SUING THE MEAT TRUST.

g UIfS for damages brought by a man in New York against
~ the meat trust suggest a means of attack upon the trust
by consumers of the trusts canned meats. The prosecu.
% IN these cases bought canned smoked pork and by the eating
thereof his wife and three sons contracted trichina. The hogs
that were slaughtered for the pork were therefore diseased
were passed as proper food by the federal inspectors and packed
for the market by the trust. There are frequent cases of pto-
maine poisoning and other sickness traceable to canned goods
and if damages are collectable in such cases that fact alone
will give a protection to the consumer for which he cannot look
to federal inspection.

Cupid Incensed at License Law.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Let me call attention through the col
umns of your paper to the unhappiness
and often ssmen caused by that
clause in the State statutes which makes
1t impossible for two people to become
married until twenty-four hours after
their marriage license has been issued.
What is the advantage of this condi-
ton and what good has ever been derived
from 1t?
Within the past fortnight two unions
have been prevented by that clause. In
both instances death claimed one of the
contracting parties before the twenty
four-hour limit had expired. Two souls
had been separated from their mates by
whit I consider an unnecessary preca,i-
ton.
How many roinances are blasted by this
unromatie condition? The lives of many
a youth and damsel are made unhappy be-
cause they were discovered in an attempt
ed elepement before the fatal twenty-four
hours had passed and the wrath of par
ents descended on their innocent heads In
an uncalled for outburst.
Let us hope that his unromantic lin
drance to immediate marriage will DON
be removed. A. VICTIM

HARMON PROSPECTS IN ONO.

TN ARMON carried Ohio twice for Governor. In 1908, when
III Taft for President carried Ohio by 69,591 plurality,
Harmon was elected by 1892. In 1910 Harmon carried
Ohio by 100,377 plurality. In Ohio tomorrow the great
popularity evidenced in the two State elections is opposed by
the influence of Mr.. Bryan. If the Nebraska statesman had kept
out of Ohio Harmon would have been practically unopposed. AS
it is he will probably carry Ohio and secure its solid Democratic
delegation.

eve, that Hackenschnidt expects 10 re-
enter the lists in the fall and If Curley
cares to agttate for a third match with
Gotch the Russian will hold himself sub
ject TO Curleys orders.
There is something about Curley which
suggests that he will be equal to the Oc-
casion. There is a suspicion that he is
already at work upon a Hackenschmidt-
Goteh tussle, and there is a further sus-
picion that San Francisco will be the
scene Of the third annual catch-as-cateh-
can reunion between the two greatest
wrestlers Of modern times"

has for the Mediterranean fly, But times
change and occasionally sporting crowds
change with them. and maybe the far
west can be brought to look upon q
Gotch- Hackenschmidt match with favor.
1t begins to look as thought the pugil-
istic date war between San Francisco and

threaten the welfare OF the boxing game.
II Is quite possible that Coffroth and

later In the year when Graney wants TO

at DAILY City the fur will fly. For Coff-
roth and Graney are implacable enemies.
Coffroths staple argument is that his

solely and that he can only use 1t on

To this Graney is reported to have said:

Just a matter OF few seconds separates

in the world to make curley drop Flynn

Jack becomes semi-emotlonal. in fact.
when telling OF how Hackenschmidt.
rather than disappoint the public. went
into that other match at the White Sox
park, Chicago. with wrenched ligaments
and splintered bones.
II memory serves, the public was not
let into the secret Of Hackenschmidt s
injuries until after the match took place.
There is reason to believe that quite a
number of persons knew that the Russian
Lion had hurt one of his paws seriously.
According to Curley the services Of at
least one eminent surgeon were required
to bandage Hacks crippled limb in such
a way that the Lion might make a
bluff at engaging in a wrestling bout
with Gotch Of Iowa.
And isn't 1t quite clear how Hscken-
schmidt saved the public from disap-
pointment? lie remained silent about his
incapacity and allowed the biggest crowd
that ever paid Its way to a wrestling
event TO gather in the expectation OF
seeing a genuine match, And right there
was where the real disappointment
came.
