FOLLOWS NEW TRAIL.
Beef Trust Helped to Exclusion of In
dependent Packers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Having
reason to doubt the fullness of the in
vestigation of the bureau of animal in
dustry made by DR.. D. E. Salmon, the
chief thereof, Secretary Wilson today
directed Solicitor George H. McVabe
to institute an inquiry. The new in
quiry is made necessary by the in
dubitable proof that Professor Salmon
while still a partner of George E.
Howard gave work to Howard in
which he, the chief of the bureau for
which the work was being done, would
have a financial interest wnen the
time came for distributing the profits.
There are reasons other than DR..
Salmon's connection with the Howard
label and the Howard printing con-
tracts that require a strict investiga-
ton of the bureau. Several facts have
come to light since the disclosure of
and the inventor of the meat label
which give sharp point to the query
as to whether the bureau of animal in
dustry mas not been used in the inte-
rest Of the beef trust.
There are many independent meat
dealers who believe it is and has been
so operated. One of the most signifi-
cant facts was discovered by one of
the investigators employed by the bu-
reau of corporations. He found while
gathering material for the Garfield re-
port on the trust that it was impossible
| for an independent packer in Kansas
City to get his meat inspected. Every
plant owned by the trust, no matter
how small, was able to get the SER
vices of the inspection corps.
The regulations requiring retailers
| to sell only meats that mad been in
spected by the federal government put
out of business several of the indie
pendents, notably that of which
| Mason Peters, an ex-congressman, was
: part owner.

Junior and senior students. Among
other things he said:
"Peter Faneuil, as we all know,
built Faneuil hall, which we historians
nave termed the cradle of liberty.
Now, there is on record a letter
written by Peter which shows he was
engaged in the liquor business. 1t
shows he was not what you would call
an honest liquor merchant. He made
his money in an illegal way-namely,
by beating the government. This fact
is brought out clearly in the letter.
Therefore it can be stated that Faneuil
hall was founded on tainted money.
"There is also proof that one Of the
men who signed the declaration of in
dependence was indicted for smuggl-
ing. Just who it was 1 cannot say
now, but it is certain that one of the
country's most illustiIous men, whose
name is almost as familiar as that of
George Washington, was built of illicit
trading.
Throughout the colonies and later
in the thirteen original states there
were many public men VINO engaged

ultimate. 1t is a well-known fact that

WAYS ARE DARK.
Postoffice People Will Keep Watch On
Them.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 10
With the closing of the Allison matri-
monial and introduction bureau by the
fraud order issued by the postoffice
department, Minneapolis takes rank
amongst the few cities which do not
suffer from such institutions. While
it followed in line with the new policy
of the postoffice department to deny
the use of the mails to concerns which
exist only to separate citizens and
their coin.
While it is probable that people
who SO readily risk their money in
such sort of schemes will not hold on
to it anyway" said a postoffice official
today, tine department does not pro-
pose to be party to sucn schemes.
Many of the matrimonial agencies are
not such open frauds as the Allison
bureau. They do have people on their
lists who exist. In such cases it is
hard to prove fraud. Probably some
marriages do result and some of them
may be happy. But the idea of the
agencies is to get the registration fee
anu not to promote the welfare of their
constituents.
In some cases the game becomes
more or buncombe. For instance, a

ELECTRICIAN LEMBECK HAS AN
OTHER IMPROVED DEVICE
THAT is PRACTICABLE.
Patented InsuIator to be Used In Con-
nection With Electric Light or
Other Wires.

If persistency in inventing devices
that will save labor and simplify work
in many lines counts for anything,
Arthur J. Lembeck, electrician of the
Walla Walla fire department, will
eventually be able to resign his posi-
ton and retire from active business
life on the money that will roll into his
pockets.
Several days ago he and Nat B. Hart
were granted patent for an improved
shaft for buggies and other vehicles,
and today, Mr.. Lembeck was notified
by his attorney that ne had been
granted patent on an improved insu-
lator.
The invention is for use in connect
ing up call and fire alarm boXs, cleo
trio lights, ETC., to line wires and par
ticularly pertains to what may be
termed a drop insulator whereby the
connection between the main line may
be established without imposing a
strain on the line wire or requiring,
when test of the connected appara-
tus is desired, to detach any part of
the main line or the connecting line
wires, and thus permit the necessary
tension on said wires to remain undis-
turbed A further object in the use of
the drop insulator is that it can be
applied at one operation to the cross
arm of a pole, post or other analogous
device, and by such action is rendered
both economical in structure and labor
saving in application with respect to
the old device, wherein a lineman is
required to individually secure insula-
tors to a Cross-arm similar device.
Local electricians and linemen who
have inspected the model of the insu-
lator claim that it is perfect and will
prove to be one of great assistance tc
them in their work and is better than
any similar device that has ever beer
used.

somersault turned by an automobile
the neck Of James L. Darrah, young
millionaire, was broken. By his side
at the time sat Miss Bette White of

lated in a ride of 20 miles in the coun-
try and the auto was being driven by
Mr.. Darrah at 40 miles an hour in or

threw the machine to one side and
struck the wagon in such a way that
the machine leaped into the air, turn
ed upside down and then bounded for

auto, his neck was broken, and he
died in a few minutes. Miss White
was hurled 20 feet and badly bruised.

