GOULD AMENDMENT
TO PURE FOOD Law
CAUSES SUSPICION
"Tolerances" and Reason
able Weight Variations
Offer Loopholes.

The House this week has passed a
measure making the pure food law more
lenient which is looked on with much
suspicion by the friends OF strict food
legislation and the believers In the strict
administration of such legislation.
The measure Is known as the Gould
amendment to the pure food law. 1t
has been given comparatively little
attention. 1t provides for what are
known as "tolerances." and for varia-
tions to a reasonable extent in the
weight or number OF articles put on
the market In packages, and which are
subject to the pure food and drugs
act
The law 'as 1t stands now requires the
weight or measure to be set forth on
the outside OF the package, and TO be
stated plainly and correctly. The
amendment provides that reasonable
variations shall be permitted and toler-
ance shall be established by rules and
regulations made in accordance with
this act"
In the form In which the author in
troduced the bill there was a provlso
intended to prevent manufacturers or
administrators of the law from abusing
that elastic word reasonable" This
proviso was that the variations allowed

and Wife Wants to Set
tie Business.

Frederick ]. Rice, receiver for the
business of Max H. Katz, the grocer
who mysteriouslY disappeared July s,
filed a report in the District Supreme
Court today, listing the assets at $S, 799. Y
and the liabilities at $2,27S30.
An inventory of the grocery stock in
the store at 1201 d street northeast was
taken by Joseph r. Castell and Charles
G. Wade, and their statement is at
tached to the report of the receiver.
In the report. which was filed through
Attorney Alexander H. Bell, a recon-
mendation was made that the business
should be sold. as 1t could not be car
ried on at profit. Accordingly, Justice
Barnard issued an order 10 that effect.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Mamie
Katz, wife of the missing man. who
claimed that the property virtually be-
longed to her. She informed the court
that katz was a clerk In a dry goods
store in Atlanta, Ga. when she married
him. and that he simply managed her
business affairs.
Receiver Rice informed the court to-
day that the whereabouts of Katz -

Restraint Is Killed.
The proviso in question has been left
out of the bill as II passed the House,
and the question now is whether the
manufacturers, II the bill becomes

the tolerances or variations allowed to
reduce the averages.

ASKS $4,000 HERE
TO FIGHT PLAGUE
Secretary MacVeagh Sends Com
missioners' Request to the
Senate.

Secretary Macveagh has sent to the
Senate a communication OF. the District
Commissioners submitting a special
estimate Of appropriation for $4,000 to
enable the Commissioners to adopt and
enforce protective measures in the Dis
trict against the Introduction and
spread of the plague. 1t is intended to
supplement the activities of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service.
The knowledge that the plague has
gained a foothold among the rats of
New Orleans is the reason for the
precautionary measure. The Commits
sioners fear the disease will be intro
duced here. President Taft has ap-
proved the estimate.
The Commissioners. in a letter to Sec
retary MacVeagh. said the money was
needed for the employment OF personal
services and maintenance of the neces-
sary horses and wagons.

BEEF PRICES WILL
REMAIN HIGH LONG
. time, SAYS AGENT
Representative of Packer
Sees No Immediate Hope
for Relief.

Barring few fluctuations that will
probably be slight, and will certainly
not be lasting, the price of beef will
not fall for three years. according to an
opinion expressed today by the local
manager of one Of the biggest packing
houses in the country.
His opinion, he said, Is based on his
knowledge that even at the present
high prices, the packers are selling
every pound of beef they can get their
hands on. The matter is. in his opinion,
simply one of supply and demand. THE
supply is very low," he said, land we
have no reason to believe 1t will be
materially increased within the next
two or three years"
''The quotations of 10 and 10ls cents
in Chicago" said the manager, ARE
certainly the highest since the civil war.
Meat dealers are suffering, especially
the small retailer, but do not see how
the price Is going to be lowered with
the supply as low as II Is.
Lies With Farmer.
The only relief to the situation lies
with the farmer in the corn belts, who,
with improved methods Of farming,
may take advantage OF the price he can
now command and raise more cattle.
But 1t will take several years for the
erect of this to come about, and until
thenwe may expect prices to remain at
least as high as they are"
I'VE are selling every bit of meat
We can get" he continued, land I am
informed from headquarters that they
are having trouble filling orders from
the various branches. or course, the
sales haye fallen OFF a great deal on
account Of the high prices, just as they
do in any other commodity. but the de-
mand has not decreased as fast as the
supply. 1t all goes back to the law of
supply and demand"
Blames Droughts.
The local manager agreed with the
opinion expressed recently by M. F.
HORNE, statistician of the Union Stock
Yards and Transit Company, in Chicago,
that the decrease in the supply of cat
tile is caused by the droughts Of 1909 and
1910 throughout the Southwestern re-
gions and Mexico. and the general
drought of 1910. which extended through
all the western and Southwestern range
duced the already deficient supply OF
young stock. and the scarcity of cattle
was inevitable, according to Mr.. HORNE
Whether prices will fall after two
or three years depends on whether the
farmers take advantage Of the high
prices now paid for cattle and raise
more live stock. 1t is reasonable to
assume that this will be the case. and
II 1t Is. prices will drop. This opinion.
of course, does not take into account
any droughts like those of 1909 and 1910.
