That Atlanta butchers are dally slaughtering «fittlo which art 1 not fit for human food; that Atlanta meat dealers are dally Belling meat from aucli animals to housekeepers throughout the city; that Atlanta citizens are dally eating meats which would be condemn ed by an Inspector who carried out tho lairs of the city. Is the statement made by members of the county police. That thero Is anything new In such a statement Is laughed at by the officers, who say that It has been going on for years. The casual discovery of one In stance and a disruption of the recent Investigations In Chicago following the disclosures made in "The Jungle" brought out the facts. Last Tuesday aftomoon Officer Dun bar, of the county police, was asked by a woman living on the Marietta rood to assist her In finding a cow which had strayed. The search took the officer Into a small slaughter house about throe miles from the city, where he failed to find tho cow he wantod, but found other things. "They hud Just slaughtered one cow,' said Officer Dunbar In answer to quos tians, "which would have given birth to a calf within a very short time. The body of tho calf was taken from Its mother and I cannot say what was done with It. I have no reason to doubt that tho beef of the cow was sold to butch ers, as I know that this Is done every day and hatf been done for years. "Thts occurred at n small slaughter houso near tho Marietta road, about three mllos from tho city. The place Is used by a man named Bunletto or Bur- dett. 1 do not know his first namo. He 1m ft wholesale denier and sells to tho meat dealers In Atlanta." The beef from a cow which Is In the condition described by the officer Is unfit for food and Its sale Is forbidden by every board of benlth'ln the coun try. Tl»6 laws fix tho period ufter calving at which an animal may be slaughtered for food and the flesh sold Happens Often. "That Is nothing," said Chief Tur ner, of the county police department. "There Is nothing new In It. Why, I know of hundreds of enses where such meat has been sold. Evftry butcher handles It Not pnly Is. tho beef sold from tho cow, but In many Instances the unborn calf has been cut up nnd ■old for veal, though tho law requires that no calf weighing under fifty pounds be slaughtered for market" If the situation Is ns described there Is no safoty In the more avoidance of packing house meat nnd products. Tho nventlgntlon of tin- Chicago packing houses has mused a heavy deprecia tion In the demand for Western meats and many have depended entirely upon home products. It Is now shown that Investigation of local slaughter houses might reveal an Interesting condition. tOJESTVEI ASKS DEATH 1M MEN Pleads Guilty to Haul ing Down Czar’s Flag.
