New Records Made
kt Beef Killing
: Contests in Park
Joe Marrk'Buhbrrs Steer in
3 Minutrs and 8 Srrondi
-Record Crowd at
Picnic.
The two ho were about 10 die
nood big truck parked under a
tree in a secluded part ui Lakeview
park yesterday afternoon. JFut a (ew
yard away wat the specially ton
airucted platform mrmounted by a
gallows some 20 feet hih, from
whirh hung block and tackle. There
they were about to die.
The crowd gathered about the plat
form, men. women and children. For
thia was the beef-killing content, big
Mature of the annual Omaha Butch
era' picnic, the first contest to be
held for aeven year.
Croat Knives.
Tom Ifarvat and Joe Marelc were
about to cross skinning knives, so
to speak. Marek was an easy favor
it because he wat already champion
bref killer of Nebraska with a record
of 3 minute SiS seconds to skin and
halve a strrr. He shot that record
all to nieces yesterday, separating the
hide cleanly from the steer in the un
believable time of J minutes and 8
seconds as officially timed by George
Hodman, llarvat required 4 mm
utes and 41 seconds to skin hit steer.
The first steer's hind legs slip
through the space between the truck
and the platform. It bellows. But
finally it is on the platform. After
the blow ou the head with a ham
mer, which drops the steer to the
floor .the gamble is booked to the
two hind legs and the steer it drawn
up. Tom llarvat is already at work,
skinning the animal. While he does
so, his helper removes the entrails.
With remarkable rapidity the big
animal is skinned and then with saw
and cleaver cut in half right through
the middle of the backbone.
"Four minulea 41 seconds," an
nounces the timer. Another truck
backs up and in less than seven min
ute after the steer stood alive and
well in the on truck, its two halves
of dressed beef lie in the other.
Takea Three Minutes.
Now the crowd turns its attention
to Joe Marek. He holds up three fin
gers, signifying that he will skin his
animal in three minutes. The tteer
it scarcely dropped before Ernest
Cloop, helper of the redoubtable
Marek, has slit the throat. He skins
and severs, the head and legs to the
knee joints and the gamble it in
serted. The skinning strokes of Marek
were marvelous. With a knife a
sharp as a raaor, he made swift
strokes along the entire length of
the animal, never cutting the hide nor
bringing off a shred of meat with the
tkin.
. The rarcass is hauled up as Ma
rek works swiftly. As his cleaver
strikes in the floor and the two
halves of beef hang in the air jiut
five minutes after the steer stood
alive on the platform, the timer an
nounces that the skinning .took 3
minutes 8 seconds.
A cheer goes up from the big
crowd. Marek is proclaimed world's
champion beef skinner. A pretty
young woman in blue flock climbs
uo on the btoodv olatform with a
kodak and takes Marek's picture.
He was awarded a prize of and
Harvat a prize of $25.
This was the chief diversion of the
annual butchers' picnic. There was
also dancing and a picnic supper.
I Rejection of Ford
rroposal Urged ny
Senator Norris
Offer for Muscle Shoals Char
acterizrd as "Most Wonder
ful Speculation Since
Adam and Eve."
The Bee Want Ads are best busi
ness boosters.
Washington, July 20. Rejection of
Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals
and enactment of legislation for de
velopment of the war-biult projects
in Alabama by a government-owned
and government-controlled corpora
tion, was recommended to the senate
by Chairman Norris of the senate
agriculture committee.
His views were set forth in a vol
uminous report, differing portions of
which were supported by various
members of the committee. Senators
Page, Vermont; McNary, Oregon;
Kej'cs, New Hampshire; Gooding,
Idaho; Norbeck, boutli Dakota;
Harcld, Oklahoma and McKinley,
Illinois, republicans, and Kendrick,
democrat, Wyoming, the report
stated, favored rejection of the Ford
offer along with Chairman Norris.
Senators Mc.Vary, Norbeck, Mc
Kinley and Gooding, it was added,
concurred with the chairman in the
recommendation for government de
velopment along the lines detailed in
the pending Norris bill.
Senator Kendrick declared in the
senate after submission of the report,
however, that he "would be glad to
vjte to approve the offer of Henry
Ford, provided a modification is made
of the time limit of the lease."
The Ford offer provides for a hundred-year
lease and Senator Ken
drick said that he favored a 50-year
maximum provided for such leases
in the federal water power act.
The report criticised the Ford offer
sharply, describing it as "the most
wonderful real estate speculation
since Adam and Eve lost title to the
r j i t ... m a I
itararn oi burn, aim inquiring wny
warranty deed to the capitol at
Washington is not included in thia
great transfer of government prop-
crtv to this wonderful corporation."
I Tl ..i.. . - i i.. . i V : .
i nc ('mil rnii'uiiicu in inv ium
bill was as highly praised a the
Ford offer was condemned. It was
described as "the most wonderful
plan for the development of power
on the Tennessee river and its dis
tribution over the southern states'
that has ever been proposed in the
history of the country."
The prediction was made that if
adupted. "it meant the transforma
tion, to a great extent, of large por
tions of the nUited States."
The report will be followed by an
other from the committee next week,
presented by Senator Ladd, repub
lican, North Dakota, and supported
by those favoring unconditional ac
ceptance of the Ford offer.