CLIMBING MOUNT WASHINGTON.

10 some IL may seem a bit incongruous to
have the nobest mountain peak In Eastern
America used as testing ground for gasolene
locomotives. but. on the whole, the visit of the
automobiles to Mount Washington is likely TO
have profitable and commendable results Max
ers and operators of the machines should learn
much from these tests concerning the faults
and limitations of their mechanism and the inn
provements which are to be made before the
motor car reaches anything like perfection.
We cannot, however, help regarding it as I'M
fortunate that the chief. if not the sole, aim
should have been TO see which machine could
make the ascent most quickly. Perhaps in
such weather as we have lately had men were
justified in Fastening TO spot where snow
banks were still TO be found and overcoats were
comfortable. But on what other ground should
they wish TO make the ascent in half hour?
For all legitimate enjoyment a half day would
be preferable. OF course the automobiles time
of ascent is much less than that of horses.
even of the railroad train; but horses and the
trains have been making the ascent in the most
matter of fact and commonplace way for many
years Can Ii be said that the automobiles are
as sure and trustworthy?
There is the lesson. or one of the lessons,
which we have often suggested in these columns
the need of providing in these machines
greater trustwOrthiness and efficiency rather
than mere speed. There may be few pace
crazy scOrchers who esteem most highly the
ability of an automobile to tear along the AL
bany Post Road or the Ocean Parkway at
three or four times the legal rate of speed. We
are convinced the great majority of people
would prefer machines that would be sure of
running at fifteen miles an hour all day with
out breaking down and that would climb hills
and mountains without any more fuss than
horses make in doing the same thing

VIOLATED LABOR AGREEMENTS.

IL the statements made on behalf of the Penn

The Blackwell's Island Bridge is a great pub
lie work the speedy completion of which is i'm
portant to thousands especially of the working
people for whose welfare the labor leaders pro-
fess deep concern. Appreciating this, the bridge
contractors entered, according TO their state
ment into trade agreement with the unions
which provided against sympathetic strikes
Unless the workers On the bridge had a griev

agreement, and that the housesmithS employed

in violation OF their agreement when they have

might have learned the folly of such methods

THE RUSSIAN W4RSHIPS.

Bitter regret must be felt in Russia that her
navy at Port Arthur was not in the last des-
perate crisis more heroically directed. Under
the lead of the lamented Makaroff we can i'm
agine what il would have done. Instead OF
perishing in port at the hands of its own men, il
would have put furiOusly TO sea, with every gun
blazing, as did Cervera's devoted squadron at
Santiago In such a desperate essay some yes
sells might have made their way TO safety in
neutral port Barring that. they might have
destroyed at least one or two Japanese ships
But If that, too, was denied them. they would
NJ any rate, have gone down in deep water and
have been lost forever. Instead, they remained
in port and were set aire and scuttled by their
own crews.
What is the result? Current dispatches tell.
The japanese are raising and repairing them
and making them good new and adding
them to their own navy. Already they have
thus more than made good all the losses of the
war 10 the japanese navy, and the outlook is
that they will in the same manner make such
further additions TO their navy as will increase
its strength TO 30 per cent more than it was at
the beginning of the war. Thus the Russian
navy, while suffering practically total loss, not
only failed 10 inflict any net loss whatsoever
upon its adversary, but actually added largely
10 its force.
1t would not be easy TO find a parallel to that
in the history of war. None was afforded by
our war with Spain. because while we lost no
ships and gained some, there was simply an
immeasurable disparity in strength between the
two navies, which did not exist between the
fleets Of Russia and Japan, and the Spanish
ships Of chief value were lost to us at Santiago
through Admiral Cervera's possession and exer-
else Of precisely the qualities which were lack
ing at Port Arthur The incident is another
striking confirmation Of Farraguts principle
that attack is the best defence. Had the Port
Arthur ships gone boldly TO the attack they
would probably have perished but they would
not have graced Japanese triumph nor have
been added TO the efficient strength of the Jap
anese feet.
