ROSS Addresses by Several Eminent Advo- cates of Pending Legistation. LIST OF DELEGATES The pure food corgress was convened in the lecture hall of the Columbian Univer- sity at 12:30 o'clock today, and the attend- ance exceeded the most sanguine expecta- tions of the promoters. The initial meeting, which will lay the foundation for a perma- neat organization, gives promise of em!- nent success, Mr. Frank Hume of this city called the meeting to order, with Mr. Alexander Wed- derburn as secretary, when proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. B. L. Whitman, president of the Columbfan Uni- versity. In a brief opening address Mr. Heme said: “It will not be out of place to state that the work which you are here to perform is of the greatest national importance. It ex- tends beyond the nation, for it effects ev- ery people where we export our foods and drugs. It may interest you to add that the bill which you will coneiésn H. R. 5441, krown as the Brosius bill, ts in fact an evo- lution; that is, it is an improvement upon its predecessors, and that froin the days of the Forty-eighth Congress, when Repre- sentative Wliliam Greene of North Caro- lina introduced a pure food bill, each suc- ceeding Congress has had before it for con- sideration a bill of this character.” Mr. Hume then spoke specifically of the efforts that have been made to secure legis- lation in the interest of pure food, and what has been accomplished in that direc- Uion, down to the present time, when he concluded by saying: Step in Right Direction. “The bill before you fs up to date, and while it may not be all that we might de- sire, yet it is a step in the right direction and will accomplish immense good to all classes of our people. “The passage of this bill if properly brought to the attention of Congress is an assured fact, if you gentlemen unite in its indorsement, and upon your wisdom and discretion depends largely this most im- portant measure in the interest of health, Taorals and business. “On behalf of the call committee, I thank each and every one of you for responding 30 heartily to the invitation to aid in pro- moting one of the most important measures now before the Congress. Its enactment into law will not only be a benefit to food consumers in our own country, but also inspire confidence in our food exports in fcreign countries.” The call was read by Mr. Matthew W. Trimble. It has sec tra! been published in The Star. Welcomin: Address. Mr. John W. Ross, president of the board of District Commissioners, was introduced by Chairman Hume to welcome the dele- gates to the city of Washington. Mr. Ross said: “There cannot be a more laudable pur- pese affecting the material interests of the people than that which has brought tcgether today at the national capital these representative citizens of the United States. “The fact seems to be well established that large quantities of commodities which constitute the food supply of our people are not what they purport to be. Many are deemed dangerous to the health of the consumer, and very many are fraudu- lent. The effect upon the public health of the sale of such food products would not be so injurious, if the public could have full knowledge of the ingredients which actually enter into the manufacture of the food effered for gale. But the average hcusewife has not the means of ascer- taining accurately what dangerous com- pcnent may have been used in the manu- facture of the food which she prepares for her family—the physician cannot always Cetect the adulteration of the drug which he prescribes in his practice. “It uld seem, therefore, to be the plain duty of the federal government to provide a statute which may be operative in this District and in the territories of the United States, and which may also properly reg- ulate, under the constitutional provision, the commerce between the states of the Union, by providing penalties for the in- troduction into this District or a territory or any of the states, from any other ju- risdiction, of any adulterated or imitated drug or food product. “It is at common law an indictable of- fense to prepare food for human beings containing unwholesome constituents, or to knowingly sell food unfit for consump- tion; but, for’ effective results, a statute is needed to prescribe rules of evidence and the mode of obtaining evidence, and to place upon some national authority the duty of detecting the crime and of pros- suting the criminal. In the preparation uch a statute, while taking every pre- caution to protect the interests of the pub- He, care should be had to avoid unneces- sury annoyance and trouble to legitimate manufacturers, who may be fully mindful of the responsibilities owed by them to the effect of impure food upon the young is especially