gins Investigation.
HAD STARTED 1T EARLY
Actions Not Prompted by Con-
gressiOnal Report.
Won't Use Facts as Basis for
Legal Action.

DIR. s. J. Crumbine, secretary OF the
Kansas state board OF health. is making
some Investigations OF the packing
house situation, with special references
to the question Of the use OF preserva-
tves
MY inquiries were not prompted BY
the congressional report" said Dr..
Crumbine, In speaking Of the matter
q few days ago. Il suppose people viii
think that that report was what start
ed me on this line. As 8 matter OF fact
my circular letters on the subject were
prepared before the present excitement
about the packing house situation
am making this investigation with
sincere desire to find out what the
packing houses themselves think about
these problems. I realize that there is
more than one side to the question OF
preservatives. Under certain circuu-
stances il is possible that their use may
be justified: that Is a matter about
which food authorities disagree. I want
to see what the packers themselves
say about it,
The information which Dr. Crumbine
secures in answer to his letter Of in
quiry, which has gone to every packing
house in the state, will not be used as
basis for any legal action or legal
Investigation. This is pledged BY Nj.
Crumbine. He says that he wants TO
cooperate with the packers in a move
ment to secure the best results for all
concerned. The letter which he has sent
out is as follows:
This Office desires the opinion Of
the manufacturers of meat products q
Kansas, on the following questions: The
replies to- be used as a basis for rec
ommendation by the secretary Of the
state board OF health and for no other
reasons.
I'VE recognize many difficulties in the
way of an ideal system of presenting
to the consumer, meat products that
hole
we mean to be fair and impartial to the
gI eat industries, while at the same time
conserve the interest and health of the
consumers. With this enc in view the
following questions are submitted.
I. Do you know of any reason either
commercial or sanitary why the use of
artificial coIoring matter in meat pro-
ducts should not be discontinued as
contemplated by the law in section
1926.
.. Do you consider ID absolutely nee
essary to use preserVatiVes in your mix
ed or compound meat products, il so
why2 What product kind and name.
also kind and minimum amount that
could be used?
"3. What objections have you, if any
to distinctly labelling all packages and
cans and products setting forth the
kind and amount Of presentations
used?
a What reasonable objection could
be offered to the boards insistsnce on a
literal compliance with all other pre-
visions of the pure food laws of Kan
sas?
"A similar letter has been sent to all
the packing houses Of Kansas.
Trusting you will be free and frank
to state your opinions and assuring you
that your replies be used only in the
manner above indicated I am yours ETC.

THEY TALK IT OVER.
Myers Condemnation Committee Meets
But Takes No Action.

The special council meeting on reso-
buttons consisting of Councilmen Mont
gomery, Howe and Swendson, met last
night. The committee was appointed
with the special purpose of bringing in
resolutions condemning /. E. Myers for
reading and introducing his Moller affi-
dayit to the council committee on
streets and walks
Proof is being gathered, it is claimed,
which will substantiate the major part
OF the charges which are contained in
the Moller affidavit against c. R. Maun-
sell and it is for this reason that T. F.
Doran and F. G. Kelley and Albert
Patten have conferred with members
of the special committee. The claim is
made that all the charges will be fully
proved and the committee Is going slow
for this reason.
we didn't do anything last evening
except to discuss the matter sOme''
said Councilman Swendson. I'VE
haven't adopted any resolutions yet"
I'VE don't want to pass a set of res
buttons which afterwards we may find
reason to regret said Mayor W. H.
Davis this morning. THE committee
should take time in its deliberations.

