CREDIT MEN TO MEET
TO DRAW OP REPORT
A special meeting of the Credit
lien's Association of Atlanta has been
called for Thursday evening at 8:15
o'clock In the assembly hall of the
Piedmont hotel, for the purpose of re
ceiving and udoptlng the report of the
legislative committee, the call being
Issued by President Rhodes.
At the annual meeting of the asso
ciation which was held last month two
Important subjects presented them
selves for consideration and were re
ferred to the legislative committee for
action. The first subject was, "What
methods to adopt to eliminate bucket
shops within the state of Georgia.”
The second one was, ‘The best way to
secure prompt and satisfactory aettle-
ment of freight claims from the rail
roads.” -, 5
The report of the committee to which
the matter was referred have had two
bills drawn up, which, In their opin
ion, will cure the existing evils of the
first subject and facilitate the settle
ment of the latter.

REFUSED TO GRANT
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 7.—Far more startling: than anything heretofore print
ed about the beef trust methods were the revelations made by Mrs. Ella
Reeves Bloor Wednesday. She Is the Intrepid and shrewd woman who
Investigated the actual conditions In odorlous Packlngtown.
Working with her husband, Mrs. Bloor accomplished remarkable de
tective work and the results of her Investigations of the actual conditions In
the great plants were embodied In the official government report, which the
president used In his message to congress.
In writing about the frightful facts which she unearthed, Mrs. Bloor has
taken care to be entirely accurate, and she devotes herself to "hitherto
unprlnted discoveries, which had been suppressed.'*
8 horrible and nauseating as were
the facts that have already ap
peared In print In connection
with the exposure of the beef trust, a
thousand times more are the facts
which will perhaps never appear In
the newspapers, because of their na
ture And Immoral color.
Perhaps It Is better, after all, because
If the people saw and knew what I
found during my Investigation, there
would be considerably less meat eaten
and serious trouble might follow.
The details of the lard vat, and how
the men fell into the great caldrons of
hot grease and their bodies were later
fished out, but the tank never drained,
and that product sent out as pure and
wholesome lard Into our households;
the red filth of the killing rooms, tho
brute mannerisms and habits In voguo
at present In the canning rooms, and
all the other horrors too filthy to de
scribe, would force a nation to rise In
Its Indignation and demand from the
government Its satisfaction and tho
jailing of those responsible for the
wholesale poisoning of the people at
large.
Fell Into a Vat.
It would seem, fir.-ft of all, that os lit
tle consideration as is given the pro
ducts th^t are to go out Into the midst
of the people, much less care Is taken
for the protection against filth and
trickery* with the meat that Is fur
nished our soldiers and sailors.
The cry' seems to be "Any old thing
is good enough for the government,"
and to this end a perfected system
for cheating the government Is in oper
ation.
In the rendering department where
they manufacture lard, buttdine and
other by-products, the "scraps" from
the floors are used for the purpose of
rendering and they are thrown into a
great caldron. A small army of men
are employed here. ,
We discovered that a week before
our visit there a Polish workman had
fallen Into one of the vats. As soon
as the foremen of the room heard of
thta man's falling into the vat, all of
tho other men were ordered from the
By MRS. ELLA REEVES BLOOR.
room, with the exception of two help
ers, and the search for the body of the
worker began.
Body is Removed.
After an hour's work the body of this
man was removed from the tank and
carried off to an undertaker's estab
lishment. His widow was given $2,500
hush money and work was resumed in
the room.
Although the company denied' that
such conditions exist at present,
%vere fortunate In finding the man who
actually fished out the body.
"Was this tank emptied after the
finding of the bodyf" I asked this work
man.
"Indeed It was not, but it went out
ns fins lard the noxt day or so,"
marked the workman, laughingly.
"Why', y'ou don't think they threw out
that fine vat of lard nnd lost thousands
of dollars?” he added.
Other Contagious Diseases.
I have said previously that there
were many cases of men nnd women
who were suffering from tuberculosis
at work In the canning room. I want
to say now that there are many cases
of far more contagious diseases than
consumption at work In the factory.
And these men have with them their
medicines, leave the tablo where they
are at work, go Into small rooms pro
vided for them ns lunch rooms In some
cases, and return to their, work with
out even the washing of their hands.
Few of the plants supply running
water and towels In the rooms nnd
hence the men, when their hands be-
come soiled, Just rub them off on their
aprons or trousers.
Inspectors Don't Inspect.
I noticed In today’s paper that the
beef trust was attempting to answer
the charges made against it by declar
ing that Its system of Inspection was
perfect and that every pound of meat
that leaves their shops Is properly in
spected.
It Is but another attempt to throw
dust In the eyes of the public. It Is so
commonly known In the yards that In
spectors "do not Inspect," that when
we ask the men at work In the killing
beds various questions about Inspec
tion methods thoy scoff at our Ignor
ance.
They laughed at the very Idea of
rigid Inspection. Inspection to them
as a joke. The Inspecting was done
at the office of the companies and not
In the field.

