BAD MEAT SERVED.
Food Inspector Says 1t Was Regular
Thing on RooseveIt's Table.

Washington, Feb. THAT bad beef,
some of it ready to fall to pieces was
served at the White House during
President Roosevelt's occupancy was
the testimony of District Food Inspec-
tor Dodge today before the house COM
nittee, engaged in investigating the
high cost of living in the District of
Columbia.
Mr. Dodge stated that it was the GUS
tom of a steward at the White House
tc buy a quarter of beef and hang it
lFp until it was ripe. or ready to fall
tc pieces" as the inspector described
it, when it would be cut up and serveu
t.n the White House table. Members OF
the committee expressed disgust over
Mr.. Do6ge's revelations. Further, In
spector Dodge testified many of the
wealthy people of the national capital
were accustomed to eat from choice
meat that had turned black and was
well on the road to decomposition, be-
cause it was more tender.
He related an incident of one of his
visits to a fashionable Washington
market where he found quarter OF
beef, black and apparently unfit for
human food. He condemned it and was
about to pour kerosene over it, when
the proprietor inteffered and told him
he had many wealthy customers, who
always ordered from such pieces of
meat.
While the inspector was present a
footman from a wealthy family came
in and ordered a cut from the piece
" hich he had condemned.
Capitalization of canine appetites,"
commented Representative Johnson, of
kentucky, who asked Inspector Dodge
II this class of meat was kept in the
some coolers with beef intended for
civilized people"
The inspector replied it was.

AT MINIMUM RATES.
Articles Imported From Germany VIII
Be Admitted.

Washington. Feb. THE president
today issued a proclamation under the
provisions of the tariff act of August 5,
1909, in which he declares that from
and after March 81, 1910. all articles
imported into the United States or any
of its possessions, except the Philip
pine Islands and the islands of Guam
and Tutuila, from Germany are en-
titled to be admitted at the minimum
rates of duty prescribed by section 1
of the present tariff act.
The procla nation does not include
the German colonial possessions for the
reason that the department of state
has not had sufficient time in which to
investigate the question as to whether
such colonies unduly discriminate
against importations from the United
States. Inasmuch as the maximum
rates of the United States do not go
into effect until March 81 next, ample
time will be afforded to determine
that question
The proclamation is identical with
that published some days ago with
respects to Italy and several other
countries.

IT is NOT A PUZZLE

Oscar K. Swayze, who is out as a
candidate for county clerk and whose
cards have created considerable COM
ment, is making the campaign on his
merits, his knowledge of the work of
the office, and the further fact that he
has never held an elective office. Dur
ing his thirty-six years residence in
Topeka he has been a staunch advocate
Of Republicanism, and has been a per-
sistent opponent of the theory that a
public office should be a private snap.
He has held appointive positions,
goods in long hours and hard work at
the desk.
His card contains a request to
please vote for Swayze," and 1854
combinations of that sentence have
been figured without repeating all the
same letters in any two combinations

BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, March 29-Unspeak-
able barbarities are being perpetrated
in Granada under the direction of the
MadriZ government, according to Car
los Chamorro, a brother of the leading
insurgent general, Emilianoz CI1amorro,
who arrived here yesterday. Chamorro
declared, as an instance of cruelties
alleged to be practiced by the Madriz
adherents, that a wealthy plantation
owner, named Caronei, was recently
dragged from his home. whipped to
the point of laceration and finally
killed, because he refused to con-
tribute money in support of the Madriz
faction. Both male and female rela-

eminent, have been imprisoned, Cha

born legal fight is promised by the ad-
herents of the Madriz cause against
the sending out of proposed flibus-

ment. At the same time Gen. Y. D.
B. Gordon, an American soldier of for
tune who served with distinction in
Estrada's army and who is in this
city with the avowed intention of re-
cruiting forces and mastering arms to
carry on the warfare against Madriz,
declares that there is no law or FED
eral regulation which can stop him
from sending out an expedition to aid
the insurgent movement.
That an extensive filibustering expe-
dition from New Orleans will be sent
to Bluefields seems certain, unless
there should be some interference on
the part of the United States. Anthem

disappeared, having probably followed
the course OF the tide to the open

it was of a white female. Report OF
