BIRMINGHAM GROWS
 AS COTTON MARKET
ADVANTAGES WHICH THIS CITY PRESENTS TO COTTON TRADE
 BEING APPREcIATEp-THE BEST WAREHOUSE IN UNITED STATES

That Birminghams yearly cotton re- ceipts are increasing Is shown by the warehouse books this year. and the crop is not larger than the average, as com pared with the records of a few years back. Then the receipts from September to September ran about sO,OOO bales. Now the average Is close on to 100000. This years receipts will be fully that large.
 One reason assigned for this increase is the improved warehouse facilities offered here And another reason is the more at tractlve market that Birmingham offers the farmer for buying his supplies than the smaller towns to which most of this cotton used to go. It Is from a distance that practically all cotton comes. the wagon receipts this year being but about 90OO bales, as against approximately nUo by rail As an evidence of Birmingham increasing importance as cotton mar ket several of the largest concerns in the business that have never bought cotton in this immediate territory will, It is re- ported, establish agencies here next year. Although Birmingham necessarily, because of It's many other interests, Is not promi- nently known as a cotton town, still It can boast of the only warehouse in the United States with reinforced concrete frame, floor and roof, and fire tile end and division walls, constructed along the lines suggested by the Southern Cotton asso- citation.

RAIN GREETs EMPEROR.
German Ruler Is Spending Few Days
 In Vienna.

Vienna, June 6.-Cold, rainy weather marred the first day of the visit of Emperor William of Germany to Elm peror Francis Joseph. The projected drive around the imperial Theirgarten at Lainz was abandoned owing to the impossible condition of the road. Ex- traordinary precautions had been taken to insure the safety of the German Elm peror, the public being rigidly exclnd- ed from the Northern station, while police lined the road between Pensing and Schoenbrunn. The parks, the gar dens and all the approaches to the palace were guarded with a strong force of infantry and cavalry, in addi- ton to many police and detectives.
 The two Emperors dined to night with the Archduchess Maria Valerie at Lainz.

Suitable Places to Wash.

suitable places were furnished workmen to wash. he said and asserted that the men all carried punches of cheese cloth which were used as towels. The men pre- ferred this, said MT. Wilson.
 Repeating his invitation to members or the committee to visit the packing houses, Mir Wilson said that the houses are al- ways open and that millions of people passed through every year
 MT Wilson questioned charge made in the Neil- -Reynolds report that car cass of hog had slipped from carrier into a privy and had been picked up ana nlaced with clean carcasses. He called ,,non Dr. NeiIl to state that 1t did not hsnnen in one of the big packing houses.
 .It did happen in one of the big con- cerns" Neill replied emphaueally. AL though requested by members of the com ,o,ttee to state which one, Neill refused.
 "But some of the very things that MT. Wilson has just now denied" he said. ..happened at Nelson Morris & Co.'S plant"
 speaking of the charge that men climbed on the meat in their work. MT. Wilson explained in detail the methods of boning 'chucks" Chucks, he said, was the upper part of the front leg. bone had to be removed and this work was done by piece work. A man might reach or climb on to the meat to get q small chuck, but this was against the regula- tions, and members would be discharged if caught doing it.

Clean When Work Begins.

In regard to the interior of the work rooms MT Wilson said that any person would be pleased with their cleanly ap- pearance before the days killing and dressing is begun, and that persons not used to packing houses might be disgusted with the condition of the same rooms sev- eral hours later. He contended, however, that there were no unwholesome condi- tions there Every day. he said all rooms, tables. trucks and utensils of all kinds are washed as clean water and scrub brush can make them. Speaking of the charge that there are some rooms where there are no connections with outside air. MT Wilson said that Dr. Neill and MT. Reynolds doubtless had reference to the chill rooms, where for obvious reasons wind was excluded and never employed.
 MT. Wilson did not attempt to deny that odors arose from the entrals and oHal of the carcasses, but he said they were removed as promptly as possible. He said he did not think that even Dr. Neill would suggest pertaining this material He secuted the charge that there was any odor from decayed wood or decayed meat. as there was none of either In the operating rooms. The charge that there were toilet rooms off the workroom was admitted and the practice defended as not being more unsanitary than a toilet off a bedroom In first-class hotel as the toilets were kept in good condition.

Don't Know About Diseased Meat.

When the hearing was resumed Dr. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry, was asked a number of questions concerning ante mortem examinations of cattle bought by packing houses. He ex- plained that these examinations were all conducted in the stock yards. He was asked if he believed any diseased meat was put on the market in any form, but he would not express an opinion. He explained in detail the disposition of dis eased cattle through the stock exchange, but said no such precautions were taken concerning other animals
 MT. Wilson again took up the Nelll Key holds report commenting on many of the criticisms Concerning the condition of the animals pens, he showed that the floors were properly drained to permit of flushing as often as needed, and he as- serted that was done. The Neill-Reynolds report spoke of ten dead hogs being found in one place, and fifteen or twenty in another Mir Wilson said some mornings from 50,000 to 60.000 hogs are received, and that frequently dead ones are found in the cars. He did not think there was anything "revolting" about that

Shocking Effect on Nerves.

'There is no question but that the many necessary operations attending the slaugh- tering of animals, the sight of blood and other offal would have a very shocking eff feet on the nerves and senses of two men with the fine sensbllities that such men as Merrs Neill and Reynolds must have who have devoted their lives to one line of scientific or sociological work, but men such as this committee Is made up of with broad and more general expe- riences will immediately appreciate how the conditions reported have been exag- gerated and that the greatest effort is made at all times to handle the product ir a clean and sanitary manner. We ap- precite that Messrs. Neill and Reynolds experience especially equip them to recom- mend Improvements in social conditions, and many of the suggestions made by them were found to be practical, and have already been adopted but We also feel that their two and one-half weeks ex- perience in the packing house does not equip them sufficiently to justify your honorable body in undertaking to inteli- gently leglslate on their observations alone.'
