Plant Threshed Out at
Special Meeting.

City Fathers do Their
Part.
TO TALK IT OVER
NIGHT

The city council will be called in
special session Wednesday night.
when the proposition or a modern,
sanitary slaughter house, as offered
by Peter F. Werstlein. will be taken
up. At a meeting with a subcommit-
tee Of the special health committee,
Mr.. Werstlein said he would erect a
slaughter house in compliance with
the city ordinance, provided the coun-
Gil would extend the sewer system to
the location selected and grant free
water for such time as it would take
to determine whether the plant would
be self-supporting.
The committee Is very much in
favor of the proposition and will urge
its acceptance by the city council. II
the proposition is accepted. the plant
will De constructed this fall and will
be located near the intersection of
Skidmore avenue and the Northern
Pacific railroad on the site of the old
brick yard.
According to the plans, the plant
would cost about $4,000. and will be
added to as the requirements demand.
While only q few men will be en-
ployed at first. Mr.. Werstlein is con-
fident that within four or five years
1t will be employing at least fifty.
The proposed plant would be able

also be provided. and the cooling will
be done by a chemical process. 1t is
proposed to have the local plant sup
ply the demand for neighboring
towns.
In connection with the slaughter
house, a department will be provided
for converting the offal and refuse
into fertilizer. This process will elm

Texas no one who holds an once Of

shall act as a member OF an executive
committee either for the state or for
any district or county. The temporary
roll was made up by Taft members,
having a clear majority without per
mitting these men TO act under their
proxies. There was a contest over the
delegation from Bexar county, which
contains the city Of san Antonio. Full
consideration was given TO this contest,
but the testimony was overwhelming
OF four or five TO one. On the proper
basis the total vote in the district con-
vention was sixty.seven, OF which the
number instructed OF voting for Taft
was thirty-seven and one-half. the
number voting or instructed for Roose

therefore seated AZ Chicago.

account OF them contained In the larger

raised. They were decided by the tri,

not invalidste their decisions. As q
matter OF fact. an examination OF the
facts show that the tribunals were
right IN every instance. There IL not
the slightest evidence that they were
moved by other than a mere desire to
reach a right conclusion. On the other
hand. the action OF the Roosevelt men
IN bringing 100 contests that they
promptly abandoned strongly tended
to show the lack OF good faith IN the
prosecution Of all OF them. Those who
support President Taft can we'll afford
