SINCLAIR BRANDS PACKERS’ TRUST WORST OF ALL;
ROBBED THE SHIPPERS, DEALERS AND CONSUMERS
T he American people now have be
(ore them one of the greatest op.
_ . portunltles of their lives; one of
Ih. t rimlnal trusts, their enemies—
the very worst of them—has been
taught with the goods.
U Is bad enough'to levy an unjust
fas upon the coal supply of the whole
community, compelling Ihe poor
free** In winter, or to levy such a tax
ep. n transportation nr upon oil; but
a or ..1 of all is to deprive ihe people of
their food supply, for food Is the chief,
e-t of their necessities. That Is the
Beef Trust.
It opposes the people in many ways.
It collects rebates and It charges the
s tipper for Ice which It never uses. It
drives the small butcher out of busi
ness; It has ruined the stock raising In-
dj-try In whole states. It has raised
me price of every man's beefsteak live
cents per pound In the last live years,
ami all this is bad enough; but when
the public has paid for the food It gets
p.>l«on Instead.
It has been getting It for thirty years.
The Beef Trust magnates were so used
to selling It that they never dreamed
that any one would care.
Then President Roosevelt sent two of
his personal friends to Investigate.
They heard about It and they set to
work to clean up, as I have positive
knowledge, direct from (he men who
did the cleaning. Rut you cannot clean
thirty years of filth In ten days. You
cannot change the habits of a lifetime,
no mattes how much you may want
to. Th* 'president's commission were
honest men and they went everywhere,
working diligently and faithfully, and
they got absolute, positive and Irrefut*
able evidence that the American people
were being deliberately and systemat*
■rally fed upon poison.
Dead and diseased animals were be*
Ing used. Every portion of the anl-
male were being used—the skins, the
necks, the ears. Old meats were be
ing doctored over—having come bark
rejected from every corner of the civ-
lilted world. Meats which were falsely
labeled were dyed with chemicals.
Meats which should have been smoked
were painted Instead to save the trou
ble. All this the commission found,
and It stated It to the president.
A bill had been Introduced to reform
Written especially for The
Georgian by the author of
“The Jungle,” the novel
which laid bare the stock
yard atrocities.
By UPTON SINCLAIR.
conditions. The packers had their lob
by all ready In one day, and they had
caused one thousand telegrams to be
sent to the president from all over the
country. Then suddenly they learned,
of what was In the report, and their
opposition collapsed. Every power they
could muster was set at the task of
keeping It back; every power which
they could command Is being used this
minute to keep It back. All their lob
byists are recalling the memory of all
the campaign funds that they have
ever contributed.
The poor, helpless stock raisers,
whom they have under their thumb,
have been terrified by a drop In prices,
caused by the discovery of the activi
ties of these pirates of commerce.
Therefore all their senators and repre
sentatives are stlrrsd up. The report
must be kept back, Is the word. To
accomplish this they are willing to sub
mit to a bill which saddles the 14,000,-
000 cost of Inspection upon them, al
though such a proposal had never been
heard of until I suggested the Idea to
Henntor Beveridge.
They submit to this bill because they
know, when the storm has blown over,
they can use It all as an advertisement.
They can kill all their diseased cattle In
their local slaughter houses, where the
Federal Inspectors have no authority.
All this beautiful program depends
upon one achievement—the suppression
of the Nelll-Reynolds report
What other president besides Theo
dore Roosevelt would take the trouble
to send a secret embassy Into Packing-
town to get the exact truth? How
could any Beef Trust magnate be ex
pected to provide against such a con
tingency? . It was unnatural, mon
strous, altogether against the rules.
The next-president will play, the game
according to the rules. There will be
no more real Investigations.
Already you get rumors of the other
kind of an Investigation. Beef Trust
representatives are beginning to talk of
a "real, worth-while" congressional
Investigation—a holiday party during
vacation time. A resolution will be
passed, and the packers will know all
about it ;< rt.onth b*f ,ro hand. All the
slaughter houses will be cleaned, pol
lshed and secubbed .with vArmour’s
"r\Ivan soap." "A soap with a setltl-
ment," Mr. Armour calls It, and It Is
gathered from the filth of Hubby ''n ek.
an open sewer of the flacking houses.
All the workingmen will put on new
white aprons and will have their hands
and faces washed under orders from
the office. Packlngtown will be turned
Into Spotless Town, and the congres
sional committee will march through
with banners flying and the bands
playing, "We Never Done Nothin' to
So the muck-rake man will be burled
In his muck. The fears of the public
will be set at rest and the condemned
meat Industry will go merrily onward
again—1400,000,000 worth to Eu
rope alone, and how much to America
the Beef Trust atone can tell.

