Modern Conditions.

Booth Harrington, at a dinner In
Indianapolis, praised the English MI
ners for striking for minimum wage
of five shillings a day. "The poor
fellows" said Harrington, "only aver
age five days work week. Thus the
minimum they demand is only 20
shillings, or $6.25. I hope with all my
heart they get it." Mr.. Harrington
paused to light one Of his Egyptian
acknowledgements as big as small
cigars-then he continues: What's
the world coming to? They are re-
ducing wages at such rate that now

Stick to tho Boys.

While General Baden-Powell was In
America he told Colonel Livingstone,
the president Of the American boy
scouts, of his conference with King
George. Naturally 1t was desired by
his sovereign that he devote his life to
the army, but when he had returned

on the African veldt, he felt that his
real life must be devoted to the boy
scout movement. He so informed the
king, but as a loyal subject he bowed
as he said: Il leave it to you. your
majesty, what shall It BET" "The
army" replied the king. Then I am
to abandon the English boys. Who 10
going to take up the task?" The king
reflected a moment and then replied:
stick to the boys, Baden.Powell." In
that moment by the wish and com.
mand of his sovereign. the life work

ICED BEEF, TEA Is EXCELLENT
During Hot Weather 1t Will Be Found
More Acceptable Than the Hot
Beverage.

Where beef-tea is required on hot
summer day it is sometimes more &C
ceptable to the invalid if served iced,
and in condensed form. Prepared as
follows it is quite palatable: Cut up
a pound of lean, juicy sirloin steak in
to pieces of about two inches square
Grease a clean pan with butter and
put 1t on a fire of red-hot Goals, and
as soon as ever the pan Is hot toss
the pieces of steak in it, turning them
rapidly this way and that way with a
fork until scared on every side.
See that not drop of juice is in the
pan, and that each separate square
of beef is thoroughly heated through
before you finish your work.
Take the pieces now, one by one,
and squeeze through a wooden lemon
squeezer which has been standing in
boiling water into cold bowl Ex-
tract all the juice from the piece, and
you will have the finest beef essence.
Set the bowl in pan filed with
cracked ice The GOODNESS of the beef
essence-which you serve in a tum-
bier, having added the necessary salt,
and with tiny triangle of toast-does
not affect its qualities

STANLEYS REPORT
HITS STEEL TRUST
Prices Fixed and Territory As
signed at Gary Dinners
WIDE PUBLICITY Is URGED
j. p. Morgan and Associates Are
Called BenefcIaries of Enormous
Profits~Corporation Denounced
az Labor's Enemy.

washington, Aug Corrected more
than year ago to investigate the
United States Steel corporation, the
report to the majority of the commit
tee of the house of Representatives
was submitted to the house Friday by
Representative Stanley of Kentucky,
the chairman. J. P. Morgan and his
associates are held UP as being bene-
nclaries of enormous profits realized
from the overcapitalization of the
subsidiary companies of the steel cor
poraion and later OF the corporation
itself.
Former President Roosevelt is in
dlcted for making the control of the
steel trust absolute and is charged
with being responsible for the gigan-
tic stature the trust has attained.
The steel corporation is called an
enemy of organized labor and is &C
cused of lowering the condition of it's
employees and of contributing to Amer
lean industry workmen and work
methods un-American and foreign
to the best interests Of labor
Legislation recommended by the
majority consists of three bills. One,
commonly known as the Brandels bill,
is designated to give an injured party
the right to begin suit to prevent or
ganization of a combination in re-
straint of trade. This bill also trans
fers the burden of proof to the defend
ant corporation to show that it is a
combination within reasonable re-
straint Of trade" Another bill would
provide that mo person engaged in an
individual or as a member of part
nership or a director or other officer.
or an employe Of corporation, in the
business, in whole or in part, Of manu-
featuring or selling railroad cars or
locomotives or railroad rails or struc-
tural steel, or mining and selling coal,
shall act as a director or other officer
or employe OF any railroad company
which conducts an interstate COM
merce business" The third bill is in
tended to hit at the system OF inter
locking directorates and would sepa-
rate industrial from railroad business.
In speaking of watered stock, the
majority comment is:
In some instances stocks were not
'watered' in the ordinary acceptance
Of that term; they were deluged.'

