"VOraciOuS Vultures Who
Fatten on Other Peoples
Food" Says Mcclellan.
HAS BILL TO END
THE "PLUNDERBUND"
Bars All FoOdstuffs Kept Beyond
Specified Time from Inter-
state Commerce.
From The Tribune Bureau. |

Washington, Dec. S.-The Spectator
and gambler in foodstuffs was assailed
in the House to-day by Representative
Mcclellan, a Tennessee Democrat, who
spoke in advocacy of his bill to combat
the cold storage trust by barring from
interstate commerce all eggs, butter ana
meats which have been in cold storage
beyond specified length Of time.
1T is claimed by some" said Mr.. Nc
Kellar, that my bill is drastic. This is
not true The drastic features OF the bill
are aimed only at the corrupt and dis
honest, at the gamblers and spectators,
at the plunderbund of voracious vultures
who stand around in the market places
and reap where they have not sowed,
fattening on other peoples food. Apply
ing TO them, the bill is drastic. ] do not
believe any member OF the House will
stand up and defend any such plumber
bund of food sharks"
Hearings on the Mcclellan bill will begin
before a subcommittee of the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce tomorrow Mr.. Mcclellan
said to-day he would ask that all storage
lHcU WHO CoIle D'loTt the tOlnIHitt't Sii"''
be subject To cross-eXamnation.
Upon the cold storage trust, which he
declared subsidiary To the meat packers
trust, Mr.. Mcclellan to-day placed the
chief responsibility for the present era
Of high prices. He devoted large por-
ton of his speech 10 the subject of eggs
and the alleged cornering Of the market
for this commodity
The Mcclellan bill would prohibit the
cold storing Of eggs for more than two
months: beef. seven months; veal, two
months; pork. three months: sheep and
goats. four months: lambs, three months
game and poultry. three months; fish.
two months, and butter. three months.
The bill prescribos both imprisonment
and heavy fines for violation Of its terms.
Provision Is also made for the labelling
Of all cold storage products. and mis-
branded products are not 10 be admitted
10 commerce.

Washington. Dec S-The Dominican sit
uation Is evidently becoming a compli-
Gated matter, and, despite an explanation
issued this afternoon, in the form of a
telegram of instructions to the American
Minister in Santo Domingo telling him
TO inform President Bordas of the en-
tirely friendly character of this govern
ment's intentions in sending Americans TO
observe the forthcoming elections. there
are aspects OF the affair which are not
entirely clear.
Although the State Department is maxi
ing a vigorous effort to put through the
plan now under way without arousing OPP
position in Santo Domingo, where Ameri-
cans are none too popular anyway, II
seems that the outcry in the little re-
public is emphatic. The explanatory tele-
gram which has gone TO President Bordas
does not explain. II may be stated on
Srst class authority. anything that the
Dominican Minister here and his govern
enent in Santo Domingo have not been
thoroughly aware of for some days. De-
spite this knowledge of what the inten-
,lons of the State Department were, the
Dominican government lodged protest
against what is termed a violation of the
sovereignty Of the country.

To Lend Moral Support.

The State Department is endeaVorinS 10
imprcss upon Santo Domingo that the
officials who are going TO witness the
elections are there only as individuals. to
lend their moral support. According to
information received ~ the STATE Depart
ment to-day. the American observers VIII
be there "unoflcially" and will have no
defined status. II If noticed. however
that in the telegram made public these
Americans are given one concrete function
as witnesses in the event OF there being
any dispute Another phrase which at
tracts attention: 1T (the government OF
the United States merely asks for those
who have been requested to he present at
the polling places the privileges oil
friends" etc. Mr.. Bryan said this after
noon that the reference TO request
meant requested by the United States
on the surface the case seems to be
that the Dominican government made an
agreement concerning American assistance
in keeping the elections honest and FAIR,
but when the United States started TO
fulfil the agreement by sending observers
to Santo Domingo the government there
began to protest. 1t is asserted that II
was utterly impossible for the United
States not to do something definite and
concrete in the premises in view of Mr..
Sullivan's promises to the revolutionists.
II is believed that there will be inter
estng developments in Santo Domingo,
not only concerning the present interna-
tional situation but also having to do with

affairs in that country. Washington Is

that American affairs are not being prop

Senator Weeks Enters Lists.

