PARIS, June 10.-The artists colony
on the left bank OF the Seine Is talking
a great deal OF q recent episode In
the life OF one of their number, an
American from a large city In the ex-
treme northwest, who was sent to
Paris to study painting by group OF
moneyed men OF his own community.

This man. who may be called John

became popular among certain roman
tic Young women who are studying art
or literature there. He was much seen

CANADA ID FIGHT
 BEEF TRUST
DOMINION PREPARING 4 DEATH BLOW FOR THE BEEF
 OCTOPUS

DETROIT-Detroit wholesale meat dealers are much interested con, corning an interview with Joseph Letter, of Chicago, printed in that city recently, in the course of which the Chicago millionaire makes statement to the effect that Can ada is about to lift the tariff on live cattle and is building an extensive string oi packing houses to take care cf cattle from the northwest
 rn section of tke United Sta'es which will he drawn across the border by the reduced tariff.
 Mr Letter is quoted as express ing the opinion that Canadians are aiming a death blow al the beef | trust.
 Mackenzie & Mann the railroad magnates, backed by millions oi English capital are said to be the men behind the project. The three 1 transcontinental lines of Canada and the waterways from Port Arthur tC the coast are pointed to as offering superior transportation advantages | over United States lines
 According 10 the interview, Hon Mr Fielding is said to have remark ed about a year ago in a talk with MT Letter;
 "Suppcsa Canada were to lift the tariff from American cattle; sup i pose that with our railroads and waterways, and by the building of system of packing houses. We were enabled to take care of tens of thousands of cattle from the Northern States. and turn them into dressed beef, supply Canada and the foreign markets, and take from the American beef trust it's most i'm portant source of supply. what then would happen to the beef trust?"
 The American is said to have an swered
 You would seriously cripple if not break the trust"
 MT, Fielding then remarked. it is reported
 That is precisely what intend to do."
 Chicago packers either deny know ledge of the scheme or refuse to discuss it.
 The existing Canadian duties upon live cattle are: British preference l5 per cent; intermediate tariff P 1 ? per cent. general tariff, which applies to the United States. 25 per cent.

 QUESTION
Meeting Held Yesterday Afternoon at Which Plans Are Laid for an Appeal for Aid
 From the Government

The most feasible plan for the set. tlement of the "indigent' question in Alaska is to secure an amendment To the bill known as the Detention Hospital bill enlarging the scope of it's relief by giving to the United States marshal ll each division the care of the inuigents. with authority 10 treat them in such manner as the circumstances will warrant in each particular case
 The above resolution ~hs,l was passed ar the meeting held yesterday afternoon in the marshal's office em bodied the sense of those present, and il vas agreed that Judge Over. field. Marshal II K Love and Dis trict-Attorney ] ] CrOssley. with such assistants as they might wish 10 call 10 their aid. should draw up a bill 10 be submitted 10 the proper authorities at Washington. Copies of this bill will be sent 10 the governor uf Alaska. the delegate and such other friends of Alaska who might advance its interests. With the bill will go a report compiled by the government and city authorities and the frat ernal organizations of the amount of aid that has been extended through those bodies to indigents in the past two or three years. Any person who has knowledge of private subscriptions having been raised other than through one of the sOCie- ties. is requested to furnish the in formation 10 one of the members of a committee appointed yesterday by Mayor Nordalc This committee con. sists of the presidents of the fra tcrnal organizations. the representa- tiv,s of the two hospitals, the city officials Judge Overfield, Marshal Love. and Bistrict-Attorney Crossley
 In the meantime. as it will be some considerable lime before action can be had on any bill that may be introduced. d wire will he sent to the attorney general, signed by the fed. eraI officials here and the mayor asking hat pending relief by any bill now before congress, because ot fha urgent necessities prevailing on account of hard times and winter coming on the support of prisoners fund be made available immediately for he care of such indigents in this division as the marshal under the supervision of the district judge and the district-attOrney shall con sider of urgent need of such assist ance."
 This telegram will be sent at once anI ir is hoped that The neces -ary permission will be granted. In case satisfactory answer is return. cI the greater part of the difficulty will have been overcome and there
The Alaska citizen., 1910-10-31

will be reasonable likelihood of the suggested bill being put through.
 Considerable discussion was en- gagged in as to what was the best manner to relieve the situation and there was some argument as to whether 1t would be better to ask for direct appropriation or to try to get the scope of the detention hospital bill increased
 II was shown that the locai hos pitals had been run al very large loss every year and that this condi. tion arose, principally, because so many indigents had to be cared for. The general sense of the meeting was that no third hospital was neCes- sary. but that the detention hospital should be used more in the nature of a poor house. When medical treat. ment was necessary the marshal could send the patient to one of the hospitals
 The plans suggested all has refer ence 10 the country at large. as it k realized that there is little chance of getting legislation passed applica- hle only to this district. and that the same conditions exist in the other divisions as pertain here.
 A letter which had been written to Mrs. l.. l.. James by Governor Clark on the subject was read In it th governor stated that he was heartily in sympathy with any scheme which would bring alleviation of the situation, and he referred to the bill which Senator Nelson purposed t, off ha l., bill appropriates ! per cent of the Alaska fund To the purpose
 Mayor Nordale, who had data pre- pared as to the expenditure made by the city for indigent purposes. stat ed that the bills for this purpose for the last three years had amounted to more than fifteen thousand dol lars. lt was stated that 21 per cent of the business of St Matthew's hos pital had been on account of indigents and Dr Sutherland stated that ur until a year ago about 40 per cent of the business done by the doctors had bcan of a similar nature Father Monroe for St. Joseph's hospital stated that indigent business al that instituted amounted 10 about s700 a month.
 At the meeting yesterday. which adjourned 10 meet again next Sun day, there were present the district judge the marshal. district-attorney. the mayor. several of the city coun- cil Father Monroe and Rev Buisch representing the hospitals. officers of the Pioneers. Eagles Arctic Brother hood. Masons and representatives of t' . newspapers.
