MAYOR IN MIRE OF MYSTERY
Colonel DahIman Gets Dose of Mathc-
MATES I'm Rival Scales In
vestiRntion.

The contest OF rival scale manufacturers
at the city hall before Mayor Dahlman has
developed into a purely mathematical prob
lem Of completely and proportions.
The mayor is hearing more about frac-
lions and the law of averages than It has
been his fortune TO have thrust upon him
during his entire previous career. Every
demonstration and speech seeing to more
thoroughly confuse the issue, but the execu-
tive is bravely permitting the hearing to
go forward and devoting all his working
time TO the passionate charges, counter
charges and disavowals OF the scale men.
Manager Theobold of the Toledo Com
putting Scale company finished five-hour
attack on the Dayton scale late Thursday
afternoon and Manager Ray Immediately
took up the defense, continuing II Saturday
morning He declared that his scale simply
computed the fractions Of cents, that
the dealer got the benefit of everything
from half a cent upwards and the buyer
everything below half a cent. He asserted
this was commercially correct" and then
followed the same plan as the dealer in
variably adopts when using the old balance
scales. He made a number of demonstra-
lions TO back up his contentious and sub
mitted huge chart of computed fractions
for the guidance OF the mayor.
Manager Theobold declared the attacks
made on the Toledo scale were unjust and
that any criticisms that might be made APP
piled to scales no longer made or sold. and
which only by certain interpretations could
have any shadow of Objectionable features.
Efforts of the Dayton people to put the
Toledo scale on trial alongside their own
were overruled by the mayor
There is no charge that the Dayton scale
the attacks relate solely to the manner Of
computing the costs.

Packing House Managers Make a Lot
of New Rules

Chicago, June 5.-The Tribune to-
day says
One of the immediate effects of the
presidents disclosure of packing
house conditions was seen in an at
tempt in at least three of the big
plants yesterday to remedy the condi-
lions condemned in the report. Toilet
arrangements were renovated, floors
cleaned. walls scraped, and light and
ventilation improved.
The surroundings of the workers in
these three plants were improved so
per cent in one day. The general
manager of one big plant spent the
morning in a down town plumbing
establishment picking out the latest
sanitary plumbing.
Besides renovating the plumbing
the packing companies put up a
variety of signs all over the plants en-
joining cleanliness. The forernen were
told that the rule against expectorat-
ing must be enforced or discharge
would result.
Another new rule posted con-
spicuously was that forbidding the use
of tobacco in all of the departments.

Free Alcohol Bill Subject Of
Grave Doubt.
Probably Fail to Give Cheap
Power Expected.
NOT A NEW MEASURE.
Had Been Before Congress on
Several Occasions.
Items Of Interest to Kansans
From Nations Capital.

Washington. June 5.-The impression
has gained ground that the free alcohol
bill. which viii shortly become a law
and in which Representative Victor
Eurdock has taken such an active IN
terest. is an entirely new proposition,
AS a matter of fact, it is one that has
been discussed years ago, and there IS
nothing new about It, save its enact
ment finally. into law.
In explaining the bill to the senate
the day it was passed by that body,
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, chair
man of the committee on finance, which
reported the bill, made this state
ment:
1.-THE bill which was prepared by the
senator from Iowa, Mr.. Allison, and
myself some years ago was made to
apply to all industrial purposes. ineluo-
ing medicinal purposes. That bill would
have applied to the manufacture OF
sulphuricheter. I think it is very i'm
portant in this country that sulphuric
acid ether should be much cheaper than
it is now. but this bill, as now framed
does not give free alcohol to the sui
phuric acid manufactured"
So it will be seen that not only IS
this bill not new, but that its proto-
type. was. in the judgment of its max
ers. a better bill in that it went even
further than the present one.
1t is extremely doubtful if the pres
ent measure. important as it is, will not
be "a disappointment to its trainers Mr..
Murdoch and other friends of this
measure, which was introduced by Mr..
Payne, chairman Of the house commit
tee on ways and means, have been
most enthusiastic concerning its posi-
bilities. The bill will probably do much,
and there will be a great quantity of al
cohOl produced, but there is the donht
as to whether the price viii be suff1-
GENTLY lowered as to bring the alcohol
within the means of people who wish
to make general use of it. whether for
light. fuel or motive power, such as
use in automobiles instead of gasoline
Senator Teller of Colorado, a leading
Democratic member of the senate com
mittee on finance which had this bill
under consideration, said. in response to
q question. during the debate:
Mr. President. I believe when this
bill becomes a. law and goes into effect
those who expect to use this character
of alcohol for power Will be disap-
pointed. and that is the only use it is
expected to be put in my section of the
country. A great many of my people
think they viii be able to use it for a
cheap power to lift water for irrigating
purposes and for all sorts Of farm use,
and I presume the same is the case in
other sections of the country; but I
Will venture to say that when this pow
er Is brought into competition with
some other power, alcohol cannot com
