Must Clean Slaughter Houses.

A meat slaughtering house near
Wellington inspected by order of the
state board of health has been found
to be in such filthy condition that DR..
J. S. Crumbine, secretary of the
board, has sent notices 10 the county
commissioners of every county in the
state directing them to examine the
slaughter houses IN their districts and
if not found to be IN Il sanitary con-
dition, to allow five days for cleaning
up as permitted by law. If the order
is not complied with in the time
specified arrest and prosecution may
follow. DR.. Crumbine said: Its
impossible for me to describe the
actual conditions as I found them.
No person who has not seen the place
can conceive the filthyness of it. It
was so bad that l can not see how
the place can be cleaned in five days
or so days. It's my opinion that the
burning of the house will be the only
means of eradicating the disease
germs. There may be other slaughter
houses in almost as bad condition
none can be as bad-and l hope by
sending notices to all county commits
sioners there may be a general clean
ing up" The order applies to some
of the big packing houses at Kansas
City whose plants are located on the

DOES SPAIN WANT zOB|k2
Continued from Page l.,

nance and which, if true. furnishes a
remarkable instance Of Spanish ven
geance which forgetteth not.
According to his old comrades. Zoria,
during the Spanish war, was
a petty officer aboard a Spanish gun
boat After the battle of Cavite he
deserted his ship and went over to the
Americans, acting as a spy in the
secret service department.
Twice within the next year an at
tempt was made on his life but he es-
capped scathless on both occasions. For
a time he resided in San Francisco and
about year ago Joined the Sherman
and made several voyages to the Phil
ippines. About the beginning of the
present year he was shot at one even
ing while walking along a street in
Manila.
On leaving Manila the last time two
Spaniards sought and obtained en-
ploynient in the stoke-hole. They be
came very chummy with Zoria and in
Honolulu all three went ashore to-
gether. Two of them returned to the
ship but Zoria was absent when the
vessel sailed for the Coast. In San
Francisco the two Spaniards were paid
off and nothing more was seen of
them.
Such is the story OF Zoria's COM
rades which, if true, opens up some
extraordinarily interesting questions
Why was the death of Zoria so
eagerly sought? Was it a matter of
personal vengeance or were the perpe-
traitors Of the outrage acting s agents
for the government of the land they
call their own? Will the logging of
Zoria now end or will the deadly track
ing be continued as soon as it is learn
ed by those most interested that death
waited not upon the broken man cast
into the lantana thicket from trail
soaring the face of a cloud kissed
mountain of the Pail range?

RECEIVED
BY QUEEN

name, headed the party.

had to wait about twenty-five minutes,
but it being visit to a Queen, it was
natural that we should be kept waiting.
The Queen received us with her coun-
cillors and ladies in waiting about her.
The only conversation we had was car
ried on through the interpreter. She
said to US in Hawaiian:
g wish to convey to the com
mander, the officers and the passengers
of the Sonoma my best compliments.
'Now,' said Father Lafferty to an
Advertiser man, ~ wish, through you,
to return my most sincere thanks to her
majesty for receiving me when she had
business of state to attend to. Do you
think it would be well to mark a copy
of your paper with this interview to be
sent to her?''
''She gets all the papers, said the
newspaper man.
Why, does she read English and
talk it2'' asked the priest in surprise.
He was rather taken aback at learn
ing that her command of the English
language was as good as his own.

This assertion is made I'm decision OF
Judge A. l.. Sanborn OF the United States

yesterday in the case OF Allis-Chalmers

1t is probably one OF the first opinions

says:

also unquestioned. and such unions are
generally regarded as beneficial institu-
tions in bettering the conditions OF labor
and the relations between employer and
