The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1906-01-07

The gossip Of the week in railroad and
financial circles centered on the resigna-
1ion of c. c. Glover as vice president
OF the Capital Traction railroad and his
probable reasons for such action. Every
body had an opinion and no two agreed.
1t was stated that his action was caused
by friction between the interests OF his
own road and that of the Old Dominion
and Great Falls. That he would in a
short time take over the presidency and
control OF the Washington Traction
railroad. That together with several
other large holders in Capital Traction
he had disposed Of his stock at a fancy
price TO Standard Oil interests who
would at once consolidate the two sys-
TENS and make him president of the
combined roads. That this step was but
preliminary TO his complete retirement
from business of all kinds, and so on
al finem. Mr.. Glover when seen simply
laughed at the Righteousness of the re-
ports and said his reasons had been
plainly given and there was no occasion
10 look further for his action. The step
had been in contemplation for some time
and was taken to relieve himself of a
part OF the responsibilities which he be-

place and he would welcome the relief
from the cares of the position. And
that, he repeated, is all there is TO it.
The publication of a dispatch that
new company would soon establish a
line of steamers on the Potomac tc. COM
pete for the business of the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company
has not created any great CONSERVATION
among the stockholders of the latter
company. The selling of a small lot
OF the stock and a few thousand of the
bonds, which at any other time would
pass unn lticed. as both brought good
prices. has been quoted as indicating a
feeling OF uncertainty and fear on the
part of the stockholders. AS an offer
was made TO pay very close to the sell
ing price for 50 shares of the stock by a
prominent officer OF the company i'm
mediately after the sale referred to, it
would appear that the coming of an
opposition line is not received very seri-
ously.
One of the stories along F street,
which is stated on the authority or a
director, is to tbs effect that purchasers
of Riggs Bank stock at this time can
look for a big advance within the next
three months. and while 1t is not stated
why it should be so, the advices given

a pront OF $4,000 on the capital Of

was expected. and II was accepted as
favorable sign. The difficulty arose
from the decrease in specie and some
increase in the loan item. AS a whole.
the statement was not significant. On
its appearance the market hesitated for

on and upward. closing al the best

CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful COM

him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to a druggist and got
a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show q
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about ninety
days ne was fully recovered, with the
exception of a rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER

UNCLE SAM BACK IN CUBA.

Intervention in Cuba has come.
Many have believed it inevitable from
the moment the United States with
drew its troops from the island and
gave the Cubans an opportunity to go
it alone If they could, but with the
right reserved to interfere at any time
when it became necessary to do so in
order to preserve the independence OF
the island and maintain a stable gov
eminent. Conditions now existing in
Cuba demand the strong arm of Uncle
Sam to regulate. A state OF civil war
prevails which threatens not only the
lives and welfare of the Cubans. but Of
the many Americans and other foreign
ers who are engaged or have large
capital invested in developing the in
dustries OF the island. Relying on the
guaranty made by the Platt amend
ment, such interests have grown to
great dimensions. 1t would be aban-
doning them to an undeserved fate to
refuse them the benefit of a firm and
just government, and protection
against the marauding bands of loot
ers that are roaming the interior coun-
try. So, acting under the authority
given by the peace treaty of 1898,
by direction OF President Roosevelt,
Secretary Taft, now at Havana, has
proclaimed himself provisional gov
ernor of Cuba, until such time as new
elections can be held and the United
States can feel assured that the pros
poets are good for Cuban govern.

