son Gives Facts About
Meat Industry.
ALLAYINL ALARM or PUBLIC
American Livestock, Healthiest in the
World; So viii Products Be-
Government System Win Do
Great Wonders.

WASHINGTON, July 2. - Secretary
Wilson, Of the Department of Agricul-
ture, has decided not to enter upon his
annual vacation until he has completed
the organization necessary to put into
operation the new meat-inspection law.
We win give practically his entire time
to this work for the next two months
The new pure food law also viii require
attention. but he intends to leave this
almost wholly to DR.. Fl. w. Wiley, Chief
Of the Bureau of Chemistry. BY direc-
tion of the President. Secretary Wilson
today issued the following statement;
American livestock are the healthiest
in the world. The great ranges Of the
West produce herds of cattle in which
the percentage of disease is remarkably
small, and the Federal Government Is
steadily reducing, by approved scientific
methods, this small percentage The in
spection Of the animals before and at the
time Of slaughter has always been thor
ough. It is true that the Department
of Agriculture has hitherto lacked the
power and to money to provide for an
efficient supervision Of the sanitation
and the methods of preparation Of can
ser meat food products.
THE legislation which has just become
effective provides the Department Of
Agriculture with an adequate law and
with ample money to carry it into
effect. Supervision and inspection will
be extended from the pasture to the
package. The federal stamp upon the
can win be a guarantee, not only of the
healthfulness of the animal, but also
that the product was prepared in sani-
tary surroundings, and with the addition
of no deleterious chemicals or preserva-
tives. Any meat food product bearing
the Government stamp will be fit for
food.
with this law in operation, it may
be accepted as a fact that for healthful-
ness and purity the prepared or canned
products win compare favorably with
the fresh meat of the United States,
which is and always has been the finest
in the world"

Mr.. Edwards when little more than
a boy, was assistant secretary of the

position attracted the attention of Mr.,
Shaw. He came to Washington as Sec
retary to Congressman Weaver, OF
Springfield, Ohio, and later was appoint

Pounds Her Six-Ysar. Daughter With
Board Filled With Nails.

Soetu Eiucu WIN Hasihs
CHICAGO. July IA special To the
Record Herald from Youngstown, O..
says:
The discovery Yesterday that 6-year-
old Elsie Anderson had died Of wounds
on her body, apparently the result Of q
beating with stick filed with nails,
was followed by the arrest Of her step
mother Jennie Anderson.
She was very nervous, and beyond adj
mitting that she had beaten the child
in the last three weeks, re-
fused to talk.
Physicians who examined the bc..y oi
the child declared that she had been
beaten TO death. The body presents a
horrible sight. From the top Of her head
to the solcS OF her feet there are not
four square inches not punctured with
what are believed TO be nail holes, oI
covered with ugly wounds. One Of the
child's shoulders was broken.
Neighbors say that for three weeks
the woman has kept the child hidden
from its father. When the father re-
turned to his home at night the little one
was shut up in the attic. Marks or
her arms indicate that she was tied
with ropes.

No Sentiment In Ohio.

just now the Taft boom is handi-
capped by the fact that there Is no
marked Taft sentiment In Ohio. What
little feeling there Ia on the subject
would seem TO come from the strict
Republican organization men. and TO be
hostile to Mr. Taft, They have neither
forgotten nor forgiven his speech at
Akron last fall IN which he attacked
the Cox machine In Cincinnati. That
speech, without doubt, resulted In the
defeat Of the Cincinnati republican ticket
and contributed In no small degree 10
the election Of democratic governor.
The fact that there !. no Taft sentiment
IN Ohio. however, does not mean that
in convention Ohio might not be en-.
Enthusiastically for Taft. Political senti.
mcnt Il a shifting thing. especially in
the matter Of presidential candidates
And Il il true that men have been
nominated for the presidency when
their own states were positively hostile
to them. Grover Cleveland Is an illus.
trio,e example.

Jerome Says Thaw VIII Hardly
Be Arrsisned Before
October.
he WALKS IN PRISON YARD
Prisoner Spends Nearly Whole Day In
Consultation With His Attorney
Planning His Defense--Psople
Are Very Curious.

NEW YORK, July 2.-That there is
no present prospect Of a speedy trial
for Harry Kendall Thaw was announced
today by District Attorney Jerome, ow.
ing 10 tts fart that during The summer
there arc only two parts to the court Of
general sessions now in session and the
trial win probably last two or three
weeks and the district attorney has de-
cided not to advance the Thaw case on
the calendar. Thaw win hardly be ar
raigned before October. The death to.
day Of Thaw's valet, William Bedford,
from an operation for appendicitis. has
removed an important witness from the
case.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
today gave out the substance Of the last
statement by Bedford. From him Gar
van learned that Thaw. was not addicted
to any drug. Bedford declared he had
not acted as go between for White
to get notes to Mrs. Thaw.
He had seen no notes, he alleged. The
Thaw's, h esaid, never qualreled. As to
the revolver he repeated his previous
statement that Thaw had carried the re-
volver for tree or four months, by stat.
ing that Thaw had carried the weapon
for two years.
In connection with the European trip
Of Thaw an Miss Nesbit, he said he
accompanied Thaw, and Thaw and Miss
Nesbit occupied adjoining and connect
ing rooms. The only marriage he had
heard of was one that took place In
Pittsburg. White, he said, never called
on Mrs. Thaw to his knowledge. Garvan
examined today P. l.. Bergoff private
detective, who says he was employed
with three assistants by White to guard
him and keep watch on the corps of
Of detectives employed by Thaw, Three
detectives employed by Thaw to watch
White for six months were also ex-
amined.
Judge olcott Of the counsel for Harry
X. Thaw, spent nearly the entiw after.
noon today at the prison in consulta-
tion with Thaw
Much time was spent in going over
letters received since his imprisonment.
His mail is increasing in size daily and
many Of the writer's declare their readi-
ness to disclose certain information con-
ccrning Thaw's victim which they think
may be Of use to the defense.
More than half hundred letters were
received by the prisoner today and fully
half Of these were deemed Of sufliciens
Importance to demand consideration by
his counsel, For the first time since his
imprisonment Thaw was permitted TO
exercise today. He was taken to the
Jail yard with about 40 other prisoners
and together they walked around the
elliptical track. After two laps, Thaw
dropped out and asked permission to
remain in corner. 1t is probable that
Thaw's request was not so much the
result Of fatigue as. from the fact that
the windows Of every skyscraper around
the prison were filled from the fourth
story up, with people armed with field
glasses watching the walking prisoners,
