Mondell added: “I conslder it most unfortunate for the great packing and cattle industries, for the peace of mind of our people, for our good name abroad, that It should have been deemed necessary, in order to call attention to the some- what careless handling in some pack- ing-houses of certain meat products constituting an infinitesimal propor- tion of the entire product and to cer- tain unsanitary conditions affecting some workers in the meat packing in- dustries with « view, of securing or recommending an extension of Federal inspection, to place before the country their contents certain reports which bear on their faces the stamp of hy- percritical criticism, if net visionary bias.” olayden of Texas condemned the methods used in placing the Neill-Rey- nolds report before the public. . “For days,” he said, “the country has been disturbed over the revelations houses.

NEW LIVESTOCK MEASURE. Senate Extends Time of Keeping Ani- mals in Cars. WASHINGTON, June 12—By a vote of 54 to 6 the Senate today decided to consider the bill extending from twen- that livestock m: be kept in cars| without unloading. The passage of the bill was advocated by Senator Warren, who said that under its terms the time can only be extended on the written pplication of the owners of the stock in transit and that often unloading is more harmful to stock than to extend for a few hours the time of their con- finement, The bill was opposed by Senators Lodge, Scott and Spooner, who con- tended that an extension of time would ion that in view of the present agi- tation of the fresh meat question it is not wise to give further occasion tor criticism. Senator Bailey advocated the passage of the bill, saying that it is impossi- ble to enforce the existing law and that the President had directed that the law be suspended during the present Con- gres: e ing to the view of Senator Carter, self-interest would impel ship- pers to protect their stock, and he de- clared they would take proper care of Valkenburgh, District |them in the absence of any law on the North to South; will surpass them In a Spread the World’s Table along every line of longitude from latitude from East to West; pile thereon the foods of every clime and Uneeda Biscuit which make a perfect world-food. moisture proof package.

In his remarks Senator Lodge e: | pressed the opinion that the House would have done well to legislate on | the alleged packing-house abuses with- Eout discussion as the Senate had done. Senator Warren proteste against the connection of the cattle ralsers with the packers, saying the former have far more to'complain of as against the packers than have the public at large. Lodge said that the Chicago ‘nckcrl were standing in their own light in trying to prevent legislation, “If they had not been absolutely stu- pefied by greed,”” he said, “they would have welcomed inspection that would asgist them in reaching the markets of the world.” 5 Senator Hopkins declared that the Chicago packers were not obstructing legislation; “that they will welcome any inspeetion or anything that will stop the hysteria that is sweeping over the world.” The bill was then passed without di- vision. every parallel of all in the elements Crematory for Condemned Meat.

While the opposition has not yet as- sumed definite form, it is expected that the contest over grand trustee wiil be exceewngly lively. For grand vice president the main contest still seems to be hetween Mrs. Emma Lillle of Ivy Parlor and Mrs. Emma Foley of Orinda Parlor. Grand Secretary Laura J. Frakes and Grand Treasurer May A. Dempsey, the incumbents from Salinas, both seem certain of re-election, as no opposition has so far manifested itself. The reports of the grand president and grand vice president were com- | pleted today. The report of the grand secretary, in spite of the voluminous work of the last year, was very con- cise and comprehensive. It showed that the order has now over one hun- dred active parlors, with a membership of 6000. During the last year five new parlors were instituted and It is ex- pected that as many more will be ready to be instituted within a short time. The afternoon session was taken up with the reports of various committees. Among those whose reports were read were the following: landmarks, Mrs. Ehiza D. Keith; com- mittee on laws and supervision, Grand Vice President Mrs. Bussenius; commit- tee on naming mountain peaks, Mrs, Harriett L. Lee; committee on revised constitution, Mary E. Tollman; commit- tee on spirit of order, Mrs. Eliza B. Kelth; committee on ritual, Mrs. Cora B. Sifford; ' committee on petitions, Stella i indeldery; turns, Mamfe Danfels. No action was taken upon any of the reports. An interesting feature of the session of the afternoon was the talk of Miss Salcido of the San Francisco School Department, who translated and gave to the Grand Parlor the pronunclation of the various names now held by the subordinate parlors. A vote of thanks was extended by the Grand Parlor to Muss Saleido in return for her in- structive lesson, This morning the Grand Parlor at- tended in a body an initiation by Ivy Parlor.

