Crowded Car Overturned.
The capture by villagers and eul
cide on Saturday night at Torejon d
Ardos of Manuel Morales, the chlel
suspect In the bomb outrage against
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, adds
snothor dramatic chapter to the lncl
dents surrounding the royal wedding
Morales was recognized In the
little town of Torrejon de Ardes, mid
way between Madrid and Alcala. A
guard sought to detain him, but Mor
ales, drawing a revolver, shot the
guard dead.
Then he turned to flee, but a num
ber of the Inhabitants of the town were
upon him, and turning the revolvet
upon himself he sent a shot in the re
gion of his heart, expiring a few
minutes later.
Tragedy at Royal Wedding.
The public rejoicings at Madrid,
over the marriage of King Alfonso
and the Princess Victoria had a ter
ribly dramatic sequel at 2:30 o'clock
Thursday afternoon as a bomb thrown
from an upper window exploded with
deadly effect near the coach occupied
by the king and queen.
Providentially, King Alfonso and
Queen Victoria escaped by an electric
wire deflecting the bomb, but at least
16 persons, most of them being of the
personal and military escort and others
spectators, were killed. Many others
were Injured.
The place from which the bomb was
thrown is a boarding house. The
chamber from which the missile was
hurled was taken May 22 by a man
from Barcelona giving the name of
Moral. When the police surrounded
the house the man attempted to flee
but was captured. Another ma2 es
caped over the roofs of nouses.
Many arrests have been made,
among them that of Manuel Diiian, a
Catalonlau, who Is believed to have
been the principal conspirator. It Is
said that immediately on the explos
ion Duran was seized and hurried
down stairs. As he entered the street
men flung themselves upon hi in shout
ing "kill the assassin." A mounted
guard pressed around and took him
away under strong escort. It had
been rumored that King Alfonso a few
days ago received an anonymous
warning of an Intended outrage but
the authorities deny this.
. A member of the civil guard has rec
ognized Hamilton, an English sus
pect, as a companion of Manuel Mor
ales on the balcony. from which the
bomb was -thrown at the royal car
riage. The two men were also seen
together at Barcelona.
Navy to Bar Japanese.
All Japanese are to be excluded from
the navy July 1, unless they produce
citizenship papers or a signed dec
laratlon that they Intend to take out
the same. In future no Japanese will
be allowed In the navy unless he re
nounces the mikado in favor of the
stars and stripes.
Orders to drop the names of all
alien Japanese from the papers of
every warship In this country have
.been Issued by Secretary of the Navy
Bonaparte. He further directs that
the' places of Japanese who have been
employed as stewards and servants
are to be filled by American negroes.
The story is told by officers of the
American battle ships now at anchor
in the North river, that less than a
month ago a midshipman discovered
a Japanese steward making plans of
the business section of the turrets of
one of the latest types of warships.
The Jap's personal effects were
searched by order of the commander
of the ship. It was discovered that
he had been working for weeks on
plans of the ship and that he was a
remarkably flue draughtsman.
Terranova Woman Acquitted.
Josephine Terranova has been ac
quitted of the murder of her aunt. Con
cetta Rigglo, for which she has been
on trial for several weeks. She was,
however, not released, being remanded
to tho Tombs to answer to the charge
of murdering her uncle, who was kill
cd at the same time as his wife.
The verdict was such a complete
surprise to Assistant District Attor
ney Ely, who has ronducted the prose
cution, that he was unable to say defi
nitely whether the second charge
would be prosecuted.
The verdict was the more surprising
from the fact that, the killing being ad
mltted, Judge Scott In his charge In
structed tho Jury that In default of
Justification, which plea he said had
not been advanced, and there being
little evidence of the abuse alleged as
an excuse, except the prisoner's own
testimony, they should properly find a
verdict of murder In the first degree
Outbreak at Mexican Mine Quelled
The situation In the copper mines
at Cananea, Mexico, Is normal. The
American volunteers who went across
the line at Naco. with Governor Ysabel
of Souora on Saturday morning, re
turned to Blsbee Sunday morning,
Their services were no longer needed
although their presence there during
Saturday before the arrival of Colonel
Kosterllsky with Mexican rurales held
the situation In check.
The town Is now under martial law,
and Colonel Kosterlisky is disarming
Americans and Mexicans alike. A tel
ephone message says no shots hav
been fired since Saturday afternoon a'
C o'clock. Colonel Kosterlisky ani
Governor Vsabel, assisted by Genera
Torres, are on the ground and Colono
Greene, chief owner of the Cananef
copper mine, makes the statement tha
the trouble Is over. 'M
A conservative estimate of the mini
ber killed hi the two days fighting li
36 Mexicans and six Americans.

Death of Michael Davitt.
