CHICAGO PACKERS ACCUSED
CRIMINAL CHARGE Is LODGED
AGAINST SuLz8ERGERS.
Alleging Misbranding 5000 Cans
Of Decayed Meat.

Seattle.-Folowing the arrest Of
three local merchants who held 1900
cans of decayed meat, a criminal com
plant has been lodged by Deputy
Prosecutor White against the firm
of Sulzberger & Son of Chicago. 1t
charges that the Sulzberger concern
deliberately misbranded the cans so
as to unload meats packed seven
years ago.
A chemical analysis by the state
chemists showed the meat was so rot
ten that there was danger of pto-
maine poisoning in every can. White
says the cans were packed prior to
the passage of the 1906 pure food law
by the firm OF Schwarschild & Sulz-
berger, which was later succeeded by
Sulzberger & Son. They bore the
original inscription that they had
been approved under the federal act
of 1891. This was covered up, how
ever, by labels under the new law
stating that the cans had been passed
under the pure food act of 1906.
White asserts that meat in many
of the cans was black as coal Food
Inspector Adams, who was called into
the case by White, says it is impossi-

with the commission, not later than
Sept IS, 1913, all rate schedules that
were in force April IS. 1913, together

1t also was ordered by the commits
sion that telephone companies shall

There are about 500 telephone com
panies operating in the state, and up

Jury Begins Lobby Hunt.

Jefferson City-T'he special Cole
county grand jury was impaneled and
charged by Judge John G. Slate when
the circuit court convened for the
regular July term. ABIDE from the
usual perfunctory duties and the in
'vestigation of alleged lobbying before
the last legislature in connection With
the police and insurance laws. there
is but little for the jury to do. In that
part of his charge bearing on alleged
legislative lobby, Judge Slate warns
the jury against piling up expense
against the county and cites the net
result of the last lobby investigation
by a Cole county grand jury. This
was I'm 1908 and the bill that Cole
county footed was between $4,000
and $1,000. Out of this investigation
there was one conviction for mis-
Gemeanor, for which small fine was
imposed. Judge Slate suggests that
those who have knowledge of the al
legged offenses against the lobby law
be permitted to come before the jury
and testify without compulslon and
without expense to the county.
