BREED NEEDS ASSISTANCE

CONNELL PRAISES HIS WORK

' C. R ("Doc") Breed la trying aa hard aa
Jie know how to Irt go of the position of
assistant city veterinarian and slaughter
house Inspector. Health Commissioner Con
nell dues not want to let him go and Breed
. is atlll working-.
"Ile a Just the kind of a man I want on
that Job," said Dr. Connell. "He la In dead
earnest, and after experimenting In every
way he tella me frankly no one man can
Inspect the cattle before and after killing
at the Independent packing planta In .South
Omaha. He not only tells me thla, but
proves It.
. "Ur. Breed's reports to this office show
that during the month of April he con
demned and Bent to the rendering tanks
twenty-eight head of atocl,. One day he
. condemned aeyen,- anolhpr day five, and a
third day three.' Nothing could better
prove the great necessity for the strictest
kind of Inspection of those planta, to pro
tect the people of (J ma ha against tainted
meat.
Independents liny Heavily.
"During the month .of April no less than
1.428 head of stock were handled and killed
by the indepri dent packers from the stock
yards aor.e. They ulao buy. from farmers,
and must get a good many more In that
way. Our people really have little or no
Idea of the extensive operations of the In
dfpendent packets. If we handled these
houses on the government plan It would
take four or five men to attend to the
work. Aa It la, I am now sure the only
thing we can do Is to' employ an assistant
for Dr. Breed, because he has shown by
diligent (ffort that one man cannot possibly
' attend to the work in proper shape, and
' -e don't want any merely perfunctory In
spection. If we did. we couldn't have Dr.
Breed's services, because ht- refuses to play
' at Inspection, lie tells me that on one
particular day recently he found this con
dition: At 5:30 In the afternoon one house
had seventeen head yet to be killed, a sec
ond had ' thirty head awaiting slaughter
and a third house had eight head yet to
be disposed of.
' "I' knew that Dr. Breed has been on
til job as early aa 0:30 In the morning,
and surely from that time until 6 o'clock In
the afternoon makes a sufficiently long
day for any man to work. He also frankly
says that If the city cannot go about the
Work right It had better be discontinued
' until we can. But that's Just what t want
to avoid, and I believe public sentiment
will be solidly behind the city council If
It takes steps to have the inspection prop
erty continued."
Dr. Breed himself was reticent In talking
until he knew his superior had been seen,
but he makes it plain that he does not
want to hold the Job merely to draw the
salary. He wants It understood that unless
the inspection can be made in the right
way he does not want to be responsible for
It at all.
Incidentally, It may be mentioned that
'since taking the Job of inspector Dr.
Breed has ordered Improvements at the
. independent plants that have involved an
' expense of about $7,000 to the owners.

which she gaily sailed away to new tri

After a good deal of diplomatic cross-ex

ances the secret was cautiously whispered
to a few dear friends, with the result that
everybody knows it now. It was not ex

Rip Van Winkle
Awakes in Court
Aged Residenter of Spuyten Duyvel
' Denies Charge of Intoxication.
Court Agrees.
i
Mid a flow of castlgation, complaint and
reproach, a hoary haired prisoner was led
Into the police station Friday night. The
prisoner was Rip Van Winkle. He had
been awakened from a long sleep and was
being charged with drunkenness.
"Where's Mostyn?" said the prisoner,
as he faced the desk sergeant.
"He's acting chief. Anything I can do
for you?" the sergeant asked.
"Where's O'Brien, McCarty and Flana
gan?" continued the prisoner.
O'Brien's dead. ' So Is McCarty. Flanagan
is running a gold mine in San Dlego(" the
sergeant answered.
'.'Ain't any of the old boys around?"
queried the prisoner, plaintively.
"Say, Rip, wake up," said the sergeant.
"What's your nam and where do you
live?"
"Rip?" 8sy young man, my name is yes,
my name Is Rip Rip Van Winkle," the
aged man said. "I live in Spuyten Duyvel,
New York."
Thus was Rip Van Winkle booked on
the police blotter. Patrolman O'Connor ar
rested the aged man under the impression
he was sleeping on the sidewalk and there
fore, was drunk. The ged prisoner de
clared his captor was an evil man of
devilish trlckerv. He denied the charge
of drunkenness. Judge Crawford discharged
Rip Saturday morning.
He strolled from the station whistling,
Rip Van Winkle was a lucky man."

