MAGGOTS IN MEAT IS
CHARGE OF ATTORNEY
STRONG PLEA is MADE FOR
AQUEDUCT EMPLOYEES
Council Refuses to Act and Lays Mat
ter over Two Weeks to Give
Chance for Adjust
ment

"Some meat full of maggots and
some So putrid it is impossible to gee
within eating distance of 1t, was Ile
charge made by Attorney o. 5. VIII
liams, representing the aqueduct EN-
ployes. who appeared before the coun-
ell yesterday to urge that body to make
an investigation for itself OF food con-
ditions on the aqueduct. .,
Attorney Williams met with little
sympathy from the council. NO one
except Healy and Clampitt took up
the cause of the men. Healy wanted
a committee of three members or the
council to make a personal inYestlga-
ton, and Clampitt declared the attl-
tude of the council was characteristic
of the way the workingman is treated
when he seeks redress for his wrongs,
real or fancied.
Councilman Dromgold was so en-
phatic in his denunciation of Attorney
williams that for time 1t looked IKE
the gentleman from the First and the
heavyweight attorney would mix II
and smear UP the handsome red carpet
on the floor of the council chamber.
Dromgold wanted to know why the
men who were dissatisfied with their
food did not take the matter up with
the board of public works instead OF
hiring an attorney to plead their cause
for them, and he also wanted to know
VINO were IeSDOIlSIDlG lOI lllAiilS AVA
williams. Mr.. Williams explained he
was ready to give the names any time
it was found necessary, but the men
feared they would lose their positions
If their names became known.
Denies Food Is Bad
Attorney Williams declared he rep
resented about nine-tenths of the aque-
duct employees, and that the commit
tee that had engaged his services was
composed of superintendent, foremen
and engineers, and represented the
highest type of intelligence to be found
on the aqueduct.
Attorney w. T. Craig, representing
the Wholesale Investment company,
an organization composed of Los An
geles wholesale dealers who have
financed D. J. Desmond's subsistence
contract on the aqueduct, declared At
torney Williams was telling what was
not true when he made charges
against the quality of the food served
the men. He said the wholesalers who
were supplying the food were furnish
ing a good quality of everything. At
torney Williams admitted that the food
before it got to the table was of good
quality. but when it reached the table
it was spoiled by the cooks or had
been held too long before serving.
The chief complaint, according to
Attorney Wlllldms, IS the general or
der issued by the board of public
works compelling every one to eat at
the Desmond messes or pay 20 cents q
day for three meals whether they eat
them or not. He said some of the men
were so sick they required special diet.
which they were willing to furnish
themselves, but as long as they board
ed themselves they did not want to pay
Desmond for meals they did not eat.
The matter was laid over for two
weeks, to give the board of public
works an opportunity to take advan-
tage of the complaints made and adj
just matters.

from the Alleghenies to far west of

'It was no desire for glory that led me
to this exile" he said. Il wished only
to enjoy nature" He made another
unsuccessful business venture with his
brother in law in New Orleans, after
which he was in dire straits, being
obliged to give drawing lessons and
make crayon portraits.
His wife always encouraged him,
while all others considered MIN mad
to give himself up to such Improbable
work, and she became a governess in
order to obtain money to educate her
children. Finally she was able to
establish a school at Bayou Sara for
the purpose of assisting her husband
financially. However his drawings
were beginning to attract attention
among naturalists and rich people who
were interested in them for their beau
book. He determined to do this and
charge $1,000 a copy. He went to
Europe seeking subscriptions and met
with success.
He crossed the Atlantic several times.
Sometimes his wife travelled with him.
The book was Il success in every re-
spect and copies of it now sell at from

bought a residence in pretty section

BATTLE FOR BIRDS

While fruit rather than feathers for
the most part adorns the inverted
bucket style of headgeaf which the
ladies are now sporting under the
spring sun, a crafty band of New
York feather dealers have today sue
ceeded in having bird butchery for mil
linery purposes legalized for another
year in the closing whirl of the legs-
lature of New York State.
Opposed at every step by the forces
of the National Association of Audu-
bon societies and the $4,000 farmers
of the state grange, who have battled
for the birds that check crop pests,
these. feather sellers have finally sue
ceeded in killing all attempts at a
law for real bird protection. To leave
the feathered crop guards a prey to
the demand for women's hat trimm-
ings for even one year more will sadly
deplete the already waning bird re-
sources of the Empire state, the au-
thorities declare.
From the headquarters of the Au-
dubon workers there has come the
assurance, however, that the fight for
the birds will not be dropped but
pushed by every farmer orcnardist
and ranchman of the country till the
agricultural interests of the land are
recognized by the law makers, instead
of the lobbying of few selfish dealers
in bird scalps.
