PLEA FOR THE BORACIC MEAT
Protest is Made by German Chemists
and PRckers Against
Prohibition.

BERLIN, May 10.-A conference of chem
lists and meat packers was held here to-
day to protest against the prohibition Of
the Bundesrath concerning the use of
Doracic acid in the preservation OF meat
and the importation of meats SO preserved.
The opening address was made by DR.. Kay
ser OF Nuremburg. He said 3S, 1000, 900 peo-
pie in Germany were already eating much
less meat than their health required, that
the decree of the Bundesrath. tended fur
Their to reduce the available meat supply,
limiting the imports Of foreign and the
preservation Of domestic meats. In ad-
dition to this. however. declared Dr.. Kay
ser. the meat export industry Of Germany
would be hard hit. insomuch as it would
lose its competing capacity abroad.
PrivY Medical Counsellor Prof. Liebrech
went comprehensively into the chemical
side OF the controversy with regard to the
use Of boracic acid. He said the trouble
with the experts OF the imperial health
ONCE was that they considered the sub
tect from one side only. that they sought
to make a case against the use Of borax
In any form or quantity, arguing from
the principle that IL injurious in large
Quantities. 1t must also be so when used
In sinai quantities. The tendency Of food
specialists to condemn the addition Of any
ingredients tc natural food products is
wholly untenable in practice, said The
sneaker. Health can be injured by the
use OF too much pepper or mustard and
small Quantities Of borax are perfectly
harmless. Prof. Liebrech said he had used
boraX incidentally with good effect upon
his patients. He ridiculed the experiments
conducted by the health once as mere
academic Efforts.

The imposition Of house taxes on the

Mr.. Cleveland was asked today for his
opinion of the effect on the country Of the
recent effort of the dressed beef combine.
1T looks" said Mr.. Cleveland, "as though
the packers had overshot the mark. I
see by the newspapers that the markets
are full. and that the farmers produce is
not being used as freely as formerly, and
that stock raisers are content to sell their
cattle at reasonable prices. I Judge the

likely that the successor OF Archbishop
Corrigan will be nominated at the next

1t is therefore probable that a capitulary
vicar will be appointed to administer the

Shortly prior to his death Archbishop
Corrigan sent the pope a check for $50, 600
az a personal gift in connection with the
pontin's jubilee. 1t is calculated that the
diocese of New York supplies the vatican
with most OF the Peters pence, which has
now been reduced to about a third Of the