Six Rounds with Tom Smith Makes
Good Exhibition.
Quy Buckles went six rounds with Tom
Smith at Oathoff's hall. Friday night In a
boxing match and although no decision was
given Buckles had the better of tha argu

Smith forced the fighting and should have
credit for his. aggressiveness, but Buckles
slipped over the most effective blows and
worried his opponent from start to finish.
Two or three swings were started by Buck
les mat wouia nave Deen nay-makers had
pmitn not got away.
hmlth was strong at . all times and de
served credit for forcing the fighting from
the tap of the gong.
young Mexste went arter Kid Barker In
a preliminary ana a hot batle ensued. Dan
Wilson refereed the bout and after three
spasms called the bout a draw. Yuuni
Mesne fought from the tap of the bell and
had the "kid going all the time.
The first preliminary was a free-for-all
between four colored fighters and afforded
lota of amusement for the spectator. It
waa a general slugging match and after
time was called no one knew who had
the best of the argument.

Judge to Measure Sentence by
Amount of Loot.
Henry Logan, convicted highwayman,
stood before Judge Estelle In district court
and gave further evidence, if any were
needed, that the low-brow point of view as
to the seriousness of a crime depends not
on the kind of crime committed, but upon
the amount of swag.
"I didn't get much. Judge," pleaded
Logan, who la a colored man. "This here
cheap rkate didn't have nothing but $6
and a bum watch."
"If he had had (0.000 and a Geneva
chronometer, you'd have taken them,
woulan't you?" Inquired the court.
Logan, who held up Stevan Scholse April

Strikes anJ Politics.
SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., May 6.-T0 the
Editor of The Bee: One feature of the
packing house strike Just closed In South
Omaha, Is, I think, deserving of more than,
passing interest, and that Is the fact that,
the strikers belonged to no union, and that
preceding the strike and during the con-J
tinuance thereof, there was absolutely no
outsider Involved on the part of the strik
ers. One of the stock complaints of em
ployers in time of labor troubles, Is that
the trouble Is always caused by "the
union," (though the union Is simply the
men themselves), and by "outside profes
sional labor agitators," etc. Yet here we
see a strike with no union and no out
siders whatever, and I am glad that for
once the Issue may not be clouded and
that the cause may be clearly defined, viz
the starvation wages paid and the broken
time enforced on the men. It Is a matter
of congratulation that the strike was
settled and that the men won some con
cessions and their condition la somewhat
Improved. It is to be hoped that the em
ployers In this Instance, may be moved
to further amelioration of the men's con
ditions before the men are driven to force
a part of the concessions that any right
thinking person will admit they should re
ceive. A wage of 19 cents per hour, even
with steady employment la a pitiful com
mentary on the "American Btandard of
living."
That tha men should have been compelled
to strike to compel even this meager com
pensation argues to my mind that there
Is something radically wrong with
Industrial conditions at the present
time. Under this system of econom
ics now in force the only way
of settling Industrial disagreements Is
to fight It out I. e. strike, and this has
been proven a very unsatisfactory method,
both to employer and employed, not to
mention "the Innocent bystander," the pub
lic. It has been suggested that a compul
sory arbitration law would settle the mat
ter of strikes, but this is open to question.
I believe that as long as the workers are
compelled to work with no voice In deter
mining their compensation, that even an
arbitration law would be futile. And under
our present political system the chances
of a public board of arbitration being
simply the tools of the employing class, is
so great as to amount to a practical cer
tainty. It is a regretable condition, but the his
tory of labor legislation has been that It
has always fallen short of expectations, to
state the case mildly. Is the fault with the
system under which we are operating? A
grrat and growing political party answers
In tha affirmative and my observation Is
that many, not only of the working class,
but of other classes of society are becom
ing Imbued with the philosophy of this new
political faith and that the real strength
of the movement Is measured In only a
fractional degree by the vote heretofore
cast by the party recognised as the medium
of this political creed. I believe the par
tics now In power are in trial in the
court of the voters' Inner thoughts and
unless a comprehensive plan of meeting the
problems Indicated by the recent unpleas
antness at South Omaha, is adopted, vi

Barefoot Beggar
Gets Easy Money
Mendicant Stationed at City Hall
Stages Winning Sketch Aimed
at Sympathy. .
Barefaced graft may be common, bit'
barefoot graft Is he latest brought to thr
attention of the police. Travelers on the
early cars Saturday morning , if th-y
alighted on lower Farnam street, had theii
attention attracted by a man who was
barefoot and claimed to have lost his shoes
somewhere.
"I could march to glory, or at least cei
home, If I had enough nvmey to get an
old pair of shoes," was the plea of tin
man to the crowd that usually gathered
about him, and which crowd was always
changing, because the shoeless man moved
from corner to corner.
A city hall employe who watched his
operations for some time went up to the
city building with a determination to re
sign his Job and take to gypsylng on the
street. "It was the slickest thing to ere!
the small change that I have seen In a good
while," he said. "That man had the most
innocent air and the most plausible method
for gathering In the dimes and nuarteiv
that has been seen around this diggings 1 1
some time. His feet looked cold, too, snd
he was an actor worthy of the stage. While
I watched him, after I got on to his game,
he must have easily cleaned up U or $3."
The fakir. If such he was, got off the
street In time to avoid arrest.
