told the Associated Press during an
informal talk. All transmission of
German dispatch has been stopped,
he said, and Germany has been asked
for an explanation of the abuse Of the

In his talk with the correspondent.
Admiral Lindman brought ont the fol-
lowing points.

First, that the swedish govern

quarters. taking the affair lightly,
but intended to do everything pos

Second, that transmission OF

Third. that had the Swedish
government had the slightest idea
Of the nature of the dispatches
which the German government was

Fourth. that strong representa-
tons had been addressed to the
German government on the abuse
made of this practice, accompanied
by request for explanation to

TO begin WITH" said the foreign
minister in the course Of the CONVEX
sation, Il want to emphasize the fact
that we are not taking this matter
easily. We deplore most sincerely that
a practice which has been exercised in
absolutely good faith has been gravely
abused and we are determined that
the condition which led to this result
shall be remcdied

The foreign minister has as yet been

Govt. Investigator Flays Columbia Meat
Shops and Cafes for Horrible Conditions

Camp Jackson, S. c., Dec. Maj
{. S. Frank. camp quartermaster, anc
the division surgeon, S1st division,
have recommended to the command
ing general of this division that or
ders be issued forbidding the men at
Camp Jackson from ordering meats
in the restaurants of Columbia. The
recommendation also suggests that it
might be advisable for the organiza-
tion at the cantonment to not buy
meats in Columbia.
This action was taken as a result
of an investigation made Of slaugh-
ter houses and. market stores IN Co
lumbia and vicinuity by John H.
| Farrell, United States meat inspeo-
tor. The investigation was made at
the request of Major Frank Mr.. Far
rell's report. which is dated Nov. 81.
declares "that conditions were much
the same in all slaughter houses, fill
thy; only one slaughter house being
equipped with running water"
Conditions horrible" must be
seen to be understood" says the re-
port in reference to the inspection OF
one meat market in Columbia The
report continues:
WAS present at several slaughter
houses when slaughtering was in
operation. The process used by the
butchers, all colored, was very un.
sanitary, due to the scarcity OF wa
tier. Blood and filth were everywhere;
decayed fat and bones had accumu-
lated in some places, thereby con
terminating the previously slaugh-
tered cattle hanging in crude COM
partments adjacent to the slaughter.
ing floor.
In Slaughter Houses
Conditions were much the same ir
all slaughter houses. filthy; offal
from killing floors was fed to hogs
including the viscera. unborn calves
etc. The contents of the viscera were
not removed or cleaned. The heads
of cattle, shin bones and shank.
were strewn about the premises, al
lowed to decay and contaminate tn
soil and stock pens. Where hogs wer,
slaughtered the hair and toes wer,
left on the premises to decay"
In concluding his report Mr.. Far
rell says
Respectfully recommend that tn
city health authorities attention b
