MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich, Aug. L.
The result OF all the recent food agi-

wife's claim that preservatives are
not needed in food products and that
the products are better when prepared
without the preservatives. This much
was admitted by the manufacturers
themselves in the closing session Of the
convention Of the association of state
and national food dairy departments
Here are the more interesting points
brought out in the discussion:
Widespread adulteration Of food pro-
ducts is being carried on notwithstand-
ing the national food law and the new
national and state regulations
Personalities in foods are employed
10 conceal inferiority and are not
needed, except TO preserve poor grades
OF raw products-such as factory
refuse-and TO destroy the i'll effects
of bad sanitary conditions.
There is no honest food product on
the market today made out of fruits
and vegetables which cannot be sue
cessfully and satisfactorily packed
without the aid Of chemical preserva-
tives," said Sebastian Mueller, repre-
senung a manufacturer.
I wish to predict that no nanufac-
turer engaged in the making Of fruit
and vegetable products viii diseon-
tinue his business or be forced to dis
continue If chemical preseryatiyes are
ruled out Of products"
William P. Hapgood, a manufactures

which had gathered, and when the
owner asked the reason for the act he
was promptly arrested for disturbing
the peace. Lee Chung Guam, the col
lector Of relief funds for Chinese food
sufferers, was recently held up by po-
hcemen and searched for lottery tick
cts, although no warrant was shown
him, and sealed and stamped letter
was taken from his pocket, opened and
read. Chinese newscarrier was held
up IN like manner, and when the
search failed to bring to light any lot
terry tickets he was taken into a Com
mercial street saloon and made to strip
naked, an almost unbearable disgrace
TO q Chinese.
II Is from Biggy that the orders for
such handling of the Chinatown situa-
tion emanate. and the victims OF sueh
oppression say that when they pro-
tested the policemen have asserted that
they were merely carrying out orders
The greater evils have been overlooked
and the enforcement OF law has been
exercised with a total lack of judg-
ment in many respects.

H. Hitchcock, chairman of the repub-
lican committee, returned here tonight

against denomination for Governor
Hughes.
Great interest was shown in political
circles here in the story printed in Chi

signed his position.
Dover arrived in New York today,
accompanied by Mrs. Dover, who is
about to sail for Europe, He denied

not heard that Dover intended to re-

eral attitude ON the part of the Companies. You
not only seek to hold up the Sutter street railwa
until it surrenders grants made nearly al yes rs
ago, thereby demanding from it rights which Won
recognize as having vested in it as early az 1STa
but you deprive the citizens generally Of effejent
service and especially injure the property and
business that has grown up along the line Of fhis
Sutter street grant during the 30 years of its ex
istence. The issue has not been made by the
United Railroads. The question involved ,s
deeper than the right 10 operate the Sufer street
line either by horses or electricity. The cues.
ton is: Shall the people of this city be denrived
of efficient service? Shall the merchants and
property owners OF Sutter street be injured in hs
value OF their property and their business unIess
the Sutter street railway company win surrender
in the interests OF rival company property and
rights granted to it nearly 80 years ago? I do
not believe that. in morals or in law n cffv

citizen or public service corporation a surren
der OF Its property or its rights without inst
compensation. Yours truly
