CONSIDER BALLOT EXPENSE
Demand Made That in Return CuIlo.n
Men Name Delegates from
County.

At the meeting of the republican can
didates in tbe county court room at the
court house yesterday afternoon to
consider ways and means of providing
for the official delegate ballots. a side
incident occurred that placed the Cul
lom faction in the party at something
of a disadvantage in Rock Island coun-
ty This developed 1T the suggestion
of John w Parker, erstwhile Yates
leader, eX-president of the Illinois
League of Republican clubs. at one
time chief clerk at the Western Hos
pital for the Insane, who offered as the
representative of the Cullom commit
tee in Rock Island county to solve the
question OF expense of the ballots. The
plan that Mr. Parker presented was u
simply see that the ballots were print
ed-with the understanding. of course
that his committee was TO pick the
state. congressional and senatorial del
egates from this county.
Candidates Willing.
Mr.. Parker said he had explained his
proposition to several of the candidates
and had met with favor. but the offer
in behalf of Senator Cullom on the face
of it seemed merely a plan TO secure
Cullom delegations to the state sena-
torial and congressional conventions
Ii is explained in behalf of Mr.. Parker
that the proposition was made in good
faith as Senator Cullom's lieutenants
will endeavor TO get the senator's name
on every ticket. whether selected by q
caucus or by an individual candidate.
Refuse To BE PacifeL.
The candidates became indignant
though. and some could not be paciffed

SALOON BAR
The Asahi Entertained
Company Last
Sunday.

On Sunday morning at o'clock the
Asahi saloon was doing business as if
it had been any other day of the week.
The Asahi is one of the notorious
Palama dive cafe-saloons and the atten-
ton of the police has frequently been
called to the violation of the liquor law
by its proprietor.
Early on Sunday morning no less than
fifteen drunken Hawaiians were count
ed laid out on the floors of the saloon
and it's alleged cafe annex.
The front door of the place was
closed but entrance was easily obtained
in the rear.
Eugene Devauchelle and John Ilae
dropped into the Asahi on Sunday
morning and We're served without hest
tation at the saloon bar to beer and
gin, by the bartender.
They fingered in the place while
and presently Police Officer David ka-
ahanui accompanied by Mrs. Holoua
and Mrs. Alani entered.
The police officer and the ladies went
right up to the bar and called for
whisky and gin which were promptly
served.
A similar state of affairs prevailed
at intervals throughout the day.

REPORT OF EXPERT ACCOUNTANT.

In relation 20 the accounts OF the cat
tie commission, | am unable as yet %
make any definite report.
II can say. that from the books and pa
pers In Mr.. Terril's possession. II is posi-
Bile TO ascertain the proceeds OF but few
OF the herds condemned and sold for the
account OF the State. There are no state
ments OF any kind at Mr. Terrins house
relative 10 any of the animals disposed u
to the Burlington Rendering company
with the exception OF one lot In August.
1905, This lot was rendered and not used
for meat
Most Of the herds disposed OF through
Mr.. Kicker OF ST. Johnsbury can be traced
and the disposition ascertained. The state
ments Of the New England Dressed Meat
q Wool company rendered TO Savage &
Hubbard OF Windsor for the herds
handled by that firm are in Mr.. TerriIrs
possession, but there is no information ac-
companying them. which would enable
anyone to ascertain what particular ami
mails or herds were covered by the state
ment. can see no way 10 prove definite
ly, whether the State has received the en-
tire proceeds Of the sales. but by an ex-
animation of the books OF the drovers and
the rendering plant Mr.. Terrlll has sim
ply a list of the checks received: he Is
unable TO throw any light upon what
herds or animals were covered by the
checks. excepting in a few recent in
stances. The test book in which a record
is kept Of animals tested whether con-
demned or not, has not been written up
since the first days of August. The cash
book which is simply a list Of checks re-
ceived Is written up TO date.
prior to Mr.. Terrlll's incumbency there
seem to have beeen no papers of any kind
preserved. at least there were none turn ed
over to Mr.. Terrill. The commissioners do
not seem to have considered, that there
was an connection between the condem-
nation and payment OF Indemnity for ami
mails killed and the disposition of such
animals.
In justice to Mr.. Terrill, / think It
should be said. that the amount of clerical
work which the secretary of the commits
sion is obliged to perform is very large:
large enough in my opinion to justify the
employment of salaried clerk and stem
ographer.

