! SINCLAIR BRANDS PACKERS’ TRUST WORST OF ALL;
ROBBED THE SHIPPERS, DEALERS AND CONSUMERS
T HE American people now have be
fore them one of the created op
portunities of their lives; one of
the criminal trusts, their enemies—ami
tlie very worst of them—has been
caught with the foods.
it - bad enoucli to levy an unjust
tax upon the coal supply of ths whole
er uininclty. conipelllnf the poor to
freeze la winter, or to levy such a tax
upon transportation or upon oil; but
worst of all Is to deprive the people of
their food supply, for food Is the chief-
r-t of their necessities. That Is the
He.|f Trust.
Jt opposes the people In many ways.
11 collects rebates and It charges the
shipper for Ice which it never uses. It
drives the small butcher out of busl-
i.asb; It has ruined the stock raisins In
ti u-try In whole states. It has raised
tic price of every man's beefsteak live
cents per pound In the last live years.
And all this la bad enough: but when
the public has paid for the food It gets
I 'lson Instead.
It has been getting It for thirty years.
Thu Beef Trust magnates were so used
to selling It thst 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 the men who
did the cleaning. But you cannot clean
thirty years of filth In ten days. Tou
cannot change the habits of a lifetime,
no matter how much you may want
to. The 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
ically fed upon poison.
I>ead and diseased animals were be
ing used. Every portion of the ani
mals were being used—tne skins, the
necks, the ears. Old meats were be
ing doctored over—having come back
rejected from every corner of the civ
ilised 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
Wrilteu especially for The
Georgian by the author of
“The Jungle," the novel
which laid bare the stock
yard atrocities.

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
oppoeltlon 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
byist! are recalling the memory of all
the campaign funds that they have
ever contributed.
Tke poor, helpless stork raisers,
whom they hare 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 stirred 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 >4,000,-
000 cost of Inspection upon them, al
though such a proposal had never been
heard of until I suggested the Idea to
Senator 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 rule-. There will be
no more real Investigations.
Already you get rumors of the other
kind of nn 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 a month before hand. Alt the
slaughter houses will be cleaned, pot
Ished and scrubbed .with Armour's
"sylvan snap." “A soap with a sent!
ment," Mr. Armour calls It, and It Is
gathered from the filth of Rubby Creek,
an open sewer of the packing houses.
All the workingmen will put on new
white aprons and will have their hands
and faces washed under orders from
the office^ Pscklngtown will be turned
Into Spotless Town, and the congres
sional committee will march through
with banners flying - and the bands
•laying. "We Never Done Nothin'
,’obody."
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—>400,000,000 worth to Eu
rope alone, and how much to America
the Beef Trust alone can tell.

The commission, every member pres

without electing a police captain to

forecaslsd In *fhe Georgian of Monday

In fact, this question of filling the

to the department and one In which
the entire force la Interested, was not

considerable comment that former Cap

ths part of the board to tackle thn

Is directly connected with the election
of the new captain, nnd on which the
commission Is said to be equally di

election come up. the commissioners

MRS. YERK'S FA VORITE
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, June If.—The suicide of
Benjamin Howard, of “The Rollick
Ing Girl" company, who was found
dead on a bench In Riverside drive, Was
less due to the unrequited love of a
certain actress, according to Broadway
wiseacres, than to disappointment over
the Reported reconciliation of Wilson
Mlsner 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 Mrs.
Yerkes was particularly fond of his
singing.
Mrs. Yerkes had a penchant for sing
ers. and her neighbors say that It was
not unusual to hear popular ballads
sung by baritone nnd tenor voices float
ing from tha palm room of the Yerkes
mansion until 1 or 4 o'clock In the
morning.
Howard was the most popular of
Mrs. Yerkes' clientele and he was per-
ips her most frequent caller until Mr.
Mlzner appeared.
Howard regained the entre to the
Yerkes house again subsequent to the
marriage. It was after Mlsner. went to
Washington to attend to some personal

