Charge Made by Pure Food
Inspector

William II. Beamer, president Of
the Detroit Terminal Cold Storage

pleas OF mot guilty" ever registered
on police court, when he was arraign-
ed before Justice Stein, Wednesday
morning, on warrant sworn out by
James L. HELLER. OF Ann Arbor, a
state food inspector, who charges that
$500 cans OF pumpkin that he seized
in the storage company's warehouse
was unfit for human consumption.
Mr. Beamer declared 10 Justice
Stein that he and his firm are guilt
less of violation OF the pure food laws.

inspector did not belong TO them;
were never their property, and were
not shipped to them.

was sent 10 them for storage several
years ago, through Bowen & Co., local
brokers.
"We don't own 1t, and have no right
to destroy it, he says.

Many surprises are coming TO even
the local leaders, since undertaking
this campaign. They find the city is
much larger than even they believed
it TO be before they began the work

Those Leaders Conspicuous
By Their Absence

CHICAGO, Dec, 2.-Behind closed
doors, 100 Progressive leaders from
all parts OF the country met here to-
day, to review the results of the No
vember election and TO determine
what course they shall pursue In the
future.
Col. Roosevelt was conspicuously
absent, and o. X. Davis, secretary OF
the National Executive committee,
reported that the Bull Moose chief
tain sent no message to the confer
ence. George w. Perkins, chairman
OF the National Executive committee,
told the delegates that the colonel
was too busy writing war articles to
come to Chicago 1t was the general
opinion among the Moose leaders
that Col. Roosevelt had adopted a
hands off" policy to permit tho rank
and file to say what should be done
In the future.
Perkins and every other party
leader who would talk for pub
|lication, declared that the party will
continue its organization and have a
ticket In the field In 1916. despite
this years apparent reverse. Pri-
|vately, one Bull Moose state chair
man expressed the opinion that Re-
publican overtures for amalgamation
should be accepted, but he evidently
was In q hopeless minority.
Talk OF dissolving the Progress

Chairman Perkins. This country
needs the Progressive party and II is

Perkins said there Is no intention

fern Bull Moosers.
Senator Moses Il. Clapp, of Min
nesota, was the first speaker when
the delegates met at the Progressive
|club shortly before noon. Clapp is
