Novel Means of Attack In

Also Contain Pepper.

LONDON, Feb. Snuff bombs are
the latest weapon Of the suffragets.
The militant women today mailed a
small package to each member of the
cabinet which upon being opened re-
leased a spring that sprayed an ounce
of snuff in the face of the opener
Cabinet members have become too
wary to open suspicious looking let
ters and packages and none suffered
from this latest method of harassing
oficials.
However, one of the parliamentary
secretaries who was caught off his
guard opened one of the packages and
was blinded for several hours. His
sight may be permanently affected.
Some of the booms contained both
snuff and red pepper.
Scotland Yard detectives who are
doing suffragette duty learned today

and Political Union are hiring men
for S1.25 day to work for the cause
These men are delegated to get into

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Arthur
Beaupre, American minister to Cuba,
today was instructed by Secretary Of
State Knox to demand immediate pun
ishment of the editor of the newspa-
per Cuba, which recently published a
series of articles referring to Minister
Beaupre as an embezzler and accusing
him of taking bribes. While no atten-
tion is paid to attacks by foreign news
papers on diplomatic representatives
usually Secretary Knox considers the
present instance so flagrant that the
United States can do nothing but de-
mand punishment of the editor The
state department recently forced the
imprisonment of the journalist who at
tackled Hugh Gibson, American charge
of affairs at Havana
1t is expected that Minister Beaupre
will institute suit for damages for H.
bel and if he proves his case this gov

SAYS BEEF TRUST
HAS BRANCH HERE
Mrs. Bloor Talks on Expose
of Conditions at Union
Stock Yards.
MADE INVESTIGATION
Alleges That Tubercular and
Tainted Beef Products
Are Now Sold.
MADE INVESTIGATION

That the Beef Trust has its tenta-
cles stretched toward this city with a
view of getting a strangle clutch is
the statement made by Mrs. Ella
Reeves Bloor last evening in an ad-
dress at the high school hall.
Mrs. Bloor, we'll known on two con-
tinents as a lecturer and reformer, a
member of the National Socialist par
ty and a suffragist is an entertaining
talker of the unaffected and direct
type, and made her address on the sub
ject of the expose of conditions in the
Union Stock yards, with which the
press and periodicals were filled few
years ago. and whose chief agent she
was. highly interesting.
Mrs. Bloor states that when Upton
Sinclair, the novelist, was asked by
Roosevelt to go with government Of
ficials and make an investigation OF
the charges in his book, that he con
sented to do so but when the time
came. refused. because of his literary
engagements. She was asked to take
his place and did so.
She said the real exposure was made
through the copy of an original report
which she kept and which was pub
lished by the New York Times, after
the doctored up official report had
been presented to Congress.
Mrs. Bloors account of her investi-
cations which were made in the guise
of an employe were Illuminating and
verified her statements made in the re-
port that the output of the Beef Trust
is the same as it was heretofore with
different labels merely.
She alleged that labor conditions in
the Union Stock Yards were of the
worst character and that tubercular
and tainted beef products were sent
out to the public now just as before
tpe supposed investigation.
Mrs. Bloor also stated that Beef
Trust meat was sold in the butcher
shops of this city already, but that the
Trust itself, through Swift, would op
en- large eastore Of its own.
