 Several brands of prepared meat were found to contain either boracc acid or borax as preservative. One western "chicken loaf Is thus described:
 Very little muscular fiber; much con- nective tissue and corn. 1t is preserved with either boracic acid or borax''
 The label states that the material is of superior quality, having been care fully selected and inspected according to the law enacted by Congress March 3. 1891. relating to the inspection of meats"
 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 grade excellent"
 The investigation went far enough to show that local authorities may well give careful attention to the slaughter houses within their several jurisdictions.

 HANDS OF COUNSEL
WILL SAY NOTHING IN FUTURE EXCEPT ON THEIR ADVICE. WHITES WILL FILED FOR PRO- BATE.

New York, July Hilary K. Thaw's attitude toward the press and the public underwent a striking change between morning and evening today. Immediately after breakfast he secured permission to have a delegation of newspaper men brught to him at the Tombs, telling them after a friendly interview that to talk with any one besides the lawyers. doc tors and prison officials, was like get ting a whiff of fresh air from the out side world"
 This evening it was different. When the newspaper men sent Thaw a note asking if he wished to add anything to his formal statement of Tuesday he sent a reply which said:
 ''I have said all that I wish to say. In future I shall be guided by the advice of my counsel"
 At his morning interview with the newspaper men Thaw asked them to give the widest publucity to his statement of yesterday which declared that he was not insane and he declared that there was to be no lunaey commission appointed to inquire into his state of mind.

 IN BUILDING THE CANAL

Put-in-Bay, July 11.-Secretary of War Taft, in his speech this afternoon before the State Bar association, talked upon the Panama canal by giving reasons for the selection by the government of the Panama route and explaining the appar- ent delay in the actual work of exca- vation. The necessity of improved sanitary conditions being established before the actual work of construction was actively commenced, was strongly emphasized, and 1t was shown that the nearly 2s,0OO em- ployed had in reality accomplished more than any one realized in the building and equipping of railroads, the construction of a water supply and building of thou work.

Washington, July u-An injunction was issued today by Justice Wright of the District of Columbia supreme court restraining United States Treasurer Treat from paying to former United States Senator Matthew c. Butler of South Carolina $75.OO0. a portion of the fee allowed for prosecuting suits against the United States and obtaining judg ments in favor of the Cherokee nation.

BOSTON HEALTH BOARD
 EXAMINES CANNED MEATS

Boston, July 1.-The state board of health today made public the result of it's investigation of canned meats. The board examined nearly 15O different kinds of canned meats from every possible souree as well as the canned meat establish ments.
 In a general way the results of the in vestigatons are favorable to the manu- lecturers, both in the east and in the west. but 1t was found that many of the preparations contained a large amount of foreign matter. Of one brand of potted ham prepared by a western firm the re- port states:
 This was found to consist of a small amount of normal muscle, considerable epidremis in large pieces, numerous blood vessels and nerves and the salivary glands, ground to a paste. Quality poor, the material being largely scrap"
 Of another western potted ham, the re- port showed the presence of corn meal, which was declared an adulterant.
 An eastern potted ham Is described as follows:
 Appearance good, muscular fiber abun- dant contains neither epidermis, nor sali- vary glands Quality excellent"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-07-12

It was pointed out that the actual ex- cavation was much less of a problem than with what to do with the material when it was taken out. much of which had to be carried fifteen miles requiring the build- ing of over 300 miles of spur tracks.
 The question of obtaining sufficient la bor was shown to be a serious one, and it had been necessary to employ large numbers of natives and Chinamen, three of whom would do less than an average American workman.
 The estimated cost of the Panama route was placed at $1500O0,000, and the time of completion about seven years as against a cost of $500, 100000 and seventeen years for the completion of the work had the Nicaraguan route been chosen.

TRUSTEE IS REMOVED.
Lawyer Has Been In Charge of Mrs.
 Todd's Big Estate.

New York, July 11-Supreme Count Jus tice Truax, i'm decision handed down to- day, removed Ingersoll Lockwood as the trustee of a portion of the property of Mrs Margaret Todd, whose mangled body was found near the Reading tracks in Philadelphia last October. Mrs. Todd's will named her daughter, Mrs. Frank Tousey, as the principal legatee. Lock wood, who, for some years was Mrs Todd's lawyer. was named as a beneficiary for d small sum, and trustee of personal property to the amount of $97.000. Some time ago Mrs Tousey brought suit con testing the will for the object of remov- Ing Lockwood from the trusteeship. but the will was upheld and admitted to pro- bate. The present aotron was brought by Mrs. Tousey several weeks ago.
 In the decision given today Justice Tuax says that the fact that Mrs. Todd's att torney received such great benefits under the trust deed, will of itself cast sus- picion upon the legality of the trust deed and the will"

HOMES FOR NEGROES.
Unsuitable Quarters Responsible for
 Much of Races Vice.

Detroit, Mich. July u.-At today's ses- sion of the convention of the National Association for Colored women, Mrs. c. w. Posey of Pittsburg in a paper on juvenile courts, urged on the delegates that there was a great need for homes for colored children delinquent and friend less, many institutions of that char acter being closed to negro children at the present time.
 Mrs. C. H. Parrish of Louisville, Ky, said that the moral status of the colored women in her city was steadily improv- ing, but that the refusal of landlords to rent suitable houses in good localities to colored people was responsible in a large measure for much of the races vice and crime, they being compelled to herd to- gether in low localities.
 Mrs. Jackson of Colorado also spoke on the progress of the colored women of that state.

Nashville, Tenn, July 1.-The prohibi- tion state executive committee, of which James A Tate is chairman, held a meet ing here today. After the meeting it was announced that the prohibitonists will put no ticket in the field this year, but will probably enter the campaign two years hence.
 Chairman Tate said that there is no tendency or desire on the part of the prohibitionists to stand fin the way of the growing anti-hquor sentiment, so long as 1t continues to grow in the direction In which it is now tending. It is proposed he said, to allow each member of that party to do as he pleases, supporting the candidate or candidates whom he believes will carry out the principles of temperance If elected to office.

the Kansas City plant of the packing company.
 The defendants claimed that the charge was made against them by the packing company which had the right to levy il, because it owned the plant near the track. and therefore had the right to charge the railroad for trackage. Judge Landis in his instructions practically di- rected the jury to bring in verdict of guilty, and after it had been rendered the attorneys for the railroads and the in- dividual defendants asked until to day to show that the rebate was public and not a secret affair
 Today the attorneys for the railroad said that they had not been able to bring wit nesses into court to testify because they feared prosecution themselves.