Clash of Rival “Booms” in New York May Be Prevented. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO/THB CALL. BERLIN, June 12 — William R. Hearst's chief agent in Europe arrived in Berlin to confer with Wijlliam J. Bryan some hours before the Nebras- kan lefl.‘ for St. Petersburg last night. | The appointment had been made by gcublu with the agent, who lives in Lon- don. Mr. Bryan did not disciose the fatuze of the interview, but the im- pression gathered by some of his friends who saw him during the day was that he expected Mr. Hearst's rep- resentative to propose some sort of compromise whereby the Bryan boom | would not be allowed to clash with the Hearst propaganda in New York. One version is that Hearst's emissary at- | tempted to induce Bryan to decline the proposed big reception in New York in August. WASHINGTON, June 12.—“If Bryan is nominated for President by the Dem- ocrats on a conservative platform, Hearst will organize a third party and jrun for the Presidency as its candi- date.” This is the belief of ex-Senator Patti- | grew, the South Dakota Populist, and |is one of the many interesting sugges- | tions growing out of the Bryan recru- | | descence, which, by the way, has start- led a lot of political gossip in Wash- {ington. | Ex-Senator Pettigrew, who has be- come wealthy since he left the United States Senate, has not neglected poli- rtics while his riches were accumulat- ing. He has kept in close touch with developments in his own State a~ | with ts of the country. He Is now in Was." agton conferring with men like La Follette, Dubois and Tillman. Like other men who have grown opulent, Pettigrew has somewhat modified his political views, but he stjll clings to the general belief that corporations are corrupt. He asserts that this will be the issue in the next Presidential campaign. “Bryan certainly will be nominated by the Democrats in 1968,” said Petti- grew today. “Things have been drift- ing in that direction ever since the defeat of Parker. 1 was on the plat- form with Bryan a year ago when he delivered a Chautauqua address in South Dakota. There were 5000 persons pres- ent, of whom 3000 were Republicans. They gave Bryan a tremendous wel come, and at the conclusion of the ad dress crowded forward to shake hands with him with every evidence of pro- found approval. “If Bryan is nominated for President on an anti-corporation ticket I believe he would be supported by Hearst. But if the old office-seeking crowd of Dem- ocrats induce Bryan to ignore the live issues of the day I believe that Hearst will launch his third party into nation- al politics and become its candidate CALIFORNIA FOR BRYAN, Mendocino Statesman fays All Demo- erats Want Nebraskan and Folk. SACRAMENTO, June 12—"“Mark my prediction,” sayvs Senator Sanford of Mendocino County, “Bryan will be the Democrati¢ nominee for President and Folk will be on the ticket for Vice Presldent. Geographical con- ditions will count for nothing. Ne braska and Missouri are close together, but that makes no differeuce. All the Demoorats of California are for Bryan and Folk.” The Bryan move has com- pletely submerged the Hearst boom. All the preliminary work for Hearst by M. F. Tarpey of the Democratic Na- tional Committee is swept away by the Bryan wave. Democratic statesmen in San Francisco, Sacramento and Los An- geles who were programmed for spe- cial activity in rounding up a dele- gation from California for Hearst are scampering to get a seat on the Bryan | band-wagon.

I\, June 12.—A sensation was caused here this after= noon by the arrest of Mrs. Moses Kauf- man, wife of a wealthy brewer, on the charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Miss Agnes Portrels, who was employed as a domestic in the Kaufmann home. The girl died sev- eral days ago and was buried at Park- ston, her home. Believing that her death was due to unnatural causes interested persons had the bedy exhumed and examined by five physicians. On her head and body were found numerous cuts and bruises. It was discovered that her lower limbs were swathed in cloths, and when the bandages were removed the flesh had the appearance of having been scalded. This is alleged to have been due to attempts to revive her after she had been beaten into an uncom- scious condition. It Is alleged that the girl died as a result of beatings administered by Mrs. Kaufmann, and these beatings wgge due to Mrs. Kaufmann's inability to control certed action be taken to emphasize the demand that in all rebuilding the purchase of building material and son-i eral supplies from roducers and manufacturers be favor: San an- cisco was a blg city and is today a reater city - than ever before. n- ortunately her business interests are scattered and outsiders have taken ad- vantage of the situation to come into| the market.

I had such awful mfsery in my head, and oh, I was so irritable. I could not depend upon my judge- ment, and my memory was failing. I realized that I was losing my mind, and I thought the grave,-or worse, the asy- lum, would be my doom. My doctor said my case was be- yond the reach of medicine. I went to a druggist and told him my condition. He recom- mended Dr. Miles’ Nervine; he was pretty sure it would help me, so I bought a bottle. That night I took a table spoonful, and fell asleep in a few minutes, the first rest I had in weeks, and oh, I will never forget that sweet sleep while I live.