to be deprecated. Many of the confections which are so tempting to all of tender age are said to be danger- ous to their health. The milk upon which trey subsist is often sold in an impure or innutritious condition. A pill to prevent the sale of adulterated candy in the Dis- trict of Columbia was recently prepared by the health officer of the District, and has been passed by the House of Representa- tives. One Bill Approved. “An act of Congress which had the sanc- tion of the Medical Association of the Dis- trict, relating to the adulteration of foods and drugs, which it is believed will tend to improve existing coaditions in this juris- diction, was approved by the President Feb- ruary 17, 1808. “It is not my purpose to detain you by any detailed discussion of this important subject matter, t may well be left to the many eminent delegates to your con- vention, who have given close attention to the existing evils and to the best available remedies therefor. I assure you that the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, the health officer, the Medical Society of the District, the druggists of the District, the Washington board of trade and our influ- ential press are all heartily in sympathy with you in this good work. We appreciate the Lonor conferred upon our city by your selection of ft as your place of assemblage. You have chosen wisely. The promoter of a good and laudable cause in such a con- Thatis It! The Government Inter- nal Revenue Sees A over on oe HERMITAGE i venticn as this is at the national capital not only has as an immediate audience a gered which is second to none ether in the Union in intelligence, in progressive- ness and in public spirit, but he is also in close commurication with the entire people of the republic through their senators and representatives in the Congress of the United States. “In the name of the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia I bid you welcome to this federal jurisdiction. May your delibera- tions be harmoniovs and fraught with bene- \icent results to the homes of our beloved country; and may you, frem the scenes and associations which remind you of the wis- dom and heroism of the men who founded the republic, return to the various states in which you reside with renewed fealty to the federal government and to the free in- stitutions which are your heritage. President Brigham Introduced. ‘When Mr. Ross had concluded, Chairman Hume introduced J. H. Brigham, assistant secretary of agriculture, who had been Mr. Brighan then proceeded with the rei ular program, as prepared by the commit- tee, first calling upon Representative Bro- sius, author cf the pure food bill pending in Gongrezs. The speaker referred to the existing evils that it is sought to wipe out, and said only by federal legislation can a check be put to the commercial dishonesty. Some men want war, ke said, with same foreign enemy, but, said he, “we bave worze enemies at home that we must fight. ‘When he had concluded a vcte of thanks was extended by the congress. Mr. Jones’ Remarks. Mr. Aaron Jones of Indiana, master of the Natlonal Grange, made a short address. He said he did not come to talk, but to work. He urged every one present to put forth every effort to secure what is aimed at. “Those congressmen who do not help to secure a pure food measure will have to answer to their constituents,” he said. In the absence of some of those who were to address the meeting, the selection of committees was proceeded with, occupying much of the remainder of the afternoon. List of Delegates.

Since the destruction of the Maine in Havana harbor, a spirit of patriotism has taken complete possession of many boys in all sections of the country, and the police of most of the cities have had a number of names on their runaway lists. At police headquarters yesterday inquiries were meade concerning two boys. who had dis- appeared from their homes, but the names were not register2d, as it was thought they would return home. Today four Baltimore beys who are anxious to serve their coun- try managed to get before the Police Court. James Knox, who lives at 816 West Lexington street, in the monumental city, ajpeared to have been the leader. His ecmpanions were John Dorsey, 1012 Hol- lins stre2t; Charles Schaeffer, 13 Schroeder street, and Louis ire, 946 Hollins street. The Knox boy's grandmother lives here, and he had informed his companions that she would provide them a home until they had settlzd the question of going into. the navy. Questioned by the court, the boys said they were not exactly runaways, but three iH) iH ; u ITS ANNUAL SESSION Baltimore Conference of the Meth- odist — Church, RESULT OF aR ELEY BLECHION 0 OF OFFICERS | ae Hit —— Appointment of Standing Commit- tees and Other Business.

