ongress Greatly Wrought up by the
toosureri-Packers Xaking Ef
forts to 'Avoid Cost 'of
Inspection.
Washitgton, May 31.--Congress is
deeply stirred up over the beef in
,spection amendment which the ad
ministration through Senator Beve
,ridge caused to be added to the agri
cultural appropriation bill and which
is now in process of going to confer
ence between the House and Senate.
The proceedings seem to have opened
a Pandora's box of trouble for the
beef trust, and it is evident that the
end of the embarrassments 'for that
combination is not yet in sight.
A determined effort is to be made
to get the Neill report before the piub
lie. Just 'as vigorous attempts will
be made to suppress it. Already the
effects of the agitation upon the beef
trusts trade is apparent. The Euro
pean market has taken fright, think
ing that if the president of the United
States .found it necessary to move in
'the premises there must be some foun
dation for the reports of outrage upon
the consuming public.
The press throughout the United
States has taken up the subject. The
Chicago press is making vigorous in
quiry into what becomes of the meats 0
'condemned by the Federal inspectors
and some reports have been publish
ed alleging that the diseased hogs,
cattle and sheep are foisted upon the
community after being condemned by
the inspectors. The New York papers
are full of reports of alleged cases
of imposition upon the consumers and
the public seems to be thoroughly
aroused.
But the beef trust is by no meians
idle all this time. Telegrams are be
ginning to pour in upon Senators and
Representatives from the cattle rais
ing States urging Congressmen not to
take action which will react upon the
cattle raisers. The inference whicl
statesmen are drawing from these I
telegrams is that the beef trust is
threatening the cattle raisers that if
congress makes the trust pay the cost
of inspection the trust will take it
out of the price paid for cattle.
Some of the legislators familiar
with the methods of the beef trust
think that the trust would also turn
around and take a double turn of the
consumers of beef. In fact, it is L
known that word has already been
passed around in congress that if the
trust has to pay the cost of the in
spectioll the 1 eople will have to foot
the bill in increased cost. of meat pro
ducts.
It is safe to say, however, that
these considerations are not cutting
much figure in congress. The thing
has gone too far, it is claimed, for
Congress to turn back without raising
a storm of public indignation. It is
quite possible thait the amei~indmnt
may be chaniged it' it can lhe shown
Itat changei is ncessary' to mtake it
Coulri-pr oof.X The no st determi ied e f

FTe suggestioni hats been made that

the hbeef trust and returni to normal
coniditions5 in cattle b)uyinlg anid meat

LEPROSY CASES
IN AMVERIcIA.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 31.-Dr.
Isadore Dyer, the noted Newv Orleans
specialist in leprosy, discussing the
disean3 here today said there are
probably thirty statea whlicht are af
flieted to a' greater 'or Ie .' extent with
*theo digeage.
"'It is estimated,",' said the doctor,
A that there are betwveen .101) and 5%
cases of known leprosg in the 7.nitedI
States. All but seventy-five of thesei
cases are at large. E~ach of the larger
'cities has eases of leprosy frequenting
'the publie elliesce New. York, Chica
gd, St. Louis and Pl1ihadelyhlia fall
within this category.
"At San hranelseo <and Boston
sanitary provision is mnade for .such
cases. Leprosy is sure to be a ,vital
question in the United States soonea
r later because the disease spreads
nsidiously from the fact that it is
iot isfially recognized by the average
>iysieian even win the disease is
rol l(dvane,ed.'
The Cotton Acreage.
New York, May 31.-The June cot
On report of the Journal of Com
aerce, which will be published to-mor
-ow points to an increase of 6.3 per
eut in acreage. The report states that
lie increase in acreage may be great
r, but the disposition to under-esti
nate the crop is so prevalent as to
unke it exceedingly difficult to ob
ain reliable data concerning acreage.
ior this situation the officers of the
'otton Growers' association are
hiefly responsible. They have persis
ently conducted a campaign of exag
eration and misrepreseitation, the
onsequences of which are more in
ttrious to growers whom they pretend
o protect than to buyers wihoim they
annot deceive. Such practices con
use cotton growers as much if not
lore than cotton manufacturers, and
rofit none except the speculator.
'ondition of the crop appears to be
uite satisfactory, the Jiune percnt
go for the entire cotton belt. being
2.1, against 77.4 last year, and 79.J in
904. Replies have been received
rom 1,400 correspondents and their
verage (late is May 23. In Texas the
icreased acreage amounts to 8.3 per
ent over last year, and in Oklahoma
id the Indian Territory the increase
1 18.5 and 17.9 per cent respetively
lorida is the only State showing a
ecrease, namely 2 per cent., other
'isc the increases are.
North Carolina, 4.8 per cent; South
,arolina, 4.6 per cent; Georgia, 6.2
er cent; Alabama, 4.8 l'er cent; Mis
issil)pi, 4.1 per cent; Louisiana, 2.5
'er cent; Arkansas, 3.8 per cent ;
Cn11eCISS, 2.2 per cetit, and. Missouri
per cent.
On account of the low temperatures.
ccompanied in nearly tll parts of
lie cotton belt by dry weather, growth
as been retorded and much replant
ig necessitated, making the crop two
reeks late. R1eports of scarcity of la
01' are very general, but little acreage
as been abandoned owing to the
mall amounti of cultivationi, req uired
or the growing planit. Fields, as a
ule, are clean and insects have lone
ardly any damage. Texas and Geor
ifa show excellent conditions, due
xrgcly to dry weather. The - hoil
vecvil has made is appearance in
'exas.

