ALARM NEWPORT CoTTAGERs
Telegraphic Orders Sent to Remove
Valuable Portable Property.

Newport, r. L, March 1.-Considera-
bic commOtion was seen at the castles
of millionaires on the cliffs today, when
the caretakers received Geographic in
structiOns to remove valuable paint
ings, bric-a-brac and silverware to
places of security.
Several large loads were shipped by
freight to New York and several car
loads sent to inland storehOuseS and
safe deposit companies in Providence.
While there are S25, 0O0, 900 invested in
houses on the sea cliff, there is abso-
1utely no protection against an enc
my's long range guns, and the removal
of valuabIes indicates that the wealthy
owners fully realize that in case of war
insurance risks become doubtful, and
that they would have to suffer the en-
tire loss if bombarded.

AWAY IT GOES.
Meat Inspection Law Declared Un-
constitutional by the Federal
Court.

Kansas City, March 1.-The entire
system of government inspection of
meat which has been established in the
packing houses of the United States
has been declared to be unconstitution-
al, ineffective and void in an opinion
handed down in the United States dis
trlct court by Judge John 2. Rogers,
federal judge at Fort Smith, Ark, who
is sitting for Judge Phillips.
An indictment against Harry Boyer,
foreman of the fresh meat department
of the Jacob bold Packing company,
charged with attempting to bride
government meat inspector, was quash-
ed on the ground that congress had no
power to create the office of meat in
spector, so that if Boyer had attempt
ed to bride an inspector, as was charg-
ed, in the indictment, he did not com
nit OffenSe against the government.
Under the decision of Judge Rogers.
packers may disregard the meat in
spectors without fear of successful
prosecution because the law by which
the inspection was created has been de-
clared invalid.
Harry Boyer was indicted by the fed
eral grand jury in November, 1897. on
three counts, charging him with offer
ing at three different times sums of
money and regular salaries to assistant
meat inspectors if they would allow
employees of the packing house to carry
away condemned carcasSeS, Ostensibly
to the offal tank. Boyer desired, it was
charged, to use the carcasses of ''lumpy
jaw stock in bologna sausage. The
inspectors swOre out afhda.vits before
District United States Attorney Walker
to the effect that they had been offer
ed the brides. Boyer's attorney de-
INJURED to the indictment on the ground
that the carcasses which were inspected
were not subjects of interstate COM
merce and that therefore the govern
ment had no right to impose police reg
ulatiOns at the packing houses. In his
decision, Judge Rogers says:
Narrowed down the SimOIR question
is, whether the duties alleged in the
indictment, which the inspectors were
required, under the rules and regula-
tions of the secretary of agriculture to
perform, were such duties as belonged
to the state of Missouri or to the
United States"
The powers of congress are expressly
granted or indicated by direct implica-
ton, the judge said, and he held that
the constitution made no provision for
the passage of laws creating packing
house inspection. Congress regulates
commerce with foreign nations, among
the several states and with the Indian
tribes according to the provisions of
the constitution, but Judge Rogers quo
ted several decisions to show that the
killing of beef at packing houses, could
not be claSSed as Interstate commerce
and that congress had no right to in
terfere with matters that should be
controlled by the several states.
