As an alumnUs Of that institution.
and as voicing the sentiments of 2
large number of alumni and others
whom / have heard express opinions on
the subject / wish TO suggest that a
more grieVOus error was never made
than that Of doing away with the
evening classes in George Washington
University. This city, with its vast
army of Government employees, is filled
with young men and women who are
anxious to devote their evenings to
higher education. This university. SO
long as IL arranged its courses to con-
doing a great work. indeed. but now.
having eliminated its evening lecture
hours IL has excluded from its doors
the very class upon whose patronage it
depended for existence. Furthermore,
its field OF usefulness has been very
much reduced. Is il any wonder then,
that as a result of this sui ,idal policy,
the university finds itself face to face
with a financial crisis2
1t Is 10 be hoped, therefore, that,
both for the good OF the university
and for the welfare of the community
the leaders Of the institution. who.
beset by false ambition, are endeavor-
ing to create a Princeton in a day. may

F. Harms, and anxious that every accu-
sation of the inspector be probed to the
very bottom, the Department of Agri-
culture has ordered two inspectors TO St.
Louis TO make a full investigation Of
every phase Of meat inspection there.
The two inspectors left Washington
this morning for st. Louis and should
arrive in the city by the Mississippi to-
morrow. They viii make every effort to
ascertain the truth or falsity Of their
brother Inspectors charges. When
their Investigations have been finished
they will report 10 the department and
the whole matter will be made public,
The names OF the two men were with
held this morning, since the department
wishes their work at ST Louis to be
entirely unhampered by any publicity.
The charges which stirred the depart
ment into activity were made by In
spector Harms. eighteen months in the
service, in letter TO Secretary Of Agri-
culture James Wilson. They are of a
startling nature involving not only the
plant at which he has been stationed.
but enfolding. in general accusation. the
whole meat inspection system of the
Government.
Harms. according 20 the dispatches
from st Louis, has gone TO his home
a { Fremont Ohio, and has forwarded
10 Secretary Wilson his resignation.
Although Secretary Wilson Is not in
" Washington 1t was understood this
morning at the department that Harms
resignation VIII be accepted the moment
it arrives.

MEAT INSPECTORS GO
TO SEE STOCK YARDS
Agricultural Department Dispatches Two Men to East
St. Louis, ILL.,, to Investigate Charges Made by
Harms in Letter to Secretary Wilson.

Il have SEEM says Harms in his let
ter to Secretary Wilson, from 100 to
$500 pounds of lard spill snd run into
an open sewer in the floor, the sewer
outlet quickly blocked and the lard
taken up from the floor and out of the
sewer, both Of which were unclean and
unsanitary, and your doctors passed
same to the packers over the protest OF
the inspector on that floor and 1t went
to the public marked u. S. inspected
'sThe inspection at the National
Stockyards, Illinois, is costing the
people approximately, 100000 a year
and it is not actually worth 81 to
them. The packers ere getting today
from 20 to so per cent of what ought
to be condemned and destroyed.
some Of the hlthiest things imagin-
able are practiced in the sausage de-
paTtments, such Is using bladders for
castings without thorough was hing
or cleaning. the use Of filthy tripe in
sausage, the use Of Shiny hog stom-
aChs for castings or containers, the
using Of meats that have fallen on
the floor and are taken up and used
without any pretenSe Of cleaning
Harms declares that on several occa-
siOns meat condemned by suhinspectors
has been released to the packers by
higher officials.
MANY of the charges" said Chief In
spect0r Clancy, Il am sure cannot be
true. He has not complained to me
about my decisions nor to my assistant,
DR. William II. MeadoTs. We are ready
to be investigated"
In reference TO the charges that meat
condemned by subinspsctOrs had been
passed by higher officials, Grief Clancy
said that cases of this kind are not un-
known, because there are frequent de-
cisions TO be made by the officials in
matters of doubt.
The department viii issue a statement
in the Harms case later.

HOW TO GAIN HEALTHY FLESH
Leading Druggists Advise Use
OF SamOse.

While thinness may not be a disease.
yet it is IN reality condition that needs
attention Under the neurishing power
OF Samose healthy. natural fiesa viii
soon be attained.
This remarkable fiesh-forming food
strengthens the system generally, and
builds up the heshy tissues SO that
good. natural plumpness results.
An ounce of flesh Is kstter than a
pound OF theory. Leading druggists be-
lieve that the best possible demonstra-
ton of the iesh-forming powers OF
Samose is to have it tried by their Gus
toners, and 70 induce them to use Il.
They offer to pay for the Samose in
case II does not give satisfaction. No
stronger proof than this can be given
OF their faith IN IT. They have seen
hundreds who were weak thin, ard
scrawny become paump. robust and
strong. solely through the use OK
SamOse.
II you are thin or in poor health, take
advantage of this offer. You run 40
risk whatever. and the chances are Qs
out of 100 that you will notice a gain
in weight after using Samose for a
week or ten days.

agency for Samose.

high schools in the District OF Co
lumbia- Their aim has been always
through examinations TO do Justice
10 the applicant and at the same time
maintain the standards of admission
Everyone who knows the work of
the university and gives IL fair and Just
consideration, viii say unhesitatingly
that the standards Of admission have
been ADVANCED and are honestly upheld
and administered. The total assets of
the university are greater today than
they were in 1900, as shown by the
treasurer's report, and the administra-
ton Of those funds has been carefully
supervised. No other institution of the
country is doing work of the extent and
kind that is done here upon SO small an
expense per student. In fact, our show
ing Is that the students fees pay about
63 per cent OF the cost of his education,
while in no other institution, so far as
! know, IS that percentage larger than
10 per cent
The Carnegie Foundation does not
and can not justly claim that there
has been any retrOgression In the edu-
cational standards or work since il
placed the university on IT'S list. There
has been, as les known 10 every dean
administering he educational work, an
honest effort 10 uphold coed standards
and to do good work.
Agent Examined.
Referring &c the examination which
TIE foundation say that they made, they
sent a young man here as a representa-
tive on last Wednesday morning. lie
was given every opportunity 10 examine
the records Of every dean in the uni
versity. He remained until Thursday
night ard IN his conversations with the
deans gave TO intim3tiOn that the stand
ards II admission or " OTk had been
lowered, DuJ on the contrary, stated that
the problems had been met with intel
-igence and honesty of purpose
Il am told by the deans that COM
parauVely few cases were brought to
their attention by this agent in which
he made any criticism. He had no ex-
tended conversation with me about il
He came TO my office Il the end OF
his work and thanked me very earnest
" for the great courtesy that had been
shown him by the authorities and
stated that every opportunity had been
given him to make the examination,
He gave no intimation whatever Of an
adverse report. He was ia my office
abOu; 3 o Slock on Thursday afternoon.
The letter Of the Foundation was writ
ten the next day-Friday-and received
on Saturday.
To every fair-minded man l am sure
It Will be apparent that TO discontinue
this important relation without giving
the university any hearing whatever
was hasty and prejudiced and unjust.
