DRAWN BEST GOODS I AT J V LOWEST V PRICES J BEST GOODS I AT I V LOWEST V PRICES J ' EXPERT PREPARES PAPERS More 'Evidence to Be Presented When Grand Jury Resumes on Wednesday AH Other In quiries to Be Disregarded. CHICAGO, Feb. 20. (Special. ) It be came known tonight that indictments have been drawn in the Government's beef In vestigation and that the return of true bills against the packers awaits the will of members of the Federal grand jury who have heard the evidence submitted In the past four weeks by District Attor ney Edwin W. Sims and his assistants. Only the desire of the Federal lawyers to submit an exhaustive review of the packing case and the anxiety of mem bers of the Jury to make the inquiry com plete in all details have worked against the return of indictments before this date. This attitude of thoroughness and care fulness will hold until the end of the inquiry, which may continue for two weeks longer. It is known thit Mr. Sims and Mr. Wilkerson refuse absolutely to be swayed by reports from New Jersey, Missouri and Kansas regarding investigations that are underlay in thos? states. The Gov ernment's law3-ers will take cognizance of these other inquiries only in so far as new evidence, not yet presented to the Federal grand jury or in the hands of the Federal attorneys, is disclosed. According to inforrration secured today, Oliver K. Pagan, indictment expert from the Department of Justice at Washington, completed the drawing of the Indict ments on Saturday, after working over the bills all week. When seen tonight. Mr. Pagan refused to affirm or deny the report that he had completed the drawing of the indictments. There is still considerable evidence to be presented to the grand jury which will resume the inquiry proper on "Wednesday, although it may meet for a short time tomorrow. District Attorney Sims, Assistant Attor neys Wilkerfon and Coderman and Mr. Pagan spent most of Sunday in Mr. Sims' offices in the Federal building working on details of their case. Legal representatives of the packers left Chicago for New York today, sup posedly to investigate the situation in Jersey City where indictments were vot ed against thirteen of the officers and llrectors of the National Packing Com pany on Friday. Those who are named as indicted re fused to d!scuss the subject or make any statement for publication today. Edward Tildeon, president of the Na tional Packing Company, spent Sunday at ills country place at Lake Geneva, Wis. lie will return to Chicago tomorrow morning. BATTLE IS NOT iBATED (Continued From First Page.) Redmond and his colleagues vote against the budget. This would mean the probable defeat of the budget and of course the defeat of the Ministry. He and Healy have tried to work up In Ireland a violent feeling against the budget and have descended to depths of misrepresentation which rarely have been surpassed in politics. One of the favorite statements made by these gentlemen Is that the budget inflicts $10,000,000 more taxation on Ireland annually. It does not. It is doubtful if it adds $2,225,000, and even of this sum a considerable portion will be paid by the upper classes., Anyhow, the budget is for only one year. Within a few weeks from now a new budget will have to be introduced, and, of "course, the Ministry will be ready to make concessions to Ireland on that budget. Meanwhile it would be simply Insanity on the. part of Irishmen to put out a Ministry which is about to make war on the House of Lords that is to say, on the last bulwark of the Tories against the concession of home rule to Ireland. The papers are full of suggestions to the Ministry as to the tactics which they should pursue In the coming ses sion of Parliament. Many of these suggestions are, of course, impossible. For Instance, it is suggested that the Ministers should bring in their bill to limit the vote f the House of Lords and hold up the budget until they had either accepted or rejected this pro posal. This, of course, would put the finances of the country into even greater anarchy than they are in at this moment. And it would be very like violent revolution to keep the country without money for two years until such a struggle was over, for if the measure suspending the powers of the House of Lords would be first re jected by the Lords it then would have to be presented a second time. It is bard to see how the process could take less than two years. It la not possible, then, to take such ' heroic steps. But all the same it is absolutely necessary that the Ministers should make their attack on the House of Lords the very first moment the budget has passed through the House of Commons. On this point there is no difference of opinion among those who support the Ministry. Liberal pa pers differ among themselves, of course. Borne are more radical, some more con servative. But with one accord they all proclaim the necessity for the cam paign against the Lords being- vig orous and prompt. Similarly, all the Liberals of the rank and file with whom I have spoken de clare that any hesitation or compro mise would be fatal to the very-existence of the Liberal party. Winston Churchill in the words I have already quoted sums up the situation: "Wre must march on the enemy's guns." I have no reason whatever to suspect that this is not the opinion of every other member of the Cabinet. Sir Ed ward Grey and Haldane, who are sup posed to represent the Whig section in the Cabinet, have been quite as pro nounced against the Lords as Lloyd George and Churchill. Asquith is a man slow to take up a position, but when he takes it up he does not drop it. I therefore have no doubt that with in a few weeks after the meeting of Parliament we shall have the first shot fired by Asquith in the fight against the Lords. This will have a great ef fect, especially on the component parts of the majority by which he is sup ported. The Labor men will be com pelled to sacrifice minor issues to such a tremendous and supreme struggle for popular liberties. Similarly. I be lieve all Nationalist Ireland will rally to the flag of Redmond when he throws in his lot with the Liberals in such a fight. . , III Si r N III ' Kxr v " il n I 'II 1 1 - y ' ' ii 1 1 C' I I " t ....... ..Ji J. I TALE TO HURT HYDE 1 1 Testimony of Miss Lucy Lee Swope Eagerly Awaited. LAST ONE TO BECOME ILL Hinted She May Have Been Inocu lated With Typhoid Germs on Way Hack Front Sew York i in Care of Dr. Hyde. