PACKING HOUSE REPORT
Findings of Department Inves
tigators Sent to House.
Cassatt Owns No Coal Stock Disas
trous Tornado Three Killed by Ex
plosion of Oil Stove Eleven Men
Blown to Pieces Murderer Killed
Himself.
Whut Is known as the department of
igriculture report on packing house
conditions was sent by the president
- the house. A part of this re
port Is a letter dated April 6, 1906,
from A. D. Melvln, chief of the bureau
of animal Industry, In which he says,
commenting on the sanitary condi
tions: '
"From personal observation I know
that sanitary conditions at abattoirs
where this bureau maintains inspec
tion, while not always satisfactory, are
much superior to those at the average
establishment without such inspec
tion." Further he sayg that he knows that
many diseased animals are not shipped
to market centers where Inspection is
maintained. He advises the most
rapid extension ot the Inspection pos
Kihlo, and says the demand for inspec
tion is much greater than can be
supplied.
The report concludes with recom
mendations for inspection legislation
which seem to have been followed in
the Beverldgo amendment.
A supplemented report Is made by
the committee which Is a comment on'
the "Jungle" articles In tho London
Lancet and other magazines.
"The process of slaughtering cattle
and packing tho product is carried on
In Chicago on a colossal scale and It Is
true in many instances sanitary feat
ures, such as light and air, are sacri
ficed to Increase the capacity ot the
plants," says the report.
"The reference to special legisla
tion against Chicago by several foreign
nations undoubtedly refers to the re
quirements of these nations that all
pork from the United States shall be
microscopically inspected for trichi
nae." "The Inference that horses are
slaughtered for meat in Chicago," the
report continues, "Is erroneous and
without foundation In fact, so far as
this committee is aware."
As to sanitation, the report says
that Inspection has been withdrawn
from one Chicago slaughter house
since tho report of the committee of
April 3 was made.
Some of the criticisms made In the
"Jungle" articles describing killing
rooms are concurred In.
In reply to a statement in' a maga
zine article that pork rejected for ex
port Is put up for the domestic market
the report says: "This report is gross
ly misleading."
Cassatt Owns No Coal Stock. .
After concluding his answer to the
Pennsylvania railroad Investigators'
circular, President Cassatt makes the
following statement to the special
committee:
"You will observe the only coal stock
owned by me since becoming president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company
is ICO shares of the Millwood Coal and
Coke company, which Btock has been
sold, but in view of the repeated ru
mors of my being a holder of stocks
of the Keystone Coal and Coke com
pany, the Berwlnd-Whlte Coal and
Mining company and the Henrietta
Coal company, and of my being inter
ested In the firm of Cassatt & Co., I
think It proper to state that I never
owned or had any Interest in the
stocks of the Keystone Cpal and Coke
company or of the Henrietta Coal com
pany, nor have I ever had any Inter
est In the Arm of Cassatt & Co. I
never owned any stock of the Berwlnd
White Coal Mining company while an
officer of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company."

Veavy black clouds and the wind tore
fver the course at the rate of 75 to
10 miles an hour.
Many of tho crowd ran to the in

debris. The rain fell in torrents. It

TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE
CausetJ Death of Four Persons.
Others Are Missing.
Woman Overcome by Smoke Dropped
Her Child From Third Floor Fire
Escape Bodies of Three Persons
Found In a Top Floor Tenement
Ladder Fell With Fireman.
New York, June 12. Four persons
are known to be dead and several
others are missing as a result of a
fire In a five-story tenement bouse at
No. 209 East Ninety-Seventh street.
Two firenieu were injured by falling
from the building and one of these Is
not expected to live.
Scores of thrilling rescues occurred,
and just as the firemen were about to
take a woman and her 2-year-old baby
from the fire escape on the third floor,
the woman fell, overcome by the
smoke, aud dropped the child. It was
dashed to death on the pavement 30
feet below.
The other bodies were found on the
top floor of the tenement. All of them
were so badly burned that they have
not been Identified.
The firemen Injured were: James
Tauher of Engine No. 3C, fractured
ribs, fractured thigh and inteiial in
juries, will die; Vincent Cahlll, Truck
No. 13, fractured leg, possible fracture
of the skull.
Starting on the ground floor in a
real estate office, the fire spread rap
idly through the building, which was
occupied by 21 families. Even before
the alarm could be sounded the flames
had blocked all means of escape from
the upper floors save the fire escapes.
Several women and children were tak
en from the fire escapes by policemen
before the firemen reached the scene.
The house was then ablaze from cel
lar to roof and persons clinging to the
fire escapes near the top of the build
ing were rescued with the greatest
difficulty.
A ladder which had been placed
against the side of the building slipped
when Fireman Tauher was near the
top and the fireman plunged to the
sidewalk. He was terribly injured
and probably will die. Fireman Ca
hlll fell from a fire escape platform
at the third floor and also was severely
injured.
The three persons who lost their
lives In the flames occupied a tene
ment on the top floor. Their bodies
were found after the flames had been
subdued. Apparently they had been
overcome by smoke before they could
reach the fire escapes.

garded as dangerous.
The train, on which were many per
sons returning from a week-end outing
at Atlontic City, was passing through
Eatontown at a rapid rate of speed
when a switch opened while the train
was passing over it.
The locomotive and smoking car
went over an embankment, the car
turning on Its side. VanDuser and
most of those who were Injured seri
ously were in this car. The day coach
next behind struck a freight car which
was standing on a side track and was
badly smashed. Several of Its pas
sengers were badly bruised. Two Pull

Deals at Great Length With
State Issues.
Harrlsburg, June 7. The Republi

platform commends the national and
state administrations; advocates leg
islation giving to trolley companies

Papers Ready For Application to
Supreme Court.
New York, June 12. Recorder Goff
has denied a motion for a new trial
In the case of Albert T. Patrick, the
convicted murderer of AVIUIam Marsh
Rice.
Patrick's lawyers, It is said, wore
prepared for an adverse decision, and
have the papers ready for an applica
tion to the United States supreme
court for a writ of error and for a
writ of habeas corpus. These applica
tions would again delay the carrying out
of the death sentence and would make
the fifth postponement for Patrick,
who has now been in the death house
in Sing Sing for more than four years.
The last resort In the effort to save
Patrick will be an application to Gov
ernor Higgins for a commutation of the
death sentence. The fact that tho
court of appeals sustained the verdict
against Patrick by a majority of only
one may be the chief argument before
the governor.
Recorder GofT In his decision de
clared that not one of the grounds
urged In the motion is sufficient cause
to grant a new trial.
Of the witnesses who testified at
the recent hearing concerning alleged
denials by Valet Jones of the testi
mony given by him at the Patrick trial,
the decision says:
"It would he taxing human credulity
to a point beyond forbearance to even
ask 12 men In a Jury box to give cred
ence to the witnesses who testified to
the alleged admissions of Jones.
Apart from tho Inherent improbabil
ities of their stories, the trace of a
common design and surprises was unmistakable."