The polled commission either "don't

knowledge of "where It Is at” has
given It a fright.
The commission, every member pres-,
snt, met Monday night and after a
•eeslon of nearly three hours adjourned
without electing a police captain to
succeed former Captain Moon, as was
forecasted In The Georgian of Monday
afternoon.
In fact,. this question of filling the
vacancy, a matter of great Importanca
to the department and one In which
the entire force Is Interested, was not
even mentioned. It was (he cause 6f
considerable comment that former Cap
tain Moon was present during the en
tire eesslon.
There seemd to be no disposition on
the part of the board to tackle the
mooted civil service proposition, which
Is directly connected with the election
of the new captain, and on which tha
commission Is said to be equally di
vided. It la understood that had the
election come up, the commissioners
would have voted four In favor of
electing under civil service and four
against, which would have meant no
election. .
Evidently realising this, the commis
sioners had no desire to go through
the form sf useless voting und wrang

the matter.
It waa expected the commission
would endeavor to elect a captain dur

MRS. YERK'S FAVORITE
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
By Private Leased-Wire.
New York, June 14.—The suicide of
Benjamin Howard, of ’The Rollick
ing Girl” company, who was found
dead on a bench In Riverside drive, wss
less due to the unrequited love of a
certain actress, according to Broadway
wiseacres, than to disappointment over
the reported reconciliation of Wilson
Mlxner and his bride, the former Mrs.
Charles Yerkes.
Howard, according to his own admis
sion and to the knowledge of other the
atrical people who were welcomed to
the Yerkes mansion, was a frequent
visitor there. He had a very sweet
sympathetic tenor voice and Mra.
Yerkes waa particularly fond of his.
singing.
Mrs. Yerkes had a penchant for sing
ers, and her neighbors, say that It waa
not unusual to hear popular ballads
sung by baritone and tenor voices float
ing from the palm room of the Yerkes
mansion until 3 or 4 o'clock In the
morning.
Howard waa the most popular of
Mrs. Yerkes' clientele and he was per
haps her most frequent caller until Mr.
Mlxner appeared.
Howard regained the entre to the
Yerkes house again subsequent to tha
marriage. It was after Misner went to
Washington to attend to some personal
business. When Mlxner returned he
found the doors of his bride's home
closed against him. Two telegrams
throw light on the situation:
“Benjamin Howard: Tha Idiotic, pa
thetically Imbedlelc lies you told Mrs.
Mlxner reached me today. Apologise
and retract by wire, or will make an
example of you and teach you to re-
member volcano. Make your loans
hereafter of men and Interfere In my
personal affairs again at your peril.
(Signed) "GEORGE P. CRATER.
To this Howard replied:
“George P. Crater: Statement to
Mrs. Mlxner was quoted to me In De
troit by George Howard, as emanating
from you. Regret If I was misinformed.
(Signed) “BENJAMIN HOWARD.'"
The significance of these telegrams
may need explanation. George P.
Crater, a Broadway character, who
wears diamond setting in the gold fill
ings of his teeth. Is a brother of the
actrees, Alleen Crater, opce the wife
of Wilson Misner. Although Misner
and Miss Crater had separated and
were divorced, Crater appeared her
practical manager or beet friend, under
cover, for Misner In his matrimonial
exploit. His chagrin resulted when
the doors of the Yerkes mansion were
closed against Misner because Howard
told Mrs. Mlxner that her young hus
band had never been divorced from
Miss Carter and was, therefore, not
legally able to marry Mrs. Yerkes.

When Chairman Terry reached the
head of election! In the general order
of buslnesa, It Is understood he called
out:
‘‘Elections of ofileers.”
A Qulek Response, "Adjourn."
There was.* quick response, but It
had nothing to do with elections. There
was a motion to adjourn. It received a
quick second. The sentiment to “hands
oft” of the captaincy election wea
unanimous, and the motion to ndjourn
carried. The commissioners picked up
their hats and canes, those who carry
them, and filed out of the room and
wended their way homeward.

Investigation! Evaporate.
Leary of civil service, the commis
sion appears to have grown equally
tired of Investigations. Three were
scheduled for Monday night, but tha
trio evaporated to unexpected fashion.
On motion of Mayor Woodward, tha
caaea against Station Sergeants Tur
ner and Mitchell, accused of allowing
Edna Rexford, the former chorus girl,
to use the police station as a dressing
room, and Detective Lockhart, charged
with conduct unbecoming an ofilcer,
were dismissed without hearing.
The mayor said he didn't think there
was anything In either of the cases,
and the other commissioners agreed
with him readily.
Policemen W. G. Phillips and H. K.
Whitaker were tried on the charge of
being Intoxicated and were discharged
from the force.
Ofilcer Whitaker pleaded guilty to
Intoxication while In uniform at tha
recent police picnic at Pearl Springe.
During the meeting Captain English
created somewhat of a stir by refer
ring to the alleged misconduct at the
police picnic.

"I would like'to know something of
that picnic,” said Captain English. "I
have heard It persistently rumored on
Ihe streets, and other commissioners
may have heard It also, that there
was considerable Intemperance on the
picnic and among members of tha force
at that. Several cltlsens have ap
proached me on the subject I would
like for ihe chief to give os some In'
formation about the picnic.”
Chief Jennings replied:
“Captain, these reports have been
brought to my attention and 1 am hav
ing the matter thoroughly Investi
gated.”

Gamewell Electric Company for the
Installation of a now signal system (ir

and referred to the city council, the
discussion bringing from Commission
er Oldknow severe criticism of the city
electrician, Fred B. Miles. A motion
was made that tha contract be re

of the police department, and City
Electrician Miles, for tbelr approval,

“I don't think the city electrician
should have anything to do with thla
matter. He* would know nothing about
It. anyway. I am thoroughly disgusted
with him. He Is the weakest I have
ever seen.”
The commissioner made no explana
tion of hit criticism.
The commission voted to Increase the
price of meals for prisoners from 7 to
10 cents each. This was dons on a
communication from L. B. Folsom, the
