f UNITED PRESS MASUD WtRl.l
Chicago, Jan. 16. The action of
New Jersey federal pure food inspec
tors in destroying an immense amount
of "cold storage eggs" on the ground
that they were unfit for human con
sumption, Is believed to he responsi
ble for an unprecedented drop here
today in the prices of butter, eggs
and poultry.
United States District Attorney
Sims has instructed inspectors here
to investigate food products held in
cold storage and his action, following
the New Jersey raids, is believed to
presage wholesale seizure throughout
the country.
Alarmed by the activity of the
United States government officials,
the food trust is reported to be in a
panicky condition and to haye thrown
on the market more than $5,000,000
worth of the cold storage stuff. This
Is indicated by the fact that while
fresh eggs remain here worth 50
cents per dozen, storage eggs are only
29 cents and the dealers declare that
if the supply unloaded by the trust
continues to grow in volume, the
price for the "preserved" eggs will
fall still lower.
Recent reports by federal inspec
tors here declared that a great part
of the eggs, fowl and egg prepara
tions held in storage were "rotten,
putrid and unfit for human use, con
taining ptomaines and other active
poisons in large quantities."
It is reported that, In order to dis
pose of the large quantities of eggs
and fowl on hand, the food trust is
dealing their stock out in the smaller
towns throughout the country, thus
evading federal inspection.
To reach this practice the pure
food authorities are said to be plan?
nlng a crusade which will carry them
into all these smaller towns and cit
ies, and it It expected that millions
of dollars worth of the rotten pro
ducts will be seized and destroyed.

Springfield, Mo., Jan. 16. The trial
of Walter Dipley and Goldie Smith,
the man and woman accused of the
murder of Middleweight Champion

Steep and Unsuitable for Building Purposes, and the Top of.
the Hill Is Above All Water Pressure Service The Rail
road Runs Through Tract and Governor Says It Would Cost
$1 0,000 a Year to Protect Patients.
Declaring that the State Board of
Trustees, last week, upon visiting the
site, which was rerently located by
the old board of trustees, at Pendle
ton, for an Eastern Oregon Insane
Asylum, with the view of making
estimates for the construction of
buildings upon It was unable to find
upon the whole 324 acres a single
spot suitable for building purposes,
Governor West this afternoon in a
message submitted to the state legis
lature asks that body to appoint a
committee of five, two from the sen
ate and three from the house, to visit
the site with a committee of five
named by the board and investigate
the site and report back its findings
to the legislature.
YVImt Message gays.
The special message ' was sent to
both houses upon their convening this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. In it the gov
ernor states that pursuant to the law
on the subject the board of trustees,
consisting of himself and State f reae
urer Kay, made a visit last week' to
the site for the purpose of making
estimates for buildings, for' the. con
8tructlc)i of which, appropriations are
necessary by the legislature. He then
proceeds to state that the board was
unable to find upon the whole tract a
spot which was suitable for building
purposes, and asks that the matter be
investigated by the legislature. He
further advises that body that the
board has appointed a committee of
five consisting of Dr. Andrew C.
Smith, Dr. Harry Lane, Dr. J. F. Gal
breath, Dr. V. T. Williamson, of
Portland, and State Engineer Lewis
to make an investigation of the site
as to Its suitability for building pur
poses and asks that a committee of
five two from the senate and three
from the house, bo appointed by the
legislature to accompany the com
mittee to Pendleton and join In with
It in Its investigations.

"It makes no difference if the state
lias bought and paid for the site.
This board has before it the duty of
erecting, maintaining and managing

want to condemn it on my individual
judgment alone. It Is not necessary
to go Into details but the site docs
not satisfy me after an examination
such as I have been able to give."
Kay Agrees With Governor.
"When the board made the visit U
the site to select a place for the con
struction of buildings and to make
estimates for their construction,' it
took with it Dr. Stelner, superintend
ent of the Oregon Insane Asylum,
C. A. Murphy, assistant engineer and
architect Hazelton and we went over
the land purchased," said State Treas
urer T. B. Kay this morning in dis
cussing the subject. State Treasurer
Kay by virtue of his office, is made, a
member of the board with Governor
West,, and so is Secretary of State
Benson, but he is absent in California
and could not visit the site. .
"There are, 140 acres ot land which
lie south "of the road.' anil .'railroad

land lies In' a bend of the river and
