Jtrsay City, N. J, Feb. 22.—Declaring
that the health of 8,000.000 Is Jeopar
dized by the beef trust, by Ife flooding
tho market with unlit food which has
been held months and years In cold
storage, Prosecutor Garven. of Hudson
county, today conferred with his lieu
tenants on the evidence to be submit
ted at tho grand Jury tomorrow.
It Is asserted that Indictments al
ready voted would be returned this
week against all the Chicago million
aire directors of the National Packing
Company and that the corporation
would be reindicted. The prosecutor’s
onion la under constant guard, and a
force of spies, the prosecutor charges,
has besieged his office In an attempt to
trace his work and that of his men.
A new phase of the light on the com
bine may be taken up—the charge that
the packer* control tho wheat and hay
markets and have put the screws on the
farmers by sending them prices of
those commodities.
According to the evidence In the pos
session of Mr. Garven. It Is a common
f tracllce to take poultry that has been
n cold storage from one to two years,
and by the use of chemicals and the
smearing of blood from recently killed
chickens, to give It the look of fresh
ness.
One witness exhibited a turkey
which, he said, had been In cold storage
seven years, nnd declared-hi* willing
ness to eat of It. Experienced men
declared that after a year In cold (for
age meat loses Its nutritive value and
become* tasteless, and say that
limit of safety le nine months.

Albany, N. Y„ Feb. 22.—The lid was
hoisted off the mess that hoe stirred
the Republicans of the state over since
the Allds scandal started today, when
SenAtor Benn Conger wan ordered to
name thr bribe-takers. The namo of
Assemblyman Doughty, of Queens,
waa brought Into the case and then
Colonel Dunn, chairman of tho Repub
lican state committee, was natped' os
the man to whom was handed a tS.noo
fund raised In 1908 by the bridge com
panies to prevent Inimical examina
tion.
Conger wan not allowed to make
these revelations without a sharp con
flict In the senate.
Senator -Brackett, objecting to the
decision of the chairman on the nam
ing of tho men Involved, said he appro-
elated tho fact thnt there were many
on the verge of hysteria on the sub
ject of Investigation, but he wanted to
be recorded against the pmponltlon that
a witness should be compelled to tell
of hearsay evidence.
Senator Grady, rending from the rec
ord, showed that tho question was not
hearsay evidence, but was on whether
Burnett hud told him he was to divide
the money with other*.
Conger said. In answer to the ques
tion, that his brother had told him
Burnett was to divide It.
Senator Walnwright: "What did he
say?"
Senator Conger: "He suld Mr. Bur
nett claimed he would have to have
considerable money and that he (Bur
nett) would have to take care of the
chairman of the internal nfrnJrs com
mittee and olhera on Ihe floor."
Chairman Wants Facts.
Senator Brackett moved to atrike out
tha question and answer, still holding
that the queatlon and answer waa
henrsay evidence. Th# chairman de
nied the motion.
The chairman of the cominltteo on
Internal affairs at that tlmo Was
Aesemblyman Doughty, of Queens.
Senator Conger said that Fred W.
Sage, of the Beaver Falls Bridgo Com
pany. told a conference of bridge men.
of whom Conger waa tine. In Albany
that a member of the legislature was
demanding money. The bridge com
panies raised a fund which wu.< placed
In the hands of George Newell. Thl*
fund waa returned.
Mr. Osborne then questioned the
witness In reference to the fund raised
by Ihe various bridge companies.
Semi-Annual Meeting of the
Farmers’ Union Held
on Tuesday.
PRESIDENT BARRETT
ADDRESSES GATHERING
More Than 1,200 Delegates
Attend Convention in Hall
of the House of Rep
resentatives.
His Condition Is Improved
(Copyright by Underwood A Understood. New Turk.)
BENJAMIN RYAN TILLMAN.
The senior senator from South Carolina, who was stricken suddt
at Washington several days ago, has partially recovered hi* speech
shows considerable improvement. This is a late photograph.
“Increase tho acreage of food-pro
ducing crops."
This was the keynote of the speech
of President J. W. Lee, before one of
tho largest nnd moat enthuslastlo
meetings of - the Formers * union tn
Georgia Tuesday morning In the hall of
tho house of representatives at the
state capitol. ‘
The spacious hall was jammed and
It was estimated that fully 1,200 dele
gates, representing nearly all the coun
ty and local lodge* In the state, were
present. National President C. 8. Bar
rett also spoke.
This was the semi-annual meeting
of the atnte organization, and coming
midway between the - two regular
meetings, the program was devoted ex
clusively to th* transaction of hu«l-
ncss, the appointing of new commit
tees and the discussion of matters of
Interest to the members of the union.
