state will accept no bonds furnished

on ex-State Treasurer Glaciers bonds,

the Glazier bank at Chelsea. The at

to prevent the company from doing
business in the state, the state has the

MEAT PROBE in
FEDERAL court
Evidence Will Be Presented to the
Grand Jury in Chicago on
Meat Prices.
COMES BEFORE JUDGE LANDIS
Four Big Chicago Packing Concerns
Are Being observation-disclosures
They Are Seeking to Con-
troll Prices of Meat.

Chicago. Jan. 24-The work of pre-
pairing the case OF the government
against four big meat packing concerns
os this city to ascertain whether they
were operated to control the prices of
fresh meats was begun in earnest I'm
the federal court today. A special ven-
lre of jurors appeared before Judge
Lands and 23 men were chosen to
compose the grand jury that is to hear
the evidence and decide whether indict-
ments shall be returned against the
packers.
Every precaution has been taken to
keep the identity of the witnesses a
secret. A large number of secret SER
vice operatives have apparently been
brought here from other cities and it
is believed they will be used in serv-
ing subpoenas as well as i'm supplying
the evidence gathered during the in
vestgaton. At the city offices of the
National Packing company it was said
no subpoenas had been served.
Every possible effort to avoid the
spectacular in serving subpoenas
throughout the case will be made by
United states District Attorney Sims.
according to the announcement made
today and in many cases the subpoena
will be served by the secret service
operative IL is said and he will remain
with the witness from the time of serv-
ing the subpoena until the witness has
completed his testimony before the
grand jury.
New York at the Front.
New York, Jan. 24.-New York today
is in the thick of the fray for the re-
duction Of the cost of living. A grand
jury investigation into the meat ques-
ton Is pending, a prosecutors inquiry
into the cold storage situation has
been begun, meetings OF protest against
the high prices of food products have
been called. pledges for abstention from |
meat are being numerously signed, and |
an inquiry into the alleged milk COM
bne has been begun by a grand jury. |
The city thus gives ample evidences
Of deep seated interest i'm helping to
find the solution to the problem which |
has aroused practically the entire |
country to action.

ovER-PRoDUCTIo IN DOCTORS

The United States supports too
many physkians. While Europe
maintains the proportion OF one ply
sician 10 every 1900 inhabitants. the
United States has a physician for eve-
ry 5ss. This over-production Is due
TO our numerous low-grade medical
schools and TO the laxity Of our laws
governing them"
Henry s. Pritchett. OF New York
president OF the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancemnt OF Teaching
made this assertion in an address be-
fore the Council on Medical Educa-
tion OF the American Medical Associa-
tion.
I'VE have In this country" he con-
tlnued. about $50 medical schools
or more than are 20 be found In the
whole OF Europe. Each OF our schools
In the last ten years has graduated so
many physicians and surgeons that
the over-production has become enor-
nous. We have twice as many ply
sicians per 100000 of population as
England. four times as many as
France and five times as many as
Germany
"Our low-grade medical schools,
sanctioned by our lax laws. are largely
responsible. IL Is admitted that the
training OF doctors from the low-grade
schools Is poor. but II Is constantly
asserted that these doctors are needed
for tho rural regions. Our investl-
cations show that more expenslvely
trained doctors go into the country
just as the poorly trained doctors do"

Florence, March 2.-United Circuit
Court Judge Brawley today directed
verdict for the plaintiffs In the suit
brought by Alex Sprunt & Son, of
Wilmington. against Hurst-Streeter
company OF C-hera~~ for about $1,000
difference which they aliese the plain
this required To pay for cotton which
defendants had contracted to deliver
and failed TO furnish October 1. at
the price OF 10 cents per pound.
The defendants contended that the
contract was invalid under the State
law prohibiting dealing In futures, but
the court held that I'm the absence OF
any clause providing for a settlement
OF any differences upon expiration
other than delivery of spot cotton. the
contract was valid. This Is the first Of
many such suits brought in state and
federal courts by this firm In the Car
olinas and Georgia.
Counsel for the defense gave notice
of appeal to the court of appeals in
Richmond.

From The Daily Item, March 2.


In the trial of John Simmons yes
terday it was brought out that whis-
key was being sold in a meat mar
ket on Main street. Simmons testified
that he did not sell any whiskey, but
wanting a drink, he went out and
bought the whiskey. He told where
he got it and at the recess hour, took
the detectives to the place.
The place is a market in front OF
the postoffice, run by Mr.. D. M. Camp
bell. who took charge Of the place the
first of the year. 1t was run prior to
that time by Hogan & Son.
When the detectives went in they
made an examination Of the place and
behind the large refrigerator found a
trap door, and down under the house
was found stored the whiskey the ne
gro spoke Of.
Mr.. Campbell is a citizen who has
been above reproach, and no one
thinks he had any knowledge Of what
was going on.
The market is an innocent enough
looking place. The refrigerator is
made of oak, and is very neat In ap-
pearance. The front looks as if it has
three pannels, whereas an examina-
ton from the rear will reveal that
there are but two. Between the re-
frigerator and the south wall is a va
cant space, and in the floor is q we'll
concealed trap door,
The flooring under the refrigerator
is new. having been put there some-
time within the past year, to all ap-
pearances. The trap door was put in
when the flooring was put down
There is no evidence that it was put
there since then.
DeLeon Kennedy, colored, was en-
ployed by Mr.. Hogan, and when the
business was turned over to Mr..
Campbell. DeLeon continued with the
market. Saturday afternoon when the
police begun making arrests for SELL
Ing whiskey, DeLeon left for parts un-
known, and has not been heard of
since. 1t was he that has been sup
plying the booze from that establish
ment. While Mr.. Campbell was busy
IN the 'front.' DeLeon, presumable busy
at the work of his employer, was dis
pensing booze. At the first sign Of
danger he took to the tall timbers"
and has not been heard of since.
After the recOnvening Of court Tues
day the Recorder, who had suspend
ed Judgment in the Simmons case
called the prisoner before him and
told him, that, in view Of the fact
that he had stated that he had
bought the whiskey from another, and
the place where he said he got it had
been searched and the whiskey found.
he would be discharged and the case
against him dismissed.
simmons is in very bad state Of
health, and turning him loose seems
an act Of mercy. 1t is doubtful If he
would have lived through a chaingang
sentence. This action on the part Of
the Recorder is generally approved.
