FOUR GRAND JURORS ARE RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR CRUSADE.
Veil Judge Landis Packer® Ought to
Be Indicted and Threaten to Make
Facts Public Unless Action
Is Taken.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—Pour members of
the grand jury which investigated the
feu called beef trust in 1908, forced the
Government, through Judge Landis, to
Rtart the present probe, according to a
report current here today.
Assistant Attorney Central Wade II.
Ellis, who spent the day here, denied
that there was any friction among t.he
Government officials concerning the pres-
ent investigation, and also stated that
l.ustrict Attorney Edwin W. Sims would
be in full chare.
Ooncernin the Inception of the prejjfint
action, it is said there would have been
no.ii had th» four cllsaatlsfied jurymen
not sought the aid of Judg*1 Landis. Thin
quartet, it is said, was willing to indict
the packers in December, .190*. and final-
ly became so Indignant over t!io Increase
In the price of incut that they informed
Judge Landis that they thought it was
time for the Government to begin an-
other action.
The report of the four jurors alleged
thai there was sufficient evidence sub-
mitted to the l'.Hh jrrand jury to warrant
true bills and that in the face of this
there was a sudden apathy on the part of
thosa behind the prosecution. They al«o
naid that if the investigation was not re-
newed they would make a joint statement
lo the public setting forth their atheory
of why the prosecution had been dropped.
Following the Jurors' complaint Judge
Landis is said to have made the investi-
gation that resulted In the present action
being started. Judge Landis, It is said,
got in touch with the evidence submit-
ted to the 190? grand jury" and determined
the present action shall not be nullified
by Influences arising outside the gran 3
jury room.
FARMERS CONDEMN PACKERS
Threat Is Made of Withholding T*rod-

Special Telegra.rn to The Express.
DAVENPORT, Iowa, Jan. 2TT —The Scott
County Farmers Institute today adopted
resolutions emphatically condemning as
unwarranted and unjust the avidity with
which the great packing interests seized
upon the meat boycott conditions and of-
fered them an excuse for a bear raid
upon the farmers' and stockmen's prod-
ucts.
The resolutions add the farmers and
stockmen will be Justified in withholding
their products from markets until grow-
ing appetites ensure them fair returns
for their labor.

