FOR THE HAMBURG STEAK
Best Method Of Preparing and Serving
tho Cheaper Cuts That May
BE Bought.

This name Is commonly given to in.
expensive cuts of beef chopped, sea.
soned a little. shaped into small balls
or into one large thin cake. and
quickly broiled in the way that ten
der steak would be. Owing to the
quick cooking much Of the natural fla.
vor of the meat is developed and re-
sained. Thefact should be kept In
mind that Hamburg steak must be
made from fresh. well.ground meat. It
Is much sale. to chop the meat at
home, as chopped meat spoils very
quickly. Much depends. too. upon
browning It sufficiently to bring out
the fiavors. Many cooks think that
Hamburg steak is improved if the meat
g mixed with milk before 1t is cooked.
In some parts Of the country, and
particularly in some of the Southern
states, two kinds of beef are on sale.
One Is imported from other parts of
he country and is Of higher price. The
other, known locally as native beef"
Is sometimes lacking in flavor and in
tat and is usually tougher Southern
native beef, such as Is raised in Flori
da. Is almost invariably, however, of
extremely good flavor, due presumably
to the feed or other conditions under
which it is raised. BY chopping such
meat and cooking it as Hamburg steak,
q dish almost as palatable as the best
cuts of the more expensive beef may
be obtained. 1t such cases, however.
It is desirable because of the low per.
centage of fat to add suet or butter to
the meat. The reason for this is that
In the cooking the water of he juice
when unprotected by fat evaporates
too quickly and leaves the meat dry
This may be prevented by adding egg
as we'll as fat, for the albumen of the
egg hardens quickly and tends to keep
In the juices. The proportion should
be one egg to TX pounds of meat.

Believed Result Demonstrates Rejec-

Washington. President Taft gained
victory when the senate, in the first
test vote on the Canadian reciprocity
bill, defeated, IA to 80, the amend
ment proposed by Senator Cummins
placing meats of all kinds coming
from Canada on the free list. The IA
votes cast for the amendment will be
undoubtedly cast against the passage

Of the senate with respect to other

compact.
The rejection of the first Cummins
amendment demonstrates that this ex-
pectation was well founded
On account of the absence of SO
many senators from Washington only
bare quorum voted. The vote was
as follows, the yea votes indicating
opposition to the Taft program:
Yeas-Republican Bourne,
Bristow, Clapp, Clark (Wyo.), Cum

An analysis Of the vote shows the
progressives voted as unit for the
.Cummins proposal. They were sup
ported by three Republicans usually
numbered among the regulars Clark
Of Wyoming, Sutherland of Utah and
Nelson OF Minnesota. Mr. Sutherland
always has been an independent and
Mr.. Nelson knows no ties with respect
to tariff questions. He is accounted
low tariff man.
The Democrats who voted against
the Cummins amendment did so on
the ground that its adoption would
open the door to countless other
amendments and result in the defeat
of the agreement.
Most of the Republicans who voted
against the amendment were actuated
by desire to comply with the presi-
dents wishes.

Mr.. Newlands' speech was in ad-

ure would separate the bureau of

LEHIGH VALLEY DEFENDANT
Test Case Is Filed In Attempt to Sep

Of MISUNDERSTANDING Is Al
legged.

Washington.-The government has
started a new campaign to bust the
coal trust" A test case was filed in
the federal court at Philadelphia
opening another fight to dissociate
the misunderstanding railroads from
their virtual control of mines and thus
vitalize the commodities clause OF the
Interstate commerce law.
That the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany, Coke Bros, Inc, the New York
G Middlefield Railroad and Coal com
pany and the Locust Mountain Coal
and Iron company are not bona fide
coal companies, but merely adjuncts
to the Lehigh Valley railroad, and are
devices for evading the commodity
clause" is the governments principal
complaint
1t is also alleged that the Lehigh
Valley railroad, with the object of re-
moving competition, has caused the
Lehigh Valley Coal company to con
tract at loss for the output of other
anthracite operators, has transported
the coat over its own lines and through
the coal companies fixed the price in
New York and other markets.
The government charges that al
though the buying of coal from other
operators has been done at loss to
the Lehigh Valley Coal company 1t
has enabled the Lehigh Valley rail-
road to transport. the coal over It's
lines and profit from the freight
charges
To support its claim that the coal
company is merely the dummy
through which the railroad engaged In
mining, transporting and selling coal
in violation of the commodities clause,
the government cities that the officers
OF the railroad and the coal company
are the same and that certain mem
bers of the directorate and the execu-
tive committee of the railroad are
members Of the directorate and execu-
tive committee of the coal company.
Among these named are Eben B.
Thomas, George F. Baker. E. T. Stotes-
bury and James A. Middleton.
Each Of them, 1t Is charged, has
been named to his position in the coal
company because Of his position with
the railroad.
1t is set forth that the coal company
uses the railroad company's offices
and does its business over the rail-
road company's desks.
AS further allegation that the Le-
high Coal company is an adjunct Of
the Lehigh Valley railroad, the gov
ernment's complaint says that since
the capital stock Of the coal company
has been owned by the railroad 1t has
paid no dividends, that millions of dol
lars have been advanced by the rail-
road to the coal company which have
never been refunded, and that the rail-
road has paid the interest upon the
coal company's bonds. being compen.
stated, the government claims, by the
earnings from transportation OF coal
over its lines.
