Attempt Of United States Packing

Expensive Experiment
BY Associated Press.

b1 AbhOCldleu Ire69s
BERLIN, June 2.-The text of the pc
tition Of the German butchers asso-
citation sent to Chancellor Won Buelow
and Minister of Agriculture Won Podd-
bielsh against any treaty arrange
ment with the United States permitting
increased imports Of meats, AYERS that
the directors of the association had
learned that the great slaughterlng
companies in the United States, In
order to expand their sales abroad,
intended to seek relaxation of the
German sanitary customs regulations
through the prospective commercial
treaty negotiations between Germany
and the United States.
The butchers Of Germany. therefore,
begged the chancellor in the interest
of public health and the material in
terests both of the butchers and the
farmers not to consider such reaxa-
ton. The argument supporting the
request includes a comparison be-
tween the numbers Of animals reject
ed based on the official statistics of
both countries, showing that the Prus-
sian and other Ceramn inspectors dis
allow two to four times as many ami
mails as the Americans and finds a
reason for this not in the superior
health of the American food animals,
but in the character Of the inspector
ship.
Examination Is Cursory
Quotations are given from Professor
II. Ostertag's recent book on veteri-
nary medicine in the United States
Writing of meat inspection in the
large slaughtering houses, he says:
"The examination is as cursory as
is permissible considering the vast
scale of slaughtering The veterinarian
inspecting freshly killed cattle turns
over the entrails with stick and ex-
amines the body.
1t is impracticable to touch the meat
or Systematically examine the slicings.
There is no examination for animal
measles. The tongues of animals,
where the indications are usually
found, are not cut out, nor is it Gus
tomary to examine the clisings and
masticatory muscles and the heart:
Emphatic glands and kidneys are not
removed from the coverings of fat.
Gives Quotation From "The Jungle"
ut is perfectly clear that only such
symptoms of disease can be perceived
as are plainly obvious"
The petition reproduces copious ex-
tracts from Upton Sinclair's "The
JuhSle, ana concludeS with deScrip-
ton of the wealth and power Of the
so-called ''meat ring" by which it is
asserted that Daniel e. Salmon, the
former head of the bureau of animal
industry, was forced to retire and the
statement is made that even the rail-
ways must bow to the ring.
The government is then begged not
to open the German markets to such
institutions, but it is suggested that
live cattle might be admitted, as the
United States government has met
with great success in combating Texas
fever.

NEW WORLDS
RUNNING RECORD

New York, Oct I'D. c. Johnson's
Roseben, carrying 126 pounds, Great
ed a new worlds record for seven fur
longs when he won the fifth race at
Belmont park yesterday. He stepped
the distance in the fastest time ever
made on an American race course,
1.22. When he finished and the phe-
nomenal time was hung out by the
official timer, the big crowd arose and
gave the great Splinter a rousing
cheer which continued for several min
utes in spite of the fact that he was
quoted at 1 to 80 in the betting anC
they were unable to bet on him. John
son and Frank Farrell are reported
to have won over $4,000 on his vic
tory, as they bet that the son OF
Benstrome-Roseleaf would run faster
than 1925 Fourteen horses were
carded to go in this event, but they
were all scratched except Beauclaire
it was decided to send him against
time. Roseben broke very quickly
at the barrier and ran the first fur
long in IL seconds. He passed the
quarter pole in % As, going easily.
Shaw kept the horse close to the rail
all the way and Roseben ran the
three-eighths in 35 Is. Around the
long upper turn the favorite continued
in faultless style, and flashed by the
half-mile pole in :46 As When he
turned into the stretch the high wind
behind him was strong and he came
to the three-quarter mark in ITO 80.
Shaw took no chances, but rode Rose
ben out, coming under the wire a
winner in 1:22 The best previous
time was 124 As, held by Halifax
around turns, and the straightway rec
ord held by Della B, 1:23h, made in
1890 at Monmouth.

