us for any spec- ial order work. Geo. T. Baker & Co. Located in City Drug Store in Minneapolis is closed one of the most remarkable kidnapping cases in police annals. Deserted by her husband the nurse girl, identified as Annie Ouestrusky, gave her own little daughfer to an elderly Duluth couple to be cared for. Going to Minneapolis she sought to hide her identity by being known un- der assumed names. Her baby died about three weeks ago. She then secured employment as nurse girl at the Giaugue home. Be- coming infatuated with the infant, or suffering from some strange mental affliction and believing it her own, she kidnapped it Thursday and left imme- diately for Superior, where shé was captured and the baby recovered. In her cell at the Central police station the arrested woman does not appear violent, though her mind wan- ders at times from the subject at hand and her eyes rove restlessly from the j persons with whom she is speaking. She responds to all questions and her talk for the most part is rational, but when asked regarding her motive in kidnapping the child she Is ’slilenn . INSPECT PACKING PLANTS.
