Severe Criticism Of Sale Of Rotten
Eggs for Food in New York.

SCNcTc SIltIClSHl OF So'S - ''S~NS''
Eggs for Food in New York.
New York, Dec. 1.-SeVere criticism
of the bureau of food in vestigation OF
the health department of New YORK
for permitting the sale of spolled eggs
for food purposes and for to!crating
unsanitary conditions in connection
with the breaking of eggs sold in bulk
for use as food is contained in the pre-
li;nnary report of Raymond Il. Fos-
dick, commissioner of accounts, to
Mayor Gaynor, made public today. MI.
FOSdick recommends that some of the
evidence obtained during the investl-
gaticn his department has been max
ing be placed before the district attor-
ney for action.
The investigation showed, Mr.. Fos-
dick reports, that the sale of riots and
spots or decayed eggs, for use of food
was carried on widely. even if the
eggs were wholesome, which they were
not" he writes. ''the filthy condition
under which the eggs are opened and
handled in many of the places men
toned would be sufficient to condemn
them for food purposes.
THE responsibility for this condition,
the existence of which has been amply
sustained by our investigation, must
rest squarely upon the inspectors OF
the bureau of food inspection of the
health department."
The commissioner received informa-
ton today that contaminated meat was
being purchased regularly from deal
ers and restaurant proprietors and the
investigation will be continued so as to
include all branches of impure food
traffic.

George Byrne
Reveals Plan


steam railroads within the state. He
declared that every legislative nomi-
nee of his party was irreyocably pledg-
ed TO work and vote for the fulhliment
Of this and all other pianks Of the
platform; that they knew 1t, personal
~ wanted to have chance to do 1t,
and that they would do 1t II given the
Opportunity By the electorate next
month.
The effect OF Byrne's frank declara-
ton was electrical in the counties In
southern West Virginia. where the
race question is decidedly much a live
wire. The Democratic leaders, who
are running their party's campaign
this year, had been steering clear Of
mentioning the negro question, and
were hoping that 1t would remain dor
mant and buried In this off year cam
paign. But their hopes have been
blasted By the ardent Byrne, who has
fought against letting the negro vote
and giving him equal rights with
whites on railroad trains, for ten
years. Alr. Byrne is a Democratic
leader OF statewide prominence. a
splendid stumpspeaker and one OF the
brightest writer's OIL politics and poll
Is very sincere and ardent advocate
Is very sincere and ardent advoctc
but his whole soul is in this particular
issue. That many OF the Democratic
colleagues. who. for the sake Of polit-
zeal expediencyn do not agree with
him in keeping alive that Issue, espec-
tally in forcing 1t to the front in this
campaign when they have strong
hopes. doesn't Tease Mr.. Byrne. He
has touched off the fireworks and the
rockets are shooting and the pin
wheels are whirling, lighting up the
political heavens.
The Republican party managers,
who had become more or less distress
ed over the probability of losing much
of the negro vote, are melancholy no
more. They arc smiling at each other
and shaking hands with themselves
whenever they think OF that particular
and important phase OF the present
fight. They have the negro vote in
tact, clnchcd as It were, they say. And
1t looks decidedly that way.

system.
BY the Baltimore and Ohio in
the Distribution of
Freight Cars.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has put into effect new
method of distributing cars to the
companies that produce freight for
the road. Under the former system
the company called car car no
matter what the capacity of the car
was. A thirty ton car passed for the
same as a fifty ton car, but in the
new system adopted by the transpor-
tation company this is not true. A
thirty ton car is the unit and fifty
ton car is rated as car and half.
The new system will, it is said, be
more equitable one han the old
system was.
The thirty ton cars are made OF
wood and are known as wooden cars.
The company has cars that are of
forty tons capacity constructed OF
wood and cars of the same capacity
that are constructed Of steel. OF
these cars the wooden cars are rated
as car and the steel cars OF forty
ton capacity is rated as car and
half. There are wooden cars of fifty
ton capacity but these have always
been classed as steel cars. Under
the new classification all steel cars
and all cars classified as steel cars
are rated as car and half while
all wooden cars are rated as car.
At the present time coal operators
are finding it hard to get sufficient
cars to work their mines to their ca
pacity. This is due largely to the
eongested condition in the freight
that has come to the road. The new
work that is being done by the rail-
road company interferes with the
moving of the traffic: The head men
of the operating department have
been at Grafton for some time trying
10 get control of the situation. They
are succeeding now to some extent,
but have not mastered 1t yet. The
delay in the moving of the trains has
made car shortage in this section
very acute.
