NO FIREWORKS FOR GOMPERS
DISTRICT REGULATION TO BE
ENFORCED AT RECEPTION.
Leaders Rebuked for Conservatism
at Meeting of the Central Labor
Union Last Night.

There will be no rockets red glare or
Roman candles bursting in air when
Samuel Gompers comes home, October 10.
The fiat of the District Commissioners
has gone forth that there is fireworks
law here and it will be enforced. The
Gompers reception committee of the Cen
trail Labor Union has been SO notified
by the authorities, and last night at the
regular weekly meeting of the central
body the committee read the law on the
subject of pyrotechnics to the assem-
blage of workingmen.
Hence, Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, will
have a fireworksess homecoming from
the old world, but the members of the
trades unions of the District to the num-
Der of approximately 5000 will parade
with flaming torches and every man of
them will have his voice with him.
1t was reported by the reception COM
mittee that many organized workingmen
from nearby cities will take part in the
reception. Many brass bands will lend
their music to the enthusiasm of his
homecoming.

MEAT INSPECTORS
 ARE DISCHARGED Charges of J. F. Hams Are No Credited By Department NO BASIS FOR CHARGES Committee of Investigation Finds That Men at the East St. Louis
 Station Are Honest in
 Their Methods.

Washington. July 2.-The committee ap- pointed by Secretary Wilson, composed of Dr. A. D. Melville of the bureau of animal industry and Geo. P. McCabe, solicitor of the department, which inves- tigated the charge of J. F. Harms that the federal meat inspection service at East St. Louis was rotten and a farce,r today reported that the inspectors there were honest men and performing their duties efficiently and that no meat had been passed which was unfit for human food.
 The report, which was submitted to the secretary today and approved by him, is an exhaustive presentation of the case. The committee state that their inves- tlgation was most searching and that it failed to reveal any trace of dishonesty on the part of any employe at the East St. Louis station. It is declared that while there is absolutely no basis for the charges made by MT. Harms, they will undoubtedly to a greater or less extent reflect injuriously upon the foreign mar ket for food products.
 Tt is the belief of your committee" the report concludes, that the men at the East St. Louis station, from top to bot tom, are absolutely honest and con- petent; that they are discharging their duty to the service and to the public in conscientious, high minded, efficient way and that no meat is passed from the East St. Louis station bearing the mark of federal inspection which is not in every respect fit for human food. The record shows that many of the employees at the East St. Louis station have worked overtime in their efforts to give an hon. est and efficient inspection, and it is to be regretted that the word of a dis gruntled, dissatisfied employe, irresponsi- ble and answerable to no one, should be made the occasion of an attack upon & service which is honestly conducted, and which means much to the American consumer of meat food products and to the cattle, sheep and hog raisers of the country, who are bound to suffer from any attack, no matter how uncalled for which may be made upon the service"
 AS the result of the report, Secretary Wilson has ordered the summary dis missal of Meat Inspector Harms and Bis chof and Veterinary Inspector Michael.

conference will be held in a few days missioners, the fire committee of the city council, the water commissioners and To- cal insurance men on the one hand and Inspector Lawton of the Southeastern Tariff association on the other.
 Before the conference Is held Fire Chief Cummings will have prepared and sub mitted his annual report showing the number and extent of the fires experi- enced, the damage, and other facts in connection herewith, also the means at his command for fighting fires. with rec omm endations to the city council for im- provement in the service.
 The idea is to have Jackson re-rated and re-rated down. Since the town was rated many and substantial improve ments have been made in the fire de- partment, and it has now one of the best organized and best equipped departments boasted by any city in the land, having one large central station and three or four sub-stations scattered over the city, mile or more from the central sta tion.
 The water pressure is strong now, but Is no longer depended on in fighting fires. steamers and chemical trucks and com binatiop wagons responding to every alarm, which come in over the Game well electric system, that has been in use several years, and which recently has been extended and improved. And yet rates are higher in Jackson than most anywhere in the state, amounting almost to prohibition on some classes of risks.

LEON LING STILL
 IN LOST COLUMN

New York, July 2-Paul Sigel, the father of Elsie Sigel, visited the Fordham morgue today and declared positively that the body recovered last night from the Hudson river is not that of Leon Ling the man accused of the murder of his daughter on June 9. The coroner's physician had previously declared that the body was not that of a Chinaman, but of a white boy apparently about IS years of age. With this phase of the case dis posed of the sigel murder mystery again resolves itself into a search for Leon Ling
 It became known tonight that in search ing through the telegraph company's files the police found 8 message supposedly sent by Leon Ling from New Orleans to Yung Dat, one of I.eon's friends, who formerly lived here, but who disappeared recently. The message. from what can be learned, instructed Yung Dat to join him in New Orleans. It is said there are number of Leon's clan in New Or leans.
