METHODS OPEN TO INSPECTION

Following the recent disclosures concern
ing the conditions in slaughter houses and
meat-packing establishments in Chicago, the
anxious attention of the people of this city
has been directed to every source of supply
for the local meat market Among the
places which thus became an object of pub
lie concern Is the plant of the Washington
and Virginia Stock Yard and Abattoir
Company, located near Arlington junction,
on the Virginia side of the Potomac, and
controlled by the firm of Golden & Co OF
this city. In common with other similar
concerns. this company has courted invest.-
CATION into the methods employees in the
Strengthening of animals and the prepara-
tion and care of meats. Since the newspa-

1t appeared that each division was under

explained that the FLASHER IS cleaned
daily and the trucks regularly washed
The floor is also washed as frequently In
the refining process the lard is mixed with
fuller's earth, by which the colorins mat
ter is separated. This is accomplished in
eight-ounce duck sacks, which washed,

off into tierces, tubs and tins.
In the cooper's shop the tubs are washed
thoroughly inside and out. MIR. Brown ex-
planned that wash of sodium silcate Is
placed on the interior OF the tubs to pre-
vent them from leaking and to give gloss
and finish. This. experience has shown,

william G. Carter first vice president of
the Golden company, when seen here later.
stated that the firm has perfected plans FOR
greatly increasing it's Strengthening and
packing facilities. The company. he claims,
is one of the first in Washington to furnish
meat to the people of this city without de-
pendence upon the trust. The designs OF
the company as formulated are to make the
business more thoroughly independent OF
outside supply and influence. He stated
that the company draws It's supplies OF I'VE
stock mainly from Virginia and Maryland.
Many of the hogs come from Kentucky.
According to his statements the exercise OF
care in the purchase of stock Is one OF the
means of safeguarding the public from the
dangers of diseased meat. Another ana
important method is to carefully inspect the
animals after they are slain.
The company expects to double the kill
ing capacity in the next year. 1t Is stated
that last year the firm did business to the
extent of 81 600, coo. The officers OF the COM

BADNESS AND VIRTUE.
Hairless Heads Are Seldom Found on
Criminals

simultaneously, from two independent sources,
comes striking testimony to the virtues Of the
hairless head It IS stated that:
ID There are no bald criminals
% There are no bald lunatics
Neither statement is laid down as absolute or
3nfallible but it is claimed that there are only
just sufficient exceptions to prove the rule.
The authority regarding the first statement Is
Mr. J. 7. Riley, magistrate of the Halifax
bench. who said in court that he had met with
only two bald Charges" in his twenty-three
years' experience.
With regard to the second statement the Rev
II N. Nield. Of Bradford quotes "a head Of
fcial' Of the Rainhil Asylum, who assured him
that he would never need the hospitality Of that
Institution, as he quite bald.
II was difficult to find authorities in London
who Fundamentally bore out these two theses
A gentleman who frequently visits Bethlehem
Hospital in an official capacity said to repre-
sentative Of The Daily Mail": MY impression
or the lunatics / meet there is that thew ara
usually a shaggy race
An experienced police inspector bore out to a.
great extent Mr.. Riley's statement about the
lack Of baldheaded criminals, but he advanced
q commonplace explanation
Criminals" he said, ARE notoriously a short
lived race admit have seen very few bald
headed men in this chargeroom but bv the

BILL OF PARTICULARS
PAPER FILED IN REPRESENTA-
TIVE HERMANN'S CASE.

A bill Of particulars in the case of Rep
resentative Binger Hermann Of Oregon,
charged with the destruction OF certain Of
ficial records in connection with the bust
ness of the general land Office. was filed to-
day In Criminal Court No. by United
States Attorney Baker The indictment al
leges that Representative Hermann, while

stroyed thirty-ive letter press books, con-
tanning certain official letters of the land
office.
After the filing of the governments an
swer Mr.. Baker moved that the case be set
for trial on it's merits Monday April o..
Attorney H. Prescott Galley of counsel for
the defense, informed the court that he was
not aware whether that date would be ac-
ceptable to the senior counsel for the de-
Tense. Attorney A. s. Worthington. Mr..
Galley, therefore, asked that the matter be
left undecided. which was done.
The following statement is made In the
answer OF tho United States attorney:
The letter-press books mentioned in the
indictment are books which were kept in
the Office OF the commissioner of the gem
eral land office. and none of them was kept
in any division of the office; and the books
were SO kept during the period of time
when Binger Hermann was commissioner
of the general land offlce-that is to say,
between the 25th day of March, 1897, and
the LIST day OF February, 1903, and con-
tanned letters written during that period of
time: the books and each of them con-
tanned. among other letters, large number
OF letters. which were written and signed
by Ringer Hermann, commissioner of the
general land office. and were sent to per-
sons residing in the state of Oregon con-
corning the business and affairs of the gen
eral land Office
