SMALL BABY ADVERTISED
FOR SALE BY UTAH WOMAN
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollars
Asked for Seven Months Old
Infant.

SALT LAKE CITY, July 10.-A sign
bearing the words Baby for sale" and
displayed for several days in front of
a cottage in Waterloo, a suburb, caused
the arrest today of Mrs. Mueller by an
officer of the Juvenile Court. An inves-
tigation developed the fact that sew
eral persons had offered to buy the
child, one woman Offering $50, but Mrs.
Mueller would not sell for less than
1925.
Mrs. Mueller said that the seven.
months old baby which she had tried
70 sell was the child of her sister, who
died recently in Wyoming. The wo-
man said she had four children of her
own and was unable to care for them
all.
When the officers returned to the cot
tage the furniture had been removed
and they were unable TO locate Mrs
Mueller or the four children of whom
the woman had told. The woman told
conflicting stories about herself and
family and the officers of the court de-
cided to hold the infant pending fur
ther investigation of the case.

TURKS HOSTILITY
IS MADE PLAIN.
Sultan Is Determined
Not to Receive Leish-
man as ambassador
Chebik Bey Instructed
to Renew His Protest
Against the Change

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 10.-Fresh
instructions have been sent to the
Turkish Minister at Washington,
Chekib Bey, to renew his efforts to dis
suade the authorities at Washington
from carrying out the proposed eleva-
of an embassy.
It appears that when the Turkish
Government was first notified that the
United States desired to effect the
change Chekib Bey was ordered to op-
pose the project, but replied that he
was unable to shake the determination
of the State Department. He has now
been instructed to inform that depart
ment that the proposed action requires
previous agreement between the two
countries, which has not been erected
in the present case.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The State
Department has not yet been advised
of the existence of any opposition on
the part of the Turkish Government to
the elevation of the American legation
at Constantinople into an embassy.
OF course, If the Sultan declines to re-
ceive Leishman in the capacity of En-
bassador under the credentials he now
holds he is acting perfectly within his
rights But 1t is certain that such a
course will not tend to the strength
ening of the relations between America
and Turkey because, in the view of the
officials here, it will amount to a dis
tinct discrimination against the United
States and in favor of the great Euro
pean powers now represented by en-
basadors at the Porte. These embas-
sadors have, by right of their office,
personal access to the Sultan at any
moment The American Minister and
the other Ministers, in fact, must do
business through the Porte entirely
and on the rare occasions when they
gain access to the person of the Sultan
they are obliged to wait many weeks
for the opportunity. The result is OBJ
struction and embarrassment in the
transaction of business, so that the
State Department is not likely to re-
ceive graciously any protest against
the reception of Mr.. Leishman's embas-
sadorial credentials.

NEW YORK. July 10.-Whether a
diet of bread and milk taken almost ex-
clusively for forty years is responsible
for the remarkable preservation shown
in the body of Mrs. Mary Fay, who died
in the city almshouse at the age of los
years few days ago, is causing inter-
est among physicians. Despite the ex-
treme age of Mrs. Fay her pody Is in

said DR.. O'Hanlon yesterday, but she
was the best preserved person ever

FILTH IN BRITISH FACTORIES.
Conditions as Revolving as Any Alleged
of Chicago Houses.

LONDON, July 10.-The Britishers
who have been so virtuously indignant
recently over the Chicago meat pack
ing revelations were today confronted
with the annual report of the inspector
of factories and workshops, which
shows that the conditions here are
quite as revolving as anything alleged
of the Western packing centers Dirty
factories and disgusting methods seem
to be the rule instead of the exception.
Jam factories, bakeries and sausage
factories are all censured as being
equally filthy, and the description of
one fits most of the others. Here is the
report of typical jam factory
THE boilingr room lay between the
yard and the stable, and the horses
reached the latter through the boiling
room. The sanitary accommodations
were hardly separated from the rooms
where the fresh fruit and uncovered
jam were kept, and the floors were
dirty and undrained."
Another factory inspector found jam
pots being washed in 'liquidlike dark
soup, which smelled abominably." The
manager informed the inspector that
the water was changed about once a
week" When fished out of these evil
smelling ranks the pots were allowed
to stand until dry, when they were con-
sidered to be ready to receive fresh
installments of preserves. Inspectors
of bakeries found that it was q fre-
quent custom to battle the children in
them after the close of work on Satur-
days., and the family's weekly collec-
tion of dirty clothing was sorted in the
bakeries for dispatch to the laundry.
The sausage factories, says the re-
port, are mostly owned by Germans,
and are small, dilapidated and poorly
lighted, and are infested by rats"

