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. Special to The Georgian. Jackson,- Miss., June 7.—A decision of far-reaching Importance and ot es pecial interest to every prohibition state In the Union, has been rendered by Judge Niles, on the bill filed In the Harvert King Distilling Compnny, of Kansas City, seeking-to secure a man- 'datory Injunction compelling the American Express Compnny to accept for delivery C.

SECRECY'S VEIL T BY HAND OF DEATH man and woman live togeth er 17 YEARS AS BROTHER AND SISTER. By Private Leased Wire. Los Angeles, Cal., Juno 7.—Death has torn the veil of secrecy from the . r. °L WIIUbib Crosthtvalte and Mrs, A. E. Torrey, and revealed a story of double life that has startled the pious element of University district and set hundreds of tongues wagging. larefully guarding their common se cret, i'rosthwalte and Sirs. Torrey lived together ss brother and sister for sev- entren years and not until the sod of Hollywood cemetery had closed fore- ever above their earthly remains did the true story of their relatives come ‘e light. Though in his Eighty-fifth year, Wil iam i'rosthwalte was hale and hearty bp to his last Illness, which terminated fatally. Mrs. Torrey died six weeks “Her. aged almost 71. Not one of their neighbors dreamed that duplicity 'nnr'teil their existence. The sons are 1. L. Crosthwalte, presi dent Of the Atlantic Const Steamship 'ompany, with offlees In the Mills building.

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.
