l CRISIS EXPECTED
AT ToNIGHT's CONFERENCE ON
CUBAN SUGAR REDUCTION.
Administration Leaders More Confident
Beet Sugar Men Lose Some
Of Their Force.

The crisis in the tariff fight of the House
republicans will probably develop in to-
nights conference over an effort of the
beet sugar protectionists to force an i'm
mediate vote. The administration leaders
do not want a division at this time. They
would prefer postponement of action, in
order to bring about harmony among the
republicans, If that is possible.
The administration leaders remain conf
dent of ultimately persuading their col
leagues to- adopt the recommendation Of
the ways and means committee. 1t Is not
assured. however, that their full strength
will be available tonight.
So much friction has developed in the
contest that the House leaders are as much
concerned In allaying irritation and restor-
ing the Old-time feeling as in securing the
adoption Of the administrators Cuban
policy.
Beet Sugar Men Lose.
The beet sugar protectionists have, lost
some OF their men since the last confer
ence. Members of the Pennsylvania, Mary
land and New York delegations who were
with them at that time have Joined the
ways and means committees forces. There
have been desertions from the protection
lists ranks in other delegations
The beet sugar protectionists were more
defiant than cOnf1dant today. They held
numerous conferences, and at each one of
them, it is said, new losses were reported.
They have renewed their threats Of joining
with the democrats to oppose a rule for
consideration Of the Cuban tariff bill when
1t comes up in the House, and opening the
whole question of tariff revision.
1.-The only direct protection the American
farmer receives" said Mr.. Tawney today,
lis this protection of the beet sugar indus
try. How can we weaken that protection
and leave the overprotected industries of
iron, steel, glass, tin plate, etc, untouched? :?
Furthermore how can We weaken the pro-
lection of our own farmers for the sole
benefit of foreigners?" That is the line of
argument made by the beet sugar protec-
tiOnists.
Mr.. Littlefield of Maine is expected to
lead the fight for the beet sugar protection
lists in tonight's conference.
A Surprise Prepared.
The beet sugar protectionists have pre-
pared a surprise to be sprung In tonights
conference Representative Tayler Of Ohio
has drawn up an elaborate set Of resolutions
urging the wisdom of non-action upon the
Cuban tariff question at this time It will
be proposed to postpone indefinitely further
consideration of the Cuban tariff question
These resolutions will be offered and an at
tempt will be made by the beet sugar pro-
tectioniSts to secure vote on them tonight

Agrees With Mr.. Hoar.

Senator Stewart agreed with what Sem
atOr Hoar had said and pronounced the en-
tire proceeding to have senators elected
by direct vote of the people as revolution
ary. He said there were many reasons be-
sides those that had been given by Senator
Hoar against the adoption of such a reso-
luton. Rich men could very much more
easily buy their way into the Senate
through primary than they could through
q state legislature. The difficulties that
legislatures, resulting in deadiocks and the
failure of a state to secure representation
In the Senate. could readily be overcome by
other means, anu ii was not necessary to
order to correct that evil In his opinion

THINKS GYPSY ROBBED HER.
Mrs. Ida Delaney Says Her Dia.
mond Rings Were Stolen.

Mrs. Ida Delaney of No. 1907 Missouri ave-
nue. informed the police that she had been
robbed of two diamond rings yesterday af-
ternoon.
Mrs. Delaney stated that a woman who
claimed to be a Gypsy fortune teller called
at the house in the afternoon and asked
permission to tell fortunes. She said she
lived in a camp near Forest Park. Mrs. De-
laney declined to have her fortune told, and
the woman asked permission to sit in the
hall, explaining that she was tired from
her long walk
In the midst of the conversation which
followed Mrs. Delaney took her rings off
and placed them in her lap. About this
time the Gypsy asked for a drink of water.
Mrs. Delaney arose to get the water. en-
tirely forgetting the rings, which fell to
the floor. The carpet deadened the noise
OF the falling rings.
Mrs. Delaney went to the kitchen to get
the water and when she returned the Gypsy
was gone. SO were the rings. The woman
wore a deep mourning veil and was accom-
panied by a little boy.

TO REPAIR EADS BRIDGE.
Part of Structure at Main and Sec
Ond TO Be Rebuilt.

Owing to the effect Of smoke from pass
ing engines upon the iron work of the Eads
Bridge from Main to Third street the struc-
ture has been so weakened that it has been
found necessary TO rebuild the viaduct over
those streets.
The heavy steel Orders spanning the
streets at these points are the main sup
port OF the upper structure. Smoke and
sulphur has rotted the walls OF the trusses
to such an extent that large holes are wish
BILE. In other places iron an inch thick has
been reduced to the thinness of paper
Heavy wooden supports yesterday were
placed in position under the bridge to les
sen the strain until the iron work can be
replaced. The part to be rebuilt extends
from the beginning of the tunnel at the
Washington avenue station west to Third
street. where the stone work begins. The
tracks being inclosed between these points.
there is no egress for the smoke and sui
phur fumes from the burning coal. The
gases have caused the iron work to rust
and peel away.
No fear that the weakened trusses will
give way is entertained by the engineers,
but the supports are heing placed in position
as 4 precautionary measure. Work Of re-
building will begin as soon as the material
can be had. 1t is expected it Will be at
least six months before the work can be
completed.

