MIR. sENTER ON THE BEEF SCANDAL
Says Mr.. Fits Lied II He Made Statements
Accredited Him.

To the Editor of the Herald
dislike very much to enter into news
paper controversy with any gentlemen on
the other side, because personalities have al
ways been very unpleasant to me; but, my
attention has been called to letter from
Thad NJ Chapman chairman Of the republi-
can state committee, published in the Rut'
land News of August %, in which he seems
to accuse me of having been guilty of com
pounding felony in suppressing informa-
ton regarding the sale of diseased meat In
this state by the cattle commissioners and
he says
las an energetic and state.loving citizen,
a man who has held high office Mr.. Senter
never made a move to bring the matter
brought to him before the proper officials.
His first public action was when he APP
peared upon the rostrum at Mortified and
made the declaration that the state was en-
gagged in the traffic of selling for consump-
ton tuberculosis affected meat. He repeated
this statement in a speech made at Burling-
ton August 8.
l am sorry, Mr.. Editor, to see that my
friend, Mr.. Chapman, has not had time to
read the newspapers. learned by hearsay
of what Mr.. Hutchinson claimed only one
day before the caucus at Montpelier, which
was called to elect delegates to the demo-
cratic county convention in Washington
county, and at that caucus, l made the
same charges against the cattle commission
that have since been substantiated by Mr..
Hutchinson and Mr.. Whitney in their aft
davits. The next day l interviewed Mr..
Hutchinson and Mr.. Whitney and found that
my statements SO made were in accordance
with the facts, and, at the Washington coun-
ty democratic convention, which was held
at Montpelier on the 21st day of july re-
iterated those statements
My speech before the caucus which was
several days before the convention, was
published in the Montpelier Evening Argus
and in the Montpelier Daily Journal and a
slight reference was made to it in that most
reliable (O newspaper,-the Burlington
Free Press. Also, the speech that made at
the Washington county convention July FL
was published broadcast. 1 reiterated these
statements at Bennington on Saturday, July
%, when John H. Mimms was present as a
reporter for the Free Press, and l asked
him publicly to take down my assertions
and challenged the Proctor machine, of
which Mr. Chapman is the head, to deny
it, And, I feel somewhat Inundated that
my statements SO publicly made and pub
lished as they were should have been over
looked by such a great harvester of votes as
is the agricultural chairman of the republi-
can machine, otherwise called the republican
party of the state of Vermont.
1 was not aware that I was compromising

l.. Charles y. White OF Richmond, In
the county of Chittcnden and state OF
Vermont, say. That am In politics n
republican,; that In October, 1903, the
cattle commission of the state of Yer
mont tested the cattle of w. q. White
of Richmond for tuberculosis; that ~
of said cattle were condemned by sniu
commission and were driven to the rail
way station Mt Richmond, under the
direction OF the state cattle commission.
The cattle 81 condemned were shipped
from Richmond and followed them To
Haverhil and Boston, Mass; one ear
load was set OF at Haverhill, in the
state OF Massachusetts, the remainder
were shipped TO Boston; that l was
there and saw the condemned cattle OF
NJ. :. Whiteomb and w. q. White un'
loaded from the ears aud saw about 10
of the herd slaughtered AT the slaugh'
ter house of the New England Meat 4
Wool Co. and dressed as beef is
dressed, the various parts, tongue,
liver. etc, saved. The cattle after
being dressed were put on the track and
run toward the cooling house. | saw
the government inspector inspecting the
same carcasses; of the l2O that ] saw
slaughtered. nine of the 100 were con
demned by the inspector, the remainder
were stamped ~. 5. Inspected, and
most Of them passed into the cooling
room. then came back to liaverhill
ana found the carload of cattle set OF
there in what was called meadow
pasture. The 1875 head of condemned
cattle were apparently in the charge of
one Rowell and one Farnham, who came
back together on the train. / heard
Rowell say TO Farnham: How many
do you suppose they picked on usF
Mr.. Farnham said; Il do not know;
how many9' Mr.. Rowell: Thirteen.

Condemned carcasses Not Marked.

|. Charles Blair of Colchester, VT,
say: That / worked for the Burling-
ton Rendering company in Burlington,
VI, in 1905. helped slaughter so head
of cattle and was informed by Mr..
Heath, foreman of the slaughter house,
that they were condemned cattle in
fected with tuberculosis After the
cattle were dressed as beef is dressed
they were hung on the track and split
in halves and later inspected by two
men whom Mr.. Heath called doctors.
The earcasses were inspected by them
and not marked in any way, and | did
not hear them say anything regarding
the cattle so inspected. | saw some of
these carcasses boned, the meat put in
barrels. ] also saw some of the sides
run into the cooling room and remain
there for some days. i do not know
what became of the meat that was put
in the cooler 1t was dressed with care
and was ordered to dress all that was
fat with care, and wash it clean, which
| did: the hearts and livers were saved
as any such part is saved in slaughter
ing cattle. To all of the above state
ments / am ready to make oath.

