SECOND MURDER
TRIAL STARTED
CHARLES ROBBINS ARRAIGNED
AT RAPID CITY FOR FATAL
QUARREL OVER WOMAN.

Rapid City, S. D.-Before an
other crowded courtroom, the second
murder trial in a week has com
menced. This time Charles Robbins
of this city is fighting for his life as
the defendant, charged with the
murder here Oct. 21, of Joe Pattal-
inc. Like the Hardesty trial last
week, a woman, Mrs. Florence Hal
ley, a Divorce, is one of the central
figures, the tragedy winding around
her affections for two men. The
state alleges that Pattaloni did not
have a gun on his person when he
was killed while the defense charges
that he had threatened to kntIe
Robbins.
The central figure in the trial,
Mrs. HALEY, testified that Robbins
had shown the gun to her previous
to the shooting and remarked that
he was going to kill that Dago that
goes with you to shows She said
she had known both men only a few
weeks, but knew Pattaloni first. She
described the shooting and told how

been forty-seven acres at the time
of the survey over q -half century
ago. The filing was accepted, and
he stated that since the time of the

feature is that all the land adjoin-

ALCOHOL AS
- WAR FACTOR
PHYSICIAN SAYS TEA
AND COFFEE HAVE PRE-
VENTED EUROPE FROM
MUCH INTOXICATION.

Correspondence of the Associated
Prostitution, England.--Sir
James Crichton-Browne, the famous
physician, expresses the belief that
alcohol will be found to play a part
in the issue Of the present war, both
actively and negatively.
Tea" declares Sir James, "has
been one of the saviors of mankind.
1 verify believe that but for the in
PRODUCTION of tea and coffee Europe
might have drunk itself to death.
Il am no uncompromising or ia
NAUTICAL opponent of alcohol. l be-
lieve it has played a part in human
revolution, that it has it's social asses,
and that it is an invaluable remedy
in certain stages of unhealth and
disease. 1t is probable, however,
THAT its evolutionary mission is full
filled, and as regards its social use,
it is becoming more and more cir
cumscribed."
Demand Stricter Regulation.
Every day the demand for a strict
er regulation of sthe sale of liquor
during the war becomes more insis-
tent. Military authorities are dis
gusted with the drunkenness of sol
diers brought about by the disposi-
Ition of civilians to treat all men in
uniform.
Lord Kitchener, who has issued
numerous protests against the treat
ing of his soldiers, without the desir.
ed results, recently made this appeal
to the new army for temperance:
THE men who have recently Joined
the colors are doing their utmost tc
prepare themselves for active ser
vice with the least possible delay
This result can only be achieved i.
by hard work and strict sobriets
they keep themselves thoroughly fl
and healthy"
Social Workers Aroused.
The increase of drunkenness!
among women, especially among wo
men whose husbands have entered
the, service, has fallen under the oh
servation of social workers, ant
many delegations have appeared be
fore licensing justices in an effor
- check this practice by regulation
of some sort.
Lady Byles, Mrs. Mckenna, Mrs
James Cow and many other prorin
ent women COMPOSED a d%elegatjol
which recently visited Mr.. McKenn;
at the home Office and asked his as
sistance in battling the wave of al
coholism. The prohibition of TIN
sale of liquor before noon was SUE
gested as a regulation that would
lessen the temptation offered by pub
lie houses.
Mr.. McKenna replied hat i
would require a new act from parlia
ment to enable him to curtail TIL
hours, of liquor selling further. IL
promised to submit the suggestion
to The house. ..

GREAT AMOUNT OF

Jacksonville, Fla,-Over 10000
100000 pounds of meat ana meat
products have been inspected and
of it more than as, 900. 600 pounds
have been condemned by the Fed
eral Meat Inspection Service in the
past eight years. These facts were
made public by George H. Shaw, San

Department of Agriculture. bureau,
of animal industry in an address be-
Association here today.
Over 100000 whole %carcasses
and over 5,5O0,O00 parts of carcass
es have been condemned as unfit for
food, he said. Mr.. Shaw added:
EFT is estimated that go per cent
of the meat supply of the country is
federally inspected. OF the remaining
forty per cent. a portion receives
more or less efficient local inspection
This uninspected portion is often
prepared un most unsavory condi-
Iprepared in most unsavOry condi-
ly derived from animals having con-
siderably higher percentage of dis
ease than those Slaughtered under
federal inspection, since tuberculous
lrdairy COWS and suspicious looking
animals are often sent to such es-
Establishments to avoid condemnation
by Federal inspectors.
"The remedy is to be found in eff
Gent state and municipal inspection
and the development of the municip-
al abattoir system common in Europe
An abattoir of this kind will elimin-
ate the nuisance caused by several
scattered, ill-smelling, and insani-
tary slaughter houses, will enable
inspection to be conducted at a mini
mum cost, and will make possible the
utilization of by-products now usual
" wasted"
Asserting that the economist will
doubtless deplore the loss for food
purposes of the large quantities OF
meat condemned, Mr.. Shaw said:
Until recently no provision was
made for a second grade product
from animals affected locally and
only slightly diseased, as is common
in Europe. The new regulations
which went into effect in November
1914, however. permit the use OF
he Wholesome portions of such meats
when thoroughly sterilized and prop.
erly labeled. This, provision is ex.
oected to add considerably to the
amount OF meat available for food
purposes"
