HETEROGENEOUS MASS.
"Pure Refined Lard" Has Another
Airing,

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE house
committee on lard had hearing to-day.
MIR. Sinclair, of Chicago, secretary OF
the Butchers Cattle Protective associa-
ton, spoke briefly against the sale OF
what he declared to be heterogeneous
mass of cottonseed oil, pure lard and
stearine-a vile compOund-under the
name OF pure or refined lard. He wanted
protection for pure lard by the branding
of all compounds, SO that people who
would not be honest at their own Y0-
litiOn, should be compelled to be so. lie
made fierce attack upon Armour q Co.,
and contended that few millionaires
should not be allowed to control the
food products of the country. There
were the manufacturers OF shoddy
goods which they were willing to make
the people believe were pure wool. In
reply to a question by Mr.. Wilson, he
said that st. Louis firm, contractors
for dead hogs, shipped white grease in
new barrels to one of the manufacturers
of refined lard. The coarser grades OF
grease were put up in old oil barrels,
and he thought the inference to be
drawn was that the white grease put up
in new barrels was used in the manu-
facture of refined lard. Mr.. Fox in
quired if witness knew that refined
lard was ''vile compound" and re-
ceived an affirmative reply.
Mr.. FOx-Are these compounds any
worse than lard made from CUTS, from
heads not properly cleaned, from parts
of the animal with the hair on, from dis
eased hogs, and sometimes from dead
hogs?
Witness-I do not think so, if such a
compound exists.
Mr.. Fox-How do you know that dead
hog grease is used in refined lard?
Witness-It has been used and adj
mitted to be. l think it was stated here
that it was used some years ago. :.
Mr.. Carruth-Do you know for fact
that hog grease goes into refined lard?

Mr.. Carruth-Who understands it?
Witness--The general public.
Mr.. Carruth-You do not know any
thing about it?
Witness-Mr. Wilson read to the COM
mittee extracts from testimony taken by
the interstate commission to the effect
that cottonSeed oil was transported in
kerosene tanks.
Mr.. Fox said that he would at the
proper time bring in testimony to show
that the oil used in refined lard was not
SO transported. Adjourned.

tain White Caps" and was decorated

either by crank, or by some one who
considered it joke.
The following from Toleda, O., under
same date: Prof. III. G. Gardner, super
intendent of schools at Deshler, re-
ceived to-day letter of which the fol-
lowing is verbatim copy: eve have
been informed of your conduct-raw-
hiding children and acting up with
women and such-and We will give you
fair warning if we hear Of any more of
it we will warn you to leave the state,
and if you don't we will call on you and
woe be unto you-remember." The
letter was signed ''The White Caps"
and was written in red ink and con-
tanned the usual drawing of black
snake whip in the upper left hand cor
ner. 1t was mailed at Sydney, O. The
professor is not at all alarmed, and saws
that if the white-covered gentlemen
honor him with a call they will meet a
warm reception. There is great excite
ment over the appearance of the White
Caps at Defiance, southwest of here, and
at Bucyrus, southeast of here. At De-
fiance it is exported that the marauders

at other points along the border that a

through Canada and that an effort would
be made to smuggle it across the border
somewhere in this district. Yes
terday afternoon four customs officers
were dispatched up the shore with
instructions to look after consignment
of the drug which would be landed
probably at Sand Beach or near there.

fully executed in so far as securing tbs.
drug is concerned, but no arrests have
been made. The opium was landed
from little schooner near Port Hope
and hidden on the shore, the schooner
at once putting back to Canada.
The officers found the opium last
night, but the confederate who was
guarding it escaped. The opium is
valued at about 500, 600 and was brought
from Vancouver, B. c. 1t is believed
that Labelle. the famous smuggler who
recently escaped from the United States
officials after he had been arrested here
and was being taken to Detroit, was
engaged in the present enterprise.
Arrests are almost sure to follow.
