JUDGE.
HAVE INTEREST IN BILLS
(By Demas S. coe.)

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 13.-Judge
Converse, of the city police court,
President Cliff Merrill, of the board c.
works, and Supt. Jesse Bailey, of the
police department were three of the
Richmond visitors in the Legislature
today and all of them had their eyes
and their minds fixed intently on the
deliberations of committees that have
under consideration measures ,.bich
proposes to affect them. The COM
mittee on cities and towns OF the
house, has "nested" on the bill to re-
peal the cities and towns act in SO far
as it relates to some of the cities Of
the state, and no amount OF probing
can bring to light just what will be
done with it. President Merrill talk
ed to various members of the senate
and was informed that up to the pres
ent the upper branch has not taken
official notice of the bill and that also
it is likely that should such a meas
through the senate without a fight.
The democratic members of the sena
ate are said to oppose any tampOrinS
with the cities and towns law, while
the republican side of the chamber is
divided. The house, however which
has established the reputation of do
ing many things not expected OF Ii,
may refuse to countenance the bill
when it finally comes forth from
committee.
Supt. Bailey was trying to get
line on the status of the Mccullough
bill, which proposes to place the ap.
pointment of police commissioners in
the hands of the mayors. 1t is rea-
sonable to expect that in cities where
there are republican mayors the
boards will be republican 1.-TWO to one)
and therefore the superintendents of
the departments will be- republican,.
Where the mayors are democrats, the
majority of the board members will be
democrats and the superintendent
will be democrats. That is what
Supt Bailey probably is thinking
about, and there is no question that
he is thinking along proper lines. SEN
ator Will Wood is the chairman of the
cities and towns committee in the up
per branch. He has the Mccullough
bill, which passed the house. in
charge. but as he is unalterably oppos-
ed 10 change the law. he probably is
not intending TO lose any sleep In or
der 10 get the bill reported for action.
However. Representative Mccullough
ing a good deal of sleep and they visit
the senate chamber dozen times a
day TO see ii Senator Wood cannot be
prevailed on to make a report II
was said today that Senator Wood has
about determined 10 have a public
hearing on the bill next week.

Postoffice Clerks Are Fairly
SWamped, Post Cards Be-

TOKENS OF GOOD GRADE
MERCHANTS SAY THE DEMAND
THIS YEAR HAS BEEN FOR
BETTER CLASS OF GOODS THAN
FORMERLY.

This is st. Valentines day. as the
postal employees and proprietors of
book stores will readily admit for dur
ing the past week and particularly
during the past two days both have
been swamped in handling thousands
of the tokens.
Richmond dealers in the missives
say that this years sale has been un-
precedented. The better grades have
had a ready sale at two and three
dollars, while the most popular variet-
les sold for from ten to fifty cents.
One of the most noticeable features
of this years sale according to the
merchants has been the small demand
for the old fashioned comics" of nov
elites and souvenir post cards the
dealers have almost exhausted their
stock.
The number of valentine packages
handled this year has been enormous
according to the statements of the
postal clerks in the local post Office.
The greatest business however was
done yesterday and during the day
the clerks were employed in throwing
post cards and small packages by the
hundreds. Postmaster Spekenhier
said yesterday that the influx of
souvenir post cards was welcomed by
the clerks in preference TO the old
fashioned flimsy affairs as they were
much easier handled, although thous-
ands additional were finding their way
into the local Office.

the great benefit which the public
derives from federal inspection OF
meat under the new pure food law
was never better demonstrated than
at the Richmond Abattoir companys
slaughter house, on Liberty avenue
yesterday. when DIR. w. o. Wagoner.
the government Inspector condemned
large beef as having tuberculosis.
Circumstances combined TO make
the case a noteworthy one. The bul-
lock on foot weighed 1900 pounds and
was such a perfect looking animal
tnat number OF persons present
when 1t was taken to the abattoir
remarked that it was to be regretted
that 1t had to be killed. City Inspec-
tor of livestock Paddock examined
the animal on foot and former city
inspector Beeson had bought the ami
NAL for the abattoir. All thought
that it was a remarkably fine beef
and even DIR. Wagner did not sus-
pect anything wrong with 1t until 1t
was killed and the entrails taken out

condition Of the beef until the inspec-
tor had shown them by cutting open
the lungs and other infected por-
tions.

called to the abattoir and what he
saw was sight not soon to be for
gotten. The animals intestines after
having been opened to view by a keen
bladed knife showed advanced stages
of disease. When lying along side OF

that they were swollen to unnatural
size. According to DIR. Wagoncr it

was taken by the inspector to protect
the butchers and also to prevent other
meat in the room from being infected.
The place was thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected as were all the knives
used in preparing the beef. DIR. Wag-
oner said that in case of stock having
tuberculosis it was possible for the I
butchers to become infected unless
