STUDENTS ROAST ROCKEFELLER.
College PIaywrights Produce Comic
Opera Which Shocks Censor.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Faculty
members at the University of
Chicago have always awaited with
mingled fear and wrath the pre-
sentation of the student comic
opera by the Blacktriars, the
university comic opera club. and
their extreme vigilance is often
necessary to prevent the student
"griddlers" from following their
bent in satirizing everything con
nccted with the university. This
years production has proved no
exception to the rule, for a sen
sation of the first quality was
sprung yesterday when the two
student playwrights, Harry Han
sen and Floyd Klein, presented a
stunt" for the chorus which in
volvcd clever roast" on John
d. Rockefeller and the great
oilers" ready giving to the Mid
way school.
Coach BARLEY Cushing. who
through training the tyro actors
at the Midway has become ac-
customed to acting as censor over
the student players, became sus.
picious as soon as he read the
title of the new song presented
by the authors for his consider
alton Its up to the Standard"
certainly looked dangerous.
SONG SHOCKS THE CENSOR.
The first few lines verified his
suspicious, for he read:
We've got great school at Chicago u;
It's certainly up to the standard.
The courses OF study that they put you
Are certainly up to the standard.
some standards are good n- results OF hard
The standard we set is the good STANDARD
Our dear Uncle John took It out OF the soil
We're certainly up to the Standard.
The chorus did not improve
tnings, Tor IL ran.
oh. STANDARD, oh, standard. no matter
Remember that they love you at the old
Chicago u.
The coach had already drawn
his blue pencil through the en-
tire song, but the second verse
would have decided the songs
fate if the first had not. 1t ran
like this:
when millions we need nt Chicago U.
It's certainly up to the Standard;
Ne call on John b. and say, Come throughi'
We're certainly on to the standard.
Some standards are high and some stand
The standard we set is the standard OF
dough;
Ne need new buildings, as all people know
It's certainly up to the standard.
TOO GOOD A THING TO KEEP.
An attempt was made to "hush"
up the song. but the attempt
failed because a copy of the lines
fell into the hands of one of the
players, who found it too good to
keep. Now all the members of
the craft have memorized the lines
and some of the authorities at the
Midway fear a coup on the part
of the students, who are said to
be planning to ring in" the song
impromptu when the play is pre-
sented May 10 and IL in Mandel
hall.

Fed Dead Horse to Pigs.

no little amusement has gone the
rounds of the city gossips over the
report that a certain butcher recently
fed a dead horse to his pigs. An
old family nag went to horse heaven,
from natural causes the Vet" said,
and this enterprising meat man saw
a fine free lunch for his porkers ard
went after it. He says, however,
that the horse was fed to his stock
pigs and not to those which he in
tended for butchering; and further
more, that clean horse meat would
hurt no pig. This must be so, be-
cause Frenchmen eat it, and the
meat shops of Paris offer it for sale,
subject to inspection as to what the
horse died of.

Burn Bad Sausage.

l.. Davies, state dairy and food
commissioner, stopped off in Wenat-
chee last week and ordered $4,000
worth Of beef in the form of sum-
mer sausage and dried beef Destroy
ed. The meat was found in the base
ment of one of the Wenatchee stores
and had been prepared from eighty
beeves refused by the Spokane meat
commissioner last February.
Mr.. Davies, speaking of the seizure
of the meat. is quoted as saying,
February l butcher in Wenat-
chez wrote to Will H. Adams, city
meat inspector in Spokane, that he
had so beeves on hand that he wish
ed to place on the Spokane markets.
At Mr.. Adams request half of the
beef was sent to him for inspection
and found to be unfit for food.
About ten days ago DR.. Frank
Culp, health officer in Wenatchee,
asked NE to come to Wenatchee, as
he was having trouble with some of
the meat dealers in the city. I went
to the city and found $4,000 worth
of beef stored in the cellar of one of
the general stores. The odor the meat
gave off was nauseating, and | i'm
mediately ordered it destroyed, al
though, to be on the safe side, | sent
a sample of it to Professor Fulmer to
be analyZed. When the returns are
received from the chemist | will burn
the seizure.
Il found on questioning the own
er, Joe Appel, that the sausage con-
demned was made from the so beeves
refused by Mr. Adams last winter. A
tank of scraps cut from the con-
demned meat was burned by my or

