To Stamp Out Anarchv,

Washington, Special.-The United
States will enter into an international
compact for the obliteration of an
archy. Many American statesmen
would endorse and actively support
any movement, international or indi-
vidual, among the powers, which
look to the suppression of the common
evil and Congress would doubtless
pass laws supplemental to legislation
which followed McKinley's death in
furtherance of such measures.

College.

John Spencer Baasett, Phi. d., pro-
fessor of history in Trinity College,
Durham, has resigned to accept a
similar chair at Smith College, North
ampton, Mass. About two and a half
years ago DIR. Bassett wrote an article
for a magazine in which he asserted
that, with the exception of Robert E.
Lee, Booker 7. Washington was the
greatest man the South had produced
In a hundred years. The article at
tracted considerable attention
throughout the country and was the
object of some adverse criticism at
the time. DIR. Bassett rendered his
resignation to the college authorities,
but they declined to accept it.

Defeated the Force Bill.

The most notable contest of his
congressional career, and one which
attracted to him wider attention than
anything else, was when he led the
Senate minority in 1S9O-91 and de-
feated the Federal election bill. To
his sagacious leadership and adroit
management his party friends attrib-
uted the defeat of the measure which
was so obnoxious to the South.
When the Democrats had control of
h Senate German was the recogniz-
ed leader of that body. 1t was at
that time that the tariff bill of 1894
was passed, and although the Mary
land Senator was not a memHer of the
finance committee, he had so much to
to do with shaping that measure that
his name is often give.1 to il and in
fact it is frequently called the VIII
sou-Gorman tariff.

levied On each animal slaughtered. IF
this is not done, the whole purpose of
the law can at any time be defeated
through an insufficient appropriations:
and wherever there was no particular
public interest In the subjest in would
be not only easy but natural thus to
make the appropriation insufficient.
If it were not for this consideration
[ should favor the government pay
ing for it.
The alarm expressed in certain
quarters concerning this feature
should be allayed by a realization of
the fact that In no case, under such
a law, will the cost of inspection ex-
coed s cents pc head.
l call special attention to the fact
that this report is preliminary, and
that the investigation is still unfnish-
ed. It is not yet possible to report on
the alleged abuses in the use of de-
leteTious chemical compounds in con-
nsction with canning and preserving
meat products, nor on the alleged
~doctoring in this fashion of tainted
meat and of products returned to the
packers as having grown unstable
Dr. unusable from age or from other
reasons. Grave allegations are made
in reference to abuses of this nature.
Cant Stop Abuses.
Let me repeat that under the pres
ent law there is practically no method
of stopping these abuses if they
should be discovered to exist. Leg
islation is needed in order to prevent
the possibility of all abuses in the
future. IF no legislation is passed,
then the excellent results accomplish
ed by the work of this special COM
mittee will endure only so long as
the memory of the committee work
is fresh, and a rec:udescence of the
abuses is absolutely certain.
1 urge the immediate enactment in
to law of provisions which will enable
the Department of Agriculture ade-
quately to inspect the meat and meat
food products entering into inter-
State commerce and to supervise the
methods of preparing the same, and
to prescribe the sanitary conditions
under which the work shall be per-
formed. I therefore commend to.
your favorable consideration and
urge the enactment of substantially
the provisions known as Senate
amendment No. 20 to the act making
appropriations for the Department of
Agriculture for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1907, as passed by the Sen
ate, for this amendment being com
monty known as the Beveridge
amendment. 5 !,

The Report.
The report of the special commit
tee is quite lengthy, dealing with the
various phases of the work of pack
ing houses. 1t Shows that they are
u~nutterably filthy and unsanitary.
The revelations brought to light show
that unwholesome and decayed meats
are packed: that deleterious chemicals
are employed to freshen and prevent
further decay, and that the govern
ment inspection is used as a blind to
perpetrate a fraud upon the custo-
mers. It is enough to shock the en-
tire American people, and doubtless
Congress will be quick to enact leg
islation to remedy the great evils
found.

?. GORhN DEAD FILTH At PACKING HOUSES
Maryand's Senior Senator Is
Taken Away
WAS A SPLENDID TYPE OF MAN
When He Suffered Last Attack He
Had Taken NOurishment an Hour
Before.