FOR DINNER IN WOODS
VARIOUS DAlNTiES THAT BELONG
TO THE PICNIC MENU.
Veal Loaf Always Faithful Standby
Deviled Eggs Preferable to Plain
Hard Boiled-Frie6 Potatoes
Add Zest to Meal.

veal loaf is always appetizing in
the woods. An excellent recipe is:
Three pounds and a half of finely
chopped veal-the leg is best-miNsd
with thee well-beaten eggs, into which
Is stirred a grated nutmeg, table
spoon each of black pepper, thyme and
salt, a teaspoonful of onion juice and
a dash of cayenne. Add three table
spoonfuls of cream and three water
crackers rolled fine. Mix in long
loaf, dot with butter and bake about
an hour in a moderate oven, bast1nS
frequently.
Veal loaf may be sliced thin and
packed in paraffin paper in a fit box,
but dries out less if taken 20 the pic
mic whole Garry a sharp carving
knife, as thick slices are unappetizing
Deviled eggs are usually more pop
ular than plain hard boiled ones. Boil
the eggs fully half an hour, throw
at once into cold water and do not
shell until chilled. Cut the eggs in
half lengthwise, run the yolk through
a sieve and mix to q paste with
salt spoon of mustard, cayenne pep
per, salt and a tablespoonful of finely
chopped parsley to a dozen eggs. OH
or melted butter can be used for mix
ing the paste.
DeviIed eggs carry better if both
halves are filed, then put together
and each egg wrapped In waxed pa
per- Or they can be put in a shallow
tin box, with waxed paper between the
layers On hot days keep the box
near the ice on reaching the picnic
grounds.
If each one brings certain allot-
ted portion, one could take fresh eggs
for crambling-allow three for each
persona small preserve glass of but
ter, salt and pepper and skillet or
a chatting dish, whichever is more
convenient.
Nothing is better than fresh scram-
bled eggs at a picnic unless 1t is
fried potatoes. Boil the potatoes at
home-in their jackets-and take
good supply Of butter for frying. A
pound can be carried in tin kettle
with ice packed around it. Have
sharp knife for slicing and a fork
or short cake turner for stirring.
Leftover cold chicken or veal makes
an excellent hot dish for a picnic, Cut
the meat into small cubes at home
and wrap in waxed paper Make
white sauce from a tablespoonful but
ter and one of -four to every point OF
milk This Is the allowance for a
quart of meat. Season highly with
salt, pepper and little onion juice.
An appetizing sandwich for picnic
is made from slices of brown bread on
which is spread a mixture Of chopped
green peppers, to which is added a
Fan of sweet peppers or pimentos, a
little minced parsley bound together
with a highly seasoned mayonnaise.
Where hot sandwich is liked for
a picnic, have two thin slices Of
white bread buttered; spread one
with little chutney, the other with
grated Parmesan cheese. Fry an egg,
place it on the cheese, and press the
other half we'll over it.

LIEUT., BECKER IN
NOT GUILTY PLEA
Police Official Is Not Present in
Court.
DEATH THREATS ARE SENT
Gangsters Get Notes to Two AIieqed
SIayers of Rosenthal, Advising
Them to Keep Their
Mouths Closed.

New York. Aug Police Lieuten-
ant Chas. Becker on Monday was ar
raigned for amended pleading before
Judge Grain in part one general SEES
sions. On application of the district at
torney, however, the hearing was
transferred to the court of Judge Null
queen, where the proceedings were
first begun. John w. Hart, coun-
sci for the deposed police official,
withdrew Becker's first plea of mot
guilty" and entered motion for dis
missal of the charge on technical
grounds This motion was overruled.
Judge Mulqueen decided that the
proper date for the hearing, accord
ing to the papers in the case, is Au-
gust Z and set the hearing on the
motions over to that date, whereupon
still under indictment, but without
any plea before the court
Belief that the desperate East side
gangsters and gun fighters who hang
around the criminal court building
will attempt to silence the lips of the
'squealers" in the Rosenthal murder
mystery by killing them was intensi-
fed by two death notes.
One of these notes was received by
Lieutenant Becker. 1t read: IF you
do not want to follow Rosenthal, keep
your mouth shut" The other was
sent to "Bridgy" Weber, also a
prisoner in the West side jail. 1t read:
Take our advice and keep your
mouth shut
Jack" Rose and Assistant District
Attorney Frank Moss are also on the
death list
How these letters reached the pris-
oner is mystery, but they SO terri
fed Rose and Weber that an ad-
ioUrnment of Roses arraignment be-
fore Coroner Feinberg was secured
until August 10. Becker paid little
attention to the note. Rose is in a
condition of complete collapse, and
his brother, Morris Rose, declares the
gambler will die of fear unless some
thing is done for him.
The board of aldermen provided. in
special session, for the appointment
of a special committee of nine of it's
members to investigate the police de-
partment. An appropriation of $685.
600 was made to pay the expenses of
the investigation. Corporation Coun-
sci Watson informed the aldermen
that he would insist on heading the
legal force of the Investigators, and
that the probe would be thorough.