Committee on Agriculture
VIII Try to Change IT.
Washington. June 16--An effort is
to be made today by members Of the
house committee on agriculture who
signed the majority report for the
house substitute for the Beverage
meat inspection amendment to make
certain notifications in the substitute
intended to meet the objections OF
President Roosevelt to that measure.
While Representative Adams does not
feel at liberty to make public the sug-
gestions which were nored by the
president, he says they contemplate
the elimination Of the court review
provision. The cost is to remain as
PROVIDED IN the SUBSTITUTE 10 Dc pAlQ
by the government with the possibility
that the suggestion made by Mr..
Cowan. representing Texas cattle rails
ers. may be added to the provision.
This suggestion was that a certain sum
be appropriated each year and spent
for the inspection. II this sum should
prove inadequate the secretary of ag-
riculture is then to levy an assessm ent
on the cattle killed to meet the addi-
tional cost. The provision waving the
civil service is also eliminated There
are, Mr.. Adams said, several other sug-
gestions for minor changes which will
be considered.
The present plan is to bring the
meat inspection bill into the house for
consideration Tuesday

1T gradually grew. I resented the
revelation, as it were, and for years
was grieved and angry If anyone sug-
gested that I was Elijah. I am not a
visionary man. The first time 1t came
to my attention was in Melbourne, or
Sidney, Australia, while at the head
of q Bible society. One night I was
asked to preach a sermon. I went
to supper and ordered two meals,
which I forgot to eat. I had been
thinking over my subject and could
not get beyond Elijah. I was think
ing of his remarkable career. and my
supper got cold. One of my deacons
told me 1 had message from God.
I laughed and said, You go away and
let me alone He said, I want to tell
you. you are Elijah He said that
three times and walked away. I was
much distressed. for he could not have
known I had been thinking Of Elijah
for an hour. I spoke. and my last
idea was that I was Elijah. But as
God is my judge. the thought that I
was the second embodiment never en-
tered my head After the sermon one
member said to me, I feel like saying
you are Elijah" I said I am not

NO HELP FOR CITIES.
Franchises Are Above the Power of
Municipal Legislation.

st. Paul Mimi, June ia deci-
sion of the utmost Importance to every
American city trying to reduce the
gas or water rates during the life of
franchise, has been filed in the United
States circuit court of appeals by
Judge Walter H. Sanborn. in the cases
of Edmund NJ. Fairfield and Stockton
Heth VS.. the United States of America,
and the Omaha Water company VS..
the City of Omaha ct al. The first is
a case of contempt of court, arising
from the second. Both come from the
Nebraska district.
In the spring Of 1905 the city of
Omaha through its water board at
tempted to reduce the meter rates for
water in that city, the Omaha Water
company being the company affected
by the proposed change 1t applied
for injunction against the city. pro-
hibiting it from putting the rates into
effect, but the application was denied,
whereupon suit was brought in the
circuit court for the district of Ne
braska on the ground that their fran
chise was q contract and according
to Federal law could not be impaired
by legislation.
The court held that the clause in
the constitution of Nebraska prohibit
ing the state legislature from making
any irrevocabIe grant applied in this,
and decided in favor of the city. The
company then appealed to the circuit
court of appeals on writ of error
The appellate court, in the opinion
filed and written by Judge Walter H.
Sanborn. upheld the claim Of the
company, reversed the decision of the
lower court, and remanded the case to
the lower court for further proceed
ings not inconsistent with the opinion.
The other case arose when E. NJ.
Fairfield and Stockton Heth, employees
of the water company. were ordered
7,z- ole rf he IN
the books of the company. They did
not produce the records, and were
fined $50 each and costs. This was
upheld by Judge Sanborn.

parliament are convinced that 1t is the
present intention of the government to
prevail on the emperor to order a re-
cess of parliament and they have ia
ken the important resolution not to
obey the imperial order This amounts
to open defiance and is a purely reyo-
luton step. The plans of the leaders
were secretly formulated but it is
known that If the government turns the
lower house out of the Tauride palace,
the leaders contemplate an attempt to
continue the sittings independently In
other words they viii try to seize the
reins of power. The eternal parallel
Of the French revolution which keeps
recurring is thus again in evidence
The members would probably be re-
quired to swear as did those of the
French assembly to meet wherever cir
eumstances require it until a constitu-
ton is established on a solid founda-
tor.
