CALLS HORSE MEAT
A DANGEROUS FOOD
Director of Zoo Protests TO
Commissioner Emerson
Against New Ruling.

Health Commissioner Emerson re-
ceiyed Il letter yesterday from William
L. Hornaday. director OF the Bronx Zoo,
in which the latter protested against
the recently sanctioned sale OF horse
meat as food in this city. Only old ami
mails could be used, Mr.. ~llornaday as
serted. and these would be OF the lowest
grade and unfit to eat. Healthy horses
in his estimation. could o be bought
for less than $50 each. which would
make their meat c~ostlier than beef.
DR.. Hornaday pointed out the dtiftcui-
ties he had experienced In buying horse
meat for the animals OF the zoo. and the
necessity for strict inspection TO guard
against Infection. one prevalent source
OF danger, he said. was CHAMBERS. He
cited the case OF "a menagerie III Newark
where several animals had been led
with horse meat and had subsequently
died Of glanders.
In reply Dr. Emerson wrote
II do not anticipate any considerable
demand for the privilege of Strengthening
Of horses for food and the sale OF horse
meat for una consumption. DOUBT
less cattle and hogs UNIT for human
food escape even the present systematic
Federal and local inspection. hut as
horses are less subject to disease ar
fecting humans thar either hogs or cat
tie. and since CHAMBERS il practically the
only disease common to horse and man
in his city, | think we need not cross
that bridge until we come to IT.
when horses are offered for slaugh-
tering YOU will find that ampl" pre-
cautions to protect the public VIII nave

ONE TRIUMPH OF ACTING

Whether or not Harry Leon Wilson's
"Ruggles o. Red Gap" which has been
SC widely read. would prove equally
amusing In the form of q play was the
question that had to be answered by
the performance at the Fulton Theatre
last night. Harrison Rhodes had pre-
pared a three act version of the story
and Ralph Herr was there to- act the
leading role. which IL said to be the
seventh OF the kind THAT he has played.
The audience saw .he characters OF the
play first in Paris. They met the care
less aristocrat and saw his valet win
In a poker game. Further view Of for
eign life reveal the characters OF the
story at a party on Montmartre. Then
the locale of the drama returned 10
what might be called its native heath
and the Incidents in Red Gap. so familiar
to readers Of the book, enliven the later
adventures Of the hero. In its second
act the play takes on temporarily the
aspect OF musical comedy.
In all .ts manifestations, however.
"Ruggles OF Red Gap provided almost
unceasing entertainment for the au-
dience last night. Whether the play was
burlesque or farce. or any other inprob-
able form of drama, II served the i'm
portant purpose OF keeping the. specta-
tors in continuous hilafity. And II Will
probably amuse audiences with no es-
pecial curiosity as to why they laugh
for "A long time to come.
Ralph Here's Characterization OF the
valet subjected to so many unusual So
cial hange was a triumph of acting,
as he never departed from the "
and visible signs OF the eentleman's
gentleman. but indicated Will humor
and naturalness the mental struggles OF
the valet under such conditions. But
Mr.. Herr was always a fine actor. what
ever musical plays ma have done for
him later. Then he was not alone in
the onors OF the acting.
Jessie Ralph. as an u~nprincipled mem
Der of society with no thoughts Of snob-
bishness Louise Hale. as the social
s%truggler OF Red Gap: Frederick Bur
ton. as the incorrigible brothcr-all Of
them helped to make "Ruggles of Red
Gap" "A most amusing specimen Of what
is now offered to divert the metropolitan
public. And II will take a search to and
anything more diverting during the holi-
day season than the present play at the
Fulton Theatre. Its four acts are full
OF entertainment OF a varied and ire
sistible character.

members said that American firms were
stealing their ideas.
Contrary TO reports which were the

the past said Mr.. ortiz. They are
hereby invited to come to Paris as

''The various maisons de couture be-
longing to the said Syndicat wish 10
assure their American clients that everY-
thing will be dore to make their Visit
mutually pleasant and profitable.
However. a certain class OF concerns
operating in America, having been
shown beyond question to conduct a busl-
ness grossly detrimental to the interests
Of the great majority OF legitimate