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 20. When the grand jury that is investigating the deaths of Colonel Thomas H. Swope and Chrisman Swope resumes its work tomorrow it is believed it will begin the examination of witnesses who can tell of a possible motive for the al leged poisoning of the millionaire and his nephew. At tomorrow's session it is under stood John G. Paxton. executor of the Swope estate, and Thomas Swope, a nephew of the dead philanthropist, will be on the witness stand. Mr. Paxton, it is expected, will tell of the amount of the Swope estate, and of the manner in which it was divided.' A report that Colonel Swope had considered changing his will also will come In for consideration. Frank P. Walsh, attorney for Dr. B. C. Hyde in his $100,000" slander suit against Mr. Paxton, will continue the taking of depositions tomorrow. It was said tonight that Miss Margaret H. Swope, a niece of Colonel Swope, may be subpenaed to give her deposi tion. ' Lucy Lee Swope to Hurt Hyde. Miss Lucy Lee Swope, who has not yet been allowed to tell the full story of what she knows of the house of mystery called "Bleak House," where the Swope family lived, is thought to be one of the most important wit nesses yet to he called in the grand jury Investigation. There is a suspicion that Miss Swope can tell things that will damage . the character of Dr. B. C. Hyde still more. When Miss Swope returned from Paris after a trip abroad. Dr. Hyde went to New York to meet her and accom panied her back to Kansas City. It has been intimated that on this trip back she was inoculated with the ty phoid fever germs that caused her toi be taken ill with thedisease Decem ber 22. The full story of the journey, with all the sidelights that would bring out this line of evidence, is yet to be told. Much as the Swope side of the case would like to get at this testimony. Dr. Hyde's attorney is still more anx ious to bear it. He Is Frank P. Walsh, the man who has been keeping the process-servers busy. His men suc ceeded in getting at Miss Swope with a paper, although the Swope home had been guarded closely, and nobody, no matter what excuse was given, had been allowed to enter the house. The Prosecuting Attorney Interposed an objection to the young lady's,. testi fying before the other side, saying he ne'eded her himself. As a conse quence, Mr. Walsh Is waiting his chance to learn what she can tell of Dr. Hyde and his attentions to her. As the last member of the family to be stricken with the disease. Miss Lucy Swope's testimony is held to be more than usually important. Typhoid Epidemic Baffles. The typhoid epidemic has been one of the hidden secrets of the Swope home, that house of mystery and fa tality. Without any apparent cause one member of the Swope household after another was attacked by typhoid. Here is the chronology of the epi demic, i December 1, Margaret Swope be came ill. December 2, Chrisman Swope became ill. December 4, Cora Dixon (governess) became ill. DecemberyH, Lenora Copridge (ne gro servant) became ill. December 5. Stuart Fleming, exec utor of the Swope estate, became ill. December 9. Sarah Swope became ill. December 11, Stella Swope became ill. December 22, Lucy Lee Swope be came ill. RILEY'S MAN IS RELEASED Police Captain Declines to Hold Prisoner of Railroad Detective. Charging that John Loiacono. known as "French Johnny," used insulting lan- Dr. B. C. Hyde. guage toward him and threatened to kill him. without apparent cause, Joe Riley, special detective for the O. R. & N., last evening arrested the man, searched him and on finding a long clafp knife in his pocket took him to police headquarters, where Captain Bailey refused to place Loiacono under arrest. Riley said that he was passing the Wells-Fargo building, when he was stopped by Loiacono, who glowered at him and cursed him roundly. "I'll kill you," raid the Frenchman, reaching for his hip pocket, according to Riley. Loiacono, who is manager of the Bon Ton saloon. In the North End, said that he had been dining with two women and after leaving them thought he saw Riley wave his hat at them. This made him feel like committing murder. Riley said he had not observed or waved his hat at any women. BRIDGE PIERS PROGRESS CENTRAL ROADWAY OX MADI SON STRUCTURE CRITICISED, Teams Crossing Tracks Will Block Traffic and Cause Collisions, ' Is Fear Expressed. . Although work on the superstructure of the Madison street bridge has not yet been begun, it Is expected by those who are working on the bridge that the structure will be completed about mid summer, or in contract time, with the exception of about six weeks' delay caused by the engineers in getting the plans prepared. The eastern approach has been com pleted and that on the western end is almost finished. Many interested per sons visited the bridge yesterday, and some of them made complaint concern ing) the placing of the streetcar tracks on the sides of the bridge, and thus forcing all the wagon traffic to cross the tracks on the Inclines at the ends, in order to reach their proper places in the center of the bridge. It was asserted by some of the visitors to the bridge yesterday that serious dan ger from collisions and congestion of traffic would be the result. Two piers nearest the eastern . end of the bridge has been completed and are ready for receiving the superstructure. The original plan of constructing the superstructure on barges, and putting It later in its final place has been aban doned, and it is Intended now to put it together on the piers. The work of putting in the piers Is progressing rapidly, and the third one is expected to be ready for the superstruc ture soon. CHECK PAYMENTS BANEFUL Dr. Kinney Says Practice Is Dan gerous If Stringency Occurs. