on disease among cattll . the pro-
posa1s by which Arthur Meeker, vice
president OF Armour & Co., would
eliminate waste in the beef market
and lower the cost OF meat. He gave
this opinion today when asked how
best to expend the 100000 yappropri-
ated by the American Packers Asso-
citation to educate the people against
waste. Mr.. Meeker stated today that
ten million calves were slaughtered
last year. Each of these n'etted sixty
pounds of dressed meat. II they had
been allowed to grow to the two year
mark they would have netted ten
times as much
One-third Of the annual cattle sup
ply is wasted in this fashion to sat-

Mr.. Meeker suggested that in addl-
tion to a campaign against veal as un'
healthy, each state ought to have a
law prohibiting the killing of calves
before they are four months old. After
| that they are too valuable to kill fol-
veal, he said. The indiscrimlnate
slaughter of heller calves, cutting of
| the natural increase was character
ized by Meeker as tremendous and
wanton." Both the consumer and the
farmer must be educated against this
folly, he said.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept. "a
Judge Bledsoe's court room was pack
ed long before court opened today,
as the. result OF the announcement
that Geo. H. Bixby, millionaire, ac-
cused of contributing to the delinquen-
cy of young girls would take the stand
in his own defense during the session.
That he had not been guilty OF the
acts charged against him by Miss Cleo
Barker and other young girls and that
he visited the Jonquil resort here only
for purposes of philanthropy would be
the principal testimony of defendant.
Bixby will assert further that Miss
Barker has no basis in fact for her
charges but is merely trying to put
through black mail scheme.
Testimony to support this latter
charge was taken late yesterday and
when court opened today, Oscar Law
Ter and Samuel Haskins attorneys for
the defense both testified regarding
suits for damages filed against Bixby
by Miss Barker and Miss jeanette FL
! lis, a former Jonquil resort inmate.
Miss Barker, they alleged, had said
1 her attorney had urged he to go after
certain rich men in Los Angeles, in
Guiding Octavius Morgan and Justice
| w. H. Evans, of Monrovia. Haskins
asserted one of Miss Barker's lawyers
made vague demands for a settlement
1 from Btxby- Justice Evans was called
and admitted that he had called at the
Jonquil resort several times but
never for immoral purposes With
/ iBixby's testimony, the defense ex-
poets to close and arguments will be-
gin Immediately afterwards. The case
will probably reach the jury tomorrow
night.
4 That Miss Barker will be married
to youth about town as soon as the
Bixby trial ends Is the general belief
today The severe attire she wore at
the beginning of the trial has changed
and she appeared today resplendant in
4 silks.