CHICAGO, July 10.-An investigation
into the meat packing industry through
out the country more far-reaching than
purpose of the visit to Chicago of James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture. This
developed today after an all-day meet
ing of the Secretary and his Washing
ton officials with the inspectors In
charge of nearly all of the cities where
there are packing plants.
Those in charge of the inspection of
packing plants in the Southwest who
were not in Chicago today Will meet
the Secretary in another city after his
business here is concluded
The cities represented in this new in
vestigation stretch from Boston to San
Francisco. Several weeks ago secret
instructions were issued TO the inspect
ors of packing plants throughout the
country to report in full as to the con-
ditions in the various plants. AS soon
ms these reports reach Washington the
Government will know all it wants
about the industry.
The Secretary will neither admit nor
deny the truth of these facts. declarin g
that his business with the inspectors is
of secret and confidential nature.
A new warning for the packers in the
following words was given by the Sec
retary:
so long as the packers make strenu-
Gus progress toward bringing their
plants up to the Government standard
as regards sanitation there will be no
quarrel, and they will be given plenty
of time to make the changes, but If my
inspectors find after while that they
ment, why, they will hear from us,
that's all"

SAILOR Who LOST LOVED
ones In FIRE A MANIAC
Mind Gives Way Under Worry
Over Death of Mother, Sister
and Two Brothers.
SPECIAL DISPATCH To THE CALL


SEATTLE, July 10.-Worry because
OF the loss of his mother, two brothers
and sister in the fire at San Fran
cisco has made John Miller a violent
maniac and he has been confined to the
asylum at Steilacoom. So violent did
Miller become that II took six strong
men to hold him while a straitjacket
was fastened upon him. 1t was thought
unsafe to hold the examination in the
courtroom. so the medical commission
took evidence in the jailer's office.
Miller, who is a sailor, arrived at San
Francisco a week after that city had
been destroyed. He made a search for
his mothers house, where she lived
with his younger brothers and sister.
II was in the district of poor tenement
houses that first felt the havoc
wrought by the disaster. When he
reached the house he found it in ruins
and learned after investigation that
his loved ones had perished. He came
to Seattle, where his queer actions soon
attracted attention. A few days ago he
refused to eat or sleep, and this morn
ing became a violent maniac.

LORD ROBERTS MAKES PLEA
FOR LARGE RESERVE FORCE
Declares British Empire Cannot De-
pend Entirely ON It's Navy
md Its Allies.

LONDON, July 10.-General Lord
Roberts, who has been campaigning in
the country in the cause Of army re-
form, brought up the question in the
House of Lords, devoting himself par
ticularly to the contention that the
navy was not sufficient protection for
the empire. He pointed out that Great
Britain could not depend in the future
upon allies, whose assistance in the
past was in a large measure responsi-
bic for the success of Great Britain's S
wars.
To render the country safe in all
emergencies Lord Roberts said it was
necessary, besides regulars, to have an
efficient reserve force which could mo-
bilize half million men at one time.
and an organization TO turn out trained
men to supply the wastage of war.
The Marquis of Ripon, Lord of the
Privy Seal, advised the lords to await
War Minister Haldane's statement on
July IL. Lord Miner reaffirmed his be-
lief that universal military service was
the only remedy.

FRESH MILK AND FRUITS
ADDED TO NAVY RATION
Change Makes Food Superior to That
of Any Military Establishment In
the World.

= WASHINGTON, July 10.-In the last
naval appropriation act provision was
made for change of the naval ration
and the bureau of supplies and ac-
counts has prepared a ration in ac-
cordance with the legislation. 1t is
now asserted that the United States
navy has a better ration than any
army or navy in the world.
The advantages OF the present ra-
tion are that it is more flexible and
makes it unnecessary to issue commu
tations to sailors in place of the reg
ular ration. Added to the former ra-
tion are preserved and fresh fruits,
fresh milk, favoring extracts, fresh
fish and sauce. The amount of timed
vegetables has been increased. while a
decrease has been made in macaroni,
pickles, rice and syrup.
