MEAT INSPECTION FAIR.
Dr. 4. u. Melvin Answers Charges OF
Mrs Crane.

Mrs Crane.
DIR. A d. Melvin chief of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry al Washington who is at
the head Of the Government meat inspec-
| lion service. says that the bureau has
not hing to fear from fair and thorough
investigation of the inspection.
"The resolution introduced in Congress
by Representative Nelson. says DR.. Mel.
win. contains a number of ia lse assump-
| tions based on ignorance or misrepre-
sentation of the facts. 1t appears that
| the charges are inspired by professional
| agitators, aided by dsgrintled and dis
| credited ex-employees who have been
dismissed from the service. Most of
these charges were made two and half
years ago by Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane
before the American Public Health Asso-
citation. and she was unable to sustain
| them to the satisfaction Of the executive
committee of that association. The
| charges are also partly based on state
ments made by DR.. Albert I.effingwell In a
book on American Meat, published by
him in England in 1910, book abounding
in misrepresentation and distorted quo
tat ions from official publications.
Aside from the attack on the integrity
of the officials administering the service
the main question at issue is simply
whether the inspection should be based
on principles determined by eminent
scient SITS the world over who have thor
oughly studied the subject. or on the SEN
timemtal notions Of faddists In 1907
the regulations We're carefully gone over
by commission of distinguished scien-
tifc. experts outside Of the Department Of
Agriculture, who reported that it there be
any general error in the regulation this
is in favor of the public rather than in
favor Of the butchers and packers. The
present regulations conform to the views
of that commission except that they are
even more strict in some respects than the
commission thought necessary.
Perhaps the most striking evidence
that the meat inspection has not de-
Perforated is the fact that condemnat ions
under the new law have been more than
30 per cent. greater than under the old
law, II is evident from the statements
30 iar made by Mrs Crane before the COM
mittee, that she does not understand many
Things about the inspection system and
he regulations. and ANYTHING that she
does not understand she suspects of being
crooked She has gone out of her way
to place a sinister construction upon per-
Iectly innocent things. So far she has
advanced nothing that can not be made
perfectly plain by the bureau when the
time comes TO present it's side Of the case

tUrea On EcOnOmy.

WASHINGTON. May 9.-Reprcsentative
Fitzgerald of New York. chairman Of
the House Appropriations Commit tec.
read his Democratic brothers a lecture
on economy tonight. While discussing
the legislative hill he charged that II
the present tendency to run up appro.
prtations was continued the Democratic
party would convict itself of hypocrisy.
In Two or three paragraphs Of the bill
as reported the committee made an
cHort To cut down expenditures. For
example. no provision was made for
maintenance Of the mints at San Fran
cisco. Carson City and New Orlcan MS,
ana II was proposed to drop six assay
oHices. The members from the States
concerned. Democrats and Rcpublica ms
aIikc. entered into a combination and
the economy plans of Mr.. Fitzgerald
were knocked into cooked hat.
Mr. Fitzgerald was angry when he
rose tn speak. Shaking his fist at the
democrats he charged that good
many or them had made speeches in
the last campaign promising retrcnch-
ment In public expenditures II the
House. Many Of these members now.
ne declared. were scrambling at the
trough. insisting that local interests
must he fed.
"our committee is making recon-.
mendations to this House in conformity
with the pledges Of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Fitzgerald said. "If the
Democratic party fails to reduce appro.
priations those responsible must carry
the burden Of blame I am compelled
To Ignore the wishes of my constituents
owing tn iHomiscs made for retrench-
ments. while certain other gentlemen
appear concerned only with the care of
selfish local interests. II IL high time
we realized our responsibility.
Democrats sat grimly as Mr.. Fitz-
gerald proceeded. but when he closed
he received an ovation from his party
associates. as we'll as from the Rcpub-
licans.
\ few minutes later the House
knocked out another provision designed
to save money.
