many specific instances in which ami.
mails that had been held by the in

up in the department, and other prod
ucts which the inspectors condemned
were finally passed by the inspectors
in charge.
The charges Harms makes are sup

service, who says he will testify -
their accuracy before any investigator
After asserting that ''U. S. Inspected

ingless because of the inadequacy of
the insuection, Harms says in part in
the letter:
The inspection at the National
Stock Yards, ILL.,, is costing the people
approximately $4,000 a year, and it
is not actually worth 81 to them. For
when the word is passed from the in
spector in charge on to the inspectors
actually doing the work on the floors
that they are getting too many con-
demned animals and to change the
grading, what does that mean? 1t
mean that the whole thing is rotten
and farce. Mr.. Secretary, the pack
ers are getting today from 70 to so
per cent of what ought to be con-
demned and destroyed.
ITO illustrate: On April 1909, Drs.
Graham and Stingley retained and cou-
demned eleven beef carcases for ema-
citation. On April Drs. Clancy and
Neadors released six of said carcasses
TO the packers. The remaining five
were tanked and destroyed.
"On the morning of April ? was in /
a cooler and a packing company SD
perinrendent came in. When his at
tention was called to the eleven car
casses he said: Yes, they are a bad
lot, and had I been on the floor last
evening l would not have let them
come down, but would have sent them
to the tank
Men holding good positions with
the packers see and know these things
ana acknowledge they are wrong. l

If you please, Mr.. Secretary. 7 have

q The preliminary earring before JUS
tice of the Peace lotion of John Ak
ems, accused OF the murder OF
Emma Holston at Make, on TUESDAY
night, June s, together with Sy Gar
ner and Charles Gordon, held as acces-
sories to the crime, was set for 10
O'Clock this morning in the court room
of the county court house.
The audience of negro women and
men began to gather early and when
the hour of 10 arrived they occupied
the gallery and the body Of the room.
The women made up nearly half OF
the audience, representing all shades
Of their race, socially and otherwise,
thoir hats and dresses giving much
color to the darkness of the general
surroundings.
The arrival Of the prisoners was
awaited with much interest. The first
to be brought in was John Akens,
charged with the crime. He is a me
dium sized dark mulatto, quick in
movement and preserved an express
sion of smiling good humor in nodding
to friends and observing the move
ments Of the officers and of others.
1 To look at John was to arouse the i'm
Aression that John looked upon the
3hole affair as one huge joke appear
Mg to be about the least concerned |
as to the outcome Of the hearing Of /
all the others present.
Charlie Gordon, the brightest col
ored of the three and the best dressed,
showed less of the debonnaire manner
of Ahens, but managed to smile with
his eye when some one who knew
him greeted him from a distance. Yet
much concern could be noted in his
countenance.
Sy Garner, with his black kinlly hair
yellow complexion, flattened nose and
thick sensual lips surmounted with a
short but heavy black mustache,
didn't show up to th> oest advantage,
to even the non-interested observer
The self assurance and swagger as he
walked about the court room inside the
bar were too palpably purposely done
for show and effect to leave anything
but bad effect upon the minds of
those who watched his movements.
With the air of possession of the
privilege of even the members of the
bar, Garner crossed the court ROOM

money and returned to his seat. The

1t is a curious fact that no Japanese
ever sleeps with his head to the north.
The reason is that the dead In Japan
are always buried with their heads in
that direction. Consequently. in the
sleeping rooms of many of the private
houses of Japan, not to speak of the
hotels in larger cities, diagram of the
points of the compass is conspicuously
posted on the ceiling for the informa-
ton of guests.

JUDGE E. M. WARNER
Speaks at Congregational Congress in
New Hampshire on Importance Of
Prayer.


New Hampshire on Importance of
Prayer.
At the second Congregational con-
gress in Manchester, N. H., on Tues
day. Judge Edgar NJ. Warner OF Put
nam was one of the speakers, his top
ic being To Restore the Habit Of Pray
er by Study. Judge Warner said in
part:
Study Of prayer is the thought I
would emphasize. The wireless tele-
graph operator must study electricity,
get his machine in tune. and carefully
comply with all conditions. Just so
with messages to Heaven We must
learn to get into tune with the Tnfn-
tie. Why should we learn to pray
Because Christ taught prayer and be-
cause it is the method of God to con-
vert the world. Make it a chosen cleo
tive. no longer a forgotten secret.
If we have a study we should have
a teacher. Christ is the only Teacher
and the Bible the text book / feel
quite sure that we should treat this
subject Of prayer with utmost freedom
and reverent familiarity. l have great
sympathy for the settlement child,
who, when the leader said Let US
pray" responded cheerfully at once,
yes. let's" The Yale ball player who
prayed God to help him win the game
and after victory for his side mod
estly told of his prayer, giving God
thanks is very much to my liking.
The great object of prayer Is the
| conversion of the world. microscopy
prayer IS the vital breath Of the live
Christian. It is great thing to pray
for another soul and it is an impera-
| tive duty Do we have this kind of
prayer to any extent in our New Eng
land churches? How many members
Of your church spend a half-hour each
| Cay In secret prayer? Churches are
not growing. We cannot shut our
eyes to the situation. Four hundred
churches in New England. about one
quarter Of the whole number did not
| receive one soul into their membership
| in 1907 on confession. In 1906 total
| membership in 1874 churches was 255,-
| ga In 1907 additions reported were
9036, so that 1t took 2S members one
fellowship-think of that. Surely that
| crowd of 255,00O Christians have not
been praying as we should. The need
| OF prayer was never mora urgent than
at present. Materialism rampant on
all sides. apathy In the church and
| aggressive evil everywhere. The DOW
ers Of darkness can only be overcome
and defeated by earnest wrestling in
prayer by the whole church for the
help and strength Of the Almighty.
The speaker briefly discussed three
kinds of prayer:
L-Secret prayer, the source of all
other kinds of honest prayer.
u.-Family prayer, the usual result
of secret prayer.