lance, "there was nothing doing.” And
the several aspirants for the Juicy
plum were stIU left high In the air.
When Chairman Terry reached the
head of elections In the general order
of bualpeas. It Is understood be called
out;
"Election* of officers.”
■A Quick Response, “Adjourn.”
There was a 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 was
unanimous, and the motion to adjourn
carried. The commissioners picked up
their hats and canes, those who carry
them, ami tiled out of the room and
wended their way homeward.
And until the commissioners ran get
together and solve the civil service
ley will continue to act as captain.
When the commissioners wilt be able
to get together Is a question hard of
solution. According to their own state
ments, they are as much at sea as
though they were drifting In mid-At
lantic In a canoe.
When asked Tuesday when a cap
tain would be elected, Chairman Terry
responded:
"I suppose one will be elected at
the next meeting.”
Investigations Evaporate.
Leary of civil service, the commis
sion appears lo have grown equally
tired of Investigations. Three were
scheduled for Monday night, but the
trio evaporated In unexpected fashion.
On motion of Mayor Woodward, the
rases 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 officer,
were dismissed without hearing.
The mayor said he didn't think there
was anything In either of the cases,
nnd the other commissioners agreed
with him readily.
Policemen W. G. Phllllpe and H. E.
Whitaker were tried, on the charge of
being Intoxicated and were discharged
from the v forre.
Officer Whitaker pleaded guilty to
Intoxication while In uniform at tha
recent police picnic at Pearl Springs.
During the meeting Captain English
created somewhat of a stir by refer
ring to the alleged misconduct at the
police picnic.
Bsexe and That Picnic.
I tvSuld like to know something of
that picnic," said Captain English. "I
have beard it persistently rumored on
the streets, and other commissioners
may have heard It also, that there
was considerable Intemperance on the
picnic and among members of the force
at that. Several citizens have ap
proached me on the aubject. I would
like for the chief to give us some In
formation about the picnic.”
Chief Jennings replied:
"Captain, these reports have been
brought to my attention and I am hav
ing fhe matter thoroughly Investi
gated.”
The proposed contract with the
Gamewell Electric Company for the
Installation or a new signal system t>r
the police department was 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 thalr approval.
Commissioner Oldknow objected, ex
claiming;
Roast fer Fred Milas.
"I don’t think ths city electrician
should have anything to do with this
matter. He would know nothing about
It. anyway. I am thoroughly disgusted
with him. He Is tho weakest I hare
aver seen.”
The commissioner mode no explana
tion of his criticism.
The commission voted to Increase tha
price of meals for prisoners from J to
10 cents each. This was dons oa a
business. When Mlsner returned he
found the doors of hla bride’s home
closed against him. Two telegrams
throw light on the situation;
"Benjamin Howard: The Idiotic, pa
thetically Imbedlelc lies you told Mrs.
Mlsner 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. Mlsner 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
actress, Alteen Crater, once the wife
of Wilson Mlxner. Although Mlsner
nnd Miss Crater had separated and
were divorced. Crater appeared her
practical manager or best friend, under
cover, for Mlsner In his matrimonial
exploit. His chagrin resulted when
the doors of the Yerkes mansion were
closed against Mlxner 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.

By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, June 19.—The finding of
the court-martial case of Captain Perry
Garst, United States navy, growing out
of the running aground of the battle
ship Rhode Island, has been approved
by the secretary of the navy, with a
modification of sentence so as to re
duce Garst’s suspension to six months.
The court-martial sentenced ths cap
tain to one year’s suspension with one-
half sea pay and the loaa of five num
bers.
Captain Charles G. Bowman, captain
of the Pensacola navy yard, has been
ordered to duty as captajn of the Rhode
Island, vice Garst.
Here Is the opinion (tied by Secretary
Bonaparte In the caae:
"After carefully considering the
record and mso the brief argument of
Captain Gant’s counsel, the depart
ment holds that the accused In this
case has been fairly treated by a com
petent and Impartial court, whose find
ings are fully sustained by the evi
dence. The captain’s obligation of vlg-
llanca was, In the department’s Judg
ment, not lessened, but rendered more
Imperative by the fact that this was a
’shake down’ cruise, and that he had
no previous personal acquaintance with
the nevlgator.
"Without going Into a discussion of
technical questions respecting the
course followed by the Rhode Island
Immediately before grounding. It seems
clear that'a culpable error was made
as to the state of the tide and that. If
the testimony of the two leadsmen Is
to be credited, no reason whatever be
ing shown why It should not t* credit
ed. either Insufficient attention was
paid to the soundings, or the speed of
the vessel was not reduced.
•The department considers that the
good of the service requires the cap
tain of every war vessel to be held to
very strict responsibility for the safety
of the ehlp and Its officers and men, and
It Is satisfied from the record that
the accused failed to discharge him
self of that responsibility, and It re
gards an adequate, but not en exces
sive, punishment as imperatively de
manded In his case. The finding and
aentenre of the court-martial are ap
proved, but. In view of the court’u
recommendation to clemency, the pe
riod of suspension from duty on half
sea pay. Imposed as part of the sen
tence, Is reduced from one year to six
months."
