CHILLED BEEF
BEATING ITS WAY

In light of the fact that the United
States Army in Hawaii is already re-
ceiving its beef supply from Austria
liza, and that it is reported that eff
forts are to be made to introduce the
product even more generally in the
Territory, a special consular report on
the subject recently issued is of in
terest. The beef now being sent out
from both Australia and New Zealand
is known as chilled beef and diff
fers from the ordinary frozen meat.
For some time Australia has been
shipping this beef to England, and a
number of shipments to New York
city, it is said, have been well re-
ceived. Lately New Zealand has been
endeavoring to get into the same mar
kets and the following is an account
of an experimental shipment. The
fact that the time required for transit
is over twice as long as to Hawaii,
combined with the prices secured, is
significant An extract from the re-
port by the United States consul fol
lows:
An experimental shipment of chill
ed beef from New Zealand to Lon
don, was made on March 16 of this
year, on a ship which locked at Lon
don on May 4. The beef was market
ed at Smithfield on May 5, and, &C
cording to advices received here, sold
for about IL cents per pound above
the prices of frozen beef, which were
91a cents per pound for kinds and
81 cents per pound for fores.
1t is said that the shipment of chill
ed beef from New Zealand attracted
the attention of all the prominent deal
ers at the Smithfield market and was
much commented upon because Of the
softness and dryness of the meat, the
firmness of the fat, and the absence
of Objectionable odor. The beef was
described as not much resembling the
general chilled beef from South ant
North America, but rather home-killet
beef hung in a dry atmosphere. Par
of quarter that had purpOsely beer
sent considerable distance and ther
cooked in the ordinary way for the
table was found to be tender, full o
flavor, and equal to any beef wherever
grown. Further portions were exposed
to the atmosphere for week and still
found in good condition.
The beef thus shipped was chilled
under a patent secret process, ant
without the use of any chemicals what
soever, so it is stated. Owing to tn,
very dry surface of the beef after al
rival, it is suggested that elimination
of all moisture from the air is feat
ure of the process. The air in thu
chamber after arrival in London wa
found sweet and fresh, there being NJ
musty smell, and the general condition
of the meat was bright, fresh, and fret
from mildew.

KICKER HAS SOME
BACKING IN TOWN

The letter published in Saturdays
Star from a local business man, crit.
iczing the methods of the local stock
exchange, has called forth a good
deal Of comment from both brokers
and investors. The brokers state that
such kicks are made by persons who
have some personal axe to grind by
so doing, or who have had business
differences with one or more members
of the exchange.
On the other hand a considerable
number of prominent investors and
business men, who are apparently not
directly interested in the matter, en-
dorse the indictment of "Stocl;hold.
err in all particulars. They claim that
a good deal of the selling reported on
the board is not bona fide, but con,
sists of merely nominal transfers ar
ranged between brokers for the pur-
pose of affecting prices Of particular
stocks thus manipulated One in
weston stated yesterday that the Board
Ishould revise its rules so as to make
impossible this kind of practice, and
that the market quotations Of any
stock should not be subject to altera-
ton on sales of less than shares
equaling approximately $1,000 actual
value.

IN THE OIL FIELDS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.-That
the flats in the North Midway oil
field, between the line of the large
producing wells represented by the
Lakeview, Consolidated Midway and X.
T. & o. companies on the south, and
the gushers of the Honolulu and
Standard Oil companies i'm the Buena
Vista hills to the north, are becoming
proved territory and the center upon
which the eyes of oil men are turned,
is made evident by the recent activi-
ties in that territory. The Kern
Trading and Oil Company is the lat
est of the large producing companies
to take the cue and begin develop
ment work in that section. BY the
construction of a rotary rig on Section
10, 1924, this company has shown
that it, too, is going after the light
gravity oil on the flats in the Buena
Vista hills region.
The Lakeview No. 2 Oil Company,
on Section %, 1924, has encountered
tremendous gas pressure and has ex-
perienced two gas blowouts at a
depth of 4422 feet, and is now wrest-
ling with heaving shale formation. Be
tween the Pyramid and the Lakeview
No. 2, the Lakeview Annex, with q
we'll 400 feet deep, has also encoun-
tered heavy gas pressure. In addition
to the gas, this company has struck
| large deposits of sea shells, which also
indicate the proximity of oil-bearing
sand.
According to recent advices from
! Bakersfield, ]. NJ Dunn, Parker Barrett
and julius Fried, the original Lake
view owners, sold their gusher royalty
to the Union Oil Company and outside
parties for a sum in excess of so
cents. 1t is reported the figure was
! less than 80 cents but over 80.
| The report that the Standard had
bought the royalty oil for 80 cents,
which was published some weeks ago,
! was based on the fact that negotia-
tions then in progress indicated that
the Rockefeller company would buy it,
Later the negotiations were called off
and the Dunn-Barrett-Fried interests
closed with the Union for the bulk of
the oil. The Union, as owner of 81
per cent of the Lakeview stock, com
pleted the we'll which turned into the
big gusher. The Dunn crowd got J.,
100000 barrels for their share, netting
in excess of 100000 for their labors
: The NJ. & T. Oil Company, neal
MaricOpa, is down 23OO feet with its
second well and has hopes of striking
, the Lakeview gusher sand. At 1906
feet the casing was pulled Temporal
lily on account of having reached
some oil sand, but it did not prove
, attractive enough and drilling was re
/ sumed Well No. /, which was
brought in at 22OO feet, is makina
. 100 barrels a day, The oil brings 81
cents at the Standard storage, owing
to its being very high gravity.
1t is stated that wells in the vicin
ity of the Lakeview gusher, which is
silent, are taking on new life and
flowing stronger than ever, The Mar
icopa &c Oil Company has four good
wells within easy distance Of the old
gusher and they are making a nice
production. The company is not drill
ing any new wells at present, but viii
put down a we'll in the near future.

