THURSDAY EVENING,
Harrisburg Consistory. The original
church at Harris and Susquehanna
streets was dedicated November 24,
1895. This building became too small
for the growing congregation and
school, and the new church was built
and dedicated June 5, 1910. The
church and Sunday school is having
an unusual era of prosperity. The
present rate of growth will soon tax
the capacity of the present building,
says the Rev. George F. Scliaum, who
will have charge of the services on
Sunday.
The Rev. Mr. Schaum has been pas
tor of the church for four years. The
congregation is making a unanimous
request to the annual conference that
he be returned.
To Pray For Wilson. Resolutions
calling upon ministers and congrega
tions of the United Evangelical
churches to offer prayers asking for
Divine guidance for President Wilson
land his advisers, were adopted at the
monthly meeting of United Evangeli
cal ministers of Harrisburg and vicin
ity. The Rev. M. L. Burger, of Mil
lersburg, spoke on "Social Purity."

TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT
iW& ht kccßy ALFRED W. McCANN
The Trail of tlic Tubercular Old
Cow, Rejected, For Nonpayment
of Her Board, From the Farmer's
Dairy Herd, Is Again Picked Up on
Its Way to the Most Significant of All
the Revelations of Official Corruption
With Which This Appeal to the Con
science of the National Is Illumined.
Throughout the enactment of the
stirring incidents of 1913. 1914, 1916,
and 1916, revealing the existence of a
vast system of meat inspection cor
ruption, the tubercular cow, as if by
her very presence desirous of focus
ing public attention upon the evil con
ditions which she represented, con
tinued, with the aid of unscrupulous
public officials, to limp dally from the
diseased herds of many States to the
Brooklyn clearing houses of decay
and death.
During my most savage attacks
upon their activities a group of dis
eased cow killers, accompanied by
their attorney, called upon me in Oc
tober, 1914, to volunteer a reform of
their industry, provided I would de
liver to them services through which
they might escape a threatened ac
tion at the hands of -the United
States government.
In the group were Samuel Plant,
Henry Plant, Robert Plaut, Arthur
Plaut, Simon Plaut and liobby Plaut,
Jr., members of the slaughtering es
tablishments of S. & H. Plaut and
Robert Plaut & Son, Johnson avenue,
Brooklyn.
These men proposed to appear be
fore the governor of the State and
confess to him that they were en
gaged in the slaughter of diseased an
imals for food purpose and that the
GO,OOO carcasses annually dressed by
them, under the supervision of the
Health Department of the city of New
York, were unfit for food. This con
fession was to be made, provided the
governor would assist in the enact
ment of legislation requiring the ster
ilization of all diseased carcasses in
accordance with the Freibank system
of Germany, so that the killers might
not be subject to unfair competition
through having to sterilize meat and
label it properly while others engaged
in the killing of diseased animals were
not obliged to treat them in similar
manner.
Robert Plaut at that session said;
"If there were uniform State laws
requiring all slaughterers to do this
thing I would be glad to do it. But
if I were required to do it and other
slaughterers were not also obliged to
do the same thing I would be put out
of business." •
Two days following our discussion
of these overtures the attorney of the
slaughterers paid mo another visit.
He said: "I want to place a purely
hypothetical proposition before you.
We will suppose certain Johnson ave
nue slaughterers are now involved in
an affair in which the government
officials are taking a hand.
"We will suppose that these slaugh
terers are in serious trouble and are

