Editor Times:
Much publicity has recently been
given the cases of a number of
meat markets in this city who were
charged with using a chemical
commonly know as Freezum in
meats. When the cases came up
for trial the court held hat the
law did not cover the offense and
dismissed the cases. The sudden
termination of the cases did not
give the dealers an opportunity to
make public in open court their
defense on this charge, and the
natural inference might be that
they were guilty u escaped on
account of the ordinallce o prop
erly covering the charge.
The trial of the Commercial Mar
ket was set for Tuesday, and at
that time the proprietors of this
market. Messrs. WeinEarten and
Adams, and all OF Its employees
namely, +. N. Palmer, Frank
Thursfon, Philip Everhardt, Thos:
Mairs and Helen l.. Lingle were all
in court willing and anxious to
swear that. at no time or under n
consideration was freesum or any
other chemical or preservative OF
nuy kind ever used In this market.
we also had q chemist who had
made tests of our spices and meats,
a court stenoRrapher n other
witnesses who voluntarily offered
their services In our behalf, In fact
we were prepared to fight to the
last ditch on q charge so unjust.

A Serious division.

On Saturday, Nov. 20, two conVeh
tions were held in the City OF New
Orleans, each aiming at the I'M
movement of the Mississippi Rive
and the protection OF the vale!
from annual floods.
As the issue is vital and as sue
cess is dependent on harmony O.
action. the Caucasian had antici-
pated a consolidation OF the two
conventions, al which the best II
the Ransdell-Humphries bill and tn
best in the, Newlands bill Woult
have been formulated into one en-
aetmeut. which would have secured
unanimous endorsement. AS it is
each faction is insistent in urging OF
Congress the favorable consIdera-
ton of its bill, the end OF which L
that neither will receive the support
essential to recognition.
The gist of the Ransdell-Hum-
phries bill is an all-levee system
with a deep channel, which is crltl-
cised as waste of money, unless
the channels tributaries are main
tanned at the same depth and are
made navigable for commerce dur
ing the whole year.
The Newlands plan provides q
levee and an outlet system with q
great reservoir that would restrain
the floods from rushing down the
valley, inflicting ruin and desola-
ton in its irresistible sweep. The
advocates of che Newlands plan
ridicule the all-levee systeM as be-
ing impracticable and radically in
consistent with the natural laws OF
outlets.
This decision is deplorable, and
the victims of contention menaced
by the annual floods of the Missis-
sippi are helpless.
If the advocates of these rival
plans are patriotic and are earnestly
concerned in the welfare Of the peo-
pie of the Mississippi Valley, they
will subordinate their differences in
reaching compromise that must
be effective in providing the means
that are necessary to the achieve
ment of this great enterprise, the
Improvement Of the Mississippi and
the protection of the valley from
annual floods.