ROSTER COMMISSION
HOLDS A MEETING
A meeting of the Confederate roster
commission was held In the office of
Governor Terrell shortly after noon
Wednesday, the governor returning
from Mllledgevllle at 11:10 o'clock.
This commission Is composed of Gen
eral C. A. Evens, chairman; Pension
Commissioner J. W. Lindsay, Governor
J. M. Terrell and Adjutant General
8. W. Harris.
The commission met for the purpose
of formulating a report to the gen
eral. assembly.. To date, some sixty,
six company rosters have been practi
cally completed at a total cost of about
$10,000.
To males the Confederate roster of
the state ss nearly complete as possi
ble, the commission ha* made an ear
nest effort to secure needed rolls from
the war department In Washington but
have found the estlmntes cost so high
that the Idea of securing the da's in
this way may be abandoned.
This will be reported to th- general
assembly along with the general re.
port, but probably without any re. om-
mendallqn for an appropriation for thin
purpose
GOSPEL UNION WANTS
TORREY AGAIN IN 190/
EX-GOVERNOR NORTHEN 18 RE
ELECTED PRESIDENT OF BU8I-
NESS MEN'8 UNION.
At the meeting of the Business Men's
Gospel Union, ex-Govemor William
J. Northen was re-elected as pres
ident. He was Instructed to make
arrangements for Dr. Torrey's
return next year for two months. A
deficit of $600 In current expenses,
money was announced.
There were about 2,000 people In at
tendance at the meeting In Wesley
Memorial church to testify to their
faith In the union. A resolution was
passed directing ex-pov.ernor Northen
to communicate Immediately with Dr.
Torrey, and make arrangements for his
return to Atlanta next year for two
months.
Thero was a reorganization of the
Business Men's Gospel Union, over
which Governor Northen presided.
Those seated near him on the platform
were Rev. J, H. Bakes, Rev. Charles
Q. Jon**,’ Rev. Bin Small, Rev. R. o.
Fllnn. Rev. J. W. Millard, Rev. L. O.
Broughton. Rev. A. R. Holderby, Rev.
Frank Fakes, Rev. Julian Rodgers,
Rev. C. C. Jarrell, and others.
Back of the ministers, In the choir
loft, were seated the following busi
ness and professional men: Asa G.
Candler, Frank Inman, Marlon Jack-
son, A. K. Hawkes, R. A. Hemphill,
E. Y. Clarke, E. C. Callaway, W. D.
Manly, Nym McCullough, C. ( D. Mont
gomery, W. C. Mansfield and W. 8.
Wltham. '
The service was full of Interest from
the time It opened 'until It closed.
Governor Northen said:
"None of the committee knew what
we would pay Dr. Torrey and Mr. Alex
ander until the meeting was drawing
to a close. Having made this remark
and the amount paid them having been
made public, aren’t aome of you heart
ily ashamed of yourselves for the wgjr
you have been talking?. How very/
very wicked'you have been! Why, The
Tampa Tribune had a publication to
the effect that Torrey waa demanding
$l,00o per week, and would leave If
ho did not get It, and this alleged
fact was telegraphed all over the coun
try. I have written the editor of this
paper that the devil used him to do hfs
ork—that for the time being, at least,
e was a servant of the devil."
That Awful Germ
The papers are every day teeming with discussions from lending physicians,
boardsof health and others, about various diseases,their cause, eta Some say milk,
some say waters, nnd the latter seems to be the leading monster.

not, it costs but little to cut tho chances out.

for the first time In over a-year there
is not a case of diphtheria In tho city,
and. In fact, only one cnao of con
tagious disease. Tho one case Is scar
let fever. Now that the schools have
closed their doors for the children to
enjoy tho long vacation. It Is believed

There are.some cases of typhoid fe
ver In the city, but not nearly so many
as has bqen rumored, nnd taking every
