THK ATLANTA GEORGIAN, fTEftDAT. JI NK If. r*<» 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.

Notwithstanding an al most universal scarcity of labor and wagaa reaching up to 11.10 a day and board for cotton choppers, the fields have been well cleaned. In many counties women and chil dren have worked In the cotton fields. Boll weevils are reported to be numer ous in many counties, but not perni ciously active as yet, except In a lim ited number, the hot, dry weather In the coast districts holding them In check. As a rule, the crop Is some what backward. j.EQUITABLE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR MUTUALIZATION »>• private Leased Wire.

No nrrent bns yet lieen uinde, nn the mur derer took to the woods and Is still st large. The polled commission either "don't knpw where It Is at” or else Aha 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 ling, and simply decided to “pass up” the matter. It waa expected the commission would endeavor to elect a captain dur ing the executive session, which la al ways held at tha cloee of a regular meeting. But not so. In street par- 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.

I- lance, ‘‘there waa nothing doing.” And the several aaplrants for tho Juicy plum were atlll left high in the air. 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. And until the commissioners can get together and solve the civil service problem. Police Sergeant Frank Whit ley will continue to act oa captain. When the commissioners will be able to get together la a question hard of solution. According to their own state ments, they are as much at sea aa though they were drifting in mid-At lantic In a canoe. When asked Tuesday when a cap- lain would be elected, Chairman Terry auppose one will be elected at the next meeting.” 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. Boose and That Pionie. "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.” The proposed contract with the Gamewell Electric Company for the Installation of a now signal system (ir the police department waa Introduced 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 ferred to the chief and chairman, to gether with Superintendent Jeff Wright, of the police department, and City Electrician Miles, for tbelr approval, commlarioner Oldknow objected, ex claiming: React fer Fred Miles. “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 restaurant man, to the effect that pro visions are now higher than when the first rate was made.
