Washington. ID. C., June THE
house committee on agriculture toda,
decided y. comply with the request OF
the Chicago packers to be heard on
the Neill-Roynolds report regarding
conditions In the Chicago packing
houses Thomas Wilson. manager
Of the Nelson Morris company
made general denial OF the
existence of conditions In the packing
houses as set forth In the Neill-Rey-
noids report. lie began by inviting
the committee to come to Chicago and
spend a week In personal investigation
OF conditions Some OF the sugges-
tons made In the report, he said. had
already been compiled with by the
packers. such as additional sanitary
facilities.
As to the charge that canned meats
were boiled in water to "freshen them
up" Mr. Wilson said there was abso
lately nothing In this. Canned meat
he said. was as good five years after g.,
had been put up as It was FIVE minutes
afterward. providing no air had got to
II. II air had reached the meat. Il
would be spoiled beyond being fresh
enod up.
What the cans were put In hot water
for was to soak on the old label
which. he said was an injury to the
appearance OF the goods on sale
lie denied absolutely that there we're
any diseased cattle or hogs butchered
for food In every carload of cattle or
hogs. he said some were likely to be
dead and some diseased The dead
or diseased hogs and cattle we're sen,
to the Standard Rendering company
which was very different institution
from the Standard Slaughtering com
pany. although the two we're likely to
be confused in the mind. The rem
dering company turned the dead and
diseased meat into grease which was
oo-product In the manufacture of
soap.
Mr.. Wilson, when asked by Repre-
sentative Scott. of Kansas. q member
of the committee. "How about the rope
and other foreign matter found with
tho scraps on the noor?" Mr. Wilson
explained that what was probably seen
in this instance was the string on the
knuckle end of what had been dried
beef. This string was used with whicl.
to hang the beef In the smole-house
and when the beet had been sliced of
this knuckle end was left. There was
bone in 1t. and he said Il was i'm
possible to use It. The bone would
smash the machine II an attempt was
made TO use Il.
Representative Hsskins asked about
the dirty floors. "These foors." re-
piled Mr.. Wilson. ARE scrubbed every
night as cloan as wood can be
scrubbed"

River Pirates Among Them the
Cause Of Trouble.
County Authorities viii Send Two

THEFTs ON THE RIVER FRONT

Thievery on the river front has
urged immediate action on the part
of city and county officials, and as
result over two hundred shanty-boat
residents will have to pay a license
tax of IS and in addition prove a
good moral character, or leave the
city. In case neither of the two pro-
visions is carried out the defendant
will be subjected to fine of s25 and
will have to stand for 80 day coun-
ty jail term.
This is the status of affairs sum-
med briefly. and as a result the coun-
ty has collected several household Ii
-censes. and dozens of this class of
citizens have pulled out"
Mills, steamboats,, docking compa-
MES and in fact every corporation or
river interest owning marine prop
erty has suffered of late from a gang
of thieves, who steal rope, chains.
and everything not too heavy to cart
away, or difficult to dispose of or put
to use County Judge II. +. Lightfoot
and Magistrate Charles w. Emery
were apes led to and yesterday war
rants were issued against five house
boat residents. but they promptly
paid their license. They were, how.
ever. deputized by Constable A. c.
Shelton and are at work securing
names of other house-boat residents.
To date over 200 names have been
secured.
1--WE have secured the names OF
over 200 OF these housc-bost resi-
dents" Magistrate Emery stated this
morning, land will issue warrants
against them Tho object is to make
them prove a good moral character
or get out of this section of the
country.
"The jurisdiction we hold runs
from the mouth of Clark's river to
Massac creek and we intend to clean
them all up. Those who can not, be-
yond doubt, prove a good. moral
character, will not be given IL
cense even If they are willing to pay
double the required amount. The OBJ
ject is to rid the county of this type
OF people and / undo rstand that doz-
ems have cut loose from moorings
and left"
The police think that most Of the
thievery, which has been going on
along the river can be traced direct
ly to a gang of river thieves who live
on households. This is the only way
to break 1t up, and the plan seems
to be working admirably.
The last time any such action was
taken was over two years ago when
similar circumstances existed.
There are many persons living on
households who claim they can not
get away until a rise. They permit
their boats to be left high and dry
on the bank. but had they wanted
to remain in the river could have
done so. These are not excused from
the license. All who live on house
boats, IN cabins built on hulls, whe-
Their the boat be,in or on. of the riv-
err, will have to pay the license. or
move away from the county.
Those living in "shacks" In Dog
town and about the bevee and river
banks are excluded. They are not llv-
ing in Households"
