Beef Supply Falling Off.

Washington, b. c., March %
The decrease in the meat supply
available for expectation is sharply
illustrated by the February export
figures just compiled by the stats.
teal division Of the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce.
They show the number of cattle
exported in the eight months ended
with February, 1913, as only 1860
head, against 270,2l0 head in the
corresponding months OF 1907, and
the quantity Of fresh beef exported,
only l,709,047 pounds, against 49,
SO6,649 pounds ia the corresponding
months of 1907.
That this shortage in the exporta-
lions is due, in part at least, to an
actual reduction in the number of
cattle in the United States is evil
denced by the fact that the total num-
Der of cattle on farms, according to
figures Of the Department of Agri-
culture, was on January |, 1913, 3d.
527 900, against 72,j34, 900 January | =,
1867.
Still another evidence OF the de-
mand In the United States for an
increase In Its cattle supply is found
In the figures Of the Department Of
Commerce, which show an enor.
nous increase in the importation Of
cattle, the number imported into the
United States in the eight months,
ended with February, 1913, being
%, 900 head, against 1850 head in
the corresponding months OF 1907.
Thus, while the number OF cattle
on farms has fallen from " 800 900
to B,500,00 in the six-year period
In question, the number exported
has fallen from 30, 200 head to l3 900,
the quantity Of fresh beef exported
has fallen from 10000, 200 pounds
to 4,750,000 pounds, and the number
OF cattle imported has increased
from 1850 head to d., 900 head, all
of these figures Of imports and ex-
ports being for the eight months
period ending with February OF the
years named.

quires every corporation to regis
ter annually with the Secretary of
State, make full report of its
financial standing and pay a regis
tration fee of $500 with the fling
of each statement. There was al
ready Il law on the statute books
requiring corporations to make
sworn annual statements to the
Secretary of State, which strikes
us as all that was necessary, but il
didn't impose the payment of a
registration fee on filing such
statements. Many OF the cor.
poratious OF the State are small
concerns, such as mercantile es-
adjustments aud limited manufac-
turing industries, country newspa.
per plants, etc. the capital stocks
of which range from So, 500 to per.
haps $780, 900 or $40, 900 in some

for that is what the annual regis

CHARITIES HELP POO
Michael Hadovsk and his young
wife, a Polish couple, buried their
three-mOnths'-old baby at Mt. Car
mel cemetery today, after having
been turned down by the United
Charities.
They got from Father McNamee
of st. PatTick's church and from Pat
rick Kehoe of O'Hara &. Kehoe, I'M
dertakers at 1907 West Madison, the
assistance the big charity trust had
refused to give.
Undertaken Kehoe gave them
coffin and Father McNamee got them
a lot in the cemetery. A neighbor
gave them SIS.
There were three children in the
family, Anne, aged 4, Mickey, aged
2, and George, the three-mOnths'-ol
baby that died.
The father had been out of work
for long time and finally got a job
in a factory at S12 a week.
They lived together in two rooms
at "a South Sangamon street. The
baby took sick. Thursday night the
little one died. The parents were abb
jectly poor. They had no money for
a coffin, burial lot or anything else.
Father McNamee got them lot
in Mt. Carmel cemetery and told
them to go to the United Charities
for transportation and a coffin.
Mrs. Hadovski, the mother, went
to Miss E. Bergen of the United
Charities, and says that Miss Bergen
told her to shut up when she was
talking. Miss Bergen told her that
as they had lived in Chicago only
five months the United Charities
couldn't help them, but told her to
go to the county agent, with whom
the United Charities had an agree
ment to take care of nOn-residents.

Y THAN THE UNITED
R FAMILY BURY BABY
said they had an arrangement with
the county agent to. take care Of
nonresident and funeral cases.
Miss Bergen had sent the mother
to the undertakers. Fortunately she
saw Mr.. Kehoe, who has helped out
in such cases before. He agreed to
furnish a coffin. He had gone to Miss
Bergen for the mother, but was told
that if he was so much interested in
the case he had better furnish the
coffin. He did.
Anyhow the mother got coffin,
burial lot and five dollars, besides the
rundown from the charity trust.
And her little baby was buried today.
WOMAN HURLS CARVING KNIFE
AT HUSBAND-HE MAY DIE
Frank Matejka, 1855 w. 26th
street, saIoonkeeper, is dying at the
University Hospital today as a re-
suit of trying to beat his wife.
According to the wife, Matejka
came home early this morning. He
had been drinking. He began to
abuse her. When he rushed at her
she picked up a carving knife from
the table and hurled it at him. The
man sank to the floor.
Mrs. Matejka then summoned DR..
V. Masilka, 42O3 w. 26th street, who
ordered the mans removal to the
hospital. The doctor made no report
to the police. Policeman Slad, no
ticing this morning that Matejka had
not opened his saloon, made inquiries
and learned of the stabbing.
Mrs. Matejka, under police guard,
was allowed to remain at her home to
care for her 9-months'-oId baby. She
will be arrested.

Aa;inst tie Confirmation Of a Stgro

In the Senate Of the United states
on "Wednesday there was preclpltat.-
ed a lively discussion over Tie nom
iDation of Adam E. Patterson, a Ne
gro Of Oklahoma, TO the office OF
Register Of The Treasury.
1t is of record that this office has
been held by negro since the days
of Grover Cleveland, but i is moi
explained why This office should be
assigned to a negro, when men q

fed and should be given the prefer
ence, especially when the nomma-
tion is subject to the control Of q
Democratic administration.
1t is noted that Senator NardamaE
OF Mississippi is opposing Vigorously
this nomination for which he should
be commended, while Senators Gore
and Owen Of Oklahoma and Hoke
Smith Of Georgia are urging favor
able consideration.
It is not surprising that the sen
ators from Oklahoma should urge
the recognition Of this negro. bui
Senator Hoke Smiths alignment il
this contest is simply amazing.
Is it not time that the negro
should be eliminated from official
positions Of honor and responsible
iity. especially, when white women
and men hold subordinate positions,
as. is evidence in some Of the de
partments OF the government IN
Washington.
The negro should receive far
treatment but should not be pro-
noted beyond his level nor s
sphere to dominate, dictate or su-
pervise, officially or otherwise over
the employees of the Caucasian race.

Get half a pound Of very fine tea and
add to it a dozen jasmine or orange
blossoms. Put this mixture in a per

To make the tea have the water hot,
pour it over the tea and allow to stand

delicious perfumed flavor that can be
obtained in no other way. Try com
