DR.. MELVIN RETURNS.
Home From Inspection Trip to New
England Stations

Dr. A. D. Melvin. chief of the bu-
reau of animal industry Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, has returned to
Washington after trip of several weeks
through New England. While there he
addressed the board of trade of Mont
pelier, Vt. on the methods iof the meat
inspection service. He also visited the
horse breeding station at Middlebury,
Vt, where breeding work has been car
rled on for several years with the Nor
gan horse.
There are now about forty-five horses
at the station, some Of them purchased
but the most of them bred there. Similar
work is being carried on at two other
of the department stations in Iowa and
Colorado. The Iowa station is crossing
shires with Clydesdales. producing very
heavy work horse. The Colorado sta
ton. on the other hand, is going in
more for speed and is breeding a heavy
carriage horse out of the. standard trot-
ter.
These experiments are all being carried
on with the cooperation Of the state ex-
pertinent stations. and as the horses de-
velop those that the department does
not want to keep for breeding are turn
ed over to the state to be used at other
state stations or to be sold at auction.

Q.-How did he investigate?
Ale went to one of the biggest bank

Q.-But which plant did he visit?
Ale didn't visit any plant. He didn't
have to.
Mrs Bull thus described a stormy inter
view she had with Corbett before she
caused his arrest:

me. Mr.. Corbett came instead. 1t was

IF l were he. 1 would arrange this mat
ter before it gets into the hands of the
law Yoh don't want another scandal like
the Leon kresser case"
He said:
I'm satisfied that everything is all
right. 1 know where every penny of
your money is gone. Every penny went
into the plant. the plant at Newark
l was surprised. l thought that plant
was running. l asked him to give me the
names of three reputable men who were
to do so. 1 said: You must be skating
on thin ice if you can't give me the
names of three reputable men,"

and he tells me under no circumstances
should you leave your place as execu-
trix to any one; that it would be GRIM

the executor who is distasteful to
you. he will assuredly resign. 1t is
an unwritten law recognizable to all
men in such positions.

contained among other things a recipe

Portions of the letter from Qualey
to Mrs. Bull, dated June Is. and written
on the stationery Of the yacht Golden

estate Qualey estimated the estate to
be worth $106,535, and then wrote:

splendid shape. We must now deposi,