Washington, Special.-Senator Az
thur Pugh German, of Maryland,
died here Monday morning. At 8
O'Clock the Seator was stricken with
an attack of heart failure similar to
the series of attacks suffered a week
ago. A physician was immed.. ately
summoned, but the Senator expired
before relief could be administered.
He was conscious when stricken with
the last attack and had been taking
n~ourishment and hour before.
A week ago Saturday he suffered
an attack, but recovered under
prompt medical attention. After that
time conditions improved and Sun
day plans were made to remove him
to his country home at Laurel, Md.
There were present at his bedside
when the Senator expired, his wife,
daughter and nurse, and messages
were Immediately dispatched for the
other children.
Senator German had not been out
of the house since january 16. His
ailment was diagnosed as a stomach
trouble with heart complications.
The Senate, at 12:10 o'clock, adj
journed out of respect to the memory
of the last Senator German.
Senator German, in a written re-
quest addressed to Mrs. German, ask
ed that no State funeral should be
held. He said that he did not wish
his body to be brought to the cap
itol, as he wanted his colleagues al
ways to think of him as they knew
him In life as an active Senator.
There he was always cheerful and in
variably smiling, and it is regarded
as characteristic of his disposition
that he should desire to be so remem-
bered.
Senator German had long been a
notable figure in the national Con-
gress. He first took his seat in 1881
and served continuously for eighteen
years, and nearly all of tina; time he
was the leader of his party in the
Senate. Winning an early reputation
for sagacity and the keenest judg-
ment in congressional affairs, he at
tanned prominence, not only as a lead
er in the Senate, but in the country
&. large, and by many men was con-
sidered the most available man in his
party for the presidency. He was
chairman Of the executive committee
and managed the campaign that re-
suited in the election of Cleveland in
1884.

ARBRUsTER IS RELEASED.

Connie Mack has released Harry Armbruter to the Toledo club. Arm bruster's release was totally unlocked for. As Is usual with an announce ment by Manager Mack, there will undoubtedly be a sequel. Connie wouldn't let such a promising young ster go unles he were going to get something good in the player line in return.
 Armbruster looked mighty good to Philadelphia fans. He was tried out by Manager Mack last spring. Being content with his outfield of Hartsel, SeyboM. Lord and Hoffman, Connie let Buster" go to n New Jersey team.
 Then came the letting go of Hoff- man to New York and the bringing back of Armbruster.' The latter made good from the start, being very fast on his feet and good man with tho stick. either in bunting or in lacing out the ball. For time. too. Arm bruster did remarkable work as an emergency hitter.

 McGovern showed the president his injured hand. and explained how he was undergoing treatment for the wounded member.

 Terry emerged from the presi- dents room with his Celtic face wreathed in a great smile. By his side was his '.private secretary. Both held their heads high.
 "why. I'll lick that fellow Corbett sure's I'm ace high this trip" he con- fided to his secretary" Then polk ing him in the ribs and throwing out his chest, Terry strutted out of the White House and down the walk with the remark:

THE DIAM 0 N D NORWICH SOLD
 AT AUCTION
On the Block For an Old Debt Other Ba'e Ball News of
 Interest.

To win the championship of the Connecticut league of baseball clubs and then be placed upon the auction block and sold to the lowest bidder is the fate of the Norwich club. Car rying out decree of the superior court obtained by Edward T. Burke for the three mortgages of the club, Deputy Sheriff Draper sold the fran chise at auction at the public sign post. The only bid was offered by Dennis J. Morrissey and the club was knocked down to him for S25. It is supposed that the bidder acted for the mortgages, thus giving them clear title to the franchise through fore closure of the mortgage of $1,50O. which was given them about the first of last August, when the money was needed for salaries to keep the club going to the end of the season. The men who put up the money are H. E. Davenport, F. A. Mitchell and Dr George Thompson. These men have also met bills of S40O for other OK penses. It is said that conditions are different in Norwich now than when baseball was started there seven years ago. Then the Consolidated road coll tributed the grounds. $500 and gave free transportation to the home team and visiting players. Now the com pany gives nothing and the players have to pay their fare or walk. This means difference of $7OO to the club treasury The franchise can be bought but the outlook for financial profit is not as good as for athletic honOrs.
