PACKING HOUSES
GROWING CLEANER
Meat Inspectors Bring Good
Reports to Secretary Wilson
in Conference in Chicago.
Chicago, May 8.—Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson today met the chief
meat inspectors of every large city in
the country to confer on the applica
tion of the new meat laws. Dr. Melvin,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
delivered an address in the course of
which he declared that July 1, 1906,
there were engaged in meat inspection
in 163 establishments, 764 employes.
There are now 2,029 employes in 669
establishments.
Inspection has been withdrawn from
forty-six official establishments prin
cipally because of the use of prohibited
preservatives.
"The approximate cost,” said Melvin,
"of inspection as conducted at this time
is for cattle and calves, 5 cents per
head; for swine, sheep and goats 3
*>. cents, and for the inspection of meats
* received in official establishments, from
other official establishments, one-haif
of one mill per pound."
In conclusion Melvin declared the
bureau has received in a general way
the co-operation of the packers. The
greatest difficulty thus far has been the
attainment of cleanliness. Conditions
are, however, in his opinion, working
steadily for the better.

Secretary of the Missouri Fed

President Roosevelt.
v. -
Joplin, Mo., May 8.—Mrs. Henry N.
Hess, of Kansas City,, secretary of the
Missouri Federation of Woman’s clubs,
has placed herself on record as differ
ing with President Roosevelt in regard
to the question of race suicide.
“I cannot agree with President Roose
velt,” says she, "that it should be the
aim of all families to fill their homes
with little ones. I regard the bringing
of children into the world to a life of
poverty and distress to be one of the
greatest evils of the country.
"When parents are well to do the
question assumes another phase, but it
is simply planting the seed of anarchy
in fertile soil to fill the world full of
little children and turn them loose to
battle with the world, uneducated and
unfitted for the struggle.”

Contract.
Chicago, May S.—A bill seeking to test
the validity of the contract entered into
between the Chicago-New York electric
air line and the Co-operative Construc
tion company, and to compel certain,
persons to return stock which the bill,
claims they illegally received from the
railroad, was died today in circuit court
by Theodore Nemoyer, one of the
^stockholders of the railroad company.
The acts of the officials of the rail

curate accounting cannot be had, the
court is asked to appoint a receiver for
the company which, according to the
allegations, has illegally authorized the

The plan of the railroad company is
to build and operate between Chicago'
and New York an overhead electric,
system which will allow trains to travel
between the points at a continuous rate
of seventy-five miles an hour.

WANTS TO BORROW
ABOUT $400,000
Norfolk, Va., May 8.—In answer to
reports that the Jamestown Exposi
tion company has become financially
embarrassed, Barton Myers, governor
of ways and means, gave out the fol
lowing statement:
“It is true that exposition company
desires and contemplates a loan of
about $400,000, which if it can be ob
tained on a reasonable and satisfactory
basis, is to provide for certain pay
ments on buildings and for various
items of construction and landscaping,
which are desirable for the attractive
ness of the exposition.
“The finances of this exposition are
on a more stable basis than has been
the case with other expositions, in
that it owns the land on which its
expenditures have been made, a large
proportion of which are permanent in
character, consisting of buildings,
streets, sidewalks, a complete system
of water mains, gas pipes, sewerage,
electric lighting etc. It is therefore
in a position to issue mortgage bonds
if the directors deem it expedient."