ACCOUNTS SHOULD BE EXAMINED

l suggest that it would be well to en-
ploy at once an expert accountant to go
over the accounts of the cattle commits
sioners and investigate and audit all the
items of their transactiocs in the con-
demnation and disposition of cattle. 1t
can be done much better now than later
and will clear up all question as to the
detail of each transacticu, so far as the
same can be disclosed by the papers in
the hands of the State commission, and
from the books of the drovers and COM
panies TO whom the cattle had been con-
signed.
The manager of the Rendering COM
pany testifies that the books. accounts
and memoranda of his company, cover
ing the deal with the State and the cat
tie commissioners previous TO July
last are at the home office of the com
pany at Boston, Mass. Demand has beeu
| made for their production. That mat
ter is with the grand jury. and will be
dealt with as best it can under the law.
Section 5973, V, s., provides that "a
person who knowingly sells diseased, cor
| rupted or utIwholesome provisions for
| food or drink, shall lie Imprisoned not
more than six months or fined not more
than $4,000" Subsequent to the adoption
| of the Vermont Statutes there was pass
ed Act No, IS of 1902 as before stated,
Section 6 of which reads as follows:
If any person shall sell or offer TO sell
| any cattle or other domestic animals
| known by him to be infected with bovine
tuberculosis, or any other contagious dis
ease or any disease dangerous to public
health, or snail sell or offer to sell any
| part or parts of such cattle or other
domestic animals, except their skies, he
/ shall be fined not more than $4,000 or
be imprisoned not more than one year,
| or both"
PENAL SECTION LIMITED.
The above penal section was not chang
ed by the amendments of 1904, so 1t is in
| force to-day. But section of the same
Act, No. IS, of 1902, provides. "All prose
cutions for violation of the provisions
of this act shall be commenced within
six months from the commission thereof
and not AFTER, And Section 10 of the
same act repeats all acts ard parts of
| acts inconsistent with it, which leaves 1t
| a bit doubtful as to just what could be
| done in the way of prosecuting for SELL
ing diseased meat for any offence which
occurred more than six months ago.
| / suggest to Your Excellency that
among other amendments obviously
necessary to the law, is one repeating
the six months limitation on prosecu-
tons under this act. There would seem
to be no reason why the crime of sell
ling diseased meat should not be treated

possible 20 tell by these records which of
the animals taken to the Rendering eom-
psny have been put into the fertilizer
and which used for food purposes.
II Is not possible from any evidence
so far produced to show that ans OF the

been sold or used for food purposes and
the presumption must be, of course, that
the management OF the Rendering com
pany have dealt honestly with the State.
and have destroyed all carcasses found
TO be diseased, nut the fact remars that
the only protection which the State has
in the way business is conducted between
the cattle commission and the Render
ing company. is the integrity OF the
managers OF the Rendering company. For
there are no records kept and no SUPER
vision exercised oy the cattle commission
which is OF any value in determining II
the law has been obeyed. II Is appar-
ent from all that has developed that the
tuberculin test Is by 10 means sure, and
that very many cattle have been con-
demned under It. which have afterwards
passed the United States government in
specton and the post norton irspee-
ton OF the State commission and been
used for food purposes.
NO ITEMIzEp ACCOUNTS.
The accounts kept by the secretary of
the cattle commission. both the former
encumbent Of that office. Mr.. Spear. and
the present secretary, Mr.. Terrll. do not
undertake TO itemlze the receipts for con-
demned cattle disposed OF. The only ac-
count kept is the gross amount OF each
check received. and from whom recelv-
ed, so Il Is Impossible To say how much
the State secured from any one animal
or herd OF animals condemned, and IL
would not be possible, WITHOUT exhaust
i've examination by an expert account
ant TO determine whether all receipts
have been properly accounted for Ii is
To be presumed. of course that the State
officers have dealt honestly. but the only
reliance the State has. is upon the in
tegrity OF the officers. for there are no
books or accounts from which Il can be
determined. The check for the net
amount is turned over by the drover,
or from the Rendering company, In the
manner above set forth, TO the commits.
sioner in charge OF the particular cattle
in question. and by the commissioner
turned over to the secretary OF the COM
mission, who forwards the check to the
