Comment by the President

I urge the immediate enactment into
law of provisions which will enable the
Department of Agriculture adequately to
inspect the meat and meat-food products
entering into interstate commerce, and
to supervise the methods of preparing the
same, and to prescribe the sanitary condi-
tons under which the work shall be per-
formed l urge the enactment of the
Beyeridge amendment.
The conditions shown by even this
short inspection to exist in the Chicago
stock yards are revolving. 1t is impera-
lively necessary in the interests of de-
ceucy that they should be radically chang
ed. Under the existing law it is wholly
impossible to secure satisfactory results.
The report shows that the stock yards
and packing houses are not kept even
reasonably clean and that the method OF
handling and preparing food products 10
uncleanly and dangerous to health.
If inspection of meat food products at
all stages of preparation is not secured
by the passage of legislation recommend
ed, | shall feel compelled to order that
inspection labels and certificates on can
ned products shall not be used hereaftr.
In my Judgment the expense of the
inspection should be paid by fee levied
on each animal slaughtered. If this is
not done the whole purpose OF the law
can be defeated at any time through an
insufficient appropriation.

1t so happened that a man from Scw
Orleans recently found himself in a FAR
northern city where the alleged coffee
closely resembled warm spring water
How much | should enjoy, he re-
,marked to his vls-a-vis after the des-
sert at dinner, "a good cup OF cafe
noir.'
The attentive waiter, letting slip no
opportunity to uphold the honor Of his
city, remarked:
"'Noir' means black, doesn't 1t, sir?
Well, we can give it to you black IL
you wish IT,"
"Ah, but my friend" replied the
traveller from New Orleans. you for
get that cafe means coffee."-New

A week before commencement
Jones, senior, who was weary OF
clearinghouse fare, was happily en-
gagged in DOMINIC his dinner clothes.
A smile of delighted anticipation
played upon his features when Rob

cheerily. What's upY
"oh, pothing up" said Robbins: "PY

Points in tho Neill Report.

"Pottesi ham" Is made with the help OF
meat scraps unfit to be eaten,' bits of
rope and other rubbish.
There are no restrooms and women are
stationed In the Mushrooms to prevent the
girls from resting there.
There are no lavatories or sinks where
employees may wish their hands before
pl,.nging them into meat products.
Even the ordinary decencies of life are
ignored in the sanitary arrangements
made for the men and women employees.
The phraseology of the labels alleging
government inspection is wholly unwar-
ranted and tends to deceive the purchaser.
Canned meats moldy with age are 'liv-
ened up" by being heated, relabeled and
placed on the market.
Girls of 16 stand ten hours day, al
though their work could be done just
as well if they were permitted to sit
down.
Workers climb over heaps of meat with
their dirty shoes and cut up sides of beef
holding them against "indescribably filthy
aprons"
Piles of sausages and moldy canned
meats, supposed to be tanked, may at OPP
ton of the superintendent be turned into
sausage, after being treated with chemi-
calls.
Girls and women are forced 10 work in
room at temperature Of 3S degrees,
with water-coyered floor and leaky
ceiling, although all these conditions APP
parently are unnecessary.

RAILROAD TO TAP BOLIVIA.
Chill 10 About to Build a Line 2.6o5
Miles Long.

Miles Long.
Consul Mansfield, Valparaiso, Chilli,
announces that the government of that
country proposes to construct a rail-
way through the provinces of Tocna
and africa into Bolivia. The latter
country is provided with poor facili-
ties for getting about and the impress
sion is strong that If Chili's plans of
constructing some 1905 miles of road
arc carried out great commercial
revolution will be effected. Regard
ing the present conditions, Mr.. Mans
field speaks as follows:
Matchmaking in Bolivia, owing to
the peculiar configuration of the coun-
try, has many difficulties. The most
important roads have a total length of
2,297 kilometers Q,426 miles,. In the
loftiest parts of the Andes the high
ways are little more than goat paths,
which have been cut by Indians for
the traffic Of their beasts Of burden.
Along these mountain paths droves of
mules, donkeys and llamas are con-
tinually going and coming, carrying
from the interior tropical fruits, cocoa,
yungas, coffee, etc, and taking back
from La Paz and other towns along
the routes -four, groceries. alcohol, etc.
The internal trade carried on in this
manner will be largely increased once
the country is tapped with railways.

on each animal slaughtered. If this is
can at any time be defeated through an in
sufficient appropriation, and whenever
there was no particular interest in the
subject it would be not only easy but
natural thus to make the appropriation
insufficient. If it were not for this con-
sderation l should favor the government
paving for the inspection.
The alarm expressed in certain quar-
;erS concerning this feature should be al
layed by IA realization of the fact that
in no case under such law will the cost
OF inspection exceed cents per head.
| 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 COM
pounds in connection with canning and
preserving meat products. nor on the al
legged doctoring in this fashion of faint
ed meat and of products returned to the
packers as having grown unstable or
unusable from age or from other reasons.
Grave allegations are made in reference
to abuses OF this nature.
Law Needed to stop Abuse.
Let me repeat that under the present
law there is practically no method OF
stopping these abuses if they should be
discovered to exist. Legislation is need
ed in order to prevent the possibility of
all abuses in the future. If no legisla-
tion is passed then the excellent results
accomplished by the work of this special
committee will endure only so long as the
memory of the committees work is fresh
and recrudescence of the abuses is abb
solutely certain.
l urge the immediate enactment into
law Of provisions which will enable the
Department of Agriculture adequately to
inspect the meat and meat-food products
entering into interstate commerce and to
supervise the methods of preparing the
same and to prescribe the sanitary condi-
tons under which the work shall be per-
formed / therefore commend to your ia
vorable consideration and urge the enact
ment 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 COM
monty known as the Beveridge amend

Attorney TrimbIe Urges New Trial for Italian

of Anna Valentino, the Italian woman
under sentence Of death in Bergen couu-

"a on March 30, 1904
Claims for a new trial were based on
points OF constitutional law. statutory
Interpretation, and her rights under the
American-Italian treaty. It was first ar
gued by Mr. Trlmhle that the con-
demned woman. through a misconcep-
ton Of her rights by the counsel ap-
pointed for her defense by the trial
judge, had not been actually tried. but
had undergone an extraordinary pro-
ceeding merely TO determine the de-
gree Of murder OF which she was
guilty.

claims that the extraordinary proceed

Another constitutional error alleged
was that Mrs. Valentino, not under

privilege Of facing her accusers and
hearing their evidence The testimony
was given in English and no attempt
was made to translate what the wit
nesses said to the defendant.