over this bovine tuberculosis scare.
We have been unable to convince our
self that there Is the slightest connec-
ton between bovine and human tuber'
eulosis, or that it is possible to COM
municate the disease from animal TO
man by eating the products. The
weight OF testimony is against such a
conclusion, Perhaps ii COW is In the
last stages of the disease 1t might be
unhealthiul, and il certainly would be
unwhclesome, to eat her milk. There
is more danger here than elsewhere,
but we believe this can be obyiated by
proper tests and inspection OF sus-
pected milk, As to the meat, we do
not believe any harm results from par
taking OF it where the presence OF the
disease is not so marked as TO be no.
ticeable to the butcher at once. We
are forced to this conclusion from the
undoubted fact that very few slaugh-
tered cattle that have not been tested
are ever rejected Tor food that we eat
much Western beet that is never
tested and that no harmful results are
traceable to all this. OF course the
thought is quite disturbing-but then,
it's just as well that we don't know too
much about what we eat, if inclined to
squeamishness.
Vermont pays large sums to owners
of cattle condemned by the commits
sion. This is done in the interest OF
public health, At this stage, with the
present object lesson before us, and
with experts declaring that 70 per
cent OF animals so condemned are fit
for food, it is well to inquire If YER
mont is pursuing the right course.

THE CATTLE REPORT.

The report OF Attorney. General
Fits upon the matter OF the sale of
condemned beeves for food purposes,
accompanied by Gov. Bells statement,
and the governors action in removing
DR.. F. A. Rich from the state board
of cattle commissioners, is bound to
produce big sensation, not only in
Vermont, but particularly in Massa-
chusetts, where much of the meat has
been marketed. We publish the re-
port and statement in full on the OPP
posite page. With it is an interview
with Victor |. Spear, formerly secre-
tary Of the board, whom Mr.. Fits
report scores. Mr.. Spear gives the
view held by the commissioners.
Readers should peruse both and form
their own conclusions.
There is no wide variance as to the
facts. Cattle condemned under the
tuberculin test, for which the state
has paid the private owners eighty
per CEN OF their appraised value, have
been disposed of alive by the COM
missioners with full knowledge that
when the cattle were slaughtered
those that did not reveal the presence
of tuberculosis in the carcass to a
degree to cause their rejection under
government inspection, following gov
eminent regulations, would be sold
for food and eaten by unsuspectino
persons. This much is admitted by
the commission. They defend their
course on the ground that live cattle.
condemned under the tuberculin test.
are not necessarily condemned meat
when slaughtered, but that it requires
inspection of the carcasses to prove
whether they are sufficiently affected
as to injure them for food purposes.
They contend that animals which
readily respond to the tuberculin
test may, upon being killed, prove to
be relatively tree from disease. al
least so free from trouble that if the
same animals had been slaughtered
/ without being tested no butcher would
have thought of putting them in TO,
refuse purposes. They cite the United
States and Massachusetts authorities
as holding this same view and follow
ing this same practice.
Notwithstanding, it will come a.
something of shock to most people t.
learn that animals condemned, pait
for and killed by the state as unfit L
live are in any case fit to cut up anc
sell for good beef to innocent pur
chasers. There must be a screw loos,
in this theory somewhere. Either th,

II will strike some people as playing
beyond the limit of proper respect TOR
the dead for two historical societies,
engaged in controversy over the To-
cation OF the burial place OF a dead
soldier or sailor OF former war, to
invade the grave itself and expose the
remains in order to prove who was
right. Such grewsome thing was
done last week in Burlington. Not
only were the bones OF man killed in
battle examined for the purpose OF
Identification, but parts OF the cover
ing were taken to crafty the everlast-
ing American lust for souvenirs. If
no worthier object exists for the for
nation of self-styled patriotic societies
than grave breaking, we can get along
very we'll without them. A man who
does anything OF note runs the risk OF
being pried out of his coffin some day
in the future in order to settle a dis
pute as to where he lies buried. 1t
may interest readers to know just who
had part in this procedure, as well as
some of the incidents attending, so we

and DR.. C. II. Beecher, who examined
the bones found beneath the stone.
The bones discovered were buried in a
very deep grave. The laborers fall
tered before all of the bones were UNI
covered, but the patriotic ladies, who
were resolute in their determination to
settle the question of Barron's grave
for all coming time, insisted that the
search be continued until the whole
