the bureau of animal industry in the
federal inspection of meat were made
by Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane OF
Kalamazoo, Mich, in an address today
before the American Health assocla-

Mrs. Crane attacked the department
for misleading. as she said, the public
into believing that the meat inspec--
tion by federal officials was passed
upon justly. She said that the stand
ards of health of animals slaughtered
had decreased since the scandal In
meat inspection of 1906. One OF her
most startling charges, and one that
evoked a spirited denial from Dr. M.

AND
THEN ROBS MAN
D. D. WIGGINS OF INGLEW0OD
VICTIM OF THUGS
While Returning from Los Angeles,
Proprietor of Garage Is Attacked
by Two Men in Little
Suburb

D. D. Virgins, a prominent citizen
of Inglewood and proprietor of an au-
tomobile garage, was sandbagged and
robbed of checks and cash amounting
to 5000 and a silver watch at Ingle-
wood soon after o'clock last night.
Virgins is in a serious condition as
the result of the blow of one of the
two holdup men, having sustained a
concussion of the brain.
The daring robbery was committed
by two men while Virgins was going
to his home on Regent street. Along
the way to his home is a row of pep
per trees, and it was in the shadow of
these trees the assault and robbery
took place.
The victim had gone to visit a
neighboring preacher and was on the
way back to his home, when two men
appeared directly in front of him. AS
Virgins approached the men sepa-
rated so that their victim would have
to pass between them.
GOOD evening"" said one of the men,
and before Virgins could reply he was
felled by a blow from the other man,
the blow being delivered as he truned
his head to respond to the greeting.
That is all Virgins remembers, and
two hours later he was found wander
ing aimlessly about in the yard of a
neighbor. A passerby was attracted
by the peculiar wanderings of the
dazed man, and when he spoke to him,
received an incoherent reply.
Pockets Inside Out
The man also noticed that a piece of
a watch chain was dangling from Wig
gins vest and that his pockets were
turned inside out. and he quickly real
ized that a holdup had taken place.

Accompanying the former president

Washington, Dec 2s.-The departure

United States government has never
taken any steps for the arrest of ze-

Rodriguez, made 1t clear that in con.

the way of reparation for the shooting

that the person or persons found guilty
OF the murder Of the two Americans

pronounced the plant native of Ari-

that some Indian tribe, either migrat-

rather than become enslaved to some
mora powerful tribe, had brought the
plant.

by the residents Of Blue Lake, who
have heard from time immemorial

Indians used to say that the cactus
was brought from Arizona here by the
band Of zuni Indians, who. conquered
