and talked too much. / took an hon
orable discharge and then filed three
charges against DR.. o. G. McNairy.
The charges were intemperance, gross
neglect of duty and incompetence.
These charges were made before the
local board. but I never was given a
chance to prove them and was barred
from the home.
I'm 1908 L was sick and applied for
readmission to the home. H. H. Mark
ham was then local manager, and he
refused to sign the papers. When on
November I appeared with seven
men to prove the charges I had made
against the doctor, Mr.. Elwell, one Of
the general inspectors, told me l had
no right to make charges against an
officer. l never was given a hearing.
Four days later 1 went to Lambert,
the adjutant, who told me to~get out
of the office.
Sent to County Hospital
Being sick, 1 was sent to the county
hospital, and from there to the poor
farm, where I was refused admission.
DR.. Barber, the superintendent of the
county hospital, told me he had letter
from Lambert telling him not to admit
me. The Associated Charities took up
my case and sent me to Santa Ana,
where I worked until I broke down,
and l tried to get into the county hos
pital. I was sent a blank for read
mission to the home, which filed out,
and three weeks ago l left the county
hospital and went to the home. 1 was
placed in the tuberculosis ward When
went in I weighed 155 pounds and
now l weigh fourteen pounds less. I
lost that much in three weeks and 1t
was on account of the food, which is
not nourishing. 1 was ordered out of
the home today because I asked for
1 change of clothes That is the sort
If treatment the men get. I will have
20 walk to the home tomorrow, as 1
nave no money with which to pay my

A pathetic story was revealed yes
.erday at the home when the old SOL

lack Tinney, one of the members. He
was tried, it is claimed, without be-
ng present, by Governor Cochrane and
given forty days on the dump" for

MEAT EXPERTS
ARE DEFENDED
GALL HONEST MEN" VERDICT
or COMMITTEE
CHARGES PROVE BOOMERANG TO
COMPLAINANT
Officials Investigating Assertion Of
Meat Inspector Against Fellow
Workers Report Adversely
and He Is Discharged
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The COM
mittee appointed by Secretary Wilson,
composed OF A. d. Melvin of the bureau
Of animal industry and George P. Nc
Cabe, solicitor of the department, which
investigated the charges of ]. f. Harms
that the federal meat inspection service
at East St. Louis was "rotten and a
farce" today reported that the inspec-
tors there were honest men and per-
forming their duties efficiently and that
no meat had passed which was unfit for
human food.
The report, which was submitted to
the secretary and approved by him, de-
clares that while there is absolutely no
basis for the charges made by Mr..
Harms they undoubtedly will reflect in
juriously on the foreign market for
American meat food products.
The report concludes as follows:
1T Is the belief OF your committee
that the men at East st. Louis station
from the top to the bottom are abso-
lutely honest and competent, that they
are discharging their duty to the SER
vice and to the public in conscien-
tious,, high minded, efficient way and
lndt no meat Is pdSSeu lTOil Tie IJdSt
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
honest, efficient inspection, and 1t is to
be regretted that the word of a dis
gruntled, dissatisfied employe, irrespon-
sible and answerable to no one, should
be made the occasion of an attack on
a service which is honestly conducted
and which means so much to the Amer
ican consumer of meat 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 Inspectors Harms and
Bischof and Veterinary Inspector
Michael.

SEYMOUR WILL
STAY IN OFFICE
tContInued from Page One,

ed by City Attorney Leslie Hewitt was
not made yesterday, as it was an-
nounced that the city attorneys time
was engrossed in other affairs. This
excuse is not taken seriously for no
more important matter could occupy
the city attorneys time than the al
legation that one of his officers had
been charged with serious crime.
It is stated openly that the investi-
cation was put off until more evidence
and facts in the case could be gath
cred. A number of detectives were at
work gathering evidence on the Sey-
mour case. and it will not be surpris-
ing If the case takes a sudden and
remarkable turn today or within a few
days.
Seymour Still In Office
Although at first it was regarded as
simply a case of the word of Seymour
against that of Arnerich, the detec-
tives have been working on the out
side and further than to state that a
good clew that would throw light on
the case was being followed the Off
GERS in Deputy District Attorney Paul
]. McCormick's office would not talk.
Contrary to the declaration made by
Seymour Thursday night that he
would hand his resignation to City
Attorney Hewitt yesterday morning.
no such action was taken.
Why Seymour changed his mind
over night he explained by saying that
he had consulted with superior court
judges, prominent laymen and a num-
Der of the clergy and that they advised
him to fight the matter to the end and
not to leave his office under fire.
At 5 o'clock last night Seymour is
sued this notice: "I have decided not
fn ci fcfo ut
prosecuting attorney"
Seymour said he had called at the
office Of City Attorney Hewitt and
that the latter was busy and that the
expected interview will be held some
time today.
To some Seymour denied that he had
stated that he would resign, but ad-
mitted to reporters that he did say so
and fully intended to do so, but act
ing on the counsel of friends he had
decided to remain in office until fired
out"
Brown Admits Charges
City Attorney Hewitt refused to dis
cuss the matter yesterday, stating that
he had not yet considered the matter
but that there would be a
thorough investigation and that if
guilt was proved the guilty party
would have to sever his connection
with the office.
Seymour steadfastly maintained his
innocence yesterday and was about
his duties for a short while in the
but absented himself from
the police headquarters during the
afternoon.
AS the case is prolonged new and
startling features are brought to light
and it is thought that when Arnerich
comes to trial July 21 a big surprise
will be sprung. Those on the inside
look for surprise long before the
Arnerich case is heard.
1t was said last night that Patrol
nan Brown admitted that he served
TWO years for burglary. 1t is said
hat he was with other young men and
hat while going about the country at
he age of II he was implicated and
convicted of breaking into a box car
Ind stealing ham. For this, it is |
stated, he served a term of two years |
n the Kansas penitentiary.
