MAI. BARTLETT's ACCOUNTS.
NO Discovery to Throw Light on the
Shortage.

Whiie there continues to be a great deal
o. gossip about the accounts of the late
MAJ. Bartlett, who Is short $4,000 to the
government, no discovery has been made
that would throw genuine light upon the
whole thing.
treasury officials say the fact is that
MAJ. Bartlett died with a shortage in his
accounts of $4,000 and that nobody has
been able to explain how II came about
The idea that Maj. Bartlett borrowed sla,-
Ooo on the occasion of each settlement to
cover the deficiency Is ridiculed. Secretary
Shaw has admitted that there was care
iessness on the part of treasury agents in
tneir periodic settlements with the dead

counting the cash on hand which would

sent over the vouchers and took Bartlett 8
words that he had the difference in cash
In his safe. 1t was a case of hating to

treasury omcfals who knew MAJ; Bartlett
Simply accepted his word for having the
cash on hand. and there is where the trou-
bic lay.
So far as the treasury people can as
certain, nothing has yet come to light show
ing how the money might have been spent
1T is recalled that Maj Bartlett OCCASION

leaving his business In the hands of SUBJ
ordlnates The chances were favorable to
bad business then. but nothing was ever
done to correct the habits of the disbursing

AMERICAN CANNED GOODS.
Germany to Institute Closer Inspec
ton of Meats.

BERLIN. July 20--As the result of
Inquiries instituted owing to the re-
port that the German government had
decided TO enforce such stringent laws
against American canned products as to
virtually exclude them, 1t is learned that
several recent seizures of meat unfit for
food made at custom houses on the Russian
frontier caused inquiries to be made by the
customs authorities and the Prussian min
istry of agriculture regarding the system of
inspection.
1t was learned that the practice had been,
ordinarily, either not to break package,
or. II opened, not to cut slices of its con-
tents for close examination. This casual in
spection permitted. it is believed, considera-
BILE trade In diseased and tainted meat, and
also in unborn calves.
Changes In the regulations recurring a
close inspection before the official stamp is
used are In course of preparation by repre-
sentatives of the customs and AGRICULTURAL
rath.
The regulations will apply to imports
over whatever frontier, hence they will
cover American meats, but as these are al
ready more restricted than the importations
of newly killed Russian and Austrian
meats. which habitually are Inspected more
searchingly at the ports than hitherto has
been the case with overland imports
But a more serious movement directed
solely against American meat and lard. is
being pushed by agrarian interests. with
the likelihood OF commanding powerful sup
port in the reichstag when the matter
comes up in the autumn. 1t was started
by the so-calied agricultural chambers,
composed of landlords and farmers and
resulted in the Prussian diet in June adopt
ing a resolution recommending that the
government pass law excluding absolute
ly all preserved meat unaccompanied by
the glands and all other parts Of the car

Now that Mr.. E. E Clark is a member Of
the interstate commerce commission his
testimony before the interstate commission
concerning the conduct of interstate com
merce is of soecial interest.
Mr.. Clark was called before the commits
sion to express his views as the grand chief
conductor of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors and chairman of the executive
committee Of the Federation of American
hahWay Employees. He was questioned on
that occasion by Commissioner John L.
Kennedy and others. He then treated the
raIway problem from the viewpoint of the
conductors He paid especial attention to
the tendency of railroads to refuse to en-
ploy any except young men.
we think 1t is an unfair decision" said
MI Clark, referring to this custom of the
railroads.
He explained that some of the roads nut
the age limit for hiring men as low as
tWenty-eight years for brakeman or fire

Charges Made by Richard

Leading Figure in Unholy Federal
Despotism in Illinois.
ALLEGED EVILS OF MACHINE


Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 2O-Wiliam b.
Ridgeley, United States controller of the
currency, was attacked last night by
farmer Richard Yates, candidate for the re-
publican nomination for United States
senator, during speech at 6922 Wentworth
avenue as leading figure in the "unholy
federal despotism'' which Senator Cullom
has built up in Illinois.
The former governor accused R.dgeley OF
mixing in the state senatorial fight by ap-
pointing Cullom men as bank examiners
and federal receivers Mr.. Yates also paid
his respects to Billy" Cooke, brother of
John A. Cooke, protege of Representative
Lorimer, boss in the ninth ward, by saying
that his appointment as receiver of defunct
financial institutions was made solely by a
United States judge because of Cooke S
ability to deliver his ward to Culom.
In his attack upon Controller Ridgeley
Gov. Yates said. in part, after unve!linS
the alleged evils of the so-called machine
run by Senators Cullom and Hopkins and
Representative William Lorimer:
This federal alliance has a strong factor
in the national controller OF the currency,
William B. Ridgeley."
The head of the monetary department OF
this nation is felt here today. What has
he to do with this fight? He was appointed
by President Mckinley at the dictation OF
Senator Cullom, because Mr.. Mckinley
needed Mr.. Cullom's vote to ratify some
treaties. Today Mr.. Ridgeley is taking
part by appointing bank examiner and
federal receivers.
If a man goes to the lower branch of the
state legislature and wears the yoke Of
federal despotism he is made bank ex-
aminer. If a man goes to the upper house
he is made a federal receiver or something.
This is the reward.
