LACKAWANNA UP ON CHARGES.
Discrimination Against Independent
Oil Firm Alleged.

NEW YORK, December 1.-The charge
that the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad had Disseminated against
Preston & Davis. Independent oil dealers in
Brooklyn, in refusing to deliver kerosene
in bulk at the Wallabout terminal Of the
road came up yesterday at hearing of the
interstate commerce commission in the Fed
eral building. 1t is charged by Preston &
Davis that the railroad discontinued the
delivery of oil in bulk to them in response
to pressure by officials of the Standard Oil
Company, whose subsidiary concern, the
Mehlen Family Oil Company, is one of
Preston & Davis chief competitors in
Brooklyn.
Commissioner Knapp presided, Commits
sioners Clements and Prouty sitting with
him. Preston & Davis were represented
by Henry A. Powell w. 8. Jenny, general
counsel for the Delaware and Lackawanna,
defended the interests of the road.
Former State Senator David F. Davis,
one of the members Of the firm, testified
that the firm was organized in 1890 to do
a family Oil business in Brooklyn. At that
time it bought its oil from the Standard
Oil Company in barrels. About the same
time the Mehlen Family Oil Company
started up: Davis suspected that it was
controlled by the Standard, but he didn't
find out definitely until few years later.

LOUDEESLAGER'S VIEWS
IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING
SESSION OF CONGRESS.

Representative Loudenslager Of New Jer-
sey. secretary Of the republican congress
SIGNAL campaign committee, was in town
today attending to few chores for some
constituents. He got the glad hand wher-
ever he went. among POLITICIANS and con-
gressmen. From President Roosevelt, the
head of the party down to every republic
can interested in the result of the recent
congressional elections, Mr.. Loudensiager
received hearty congratulations upon the
committees and his own good work In the
campaign.
"Will we have an interesting session Of
Congress?" repeated Mr.. Loudenslager, re-
plying to a Star mans question. Every
session of Congress in these times ID in
terestng. There's bound to be something
of interest to the people and this great
country at every meeting. There will be
plenty of work to do, and it will have to
be done in a short time.
II hope to see one important measure
acted upon--the bill to revive the Ameri-
can merchant marine. l have uouble in
terest in it. First, as an American citizen
l feel that 1t Is a crying shame that We
should have let our merchant marine dwin-
die away until now we have to carry prac-
tically all of our tremendous commerce In
foreign ships.
Furthermore, as a member of the COM
mittee on naval affairs. and intensely
eager to upbuild and support an adequate
navy, 1 realize what an adjunct to the
navy the merchant marine contemplated
by the pending legislation would furnish.
1t would reduce the cost Of the navy and
ia cilitate it's expansion in time of need.
With boys from all over the country in
the merchant marine. we would find the
people taking greater interest and pride
in maritime affairs and in the navy. for
eventually these young men would find

II shall certainly do all in my power to
forward this legislation and try to over
come the prejudice against the bill which
exists in some sections of the country"

MEAT REGULATIONS
HEALTH OFFICER WOODWARD'S
PROPOSED BILL.

To regulate the sale and slaughter of
meat in the District, Health Officer Wood
ward has drafted bill which he submit
ted to the Commissioners yesterday, with
recommendation that 1t be referred to the
corporation counsel for legal composition
and for an opinion as to whether the Com
missioners have power to promulgate the
regulations provided in the draft without
congressional legislation.
As his reason for the proposed regula-
TONS DIR. Woodward said that prior to
the recent enactment of the federal meat
inspection law. live stock killed in abat-
toirs and slaughter houses In adjacent
states were subject to no inspection what
soever. while live stock killed in the Dis
tr;ct was. Under such conditions live
stock, liable to be condemned IL brought
into the District for slIughtering, was
taken into adjacent states to be killed, and
the carcasses were presumably returned to
the District in such a form as would pre-
clude the discovery of the diseased con-
dition of the animal from which the meat
came. But the enactment of the federal
meat inspection law and the establishment
of the system of rigid inspection of ami
mails slaughtered in adjacent states for
consumption in the District will lead he
believes. TO the bringing into the District
for slaughter of animals that are not In a
condition TO pass the federal inspection. and
to the Strengthening of such animals here
for local consumption.
Commissioner Mcfarland who has su-
pervision over the health department of the
District, approved the suggestion of the
health officer today.
What the Bill Provides.
The bill provides for the registration of
all slaughter houses in the District Pro-
visions are also made for the heating light
ing and ventilation of all buildings used for
this purpose, while the provisions for clean
Illness follow closely those of the federal
meat inspection laws. Especial attention is
PAL. to the prevention of the employment
OF persons affected with tuberculosis or any
other communicable diseases. The proposed
bill says that all Strengthening shall be
done between the hours Of sunrise and sun
set, except by order of the health officer.
and that each carcass must be inspected
and passed by an inspector In the service
of the District health department.. The
words ID. G.. Inspected and Passed will
be stamped upon all carcasses which have
passed inspection, while condemned meat
will be anointed or injected with kerosene
Violations of any OF the provisions is pun
ishable by a fine not exceeding 500.
However IL IL not the intention OF DIR.
Woodward TO have this law. In so far as 1t
to stock yards slaughter houses and pack
ing houses IN which. under inspection by
the federal government, animals are kept
and slaughtered, and In which meat prod
ucts are prepared for interstate and for
eign commerce

Remarkable Archaeological Discovery
by DR.. Won Lecoq.

BOMBAY. December 1.-Dr. Won Lecoq,
who has been travelling in the most remote
parts Of Central Asia on a scientific mis-
sion with which he was charged by the
Prussian government, has arrived at Srin-
agar capital Of Kashmir, with an i'm
portant collection Of archaeological discov-
cries. These include several highly inter-
esting paintings upon stucco, with gold-leaf
backgrounds like Italian works, and a
number of manuscripts in ten different
languages, one in wholly unknown
tongue. This is probably the greatest
archaeological find since the days of Sir
Henry Rawlinson and Sir Austen Layard.
