W., WASHINGTON, April 25.—*You will | | get the next news about the prosecution of the beef trust from Chicago,” was the | announcement at the Department of Jus- tice to-day. Attorney General Knox was not at his office, having gone to Pittsburg on an early train for the purpose of pre- | | siding at the banquet of the American Club. It was said to-day that the Department of Justice has little thought of ending its campaign against the beef trust with its efforts to enjoin and dissolve the combi- | nation. Stories of criminal prosecutions | that are to follow if a case can be made | | are in the air. | The administration, it is understood, takes the view that if the beef trust has | really. raised prices arbitrarily and op- | | Pressed the entire nation, of which there | | 18 overwhelming proof, e full justice of | the law ought to be ineted out to those | who are responsible. It is held that the | Sherman anu-trust law, under which these | proceedings will be based, is ample to put | | 1he agents of the beef combination in jail. | | The law on the point is very explicit. It declares cvery person “guiity of a mi demeanor who shall be convicted of pa ticipating in a: | in raint of trade among the several States or foreign nations. CHICAGO, April 2. —Packers place themselves on record as welcoming the | coming investigation of what the Federal | Government Insists is a combine in re- straint of trade. Information from Wash- | ington is that the firms to be proceeded | 2gainst without delay are Armour & Co., | Nelson Morris & Co., Swift & Co., Cudahy | Packing Company, G. H. Hammond Pack- ing Company and Schwarzschild & Sulz- berger. The strongest evidence that an | unlawful combine exists is said to deal, with what is known as the “big three,” | Armour, Morris and Swift. Judge W. A. Day arrived here late to- day and immediately conferred with United States Attorney Sol Bethea re- | garding the preparation and filing of a bill praying for an injunction restraining the packers from combining. Sufficlent evi- | dence is said to have been obtained to | convict the packers of having violated the | law as laid down in the anti-trust act. | Attorney Bethea refused to give out any information concerning the steps taken | against the beef trust. | Regarding the move of the Government a joint statement was issued late to-day | by the packers stating their position. It says there is nothing to say and nothing to do until the legal detalls are taken up by the Government representatives. It | is no small satisfaction to the packers to | realize now there is to be a fair and im- | partial investigation before a recognized | tribunal, and it is bound to develop the truth and reveal the unfounded character of the great mass of misstatements that have gone forth and created popular dis- | quletude. The packers welcome the fuil- est Investigation and will give every ald to the Federal ‘authoritles in pursuing their researches. | JOS ANGEL E. Rob- | ertg, Los Angeles manager of Cudahy & | Co.," denied to-day the Beef Trust | has extended its operations to Southern California or that the high price of meats | in the local market is due to the “‘trust.” | Manager Roberts ared beef is lower | | at this time here than it was a year ago, | and insisted that local wholesale dealers | | are not in combination, but, on the con- | { trary, so far as T:os Angeles is concerned, | competition is open. H Mr. Roberts declared fresh meats are | eold cheaper in Los Angeles than any-| where in the United States. | Buyers of the best meats, including the | highest priced restaurant: said to-day they obtained loins at 15 cents and ribs at 14 cents a pound. Rounds are sold at | @bout 10 cents. These are jobbing prices, | where the orders are large. In ordinary sales the figures quoted are a trifle higher. | MAKES LAWYER A GIFT OF A HOUSE AND LOT | | Capitalist Guerkink of Petaluma Sur- prises City Attorney | Lippitt. | PETALUMA, April %.—B. W.

Explains Why Some Have Lost Seats in the Gen- eral Federation, L] Special Dispatch to The Call. PASADENA, April 2%5.—A tempest was stirred up a. short time ago by club ‘women, who accused former State Fed- eration President Mrs. Robert J. Burdette of neglecting her duty while in office, with the result that many clubs were left out of the general federation. The women who criticized Mrs. Burdette said that her neglect would have the effect of shutting out of the convention many women who regarded themselves as duly constituged delegates to the biennial, which will take place in Los Angeles next month. Mrs. Burdette’s name is prominently mentioned for the next presidency, but this criticism has injured her chances considerably. She returned a few days ago. from her lecturing tour through twenty-five States. When told of the sit- uation she issued a statement, in subs- tance as follows: In regard to informing individual clubs con- cerning their membership in the general Yed: ¢ration, I desire to say that in addition to having explained it to a number of clubs in the parliament at Riverside and again at the convention In San Francisco, I sent on the 19th day of January, 1901, from Egypt to Mrs. 8. S. Stilson, State ‘corresponding secretary, a r_letter explaining again all the condi- I informed the clubs that it remained circy tion: with them to say whether they would become members of the State federation and the grand federaticn, ome or both, and urged loyalty to both. - For some reason the letter was never published. On the 16th of December I wrote to Mrs. Herman Kerkhoff, State correspondin secrétary. Mrs. Kerkhoft replled that she ha resigned, and again there. was a failure to publish ‘the circular letter. Mrs. Burdette exvlained in these side- tracked letters that the State correspond- 1 secretary should at once issue a cir- cular letter urging the unfederated clubs to come into the membership of the fed- eration and that the federated clubs should see that their dues were promptly paid, for upon such action depended the possibility of the club women of the State enjoying the rare opportunity of attend- ing the biennial next May. Many women, wrote Mrs. Burdette in the lost letters, would be making arrangements to attend the meetings, not realizing that they were not regularly accredited delegates, and that, their clubs not having paid their gues. they could not have seats on the oor.
