the stock was valueless and the assets
fell short of the advertised estimate.
Two other indictments against the same
trio charge false pretenses. 1t Is alleged
that George f. Prescott and John Scha-
Ter were defrauded by the alleged false
representations. Prescott purchased stock
to the extent of $500 and Schaller gave

scheme to defraud the United States out
of it's revenue by manufacturing oleOmar-
garine without a license. 1t is also
claimed they retailed the "oleo" without
the distinguishing mark on the wrapper
required by law.

DANGERPO|NTEDOUT
Dr.. MeIvin's Statement Re-
garding Marketed Meats.

That half the meat eaten in the United
States can be called uninspected and
that a real and serious danger to the
public exists as a result is one of the
conclusions reached by DR.. A. u. Melvin.
chief of the United States bureau Of an
imal industry, in his annual report to
the Secretary of Agriculture
Inefficiency Of the government inspec-
ton because Of It's lack Of authority to
reach business done entirely within a
state. Is given as one Of the causes, and
DR.. Melvin points out the great need OF
supplementing the government inspection
of meats with state and municipal In
spectiOns.
One result Of the federal inspection is
to cause the diversion of diseased and
suspicious looking animals to the unin-
spected establishments. where they are
slaughtered for the local market, says
the report.
Despite the shortcomings of the in
spectiOn, it has many advantages and
is producing results which are increasing
from year to year. as shown by DIR. Mel
vim in his report. With the new law
steady Improvement in the sanitation Of
and as a result there has been a con-
siderable decrease in the amount Of meat
condemned in the inspections.
Subject of Unjust Attack.
Notwithstanding the efforts to give a
competent inspection, the service has
been unjustly attacked, the report as
serts. The incident at East ST. Louis is
recalled, and DIR. Melvin says the charges
there had their foundation in animus
and not in fact. In some cases other
attacks were the result of ignorance of
conditions or Misrepresentation of facts.
Thorough investigation of some cases of
ptomaine poisoning charged to meat
proved that in not one of the instances
could the trouble be properly ascribed
to that cause. In other cases typhoid
fever had been found in schools where
reports of ptomaine poisoning were cir
culated.
such instances says DR.. Melvin
SHOULD be sufficient to show that Gre
dence should not be placed in reports
rejecting against the meat inspection"
In force of $500 people engaged in
inspecting meat. DIR. Melvin declared, it
would not be unusual if some one were
found unworthy. All men are liable to
errors in judgment. and considering the
immense amount of meat inspected. If it
should happen that meat which should
be condemned were passed, the amount
was such an infintesimal part of the
entire quantity that it did not affect the
value and the integrity of the service

For Senator. E. b. Edasrton.

Experience 10 legislative matters is a
valuable asset for any candidate for the
Vermont house or senate, and the more
experience he has had the more valuable
the candidate will be.
One of the candidates for the nomina-
ton for senator from this section OF
Windsor county is f. II. Edgerton OF
Rochester, and the voters will make no
mistake in his nomination. Mr.. Edger-
ton is successful attorney at Rochester,
has served as town clerk for long term
Of years and has also been a selectman Of
the town for several years aud has Just
been reelected to that Office and that OF
town clerk. He represented his town in
the legislatures OF 1906 and 1908, and in
the session of 1905 he was member Of
the judiciary committee and also chair
man ofthe committee on elections. and
through both sessions his record was a
good one, and he was not one OF the
members voting for the salary grab meas
ure in that session.
Rochester has not been represented in
the senate for tweAty-four years, and be-
ing one Of the important towns of the
county, this fact, coupled with Mr.. Ed
gerton's ability and experience, would
seem to warrant his nomination. White

Foster Gets GOOD chaIrmanshIp.

Congressman David j. Foster OF YER
mont was appointed Thursday TO the
chairmanship Of the House committee on
foreign affairs. TO succeed the late James
Breck Perkins OF New York. thus giving
to Vermont one OF the most influential
positions in the lower branch OF Con-
gress. The announcement OF Mr.. Fos-
ter's appointment was warmly applauded
by his colleagues.
The craftsmanship OF the committee on
foreign affairs is recognized as a most de-
sirable post and has been graced 10 times
past by some OF the most brilliant lights
in Congress, among whom may be mem
toned Robert X. Hit of Illinois, who
was mentioned prominently for the vice
presidency and who was generally con-
ceded to be one OF the brainiest men that
ever occupied seat in the House Of Rep
ressntatives.
Congressman Foster has served ten
years in the House, having been elected
in 1900 from the first Vermont district,
after one OF the hottest campaigns YER
mont has ever seen. There we're several
candidates in the field, among them Con-
gresham II. II. Powers, who was out for
reelection. Since bis election in 1900 he
has had no opposition until 1908, when
two candidates appeared against him,
only to withdraw almost at the close of
the campaign. Congressman Foster was
born in 1857 and after preparation at st.
Johnsbury academy, entered Dartmouth
college, where be was graduated in 1850.
He was admitted to the bar in 1883 and
has since that date been engaged in the
practice OF law. He has held the offices
of states attorney OF Chittenden county,
state tax commissioner, state senator and
chairman OF the state railroad commits
