ITEMlAr. .'1ST 19. 19"S. THK ATLANTA LROKfifAN, ! 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. 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 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 police commission either "don't know where It Is at" or else the knowledge of "where It le at" haa given It a fright. The commission, every member pres ent, met Monday night and after a session of nearly three houra adjourned without electing a police captain to succeed former Captain Moon, as was forecaslsd In *fhe Georgian of Monday afternoon. In fact, this question of filling the vacancy, a matter of great Importance to the department and one In which the entire force la Interested, was not eyen mentioned. It was the cause of considerable comment that former Cap tain Moon was present during the en tire session. There neemd to be no disposition on ths part of the board to tackle thn mooted civil service proposition, which Is directly connected with the election of the new captain, nnd on which the commission Is said to be equally di vided. It Is understood that had the election come up. the commissioners would have voted four In favor of electing under civil service and four against, whlrh would have meant no election. Evidently realising this, the coramis. sinners had no desire to go through the form of useless voting and wrang ling, and simply decided to "pass up” the matter. was expected the commission would endeavor to elect a captain dur ing the executive session, which Is nl ways held at the cloee of a regular meeting.

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 A WISE MAN BE= GINS LIFE BY BUYING A DOME HERE’S YOUR CHANCE I Attend Our Big Auction Sale of 53 Choice Lots THURSDAY, JUNE 21st, AT 3 P.

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. communication from L.

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." DAMAGE SUIT TOTAL NEARS HALF MILLION MANY MORE PETITIONS FILED BECAUSE OF PICNIC TRAIN WRECK.
