Hr 1’rlrntc Leased Wire.
Chicago, June U.—The beef trust to-
day la being Investigated specially and
separately by twenty-nine governments
of Kurope, Asia and South America.
Upon the results of these Inquiries de
pends not the mere question of the
payment of a few score government In
spectors, but the entire export trade of
the Chicago packing houses.
The trust Is In dunger of having Its
product barred from all of the twenty-
nine nations.
Nations Are Stirred.
Each of these governments, stirred
by the sensational charges of the
Reynolda-Nelll report, and the practi
cal corroboration of that report by oth
er American Investigators, has ordered
Its consul In Chicago to have made an
expert Inquiry Into the conditions at
the stock yards.
And the experts sent by the consul
to make these Inquiries will not be de
nied nor deceived.
The packers have been given to un
derstand, It Is said, that It Is up to
them to disprove positively the alle
gations of Roosevelt's commissioners.
Can't Afford to Refuse.
Any refusal of the beef trust to give
the foreign government agents Infor
mation they seek will result In a re
port to their government that “the beef
trust has failed to disprove the
c harges," which will mean the barring
of the Chicago stock yards' product
from that country.
Alexander Finn, the British consul,
has prepared a preliminary report for
the Information of his government, and
It will be forwarded to London today.
Another report on the conditions In
the packing plants Is In course of prep
aration In the office of Baron Bchllp-
penbnch, the Russian consul. Each re
port will bo based on Independent In
vestigations conducted by representa
tives of these powers.
The report that Is to be forwarded
from the British consulate takes the
..b.ervatlons of Vice Consul Thomas
Krsklne, who made a personal Inspec
tion of the packing houeea a few days
after the publication of the Nelll-Rey-
Holds report.
Huron Sehllppenback declined to re-
venl the Identity of the agent who
made the Investigation for his gov
ernment.
Two Former Vice Presidents of
Mutual Life Give Bond for
Their Appearance.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 12.—Richard A. Mc
Curdy, formerly president of the Mu
tual Life Insurance Company, also may
have to face Indictments If he ever re
turns to this country.
There Is a gap between the number
of the Indictments returned yesterday
by the special grand Jury against Rob
ert A. Grannls and Walter R. Gillette,
former vice prealdenta of the Mutual
and right hand men of McCurdy, and
from thla It Is surmised that McCurdy
has been Indicted also.
Two Are Indicted.
Six Indictments were found against
Gillette, five for forgery in the third
degree, and one for perjury. Grannie
was Indicted for forgery nnd for mak
ing false statements to the Insurance
department, the latter being a mlsde
meanor.
The defendants Immediately surren
dered themselves, and were admitted to
ball, Gillette In 110,000 and Grannls In
25,000, their cases being put over until
the first Monday In September.
Forgery It Charged.
The Indictments for forgery against
Gillette are baaed upon alleged false
entries fh the books of the company,
and the perjury charge grows out of
the testimony before the grand jury.
The forgery Indictments against
Grannls are based on alleged false en
tries upon the annual re|>ort of the
Mutual for 1204 to the Insurance de
partment. It Is alleged that the sum
of 21,044,058, the net profits of the
company for 1904, was not noted In
that report, but was concealed by
Grannls.
The misdemeanor charge of making
false statements grows out of the tiling
of tbs alleged false report to the Insur
ance department..

Kansas City, Mo., June 12.—The four

BEATS TWO COPS
BLOOD AND MOD

Mrs. L. M. Johnson, a neatly dressed
young woman who says her home Is
In Chicago, and who relates t*
markable story of desertion by her
husband on a railroad train a few
days ago, between Atlanta and Au
gusta, created a lively scene In the
police station early Tuesday morning
by pummeling two police officers.
Mis. Johnson was orrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct, and, on
arrival at the station, exhibited a very
fiery disposition. While being escorted
to the matron's ward, stye suddenly at
tacked Turnkey Gresham and biffed
him a couple of times. -A few moments
later she gave Call Officer Pat Galla-
her a resounding simp In the face.
The womin was arrested by Officer
Gallaher, together with Call Officer
Dunton.
Said Her Fine Would Be Paid.
The scrappy Chicagoan was later
arraigned before Recorder Broyles, and
was fined $10.75. She did not have tho
oneir with her, but announced her fine
ould be paid during thq day.
When seen In the matron's ward
after the trial, Mrs. Johnson told this
story:
myself have been traveling in the
South, and a few days ago stopped In
Augusta. We then decided to come to
Atlanta. While we were on the train
about halfway between Augusta and
Atlanta, my husband deserted me, and
I have not seen him since, it wm
Just this way. My husband and my
self were drinking champagne, and
another man, a stranger, who was
seated near by, kept eyeing ine. My
husband noticed him. and thought he
was trying to flirt with me. Ho men
tioned the matter to me, and 1 re
sponded that the stranger was doing
nothing wrong, and was not bothering
me. This did not satisfy him. how
ever, and he preceded to call the
stranger down. I took the part of this
man, and* insist«•»! that my hu-shami
was in the wrong. This angered him,
and he suddenly exclaimed:
“Take That Manl" Hubby Said*
"'Well, take that man, then. 1 sup
pose he will provide for you.'
"With this ho walked out of tho car,
and at the next stop left the train. 1
don’t know what has become of him.
I came on to Atlanta, and engaged
board at the Peachtree Inn. I remain
ed there a while, and when I left I did
not have enough money to pay the full
board bill. 1 put up my baggage as se
curity, and then tried to get another
place. I failed to get board, how
ever, as I could not pay In advance,
and had no baggage. Since then I
have been hanging around tho depots,
and doing the best l could."
