CattIemen Declare That
Free Beef Would Give
Advantage to Trust

Declaring that the grip Of the beef
trust" would be strengthened by the
inclusion Of free meats in the new
tariff. Texas cattlemen presented Wig
orous protest against the clause to
President Wilson today through Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard Of that State.
The protest, in effect, stated that the
complete lowering of the tariff bar on
meats would be a blow to the cattle
interests Of the West, and yet would
be of no possible value to the American
consumer, because the Beef trust Ii
in control of the Eefrigerating lines
running between the United States and
Argentina, from which nation prac-
tically all meats would be imported
under the free meat schedule.
ut will give the Beef trust chance
to reduce the standard Of prices they
at present to the cattlemen of Texas
and the West" said the telegraphctl
protest to the President. while the
trust will maintain prices to the con-
sumer through their control OF trans
portation between this nation and the
Argentine republic.

MILK DEPOTS SAVE
HUNDREDS OF BABIES
Conditions of Poverty Revealed
in Report Made by Prof.
Ivan Comings Weld.

Through the agency of the milk sta
tions established and maintained by
George NJ. oyster, jr., 3II.500 bottles of
pasteurized milk were dispensed to the
babies of Washington from April "a
lsl1, to October a, 1912, according to the
report of the institutions for that period
made public today.
Conditions of poverty and hardship
are revealed by the report. which was
compiled by Prof. Comings Weld. for
merlv Of the Department of Agricul-
ture. who is in charge Of the philan-
thropy.
The average number Of persons per
family was found to be 4S1. and the
average family income 81 cents a day.
In twenty-nine instances no income
whatever could be recorded. Reports
made by the nurses regarding roominS
conditions show that the homes of 20
per cent of the babies were in alleys.
The number of persons occupying the
same room with the baby varied from
one to nine.
The total number Of cases lost IN
all stations from all causes during the
year and half was torty-four. or a
death rate of 5a.4 per thousand cases,
sys the report. 1T Is only necessary
to compare this rate with the death
rate OF 9i.2 per thousand births. whicn
does not include those babies lost with
in the first week after birth. as re-
ported by the Health Department foT
the year 1912, TO more fully understand
and appreciate just what pure milk.
properly prepared and used, actually
means for the babies of Washington.
Furthermore, in view of the fact
that fourteen, or nearly one-third
of the forty-four milk station babies
were lost during their first ten days
in the station, 1t can be but fair to
assume that their chances for life at
the time of admission to the station
was little, IL any, better than those
of the babies Of the entire District
who died within one week after
birth"
In addition to the milk stations.
medical dispensaries have been main
tained at Friendship House and the
Colored Social Settlement. More than
800 prescriptions written by the phy-
sicians at the dispensaries. have been
supplied by Mr.. Oyster.
The milk stations are located at the
Children's Hospital. Colored Social Set
tlement. Casualty Hospital, Friendship
House, Neighborhood House, Noel
House. and at the Georgetown Hos
pital.

to work uninterruptedly while every

Wilson, the Secretary commented
about his action in remaining away

Mrs. Marshall Held Up
Through Lack of Tickets

The crowd was so great that. when
Mrs. Thomas L. Marshall, wife of the
Vice President. arrived. she was held
I'D at the door. The Vice President
had furnished his wife and two
friends with blue tickets. giving ad-
mission to the public gallery only
After being rebuffed by one doorman
after another. Mrs. Marshall was
finally recognized by newspaper
correspondent and she said to him:
u am Mrs. Marshall, cannot you
help me out? | have three tickets
here which were given me by my
husband, but they do not seem to be
worth the paper they are printed on.
Mrs. Marshall was given a seat for
herself in the Presidents gallery, but
her friends could not get one. They

Kansas Senator Wants
District Pension Probe

Senator Bristow OF Kansas introduced
a resolution into the Senate this after
noon calling on the District Commits
sioners to make report to the Senate
OF the police and firemen on the pension
rolls, and also to inform the Senate
what occupation these persons have
either under the District government or
outside of II.

an objection by Senator Williams, who
desired an immediate adjournment of
the Senate in order that the Democratic
caucus might begin.
Senator Bristnw believes that there
are parties on tho rolls who are not
entitled to pensions.

Residing in America Seek
Their Shares of Estates
in England.
enr Asaee.ArEs esaas,

LONDON, May 3-The American
embassy has been so overwhelmed
lately by requests from America by
heirs who believe that they have enor-
nous estates in chancery in England
that it has become necessary to adopt
a printed form for the replies to these
communications.
The only thing the embassy is per-
mitted to do in the matter is to sug-
gest competent legal adviser to. in
vestigate the case 1t cannot itself
conduct the Investigations. It does,
however, tell inquirers that there are
no large unclaimed estates in Great
Britain. The vast sums constantly
spoken of as dormant in chaneery or
awaiting claimants In the Bank OF
England are purely imaginary and.
according to the embassy. are too
often the invention Of swiRdIers who
obtain money for the prosecution Of
fictitious claims to these fictitious for
tunes.
The funds In chaneery open to claim
are few, and averages less than $1,000
each, two only approaching $780, COO.
Most of them would consume their
own value in the cost Of recovery.
The fullest proof of genealogy is de-
manded. and the lack of data in the
UnIted states for this purpose make
the process very expensive. Further
more, as the passage of twenty years
and sometimes less bars recovery I'M
der the English statutes of Iimita-
lions. the chance OF picking up an
estate in chsucery IS exceedingly
small

troll OF water power, the minority re-
port, submitted by Clifford Pinchot,
Henry L. Stimson and Joseph y. Teal
contained much food for thought 1t
emphasized the rapid concentration in
the corporation control Of water
power.
It is declared that ten groups of
power interests control 90 per cent
OF all the developed water power in
the United States. Two years ago the
ten greatest power groups controlled
3.27O.OOO horsepower developed and
undeveloped; today ten groups con-
troll 6.27O.OOO.
II is commercially. possible and
practicable now TO develop 3O.0OO,0O0
horsepower of hydroelectric power
within the United States. AS the coal
deposits are exhausted and the price
OF steam power raises, this figure may
be greatly augmented. OF the 10000
900 horsepower that can now compete
with coal, the government, the people,
still own 2O.O00.OOO horsepower,
priceless possession. since it will
never become exhausted as long as
rain falls and streams flow.
II is commercially practicable now
TO develop enough electricity from
water power to turn every wheel Gin
the United States now turned by steam
