ANXIOUS FOR A BOYCOTT
"Beef Trust" Would Welcome
Any Movement to Place Mar
ket on Healthier Basis.

NEW YORK. May 6.-That the meat
trust would welcome a movement by
housewives TO boycott meat dealers while
the present high prices are in force 10 the
statement made by the National Pro-
visoner today.
Some people seem to think that SUCH
a movement would be a terrible blow 70
the meat trade" says the journal, land
that meat would have to come down as a
result. Blow or no blow. such q move
ment will be hailed with Joy by the meat
men. There is nobody on earth more dis
turbed by existing conditions in the beef
market than the men who sell the beef.
The situation is perplexing ami serious.
III anybody can carry out a boycott or
any kind OF a movement which will read
just conditions of supply and demand
so that the beef market may be put upon
a healthier basis every man in the meat
trade will consider them his best friends
But II Is to be feared that neither the
Housewives League nor anyb ody else can
make corn and grass where there ism {
any. or induce farmers to feed cattle for
beef instead of selling the fodder for
cash."

DRYING WOOL.
A Hard Task to Do Properly-Som
Interesting Methods.

From the New York Sun
Wool drying is one of the principal and
serious operations in the wooden indus
try. The more gently and uniformly
the wool is dried, the better is the re-
suit attained, for should the wool be
slightly damp in some of it's parts the dye
does not take well and the result is an
unevenly dyed yarn which shows in the
texture of the woven goods.
Overdrying is also to be guarded
against. BY some manufacturers the
wool from the squeezing roller is whizzed
into a hydro-extFactor which drives out
so much of the moisture that the further
drying is easily effected.
The commonestt way of drying. how
ever, Is to spread the wool as uniformly
as possible over a framework of wire
netting under or over which is a range
Of steam-heated pipes. A fan blast blows
air over these hot pipes and the heated
air Is passed and forced upward or
downward. as the case may be, over the
layer of wool which rests on the net
ting. In this case, unless the wool is
spread with great evenness, 1t gets un-
4equally dried and at points where the hot
air escapes freely 1t Is much Overdried.
more rapid and uniform result may
be obtained by the use of a mechanical
wool drier, a close chamber divided into
horizontal compartments, the floors of
which have alternate fixed and moving
heating apparatus and fan by which
a powerful current of heated air is
blown up the side of the chamber and
through all the shelves and compart-
ments successfully, either following or
opposing the wool passing through the
ma chine.
The wool is introduced by. continuous
feed at one side of the chamber; the
strength of the blast carries 1t up and
deposits it on the upper shelf. and by the
action of the movable bars, which are
worked by cranks. it Is carried forward
to the opposite end, from where 1t drops
to the next lower shelf. and SO on II
travels to the extremity of the lower
shelf, passing out by the delivery lattice
we'll and evenly dried.

ASSA|lS BAHA| LEADER
AND PERSIAN VERAC|TY
DR.. C. Ernest Smith Declares
Missionary Should Not
Be Encouraged.

DR.. c. Ernest Smith preached yesterday
morning in st. Thomas Church, near
Dupont Circle. on 'Mohammedanism and
Its Persian Cult-Bahaism."
"A gentleman from Persia" DR.. Ernest
Smith said, has been travelling through
the United States and has lately been
here in the capacity of a missionary to
declare to us the things which belong tC
our place. For this he is worthy of all
honor Doubtless he Is a sincere and
high-minded man, who is profoundly cons
WINGED both of the truth and the i'm
portance of his message. Perhaps it is a
little unfortunate that the country he
comes from is in it's decadence, both
politically and morally.
According to Herodotus, the Persians
devoted a third of their educational
curriculum to training their children
to speak the truth, but today scarcely
an individual can be found willing to
tell the truth unless he has sometime
to gain by it.
''On examination it turns out that this
| missionary is simply a Mohammedan.
He therefore believes in the Koran, with
its polygamy and its sensual paradise
and that Mohammed Is superior to Christ
He Is not. however, an orthodox Moham-
medan. Few If any of the PersianS are

HIGHER COURT RULES.
FOR TRUE ACCOUNTING
0verruIes District Supreme
Bench in Directing Details
of Realty Transaction.

The District Court of Appeals appears
in an opinion handed down by Justice
the lower court and directed an account
ing by real estate firm for profit of
$2.s42 made on a realty transaction.
THE practice of real estate agents in
concealing from their principals" says
Justice Van Orsdel. "the conditions upon
which contracts of sale are procured
cannot be too severely condemned.
1.-The name OF the actual vendee, the
true consideration and every. detail en-
ployed by the agent in bringing the
parties together should be promptly dis
closed by the agent to his principal. and
for failure to do so the courts will up
hold the principal not only in repudi-
atfng the transaction. but in recovering
loss sustained by him or profit secured
by the agent.
Fraud Issue Eliminated,
in a case Of this sort the issue Of
fraud is eliminated. Where an agent
voluntarily places himself in a position
antagonistic to the interest OF his prin-
cipal, the court will not stop to con-
slider whether any fraud in fact exist
ed. or was even intended, or whether
the principal suffered loss The prin-
cipal has at his disposal the option Of
repudiating the entire transaction or
