DISEASED BEEF

TEN INDICTMENTS RETURNED
IN VERMONT
Cattle Known to Be Unfit for Slaugh-

to the Trade In the
State
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BURLINGTON, VT, Oct. 31.-Sensa-
tional charges were made today in ten
indictments which were returned by
the Chittenden county grand jury in
connection with the sale of diseased
cattle in the state and in the sale of
which, according to the indictments,
two former members of the state cat
tie commission participated with full
knowledge that such cattle would be
used for food purposes.
Four of the indictments were against
the Consolidated Rendering company.
This company is controlled by the Con-
Solidated Rendering company and the
Indictment against Brigham, which
also contain 400 counts, are identical
with those returned against the Consol-
idated company.
The most sensational disclosures were
made in the indictments which were
returned against DR.. F. Rich. a veter-
marian of this city, and Victor l.. Spear
of Randolph, both of whom were MEM
bers of the state cattle commission.
Spears term expired about one year
ago and he was not reappointed. Rtch
was removed from the commission by
Governor Bell just before the latter re-
tired from office.
CONDEMNED Medt oolu
The indictments against the Consoli-
dated company and Brigham charge
the sale of diseased meat in the state
and also the shipment of such diseased
meat out of the state for the purpose of
putting it on sale.
Rich and Spear are charged with SELL
ing diseased beef, which they had pre-
viously condemned, to the rendering
companies.
All of the defendants furnished bonds
for their appearance at the March term
of the Chittenden county court
Before the grand jury reported at
the morning session of the court Judge
Rowel imposed a fine of $4,000 on the
Consolidated Rendering company for
it's failure to produce for the grand jury
certain papers and memoranda which
had been demanded.
The defendants, in contesting the
charge for contempt of court proceed
ings, maintained that the papers had
been destroyed prior to the investiga-
ton. Judge Rowell overruled the mo-
ton to dismiss the case and imposed
the fine.
In explanation of his failure to make
the fine the maximum allowable under
the statutes, the judge stated that In
fixing the penalty he had in mind the
fact that there are further means of
furnishing the company.
1t was learned that the Vermont law
provides that a company found guilty
of the charges which are pending
against the Consolidated company may
be permanently prohibited from doing
business in the state.

Spenders," was domiciled for summer
in Connecticut with colony of artists

Evening Post.
Wilson was doing nothing but loaf
ing. He loafed artistically, and from
time 10 time met and had fun with
some OF the natives of the place. One
day he found two men in the road who
seemed congenial. and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
a drive and they got a surrey and two
horses.
Can you drive?" asked Wilson.
Sure" one of his sudden friends re-
piled, Il am fine driver"
They got aboard and started down
the read. Before they had gone half
mile the team was frightened by
passing automobile and ran away. The
driver valiantly steered the horses
into telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown helter-
SHELTER into the road.
Wilson slowly gathered himself to-
gether. One of his friends was sitting
in the ditch rubbing his bruises and
the olher stood in the middle of the
road gazing in fearful misery at two
front teeth which he held in the palm
of his hand.
Pretty lucky escape, wasn't it?"
asked Wilson. for want of something
better to say.
Yes replied the man with the
teeth, weeping afresh. but please. oh,
please. tell me, what shall do with

MUSIC OF THE NIGHTINGALE
When Heard by Day Is Not All
That It Is Cracked
Up to Be.

The nightingale's song was. of
course, unlike my preconceived idea of
1t. had expected rushing outpour-
ing OF music. but I found more de-
liberate song of disconnected phrases
of three to five seconds length each.
followed by pauses of almost equal du.
ration, writes Frank M. Chapman. in
Scribner.
The nightingale, in transport seemed
to fling
His warble out, and then sit listen
ing"
Occasionally more prolonged
strain was given, but, as a whole, the
song lacked the force, crescendo and
diminuendo effects of a continuous eff
Tort. 1t is surprisingly loud song,
in tone decided whistle wonder
fully voluble, varied. but rather hard
performance. At times a measure or
two suggested portions of the song
of our nocturnal singer, the chat, and
again some of the more rapid calls
reminded one of certain notes of the
Carolina wren, but as a whole we have
no bird whose song resembles that of
the nightingale.
Two days later, at Cambridge, hear
ing a nightingale singing in the after
noon, when its voice formed merely a
part of the springtime chorus, was
impressed alike with the part the
birds nocturnal habits have played
in establishing it's reputation as a
songster and with the characteristic
ornithologic insight displayed in Shake
speare's lines:
The nightingale, if she should sing
by day,
When every goose is cackling would

No better musician than the wren"

Bills of Different Birds.

The bill of the canary is built for
crushing seeds-has strength, but In
many of the doves the bill is slender
and weak. Many of the pigeons and
DOVES that feed on seeds have glz-
yards that are large and muscular
crushing and grinding being accom-
plished in that way. 1t is difficult TO
say bow much birds experience taste
probably in small degree. Ducks
and parrots have soft. fleshy tongues,
but in most birds much of the tongue
