ors Is sold and consumed In Chicago,
according to a recent article In the
Chicago Tribune. st. Louis prohibits
both the slaughter and sale Of "lumpy
Jaw" cattle In that city, and Kansas
City. while 1t permits the slaughtering
Of such cattle, prohibits the sale Of the
beef.
That Chicago has become the "dump.
ing ground for practically all the
"lunipy Jaw" beef In the country was
revealed by food inspectors.
At one plant are slaughtered every
Friday from 100 to 200 head Of "lumpy
Jaw" cattle. or these only small
fraction Is condemned as UNFIT for con.
sumption. The rest, with the diseased
parts cut out, Is sold for prime beef,
and brings the retailer a. good prices
40 the best beef.
This IL possible by reason Of the fact
that the consumer has no way Of telling
whether the beef he buys 10 part Of
"lumpy Jaw" steer or not II the In.
spectors pass an infected animal, after
the p0st.mOrtem inspection. the beef ID
placed In the cooler and sold Just as
any other beef.
Out Of total days slaughter of 100
head Of "lumpy Jaw" and otherwise In
fected animals only twelve car.
cases were condemned after post.
mortem inspection. This means that at
an average weight Of 1900 pounds each
there will be sold In Chicago during
the next few days ut least 10000
pounds Of "lumpy jaw" beef. How
much of the same kind of meat Is
shipped into Chicago from Kansas City
and other places where Its sale is pro.
hibited would be difficult to estimate,
but the quantity Is undoubtedly large.
In most OF the Eastern cities 0rdi.
nances are In force prohibiting the sale
Of meat from animals with actin0my-
COSTS. the scientific name for "lumpy
Jaw" Thus Chicago remains as the
only large market where that class of
cattle may be slaughtered and sold with
profit.
The average weekly receipts Of cattle
at the stock yards are 10000 head. and
among these always are found from
100 to 200 animals infected In one
way or another.

The meat inspection law which was
framed up to suit the Beef Trust. does
not provide for microscopic examina.
tiOns and no microscopic examination
Is made of pork for the purpose Of dis.
covering evidences Of trlchina.
No wonder that foreign governments
with the good health OF their subjects
In mind are somewhat suspicious of
Beef Trust pork.

The one benefit that Chicago and
Illinois receives by the location Of the
slaughtering and packing houses here.
Is an unlimited supply of tuberculosis.
Government inspection only applies to
meat shipped to other States or foreign
countries. No wonder DR.. Billings esti.
mates the number Of tuberculosis pe0-
pie In Illinois at 100000.

YALE'S STROKE
GRISWOLD DEAD

NEW HAVEN. Conn. December 90
News was received here late yesterday
afternoon of the death in San Francisco.
Cal. Of Dwight Torrey Grlswoid. stroke of
asst years Yale crew, GrisWold, whose
home was in Erie, Pa, was In hospital
at the time of his death. where he was
taken some time ago, suffering from ty-
phoid fever.
Griswoid was never we'll after the race
with Harvard. He was the most popular
man in Yale and. according to John Ken
nedy, the veteran coach, was the best
stroke Yale ever had. But he was mar
who had his off days and it was knowing
this that he was given the most 1mpor-
tant position in the boat. There had been
no one like him In years and the crew
had again and again broken the speed
record on New Haven harbor. The day OF
the race he started off finely and the crew
was rowing in the best manner until Capt.
Ides shoestring snapped. This was the
end.
Both crews went back and started over
again but Giriswold was nervous wreck.
BEFORE the mile mark was reached he col
lapsed and was taken from the boat.
After the race was over he was taken TO
the Thousand Islands, where 1t was hoped
he would recover his health. but he con-
tinued to wonE over the race uht1i ne
became very i'll and it was decided to take
him west for his health He continued to
become worse. however. and his illness
was complicated with typhoid fever. His
death resulted Yesterday.
His DEATH with that of Harry Holcomb,
the old Yale oarsHan, who d!ed last year
from the results of a race. have given
rise to a call for shortening the srueling
forr-mile course. Grtswold's brother col
lapsed the same way in 1900.

finding the Philadelphians leading with d
total of four points against one each for
their opponents, the teams Of Cornell and

terday when size won her first game.
Today's play may decide the tournament
and the possession of the Rice trophy, as
the best players Of Cornell and Brown are
paired in the third round, leaving an ar-
parently easy field for Pennsylvania s eX-
perts.
Hughes Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania selected lively variation Of the
Guoco piano against Mccoy Of Brown,
and on the twenty-eigllth move Mccoy re-
signed. At the second board Tolins of
Cornell adopted tho Petrof defense
against Freeman OF Brown. and had the
Providence man at his mercy on the
thlrty-fifth move, his victory giving Cor
nell her first point.
Whitaker of Pennsylvania attacked
Perkins of Cornell after the manner sug-
gested by. Maroczy, the Hungarian cham
pion, Perkins setting lip the Sicilian de-
Tense. Whitaker wound tip with an an
nounced mate in four moves which he
completed on the eighteenth. The teams
now stand:

SEBRING TO PLAY
WITH BROOKLYN

NEW YORK. December 3o.--Jinmy Sc
bring, tie famous base ball outlaw.
was added to the list OF prospective
Brooklyn managers this morning in a
rumor that is founded on Sehring's posi-
bic reinstatement by tho national COM
mission next week.
Sebrings case is expected to be set
tied January 4. and it is believed that he
will be let down with fine. Even then
His title will not be clear. IS the Chi
cago club claims to have A string on
the outfielder However. Sebring was one
of the players doomed to remain forever
i'm the Tri-State League. and title 10 hin,
was vested III that organization So all
that he will cost the Brooklyn club will
be nominal fine and the price of his re-
lease from the Tt Estate League.
Even if the Brooklyn club fails to land
Dahlen. it is hardly likely that Sebring
would get the job. He managed the Will
Transport team, in the Tri-State League,
but was displaced by Harry Wolverton
after season. Sehring is not considered
relia bile, and 1t would be a rash move
TO put him in charge of a major league
club. II he can hit he will play the
outfeld for the Dodgers. and that will
about let him out.
There is scarcely any doubt that Sebring
will be reinstated. His sister has visited
Harry Pulliam several times in Sebring' s
behalf. and he seems sincere in his re-
pentance. So far as is known. there is no
decided objection to the erasure of his
name from the blacklist
Our. one best bet on the Brooklyn thing
is Bill Dahlen. Something may drop
next week