THE seizure is the largest ever
made by me, and I believe it is the
largest ever made by any other in
cumbent of my office. The greatest

mo, had nothing to do with it. p"
We'll, about Groves basement;
they say that you rented it for Appel
to store this bad sausage and dried
beef, how about that?''
Yes, | did rent it; | knew Mr..
Groves and went and helped Appel
find a place for his meat for this
reason: He had it hanging in the
same vault with my good meat at
the ice plant, and + didn't want it
there so close to mine; it was hang
ing on the rack right above my meat.
So | helped him find a place on the
outside for it"
ITO your knowledge, Mr. Harlin,
has any formaldehyde ever been
used by butchers in Wenatchee for
preserving their meats?"
Absolutely none that l know Of"
But Freezum has been used, has
it not?"
'Yes, they all used it. But the
Palace Meat Market quit using it
when Mr.. Adams, the inspector, said
it was not a good thing; we asked
him his opinion about it when he
came, and he said that an ordinance
in Spokane prohibited the use of it
there, but that there was no state
law against its use And of course
there's no law here in Wenatchee
against the use of Freezum, or we
would not have used it. We never
used it anyway on the carcasses of
either beef, mutton or pork; we simp-
ly used it in the preparation of Ham,
burger and pork sausage.
WAS there ever any bad meat
stored in the Wenatchee Cold Stor-
age concern that belonged 20 you,
Mr.. Harlin?''
mo, never, but at DR.. Culp's re-
quest | hung aside some pieces which
he said looked bad to him; later on
unese were trimmed, and l made
corned beef out of them. Mr.. Adams
inspected this corned beef afterwards
and said it was all right, but told me
to change the pickle on it. We
changed the pickle when he said to
do it..
Then you never received any of
these so steers that there has been
so much talk about, and you were
not interested. directly or indirectly,
with Joe Appel in his deal with Pat
terson for this meat?"
Not at all, in any way"

0RLA SULLIVAN IS
GRANTED A PAROLE
Monitor Man Sentenced to Three
Years for Forgery Is Liberated
by Governor.
Especial to the Daily World.D


OLYMPIA, May Ex-Governor
Mead yesterday pardoned Orlo Sulli-
van, sentenced at Wenatchee on Feb
ruary 26, last year, to three years
in the penitentiary for forgery. The
warden of the penitentiary, in rec
ommending Sullivan for pardon,
states that the pri Oner has behaved
himself most creditably since his in
generation, and had lately been en-
ployed as trusty about the prison.
Sullivan's trial will be remembered
by Wenatchee people.
He was convicted of having signed
his mothers name to check for a
small sum, which he successfully OBJ
tained from F. F. Fuller. After
passing the check he fed to the
Sound country, but was captured
there and brought back for trial.
A petition was circulated here
some months ago requesting the pa
role Of Sullivan, who has now served
more than year of his sentence.
1t was signed by the trial judge, the
prosecuting attorney. and many pro-
minent citizens Of ~ie community.
1t was alleged on behalf of Sullivan
that he was intoxicated at the time
ne committed the forgery, as he was
subject to occasional jags.
Sullivan is married, and his wife
and parents live at Monitor.

1t is reported that Appel paid
Fred Patterson one cent a pound
for the big stock OF meat which was
stored in the premises Of the Wenat-
chez Cold Storage Company, and
which is the basis of the present
trouble. There were 10000 pounds
of it. The ten tons burned by the
authorities today is all that remained
of it-about half.

HarIin's Side of 1t.

Charles Harlin, proprietor of the
Palace Meat Market on Wenatchee
Avenue, was seen this morning in
coRenction with the meat question,
and consented to an interview. Har-
lin is one of the Oldest and best
known meat dealers in town, and
when asked by the World repres-
entative if he had Eaen associated
with Joe Appel in the deal for Fred
Patterson's so carcasses of meat,
said most emphatically that he had
not.

ey, or go on his note, for the pur-
chase of this meat from Patterson,

Other People Kicked.

It is reported that at one time Ap-
pei had several barrels of meat frag-
ments stored near Harlin's slaughter
house These are supposed to have
been more trimmings from the
eighty carcasses purchased from Pat
terson, and once stored in the We
natchee Cold Storage premises. In
the fullness of time these Trimmings
became so loud that the neighbors
destroyed. These barrels of meat
were never intended for market pur-
poses, and grew loud simply through
neglect to destroy them.

A Mysterious Wagon.
On the morning that the inspectors
arrived in Wenatchee-and just
about two hours before their train
came-a wagon load of sausages,
hamburger and other meat stuffs,
was driven rapidly down Wenatchee
avenue towards the bridge Whence
it came and whittier it went is un-
known to the police. Though they
scrutinized the wagon tracks closely
there was nothing in them to deter

Appel to come across, which he did.

10 Tons OF Meat Burned.

Inspector Adams condemned ten
tons OF sausage and dried beef stored
in the basement of the T. j. Groves
company's grocery store. This mea!
was the property of Joe Appel of the
Veldome Cafe. In the persence of
the presence of officers and numer-
Gus sight-seers it was today taken
down on the bank of the Columbia
river, saturated with oil, and de-
stroyed by fire. There is more sau-
sage stored in that basement than
could be found in Tacoma, Seattle
Or Spokane all taken together" said
Mr.. Adams this morning.
Appel stated to a World represen-
tative that he believed he had a
right under the law to restrain the
officers from their destruction OF his
property by injunction, if he chose,
but had decided not to do so.