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. "We are Justified in concluding that 50 or 60 percent of the retail trade of. the country is settled by means of checks and other credit Instruments. Over 90 per cent of the wholesale trade ,is done with credit instruments." Such are the conclusions of Dr. Davis Kinley of the University of Il linois, expressed In a monograph which the National Monetary Com mission will Issue in a day or two un der the title of "TheUse of Credit In struments in the United States." Dr. Kinley says the use of checks is promoted in a measure by the pay ment of wages in checks. Of the week ly payrolls reported by the banks, 70 per cent were in checks. "Transaction of so large a volume of our business in checks is an element of danger in times of stringency and crisis," said Dr. Kinley. "In such times the uncancelled balances of credit tran sactions create a larger demand for money. "Consequently 'there ought to be some means of supplying additional currency when credit , as a means of payment diminishes." Weston Stakes Six Miles. ALBUQUERQV'E, M. M., Feb. 20.

LATENT TALENT IS SHOWN Tliree Conductors Divide Honors of Occasion Rendition of ?few Military Selection Makes Favorable Impression. A programme of music that stirred the pulses of all who had the pleasure of hearing it, interpreted by one of the largest bands that ever represented Port land, formed the musical feast given yes terday afternoon at th Bungalow The ater by the members of Musicians' Mutual Association Local, No. 99, A. F. of M., to help swell the fund towards Street decoration for the approaching Rose Festival. The size of the audience was not com mensurate with the fine and generous quality of the concert, although every number was well received and the ap plause generous. The bandsmen num bered about 60 and they played with an enthusiasm that was charming to behold, but the ensemble effect would have been better had all the musicians attended re hearsals. However, for a "pick-up" band everything went very well indeed and the concert taken as a whole showed what latent talent we have in this city talent that should not be allowed to go to waste. Three Conductors Divide Honors. There were three conductors. Ralph W. Hoyt, Charles Dterke ' and William H. Boyerand afl three succeeded admirably. The wood wind section was placed at both sides of the conductors, and , the cornet section was almost hidden in the wings by scenery. By reason of this arrangement, the full tone of the band could not be heard to the last gradation of tonal effect. The double bass in the brass section should have been stronger, but the trombone section was better. A finely played number was the grand fantasia on Verdi's "Alda." It was ren dered with a swing and rush that were electric, and mirrored effectively the warm temperament of the Italian school Misses' Raincapes $1.98A Misses and Children's Rub berized Rain Capes with plaid lined hood, come in f a n r. y stripe patterns.

Mcallen & Corner Third and of music, possibly the greatest and most enduring in all the world. What seemed to be the most difficult and "catchy" number to interpret consisted of the three dances from German's . "Nell Gwyn." The airs are familiar to musi cians, especially the almost Scotch motif in the third dance. Mr. Dierke handled this theme effectively, and was also suc cessful in his presentation of the "Rien zi" overture. . ' New Music Pleases. Possibly. the newest and most-talked of music presented was iJdward Elgar's military march No. 1, "Pomp and Cir cumstances." This was played with such precision and generous attention to ex pression, that many of the audience afterward went down Morrison street, whistling the air. The latter is strik ingly martial, and musician's of the new school in England are urging that it be sung at all National gatherings and that it be adopted in place of the tune to "God Savte the King," as the new inter national song of good will and friendship of the Anglo-Saxon race. As is well known, ' the air to "God Save the King" is German and not English. The two Herbert and Sousa numbers received the right swing and accent. Ben Driscoll was the cornet soloist and his solos, which were played with exquisite tone and shading, would have sounded even better had he stood nearer the footlights, away from stage ob structions, to help the sound. Mr. Dris coll's solo was the familiar and beautiful "Sanctus" from Gounod's "St. Cecilia," and it received an eloquent rendering. His encore was "The Rosary." H. G. Knight and Charles Walrath played a duet for flute and French horn, Tltl's "Serenade," and their effective flaying so pleased that a repetition of the selec tion was given.

Ten thousand Illinois corporations may be liable to a penalty of $2 each because of a misunderstanding of conditions fol lowing the Federal corporation tax law. This, many corporations have failed to submit to Secretary of State Rose with the annual reports required by the state.
