Charged With a Murderous Asxnult
Policeman cambridge

=
ON Policeman cambridge.
The trial of Charles l.. Fowler, who is
charged with assault with intent to kill
was begun today in Criminal Court. No. 1,
Justice Clabaugh presiding. The circum-
stances of the alleged offence are as fo'-
lows: On the night of January Is last the
defendant and several friends boarded a
westbound Capital Traction Company's
car at the Navy Yard. They were appar-
emily in high spirits, and commenced
singing the popular songs of the day.
When the car reached Capitol Hill and
was running down grade to First Street
the conductor informed Fowler and his
friends that their vocal efforts were an
noying to the other passengers, and asked
them to desist. They refused to comply
with the request, whereupon the conduc-
tor called upon Policeman Henry C. Dam
bridge, who was on the car to eject Fow-
Ter. cambridge was in citizens clothes at
the time and the alleged offenders did not
recognize him as a police officer and re-
fused to obey his orders to refrain from
singing and disturbing the passengers on
the car.
A war of words resulted, and finally. it
is said, Fowler drew a pistol and fired at
the officer, the ball taking effect in the
latter's cheek.
Fowler has twice before been tried for
this offence, but each time the jury which
considered the evidence failed to agree
upon a verdict.
The defendant is represented by E. R.
Shipp and Henry C. Fowler. and the Gov
ernment by Assistant District Attorney
Shillington.

healthful Matter In Paint.
Ambassador White at Berlin has mott
fed the Department of State that the COM
mittee of the Reichstag had not rejected
the bill prepared by himself and the Ger
man foreign office with respect to meat in
spection. The advices that the bill had
been rejected were premature. but he lad
the committee of the Reichstag. 1t is hop
ed that the original measure will be passed
in the end.
Colonel Kasson, the reciprocity expert of
the department, stated that unless Ger
many took favorable action the United
States would retaliate by placing prohib-
itive duties on German wines and hard
woods. large quantities OF which are i'm
ported to this country. Toys will also be
placed under the ban.
With this action in view the Agricultu-
raj Department secured a large nn uber Of
miscellaneous toys Of German make IN the
open market last fall The chemist OF the
department analyzed the paints on hem.
They found lead. copper. zinc. AZ q other
matter deleterious to health. IL removed
by moisture from the mouth or lips. as 10
the habit with children. There Is a law
which prohibits the use in paints for toys
certain classes of substances. and lead.
copper. and zinc are prominently named
among them. Nearly all the toys import
ed to this country come from Germany.
The Agrarian party in Germany since
the passage of the Dingley tariff law has
been hostile to the United States, on ac-
count of the injury done their interests
This party is responsible for nearly all the
commercial unfriendliness now apparent.

On Sausage.
From The I.ancet1

The composition of the sausage Is not
only complex, but 1t is often obscure. In
this country the preparation Of this las it
should bel useful article of food is con-
fined to the employment of minced beef
and pork. The only exception probably is
the so-called "black pudding which is
made with pigs blood and perhaps some
heart and kidney.
Abroad. however, the sausage is COM
pounded of a much wider range of sub
stances. These include brains liver, and
horsefesh. The last substance Is gener-
ally considered repugnant, while, of
course. it is fraudulent to sell sausage as
beef or pork containing horseflesh. Occa-
sionally. however, sausages do not contain
meat at all. but only bread tinged with
red oxide Of iron and mixed with a varying
proportion of fat. The remarkable feature
of horselesh is the high proportion Of
glycogen which it contains. and this fact
enables the presence Of horsefiesh to be
detected with some amount Of certainty.
The test which depends on color reac-
ton with iodine has recently been more
carefully studied and with more satisfac-
tory results, SO that the presence Of )
per cent of horsef1esh in sausage can be
detected.
At present there is no legal provision
for a standard in regard to the composition
of sausages, but clearly there ought to be-
Limitations should be laid down as to the
amount of bread used, as to the actual
proportion of meat substances present. and
as to the coloring matters added to give
an attractive appearance Of fresh meat.
Sausages are extremely liable to undergo
decomposition and become poisonous, ow-
ing to the elaboration of toxic substances
during the putrefactive process. Bad or
rancid fat is. very liable to alter the char
acter of a sausage for the worst. Thus in
some instances the use Of bad or rancid
lard has rendered the sausage, after a time.
quite phosphorescent, an appearance which
indicates, of course, an undesirable change.
The smoked sausage is much safer arti-
Gle Of diet than the unsmoked sausage.
since the curing process preserves the meat
substances against decomposition by rea-
son of the empyreumatic bodies present in
the wood smoke which is used for this pur-
pose.
