BOSTON, July 1.-THE state board of
health today made public the result
of its Investigation of canned meats.
The board examined nearly 15O different
kinds of canned meats from every
possible source, as we'll as the canned
meat establishments.
In a general way the results of the
investigation aredavorable to the man.
ufacturers, both in the east and west.
but 1t was found that many of the
preparations contained large amount
of foreign matter. OF one brand of
potted ham prepared by a western
firm the report states:
This was found to consist of a small
amount of normal muscle, considerable
eptdermis in large pieces, numerous
blood vessels and nerves and the sali-
vary gland, ground into paste. Quality
poor, the material being largely scrap"
Corn Meal Used
OF another western potted ham, the
report says.
Abundant muscle fiber considerable
epidermis, much granular debris, some
fat and corn meal. Quality fair, but
inasmuch as there appears to be no ex-
cuse for the presence of corn meal,
1t must be regarded as adulterated"
A number of other products, the board
of health states, contain corn meal.
Several brands of prepared meat
were found to contain either boric acid
or borax as a preservative. One west
ern chicken loaf is thus described
Very little muscular fiber much con-
nective tissue, and corn. 1t is pre-
served with either boric acid, or borax."
The report says regarding conditions
in this state:
THE large establishments were found
to be conducted in all particulars in a
scrupulously neat and clean manner.
OF twenty-five smaller establishments
only five were found to be entitled to
be graded excellent"
The ton went far enough to
show that the local authorities may
well give careful attention to the
slaughter houses within their several
jurisdictions.

GYPSY ORUBBING
FELLS AGED MAN
BRISC0E KEELS OVER WHILE
TALKING WITH FRIEND
Autopsy viii Determine Cause Of
Death-Victim Was Horse Trader
Working With Wander
ing Turk

Is the gypsy who gave Robert Bris-
coe, aged 60, a severe drubbing on last
Sunday responsible for the mans sud
den death yesterday noon?
This is a question which will be an
swered when the autopsy is performed
on the mans body.
1t is believed that Briscoe at that
time was internally injured. which re-
suited in his death.
Brscoe was sitting on a wash stand
in the barn at the rear of the J. w.
Mattox residence, 1920 West Pico street
yesterday chatting with J. w. Mattox
when he died. MattoX, who is a horse
dealer did not discover for some time
that the man was dead but thought
that he had fallen asleep. Mattox is a
friend of the deceased and told the
following story regarding the man yes
terday afternoons:
"The first time that I have seen the
man for years was Sunday afternoon.
I once knew him well in Salt Lake City
and found him to be a pleasant and
agreeable sort of fellow.
Traded for the Gypsies
"I was walking past a gypsy camp on
kind of horses they had. l noticed this
man there and saw that he was badly
beaten up Both his eyes were black
and his face was bruised. I asked him
what the trouble was, and he said
- - - did it,. / then recog-
nized him as Briscoe.
"He told me that he had been in
Los Angeles for about year and that
he had made living trading horses
for the gypSies He said that he re-
ceived a dollar for each trade and his
board. ] told him to come over and see
me and / would trade him a horse. l
did not want to talk with him before
the other men. but wanted to get him
away from the men that were abusing
him.
HE was at our house on Tuesday and
staid for dinner. l told him that
would furnish him sufficient backing to
buy and sell horses and that l would
give him half the profits.
HE came to see me about 10 o'clock
this morning. He sat and talked with
me while I washed a buggy.
Thought Him Asleep
"About noon | noticed that he did
not answer a question 1 asked him. l
looked at him and thought that he had
fallen asleep.
"My wife told me that someone
wanted me at the telephone and | went
in the house When l was through
telephoning she said that dinner was
ready and 1 went out to waken Briscoe.
81 shook the man little and he did
not stir. / thought that he was sleep
ing so soundly that I would let him
alone and that he could get something
to eat when he woke up. l went in to
dinner and before l had finished my
wife said that I had better get the man
to come in as she did not want to wait
all the afternoon before getting the
dishes washed.
~ again went to the barn. This time
| shook the man hard. He did not
move and I found that he was dead. l
called doctor but he was of no use.
The man did not suffer any pain but
died quietly"
1t is believed that the injuries that
Briscoe received on Sunday were of
such a nature that they did not pain
him but caused him to suddenly expire.
The body was taken to Bresee Bros
mergue, where an inquest will be held

ALTON b. PARKER
REPLIES TO TAFT
By Associa ted Press.

By Associated Press
NEW YORK July 11.-Former Judge
Alton b. Parker, in a statement given
out today, took issue with some of the
utterances of Secretary of War Taft
in the speech delivered at Greensboro,
N. c., by Mr.. Taft last Monday.
Judge Parker declares that the sec
retary in his speech sought to have
the public draw the inference that the
recent prosecutions of alleged illegal
com mbinations are due TO new statutes.
To this Judge Parker takes eXcep-
ton and to support his contention he
quotes from his letter of acceptance
and a speech subsequently delivered
during the last presidential campaign.
In both the speech and the letter, Judge
Parker is quoted as saying that the
laws then on the statute books were
entirely adequate if enforced.
