On Trnln* FIVE Ooti NATIONS OF EARTH ARE NOW PROBING BIG BEEF PLANTS Twenty-Nine Govern- Investigating. | IS GENERAL BELIEF; ON .'.ESULT OF REPORTS i HE'S III EUROPE HANGS F~TE OF TRADE IT IS THOUGHT TRUE BILL WAS FOUND YESTERDAY Two Foreign Consuls Send State ment of What They Saw to Their Home Countries. 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.. oobooQaooaoooooaooo Q O MAN, AGED 70, WALKS 357 MILES FOR HEALTH.
