Thinks He Has Next Best Baseman to
Big Larry.

Worcester, Mass, Jan. 30.-Connie
Mack, manager of the Philadelphia
American league team, arrived in
Worcester today to visit his brother
Tom, manager of the Franklin hotel,
and incidentally gave out that he cor
raled in his opinion the greatest sec
ond baseman in the game today, with
the exception of Lajoie, for his team.
81 came into New England only to
gather in Dan Murphy, of Norwich.
Conn, and I got him yesterday. in
spite of all the stories to the effect that
1 would. lose that exceptionally clever
player said Mack. Last fail, just
before the season ended, Murphy drift
ed from his moorings, for which he
was suspended. I heard the persistent
rumors that would not down that Muir
ply was lost to me. But after I had
a heart-to-heart talk with him hao
his name to a contract in no time, so
that the stories were not founded on
facts. I consider Murphy the great
est second baseman in the business,
barring of course, Lajoie."

WITH EYES CLOSED.
DR.. WiIey's Jury Can Tell Storage
Meat From Fresh. sfcsf

Washington, Jan. S0.2Dr Harvey
W. Wiley, chief, of the chemistry
| bureau of the department of agricul-
ture, testified concerning the deteriora-
ton of food stuffs in cold storage be-
fore the house committee on agricul-
ture. whose hearings on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill have just been
made public.
The cold storage warehouses are. at
DR.. Wiley's disposal in. Washington,
and he gave the results of experiments
with all sorts of foodstuffs. ~
Milk begins to deteriorate- right
away, and so does cream said DR..
Wiley. Eggs also begin to deteriorate
Immediately. Fruit is improved and
sometimes continues to improve for
three months. Meat improves up to
about six or eight weeks. But after
three months for meat you can see that
it has reached the maximum, and then
it begins to go down. do not care how
hard it is frozen"
When asked for further eXplana ton
of the deterioration of meat frozen in
cold storage, DR.. Wiley said:
I'VE find that meats do not taste as
we'll and they do not smell as well, and
every time the jury can pick that which
has been kept over three months Take
and we have a fresh quail cooked at
the same time. We cook them just
alike, and every time the jury can pick
them out blindfolded.'
DR.. Wiley stated that most foods i'm
prove when properly kept for short
time, but he said the object of his ex-
periments is to inform the public, and,
particularly, the cold storage people,
how long they may safely keep food in
storage. He said that as yet he has
been unable to determine whether
drawn or undrawn poultry keeps bet
ter. DR.. Wiley was asked many ques-
tions about oysters and said that the
oysters opened and shipped in buckets
should be prevented from entering in
terstate commerce. as they are dead.
''An oyster is dead an hour after it is
opened said Dr. Wiley. And is not
good. It loses it's flavor"
In response to inquiries from Repre-
sentative Haskins as to the advisability
of freezing oysters to preserve them for
shipment DR.. Wiley said:
.'Oh, they ought not to be frozen.
That ruins them and as soon as they
thaw they are dangerous" He urged
that oysters be shipped alive and in the
shell. He said the oysters sent out in
tin cans are all right.
Gelatin was denounced by DR.. Wiley,
who said of it:

hides. These hides that smeIl,t to heaven
are treated and trimmed and these trim
mings are used to make gelatin. The
marine hospital service found tetanus
germs in gelatin s
DR.. Wiley said the gelatin factories
are the dirtiest in the world; that the
hides are treated with alkali, which iI
rubbed into them for shipment. He said
that this gelatin is sometimes made in
glue factories and that stuff that is not
fit for glue is made into gelatin.
In reply to a question from Represen-
tative Haughen DR.. Wiley said: ~
Gelatin is used in ice cream and can
dies and for making capsules that you
take your medicine in He added that
there is no objection to gelatin if pro-
perly made and that there is plenty of
wholesome raw material to make it of.
