Improved inspection and they will ap

inspection itan 10 protect im uutn.
and also require the independents to
cither obtain federal inspection or
improve the sanitation of their plants.
The investigation engendered a
sharp exchange of words between
Commissioners Butler and Ringer.
The majority, however, took the po
sition that whatever derelictions the
independents may have been guilty
of were due to the city's lax inspec
tion system.
Oft the witness stand Tuesday af
ternoon Health Commissioner Man
ning corroborated Commissioner
'Ringer's statement that a week ago
Steve Vail, one of the independents,
declared that the city inspection had
been better prior to May 1, 1917,
which caused a ripple of laughter.
"Would you have i infer that we
: ihquld administer stimulants to our
Inspectors to get the best results?"
tsked Commissioner Butler.
"It would seem that way," the
health commissioner replied.
"Do you mean to put the stimu
lants into tha viscera?" Attorney
Henry Murphy asked.
, "It depends Into which viscera you
put them," Dr. Manning said.
"That's a, hot one," remarked Chair-
man Ure. ;
Dr. Herrold on Stand.
Dr. W. C Herrold, newly appoint
ed slaughter house inspector for the
city, testified that he was familiar
with the Union Stock yards through
years of service with the United
States bureau of animal industry.
He insisted' that every animal intend
ed for food should have a postmor
tem inspection and he testified that
it had been common talk about the
yards that the public had not been
fully protected by adequate ' inspec
tion at the independent plants. '
A. E. Blaufuss, formerly city in
spector, admitted that, he may have
missed sbme carcasses during his in
spections, as the work was too much
, for himself and another inspector. ..
Fred Lightfoot, cattle salesman,
testified that he had sold inferior cat.
tie to the independents. He stated
that these small packers bid on the
inferior stuff because they can this
class cheaper. Some animals, which
had been sold to independents.'
Ringer Makes Statement.
Commissioner Ringer, whose
charges at a council meeting, precipi
tated the investigation, mate this
closing statement: "The evidence
has substantiated my statements and
has shown that stuff that was unfit for
food was found. There is no question
that there has been insufficient inspec
t ion. George Hoffman testified that
there were periods of days when no

The Bee's Fund for
Free Milk and Ice
Have you made your contribution
to help the helpless little babies and
small children ot the very poor wno
suffer ao in the beat of summer?
It is one of the most satisfactory
things to give to. Every cent you
give goes to buy the necessities of
milk and ice for some little one who
couldn't have them if you did not give.
Each case is carefully investigated by
nurses of an organization that is in
touch with these cases constantly.
It is precisely as though you bought
the milk yourself and held the bottle
to the lips of the hungry little one.
The need is great Will you send
in a contribution NOW? Any sum
from 10 cents to $5.00 is asked. Send
or bring it to The Bee office.

to whether a wireless metsage had
been dispatched, asking for assistance
and about American flying officers. I
was taken to the conning tower and
kept standing about three minutes
while I was interrogated by the Ger
man commander regarding my being
a medical officer. I saw eight or ten
men while aboard. All of them spoke
English. Finally they sent me back
to the lifeboat, my story laving tai
led With Sylvester's.
"This seemed to surprise the
Germans, as they pretended to be sure
that aviators were aboard. I have my
doubts about this belief being genu
ine, my idea being that the Germans
simply used this as a pretext for the
torpedoing of theLlandovery Castle.
Kuns jjown wrecxage.
When the second officer returned
to the lifeboat the submarine began
running down the wreckage and any
floating objects.
"The submarine," a little later maae
for us, missing our stern by two feet.
I believe the Germans tried to ram
us, but why they did not shell us
down we could not understand. Af
ter our experience we all agreed their
first intentions were to sink without
trace, but why they spared us is in
explicable unless it was because most
ot the survivors in our boat are men
of the seas, and they tell there -Is
a sort of free masonry among them.
"As the submarine disappeared we
heard ten or twelve shots, one over
our. heads. I shall never forget the
cries of the helpless men in the water
clinging to the wreckage that night.
If the Germans had not delayed us
we- would have been able to assist
many. '
Boat With Nurses capsized.
I was in the smoking room when
we were torpedoed. I first went to
the state rooms of several nurses,
but all were empty. I saw several
nurses ascending the companion way,
but never got another glance of. the
women although one survivor said
that he saw a boat with twelve of
them capsized.
"Despite the 'darkness there waj no
panic and no cries for help until an
individual reached the water. My
boat was the last to leave.
"The Llandovery Castle began set
tling rapidly, first listing and then
iiraignrening ncrseii as me now oe-
gan pointing skyward. We were
within 40 feet as she settled, going
down so gradually, that we did not
notice any suction. My last glimnse
of the ship showed the bow sticking
straight up out of the water like a
giant wounded shark and going to
her death without a struggle.
"The German sent ui afloat into
the darkness without a word of fare
well, suggestion or direction. But we
were all thankful to get away. I could
not help wonder what had become
of the others. After the submarine
disappeared all was still. There were
no more cries for help heard.
"1 hen a long night. After 36 hours
we were rescued by a British de
stroyer and here I am with every conv
tort and attention. But I cannot helo
but feel that if the Germans had not
interfered, we could possibly have
saved many of those poor souls in the
water, clinging to wreckage and cry
ing tor neip tnat never came."
No Combatants Aboard.
Washington, July 2. Before sink
ing the Llandovery Castle the German
submarine commander charged that
the vessel carried American flight of
ficers and a similar claim has been
made when other British hospital
snips were sunk. No American com
batant troops have been carried by
British hospital ships nor would any
but noncombatants be carried by
tne UMntort
A high naval official pointed out to
day that all nations are notified of
the time of sailing of a hospital ship,
Its course and tne time ot its re
turn and said that naturally the ques
tion arises as to the advisability o!
following the rules of international
law in this respect with the sailing o
the Comfort when Germany refuses
to recognize these rules.
Secretary Daniels declined to dis
cuss the matter today further than
to say that the Comfort is not ready
to sail and that no time for her de
parture for Europe to bring home

they occupied, but those who did not

The statement reads: ,
"At many points along the front
strong surprise firing attacks were
made preliminary to enterprises
launched by the enemy, which ended
in their repulse.
'West of the Oise and south of
