Packing Houses-No "Tainted Meat"

New York, May 31.-Dr. Thomas
Darlington, president of the depart
ment of health began Thursday a per
sonal and thorough investigation into
packing house conditions in this city.
From the reports which have reach
ed me from my inspectors" he said,
'the situation is not as bad as has
been supposed, and nothing like the
situation reported in the Chicago in
dustries.
Everything is not as it should be,
however, that may not be controvert-
ed. With even the small force of
inspectors at the command of the de-
partment-we have but six men-meat
is constantly being thrown out recent
ly, and it goes without saying that a
force of half dozen inspectors is en-
tirely inadequate. 1t does not neces-
sarily mean that new inspectors will
be detailed to meat inspection, for
these is less watching demanded in
the packing houses at some periods
of the year, than there is at other
places. Just now we need large
force as 1t is the bob veal season.
Il do not know just how long it
will take me to continue my investiga-
ton of the packing houses here. l
will not stop until 1 have gone into
every detail of the business"

THE
SUBJECT Of
SERMONS
Two Chicago Preachers Find
Inspiration in Cham
pionship Games.
By Associated Press.

Chicago. ILL.,, Oct. 1.-two pastors
used the championship baseball series
as a topic for pulpit disclosure last
Sunday. Both agreed that the game
is the cleanest Of all sports, but they
deplore the fact that gambling was
permitted on the grounds and that
one Of the contests was played on
Sunday. They appealed to The man
ayers to take a stand against these
two evils n future.
Rev. Johnston Myers preached on
"A Home Run" at Emmanuel Baptist
church and declared, among other
things, that ''if the same spirit which
sets men wild at such baseball games
as have been witnessed the last week
in Chicago were manifested in the
church. there would not be a specific
left in Chicago"
winning the PennanJ' was the
subject chosen by Rev. John Roach
Stratton. pastor of the Second Bap-
fist church.
Baseball is the greatest, grandest
and noblest of all sports" he said.
There are but two strong criticisms
that the best element of community
ought to make on the game. First,
the amount Of gambling attendant on
the big LEAGUE games. The second
criticism is the almost general custom
of PLAYING the game on the Sabbath" "