Merrill, D.D., LU.D., presiding. The commuzion service according to the ritual of the church was observed in. place of devotional exercises. Communion was administered by the bishop, assisted by Revs. W. S. Edwards, J. R. Wheeler, J. A. Price and Lucien Ciark. The bisnop read the fifty-secord chapter of Isaiah, and first Cerinthians, chapter fifteen. Hymn 316, “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds,” was sung, the delegates joining in the ex- ercise. The music at the church is under the directiog of Mr. Frank P. Wilson of Foundry M. E. Church. The roll call was the first order of busi- ness, more than 22) delegates answering to their names. Bishop Merrill is a busi- ness man in every particular, and pushed matters forward to their fullest extent. The announcement was made by the bishop that the matter of electing a secretary would come up The nomination of Rey. George E. Maydwell was announced, Rev. Mr. Lanahan of Baltimore making a motion that the election take place by bal- jot. Mr. Maydwell was elected secretary and Rev. E. T. Mowbray was chosen statis- tical secretary. Rev. C. E. Guthrie was elected conference treasurer. Some amuse- ment was created by one of the delegates declaring that he would like to see the re- port of the treasurer of the conference of last year, which was intended for Mr. Guthrie, as he held the position last year. Rev. Mr. Maydwell appointed as hjs as- sistants Revs. W. G. Herbert, F. G. Porter and R. G. Moore. Th> following assistants were selected by Mr. Guthrie: Revs. Ed- ward Hayes, T. E. Copes, F. R. Isuacs, J. T. Ensor and J. R. Edwards. Bishop Goodsell Introduced, Bishop Merrill said that before other business was proceeded with, he wished to introduc? a friend to the conference. Thts was Bishop Daniel A. Goodsell of Chatta- rooga, Tenn. The hours of the sessions of the conference were fixed as from 9 a.m. until 12, and the rules of (ne la@&gonfer- ence wre adopted. Z Rev. E. T. Mowbray setecicd af nis as- sistants as statistical secretary the fol- lowing: Revs. W. W. Davis, A. H. Thomp- son, L. E. Dutton, W. G. McNetl, G. W. Evans, L. E. Bennett and J. W. R. Sum- walt. The motion introduced that certificates be received by the examiners of applicants for admission to the conf»rence from col- leges ranking with) Dickinson College and theological seminaries caused considerable discussion. Rev. .Page Milburn thought this op2ned up a broad:question, as it had been the cas? that the institutions in- dorsed by the university senate were cer- tainly not of one gnadez It was the opinion that, as it would be extremely difficult to decid>, and one apout,which there would be a great diversity; of, epinion, 1t would be better to leave the, matter to the board of examiners, relegating the power of the con- ference to it. The question of deciding what institution was on a par with Dick- inson College wag too, complex a one to settle with fairness to all. It was left to the board of examiners, Rey. W. W. Davis, chairman of board, and Revs. Richardson and took part in the discussion, Standing: Committees. The five presiding eters of the confer- ence were appointed, a committee to make the usual nominations for the standing committees, the list as: they present thein being adopted by the conference.

The following public worship committee was appointed to have charge of the serv- ices Sunday: E. O. Eldridge, H. R. Nailor, W. R. Strickien. In regard to this .ap- pointment the bishop made a statement which was heartily concurred in by all the members of the conference. He de- clared he was of the opinion that the min- isters should not be “sent all over crea- tion,” but should have a rest day, and that he offered this suggestion to the commit- tee. This received hearty appluuse from the delegates. Rev. E. Benson was appointed conference postmaster. Charles E. Baker was appointed to take charge of the educational fund in place of W. E. Daniel, deceased. Rev. Mr. Johnston made @ motion that the delegates visit the White House tomorrow, to pay their respects to the President. Bishop Merrill humorously asked why the President had not been requested to visit the conference, and it was stated that this had been done. The resolution for the visit as offered was that the conference adjourn at 12 o'clock and go to the White House immediately after- ward to see Mr. McKinley, which resolu- tion was unanimously adopted. A resolution was offered by Mr. Clark- gon to the effect that the bishop and con- ference the work, in other words gerrymahder the <orference, so that there will be but four presiding elders instead of five, as there areiat present. This resolu- tion was voted onjwand it was decided that it be laid on the tabje. Rev. Mr. Clark- son stated that he had offered it so that there will be a chaneg,to talk on the sub- ject. He explained it there were other conferences of theckeren whl which were about twice as large and wi had no more pre- siding elders thay thi.
