POULTRY MEN ASK HEARING
OPPONENTS OF ROOSTER LAW
ADDRESS COMMISSIONERS.
Prepared to Make Test Case If Com.
emissioners Decline to Modify
New Regulations.

The Poultry Protective Association has
asked the District Commissioners for a
hearing at which it can argue the mat
ter of the regulations which require that
chickens shall not be kept within twenty
five feet Of dwelling house inside the
fire limits and fifty feet of a dwelling
house outside Of the fire limits, and also
press their claim that 1t is not fair to
require a poultry fancier to obtain the
consent Of IS per cent of the people on
his block before he can have a rooster.
President Geddes sent the following let
ter to the Commissioners yesterday:
'On behalf Of the Poultry Protective
Association, have the honor to request
that you will appoint day and hour to
receive a committee from this associa-
ton In regard to the new poultry regula-
ton in the District of Columbia We
would appreciate an interview, either with
your body or counsel, at an early date
Until such interview Is granted, we
would respectfully request of your honor
able body that you notify the proper de-
partment to suspend action in the cases
where the owners of poultry have been
notified to remove their poultry immedi-
ately.''
Speaking of the aims and intentions OF
the Poultry Protective Association. Mr..
The money being contributed to the
association will be used i'm case the emer-
gency arises to protect any one in a test
case in the courts, and we will try to set
tie this poultry matter once for all time.
If the emergency does not arise. or IL we
get the poultry regulations amended with
out a test case, the money will be return
ed. 1 am inclined to believe that the Com
missioners will make reasonable amend
ments, and If so, why the easiest way IL
ALWAYS the best However, II
cannot get these amendments We must
make a test case.
1.-The association has not a single OBJ
lection to the sanitary clauses of the
regulations. Any poultry man whose place
is insanitary must not expect the aid Of
the association. For the good of the
at large. every poultry place
should be sanitary. Our principal obtec-
ton is to the distance we are required to
place our poultry yards from the nearest
dwelling. If the yards are sanitary. why
should there be any specified distance re-
uuired?"

The steamer Lackawanna OF Buffalo

SEATTLE, Wash. September Is. 1909
There have been several important con-
ventions at Seattle during the summer
composed of delegates from every section
Of the country. who came here to discuss
various phases Of the public welfare.
They were appointed by commercial asso-
Citations. governors Of states. mayors Of
cities and other officials as representa-
tives of the communities from which they
came. Many were volunteers directly or
indirectly interested in the subjects
under consideration. In almost every
case the delegates prepared their own
credentials and paid their own expenses.

gatherings. and was the most important
of them all in It's bearings upon the pub

the government in dealing with the natu-

You will remember that President
Roosevelt called the governors of all the
western states to meet at the White
House year ago last spring for the
purpose of devising means by which the
natural wealth of the nation can be pre-
served and made more valuable for the
use of the people, as we'll as for the rev.
enues of the government. The result OF
that gathering was the organization of
conservation associations In nearly all of
the states. and a call was issued for a

HASTINGS CHIEF CONSPIRATOR

With generalization and malice, the De-
partment of Agriculture is preparing to
perpetrate an outrage on the great Amer
lean hen!
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson afore-
time professed to be friend of the hen.
The, yearbook of the department used to
great American hen laid in the course of
a year, and how much she added to the
national wealth.
But now all is changed. The depart
ment has designed an instrument in vir-
tue Of which there will be no more stale
eggs and no more fresh eggs. The great
American hen may work overtime, she
may sit up. or down, at night, and burn
the midnight oil laying eggs to add to
the national wealth. but she will get no
credit for her industry. The Department
of Agriculture is preparing to fix cold
storage eggs so that they may not be
distinguished from the new-laid article
even by the price mark.
Will Stand Poaching.
The jewellers in cities have become SO
used to eating icehouse eggs at new-laid
prices that they may kick at the innova-
ton, but If they do they will simply have
to get used to eggs that will poach. 1t
used to be that hotels and restaurants
had to keep on hand Q certain number of
eggs that were still youthful enough to
poach Eggs scrambled and disguised in
other ways were served to the less dis
corning among their customers. But
under the new dispensation any egg that
postdates the Spanish-American war can
be served in any form that is desired.
and eggs will never go under 35 cents a
dozen, no matter how hard the industri-
GUS hen may work to create glut in the
market.
The perpetrator of the outrage is Milo
Hastings of the bureau of animal indus
try. though his evil ways have received
official sanction from his immediate chief.
DR.. Malvin, and from Secretary Wilson
himself Mr. Hastings remarks. not d.
rectly Of course. but by inference, that
there is a point beyond which even the
cold-storage egg is not marketable. 1t is
salable. of course, SO long as the shell
STAYS intact but when a customer gets a
dozen strictly fresh" eggs in paste
board box and finds them as light as last
years almonds, or when he detects a
reminiscent antediluvian flavor with his
bacon at the breakfast table, he is apt
to rebel and seek another corner gro
