 CHAIN 0F EVIDENCE
NO ESCAPE SEEMS POSSIBLE
Produces an UnbrOken Chain of Evidence Againt Dentist Charged With Murder of Wife's Parents.

NEW YORK. May 26.-The gov ernment has produced an unbroken chain of evidence against Dr. Arthur Waite, charged with the murder of John E. Peck and wife by the use of disease germs and poison. The chain is so complete that there is ap- parently not the slightest loophole for escape, and the conviction of the prisoner is practically assured.
 Tomorrow, the government will put on the stand Mrs. Margaret Horton, Waite's affinity, who shared studio with him in this city. She will testify, it is said as to purchases of poison made by Waite at various times, and will also relate conversations had with the prisoner that are particular ly damaging.
 So strong is the evidence against the accused, that Waite will make a personal appeal to the jury, it is said, setting up the allegation that he was insane when he planned the death of his wife's father and mother.

TO PACK POULTRY
Specialists Urge Unusual Care in
Preparing Fowls.
Methods Recommended Which Are
Essential to Perfect Product at
Any Time, Especially When
Weather Is Unfavorable.

Poultry packers are urged by the
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture to give unus-
ual attention to preparing and pack
ing their birds for shipment, particu-
larly if the mild weather, which has
been widely prevalent this autumn,
continues. The poultry specialists
say that the weather conditions in
many sections have been very similar
to those which prevailed in the au-
tumn of 1913 and which, as poultry
shippers will remember, proved dis
astrous to all packers who did not
dress, chill and pack properly.
The specialists, therefore, recon-
mend the particular observance of the
following methods of handling dressed
poultry, which are essential to a per-
feet product at any time and are of
vital Importance whenever weather
conditions are unfavorable:
Methods of Handling Dressed Poultry.
1. Keep the holding batteries for
your incoming stock clean, well aired,
and free from vermin, and see that the
chickens have plenty of fresh water
and plenty to eat.
2. Don't kill a chicken when the
crop is full of feed. Give the chicken
only water for "a hours before it is
killed. Food in the crop or in the in
t~estines of a dressed chicken causes
loss of flavor and hastens decay, which
more than offsets any gain from extra
weight.
3. Good bleeding is absolutely es-
sential to a good appearance on the
market and retards decay. Circular
81, bureau of chemistry, department of
agriculture, explains the best methods
of bleeding and loosening the feath-
err muscles fer dry picking.
4 Hang the chicken by both feet
while picking. Hanging by m leg
spoils the shape of the bird. Picking

on the lap gets the skin dirty and
hastens decay.
5. Dry pick If possible. Scalding
is particularly undesirable because it
hastens decay.
6. Chill every dressed bird until the
body temperature is below 35 degrees
F. Never pack or ship an imperfectly
chilled bird. More decay is due to
imperfect chilling than to any other
single factor in dressing. Dry chill, if
possible. Chickens cooled in water
lose flavor, decay sooner, will not cold
store as satisfactorily as dry-chilled,
and are in every way more undesirable
on the market. Refrigerator cars will
carry w~ell-chilled goods in good con
dition, but they cannot chill warm
goods to a sufficiently low tempera-
ture.
Z. Pack in boxes or small kegs when
ever possible. A large barrel makes
an undesirable package, because where
poultry is packed in large masses the
weight OF the upper layers CruSHeS
the birds at the bottom.
8. Line all packages with parchment
paper and cover the top Of the poultry
before the lid is put on.
8. Wrap every head in suitable pa
per so that blood from one bird will
not mar the appearance of another.
10. Use only good refrigerator cars
and see that they are in good order.
Ice and salt the car "a hours before
loading. The car, at the end of "a
hours should show a temperature be-
low 40 degrees F. at a point four feet
above the floor and between the doors.
General Suggestions.
Never handle chickens roughly,
either before or after killing. Rough
handling causes bruises, broken bones,
SCARED skins, and soft places in the
flesh. Undue haste on the part of the
killers and pickers results in lowered
keeping quality and poor appearance
of the product.
Piecework, which leads to quantity
rather than quality, makes for lower
prices on the market. Those who pay
by the piece should remember that.
they sell by the quality of the piece.
These directions will apply with
equal force to turkeys intended for tho
market.

TERRIFIC O r
OVER THE N
Heavy Losses of Life, Property and

One of the most severe storms for years has been speep-
ing over the whole country from meagre reports received.
Floods in California have caused a considerable loss of life
and a vast amount of property has been destroyed.
From Colorado comes reports of loss of stock, the ella
and Colorado rivers are running rife in Arizona. Kansas City
Missouri and Oklahoma are in the grip of the storm king.
Both branches of the Short Line, from this point north
have been blocked since last Thursday, and there are no pros
poets of immediate relief.
While the storm is still raging as the Recorder goes to
press and the snow banks are piled high over the tract, the
roads almost impossible, there is no report of suffering, nor
loss of stock. Fosters weather report promises a warm spell
and February thaw, within the next ten days.