Present conditions nnd preparation for
the coming crops were tho chief topics
of Interest '•
President Lee’s Addreit.
President l-ee took up the light for
tho farmers of the country against tha
present abuse of the cotton "tare." Ho
urged tho members to keep up an ac
tive campaign. lie said the farmers
were willing for the actual weight of
the tics nnd bagging to be deducted,
hut no more. Tho ivelght of the tare
Is usunlly about eighteen pounds, hut
the dealers tnke off about thirty.(lx
pound*.
President Leo’* remarks were re
garded with much Importance when he
referred to tho production of food crops
because of the recent boycott on meat
and Investigations In congress as to
the high price* of foodstufTs. i
President Lee told his hearers that
the farmer should bo the most Inde
pendent of all the people In the coun
try. He told them that with an ade
quate acreage of food crops that would
produce enough for his own consump
tion njid a little more, would prevent
the high prices, nnd If prices did go
high, he would not bo worried, be
cause Ids own smokehouse and larder
should be full nil the time.
President Barrett wan the next
speaker, and his flrat remarks were
about the campaign In Washington. I,.
<'■• against the gambling features c in -
nacted with the hlg cotton exchanges.
"The farmers can eliminate the gam
bling features from the cotton ex
changes." said he. "|f they would go
at It right. They could get these
abuses abolished If they went at the
matter lit a systematic manner.
•The farmer can get any legislation
he wants. There Is no need for him to
organist a new party to enable hint to
secure legislation he needs. He can
get tills legislation without being ac
cused of being for or ngalnst anylH,d>’s
political party If he will only g|\e his
congressman to understand that lie
must have such legislation as d-mand-
I.ct him understand that he will
he left at home at the next election
unless he gives tho farmer the Just
laws he needs."
President Barrett read a letter that
will be published later which Included
the demands of the farmers of the
country as expressed In state and na
tional convention*.

Councilman From Ninth Ward
Says He’ll Quit If Appropri
ation Is Diverted.
I’LL NOT BE MEMBER
OF ANY ANANIAS CLUB”
Says That If Money Is Used to
Pay Interest on Bonds,
He’ll Retire to Pri
vate Life.
Councilman Aldine Chambers, of the
Ninth ward, declines to become a mem-
btr of the Ananias club. And the
councilman la out on the warpath with
his scalp knife sharpened for those who
seek to place him In that historic and
flourishing organization.
And. furthermore, the councilman
from Ihe Ninth Is dead serious and he
stated Tuesday that he will renlgn hie
position unless he 1* relieved from tho
embarrassing situation.
Here's the why: , ...
The city of Atlanta needs this year
$100,000 with which to make the flrst
annual payment on the $3,000,000 bond
Issue. No provision was made for It In
ihe January apportionment sheet and
In order to secure the necessary sum It
must b* made up from appropriations
made In that sheet for other purpose*.
Where the Trouble I*.
After a stormy debate Monday after
noon council voted to take the fund
zpproprlated for street and chert work
and contingent upon the passage of the
bond* and refer It to the finance com
mittee for the purpo*e of assisting In
miking up tha S 100,040.
There's the rub.
Councilman Chambers la chairman
of ihe streeti committee. He has prom
ised ihe people, he says, In speeches
for the bond Issue that thl» money waa
sppmpriated for (treat work contingent
upon the bond Issue. Th# bond# passed,
and now. If the finance committee, aid
'd and abetted by council, takes thl*
money from the street fund Mr. Cham
bers will be placed In the category of
Hi subjects for the Ananla* club. So
toys the councilman himself.
If tho present plan Is followed, ac
cording to Mr. Chambers, here are the
«um» that will be taken from him:
From street# ordinary. $20,000; from
■treet repair*. $3,000; from street pay
rolls, 18.000; from chert fund, $28,000;
from belglan block repair*. $2,000; from
Harletta-at. paving from Tabernacle
■'lace to Norih-ave., $13,000, making a
otal of $88,000.
"But not only that," say* Mr Cham
bers, "Ihoy propose to take from my
sard, the Ninth, the $12,000 which was
tpproprlated for a Are engine house,
hus making the streets committee and
iy ward pay $80,000 on thl* $100,000.
"If* outrageous,” he declared. -I
limply win not stand for It. nnd If
•ounoll and the finance committee In-
H»t on It I will resign. I can not be
ilsred in the attitude of having prom
eed the people this street work, condl-
loned on the bond Issue, and then be
dared in the attitude of deceiving them
liter the bonds have passed.”
It Is stated that the finance commlt-
'e propose* to secure an additional
110.000 from the amount appropriated
o the sanitary department.