CANDIDATES SWEEP
INTO PUBLIC NOTICE
List Growth in All Districts Gives
Evidence of Splendid Effort
and Popularity of Those Mak-
ing Sncb Fine Showing in ln«
creasing Ballot Every Day.
Mark Two In, or some other man who
thinks he Is funny, and at all times has
a bunch of facts disguised as Jokes In his
grip, said, borrowing an Idea from Hor-
ace Oreeley:
"Pack your trunk, young man, and if
you do not own a trunk, cut out in the
duds you have on and do not stop until
you land in Te-xas. Remember, too, that
Texas has a Panhandle. Don't roost on
the handle; get down deep in the pan,
and you will find more things happen-
ing there than in any country on earth
that you can turn to your advantage.
Don't expect to run for Congress tho
next week after you arrlvo, for there la
a better race there for a man who has
pluck and ginger wrapped up in his sys-
tem. Remember, too, that there is no
such thing as luck in Texas. It posi-
tively refuses to camp on tho trail of
anyone. Texas is a land of pluck—the
best land on earth, too. Get next to the
soil, keep your eye on the indicator and
your hands and brain busy, and you
will wake up some morning and discover
yourself on speaking terms with a for-
tune, hobnobbing with a bank account,
and all tangled In great affairs that
move the world along toward better
things and that great sport that always
lies along the path of those people who
do things at the light time and do
them right and proper."
TOUCHES THE SPOT.
The above is a bunch of blunt ad-
vice couched in language that touches
the spot and has been found true by
everyone who acted on It along those
lines that brslns and industry always
discover.
That pluck described in the foregoing
shows all along the line in the great
popularity contest The Express has on
now. Many «.»f the candidates are fully
awake to the fact that there is not an
element of luck in the effort, and that
it Is one of pluck and popularity, that
splendid pair that has always played
such an Important part in the affairs of
this kindly old world. The swing of
popularity shows in every district and
vote lists growing, as by magic. Indicate
what popularity means when harnessed
with energy and enterprise.
POPULARITY MEANS MUCH.
By the way, what does it mean to be
popular? It means everj'thing essential
to success. Man mav be courageous,
but after all, he Is too timid to live alone,
and seeks society—its protection, enter-
tainment, advancements and advantages.
It is a fact, too, that all those things
come In proportion to one's popularity.
Popularity Is that coveted quality which
some people possess arid others acquire
that swings one Into the very broadest
way leading to success.
In this great: popularity effort the com-
mercial side is present just as It should
be, and just as It must be In all those
efforts of the human which bring the
fire out of tho flint of self and make it
glow In great things done.
In this contest one has the chance to
take his or her measure in the estima-
tion of others and at the same time get
a line on the real constancy of their
friends, test the links, as It were, that
bind them to those with whom they as-
sociate. It offers advantages to every
one In it to lift one's Into a broader light
In tho estimation of their friends and at
the same time make groat gain from the
financial angle—a gain In something sub-
stantial.
USE MANY METHODS.
Candidates In every district are work-
ing along those broad lines which In-
sure results and at the same time realiz-
ing that all can not; win. Some employ
one method, some another. Quite a num-
ber have adopted the chain of letter plan
and are getting fine results; others are
forming alliances with friends who have
gone into the field for them and are cov-
ering territory at a rapid rate and in-
creasing their vote commensurate with
the concert of effort. Hut back of it all
Hen the fact that work wins, that ever-
lasting drive that refuses to quit, re-
fjardless of any obstacle that may stick
in he i "
road.
L-ad up right in the middle of the
CLUB WORK WINS.
Some candidates are meeting with much
success by seeing every member of the
set with which they move and all club
members of the social order with which
they are affiliated. Others are making
an effort to f#t one year or more #u to-
ne ribers, at the same time not overlook-
ing the short-time subscribers. Some find
It to their advantage to have a convey-
ance In order to cover territory rapidly.
Many find it impossible to see certain
persons when they call, and lustead of
waiting, make a date and call at an hour
convenient to the person who is asked
to subscribe.
CANDIDATE STATES FACT.
One candidate put it this way when
calling on a man who was Just a little
slow to say what he would do:
"This is simply a commercial transac-
tion. You got 100 cents worth of value
in the paper you buy for one year; the
management of the paper, who has large
Investments In the city and gives em-
ployment to a great many people, gets
the money you pay for the paper. I am
the only one who takes a chance In this
matter. I get the votes, and and I am
trying to get enough of them to get one
of the prizes offered in this popularity
contest, and I mean to get enough if
active Industry will get them."
In common provincialism that was th«
"pole that knocked the persimmon." The
man saw at orice that the candidate was
not seeking something for nothing, but
presenting a plain business proposition,
and he subscribed for one year.
Candidates want votes; popularity
means a great deal in this world; The
Express wants circulation, and has de-
vised a plan to pay the top price for it.
The field is wide and open to all, and
the contest is sharp at every angle-
sharper, in fact, than any like effort so
l'ar inaugurated in Texas.
PRIZES SHARPER EFFORT.
This sharpness, too, is due to the fact
that in the prizes offered is that some-
thing that touches tjie desire for home
and those things that He at the very
root of things in this world where work
is a blessing that stands as a poise to
that magnetic force that keeps rational
poise in perfect trim for great accom-
plishment.
Take the grand prize in this contest.
The one who wins this, in addition to
having one of the splendid suburban
homes of the city, will find his or her
name heralded, and they will never grow
so old that people will not say popular-
ity, coupled with Industry, won that
home. All eyes of Texas will be on this
one, just as they are now on every one
in this contest. Well they may lie, too,
for this elegant prize is In a district that
has been talked of In many lands arid
has attracted those in the very glare of
the world's vision to that locality.
HERALDED BY PRESS.
The greatest news bureau In the world,
the Associated PresS, has exploited this
locality and showed the splendid healing
qualities of the waters which have made
the locality, as well as San Antonio and
Texas, famous along a line that is sought
by everyone.
The New York World, noting the bene-
fits the late Edward Harriman got at
the famous Hot Wells, In the park that
bears the name of the wells, says:
"A year ago, when Mr. Harriman first
realized the serious nature of his illness,
under the advice of his physician, he
went to San Antonio, Tex., and camped
near the Hot Wells. Their waters have
a temperature of 110 degrees and aro
strongly impregnated with sulphur. At
the outset Mr. Harriman was directed to
avoid all nervous strain. Ho was com-
pletely isolated In his Texas camp, but
he could not refrain from keeping In
touch with Wall Streot and his railroads.
Even with this handicap he Improved,
and against the judgment of his doctor
he went to the Pacific Coast."
PLANNED TO RETURN.
Subsequent to this he tried the waters
famous in Europe, but not getting relief,
he had planned to return to the famous
Hot Wells In San Antonio, where he ob-
tained relief, when he went down with
the attack that proved fatal.
This splendid homo that will go to
some of the candidates in this contest,
for all can compete for it, is in a dis-
trict that is known the world over for
the curative powers of its waters, those
waters that gave relief to the greatest
railroad manager his or any other coun-
try has ever seen, the man who knew
railroading from the brakes to the office
of president of one of the great systems
of the world.

