The author of 1.-THE Slave of Silence
Fred NJ. White, is one of England
popular writer's OF ingenious mystery
stories. Discussing the subject of
ideas OF novels, he said recently:
81 recollect some years ago in fine
weather looking out of a back window
and seeing a clothes line. Noticing
that the line Sag2ed-thc reason being
that it had not been in recent usc-and
remembering that directly clothes
line gets wet it comes up like a harp
string. I at once exclaimed to myself.
Here's a motive. BY some means or
another a man fainting or wounded falls
in q mesh of cord that is loose and
hanging down. There is 4 kink in the
cord. rain descends, the cord tightens
ard the man is Stran2led. Subse-
qucrtly the rain ceases. the cord zoos
ems. and the body drops to the ground.
This would be a death difficult to ac
count for. wouldn't il? | utilized tn"

to know the facts, would seem TO in
dicate that but little additional dam
age to anybody could he accomplished
through the publication of the report
GOVERNMENT HOLDS TRUMP
CARDS.
Commenting on the question of the
constitutionality of the amendment if
it should become a law in that it in
terferes with state rights. prominent
Government official remarked that in
any event the packers could be forced
to terms. They are very anxious over
their great foreign meat trade and
this is largely dependent upon Govern
ment inspection of carcasses. Abroad
the Government inspection tag is
looked upon as guarantee, and with
out il foreign meat trade would suffer
inestimably. Should the packers re-
fuse to allow the Government to in
spect food for home consumption, the
Government could in its turn refuse
TO inspect meats for export.
The Breckenridge news., 1906-06-27

sufficient appropriation for foreign in
spection. a number of large packing
house concerns voluntarily offered 10
defray the cost involved.
CONSUMER PAYS COST ANYWAY.
1t is stated that. Of course, the pack
ing house people. otherwise the beer
trust. will pass the cost of the inspec-
tlon along TO the consumer; but as 1t
will only amount to about or cents
a head on each carcass the Increase
will not be appreciahle in the individ-
ual beef steak. at least il ought not TO
be. but the combination Of packers,
dealers, wholesalers, retailers, etc,
will doubtless make an excuse for put
ting up meat at least n cent a pound,
and thus make an investment of many
hundred per cent off the amount
which they pay for the Government
inspection.
HOW THE TROUBLE BEGAN.
Some time ago Upton Sinclair pub
lished "The Jungle" 1t was novel
and horrible. II showed that the in
spection service at the Chicago pack
ing houses was wholly inadequate. 1t
was proved that the Government in
spectors passed on the conditions Of
the carcaSses when the animals were
killed; but after that there were no
inspections and the conditions were
3 incredibly revolving. Presto mt RooSe-
welt read the book and is stated to
have been outraged at the statements
made. Were they true or were they
exaggerated? lie made some inquiri S
and found that the statements were all
we'll founded. Then he was genuinely
angry. Secretary Wilson sent com
mission out to look into the condition
of affairs, but the President was ap-
parently not satisfied with the Govern
ment commission, so he sent his close
personal friend, Mr.. j. B. Reynolds, a
prominent social worker and man Of
means, and Mr.. Charles l.. Neill, the
United States Commissioner of Labor,
on a purely personal Inspection tour.
The expenses of the two investigators
were paid by the Government, but the
men received no salaries and the in
Quiry was, In way, unofficial.
There has never yet been any writ
ten report made public from these two
Investigators; likely there will not be;
but the President knows all they
found out, and the packers know ii
too. Both the President and the
packers were Mortified; the reasons
were different The story around the
Capitol regarding this investigation
runs something like this: The packers
said, III this sort of a story gets out
II will ruin our business abroad" The
President remarked in effect, IF I'll
that | know gets out, il Will ruin
your business at home too"
"Now," said the packers, make any
sort of an inspection law you want
pass it and we will stand for 1t, and