A notable career closed Wednes
day night last when, after a long
and painful Illness, Michael Davitt
died peacefully and painlessly at 12
o'clock, In the presence of his eldest
son, Michael, and his two daughters
who had devotedly attended him
through his illness, and of many of
his most Intimate friends, Including
John Dillon.
Death was due to blood poisoning
which followed two operations foi
necrosis of the jaw bone and sprend
so rapidly that all efforts to stay Its
course were unavailing. Mr. Davttt's
illness began with an insidious attack
of toothache, to which he paid no atten
tion until John Dillon urged him to
have recourse to medical advice.
Barnes Liability Bill Signed.
Railroad corporations In New York
state will be liable for personal In

servant rule" of the common law it
concerned, under the terms of the so-
called Barnes liability bill, which be
came a law this week by the signature
of Governor Hlgglus. The bill was
perhaps' the most important labor bill
passed by the legislature this yeai
and It was bitterly fought by the rail
road corporations at every stage of its
progress.

REYNOLDS-NEIL REPORT
Of Their Investigation of Pack,
ing Houses.
Unsanitary Conditions Revealed Ir
Chicago Slaughter Houses Presi
dent Recommends Passage of Bev
eridge Amendment Providing For
Inspection of Domestic Meats.
Washington, June 5. President
Roosevelt yesterday sent to congress
with an accompanying message the
report of James Bronson Reynolds
and Charles P. Nelll of their investiga
tion of the conditions of the slaughter
houses and meat packing plants at the
Chicago stockyards.
The president's message in part Is as
follows:
The report shows that the stock
yards and packing houses are not kept
even reasonably clean, and that the
method of handling and preparing food
products Is uncleanly and dangerous
to health.
Under existing law the national gdv
ernment has no power to enforce in
spection of the many forms of pre
pared meat food products that are
dally going from the packing houses
Into interstate commerce. Owing to
an Inadequate appropriation the de
partment of agriculture Is not even
able to place Inspectors in all estab
lishments desiring them.
The present law prohibits the ship
ment of uninspected meat to foreign
countries but there Is no provision
forbidding the shipment of uninspect
ed meats in Interstate commerce, and
thus the avenues of interstate com
merce are left open to traffic in dis
eased or spoiled meats.
If, as has been alleged on seemingly
good authority further evils exist, such
as the Improper use of chemicals and
dyes, the government lacks power to
remedy them. A law Is needed which
will enable the Inspectors of the gen
eral government to Inspect and super
vise from the hoof to the can the
preparation of the meat food product.
Greatest Evil In Prepared Products.
The evil seems to be much less In
the sale of dressed carcasses than In
the sale of canned and other prepared
products; and very much less as re
gards products sent aboard than as
regard those used at home.
I call special attention to the fact
that this report Is preliminary, and
that the Investigation Is still unfinish
ed. It is not yet possible to report on
the alleged abuses in the use of delet
erious chemical compounds in connec
tion with canning and preserving meat
products, nor on the alleged doctoring
in this fashion of tainted meat and of
products returned to the packers as
having grown unsalable or unusable
from age or from other reasons. Grave
allegations are made in reference to
abuses of this nature.
Let me repeat that under the pres
ent law there Is practically no method
of stopping these abuses if they should
be discovered to exist. Legislation
Is needed lu order to prevent the pos
sibility of all abuses in the future. If
no legislation is passed, then the ex
cellent results accomplished by the
work of this special committee will en
dure only so long as the memory of
the committee's work Is fresh, and a
recrndesence of the abuses Is abso
lutely certain.
The report of the investigators Is In
part as follows:
- As directed by you, we Investigated
the conditions In the principal estab
lishments lu Chicago engaged in the
slaughter of cattle, sheep and hogs
and In the preparation of dressed
meat and meat food products. Two
and a half weeks were spent In tho
Investigation In Chicago, and during
this time we went through tho princi
pal packing houses lu the stockyards
district together with a few of the
smaller ones. A day was spent by Mr.
Reynolds In New York city in the In
vestigation of several of the leading
slaughtering houses.
Indifference to Cleanliness.
