THE BEAUCHAMP CHARGES.
Glen E, Husted, the agent of the
department of justice, who is lure in«-
vestigating the charges against Judge
James K. Beauchainp, district judge,
and J. P. Renshaw, clerk of the district,
has not yet completed his work, and is
constantly visited by different citizens,
who are giving testimony both pr' an
con on the question at issue. Mr. IIlis-
ted is making a thorough investigation
of the official conduct of t'ne officers
under charge, and no matter what his
decision is, it will be based on the best
evidence he is able to obtaifli.
Testimony given l>eiiore Mr. Husted
is sifted down to a fine point, and
those who go before him, find him a
keen crofs-examiner, and that this ob-
ject is to :;ct the truth of the situation.
His report to the attorney general at
| Washington will probably b ■ made pub
' lie wihin two or three weeks.
Each of the charges filed against tin
r-ftieials is being investigated, and th•
lines made by questioning those who
go before him, or whom he calls upon,
are closely followed.
It is not known when he will con-
clude the investigation.—Enid Eagle.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Kansas City, Sept. 11.—Several hun-
dred strikers applied yestcr lay morning
at the different packing houses in Ar-
mourdale for employment but less <
fifty were reinstated in their old [
tions. A notable fact in tile reinstate-
ment of these few men was that they
were all skilled workmen and no
111011 laborers were taken i i. This leads
the strikers to believe that the com
111011 laborers who went out 011 strik
I will be the last to be employAl. Thi
j crying need at thie packing houses, they
j claim, is for skilled mechanics whoi
understand their business and can work
| for the packers to an advantage. In
al probability, it will be some time be-
fore the common laborers will be rein-
stated.
Many of the striker breakers are quit
ting their work at the packing houses.
This was more noticeable yesterday
than it was the day before. The
turn of the union men who make it
uncomfortable for the strikebreakers Is
largely responsible for the resignation
of many of the men who secured em-
ployment at the packing liousis when
tihe strike was declared. Such tactics
as this will be pursued in a quiet man-
ner by the union men until a large pro-
portion of the strikebreakers will be
glad to give up their positions. No
violence has been reported to the po-
lice.
A notice was posted at the Schwarz-
schildi & Sulzberber plant yesterday
morning, stating that no boarding and
lodging will be furnished the strike-
probably follow the same planetaoinA
breakers in the plant. Other plants will
probably follow the same plan and the
strikebreakers will be forced to look
elsewhere for the board and lodging.
' Although a large number of men ap-
plied at the different plants for work
yesterday morning, it is expected by
the packers that Monday wil witness
even a greater number at the gates.
There seems to have been a general
feeling among th strikers that they
should) begin their work on the first
day of the week and consequently it is
supposed that tlhose who have not al
[ will do so Monday morning. Superin-
rea-ly applied for their old positions
tendent Tourtelot at Armour's stated
yesterday that he expected to fill all
vacancies Monday morning, but he did
not expect that those vacancies would
call for more than 100 nie.i. After that
the strikers must await the opportunity
before they can secure their old posi-
tions.
