M0fER SAID TO
HAVE DONE TIME
Continued from Page

I'VE always knew that Charles II. Moy-
er. president OF the Western Federation
of Miners. was the man who was sent
TO the penitentiary with my brother
Johnny. I don't remember him myself,
but he used to go with my sister. and
have often heard my folks speak of
him. After Meyer got out OF the peni-
Tertiary he used to write to mutual ac-
quaintance, Samuel Williams. and VIII
liams used to read the letters to us. One
time Sam came over with paper tell
ing how Charlie Meyer had been made
the head of the miners union
Mrs Heating. the mother of John keat-
ing, today accuses Meyer OF being the
cause of her sons downfall. She said:
Charlie Meyer left Chicago as soon as
he got out of the penitentiary. but for
long time he wrote to Sam Williams.
who lived next door TO US, and Williams
used to read US the letters. Williams
later went to Missouri and We have not
heard from him since.
The Journal also prints a story dated
Boone, Ia. which is substantially as fol-
lows:
Frank S. Meyer. chief of police of
Boone for years and now conductor
on street car line here. is a brother
of Charles Fl. Meyer. He said today to
a journal correspondent:
Il heard that Charles got into trouble
in Chicago once and was arrested. Prob
ably the less said about Il the better ]
know that Charley went to Chicago in
1884 or 1888 and wss gone about year
duu idt1 uiu nut near from MIN Qll-
ring that time. Later Charley went to
DeadwoOc ana then 10 Denver. I have
often heard Charley speak of Sam VIII
liams, but | never saw Williams my
self"
Work Of the pinkertons.
1t appears that the Pinkerton detective
agency, soon after the arrest Of Mr.. Moy-
er, became aware that a man named
Charles II. Meyer had been in the peTi-
Tertiary al Joliet Operatives were set
TO work to collect evidence as to the
identity Of the convict Charles H Moy-
er. for the purpose OF using II at the
trial of the president OF the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners IN a certain contin-
gency. No evidence upon the subject car
be introduced unless an attempt is made
to show good character IL this be done
at the trial of Meyer, witnesses will be
on hand to show that the president of
the Western Federation of Miners is the
Meyer who served a term in Joliet peni-
Tertiary for burglary. If Meyer was at
work in the Black Hills in 1856. and can
produce proof to show this fact, the Jury
will have before them the question of
the Dreponderance OF evidence

After saeeharine First.

Commissioner Peterson had a small box
of the saccharine with him yesterday
and his caller was allowed closely to eX-
anime the under side of the cover of the
box. Apparently it was perfectly clean
and free from any dust. With the end
of a finger dampened, however, ano
rubbed across the cover and touched to
the tongue, a sweet taste was exper-
fenced so strong as TO be very sickening.
1t IS asserted that the use of this drug
in canned goods now in the state and IN
goods constantly being shipped in CEN
stitutes probably the greatest impure
food evil existing in Utah today. and inn
mediately upon the new laws taking eff
feet Commissioner Peterson will direct
his efforts first towards condemning all
food products now in the state showing
evidences of the use of this preparation.

Blue vitriol in Peas.

Commissioner Peterson has never been
able legally to enter the kitchens of tbs,
restaurants and hotels of the state, to in
spect the food they serve, to say nothing
of inspecting the men employed In such
places for cases OF tuberculosis or other
communicable disease After next Tues-
day he may do this, as well as enter and
inspect Ice cream. factories bakeries,

Yesterday. at his office Commissioner
Peterson displayed a can of French peas
which he had just put through chemical
test A test tube near by was exactly
half full of blue vitriol, which had been
extracted from the can. This is the con-
dition Of a great portion of the canned
goods now on the shelves of the lier-

Liquors Must Be Pure.

Another provision in the new laws that
will interest salt Lakers and residents of
the state at large is the one making 1t
unlawful for any saloon keeper or liquor
dealer in the state to handle. sell or ex-
pose or offer for sale any liquor contain
ing impurities. In the list of impurities
named in the law is alcohol.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-05-11


named in the law is alcohol.
''one-haIf. to two-thirds Of the
liquor sold fer whisky in the saloons
of Salt Lake today is nothing but al
cohoi diluted with water and col
ored,'' was the startling statement
made by Commissioners Peterson yes
terday afternoon.
The commissioner was engaged during
the past week in going from one saloon
to another in Salt Lake. taking samples
of the whisky handled. 81 visited nearly
Of the smaller ones. find that the
liquor sold to the general run of cts
toners as whisky is alcohol diluted with
water and colored," he declared. More
than that. ] find that the whisky local
saloon men display and sell in fancy bot
ties as high..quality whisky is in reality
very poor whisky. that has been bought
cheap and is re-bottled.
Commissioner Peterson declared that
the bar of one of the most prominent no.
tells in the city was one of the worst Of
tenders in this way.
81 didn't touch the beer or wine
handled by the Saloons" continued
the commissioner. THAT will come
later. Under the new laws the sa-
loon men who handle the impure
whisky are liable to arrest and trial
and their liquor is subject to eonfis-
cation and spoliation."

Another matter that was considered
by the trustees was the adyisabllity OF
establishing AN electric plant at the

building. The lighting bill at the
home at present Is no small item. an
amount that could be reduced, II is be.
lieyed by the installation OF an cleo.
