Jersey City Stockyards Crusader
Meets Unpleasant Reception.

There exciting time in the Central Stock
yards at Jersey City yesterday. recent addition
TO the number of commission merchants IS Fred
erick Kratz He had installed only a few
days when he filed sensational complaints about
the unsanitary condition of the place and that
cattle were being affected by sewer and illumnat-
ing gases. The federal and the local health officers
were moved. and after inspecting the yards re-
ported that there no justification for the COM
plants.
kratz yesterday summoned his lawyer. Thomas
F. Bede, and standing at the door of his office in
the stockyards began reading a long typewriter
statement concerning the yards. 1t was not a
popular paper. and a shower of eggs In the sere
and yellow and lemons moved in his direction. His
lawyer, who kept busy lodging the missiles
advised Kratz to desist reading; in fact, had in
formed him II not judicous thing TO do be-
fore kratz began. But Kratz, who was in state
OF excitement. refused 10 accept the advice, and
his counsel retired from the case. and incidentally
from the shower of eggs, which finally forced
kratz TO retreat his office only reappear after
a lapse of few minutes and resume reading. But
the shower began with increased fury. and he
sought the secluson which his office affords. The
stockyards men believe that Kratz is more to be
pitied than censured.

wagon. but he had not even got his hands on
them before he was put to flight by the bees.
It's dead against rules to abandon any prop

TO get the boxes without the bees. Much 10 his
sorrow, but much more to his discomfort he
found he could have all the bees he wanted

He decided he would take neither bees nor boxes
the bees were left to cause sorrow and tribula-
ton to all who passed near them. Those were
not "on" thought summer had certainly come.
