EVIDENCE WAS LACKING.
Charge of Gambling Against a China.
man Falls Through.


The case of Lee Sing, charged with set
ting up a gaming table at 33S Pennsylya-
mia Avenue northwest, was nol-prossed
IN the Office of the Assistant United States
District Attorney at the Police Court this
morning for lack of evidence This is the
second case against Cinnamon within a
month which has been thrown out of court
for lack of evidence. The Cinnamon who
give the information which leads to the
raids on the shops tell an entirely different
story when they come into court. They
positively refuse to tell anything which
will incriminate their countrymen.
In the present instance the officers max
.ng the raid secured positive information
regarding the location of the gambling
house. and they weres certain that they
would make out a case against the owners
OF the place. When the officers arrived at
the house they Immediately entered the
front door and proceeded to the rear of the
place where gambling is said to be carried
on. They were seen to enter the house and
when they had passed about half way
through the hall all of the lights were sud-
denly eXtinguished. Cropping their way
through narrow pitch-dark passage the
officers finally reached a door and entered
In the room was a table which was covered
with dice and domino counters These
were seized by the police and the men
seated at the table were placed under ar
rest.
There was no money anywhere to be
seen and the Cinnamon protested that they
had not been gambling. This morning they
told District Attorney Mullowny that they
were simply playing to pass away the time
They were all Sunday school scholars. they
said, and had been taught that gambling
was one of the worst forms of sin.

UNEEDA BISCUIT

The prompt action of Policemen Rhodes and
Elliott, of the Eighth precinct police station.
prevented William Houser, an aged inmate il
the Soldiers Home, from taking his own life
at late hour Saturday night The old SOL
dier noticed by the policemen short time
before the attempt at suicide, going about the
grounds surrounding the Home in a very suspi-
eious manner. They followed the man, and he
led them to the lake. some distance from the
Home buildings. They watched him for some
time, and he seemed TO be trying to decide from
which point he would Jump into the water
Finally he made up his mind and prepared for
the plunge, which he would have undoubtedly
taken had not the policemen seized him Just
as he was diving OF the bank He was taken
to the grIardhouse and locked up until his
mental condition can be examined into.

No Money I'm Meat
! A retail butcher in Centre Market, when
asked to state his views on the advance
in meat, said:
Within the last year the wholesalers
have raised the price of beef from PIP
to 3 cents pound. This makes a differ
ence OF from $50 to S25 in the cost Of an
, eoO- pound steer. Take small business,
that cuts up, say, six steers a week and
you can readily see what a tremendous
difference it makes to IL.
do not think there is any doubt that
cattle are scarcer in the West and that
less number of cars of beef is coming to
washington. railroad man told me that
only third as many are coming as came
last year, and on going through the ice
houses one sees perceptibly less number
OF steers hanging there.
Hams which sold at from Q to 9I-2
cents pound three months ago now sell
at Il IL cents. Loins of pork that cost
b cents two weeks ago. today bring 0
cents. Lamb is up cents pound over
last week, and brought IL cents Saturday.
Cattle brought $3.50 a hundred pounds.
alive, Saturday. AS they lose 40 per cent
In dressing you can easily figure what
they will cost.
FOR some unknown reason, American
meat sells in England ct 1-2 to 2 cents
a pound cheaper than here. To save our
selves we have to advance the price to the
the consumer, and our present intention
Is to advance it at once cents a pound.
and make another advance later They
used to send Us young steers from the
West weighing as little as 200 pounds, but
this they do not do any longer. since the
present price of corn makes ii pay 10 hold
and fatten them. These steers will come
to the market in the next two or three
years, and then prices will drop.
AT present prices | don't believe a
butcher in town is making money. Under
this new seyen-day rule all our bills bear
notice reading:
All bills payable on or before the
Monday following day or date OF sale.
This will stop the practice of using one
wholesaler to pay another. For instan,e. a
man would go to Armour and buy beef on
Wednesday to be settled for Monday week.
Then on the next Monday he would buy
from Morris, to be settled for Monday two
weeks. BY the time the Armour bill was
due he would have sold the Morris meat
and could pay the Armour bill with the
proceeds, and get another supply"
Following is a statement of what the
present retail prices of meat are, and what
they are expected to be tomorrow:

Within sixty days the letter carrier:
of Washington, New York and other larg.
cities will begin the collection of yalua'
BILE mail matter direct from private resi-
dences. To Edward c. Madden, Third
Assistant Postmaster General, belongs the
credit for originating this new method OF
handling registered mail matter.
Each carrier in making his delivery
rounds will carry a receipt book similar
10 that now used in handling special de-
livery letters At any residence where
it is desired to forward a registered let
ter or package the carrier will estimate
the necessary postage in addition to the
regular fee of cents, and give the
sender a receipt.
As it is impossible for the carrier to
handle bulky packages, he Will be given
absolute discretion in accepting matter
il will be equally impossible for him to
carry scales for weighing matter, and
hence his judgment must determine the
acceptance of packages and the payment
of postage. II an excess of postage is
paid, il viii be returned to the sender on
the carriers succeeding trip; il sufficient
postage has not been paid, il will then be
collected.
The carrier will write his receipt in
manifold, giving one copy to the sender
of the registered matter and handing the
other TO the proper official at the post
Office. together with the article registered.
II is not expected that the carriers will
make collections of registered matter from
business houses.
While il is admitted that the carriers
will be the chief opponents of this plan,
department officials say that their duties
will not be materially increased and due
allowances will be made for the extra
work involved.
Letters have been sent to Postmaster
Merritt and many other postmasters
throughout the country, outlining Assist
ant Postmaster General Madden's plan.
Receipt books and instructions to carriers
and postmasters are now being printed.
The system will be extended to all post
Offices having carriers.

Figures From stockyards


The principal meat distributing centre in
America is Chicago, where the stockyards
occupy a square mile of ground. Through
these yards, the records show, in a caIen-
dar year 3,751,796 cattle, 3,6O6, ,404 sheen.
and S,600,S05 hogs have passed.
The procedure in one great packing
house is the procedure in all, and and in
one Of the largest the bullocks are slaught-
cred at the rate of hundred an hour, an
interval of only forty minutes elapsing
between the death blow and the ranging
of the sides in the refrigerating rooms.
One workman cleaves the backbone length
wise; another cuts off the tail, while others
still clean the carcass with brushes and
hot water. The bullocks' sides are then
hung on hooks, each depending from its
own wheel, which slides easily along the
overhead rail. The sides, SO hanging.
weigh 81 per cent. of the steer on the
hoof After they have hung forty-eight
hours loading time arrives, and with it
the necessity Of cutting the beef according
to its destination. At the ear doors the
cutters with long knives wait and with

ters as the destination calls for-Boston.

Sheep are treated in general way as are
cattle, although there are various STYLES of
dressing lamb. From four to eight thous
and are slaughtered a day by one house.
The hogs meet their fate at the rate of
$50 an hour. Suspended from a sliding
chain that holds $50 at time the hogs
move slowly along while at their sides
stands line of workers, each with sep
arate tool and each having a particular
duty. One cuts off the haunch bone, an
other pulls out the stray punches of hair.
