C.L. Hutchins, State Inspect
or, Says Conditions Here
Are Better Than Those in
Most Cities.
SUGGESTIONS MADE
BY THE INSPECTOR
Orders a Number of Proprie-
tors TO Make Some Chang
es.-Has Been in the City
During Past Week.

Albeit he is not ready, as yet, 10
make a complete report OF the inspec-
ton of the groceries, meat markets,
restaurants and dairies which he made
in this city. c. l.. Hutchins. state food
and drug inspector. states that with
the exception Of few places. condi-
tions in Richmond are very satisfac-
tory and in fact in some places he
has found everything in excellent san
itary condition.
Inspector Hutchins has just closed
his inspection. He started his inves-
tigation here last Monday and exam
ined the grocery stores. meat markets
and restaurants throughout the city.
He also inspected the premises OF all
dairies furnishing milk to consumers
in Richmond.
To Make Changes.
Recommendation made by Inspect
or Hutchins will be carried out imme-
diately, according TO statements given
Hutchins by proprietors of the places
where orders were given. In case
improvements are not made drastic
actions may be taken, as the state
food and health departments are de-
termined to make conditions as sani-
tary as possible.
Inspector Hutchins has refused TO
make public the names of the various
places where recommendations have
been made.
Probably the most important edict
issued by the food and drug inspector
was to grocers and butchers, to the
effect that all kinds OF meat be kept
under cover At all times with the ex-
ception of rush hours"
Must Screen.
Another order given out by the in
spector was that all grocery stores.
meat markets and restaurants be pro-
perly screened. He said that in case
this is done there will be very little
/ trouble from flies.
Kitchens in one or two of the res
taurants in the city viii have to un-
dergo a thorough cleaning. according
to Hutchins' orders. Other restau-
rants. it is understood, were found to
be in good condition.
Dairy Changes.
A number of repairs at dairies were
recommended by the inspector. How
ever. most of the recommendations
4 made along this line were of minor
importance, the inspector finding the
premises of the majority of the dairies
in the best of condition. Some of the
dairymen were ordered to erect per-
/ titions between horses and the cattle
and other repairs of a similar nature.
The dairy at the Eastern Indiana
Hospital for the Insane was also i'm
spected.
| 81 can say this much" said Inspect
or Hutchins. upon leaving this city,
following the completion of his inspec
ton, that when the few chang -
which have recommended are made
Richmond's groceries. meat markets
restaurants and dairies viii be in a
good a sanitary condition. In not bet
ter condition than the majority o.
such places in other cities in the
state. And that is saying a great
deal"

WarfeI Had Majority.

Warfel had an undoubted majority
In the district caucus held at Indiana
polls on the night before the conven-
tion, the Taft men readily agreed to
that The trouble arose over the ere
dentials of the presiding officer which
were sent in blank by Linus Meredith,
district chairman. Warfel called the
meeting together and acted as the pre-
siding officer at the proper time but
Bassett jimmed the thing by appearing
with his credentials. Warfel took the
ground that the caucus was already
organized and would not step down
and out Warfel feared that Bassett
would introduce gag measures and
did the next morning at the famous
Healing exhibition at Tomlinson Hall.
Naturally Bassett did not neglect
this opportunity to fle contest after
he had held a rump convention of his
own with the Linus Meredith creden-
tials. The Roosevelt adherents ap-
peared before the credentials commit
tee and were turned down, Warfel
says without hearing the evidence.
1t is on this basis that the contest
is filed and the Roosevelt affidavits
gathered yesterday We're to prove this
point.
Throughout political circles it was
stated freely at the time, that had
Warfel succeeded in gaining his seat,
the Roosevelt forces would have had
the lead in the credentials committee
In case the fight is so close throughout
the country as to depend on the issue
in Indiana the Sixth district failure
will be the keystone that gave way in
the Roosevelt arch

in the Convention Gossip

Chicago, June s.-William Finn, of
Pittsburg, feelingly referred to by the
Taft men assembled here as Strong
arm Bill" chief of the wreckins crew
sent out to throw a monkey wrench
into the machinery of the steam roll
er, arrived today just as the roller
whistle footed its engineers to their
days task Mr.. Finn Immediately
set about his job. He tried out the
monkey wrench by hitting Congress
man William B. Mckinley over his
metaphorical head.
Committee Meets.
The national committee assembled
at the Coliseum shortly after 10
o'clock for its second days contest
hearing. The remaining Arkansas
cases were taken up. While the COM
mittee was in session Finn gave out
a statement. He said. There will be
big pow WOW of Roosevelt men here
early next week. When We are
through we will have the Taft forces
knocked against the ropes and beg
ging us to let them up. Roosevelt has
sent out a personal call to his friends.
The biggest men in the country will
be here within a day or two. Roose-
welt may come himself.
Asked if he was going to tamper
with the steam roller machinery Finn
made some remarks about Mckinley
"Aw, that sounds just like Mckinley 5
talk" he said. HE talks nothing but
blather. If he keeps it up perhaps he
will get the Utah delegation, but thai
WIN be about aii..---r----'' --''.-'- '-,.-'-s s.
Asked If he intended to visit the
Coliseum Finn remarked. Il don'i
want to get hit. They tell me the
minute l got into town the Mckinley
men began yelling for the police
They've got a guard of detectives
down there now. / don't want to &c
to Jail my first hours in Chicago, SC
maybe I'll stay away today. Also
maybe / won't"
Finn denied that he had been sent
to supercede Dixon. Mckinley pro
badly started that ALSO" he said.
While Finn was talking the whistle
of the steam roller footed again. II
had just run over two more Roose
welt delegates. The taft men in the
Third Arkansas district were seated.