endorse meat boycott
TRADES COUNCIL BELIEVES THE
MOVE A GOOD ONE.
City Administration Is Also Petitioned
to Inaugurate Eight-hour Shifts for
Policemen in Order to Increase
Their Efficiency.
The meat boycott was endorsed and
the city petitioned to have an eight-
hour shift for the policemen at a meet-
ing of the Trades Council Thursday
night. The latter action was sug-
gested as a means of making officers
nioro efficient to stop the many crimes
now being committed In San Antonio.
The first matter taken up by the coun-
cil for consideration was the question of
the boycott of meat on account of the
high prices. The following resolutions
were adopted:
"Whereas the high prices now prevail-
ing upon the finished products of the
packing trust are extortionate and inimi-
cal to the future welfare of the working
men, therefore be it
"Resolved. That the San Antonio
Trades Council approves the antlmeat
boycott now being made throughout the
country, feeling that in so doing it casts
no reflection upon the producer but adds
its protest against the selfish greed of
the sptcial interests that wish to control
the necessaries of life."
While there Is nothing mandatory in
the resolution pledging the union men of
the city to abstain from meat, yet many
of them pledged themselves to act as in-
dividuals in the matter.
A number of members of tho council
expressed themselves as believing that
it was Impossible for policemen to work
twelve hours without rest and maintain
efficiency. It was argued that the hours
are too long and the pay too small to get
good men. Working shifts of eight hours
each was suggested as a plan to better
condition*.
A resolution was passed to the effect
that "It ls> th-?! sense of the Trades Coun-
cil that. If the municipal authorities
would put the police force on an eight-
hour shift, the officers would he more
efficient to stop tho many crimes now
being perpetrated in our city."

At least a portion of the undesirable
class of Kan Antonio's citizenship has
gone. Thursday marked the great exodus,
according to the police. Pursuant to or-
ders from the police department, giving
them until midnight Thursday to leave
town or show visible means of support,
the suspicious characters, vagrants, unde-
sirables and worthless persons took it
upon themselves to leave San Antonio.
Captain McCabe, Assistant Chief of
Police, said early Friday morning that
the streets were clean of vagrants, or at
least the cleanest he had seen since last
July, wh?n Ban Antonio was exception-
ally free from the worthless classes. Cap-
tain McCabe made his usual rounds
Thursday and discovered all the old
haunts of the idle classes vacated.
Chief Van Riper detained several vag-
rants at police headquarters Thursday
afternoon, but on condition that they
leave the city before 10 o'clock Thursday
night, they were freed. The chief an-
nounced that his detectives reported more
well-known vags leaving the city than
ever left San Antonio in one day before.
Every outgoing train carried manv of
the undesirables who had enough funds
to buy their tickets.
At roll call Thursday night, when tho
night shift of the police force went on
duty, a man who Is thought by the pollcu
to be a professional pickpocket, was
brought before the patrolmen. The reason
given foi thla was I hat the men could
become more acquainted with the appear-
ance of a professional criminal, and so
aeep out a better watch on their different
teats for pickpockets, robbers and thugs
in general.
"I never saw the streets freer from
professional vags than they were Thurs-
day night," said Captain McCabe, in
speaking of the situation, early Friday
morning. "If they have not left the city,
they are keeping In very close to their
looms, or where they ctay. We know
that a large number have left town. We
intend to keep the city free from all such
persons in the future. .Never before have
the patiolmen been Instructed to keep as
sharp a lookout for the least suspicious
person, and every man on the force is
determined to do his duty."

MAYOR OF TUCSON IS HERE
He Says Arizona Is Waiting Patiently
for Statehood.
Ben Heney of Tucson. Ariz., was at the
Gunter Hotel Thursday night en route to
Bockport to look after some property
interests in that section of the country.
Mr. Heney is mayor of Tucson and says
that his city, as well as Arizona, is keep-
ing- pace with the general growth oC the
Southwest, and that development is rapid
in agriculture since Irrigation projects
have been put in operation. In discuss-
ing the statehood proposition, Mr. Heney
said:
"We ore waiting and watching devel-
opments of this session of Congress and,
although we want statehood at once, we
aro willing to wait and let Congress map
out the program to pursue in holding
two elections before giving us the right
of self-government. We feel sure of get-
ting statehood at this session, and are
willing to hold the two elections, as sug-
gested by Mr. Taft, to secure it. When
wo do hold our elections we are expect-
ing a warm time. William J. Bryan has
a son living in Tucson, and that young
man will do some speech-making In be-
half of securing certain sections In the
constitution that are a good deal like
the Oklahoma constitution."