Payments of Debts Removes Receiver

Chicago - A wild shrek of JOY
burst from the throats of the inhabi-

that the blight" of being a prophet
who must take orders from the Federal
court had been removed from the
shoulders of Wilbur Glenn Voliva and
that the great estate left by John AL
exander Dowie had passed finally into
his hands.
The payment Of $7O0, 900 in Judge
Landis' court by Cobe & McKinnon,
Voliva's brokers, to Gus D. Thomas,
receiver for the estate, placed the ST.

overseers. Cobe & McKinnon were
secured in this payment by a $3.50, 900
bond issue.
From the moment the news reached
the city founded by Dowie there were
scenes of delirious joy in the streets.

"rhe Quality Of Mercy" {"

The difficulty of saying something
which, while not untrue, will yet not
wound, is one sometimes encountered
by those who know good music. All
such must admire The adroitness-as
well as the yelled contained in
the words of Marie Henriette reported
in A. s. Rappoport's life Of her hus-
band, Leopold II of Belgium. The
queen, herself author of the opera
Wanda" was devoted music-lover.
She was once compelled to listen to
a musician who was chiefly perform
ing his own compositions, which
clearly showed his lack of talent.
When he had finished. the queen
sweetly asked him to repeat one of
the pieces, as she had never heard
anything like it before. The artist
was fattered; and when he was ta-
king his leave. the queen added:
"Yours is a different style of music
from that of Schumann and Chopin,
and even Wagner. You cannot expect
the present generation to appreciate
you"
Il can we'll afford to wait" exclaim-
ed the composer, especially since
your majesty"
"Oh," said Marie Henriette, 'T am
only an incompetent outsider"
When he had gone. and her ladies
complimented her on her forbearance,
she replied

Of mercy; have shut my
eyes and my ears to the murder OF
several airs. Noblesse oblige."--

ITS A FAST, FAST WORLD
America, Land Of Business Strain,
Seems to Have Forgotten Po-
lteness.

The League of Politeness, which has
been formed in Germany, with branch
Offices in Italy and England, should
extend its helpful influence to Amer
ica. The rush and hurry of life in the
big American cities have brought ruin
to most of the ideals of courtesy
which the average American is taught
In childhood. The scramble for seats
in the subway car, the showing and
jostling in shops and around bargain
counters, the impatience with which
even fashionable persons push out Of
| theaters or tea rooms are one result
Of the feverish mental strain of this
hurrying age.
Men and women cannot do thou
sand things every day and scramble
through the social or business world
or think they cannot 1t takes time
to be courteous; time Is saved by hav-
ing no manners at all.
Table manners have become demor-
allied by the haste with which per
sons eat. The committing business
man gulps down his breakfast; the
woman of the household dawdles over
her breakfast without realizing it.
Food is eaten any old way and persons
say they are in hurry, while as a
matter of fact they spend more time
over meals in New York than they
do in London, Paris or Berlin. In res
taurants and hotels loud music is part
of the dinner The diners have for
gotten how to talk so far that they
demand loud music that makes conver-
sation impossible.
After dinner plates are pushed back,
elbows are planted on the cloth and
groups of men and women lounge over
tables.
IT is the nervous tension which
makes so much money for the chew
ing gum manufacturers. Nervousness,
incessant activity and the dry atmos-
phere combine to dry up the saliva.
The Americans are the greatest chew
ers of gum in the world. Yet this,
like most of our bad manners, Is d.
rectly traceable to the speed at which
we live.

GIRLS GO FARMING.

Citizens Resist and Fighting is Des-
perate = Marauders Trapped
and Burned to Death.

Victoria, B. c., March 2. Rendered
desperate by the famine, bands of
hundreds of starving refugees are row
ing through the stricken districts and
plundering and killing, and reign of
terror prevails. Some narrowing in
cidents are reported by arrivals by the
steamer Tamba Maru, which reached
port from the Orient today.
At Kunshan, walled village within
80 miles of Shanghai, the villagers,
after desperate raid in which stores
were looted and many killed, meted
out punishment, peculiarly Chinese in
its grim callousness, to the raiding
refugees. A band of more than 500
were surrounded in a compound and
burned to death.
The refugees had taken possession of
Kunshan and for two days ransacked
the stores of everything eatable, kill
ing or wounding all who resisted
Many villagers were slain and others
taken prisoners and held for ransom.
When the raiders moved on to
plunder the next village the Kunshan
people held council of war and or
ganized to pursue the refugees. They
came up with them in small village
and surrounded the houses. Gates
were locked and kerosene poured over
the houses and fired More than 500
perished in the holocaust.
The refugees took five prisoners in
to the compound in view of the be-
seigers and threatened to kill them un-
less the siege was raised and, on the
villagers pressing them back to the
burning buildings, they hacked the
five men slowly to death. Prisoners
were tied to stakes in the burning
buildings and were burned with their
captors.
A number of the refugees who es-
capped were reinforced by other bands |
and returned, and desperate fighting
ensued, in which many villagers were
killed. Troops were then sent for and
have been hurried to the scene.
