BEANS HELD TO BE BAD

Years Crop in Michigan Poor and
Under Suspicion.

> Des Moinos, April 25.-Federal and
state food inspectors yesterday located
two carloads of canned beans in Des
Noines which are under suspicion az
being unfit for food. Samples were
sent TO the state dairy and food de-
partment laboratory and to the ma
tIonal laboratories at Washington, ID
/ G.. for analysis to determine whether
the shipments shall be seized and de-
, s1royed.
In the meantime the beans will re-
main in freight cars under seal. The
inspectors confiscated a carload OF
canned beans at Ottumwa yesterday
Three other shipments into Iowa. out
Of nifty carloads which were sent out
from Michigan in the last two weeks,
are being investigated.
Bean Crop no Good.
The authorities say that last year
the bean crop of Michigan was at
tackled by growth which caused a
portion OF the beans TO decay. after
being sacked and stored The best OF
the beans. W. II. Harrison. assistant
state chemist explains. were bought
for the bulk trade. Some of the can
ming factories have tried to use the
remainder by sorting out the beans
which are IN bad condition. Appar-
emily one canning plant did not use
care in sorting and canned fifty car
loads of beans not fit for food The
government now is tracing all of
these shipments and will withdraw
them from the market.
companies which purchased the beans
in question, did SO in good faith, cx-
pecting to receive the beans in good
condition. The work OF the inspectors
will make certain that no canned
stuff not fit for food will get into
the hands of the retailers. so con
surners are in no danger Of purchas-
ing moldy beans, the state officials
say.
Federal inspectors seized car
load Of adulterated vinegar last week
at Ottumwa and another carload is
under suspicion at Dubuque.
Meal Under Guarantee.
Ten additional cars OF cotton seed
meal, claimed to be aduIterated, have
been shipped into Iowa and are being
traced by state inspectors. This meal
is sold under a guarantee of contain
ing Al per cent OF protein. Under in
spection it Is found to run from "a to
SO per cent protein. The meal is used
extensively in feeding cattle.

charging adulteration of the meal.
If courts follow the custom of filming

the total fines to be collected in the
100 cases will reach $4,000, the Of
ficials say. Cotton seed meal is valued
at $500 a car. deductions OF 20 per
cent in the nutritive value of the meal
means a loss of about s125 per car to
the farmer. The southern firms have
been reimbursing the farmers for their
losses. but the state department avs
this will not relieve them of prosecu-

ELECTION RESULT IN DOUBT.
Light Vote at Hampton May Prevent
Water Works Extensions.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, April 26.-On the face OF
the returns the water works questions
voted upon here Monday both carried
by good majorities, but the vote was
very light, and many declare that for
that reason the propositions are both
lost. The number OF men who voted
was 262. and Of women there were 100
who exercised their privilege. 1t is de-
clared by some that a majority OF the
male vote at the last election is re-
quired in order to carry the questions.
Under this rule we are short seventeen
votes.
There is no mistaking the intent OF
those voters who recorded their will
on the propositions, for without ex-
ception in any ward. or in the case OF
the mems or women's votes, more votes
were cast for than against either ques-
ton, in some cases ten or more to one
