New York city in the investigation of
It's leading slaughter houses" The re-
Port says that in many of the rooms
where water is used freely the floors
are soaked and Shiny, and the dark
and dingy rooms are naturally not
kept suitably clean. An absence of
cleanliness was found everywhere in
the handling of meat being prepared
fer the various meat food products
The parts that are sent from the cool
ing room to these departments where
various forms of meat products are
prepared, are handled with no regard
whatever to cleanliness. The workers
climb over heaps of meat, select the
pieces they wish, and frequently throw
them down upon the dirty floor be-
side their bench.

saw meat shoveled from filthy wooden
floors, piled on tables rarely washed

In the conduct Of their business. The court
fixed February Sas the date for the hearing
Attorney Jackson H. Ralston of the firm
of Ralston & Siddons, representing Column
bfa Typographical Union, appeared on be-
half of the defendants and stated to the
court that he had advised his clients 10 re-
frain from every possible appearance of vio-
lence. He expressed the opinion that the
alleged violence complained of in the bill of
complaint was based upon nothing more
than row between a number of non-union
men and strikers In saloon For this, he
said. the defendants were in nowise respon-
sibls.
In fixing the date the court observed that
if the alleged unlawful acts complained of
should be continued the court would, upon
proper showing. be disposed to grant tenn
porary injunction upon ex parte application

fendant parties should be upon their good

THE MOROCCAN CONFERENCE.
Draft of Taxation Project Adopted
without Modification.

ALGECIRAS, Spain, February 1.-The
Moroccan conference at it's session today
adopted without modification the craft OF
the taxation project.
,he Moorish delegates raised number
of objections and will refer the proposals
to the sultan, at FeZ.
The question of reforming the customs
duties was not considered.
The American delegates took an active
part In the discussion before the conference
today by raising a point against any in
direct infringement of the sultan's SOW
ereignty. This was the first appearance OF
the Americans IN the formal debates, and
the point raised by them broughtN on the
most earnest and interesting discussion the
conference has thus far had.
The committee on taxation reported a
lengthy plan, one feature of which gave the
foreign consuls the right to retain a certain
percentage of the taxes foreigners to
cover the expenses of collection.
The conference thereupon adopted the
committees report, giving a general plan
for taxes largely under the control of the
diplomatic and consular body at Tangier,
and adjourned until Saturday.

REPRESENTATIVE HALE.
Says Story of His Retirement Was
Mistake.

Representative Hale of Tennessee denies
the published statement that he is to retire
saying that the mistake grew out of some
statements he made concerning the pur-
chase of some silver mine at Parel Mexico.
He added:
that l thought a congressman who let civil
service and departmental rulings run his
business while here would be better off in
Central Mexico living in mud house sur
rounded by native poems. That he could at
least kick and squeal there and he seen
and heard.
Il think however l am making progress
for a new member. l have learned that
legs are needed as much brains; that
long service counts more than ability, and
that impudence measures more than intel
in this except in long service Then, again,
members who have grown gray in the sery-
ice faring no better under these conditions
than the rest of us. But when it comes to
living in Mexico l draw the line.
II expect to live in fair Knoxville, in the
beautiful valley of east Tennessee sur
rounded by blue mountains famed by
southern breezes and washed by pure crys-
tai waters Why, the truth is that in beau
tiful east Tennessee, up among the clouds
against heaven life is luxury ana loyalty
a natural heritage. In this climate good
men never die and democrats do not come
to modest or make US afraid No, I am
not going to resign. I am here to fight 1t

MRS. YERKEs' MARRIAGE.
Some Contradiction, but No Denial
From Woman in the Case.

CHICAGO, February 1.-Charles e.
Yerles of this city, son of the late Charles
r. Yerkes, declared today that Mrs. c. T..
Yerkes (Mrs. Mizner) Is the victim of a
plot, and that the publicity which has been
given her affairs within the last two days
is the result of trickery. Early today, in
response to a telegram sent to Mrs. Yerkes
(Mizner) last night, Mr.. Yerkes received
the following
NEW YORK, February 1.-Telegram re-
ceived. Story is simply ridiculous.
MRS. c. r. YERKES."
After reading the message, Mr.. Yerkes
said:
THAT Is in response to a message sent
by me. We are sure now that this great
publicity is being played as game in New
York by some people who are conspiring to
a certain end
What is their motive, IL their story is
not true?' he was asked.
II cannot discuss motives,' said Mr..
Yerkes
NEW YORK, February 1.-No statement
from Mrs. Yerkes was obtainable here to-
day as TO whether she had been married to
Wilson Miner. The Rev. Andrew Gillies
of Sit. Andrews Methodist Episcopal
Church, however, declares that he per-
formed the ceremony, and Wilson Mizner
was quoted today as confirming the news of
the marriage.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
DOUBTFUL IF RESOLUTION OF
INQUIRY WILL BE OFFERED.

1t is considered doubtful whether a reso-
luton of inquiry as to the Southern Pacsiic
Railroad Companys status with its auxii-
iary lines will be introduced in the House.
The situation is this:
Several days ago a man called on Minor
ity Leader Williams and urged him to call
for an inquiry into the Southern Pacific
relations with connecting roads This man
thought that case of merger could be de-
veloped.
Mr.. Williams referred the caller to the
democratic members of the committee on
Pacific railways, with the suggestion that
they take the subject up and see if there
was ground for action. Mr.. Finley OF South
Carolina is now going over the alleged evil
dence. Other members of the committee
who have looked into it are inclined to
think the evidence Is too vague and general
to warrant a resolution of inquiry. How
ever, decision has been reached, and
there will be further careful investigation.
Effect on Stock Market.
These little slaps at the railroads keep
the stock market in a trembe. The Penn
sylvania resolution the other day shook
the market down all along the line. Today
some of the stocks were weak as a result
of agitation of the Southern Pacific in
qury and there were frantic appeals from
New York to know what was going on In
Congress.
report circulated at the Capitol that
Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio intends to offer an
amendment to the railway rate bill pro-
hibiting railroads owning coal mines or con-
trolling corporations that own them. Gen.
Grosvenor said he was contemplating Of
fering such an amendment but was not
sure that he would. 1t is not certain that
the amendment would be adopted. as the
republican and democratic leaders, acting
under unanimous report on the bill, are dis
posed to resist all amendments.
