TO MEAT INSPECTION
Secretary Wilson Takes Issue With
Statements by a Scotehman.
He Resents IasinUation That Each
Inspection Must Pass Upon ST
Animals Each Day.

Washington. d. c. - In an author
lied statement issued al the depart
ment OF agriculture Thursday Secre-
tary Wilson takes issue with certain
structures recently made by 4. NJ.
TTotter. municipal veterinary inspec.
tor of Glasgow. Scotland. upon the
system Of meat inspection in the
United States. In an official report
Mr.. Trotter is alleged TO have said
that I'm 1905 the number OF animals
Slaughtered in the United States was
il,T32.165, an average OF 3T.4S2 for
each working day and that the num-
Der OF inspectors was but 40, which
made Il necessary for each inspector
TO examine the carcasses OF not less
that 93T animals each day-"an ut
ter impossihiiity." Secretary Wilson
said the Inference was that these fig
ures represented the entire federal
inspection service OF the United States.
AS a matter Of fact, ne added
the report Of the bureau Of animal
industry for the fiscal year 1905 shows
that 1921. 013 animals were inspected
az slaughter in that year. The force
engaged IN meat inspection in July
!. 1905, according TO the records OF
the bureau, numbered T6S exclusive
Of 2s3 mi~croscopists.
The secretary declares that Mr..
Trotter's figures were evidently gar
bled from the report Of the committee
Of the department on condition IN Chi
Cago.
Under the new meat inspection law
he says. the force al Chicago has
been considerably increased, until Il
now numbers 27C. Of which n are
trained veterinarians. In the country
at large. he adds. the meat inspec-
ton force numbers 1000.

The magnificent building OF the Car.
negie Institute OF P%ittsburg. which has
just been dedicated In the presence Of
representatives, Of foreign govern
ments and men Of learning from an
owe the world, is a memorial and
tribute to human aspiration. It is not
accident. but a significant and natural
thing that this great peoples universe

head and hands. and felt that insatiate
thirst for knowledge and light which
the new institute viii help to satisfy.
To this day Mr.. Carnegie holds in
grateful memory the persons who
helped him by such small favors as
the loan Of a single book. The Car
negie Institute embraces i've great de.
partments: the library, with a quarter
OF a million volumes; the museum con.
tanning one Of the finest natural his
tory collections in the world; the art
gallery, with its annual international
jury and generous prizes; the music
hall. where the best work Of great
composers has an adequate presenta-
ton; and the great group of technical
schools. for admission to which 10000
students have already applied Il
would be unjust to overlook the o
age and the f~ar-sighted generosity OF
the city Of Pittsburg in building up
the institute. says the Youths Com.
panion. Every offer which Mr.. Car
negie has made has been met halfway
by the municipality. and every step
his philanthropy has advanced has
been promptly paralleled by the city.
Skilled workmen and the great indus
tries in which they are engaged have
made Pittsburg one Of the great
American cities. The Carnegie lnsti-
tute win help to place it among the
great educational and artistic and
musical centers. Although its physical
atmosphere is dark and smoky, its

ported Friday after a hours and s
minutes OF deliberation that It could

twelve men were promptly discharged
BY Justice Fitzgerald. who declared
that he, too. believed their task wat
hopeless. Thaw was remanded to the
Tombs without bail to await a second
trial on the charge of having murdered
Stanford White.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. District
Attorney JerNe declared there were
many other persons accused Of homi-
eide awaiting trial and Thaw would
have TO take his turn with the rest.
Harry Thaw had been waiting fer
a summons TO face the jurors ever
since shortly after 10 O'Clock Friday
morning. He felt that the day would
bring a crisis and either a verdict
would be reached or Justice Ftzger-
aid would discharge the Jurors from
any further consideration Of the car.
This was the genarl belief and the
only remarkable feature OF the case
was the dogged ann in which the
Jurors continued at their task and de-
clincd to ask 4 be excused. Justice
Ftzgerald had determined to let them
