Officials Deny That the Trust is Be- friendead by the Bureau of Animal Industry. Is the bureau of animal industry of the Department of Agriculture really the best friend that the beef trust has in all ®his broad land? This is the question which was raised in a pullication,in the New York World yes- terday, and answered thereinein the affir- mative. That story charged, in effect, that stem of meat inspection which is ried on by the department is run in the interests of the packers and to the detri- ment of the general public. According to that story the meat trust has found it a much simpler matter to have one federal inspection to deal with rather than in- spections by state and municipal author- ities, and that the present system keeps bad and diseased meat out of the export trade and dumps it on to the local mar- kets, where it is sold without restriction. In short, the American people not only pay for keeping foreigners from getting bad meat, but then have to eat the meat them- selves. The publication has not caused as much indignation at the department as one might expect. Dr. Salmon, the chief of the bu- reau in question, laughed at the idea of being called the best friend of the beef trust, in view of the fact that he has been generally reviled by the packers through- out the fight that the bureau has been making for some time past with the view of bringing abou.t-a decrease in the price of beef. Inspired by a Dismissed Employe. In speaking of the matter this morning with a Star reporter a prominent official of the department, not Dr. Salmon, by the way, said: “It might be a pertinent ques- tion to ask where that story had its origin, It is not a new one here. As you see, the story is based entirely on the system of inspection as it exists at a big packing hcuse in Boston. We have reason to know that it had its foundation on the state- ment of a former department inspector who was dismissed some time ago for cause. He claims that the whole system of inspection is a farce. So it was the way t man tried to run it. Dr. Salmon dis- covered that fact, and the man’s discharge resulted. Some time ago that identical story was submitted to another New York paper than the World. One of the repre- sentatives of that paper came to the de- partment with it and showed it to the Sec- retary. Mr. Morton told him to go ahead and print it if the paper wanted. The only objection’ to it was that it was totally un- true and he proved it. Now the same story appears in another paper. “The truth cf the matter is that the federal system of inspection, which was in- augurated in the interests of foreign and interstate trade, is absolutely useless in the protection of people in the cities where the big abattoirs and slaughter houses are lo- cated unless there is active and vigilant co-operation on the part of local or state sanitary boards and health officers. I mean so far as trichinous pork is concerned, for that is the subject which the publication deals with. We can condemn bad meat, but under the laws we are powerless to dis- pose of it. That should be the duty of lo- cal health officers. The secretary has long been striving to have the powers of the de- partment increased, but he has not been altogether successful as yet. Government inspection was designed originally to pro- tect commercial interests, as it has made possible and has encouraged the exporting of meat when properly inspected. Inci- dentally, the interests of our own people are conserved, for condemned meat may not be taken into another state. It is all plainly marked, so that local authorities can dispose of it if they see fit.” Some Horrible Practices. The records of the department show that sometime ago some cattle were killed for tubercolosis at the experiment station at Benning. The carcasses were turned over to a sanitary collection company, with the understanding that thes were to be re- duced to fertilizer. Afterward Dr. Salmon became suspicious and made an investiga- tion, which showed that the carcasses had not been so treated, but had found their way into the local market. It was a mat- ter which could not have been prevented by tke department. As one of the depart- ment people put it, “If we cannot prevent that sort of thing here in Washington, right under the nose of the federal gov- ernment what hope have we of accom- pl very much in Boston or Chicago. Another instance shows now the laws estrict the powers of the department un- s they have the co-over: horities. In one of the big slaughter hoases of Chicago an inspector condemn- ed a steer for “lumpy ear.” It was or- ered to be put into the tank and this as done. A sworn stalement furnished the department afterward showed that after working hours, when the inspectors had gone, cne of the employes was ordered to strip and go into the tank and fasten a hook to the steer. The carcass was hauled out and sold as beef in the mar- kets