street in Berlin who were returning
from target practice. He produced
forged cabinet order authorizing him
to take command. The men recog-
nized his authority and he ordered

seized $1,000 in cash. The robber de-
tailed several of his men to conduct
the prisoners to headquarters in Ber-

sible captain was a fraud, and were
anediately discharged. There is no

FISH AND HILL
IN FIGHT FOR
BIC RAIL ROAb

Chicago, Oct. 17.-President Stuy-
vesant Fish of the illinois Central,
was in his private Office at the Park
Row depot until long after midnight.
Closeted with him were j. B. Dill Of
New York, his attorney, and officials
connected with the Illinois Central
auditing department. Fish was lay
ing his plans for the battle royal
which will be fought out this morn
ing at the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Illinois Central
railroad. E. H Hartman and
party of financial friends will arrive
this morning. They are coming to
fight against Fish for control Of the
Illinois Central. For a year it has
been known that Hartman and his
allies had been seeking control of
this property. There are 950,O4O
shares of stock, representing cap
italization of $95,000,400 entitled to
vote The side controlling 475,O21
shares will win. 1t has been as
sumed that Hartman controls one
fifth of the total shares, but informa-
ton brought to Chicago yesterday
was that he had had the banking
firm of Kuhn Loeb & Co., working
for and with him for some time, and
every share of stock and every proxy
that could be bought or borrowed has
been secured.
Fish is confident that the Hartman
plan will fail Fish was served last
night with a notice that a suit had
been brought against the Illinois
Central by the Illinois State Audit
company. The suit is brought by
the Audit company in behalf of half
a dozen down-state merchants, who
allege that the Illinoi Central over
charged them on freight bills and
thus Disseminated against them.

OIL TRUST
FACES FINES
Of MILLIONS

Jackson, Tenn, Oct. 1.-THE grand
jury of the special term of the Unit
ed States district court yesterday aft
ernoon returned a voluminous indict-
ment against the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana. The charge is the
transportation of separate car loads
of oil at rates discriminating In IA
yor of the Standard Oil company CT
Indiana. Alleged illegal shipments
for the past three years are covered.
The indictment contains 1924 counts,
each count constituting a separate OF
tense. The maximum penalty for
each is a $4,000 fine and a minimum
of $1,000. The indictment is the out
come of the investigation made by
Commissioner Garfield of the bureau
of corporations.
Findlay, o., Oct. 17.-That the case
of the Standard Oil company, Ohio, on
trial for conspiracy against trade Will
be in the hands Of the jury today is
confidently predicted by attorneys on
both sides. The evidence is all i'll
and arguments progressed for four
hours yesterday. The main point made
by the defense was that while the eVi'
dence showed all the so-called subsid-
larry companies to be owned by the
Standard Oil compony of New Jersey,
not one syllable of evidence had been
adduced to show that the defendant
company was so owned.

point of revolvers compelled the engi-
neer and firemen to uncouple the ex-
press and baggage cars and pull the
cars several miles up the road. When
the train stopped the bandits went to
the express car and, covering the mes
senger with their weapons, attempted
to blow open the safe. They only

BOILER INSPECTION.

"Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. ia boiler
on the government boat SIackwater
exploded this afternoon, completely
wrecking the craft and killing three
men. Two men are missing, and
six others were badly injured. The
pump boat Work had ceased just
half hour previously to the explo-
sion, and the men were lounging about
the deck. Huge fragments of tim
Der, iron and debris were hurled in
credible distances and the human vic
TINS were blown into the river.
And yet of course this boiler had
been inspected most carefully-as
carefully possibly as are those loco
motive boilers which are blown to
ruin now and then. Two such oc
currences have befallen right here
in Madison in but little more than
decadei
The lesson in all this?
Why, there is but one, and that is
that inspections do not prevent explo-
sions. That is the obvious conclu-
sion. Explosions simply are in
evitable-they are beyond human
power to forestall. And yet at
every session of the Wisconsin legis-
lature an attempt is made to require
the official inspection of all boilers,
the licensing of all engineers. The
pretense is that such requirement
will obviate boilers bursting The
real object is to extort inspecting
| fees from boiler owners for the ben
/ eft of political inquisitors and, fur
Their, to place all boilers under union
domination.
! The frequent recurrence of the de-
| struction of boilers operated by rail-
roads and by the federal government
| (do you recall the great disaster to
the gunboat Bennington in Califor-
MIA harbor a year or so ago0 is a
| circumstance which pretty conclu-
sively illustrates the folly of the
whole inspection business. When
railways and the government are not
able to prevent such casualties what
possible hope is there that state in
spection would prove of any value?
