Pittsburg, Pa July l6-President
Judge Fraser this morning delivered a
sharp reprimand to counsel for Angus
tus Hartje for the manner in which they
had been keeping the famous love letters
in their possession. He sever ly scored
both sides for the amount of talking
which had been done outside of court
and some of the attorneys became some
what incensed. With no sparing hand
he criticised the conduct of the attor-
neys and finally, saying that he suppOs-
ed he had said enough, he adjourned the
case until tomorrow morning at $3.50
o clock, in order to give counsel for Mrs.
Harlje, time to examine the disputed let
tiers. Mrs. Mary Harlje was not present
10 the court room this morning, showing
that her attorneys had anticipated the
postpOnement.

Union Detective Agency expects to
cause the arrest of young woman IN
Oakland, who will be charged with writ
ing the famous love letters to "Tom"

liant, are trying to prove we're written by

The motion is outlined in a docu-
ment of thirteen printed pages, and is
based on six grounds A brief sub
hitting arguments on the grounds pre-
scented is to be submitted later. The
attorneys for Burton contend that the

tentiOn of Burton that the statue under

is unconstitutional. The other five
points raised are that the question of
admission or rejection Of certain evil
dence was not considered; that certain

Inspector Cochran of the pOstOffice de,
partment shonld not have been per

information TO Senator Burton, bearing
on the complaints against the Rialto

MONDAY EVENING. JULY 10. 1906.

As A result of the disclosures OF the
filthy and sickening conditions in the
packing houses of Chicago, and debate
in Congress preceding the efforts to
obtain legislation to protect the Ameri-
can people from unwholesome meat pro-
ducts, serious inroads have been made
on the foreign trade OF the packers. AL
though the packers are not in jail.
their sins are finding them out, and,
AZ stated in Saturdays Gazette, there
wss a falling of in exports of more than
sTOO. 900 in canned beef, hams, pork
products and lard for the mOnts OF
June, as compared with the same month
last year. Figures compiled by the
bureau of statistics show that the export
trade in canned beef alone decreased
more than so per cent, and the pros
poets are that there will be further fall
lug of until the foreign buyers learn
that an efficient system of inspection
has been provided. There would have
been greater decrease, but for the tact
that much of the meat exported last
month was shipped to ell existing con-
tracts. some of which have now been
Cancelled. After awhile the meat trust
will learn that honesty is the best policy
and then both the no ne and foreign con-
sumers of packed meats may get pure and
wholesome food-which they pay for.
