The story in a morning paper, quoting
me a. saying that the workhouse officials
have told District officials that meat re-
ceived at the institution was bad. and
have been told by the District officials
to accept it because it was all right, is
made out of the whole cloth" declared
Acting Supt Ladd of the District work
house this morning.
These are the answers to recent pub
lshed charges that poor meat is furnish
ed to the workhouse prisoners and that
the meat has been passed by District
officials over the protest of the work
house officials.
Because of the recent receipt OF letter
from an inmate of the institution COM

terday afternoon he sent the following
instruction TO the board of charities:
Please investigate and report on the
character OF the food supplies being fur
nished to the Washington Asylum. Please
state whether they are up to the standar I'd
and whether that has been the case in re-
cent years. If not please state whether
reports showing their character have been
received from the superintendent or the
acting superintendent and L. any action
has been taken respecting them"
Property Clerk Hargrove searched the
records of his Office today for complaints
from the officials of the work house re-
garding the quality OF the meat furnished
the institution. He found only one letter
from an official of the institution In which
the word meat was used. In that Supt,
Zinkhan stated that he thought that too

with the beef sent 10 the institution and
asked to have the matter remedied The
quantity of neck allowed was fixed nv

declaring that the health Office should he

quality of meat furnished and that an in

became effective only one complaint has
been received by the health officer That

pheasants. which they were observed to
pick up and carry off as retriever

mouth. 1t may be recalled that the
naturalization of the guinea fowl and
other foreigners in England was the
chief object of the originators of the
Zoo" But the guinea fowl. long fallen

pheasants' friend.
The domestic hen is itself a bird of
prey. I have seen hens enter with zest
into the slaughterous game that at
tends the thrashing out of stack and
kill mouse after mouse as they tried to
escape across the open. This week in
my garden a sparrow was killed by
hen with chicks and in the neighbor-
hood turkeys have initiated the guinea
fowl in the killing of young pheasants.
1t is strange to contrast this deadly
peck of the bird-superlatively illus

lance with so much success. Each palm
when boxed weighed eighteen tons. and
a string of ten horses was required in
order to transport the palms to the rail-
way station, a distance of two miles,
through some of the busiest streets In
San Francisco.
The palms figured were also of more
than ordinary interest to the citizens of
San Francisco, having stood there for
more than twenty years. In addition to
this fact. they might be classed as most
interesting relics of the earthquake-fire
of 1905. at which time Mr.. Huntingtons
magnificent residence was destroyed,
along with everything In that district.
The fire stripped the palms completely
of their foliage, leaving only the bare and
blackened stems. Since that time in the
course of three years fresh growth has
been made by them. new well developed
crowns have appeared and they bid fair
to become two of the most interesting
objects on the Huntington estate.
