REPULSIVE STATE OF SOME
SLAUGHTERHOUSES SHOWN.
Austin City Commission Being Urged
lo Build a City Abattoir as a
Solution to Dangerous
Existing Conditions.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 22.—E. II. Golaz,
chemist in the State Food aud Drug De-
partment, has made some remarkable
photographs of slaughterhouse conditions
near Austin, where meat is supplied to
butchers in this city. Some of ilie prints
show repulsive conditions. One view is
the rear of the slaughterhouse, and, al-
most black with flies. The inserts are so
thick it resembles large swarms of bees
covering the whole side of a building. It
would be necessary to compute them by
the millions. If an estimate was made of
their numbers.
The Austin city commission is now be-
ing urged to build a city abattoir as a
solution to the dangerous conditions ex-
isting at local slaughter pens. The cost
would be .$25,000 and would pay interest
on the investment. Paris, a smaller com-
munity than Austin, has a municipal
abattoir which Is a success and returns
10 per pent on the investment. Not only
is Austin menaced by the slaughterhouse
conditions, but scores of other Texas
towns are similarly situated and the state-
ments made by the State Food Depart-
ment apply generally.
Practically all European cities nave mu-
nicipal abattoirs, where cattle are inspect-
ed and killed under sanitary conditions.
This insures healthy animals properly
slaughtered. The refuse is rendered and
valuable fertilizer saved; nlso 'he glue,
the hides and the phosphate from the
bones. A municipal incinerator could be
operated in connection to dispose of the
horses, cows, dogs, cats, chickens, etc.,
that die in the city. They now form pest-
holes.
Food Commissioner Abbott is strongly
urging municipal abattoirs over Texas.
The butchers cannot complain, as it will
cheapen the cost of slaghtering and save
all by-products. A cold stroage plant
in the same building will save the waste,
and the health of the people is safe-
guarded, insist the pure foo dexperts.

tion in particular lines of study, for espe-

Tbe Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 22.—Adjutant Gen-

ORIENT CASE IS HEARD
Supreme Court Receives Submission of
Two Motions.
Tbe Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 22.—In a special
session today the Supreme Court received
the submission of the two motions in
the controversy growing out of the at-
tempt of the Kansas City, Mexico &
Orient Railway Company to remove its
general offices and shops from Sweet-
water to San Angelo. Two hours t » each
side was allowed, an extension of the
usual time for argument.
Attorneys for the railroad company and
Ran Angelo made emphatic argument that
the former ease finally decided by the
Supreme Court adjudicated ail questions
at Issue and that the court should en-
force its mandate, which would permit
the removal from Sweetwater. Attorneys
representing Sweetwater citizens contended
that the recently decided case involved
oily the rights of the municipality <>f
Sweetwater and not individual citizens,
therefore they were entitled to have tin?
ecurts pass upon the question of their
contracts with the Orient to maintain of-
fices and shops in Sweetwater.
Following the overruling of th#» motion
for rehearing in the recent case, the com-
plaining citizens of Sweetwater instituted
injunction proceedings in a district court
to prevent the Orient from removing its
offices. This was met by the railroad
with a writ of prohibition from the Su-
preme Court directing the district judge
not to Interfere, and citing him to appear
today and show cause why the prohibi-
tion should not be made permanent. This
whs followed by Sweetwater citizens fil-
ing a motion to dissolve the writ of pro-
hibition pending an adjudication of their
individual contractual rights with the rail-
road company. And it was set for today.
'I hus both sides were heard today, ^nd
the argument was vigorous at all stages
While the court could decide the mat-
ter Wednesday, it is probable a decision
will not be rendered for two weea?.

Acting on tbe appeal of the Austin club
from the decision of the board of direc-
tors of the Texas League, tbe National
Association board of arbitration, through
Secretary Farrell, has awarded Player 1*.
J. Casey to Beaumont, affirming the find-
ings of the Texas body In every point.
Notice to this effect reached President
Devcr of the Beaumont club yesterday,
and be wired Casey to report to the club
at Houston Wednesday. Casey has been
with Austin thus far this season, pending
tbe decision.
The case arose over the transfer of the
Oklahoma City franchise and players to
Beaumont, Austin claiming a prior agree-
ment with the Indians regarding the player
(in question. However, no record was
made at the time with the National board's
secretary, this being overlooked by Austin,
and as a result Casey went to Beaumont
with the othets, under tbe rules of the
minor leagues' agreement.
Morris Block, chairman of the Texan
League board of directors, viewed the
matter thus at the recent meeting, and it
was voted that way after somo discussion,
Austin being given ten days in which to
file protest. This was done, and the de-
cision was reached and the report made
by Secretary Farrell yesterday.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 21—First Baseman
Pat Casey goes to Beaumont. President
Iglehart of tho Austin Field Club to-
night »wired Manager Downey with the
Senators in Fort Worth, to send Casey
to the Beaumont club now playing In
Houston. This was done on the' receipt
if advices from Secretary Farrell of the
National Baseball Commission in Auburn,
N. Y., that ho bad decided tho disputed
ownership of tho crack first sacker in
l'uvor of the new club in South Texas.
Austin claimed Casey by transfer from
Oklahoma City early this year, but the
Texas League directorate decided Igle-
hart had not complied with the techni-
calities of purchase, although he con-
tended he had put buyers of the Indians'
franchise in tho Houston meeting on no-
lice that lie had acquired the player.
Austin's appeal to tho National Com-
mission is lost.
However, Mr. Iglehart said tonight he
is thoroughly satisfied with McLeary
at the initial station.
"AicLeary is young, enthusiastic and a
good Utter," Austin's president said.

Schlitz is brewed in absolute cleanliness—