Mrs. Dick Sets Expenses Since Birth at $86,034: Toys, In

New York, Feb. William K.
Dick filed a complete accounting in the
Surrogates' Court of her guardianship
of her four-year-old son, John Jacob
Astor, which showed that from Nov
ember 13, 1912, when she was ap
pointed his guardian, until Decembpr
31, 1915, it cost $75.27 a day to keep
HAHRISBURG djStfti TELEGRAPH
greatly worried concerning its out
come.
"We will suppose that you are in a
position to obtain leniency from the
government in return for valuable
consideration.
"The proposition I want to make is
simply this: If these purely hypothe
tical slaughterers were to place infor
mation In your hands, supported by
affidavits that would result in the con
viction of many shippers of tubercular
cows who send their animals through
interstate commerce, would you guar
antee to my hypothetical clients, in
consideration of such services to be
rendered by them to the government,
that any cose the government might
have against them would be drop
ped?"
I told him I would give him an an
swer on the following day.
X then consulted with Jason Rogers.
Henry J. Wright, and William Shilla
ber, Jr., publisher, editor and treas
urer of the New York Globe. They ad
vised mo to deal with the slaughterers
and to begin at once negotiations be
tween them and the government.
The attorney never returned. The
government dropped the case. I
waited a month, and then reported
the.facts, November 13, 1914, to Dr.
Siglsinund S. Goldwater, commissioner
of health of New York City.
Three days later, Monday, Novem
ber 16, 1914, in response to a tele
phone communication from Dr. Gold
water, 1 met hlni and discussed the
subject in person.
The unfolding of these facts at this
time are necessary in order that the
full significance of the events that,
without molestation, continued to
I transpire until January, 1917, may be
fully understood. •
In justice to Dr. Goldwater it must
be said that in addition to being,
throughout the short term served by
him, the best health commissioner
New York City ever had, he was pro
foundly interested in bringing to an
end the horrible conditions concern
ing the existence of which he liad ad
ditional information from other
sources.
Under his regime, however, his sub
ordinates either would not or could
not give him any assistance in bring
ing the meat inspection conspiracy to
an end and he found himself power
less to interfere with any of Its iniqui
ties.
In January, 1916, the operations of
the protected slaughterers, during the
administration of Health Commis
sioner Dr. Haven Emerson, had be
come so bold that I made another, al
though unofficial, effort to bring them
to an end.
The extraordinary results of that
effort now await action by Congress,
although It may be safely assumed,
based on past performance, that Con
gress will not act until the people
themselves manifest some clear un
derstanding of the significance of the
retnarlcable events about to bs de
scribed.
John Jacob alive, amused and in good
health.
The total cost of keeping the posthu
mous son of the late Colonel Astor in
fitting state was $88,034.21.
His mother received from the es
tate in that time $60,360.07 for his
maintenance.
Besides the taxes and other infan
tile expenses which were listed in the
accounting she filed last April, when
she sought to convince te court that
a small boy just had to have more
than $20,000 a year, Dick goes
into details concerning clothes and
toys In the new accounting.
John Jacob's clothes cost $5,790, and
as he grew older he put away the
toys of his babyhood and demanded
something more mature and more ex
pensive . So in December, 1913, he got
a "speaking book," fifteen disks for
a music box, three "roly-polies" and
two boxes of horns and balls.
Arrives at <;o-C'art Sta#;c-
By the following June he had got
to the go-cart stage, which meant S3O
more, and he also had to have a pail,
a sand scoop and other beach toys, a
Mother Goose, a donkey, a railway and
a book on animal land. His ideas con
tinued to expand and his mother
sought to catch up with them again
in the following December.
She got him: a toy camel for S3O,
a toy lion for sls, a goose for $3.50,
a bear for $3.75, another donkey for
SO, a lamb for $1.50 and a duck for
$2.
In the course of time August, his
birthday month, came around and
found John Jacob disconsolate amid
the ruins of his donkeys and his lions
and hia camels. There was a gift pie
for twenty guests, which cost $lB, and
John Jacob got five rollomobiies at
sls, three bears on wheels for sl2, five
hoops for $lO, a seesaw for $5, a soap
bubble blower for sl, and a magic
fishpond and athletic slides for S2O.
For a few days he was almost as hap-
P" as the urchins a few blocks east,
who blew soap bubbles from a clay
pipe and had a contractor's saw horse
for a seesaw.
One reason why John Jacob had
to exercise caution in his teetering is
evident from his tailor's bills. One
of them probably arrived about the
time he did. It was for a dress costing
$123.50, which was bought in June,
1912, two months before John Jacob
could protest. A month later a Job
lot of clothes was bought for $lO2, and
before John Jacob know whether ho
was wearing a blue bow under his
chin or a pink one, his clothes had
cost $786.
Before he wan five months old win
ter came and of course John Jacob
needed some more things. So he got
a mink robe costing SSBO, and an every
day ermine robe that cost only $lB5.
In the following September his mother
got a chance to get two pillows with
a pillowcase thrown In at Bangor Me
she bought them for SIOO.
In May, 1914, John Jacob began
to strut around In rompers. He had
four pairs and they cost $4.75. He
lilted them full as well, probably, as
the $5 coat he got at the same time or
the hat that cost $16.50.
By the time it began to get really
cold again little John Jacob was In
a sad state, for the. robes of last vear
would not do at all. So his mother
? ot s!™. one made of 200 mink skins
for S2OO on January 2, 1915, and a
muff which cost S3O.
"From the time of his birth down
1° present date 0 f my marriage
to Mr. Dick, his residence was with
me at 840 Fifth avenue," says Mrs.
Dick, and he always lias been and
now is under my personal care and
supervision. Until the lime of my mar
and myself con
? entire family and occupied
840 Hfth avenue and shared Its ac
commodations, apartments and the ser
vice there provided. The establishment
so occupied was maintained at great
