FILTHY KILLING PLANTFOUND
One Slaughter House in Kansas So
Vile It Can Only Be Cleansed
by Being Burned.

Topeka, KAMA 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.. ]. S. Crumb1ne,
secretary of the board, has sent no.
tees to 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 sanitary condition, to
allow five days for cleaning up, as per.
mitted by law. If the order is not
complied with in the time specified
arrest and prosecution may follow.
Its impossible for me to describe
the actual conditions as found
them" said DR.. Crumbine. mo per-
son who hasn't seen the place can
conceive the filthiness of it. 1t was
so bad that l cannot 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 slaugh-
ter houses in almost as bad condi'
ton, none can be as bad, and l hope
by sending notices to ali county COM
missioners there may be general
cleaning up."

which is our article of principal export
to the Pacific. Years ago Russia leased
from China a certain ample territory
in Manchuria, now tapped by the Rus

some of the best wheat land in the

quickly perceived the wheat possible
ties of this region and had begun to
get It into order and to establish mills
and warehouses when the war came
on. The silent little brown men, the
nation Of imitators,' crumpled up the
great Russian power like so much

their victory was the southern half OF

that ran through it.

SAYS ICE TRUST EXISTS
MOVE MADE AGAINST ALLEGED
ST. LOUIS COMBINE.
Heavy Fine and Revocation of Charter
Is Demanded by Circuit At
torney Sager.

st. Louis.--After an investigation
OF three weeks. Circuit Attorney
Sager Tuesday fled suits in the cir.
cult court against the Polar Wave
Ice and Fuel company and the Mer.
chants Ice and Coal company on the
allegation that these companies were
in an alleged combination to restrain
trade and to fix and maintain the
price OF ice.
The suit asks that judgment for
81, 400 be assessed against each COM
pany as fines for the TIA days that the
alleged agreement has been in effect,
and it further asks that the charters
under which they have been doing
business be declared null and void.
The charges are based on sections
1865, $3.50 and 1858 of the Revised
Statutes of the state of Missouri.
The sections upon which the prose-
cutions are based provide that any as
ISOLATION of individuals or company
which shall combine to regulate or
fix the price of any article shall be

fraud and may be fined from S. to
500 for every day such association
continues to do so.
The petition states that the Polar
Wave company was organized Febru-
airy 13, 1908, and the Merchants on
February /. 1897.
Investigation into the ice situation
in St. Louis was practically begun
early in the spring, soon after an in
crease in the price of ice to house
holders was announced Of from
80 cents hundred pounds to 40
cents, an arbitrary raise of 1914 per
cent. Circuit Attorney Sager sent as
sistants to Toledo, o., to watch the
progress of the legal contest between
the authorities there against an al
legged combination Of ice dealers.
Three weeks ago Circuit Attorney
Sager, his assistant, George N. Flick
eissen and the grand jury began an
investigation of witnesses and the FL
ing of the suits resulted. The petition
alleges that the Polar Wave and Mer-
chants companies ION or about the
first day of August. 1904, entered into
an unlawful agreement, combination
and understanding with each other
and with other persons, firms and cor
porations whose names at this time
are to the informant unknown, to
jointly fix the prices to be charged by
each of them for ice at wholesale and
retail in st. Louis and to jointly main
tain the prices for ice at wholesale
and retail in violation of the laws of
the state of Missouri"