Attorney General Crow was asked wheth-
er he thought the testimony developed at
the inquiry before Chief Justice Burgess
was sufficient to authorize him to institute
an action under the antitrust law against
Armour and Company, Swift and Company.
and Morris and Company, and Cudahy and
COMPANY anu SCuN OCullu anu SutZDeI-
ger. He said the testimony was ample to
Justify him in proceeding against the above

He remarked that he had given the pack
ers an opportunity to appear before the
Chief Justice of the highest court In The
State. and publicly tell, under the sanction
Of an oath, whether or not a combine to
cut prices Of meat and other food products
existed, and they had declined to appear.
and after hearing the butchers and packers
he said he felt an action should be COM
menced.
General Crow said that he would prose-
cute the cases with all vigor under the Mis-
souri, antitrust law, and that the anti

been twice upheld by the State Supreme
Court. and being free from the objections

BEEF FROM EAST ST. LOUIS
Francis Tells How Bad Meat Is
Sold Here.

Assistant Health Commissioner Charles
w. Francis declares that bad meat has
been sold in St. Louis almost daily in the
last two years. With only one meat in
spector. who inspects the meat supplied to
city institutions. the Health Department
has been unable. he says. to prevent the
sale of unhealthy meat.
Almost every night" Mr.. Francis said,
bad meat is brought to st. Louis over
the Eads bridge. The wagons are loaded
after dark in East st. Louis. The meat
which they bring is prepared from cattle
rejected at the stock yards.
This bad meat is sold to small dealers,
who supply families in the poor district.
Some of it is used for making sausage.
If the department had enough inspectors
we could apprehend wagons, and examine
the meat hauled over the bridge after night
fall. and we could stop the sale of un-
healthy meat by butchers to poor per-
sons"
Health Commissioner Starklof saws four
meat inspectors soon will be employed, as
money has been appropriated for this pur-
pose. He would like to adopt the Govern
ment inspection system. but it would not
apply to local conditions. as most of the
meat sold in st. Louis is prepared else
where. mostly in East st. Louis. The in
spectors can accomplish more by inspect
ing meat in shops and in wagons crossing
the bridge

GRAND JURY WILL
PROBE BEEF TRUST
Circuit Attorney Folk Says He
Will Take Up the Inyestiga-
ton Monday.

Circuit Attorney Folk will present the
Beef Trust problem before the Grand Jury
for its investigation Monday. There is to be
a sweeping inquiry along the lines of viola
lions Of the pure food laws which are said
TO be violated every day in st. Louis by
| some butchers and some branches of the
trust.
Though Mr.. Folk would like to get after
the alleged ring which Is said TO have
been formed for the maintenance OF high
| prices, he can do little in that direction as
there are no criminal laws bearing upon the
subject. Attorney General Crow is conduct
ing a prosecution before the Supreme Court.
1t developed in the inquiry before Judge
Burgess of the Supreme Court at Jefferson
City Wednesday that decayed beef was
painted with a solution of acids and sold to
the consumers as fresh beef. One of the
Witnesses testified that a branch of the
trust having the contract to supply an or
phan asylum in South St. Louis sold tainted
beef a good part of the time and sometimes
the children had been made sick by it.
Decayed beef when It is painted is called
CONCESSION beef. It gets the name from
the fact that when a branch of the trust
accumulatss a lot of tainted beef he gets 4
concession" from the other members Of the
coHlpihe 10 sell the tainted meat at any
price he can get for II. When Circuit At
torney Folks attention was called 10 the
testimony Of several st. Louis butchers to
this effect before the Supreme Court. he i'm
mediately looked up the law and decided 10
investigate the matter.
Thomas L.. Sullivan of No. 2209 Morgan
street, was the one who gave the principal
testimony along this line. James Quirlan,
Morris Prindeville and William Tamme also
gave important testimony. All of them will
be mmon to APPEAR before the Grand
Jury to repeat their testimony.
To sell decayed meat is a violation Of the
law which constitutes it a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine of $1,000 or a years i'm
prisonment in Jail or by both such fine
and imprisonment. The object of the in
quiry will be to get after the larger houses
and the combines who are said to impose On
the smaller dealers.

REGISTERS REPORT READY.
Mr.. FitzGibbon Will Submit 1t to
Mayor Wells.

City Register FitzGibbon has finished his
annual report and will submit it to Mayor
Wells. The report shows that the cost of
city printing aggregated $50, 0s5. %. Mr.. Fitz-
Gibbon says the increase over last year
is due to the expense of printing the
Mayors message and accompanying docu-
ments: the Municipal Code and Charter
amendments.
The Register states that he has succeeded
In procuring license tags that cannot be
duplicated or counterfeited. and by this
Improvement has saved the city much
money. He intends to index all the records
in the Office and do away with confusion.
And he urges that many old records be re-
moved from the Courthouse and be stored