Heartbroken Father Collapses
When He Identifies Body as
That of His Son.
IUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY
lorcner's Jury Offers No Satisfactory
Explanation and Public U Skep
tical as to Accident Theory
Advanced by Officials.
Paris, May 7.—Confirmation Is se
ttee downward in three inches of wa
tiir, the body of little Horace Marvin,
uho mysteriously disappeared on
March 4, was found late last Saturday
afternoon in the marshes of Ills fath
er's farm, half a mile from the house.
The body was found by Ollie Pleas
anton, a farmer’s son, of Bay Head,
who had gone to the Marvin farm to
shoot ducks. The remains were clothed
exactly as upon the day of the boy's
disappearance—In a Buster Brown suit,
cloth coat, woolen cap and mittens. The
cap was pulled down over the face.
"It Is Horace,” Says Dr. Marvin.
After making a hurried examination
of the body, Pleasanton hastened to Dr.
Marvin’s house and made known the
news. The doctor, accompanied by ills
HORACE N. MARVIN, JR.
elder son, Harvey, went to the marshes
with their guide and recognized at a
glance the familiar clothes worn by the
boy whep he was last seen. The cap
wis lifted from the face and the father
at once exclaimed: "It is Horace.”
Body Prepared for Burial.
: I
: “Horace N. Marvin, jr., died :
: March 4. 1907, aged 3 years and 10 :
: months.” :
This simple inscription was placed
upon the casket of the little son
of Dr. H. N. Marvin, who disappeared
from his home near Kitt s Hummock
just two months ago.
Funeral services were conducted in
the parlor of the Marvin home Sunday
by the Rev. H. B. Kelso, of the Metho
dist Episcopal church, and afterwards
temporary burial was made on a lawn
of the Bay Meadows farm. Later the
body will be removed to Sioux City. Ia.
Gtato Abandons Crime Idea.
Immediately upon the finding of the
body the machinery of the state and
county was started to discover the
cause of death if possible. Accidental
death with peculiar surrounding cir
cumstances probably will be the ver
dict. Coroner Joseph Calloway impan
eled a jury and testimony was taken.
Fully 300 farmers and others swarmed
around the small building, anxious to
look at the features of the little boy.
The face was hardly recognizable from
the familiar pretty portrait with which
the country was Hooded, for it was
much swollen.
Dr. Marvin, looking wan and feeble,
was sworn to identify the body as that
of his son, and he was the only wit
ness. The jury next marched across
the big wheat field to the point where !
the body was found. It was this trip
which raised in the minds of many a
doubt as to the accident theory, and
the distance as measured proved to be
1.7G0 feet on an air line. Why little
Horace should have crossed this field,
a hitch “about four feet deen.” then
through a wire fence and on into the
bog, was most mystifying.
Public Not Satisfied.
Many refuse to believe htat he did do
tills. Added to this fact were the state
ments of numerous farmers who aided
in the search that they had traversed,
after the disappearance, the identical
point where the body was found. A
measurement of the water showed
seven inches, while a few feet away
there was a much deeper hole. The
farmers said there was not so much
water there when the search was made
and pointed out to the jurors that the
heavy rain of last Friday night ac
counted for the large amount now.
This very fact, however, supplied an
argument for those who hold that the
child became bewildered and wandered
away from the house. The large pre
cipitation, they say, tended to boat the
body and wash it from the hole where
it had lain so long.
The postmortem, held immediately
after this inspection, when the jury
was set at liberty to meet the call of
the coroner, did more to give credence
to the accident theory than all else. Ex
amination showed the little boy to have
been dressed precisely as he was on the
day of his disappearance. The red knit
cap; “Buster Brown” suit, blue overalls,
reefer overcoat and blue, knit gloves,
and underwear, were all just as he left
the house on the blustering, cold, March
morning.
Pennies and Dolls in Pockets.
In his pockets were two pennies nnd
two tiny broken dolls which he is
Known to have*had. The dolls'are sup
posed to have been broken as he
crawled up the ditch or fell on the
frozen icy ground. An examination of
his body showed no outward marks of
foul play, there being no fractures or
bruises other than a mark on the right
cheek, which was of a superficial char
acter.
Only a slight amount of liquid was
found In the lungs, showing that he
did not drown. The frozen condition of
the country at that time also precludes
this idea.
Tlie doctors are considerably puzzled
at the apparent absence of food in the
stomach. Horace having eaten an egg
with some oatmeal that morning. This
started a rumor that he had been
starved to death and thrown in the pool
or bog.
Stomach to Be Examined.
Dr. Albert Robin, bacteriologist of
Wilmington and professor of pathology
in Temple Medical college, Philadelphia,
to whom were turned over the stomach
and intestines for determination as to
the probable time of death as well as
cause, s id:
"There was not, nor could there be,
a careful examination of the intestines
at the postmortem. The doctors in
charge had instructions from the attor
ney general to turn them and the stom
ach over to me for a complete exam
in:.! ion. Thin 1 will hasten and report
within a week."
Asked if there was suspicion of
poison to influence him In ordering this
examination by Dr. Robin Attorney
General Richards said: "None what
ever. and 1 did it simply because of
the national interest in the case and
to guard against any possible contin
gencies."
Mr. Richards is not inclined to the
belief that there will be future revela
tions, saying that at the present time
ho knows of suspicions against no one
who might have caused the child’s
death.
"I am through with the investiga
tion," he said. "Others may carry it on
if they wish."
Marvin Convinced of Murder.
"I am firmly convinced that my poor
little boy was killed and taken to the
place where he was found, but I have
no more theories to offer. I shall take
his body to Sioux City during the sum
mer and may remain there, but as to
this I have not decided."
DA Marin collapsed during the
postmortem examination, he wishing
. Dr. Horace N. Marymy
to be present as an observant pnytn
clan.
In support of the murder theory It
is pointed out that the grass over the
spot where the body was found was
burned over four weeks ago. There are
no marks of Are on the child's cloth
ing. Dr. Marvin himself a few days
ago nailed up a fence post almost on
the spot where the body was found.
There was no body there then.
Frank and Oliver Pleasanton and
Howard Marvin had searched over the
spot on their hands and knees three
weeks ago. So did Detective Simmons.
They declare they could not have
missed even an egg.
Hundreds of farmers, detectives and
newspaper men had searched over the
ground foot by foot day after day. It
seems incredible that the body could
have been there and not have been
found.
Marvin Grateful to Public.
“There Is little for me to say.” said
Dr. Marvin. "In my hour of great
gloom and unspeakable suspense,
the whcle American people par
ticularly the press of the country, to
which 1 cannot express thanks enough,
labored night and day to And my boy.
He is found now, the same little boy,
the name little clothing wo bundled up
for liitn on that bitter cold day in
which he went to play in the hay
stack.
“The awful, horror of not knowing,
day or night, where the little fellow
was, whether in torture or privation,
is now upon us. If his life had been
taken ir. the peace of God or by foul
hands afraid of the death penalty for
kidnaping, then that is a matter for
the state of Delaware to consider, not
for me.”

