Matters of Grent Interest to the
Trade to be Considered.
The annual convention of the National
Piano Manufacturers Association of Amer
ica will open today at 9 a. m, in the Ar
lington Hotel The membership consists
of about sixty of the leading piano manu-
facturers from all parts of the United
States.
The morning and afternoon will be de-
voted TO business. and many subjects of
Importance TO the plano trade will be
considered. In the evening the annual re-
eeption and banquet will be held, and
Thursday at noon the members of the as
sociation will be received by President
Mckinley. after which they will go to
Mount Vernon as the guests of the Wash
ington piano dealers, and later enjoy a
planked shad dinner at Marshall Hall.
The most important question to be con-
sdered is that of stenciling pianos with
the names of manufacturers. There are
about 100000 pianos manufactured annual
ly. and ii is said that nearly one-half of
them are marked with names other than
the real manufacturer This is done in
the case of cheap pianos in order to get
a better price for them. An effort will be
made to reach an agreement whereby
pianos shall be marked with the name of
their rightful manufacturer

QUESTION OF DEcoY LETTERS.
Assistant Attorney General Barrett
Reviews the Decision.

The decision of Justice Bradley on
Tuesday, in the case OF Daniel L. Scott, the
colored messenger of the Commissioner OF
Patents, accused of embezZling funds of
the United States. is susceptible to misin-
depreciation. The idea has gone abroad
that the decision was to the effect that
the use of decoy letters by postofice in
spectors in detecting guilty parties was
Illegal. The contrary is true
Assistant Attorney General Barrett, for
the Postoffice Department. said yesterday
he was anxious to have this impression
corrected. 1t appears there were num-
Der Of sums OF money which had been
sent to the Commissioner of Patents which
were never received by him. In order to
locate the guilty person the postofiice in
spectors were put to work on the case as
the Commissioner thought the blame lay
with the Postoffice Department The in
spectors followed the case until they
were satisfied that the letters containing
the money had been delivered to the Com
missioner's messenger, and il they had
been stolen they were taken by him. To
satisfy the Commissioner they placed two
marked s. notes in different letters and
ordered the Patent Office Gazette" to be
sent them for year. Arrangements we're
made. however, that the money should be
returned to them IL ii reached the Office
safely. The bills were found in Scott's
possession when he was arrested
Scott was charged with embezzling funds
of the Government, and Justice Bradley in
his opinion, held the money did not belong
to the Government, never having reached
the proper officials, and having been sent
without any intention of its ever becoming
the property of the Government 1t was,
therefore, the property of the inspectors
who sent ii and the indictment was de-
fective.
This said Mr.. Barrett, does not in
any manner affect the decoy letter system
The question was not as to the employment
OF this agency in the Scott case but of the
ownership of the money. There were for
merly many decisions of the lower courts
in regard to the use of decoy letters in
catching postal thieves. II was often held
that as the letters were addressed to fic-
titious persons for no other purpose than
OF testing the honesty OF postal employees
they were not mail matter within the
meaning of the law. The Supreme Court
finally took up the matter and disposed of
il in an opinion holding that the use of
decoy letters was proper and legal and they
were mail matter within the meaning of
the statute. That disposed of the case
and we have since had no trouble. The
Postoffice Department Is well satisfied with
the decision of Judge Bradley. as we think
the point well taken. We had scarcely
any interest in the matter after we caught
Scott for as he was an employe of the
Commissioner of Patents and the authoriz-
ed agent to receive the mails. his prosecu-
tion was none OF our AFFAIR. We had dem
onstrated the money was not lost In the
mails and that was sufficient"

heard of canned roast beef up to the time
of the breaking out of the late war. He
did not consider that issued to the troops
as roast beef. He thought il was boiled
beef.
Capt Edward H Plummer. aide to
General Shafter. was called to the stand.
He testified as to the work of the Quarter
masters Department in Cuba. As soon
as the wagons were brought on shore in
knock down fashion they were set up
and were Immediately put to work in car
rying supplies to the front. He said that
the transportation facilities were made
quate. but he doubted whether any more
wagons or mules would have helped the
matter very much. The wagon road from
the rear to the front was at times in bad
condition. 1t was too narrow for wagon
trains to pass each other so that only one
train could travel over the road at a time.
He understood that the troops did not rel
ish canned roast beef, but he heard no
ether compliant against it than that the
men preferred bacon. Bacon was always
issued to those commissaries asking for it
when it was possible. There were short
ages in coffee and sugar. but If short
age in sugar occurred today it was made
up tomorrow.
Simon Ochsenschlager one of Armour's s
employees at Jacksonville. testified that he
superintendent all the issues of refriger-
ated meat made to the troops at that point
He saw no bad beef and heard only one
complaint This was because the meat
had been too long exposed and part of it
had decomposed- He had never heard of
the use of chemicals in meat He did
not believe that that which he issued at
Jacksonville had ever been subjected to
any other treatment than cold storage
A A Kirk, who, during the war; was
cook to the Philadelphia Troop, First
pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, testified
that one-th I'd OF the Ioas baef cans opened
by him in Porto Rico contained putrid
matter, and that half of the contents
of the unbulged cans was fat and gristle
and had to be discarded The troopers
practically bought their own rations on
the island as the food issued by the Gov
ernmeDt proved unsatisfactory
The native fresh beef was bought and
though it was found to be tough. it was
satisfactory. He was stricken with Sick
ness and he attributed it TO eating canned
roast beef. He thought that much of the
sickness among the troops was caused by
this part of the ration. He came north
on the hospital transport Panama and the
fresh meat which was put aboard that ship
at Ponce was then in state of putrifac-
ton. On one occasion, in a case of roast
beef. containing twenty-four cans, eleven
OF the cans were buried because fermen-
tation had set in.
John w. Springer. late a sergeant in
the Governors Troop. First Pennsylvania
Volunteer Cavalry. testified that the canned
roast beef was unfit TO eat, and that it
made men sick. All the refrigerated beef
issued TO his command was spoiled and
none of it could be used.
Arthur J. Feigh, a trooper in the
First Pennsylvania Voluneer Cavalry, gave
corroboratory testimony.