Drovers Took Cattle Away.

Testimony continues to accumulate as to
the extent and nature of the states traffic
in diseased beef. The whole situation is re-
voting enough, but the revelation that state
officials have been doing this business has
caused no end of indignation. request was
recently sent from the fusion headquarters to
Lawyer Burton E. Bailey of Montpelier to
communicate with the clerk of the cattle
commission which has been engaged in con-
demning cattle. Mr.. Bailey has made reply
under date of the Goth as follows
SAT your request I telephoned to George
Fl. Terrill, clerk of the cattle commission,
and learned from him that some of the dis
eased cattle condemned by the cattle commits
have been sent to Massachusetts,. He said he
could not tell me how much the state re-
ceived for these cattle per pound.
"He said that the commission or some of
them went to Boston with one lot and saw
the cattle slaughtered and inspected and
condemned by the inspectors.

sent to Massachusetts, have gone in charge OF

inforced concrete bridge and in or
der to bring this about and so that
every member of the council could
act intelligently, we caused each
member of the council to be notified
to come and view the work already
done by the General Contracting
company, one day last week. Part
of the members of the council did
respond and viewed the work and
Mr.. Crocker at that time was present
and had in his possession a plan for
concrete invert which is hereby at
tached and marked exhibit GA" and
for the benefit of the members who
were not present at that meeting, we
herewith report what we deem nee
essary to overcome all difficulties
which we have claimed heretofore:
To build concrete invert inches
thick and extend the invert out 6
feet on the east and west side, run
ming same along the wing walls.
Along the upstream to drop a cur
tain wall 2 feet below the proposed
bed of the stream, plumb, to insure
the gravel banking against same,
which will prevent any cutting Of
bed of stream. On the downstream
side, to have a curtain wall dropped
at As degrees to the face of the in
vert 2 feet below proposed bed Of
stream to prevent any cutting at that
point. Mr. Glocker has agreed to do
this free of charge to the city of Sa-
lef. The bridge committee is of the
opinion that the invert is good con-
struction and will make this bridge
a permanent structure and recon-
mended that the same be accepted
Respectfully,
r. E. DOWNING,
F. w. STEUSLoFF,
Mr.. Gesner again characterized
the compromise work on the bridge
as "snide work" and a makeshift and
said that the new railroad company
had agreed to pay $4,000 of the cost
and he believed they would object
to paying that amount with the
bridge In this condition.
Warrants were ordered drawn up
to pay for the following bills:

The committee reported favorably
on the applications of E. Eckerlen

The matter of the construction of
a foot bridge on 18th street between

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept 1S.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt during the day re-
ceived a delegation of manufacturers
from Germany who sought relief from
what they considered restrictive legis-
lation in American customhouses
against imports from Germany. The
delegation was headed by G. Leo Zef-
fen Of Aix-la-C happelle and Bernhardt
Cohnen of Gredebroich. President
Roosevelt referred them to Washing
ton, where they went Immediately and
were they were to consult the Oficials
Of the treasury and state departments
and present in detail any complaints
they have to make against the GUS
toms regulation. After these COM
plants have been made the president
indicated that he would receive a re-
port regarding them from officials of
these departments.
After the interview with the presi-
dent Mr.. Zoffen explained that the
meeting was one of vital Importance
to German manufacturers. Last July,

ne said, tariff war by Germany
against the United States was avoided
and an agreement made by which no
such action would be taken for one
year because 1t had been represented
that American customs regulations
would be 80 amended In favor of Ger
man imports SO as to do away with
the yexation complained OF. Up to
this time, he said, no step had seem
fngly been taken by the American adj
ministration to carry out Its part Of
the agreement He said that the
agrarian members in the German
reichstag were decidedly in favor OF a
tariff war against America and that
the failure on our part to amend the
obnoxious custom regulation would
serve as an excellent excuse for the
beginning of this war next July.

Giant BeItrami Corn.

M. g. Carson has a field of pop.
corn that excels anything of the
kind ever seen in Beltrami
county. He pulled stalk from
his field yesterday and exhibited
it in the city. The stalk was nine
feet, ten inches high, and the
ears on the t,lk were twelve
inches long, from the socket to
the silk on the end. This corn
was raised on the Carson farm,
on the southwest shore of Lake
Irving, about two miles from the
city of BENZ iii. Mr.. Carson Sc
cured the seed for the corn from
a firm in Philadelphia. The ex
cellence of the crop attests to the
value Of Beltrami county cut.over
lands for agricultural purpos es,