Nothing shows more strikingly the
general Indifference to mutters of
cleanliness and sanitation than do the
privies for both men and women. The
prevailing type Is made by cutting off
a section of the workroom by a thin
wooden partition rising to within a
few feet of the celling. These privies
usually ventilate Into the workroom,
though a few are found with a window
opening into tho outer air. Many are
ocated In the Inside corners of the
workrooms, and thus have no out
side opening whatever.
The condition that affects the most
directly nnd seriously the cleanliness
of the food products Is the frequent
absence of any 'lavatory provisions In
the privies. Washing sinks are either
not furnished at nil or are small and
dirty. - Neither are towels, soap or
toilet paper provided. Men and wo
men return directly from these places
to plunge their unwashed hands into
the meat to he converted into such
food products as sausages, dried beef
and other compounds.
Some of the privies are situated at
a long dlstanco from tho workrooms,
and men relieve themselves on the
killing floors or in a comer of the
workrooms. Hence, lnomo cases the
fumes of the urine swell the sum of
nauseating odors arising from the
dirty-bloo'd-soaked, rotting wooden
floors, fruitful culture beds for the
disease germs of men and animals.
A particularly glaring instance of
uncleauliuess was found In a room
where the best giado of saus-ige was
being prepared for export. It was
mado from carefully -selected meats,
and was being prepared to be eatoi
uncooked. In this case the employe
carted the chopped-up meat acros3 s
room In a barrow, the handles of whicl:
were filthy with grease.
The meat was then thrown out upoi
tables, and the employe climbed upon
tho table, handled the meat with un
washed hands, knelt with his dirty
apron and trousers In contact with the
meat ho was spreading out, and, aftei
he had finished his operation, again
took hold of the dirty handles of tht
wheelbarrow, went back for anothei
load, and repeated this process indefi
nitely. Inquiry developed the fact that there
was no water in this room at all, and
the only method the man adopted foi
cleaning his hands was to rub them
against his dirty apron or on his still
filthier trousers.
As an extreme example of the en
tire disregard on the part of employes
of any notion of cleanliness In hand
ling dressed meat, we saw a hog that
had just been killed, cleaned, washed
and started on its way to the cooling
room fall from the sliding rail to a
dirty wooden floor and slide part way
Into a filthy men's privy. It wat
picked up by, two employes, placed
upon a truck, carried Into the coollna
room and hung up with other carcas
ses, no effort being made to clean It.
Impressive Contrast In New York.
In Impressive contrast to the condi
tions that we saw In the stockyards ol
Chicago Is an establishment that Mr
Reynolds visited In New York city
It well merits a description In those
particulars In which it Is vastly su
perior to similar concerns in Chicago.
The two upper floors used for cattle
pens are paved wllh well-laid bricks
and cement, with side walls of brick,
tho top floor being covered to protect
the cattle from the weather.
The killing floor Is paved with blue
stone, sloping toward well arranged
drains, and has a large air shaft fot
special ventilation and abundant win
dows. Tiie ceiling and upper side
walls are of hard cement, with steel
crossbeams and cement-faced steel
supports. The lower side walls are
covered with white porcelain brick.
When the slaughtering of each day
Is finished, water is turned on, and In
not more than 15 minutes the room Is
so thoroughly cleansed that all per
ceptible odors and traces of the work
are removed.
BALKS OPERATION TO GET GEM.
Omaha Prosecutor Refuses to Let Mae
Thomas Leave Jail.
Omaha, June 5. Mae Thomas and
the diamond she swallowed have not
been parted. The woman Is still In
Jail and County Attorney Slabaugh an
nounced that he Intended to place her
on trial this week for larceny. The
Intended operation was not performed,
for the reason that the county attor
ney would not permit his prisoner to
be taken from the jail.
Dr. Henry, who was to conduct the
operation, called at the jail and be
gan to discuss arrangements with the
prisoner, who declared herself ready.
It was then that an unexpected snnq
was struck. Deputy County Attorney
Fitch, In the absence from the city of
his chief, refused to sign an order' foi
the woman's removal to the hospital,
although on Saturday he had acqui
esced In the negotiations between Jew
eler Combs, who longed to recover his
gem, and the woman, who was equal
ly anxious to go to her baby, reported
in In Texas. Later County Attorney
Slabaugh returned nnd declined to
permit tho woman to leave the jail.
Friends of the woman intend to
make a further effort to have the
prosecution dropped In order that the
surgeons may attempt th'e recovery of
the Jewel.
Snake's Poison Sucked by Gas Pump.
Franklin, Pa., Juno 5. The re
