HARRIS EXPLAINS MATTER OF CALVES 'Says Massachusetts Weight Re- quirements Are Less Rigid —_—— | ' Dr. J. R. Harris, tendent, today corresponded with the { Herald to the following effect. lHerlld'n comment is printed also be- ow: 22, 1921, April The Editor, New Britain Herald, Str: Your editorial of yesterday in the matter of the veals of February indi- cates that you do not understand the situation. The suitability and wholesomeness of these calves was at no time in question by anyone. The whole ques- tion was that of the technical obedi- ence to the state statute as to weight, and the Massachusetts weight require- ment in relation to the Interstate Commerce law. As to the latter and the bearing on the question you al- ready have Judge Kirkham's report. Dr. Witte, the meat inspector, has always judged veal as to acceptabil- ity on the standard set by the United States government, then the state re- quirements as to age and weight were 1so considered before permission was given for local useé and sale of veal In his report to me as to these calves on February 18th, his first statement was that the quality of the meat was excellent, next that they, beinz Guernsey calves, were a few pounds underweight. Upon the owner’s request I released these calves for shipment to a state where the weight requirements were 45 pounds, The owner having failed to fill out the proper Interstate Com- | merce certificate, the veal was re- turned to him. 1 enclose a certificate of Dr, Witte's in this case. Very sincetely. J. R. HARRIS, M. D, Superintendent of Health. 29 April 1921, Board of Health, New Britain, Conn. Gantrémeén: - I certify that on February 18, 1921, I was called upon to examine four (1) calves in one lot, already killed and dressed for acceptability as veal. These were passed, being of good quality and fulfilling all tests as to immaturity. 1 was informed at the time that they were Guernsey calves and also of full age for slaughtering; this T had already determined upon inspection. Upon weighing these ocalves, how- ever, I found them a few pounds under Connecticut legal weight and for that reason refused to accept them for local use. All this I immediate- 1y reported to the superintendent of health. I returned these calves to the owner as he said he was going to ship them to Massachusetts where the weight limit is 45 pounds. Attest, CHAS. R. WITTE, Meat Inspector. Witness, GERTRUDE V. BOWEN, Office Clerk. The Editor fails to understand how meat that is below standard cven “technically” in Connecticut should be shipped to other states with the advice and consent of the Health De- partment, whatever the requirements of the other states. We can readily mee how Dr. Witte refused to pass it, under Connecticut statutes, we are glad that we have a force of men that is protecting our tables from the use of meat that is, to say the least, questionable in this state, but we can- not cenceive of the moral justice in allowing it to be shipped elsewhere— even though Dr. Harris may have been inside (he law in giving permis- wion to ship it We admit that there is a great deal that tends to confu- sion in the interpretation of the Con- necticut statute and the interstate law. The {act remains that meat which Connecticut law considers un- fit to eat was shipped out of the state with the consent, if not the advice qas Alderman Paonessa claims, of the !|ocal Health authorities. To the or- dinary layman this does not appear as things shoald be, whether the meat was sent back from Massachusetts or not. And, though this is by the way, we cannot help but wonder what be- came of the so-called ‘*bob” veal after it had made the trip to Massa- chusetts and back. Was it then con- demned, or did the owner receive it back again? “)JOHNNY JONES” REHEARSAL.

Detroit, April 22.—Testimony that he had been offered money to hide au- otmobiles, alleged to have been stolen, in a garage in which he worked in New York and that he had refused the offer, was given in United States district court here today by Jaek White of New York and Bridgeport, Conn. White named James G. Bur- roughs, Bridgeport, on trial with sev- eral others from Detroit and Brooklyn on charges of conspiracy to violate the Dyer act, as the person who had made the offer. White was one of the orig- I inal 12 arrested in connection with the | case, but proceedings were dropped against him at the start of the trial, the government announcing it lacked sufficlent evidece. White testified today Burroughs had offered him money to “stay away"” from the present trial. Government attorneys expected to res their case late today or early next week.

A man who breaks his word in business is never let into the inner circles of big traders for honesty is today at higher rating here than ever before. One may steal or kill with a large limit of impunity. Some months since in Batum, an Englishman was put upon and in self-defiance killel a man. Frightened as to consequences, he began collecting evidence to show he had acted in seif-defense. After he had collected his evidence, he found no one was interested in the case, and also there was no one to whom he could submit it. Constantinople is an importing and exporting center, the logical clearing house for the Levant, with much merchandise in transit or in bond. Americans have traded here in un- precedented numbers since the arm- istice, and some of them have lost money. Naturally they blame the lo- cal agents, the city, the conditions. According to Julian Gillespie, the United States commercial attache, there is often a good deal to be said on both sides. Recently the correspondent met an American arriving here. *“I'm going to stay a few days to make some lo- cal firms pay for goods,” said the American. “So far our local agent hasn’t succeeded.” “This is evidently your first time here; you'd better make that few days a few weeks,” advised thae cors respondent. The American so far has spent two months, and he is still wrestling with conditionse one of which is that his local agent insists on opening his mail and private telegrams, and calling it a “‘mistake."” - It is generally stated that American exporters must begin at the bottom and secure laws ut home which will give consignees mora protection. Boxes and pieces should be properly marked, and casei filled. Ship car- riers should be made to stow goods properly, so that a given lot is dis- charged at the port of destination as a lot, not as a series of separate pack- ages. Also, bills of lading should be properly forwarded so the consignea will know when his goods will arrive. It has happened at this port that a ship with several lots of goods h:}:l discharged the lots in small parts in various lighters, and also without notification to the consignee, so the latter has lost heavily in time, damage, theft and storage charges. Also, cases often arrive empty or partially filled, or with gobds not up to sam- le. ¥ Too often the American exportet has treated this market as a dump- ing ground and sent goods of the qual- ity and nature used by Cook on his voyages of discovery through the Pa- cifie. “These things being true, glven con- ditions often bordering on Bedlam, the American is advised to be wary and remember the common saying of the Levant that “it takes three Jews to outwit an Armenian, and thres Armenians to outwit a Greek."” CONVERTED JEW TO SPEAK HERE SUNDAY Rev. Frank B. Solin of New York, to Tell of Expericnces at Peoples’ Church. tev. Frank B. Solin of New York, minister of the gospel representing the Jewish Williamsburg Mission, will speak at the People’s church Sunday o’clock. Rev. Mr. Solin evening at 7 {will tell the story of his conversion to Jesus. He was brought up as an orthodox Jew. The experiences of Rev. Mr. Solin are very interesting. The Williamsburg Mission, with headguarters at &77 Throop avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., in the Beth Sar Shalom building, carries on its work {and in that neighborhood where there are upwards of 150,000 Jews. Rev. Leupold Cohn, founder and zener:q superintendent, was formerly a {{:Ihl)l among his people. The society is in- corporated under the laws of the State of New York for the purpose of pro- mulgating the gospel of the Lord Jesus among the Jews of Greater New York and the United States. The Mission also has a monthly paper, “The Chosen People™ \\‘hi(‘_h is regarded as the best Jewish Mission- ary paper in America, ddaling with interpretations of the scripture given from a Jewish standpoint. Rev. Mr. Cohn is editor of this edition. The total attendance of adult Jews at the gospel services in 1914 was 17,000 and this number is increasing steadily. helps the poorer Jews paid out for this work. Rev. Mr. Solin will give a brief outline of this institution in his talk Sunday evening. —_— HELD ON RIOUS CHARGE.
