eighth annual contention fd tne
American Meat Packers Convention
held here. All the speakers agreed
that IL the decrease in meat produc-
tion of the last 10 years is not stopped
the question of the meat supply Tor
the people of the United States Will be
most serious.
Among the remedies suggested Dy
the speakers were. Every small farm
er should raise at least two beef steers
year to offset the decreased produc-
tion of the great ranches OF the west.
The remaining ranges should be cut
up in farms and put all farmers on an
equal footing. Development OF the
hills of New England, with their boun-
tiful springs and prevailing shade as
beef-producing country. Substitu-
ton of corn for cotton in the Southern
States and the consequent develop
ment of the cattle and hog produc-
tion.
The report of the executive commit
tee sounded the first note of the dan
ger of famine.
THE American meat packing-house
] situation and that of consumers oil
meat food products in this country are
both in condition more precarious
than at any other time in our history,
the report stated.
I'VE are facing conditions in the
production OF meat food products
which would have been thought i'm
possible 10 years ago. The shortage
of live stock, which has been impress
ed upon us trs packing-house produc
ers for several years, has been intensi
fed during the last year. Our popula
tion is growing at its normal rate
We have passed the point where de
mand has overtaken production, ant
we are now on basis which show
that demand exceeds the supply o
meat food products to such an eXten
that we have abnormally high price
for meat food products
THE farmers are not furnishing
nearly sufficient number of animal
to keep the packing-houses in operf
ton on anything like full time, an
this results in heavy losses owing t
: lack of volume of business. And ther
; seems to De no prospect of relief. d.
} spite the higher prices for live stoc
of all kinds statistics show that TIL

HARRY THAW IS
SAFE FOR A WEEK
No Decision BY Governor F elker
Before That Time.
ARGUMENT BECOMES HEATED
Jerome, Charged With subterfuse,
Replies Alleging Corrupt Use
OF Money To Defeat
Justice.

Concord, N. H.-The duty OF the
State of New Hampshire toward Harry
x. Thaw was the subject of exhaustive
argument before Governor Felker.
The legal battle in which William
Travers Jerome, Special Deputy At
torney-General of New York State,
which seeks to obtain the extradition
of Thaw as a fugitive from justice.
was pitted against three Of Thaw's
array of counsel, was dramatic at
times and near the close came dan
gerously near to being personal.
To the charge that he had resorted
to subterfuge and was moved by
Interior motives in his determination
to return Thaw to the Matteawan In
sane Asylum, Jerome retorted with
unusual feeling that the State of New
York would not permit its Justice to
be defeated by the corrupt use of
Thaw money.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
the Governor gave counsel until Nom
day to file supplementary briefs, SO
that his decision will not be known
for a week at least
Seated beside the Governor in the
Senate chamber of the Capitol, where
the hearing took place, was Attorney

der Indictment in Duchess county,
charged with conspiracy to escape
from the insane asylum.
Former Judge William NJ. Chase, OF
New Hampshire, and former Governor
William Stone, of Pennsylvania, plead
ing for Thaw, had emphasized the
common belief that no bill had been
found against their client and that
accordingly there was no evidence be-
fore the Governor that New York
intended to place him on trial.
Jerome went further and gave his
word that Thaw would be placed on
trial If returned to New York State.
Judge Chase, in turn, suggested the
idea that New York State had no right
to confine Thaw. who, he said, was a
citizen of Pennsylvania and should by
right have been returned to that State
when he was adjudged insane.
Governor Felker had announced
that counsel would not be confined In
their remarks, but might shed all the
light they could on the case. In
opening Mr.. Jerome contrnded himself
with stating that the Gov ernor had nj
alternative to honoring tie request o
the New York authorities. He helt
that the only points to be determined
we're that Thaw was wanted, that hi
was in New York State when til,
alleged offense was committed am
the matter of his identity.
Judge Chase followed with the argu
ment that Thaw was insane when h
escaped from Matteawan and there
fore. irresponsible The charge o
conspiracy had been trumped up. h
said. for the purpose of returnin
Thaw to the asylum.

Washington. = Secretary Garrison

report by w. H. Phipps, auditor for

startling charges of Dean Worcester.
1t cites details of many cases of boys
and girls sold into slavery at prices
ranging from $50 to 800, and that
heads of savage families sell their
daughters and regard the practice as
a right.
Il have no hesitancy in saying that

cester that slavery exists in the Philip
pines are sustained" says Mr. Phipps.
The Phipps report is based upon
Investigations conducted under the
direction of the Philippine auditor by
district auditors. 1t was accompanied
by list of names of 81 persons held
as slaves, some being held outright
and some under the so-called debt"
system, the fallacy of which is shown
by the fact that some of the slaves
SO held are more than go years old,
and have been held by their present
owners since birth.