Senator OGorman said tnat the New
York banks had lent 10 the country banks
more than 100000. Mr.. Swanson In
sisted that the condition was exactly the
reverse. Senator Weeks then called atten-
ton to the law which required that the
New York banks keep p per cent OF Their
reserves in their vaults, asserting that
they had, fallen below this limit "heh
they suspended payments.
Senator Root then took hand IN the
discussion and elected from Senator
Swanson the admission that the country
banks deposited their money with New
York reserve agents with the understand
ing that il was to be- loaned on call. They
knew" he said. when the money was
loaned that If there came a sudden de-
mand from all parts OF the couHtry they
would be subject To the difficulties ana
embarrassments arising from defective
system" For this reason, Senator Root
intimated there was no occasion what
ever 10 blame the New York bankers for
lending the money a. they did.

timony given by country bankers before
the Banking and Currency Committee "a

Automobile Tags for 1914.

Thomas Hall, secretary of state,
awarded the contract for the motor
vehicle registration tags for the sea-
son of 1914, to the Borreson Manufac-
turing Co., St. Paul, Mimi, this being
the fourth consecutive year that this
firm has secured the contract, and in
each instance because it's bid was low
er than it's competitors. The price of
tags for 1914, under the new contract
is much lower than for 1913. Indeed
each year has seen s-eady reduction
in price, due to competition and to
improved methods of manufacture. In
1913 the automobile tags cost the
state, delivered in Bismarck, Is cents
per pair; for 1914 they will cost 13
cents per pair. In 1913 the motor
cycle tags cost the state 21 cents per
pair; for 1914 they will cost 10 cents
per pair. These prices include the
heavy printed manila envelope, prop
erly numbered and with the instruc-
tlon sheet to owners in each. It is
only fair, however, to state that the
1913 contract called for but 10000
automobile tags, while the 1914 con.
tract calls for $4,000. Already nearly
$4,000 tags have been issued in 1918
and at the present rate the total will
reach 1880 before snow flies. Also
the tag for 1914, while of the same
weight and make of metal, will have
but the. one coat of enamel baked on
the cost being reduced 2 cents on
each tag by leaving off the coat Of
varnish. Therefore the 1914 tags
will be dull finish, canary yellow

Stringent Law Regarding Insane Pa.
tients Out on Parole.

tients Out on Parole.
The board of control of state insti-
tutions at their recent meeting ap-
pointed DR.. G. DePuy a member of
the board of examiners of the state
hospital for the insane, in matters
pertaining to the sterilization of the
insane. Heredity is the most import
ant factor in the increase of insanity
at the present time, and through the
efforts of Supt. Hotchkiss of the state
hospital, a bill for the sterilization of
detectives was passed by the last
legislature, one of the best far-reach-
ing laws passed.
Hereafter all patients who are par
oled or discharged from the state
hospital, in which the condition of
procreation is evident, shall be subject
to the simple operation of vasectUiny,
which will prevent the propagation
Of their kind. In the state hospital at
the present time are five members of
one family who are blessed (?) with
forty-three children, half of whom
are married. There is every reason
to believe that these children and their
children's children will eventually be-
come public charges and in this
manner is insanity increased with such
alarming rapidity. There are in the
Unite d States today approximately
100000 insane, and it costs in the ag-
gregate $200,000,OOO a year to care
for them. There are nearly 100000
feeble minded in the United States. of
whom only 10000 are under public
charge. The greatest menace of to-
day is the feeble minded girl and
greater provision should be made for
their care. No feeble minded boy nor
any feeble minded girl under the
child bearing age should be taken
care of until all feeble minded girls
Of child-bearing age are segregated
and sterilized. Authentic statistics
show that from the union of two such
persons, 593 descendants have become
public charges in IS years. Approx
mate figures holding good for insane
1t is to overcome this possibility, that
the sterilization bill was passed, and
its enforcement should be welcomed
by all thinking people.
