SENATOR GORMAN
DIES SUDDENLY.
HEART TROUBLE GIVEN AS
CAUSE OF DEATH
Notable Figure In National Congress
Serves Continuously for Eighteen
Years--sketeh Of His
Life
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June A. Arthur
Pue German, United states senator
from Maryland died suddenly at his
residence in this city at 9:06 o'clock
this morning.
While Senator German had been Ill
for many months, he had shown some
improvement lately Heart trouble was
the immediate cause of death.
Senator German long had been a
notable figure in the national congress.
He first took his seat in 1881 and
served continuously for Is years, and
nearly all of that time he was the
leader of his party in the senate.
Winning early a reputation for sagac-
ity and the keenest judgment in con-
gressional affairs, he attained prom
inence not only as a leader in the SEN
ate but in the country at large, and
by many men was considered the most
available man in his party for the
presidency He was chairman of the
executive committee and managed the
campaign that resulted In the election
of Cleveland in 1884.
Defeats Election Bills
The most notable contest of his con-
gressional career and one which at
tracted to him wider attention than
anything else was when he led the
senate minority in 1S90-91 and de-
feated the federal elections bill
To his sagacious leadership and
adroit management his party friends
attributed the defeat of the measure
which was so obnoxious to the south.
When the Democrats had control of
the senate German was the recognized
leader of that body. It was at that
time that the tariff bill of 1894 was
passed, and although the Maryland
senator was not member of the fin
ance committee. he had so much to do
with shaping the measure that his
name is often given to it. and in fact
It is frequently called the Wilson-Gor-
man tariff.
1t was during Cleveland's last ad-
ministration that a break occurred be-
tween the Democratic president and
the leader of the party in the senate.
In a speech which always will be re-
membered by those who heard it, Sen
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-05
Speech Brlnas Defeat

ator German severely arraigned the
president
Speech Brings Defeat
To this opposition the defeat of
Senator German few years later was
attributed, although his party lost
Maryland in the silver campaigns. AS
soon as the Democrats regained con-
troll Of the state he was at once re-
elected to the senate.
1t was a tribute to his leadership
that as soon as he was again In the
senate he was made leader of the mi
nority, and although the seniority
rule is strictly enforced, Mr.. German
was given committee places that were
equal to those he had held after long
continuous service.
Senator German was vigorously OPP
posed to the acquisition Of the Philip
pines and fought the ratification of
the Paris treaty with all the force he
possessed.
Knowing that strong pressure was
being exerted on Democrats who were
standing with him. he urged an early
vote which friends of the treaty held
back until the necessary two-thirdS
of the senator's were secured.

Appropriation Is Inadequate

lowing to an inadequate appropria-
tion the department of agriculture is
not even able to place inspectors in all
establishments desiring them. The
present law prohibits the shipment OF
unlnspected meat to foreign countries,
but there is no provision forbidding
the shipment of uninspected meats in
interstate commerce, and thus the
avenues of interstate commerce are
left open to traffic in diseased or
spoiled meats.
IF, as has been alleged on seemingly
good authority, other evils exist, such
as the improper use of chemicals and
dyes, the government lacks power to
remedy them.
"a law is needed which will enable
the inspectors of the general govern
ment to inspect and supervise from the
hoof to the can the preparation of meat
food products. The evil seems to be
much less in the sale of dressed car
casses than in the sale of canned and
other prepared products.

How to Meet Expenses

I'm my judgment the expenses of the
inspection should be paid by a fee
levied on each animal slaughtered. If
this is not done an Insufficient ap-
propriation. and whenever there was
no particular interest in the subject,
it would not be only easy but natural
thus to make the appropriation insuffi-
cient. If it were not for this consid-
Grafton I should favor the government
paying for it.
"The alarm expressed in certain
quarters concerning this feature should
be allayed by a realization of the fact
that in no case, under such a law, will
the cost of inspection exceed 8 cents
per head.
II call special attention to the fact
that this report is preliminary and that
the investigation is still unfinished. 1t
is not yet possible to report on the
alleged abuses in the use of deleterious
chemical compounds in connection
with canning and preserving meat
products, nor on the alleged doctoring
in this fashion of tainted meat and of
products returned to the packers as
having grown unstable from age or
from other reasons.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-05
Legislation L Is Needed

Grave allegations are made in
reference to the abuses of this nature
Let me repeat that under the present
law there practically is no method of
stopping these abuses If they should
be discovered to exist. Legislation is
needed in order to prevent the possi-
bility of all abuses in the future.
"If no Legislation is passed, then the
excellent results accomplished by the
work of this special committee will en-
dure only so long as the memory of
the commissions work is fresh and re-
crudescence of the abuses is absolutely
certain.
Il urge the immediate enactment
into law of provisions which will en-
able the department of agriculture
adequately to inspect the meat and
meat food products entering into in
terstate commerce and to supervise the
methods of preparing the same. and
to prescribe the sanitary conditions
under which the work shall be per-
formed.
81 therefore commend to your fav-
orable consideration and urge the en-
actment of substantially the provisions
known as Senate Amendment No. 20
to the act making appropriations for
the department of agriculture for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1907, as
passed by the senate. this amendment
being commonly known as the Beve-
ridge amendment.

Filth Is Everywhere

The report says that two and one
half weeks We're spent in the inves-
tigation in Chicago, during which 1--WE
Went through the principal packing
houses in the stock yards district, to-
gether with few of the smaller ones"
A day was spent by Mr.. Reynolds in
New York city in the investigation of
its leading slaughter houses.
The report says that in many of the
rooms where water is used freely the
floors are soaked and Shiny and the
dark and dingy rooms are naturally
not kept suitably clean.
An absence of cleanliness was found
everywhere in the handling of meat
being prepared for the various meat
food products
The parts that are sent from the
cooling room to these departments,
where various forms of meat products
are prepared, are handled with no re-
gard whatever for cleanliness. The
workers climb over heaps of meat Sc
lect the pieces they wish and frequent
ly throw them down upon the dirty
floor beside their bench.
Shovel Meat From Floor
"In a word" the report adds 1--WE
saw meat shoVeled from filthy wooden
floors, piled on tables rarely washed,
pushed from room to room in rotten
box carts, IN all of which processes II
was in the way of gathering dirt,
splinters and floor filth.
Mt was always the reply that this
meat would afterward be cooked and
that this sterilization would prevent
any danger from It's use. A very con-
siderable portion of the meat so ham
died is sent out as smoked products
and IN the form of sausages, which
are prepared to be eaten without be-
ing cooked
"A particularly glaring instance OF
uncleanliness was found in room
where the best grade of sausages was
being prepared for export"
The report says that the radical
defect i'm .the inspection system is that
1t is confined at present by law to
passing on the healthfulness OF an
imals at the time of killing, but that
the meat that Is used in sausage and
the various forms Of canned products
and other prepared meat foods goes