of Chicago. Last June Secretary Morton, who had given the matter very considerable study and consideration, wrote a letter to Mayor Hiopkins of Chicago, asking his co-opera- tion in the work of keeping condemned meat from sale, and in that letter the Se retary outlines clearly just what are the powers and duties of the department. This letter was not given out at the time, but, as a result of the present discussion, the Secretary authorized its publication today. What the Secretary Said. In the course of his letter Secretary Mor- ton wrote that apparently reliable informa- tion led him to conclude that a large part of the beef and pork condemned by the in- spectors of the bureau of animal industry of the United States Department of Agri- culture at Chicago was scld to local deal- ers, put upon the market in Chicago and at last consumed in the homes of Chicago cit- izens. ‘This is an endangerment of the public health,” he went on. “It should not be tolerated for a single day. “Nothing but your active, official co-oper- ation as mayor of that great city, through the health officers and sanitary boards under your direction, can prevent the sale of the diseased meat, which United States inspectors reject as unfit for interstate commerce or the export trade, to Chicago consumers, The act of Congress authoriz- ing the United States inspection gives the agents of the Department of Agriculture and bureau of animal industry no author- ity to destroy carcasses which they con- demn as unedible. The statute provides only that such condemned carcasses can- not be shipped into other states or to for- eign countries. The statute leaves those carcasses where the animals were slaugh- tered. Unfortunately, many of those con- demned are placed in the local markets and sold for consumption in the cities where the great abattoirs do business. To pre- vent the disposal of diseased carcasses in the city, county and state where the ani- mals are slaughtered, the laws of the United States are powerless. Therefore, the duty of preventing the sale of unedible meats in Chicago and other cities and localities where the great packing indus- tries are carried on, devolves solely upon local authorities, municipal and state. “Permit me, in view of the above, very earnestly to ask your vigilant co-operation in this attempt by the general government to conserve the public health. The car- casses which have been condemned as dis- cared, unwholesome and unedible ought to be burned or tanked, or in some other way —perhaps by chemicals—converted into land fertilizers. If the federal and municipal and state laws are rigorously and vigor- . with great vigilance, enforced, the citizens of Chicago and of all the other great cities of the United States will be protected at last from the diseases which are evolved from the consumption of um- wholesome and diseased meats. “Dr. D, E, Salmon, the chief of the bureau of animal industry, will visit Chi- cago in a few days, and I have personally asked him to call upon and confer with in reg@rd to this vitally important the + e+ Divorce Grant: Judge Cox today granted Mae L. Ward a divorce from James L. Ward. Mrs. Ward was also granted the custody of Mildred S. Ward, the infant child of the parties. The petition was filed by Mrs. Ward on the 2d of last February, but the papers in the case were withheld from publication, she ground on which it was based not even be- ing stated in the decree.

Columbia Typographical Union Modi- fies Its Charter. Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, met yesterday afternoon at Typographical Temple and amended its constitution in the following particulars: A full list of the memb-rs in good standing shall be fur- nished by the secretary to the stated meeting in June of the union and also to chairmen of chapels. Delegates to the in- ternational union shall receive a per diem and mileage of $ and 3 cents instead of $10 and 5 cents, The chairmen shall re- ceive 3 per cent on gross amount of dues and assessments collected as compensation for their services. Not more than $25 shall be appropriated for a single purpose, ex- cept by a vote of nine-tenths of the mem- bers present and voting. Provision was made for a board of five trustees, three of whom shall be elected, one each year, the president and secretary to be ex-officio members. These changes are in the line of econ- omy. The matter of tne issuance of trust bonds to the amount of $25,000 was re- ferred to the trustees. The union decided to give a picnic at River View on June 27. The committee of arrangements are Messrs. John S. Leech, P. G. Haltigan, C. E. Miller and Elmer Dement. ee Travers’ Appeal. The Court of Appeals today considered the appeal of James L. Travers, the col- ored man who was convicted several weeks ago ‘of the murder of Lena Gross, also colored, in November last, and sentenced by Judge Cole to be hanged on the 19th of uly.