THINKS BOY MET
ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Report of Dr. Wilson Leads Dr,
Marvin to Believe Son was
Not Murdered.
Dover, Del.. May 8.—Dr. Horace Mar
vin Is now so far reconciled to tlio the'
pry of accidental death that he w ill ac
•eept without further Investigation If
the coroner's jury shall render such a
verdict.
Since the discovery of the body bo
has stonily maintained the belief that
It was placed on the marsh only a day
■or two before it was found by a kld
inaper, who sought In this way to divert
'suspicion from the real cause of the
'child's disappearance.
Statement by Dr. Marvin.
"I am forced In spite of my former
•conviction to the belief In the possibil
ity that my boy did wander out there
and die." said Dr .Marvin. "Until the
'doctors examined Horace's body 1 did
'not think It looked as though life had
been extinct more than a few days.
But Dr. Wilson's statement that death
must have occurred at least four or five
weeks ago, puts a different aspect upon
,lt. His discovery also that there was
no food In the poor little fellow’s stom
|ach, showing that he died more than a
day after he had last eaten, tends to
show that he may have Inin out there,
benumbed by the cold, while we were
'hunting all around him.
“I still cannot see how he walkec.
all that distance In the short tim«
before we began to search for hirr,
and how his body escaped our obser
vation in the many times we searched
the marsh, but such things they say
.have happened before. I remember
distinctly, that Mr. Pource, of tho
iPlnkerton detective force and I wero
tit the very spot where the body wm
found several weeks ago. There was
only a little water there then, anil
while I sat on u log nearby Mr,
Pearce walked through it In his rub
ber boots. We thought wo seurched
It thoroughly, but we may have been
mistaken.
"My Interest in the case is ended,
I know where my boy is now and |
bare not what the authorities may
do. If lrr the future they find evidencs
that Horace was murdered I shall do
what I can to help them punish th«
guHty persons, but If the coroner’s
jury finds that tho hoy’s death was
an accident I shall uccept the ver
dict."
Accident Fairly Certain.
While formal Inquiry has been
temporarily halted, enough has been
learned within the past twenty-four
hours to establish with a fair degree
of certainty that the little boy came
to his death by exposure and starva
tion after straying from the haystack
where his cousin left him at play.
The theory that the child's body
was placed only a few days ago at the
spot where It was found on Saturday
by Oliver Pleasanton, a farmer’s son,
while it Is still held by most of the
men who took part In the many
searches of the land, has been aban
doned by the Pinkerton detectives and
the state's attorney, Robert L. Rich
ards.
Supported for a time after the find
ing of the body by the belief that ths
boy had been dead only a few days,
It Is made practically untenable by the
assertion of Dr. James H. Wilson, of
Dover, who performed an autopsy,
Dr. Wilson says that death must have
occurred from four to six weeks age
and that the absence of food from the
stomach shows that starvation was a
contributing cause.
Hours of Terrible Suffering.
How terrible was the struggle ol
the little fellow for his life after he
fell exhausted out of sight of his home
on the desolate march can be judged
by Dr. Wilson’s statement that he
must have lived forty-eight hours
after his last meal was eaten. The
condition of the stomach, the physi
cian says, shows this. With the bit
ter winds sweeping over him all ol
that day und the next night he lay on
the frozen ground half concealed by
the waving marsh grass and died
miserably while tlv' frantic father and
scores of helpers were searching all
about him.
