that morning wagons were driven from the place. I asked the driver what they were going to do with the meat and he said 1t was to be taken to the city.
 An average of live hundred horses are killed in Chicago every month," MT. Patterson said. However. the law iA such that we cannot get a conviction un- less we see the horses killed. put on the wagon. delivered to the dealer. and sold to the public as substitute for other meat.

 There are a dozen places in Chicago where they kill horses" Alderman Hun ter remarked. s.#sg r5zsac-
 Secretary Pritchard grew indignant. Ht brs ndcd as untrue statements attributed to MT. Patterson that horse meat Is sold in Chicago in unlimited quantities and challenged him to prove 1t. MT Patterson did not reply to this statement.
 The trouble arose over a communication from Health Commissioner Reynolds ask" ing that reports of sale of horse meat be investigated. Mayor Harrison trans- miited the letter to the committee and Aldermen Moertel. Forcek and Dougherty were named to carry on the investigation.

IN READINESS FOR
 THE ENCAMPMENT AT EAST LAKE

By tomorrow afternoon at o'clock there will be over 800 soldiers encamped under the tents at East Lake. All day tomorrow they will be arriving on the special cars which have been provided for each company and transferred at once to the camping grounds at the east end of the lake. For the next seven days they will remain in camp, being relieved from duty on the 30th of June. It is the annual encampbent of the Third Ala bama regiment, National Guards.
 For more than a week men have been at work under the supervision of Capt Walter Gardner quartermaster on Lieu tenant Colonel McConnelrs staff. getting the place in readiness. Today nearly 200 tents are pitched on the "old camp grounds" and tomorrow there will be regiment of soldiers who can sing Tent ing on the Old Camp Grounds"
 It has required a large amount of work to complete the arrangements for $50 men required the erection of the tents for the men to occupy, places for them to cat and the food. places for them to drill and bathe and the water supply. All this has practically fallen on the shoulders of the quartermaster and he reported last night that everything was complete with the exception of little cleaning up. which will be done tomorrow morning.
 The companies will begin arriving In Birmingham at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing. The first to come will be the com panies from AnnistoL. Oxford, Talladega,

They are eating horses In Chicago. A great many butcher shops in that city sell large quantities of horse meat every week, and the people who buy 1t keep on returning for more, showing that they like 1t.
 Apparently the horse meat In Chicago Is being sold under some other name. The existence of this traffic on a large scale only became known to the public author ities recently, and they adopted the usual proceeding of committee of investiga- tion."
 An official, who is known as Assistant Pure Food Commissioner. R. w. Patter- son, at a recent meeting of Council Com mittee on Health" brought the subject up. MT. Patterson flat1y charged that horses are killed daily in Chicago and sold there for food. He exhibited a big photograph of a series of sheds near MIL waul5ee and Talman Avenues In the foreground was a painted sign running: HORSES BOUGHT, SOLD AND FIX
 CHANGED. KILLERS WANTED.
 Near this was the body of horse which Commissioner Patterson said had fallen to the ground. He pointed out to the alderman a corral for horses, an am bulance by which he said crippled horses were taken to the place and other objects.
 This photograph was taken,' he de- clared to Secrc .ary Pritchard, after the Health Commissioner said he did not know what we were talking about. I did not see any horses slaughtered at this place, 1t Is true. but one night at twelve o'clock I was near the place and saw some horses taken there. At three o'clock

and Jasper. At 1 o'clock the Gadsden company will arrive and at o'clock the Florence, Huntsville and Decatur boys will come. The Birmingham Bessemer and Woodlawn companies will go into camp at o'clock. Special cars will be provided by the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power Company to transfer the soldiers from Birmingham to East Lake.
 It is impossible to obtain roster of the companies, but the officers of each company and the number of men they will bring into camp is as follows: Company A, Woodlawn. Captain A. w. McDaniel, 60 men. Company B. Florence First Lieuten- ant J. E Gullette. 40 men.
 Company c. Gadsden. Captain w. A. Echols. 40 men. Company D. Anniston. First Lieuten- ant G. F. Wilson. 35 men, Company E. Decatur. Captain M. M. Pride. 50 men.

 Ham. Bacon.

 Providing for the $50 men was no easy lob and 1t took a great deal of hard thinking to study out exactly how much each man could eat in twenty-one meals. for that is the number he Is scheduled to receive in camp. It was hard work to estimate how many pounds of meat each could consume, how much butter or so many loaves of bread and the number of glasses of ice tea and how much Ice 1t will take to keep them cold. After sev- eral days of hard figuring the following meats and vegetables were ordered: Fresh meat, s3oo pounds. Salt meats and hams, 500 pounds Bread, 2200 loaVes.
 Meal. thirty busheIs Flour, five barrels. Butter. 120 pounds. Lard. 200 pounds. Coffee and tea, 16O pounds. Ice, $500 pounds each day. Eggs, 4500
 Besides these larger quantities there arc prunes. tomatoes, cucumbers, cab
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-06-22

bage iellies, preserves, canned fruits ana 36O dozen eggs. Besides the food for the men there was feed for fourteen horses.
 To get all this and pay for few other necessares, the quartermaster spent something like $27O0 and it is probable an other $500 will be spent before the end of the week Even at this the regiment will probably save $500 over expenses or previous encampments with the same number of men.
 On the camp grounds there are at pres ent 1S6 tents, a mess hall l35x50 feet ca pablo of seating 700 men at a time, ana guard house which will hold 50. These have all been erected and each is wait ing for it's occupants Barrels have been arranged for ice water. which VIII oe found in large quantities, large mum Der of gasoline lights have been provid- ed and the gasoline has been bought, which in itself was no small expense.
 The plumbing bill of the regiment was considerable Water connections had to be made and there are twelve shower baths on the grounds for. the comtore or the men and officers, the latter having three of the baths.
 The men will sleep on blankets stretch ed over hay, and in few instances there will be floors in the tents There Will pc n bale and a half of hay to each tent. or something over 250 bales for the men to sleep on.
 Visitors to the camp are welcomed at all times of the day or night. It is ex- pected they will come out in large num- bers to the dress parade and company drills in the evening just after supper. These drills are in the cool of the day and are the prettiest part o1 the encamp- ment for visitors. The quarters of the officers will be open for inspection in the afternoons
