SAN DIEGO, May 25.-Lying under
heaps of debris in the cellar of what
was the ranch house of Pat Sweeney,
prosperous and we'll liked rancher
of Vista, are the charred bodies Of the
owner and two companions of last
night, Ned Robertson, an employe of
Sweeney, and Jim Carter, one of the
best known young ranchmen of that
section. Liquor and an overturned
lamp are responsible for their death.
The house was totally consumed by
the flames. About midnight the three
men, with Henry Thomas and a few
Others were enjoying a joyful even
ing together, as had been their Gus
tom. The four sat together long after
the others had gone and, according to
the story of Thomas, the only survivor
of the tragedy, all had been drinking
freely.
While the carousal was at it's height
Thomas says the lamp was overturned.
Almost Immediately the room was in
flames and the men were in no con-
dition to eXtinguish them had it been
possible. Whether the men stayed
too long to fight the fire or were too
drunk to find their way out is un-
known, but Thomas says he managed
to reach, the open air and called to the
others.
When neighbors arrived at the scene
the flames were licking the last of the
ruins This morning the remains of
the three men were to be seen, black
ened and partially consumed, lying
in the cellar, where they had fallen
when the floor burned away beneath
them.
All of the victims were unmarried.
Sweeney was about 45 and had been
living on the ranch for years. He had
no relatives in this part of the coun-
try except a cousin at Vista.
Robertson and Carter were about
80 years of age. Robertson had a place
of his own adjoining that of Sweeney
and was an Englishman. Carter's
home was also near by. He leaves a
mother, a sister and a brother, with
whom he was living. He was half
brother of Thomas.

PACKERS WANT
A SQUARE DEAL
Meat Representatives Willing to Do
What Government Experts Advise,
but Ask That All Food Prod
ucts Share Inspection
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The condi-
tion of some of the packing houses at
Chicago was severely criticised by
President Roosevelt yesterday during
an interview he had with William y.
Skinner and w. L. Carlisle, representing
the live stock interests of the country,
and Representative Madden of Chi
cago, Cox of New York and Brooks of
Colorado.
Mr.. Skinner is the representative Of
the Union Stock Yards company at Chi
cage and Mr.. Carlisle is dean of the
National Agricultural college of Colo
rado. These men, in accordance with
the request of live stock interests all
over the country, conferred with the
packers on Monday, and then came to
Washington to see the president.
Wants Reforms
The president announced that he pro-
posed to see conditions, of which COM
plants have been made, in the pack
ing houses changed as promptly as pos
sible; that the buildings should be re-
modelled in order to obtain better VEN
tilation and more light; that ample
facilities should be provided for en-
ployes,I far enough removed from the
rooms in which the meat was prepared
for food to prevent contamination, and
that there should be laVatorieS to IN
sure personal cleanliness.
Speaking for the live stock interests
and for the packers, Mr.. Skinner as
sured the president that the packers
had authorized him to state that If the
president would appoint commission
of high grade scientific sanitation ex-
perts, including one practical man
versed in inspection and animal hus--
bandry, they would be glad to adopt any
suggestions the commission might make
for Improvements or changes, not only
in the method of slaughtering, but In
the sanitary conditions of packing
houses.
Asks National Inquiry
Mr.. Skinner went step farther than
the packing houses proposition. He
urged the president to appoint a ma
tional sanitary commission which
should be authorized to deal with the
whole subject of food products. He rep
resented that 1t was unfair to single out
one industry to the exclusion of all
others and make it a subject of criti-
cism so as to injlire it throughout the
world.
The presidents concern, however, is
to secure fresh, clean, uncontaminated
meat for the American people and to
remove the suspicion which exists
abroad regarding our meat products,
and which necessarily affects the ex-
tent of the sales. He assured his call
ers he was most anxious the industry
should not be disastrously affected. At
the same time he said he intended to
see that proper sanitary conditions ex-
listed and he wanted it to be distinctly
understood once the conditions We're
established he would not permit any
let-up in their enforcement.
