American Meat Trad li Practically

BERLIN, July 20.-Ai reiult of In
qulries Instituted, owing to tit report
that the German government had de
elded to enforce such ilrH regulations
Biralmt American canned product, sa
to virtually exclude them. It wss learn
cd today that several of the recent sell
urea of meat unfit for food made on the
Russian frontier, had caused inquiries by
the custom authorities and the Rulan
miuiiter of agriculture, regarding the
system of inspection.
It was discovered that the inspection
system was very tax, and permitted of
a considerable trade in diseased and
tainted meats and also in unborn calves.
A new Inspection system will be sub
mitted to the Buderath. The regula
tions apply to Imports over any frontier,
but as inspection of American products
k already more lever than the- im
ports of other countries, the new regula
tions will not appreciably affect Ameri
can meats. But there will be a more
serious movement, solely against Ameri
can meats and lard, Is being pushed by
the agrarian interests with the likeli
hood of commanding a powerful sup
port in the Reichstag, when the matter
comes up In the autumn. This move
ment briefly is to exclude all preserved
meats unaccompanied by glands and all
other parts of the carcass. The restrlc
tlon is impossible for American packers
to comply with. The destruction of the
American meat and turd trade Is the
object sought.
- DRUG COMPANY WINS.
NEW YORK, July 20.-By an order of
Judge, Willurd Baitlott; permitting an
appeal to the church of appeals in the
case of Mrs. Emma F. Loutcrn against
the Bolton Drug Company, the State
Medical Society has won Its fight to have
the highest court of the state pass upon
the right of a druggist to make i
change in the prescription of a physio
inn. In this case the plaintiff obtained
from Dr. William J, Cruikshank a pre
ecription fqr "Elixus Plnus Compound
Cum Heroin," and the defendant, having
none of this in stock, filled the prescrip
tion with the Jinus compound .which
contains acetate of morphine, adding
Heroin. As" the properties of the two
drugs, are practically the same, the re
suit wtts an overdose.

HE ASHED FOR
REBATE
Justice Marshall Wanted
Agent's Commission.
TO COLLECT PREMIUM
rr
Made Shady Proposition to Life
Insurance Company of
Cincinnati.
ALBRIGHT PRODUCES PROOFS
Shows That Chief Justice Marshal
Asked Agents Commission For
the Collection of Premium on
His Policy.
MILWAUKEE. July 20.-In' proceed
ings before the committee of the Wiscon
sin legislature investigating life insur
ance conditions in this state, stats Man
ager Albright of the Union Central
Life Insurance Company of Cincinnati
introduced correspondence showing that
Chief Justice Marshall asked that a life
insurance agent'a commission for the
collection of a premium, be paid to him
on his policy, the premium being $671-40.
Justice Marshall today vouches for the
authenticity of the correspondence, but
declared there was nothing irregular in
any of the letters. Albright wrote the
justice informing him that rebating was
forbidden by the law of Wisconsin.
Marshall proposed that the collection of
fees be paid to him thiough a bank,
there being no agent of the company
in his city, Madison. On receipt of Al
bright's letter he was sent a check for
his premium in full, informing Albright
that be knew of the existence of no law
governing tne question, lmpeacnment
proceedings are hinted at in some quar
ters, but members of the legislative com
mittee scoffed at such a proposition.
"The very worst construction that can
be placed on the incident." Said a mem
ber of the committee: "la that the judge
was attempting to find a way which the
law might be evaded and suggested it to
the agent. There is absolutely nothing
upon which a criminal action can be
based." V,
