C0UNCILMEN STILL IN JAIL.
City Fathers of COvinEton, Ky, Re-
fuse to Purge Themselves
Of COntempf

Covngton. Ky, Feb. 10.-Seren members
of the Covington council still remain in jail
at Independence for contempt of Judge
Tarvn's court in refusing to obey his Or
der to improve the courtroom and provide
better protection to the court records. To-
day the cases for transcript to be taken
to the court of appeals at Frankfort was
postponed till Monday, SO that the coun-
cilmen will remain in jail over Sunday.
They have been incarcerated since Monday
last. AS there IS a quorum in Jail. it was
proposed to hold a session and provide for
the payment Of city officials. but no session
can be held legally at Independence. If the
councilmen were in the Covington Jail they
could transact business. Attorney Theo.
Hallam is also still held in contempt.
Judge Tarvin extends the olive branch
daily, but all refuse to purge themselves of
contempt. on the advice of their attorney
who participates in the Jail conferences
Tomorrow night there Fill be an indigna-
tion meeting addressed by prominent citi-
zenS. All efforts to prevent this meeting
have failed. 1t will evidently place u large
part of the population in contempt with
the councilmen, and some fear trouble Will
follow.
Judge O'Hara and S. D. Rouse went to
Frankfort tonight with copy of Judge
Tarvir's order and will move for relief in
mandamus before the court of appeals to-
morrow. 1t is generally believed that the
higher court will not interfere in contempt
cases.

P0Is0Ns IN PATENT MEDICINES
Result of Investigations Made by
State Chemist Mitchell, of
WiscOnsin

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 1O.-Before the
state board of pharmacy, which was in ses-
sion here to-day, State Chemist Mitchell
read report on his investigations as to the
extent to which poisons are used in various
patent medicines sold in the state. The re-
port is the result Of the action of the state
board of health in requiring that sellers of
patent medicine Indicate on the outside of
the bottle the quantities of poisonous drugs
used in the manufacture of the medicines
AS result of Mr.. Mtchelrs Investigations
some of the medicines now sold in Wiscon-
sin will be limited in sale or prohibited al
together. The action of the state officials
in restricting the sale of such medicines is
based on section Of the pure food and
drug law of 1897 which went into effect
January l. In addressing the members Of
the board of pharmacy Food and Dairy
Commissioner H. C. Adams said: 1T IS our
intention to see to it that this law is en-
forced. Many of the patent medicines con-
tain highly injurious drugs. and ! have
known personally two cases In which per-
sons contracted the cocaine habit through
use of a certain catarrh medicine contain-
ing the drug. Some Of the soothing syrups
which mothers administer to their infants
contain morphine Commissioner Adams
will attend the annual meeting of the state
Dairymens Association at Manitowoc on
Thursday and Friday.

MAYOR HARRISON TALKS.
Says the Berry Investigating Commits
tees Report Is "ROt, Mere
Rot

Chicago, Feb. 1O.-AIayor Harrison said
last night that the report OF the Berry COM
mitteee would probably not have much
effect politically, as it was generally be-
lieved that lit had its conclusions all type
written when it came to this city to begin
inquiry"
He continued: 1.-The report of the Berry
crowd will not give anybody any Informal
ton. nor is the testimony it rests upon
worthy of considering. 1t got together
lot of tramps who had failed to pass civil
service examinations. and who were grum-
blers. malcontents. soreheads and knock
ers. These said the administration OF CIVIL
service was not equitable and that merit
was subordinated to partisanship. The COM
mission repeats it. 1t is rank nonsense.
Anyone at all familiar with public af-
fairs knows how the Democratic politicians
hate civil service under this administration
just because it does not give favoritism a
show. They are mad at the commission
because of this grievance, not being able to
influence it for patronage. and that is why
they have fought it tooth and nail and
tried to oust the commissioners. The atti-
tude Of all the machine workers of the
party in power is more eloquent on this
subject in minute than the oaths of all
the Berry drunkards and ignoramuses who
failed to pass civil service tests for want
of brain power would be in two years.
AS for wide open town-why did not
the commission keep on with Its inquiry,
II it found a wide open city? Because il
found itself running squarely up against
the Republicans themselves, and Berry was
called off to prevent such exposure. Chi
cago is a better city than 1t was under
Mayor Swift. II is not possible to reform
any great city, and the best that can be
hoped is to keep its evils in check. and as
far as possible under cover. This was
known before the marvellous discoveries OF
the Berry microscopic commission and if
the commission found corruption 1t is re-
sponsible to the public for an answer why
it did not go on.
about personal ambitions I am able to
say conscientiously, at this stage of the
game, that / have no greater wish than
that my term of service might have
reached its close. so that ! could go off for
a jaunt of six months in the wilds to hunt
bear and elk. and do little trout fishing.
What do think of the Berry report as
whole? That it is rot. mere rot and as
farcial throughout as the commissions
work itself"