SEARED 'CHILDIEN
WITH HOT IRONS
Cilcago Tots Tell In Police Court of
Almost Incredible Craelty of
Their Parents.
Almost incredible was the story of
inhumanity toward their children
which was unfolded in a Chicago po
ice court when Michael and Mary
Janoszek were arraigned on a charge
of assault. The children, Mary, six
years old, and Annie, four years old,
shrank in terror before their parents
luring the court proceedings.
For more than a half hour Mary told
of the cruelties to which she and her
Aister had been subjected. She said
that the mother had twisted broom
bandles in their hair until it was pulled
out by the roots and that one day
when she (Mary) lost 10 cents her fa
ther broke her arm by striking her
with a club.
"One day mamma said that I bit my
sister's finger," Mary said, "and papa
kicked me. He kicked me many times,
and he also struck me with his flat.
Then he locked me and Annie in the
coal box in the back of the house. He
made us stay there for two days and
gave us pieces of bread to eat. When
we cried that we were hungry lie took
a redhot poker and burned our backs
and arms."
The girls showed their arms and
backs, which were found covered with
blisters and deep sores.
Neighbors also were in court and
told of the many cruelties which the
parents had practiced on their children.
One of the neighbors finally was un
able to bear the shouts of the little
girls any longer and informed the po
lice. The arrest of the parents fol
lowed.
Justice Mayer iekl the prisoners In
$10,000 ball each for the grand jury.
"This is the most horrible affair ever
known in Chicago," he said to them.
"You are both inhuman monsters. No
punishment could be devised by man
to fit the crimes you have commit
ted. You, Mrs. Janoszek, should be
whipped until you drop. I cannot bear
to look upon those children. I hope
you will both be sent to prison for
ever."

Richard Jones, a farmer at Hog Run,
W. Va., concluded to end his life and,

his mouth and clutched at his throat.
The mucilage clung to his throat and
nearly suffocated him.
Mrs. Jones heard the commotion and
ran into the room. Jones tried to be
rate her, but his tongue went to the
root of his mouth and cleaved there,
He shut his teeth with a vicious snap
and found his jaws stuck fast. Mrs.
Jones was nearly convulsed with laugh
ter. When she could control herself she
went about to unstick her husband.
Jones' anger changed to gratitude as
his wife worked over him. She loosen
ed up his jaws and got his tongue un
limbered so that he could utter a some
what sticky "thanks."
Swapped Wives and Children.
The alleged fact that two men tr,aded
wives was brought to light in Pana,
Ill., by the arrest of J. M. Mosby for
infidelity. On March' 24, it is said,
Mosby traded his wife, aged twenty
one years, with one chihg, to Fred L.
Jachtnan of St. Lotiis i6r Jackman's
wife and five children, and since that
time they have been living together as
common law husbands and common
law wives. Both women assetated to
the change, it Is asserted, and con
tracts for separation and common law
marriages were drawn up and signed
by the contracting parties.

ROOSEVELT HUNTING SHAFT
Bouthw%esterners to Duild u, Novel
- Monunent In Theodore.
President toosevelt is soon to be Im
mortalized as the pioneer coyote exter
miator of the southwest, according to
a dispatch from Lawton, Okla. This Is
to be accomplished through the erec
tion of a monument on the exact spot
where the president's tent was pitched
during the few days of his hunt in
southwest Oklahoma last spring. The
Monument Is to cost several thousand
dollars and Is to be paid for by popu
lar subscription.
'The report was current recently that
the Rock Island system has selected the
quarter section of land upon which the
president camped as the site of a town
to be called Theodore. 'The monument
Is to be erected In the center of the
town site and will bear Inscriptions
giving the names of the president's
party. the date of the hunt, etc. Fig
ures representing the president, John
Abernethy, fleeing coyotes and chasing
hounds are to be placed on the pedes
tal around the monument's base.
Names For Western Towns.
"Attractive names for towns to be
built up along their extensions are be.
Ing sought by railroad men in the
west," said George Parsons of Chicago
to a reporter of the Milwaukee Senti
nel. "Owing to recent disclosures the
names of lending public men and pri
vate individuals are not as welcome
for these purposes as they were in the
past, but as individuality Is sought it
may be that Indian names will figure
to a large extent In the nomenclature
of these new towns."
Postal Card Luncheon.
Souvenir postal cards, which lave
burdened the mail bags all winter,
were recently put to a novel use by a
Brooklyn girl, says the New York
Press. This young woman, known as
an enthusiastic collector, gave a "post
al card luncheon.' To each guest on
arriving she gave a foreign postal card
and told her to find her own place at
the table. This was not a difficult pro
ceeding, for at each place was a tiny
flag of a foreign country, and the girl
with a German card took her place by
the flag of Germany, and so on. The
centerpiece at this affair consisted of
hundreds of these little flags stuck in
a mound of moss and ferns. The ices
were frozen in small oblong blocks,
which were decorated with cakes in
the form of stamps of green or red.
The hostess wore a cap with "U1. S.
Mail" on it, and a little mail bag wag
slung over one shoulder.
Parliamentary Lnw Now a Pad.
Parliamentary law is society's new
ost fad. says the New Yotk Press. So
pronounced Is the interest that bridge,
shows on the tanbark and social trivial.
Ities generally pale before this study.
Followers of this movement are form
Ing clubs and organizing Icommittees
and arranging rotr lectures with the
snme ze.t which they put into the ba
gaairs for the San Francisco sufferers.
For several years there has been a
harmless sort of flirting with miunici
I)al positions by the men of the fami
ly, but now wives and daughters are
going In for politleal training through
the Intricato study of "previous ques
tion," "'debatabl)e motions" and "orders
of procedura." W'hether the women
who have taken parliamentary law In
tow will findi it engrossing for long Is
in itself a deoluitable ouestion.
