Beef charges-very Abusive Ian
guaQe 10 Quoted In Statement.

Washington, May 16.-Congress will
receive a resolution in which an in
vestigation will be demanded into the
allegation that Secretary Wilson, So
licitor McCabe and DR.. A. D. Melvin
Of the bureau Of animal industry, are
Illegally employing the government
frank and government stenographers
in an attempt to stifie the inquiry into
the beef situation. Not only are these
officials conducting a campaign Of per-
sonal defense at government expense,
but they are using department facili-
ties to frame personal attacks on
members Of congress and witnesses
summoned to testify before the COM
mittee conducting the present investi-
cation.
Many members Of the house. among
them members of the committee on
rules, and Representative John M. Mel
son, whose resolution precipitated the
present inquiry, are thoroughly
aroused over the situation.
In support of the charge Of Mrs.
Scott Durand, society leader Of Chi
cago, that Arthur Meeker, general
manager Of Armour & Co., made use
of the government meat inspectors at
the Chicago stock yards to condemn
certain Of her prize cattle, indicating
a significant understanding between
the packers and the inspectors. Ma
rton B. Adams of sos East Forty
sixth place, Chicago, has filed a state
ment with Representative Nelson, who
Is pressing his resolution for an in
vestigation Of the meat inspection
service.
Adams was an inspectors assistant
at the Armour plant. Although he was
not present at the test of Mrs. Du-
rand's cows, he was in a position to
know Of the CONSERVATION among the
inspectors when 1t vas learned that
Mrs. Durand had secretly shipped the
condemned cattle to the Armour plant,
and the inspectors, not knowing they
were hers, found no disease and
passed them for food.
Furthermore, he was told by a
friend OF DR.. Bennett, inspector in
charge. that Bennett had used abusive
language in referring to Mrs. Durand
after she had trapped him into q dem
onstration Of incompetency. Adams
will be subpoenaed as 4 witness.

How Names Are Chosen.
The repetition of the names Freder-

the royal family Of Denmark is not
able. This repetition Is due to a FAM
lily law which requires that each son
shall bear the name OF either Fred

BY the same law the monarchs are
crowned alternately a Frederick or
Christian. Thus the successor of the
present king, whichever Of his sons

younger son Of the present king. This
