BEEF
GIVEN BAD BLOW
Use in San Francisco Discour-
aged by Most Unfavorable
Report Filed.
INFERIOR TO AMERICAN
Beef Stew and Roast Raped, But
Australian Mutton Better Than
This Country's Brand
INFERIOR TO AMERICAN

San Francisco, June 9.-The use of
Australian beef in San Francisco's 5 city
institutions is virtually discouraged in
report Of a committee to investigate
the quality and price with reference
to the meat at the Relief Home. The
committee found that the Australian
steak is as good as the American cut;
that the meat used for stew and roast
is inferior, but that the mutton is de-
cidedly superior to the American pro.
duct. The committee found, however,
that the beef will cost within three
cents per 100 pounds of American beef.
The report declares that a great dis
advantage in the use Of the Australian
beef is that portions soon become soft,
and that the meat loses its juices. 1t
was estimated that the meat deterior-
ates five per cent from this cause, and
the committee used this five per cent
deterioration in calculating the cost.
Australian beef was furnished at
$500 a hundred pounds Adding dete
rioration, this is brought to $1O42, and
five cents per hundred is added fol
drayage, bringing the total to $lO.47
against $l0.5O for American beef
The committee adds that the meat
does not come within city specifications
as Australian beef is from steers aged
five to eight years, while the city re-
quires beef to be from three to four
] year-old animals.

be based on United States notes or those
of national banks.
President Wilson said that Solicitor
General John Bassett Moore, of the
state department, is framing an answer
TO the reiointed Of Japan regarding the
California alien land law. He thought
it improbable, however, that the an
swer would be submitted TO Ambassa

thinks there will be considerable diplo
