MEAT DEALERS MORE
IN EARNEST THAN EYER
Determined to Push Fight
for ''No Commissions.
COURSE NOT DECIDED
Appeal to Congress Suggested But Not
Favored-Committee To Act as to
Mailing Circulars.

At the meeting Of the Retail Butchers
and Meat Dealers Protective Association
last night, a committee was appointed.
with Charles Z. Ebel as chairman, to
push actively the fight against the prac-
tice Of paying commissions to house
keepers, stewards and others for the
trade they control An aggressive cam
paign is in contemplation and a meeting
Of the committee will be held within the
next few days.
The meeting last night, was held IN the
hall Of the Jolly Fat Mems Club on D
Street northwest, a large proportion Of
the 128 members Of the association evi-
dencing their interest IN the proceedings
by their presence.
In accordance with the custom of the
association the proceedings were behind
closed doors. Regarding the expediency
Of forcing the fight against trade buy
ing" there was not a dissenting voice
The question seemed to be as to aIone
what lines they could most probably
move.
There is an evident Discrimination
among the dealers to allow their names
to be used as it is feared too close
Identification with the movement might
be injurious to their business should
the movement fail. Even in case of sue
cess some OF the dealers believe those
who have been receiving commissions
would refuse to deal with any one who
mad been instrumental in cutting of this
portion OF their income. The consensus
Of opinion. therefore, seemed to be favor
able to conducting the fight in the name
Of the association without giving undue
prominence to any Individual.
a number OF members favored efforts
to secure assistance from Congress. This
suggestion did not meet with g -eraI ap-
ProyaI, for the reason that it was doubt
ed If any measure could be secured
which would reach the evil and at the
same time stand the scrutiny of the
United States Supreme curt. It was also
pointed out it would require the loss
of much tine ana energy &c present the
matter in the proper light TO the legis-
lators.
The mailing Of circular letters to the
employers of these who are demanding
commissions. informing them Of the
circumstances, was urged, but as the
discussion threatened to become pro-
longcd it was decided tg appoint a spe-
eiaI committee to have entire Jurisdic-
tiOn in the matter
In justice TO all concerned it must be
said that While the practice Of paying
and even demanding commissions for
business controlled by the buyers for
the larger establishments of the city
has become general, there are a number
Of cooks. buffers, housekeepers, stew
ards and others entrusted with this
work who have declined TO enter into
such an arrangement and have honestly
looked after their employers interests.

BELIEVES THE PRESIDENT
IS WORTH ALL OF 100000
Representative BristoW Pro
poses to Increase His Salary.

Representative Bristow (Rep., n y
believes the President of the United
States is not adequately compensated
for the services which he gives TO his
country. IN these days. when heads
Of giant corporations are paid munif-
cent salaries, the President of the
United States works for but $4,000, and
the New York member believes that
is not sufficient He has accordingly in
1roduced in the House a bill to pay the
Executive a salary of $1O0.0 900 year.
This increase, however, would not af-
feet the present incumbent Of the White
House, unless he should have the good
fortune to be nominated BY his party
next year and be elected 10 the posi-
ton he now fills Mr. Bristow's 8 bi

feet on the beginning Of the next Pres
Dental term, OF March /. 1905. It is nc

Bristow's belief that the President

ATLANTIC CITY, y J., Jan. 30
While running by dead reckoning
through the dense fog which enveIoped
this coast last night, the steamship
Gulf Stream, plying between New York
and Philadelphia, grounded on the bar
opposite Latham's Life Saving Station
twenty miles south of this city. The
steamer lies in very bad position. and
viii most likely be a total loss.
The life-saving crew landed the
steamers crew Of twenty men as ranfdI7
as possible. but the task proved difficult,
owing to the high seas and the position
OF the steamer On the bar.
The steamer was The former blockade
runner and Confederate warship Victory.
She left New York yesterday with gen
eraI cargo for Philadelphia and GOT
aground during the dense fog. The Gulf
Stream was built in Philadelphia in
1851 and started her voyages under the
name of North Carolina. Afterward her
name was changed to Victory. When
the Federal Government got hold of her
she was renamed the Queen. Suhse-
quently this was changed TO her present
name. the Gulf Stream
Inc steamer was commanded by Capt
Jacob Swain and had Il general cargo.
She is broken open and is now fast 20
ing 20 pieces.
The lest of the crew was taken off
just before 10 O'Clock this morning by
the crews of the life saving stations Of

THINKS He IS VICTIM
OF A CONSPIRACY
Henry ROsO Arrested Here
as Escaped Lunatic.
SANITY TO BE DETERMINED
His Wife Comes to Return Him to New
York Asylum-SOme international
Questions Raised,

Henry Roso. Of New York. an inmate,
since November q, Of the insane asy-
Ium at BI0omingdale. Y Y, arrived in
this city Wednesday afternoon and reg
istered at the Arlington Hotel under the
name Of E. Harris. London, and last
night Detectives McNamee- HeIan, and
Peck arrested Mr.. Roso on information
received by Major Sylvester
Roso was confined last night in the
First precinct stationhouse, and this
morning Dr. A. E. Durham, assistant
superintendent Of the BIoomingdaIe
asylum; John R. Wise, IT., a New York
attorney, representing the asylum, and
also Mrs. Roso. wife of the escaped
inmate. reached this city for the pur-
pose Of taking him back
During the Spanish-AmeTican war he
became uneasy because of the fact that
he was a Spanish citizen, and, it is said,
placed s35. 600 in his wife's name with
the banking firm of Enrique CTeel, Of
the City of Mexico. After the war,
when he wished to withdraw this money,
objection thereto is said TO have been
made by his wife. Since that time
the marital relations have been strained.
Roso of late developed fad for col
Iecting antiquities of art and invention.
He claims to nave invested some $4,000
in curios, and says his ultimate object
was to establish an Industrial museum
in Madrid
Mrs. Roso's attorney says that he COZ
tracted for the delivery Of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars worth of antiquities
more than he could hope TO pay for, and
that this tendency first raised the ques-
tion OF his sanity.
Mr.. Roso, on the other hand, claims
that his confinement was the result OF q
conspiracy to divert the employment OF
his funds from these channels to one
more pleasing 10 his wife.
On his arrest Mr.. Roso appealed TO the
Spanish minister. claiming Spanish citi-
zenship. The Madrid. diplomat, however,
showed him that under the treaty Of
Paris he had forfeited his citizenship Of
that country, and declined TO interfere.
This morning Drs. Marbury and Vail,
of the board Of police surgeons, exam
med Mr.. Rose they concurred in the
belief that he IS suffering from certain
deIusions. and attribute his condition
Ito paresis- They admitted, however, that
the delusions are not marked l. extent
or degree, and that his ordinary con
versation is rational. His manner is eI-
citable, but this is attributed to the nat
uraI temperament Of the Latin race.
The police refuse TO deliver up Roso
until he has been formally adjudged in
sane in Probate Court IN the meantime
he viii be confined in the insane asylum.
