SENATOR GORMAN
DIES SUDDENLY
HEART TROUBLE GIVEN AS
W: CAUSE OF DEATH
Notable Figure In National Congress
Serves Continuously for Eighteen
Year*— Sketch of His
By As* Delated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 4. — Arthur
Pu» Gorman, United States senator
from Maryland died suddenly at his
residence In this city at 9:06 o'clock
this morning. /■'»-" ,
While Senator Gorman had been 111
for many months, he had shown some
Improvement lately. Heart trouble was
the Immediate cause of death.
j Senator Gorman long had been a
notable figure In the national congress.
He first: took his seat in. 1881 and
served continuously for 18 years, and
nearly all of that time he was the
leader of his party In the senate.
I Winning early a reputation for sagac
ity and the keenest Judgment In con
gressional affairs, he attained prom
inence not only as a leader in the sen
ate but in the country at large, and
by many men was considered the most
available man in his party for the
presidency. He was chairman of the
executive committee and managed tho
campaign that resulted in the election
of Cleveland In 1884.
Defeats Election Bills >
The most notable contest of his con
gressional career and one which at
tracted to him wider attention than
anything' else was when he led- the
senate minority in 1890-91 nnd de
feated the federal elections bill.
To his sagacious leadership and
adroit management his party friends
attributed the defeat of the measure
•which was so obnoxious to tho south.
When the Democrats had control of
the senate Gorman was tho recognized
leader of that body. It was at that
time that the tariff bfll of 1594 was
passed, and although tho Maryland
senator was not a member of the fin
ance committee, he had so much to do
with shaping thn measure that his
name is often given to it, and in fact
It is frequently called the Wilson-Gor
man tariff. »
It was durinp; Cleveland's last ad
ministration that a break occurred be
tween the Democratic president and
the leader of the party in the senate.
In' a (speech which always will be re
membered by those who heard It, Sen

MARYLAND SENATOR WHO EXPIRED YESTERDAY
ARTHUR PUE GORMAN
ator Gorman severely arraigned the
president.
Speech Brings Defeat
To this opposition the defeat of
Senator Gorman a few years later was
attributed, although his party lost
Maryland In the sliver campaigns. As
soon as the Democrats regained con
trol of the stato he was Rt once re
elected to the senate.
It was a tribute to hi* leadership
that as soon as he was again In the
senate he was made leader of the mi
nority, and although the seniority
rule is strictly enforced, Mr. Gorman
was given committee places that were
equal to those he hnd held after long
continuous service.
Senator Gorman was vigorously op
pnßed to the acquisition of the Philip
pines and fought the ratification of
tho Paris treaty with all the force he
possessed.
Knowing thnt strong pressure was
being exerted on Democrats who were
standing with him, he urged an early
vote, which friends of the treaty held
back until tho necessary two-thirds
of the senators were secured. ,
Pleads for Economy
Condemning extravagance in public
expenditure, Senator Gorman's pleas
for (economy voiced the views of his
party that less money should he spent
for big ships nnd more for river and
harbor Improvements.
The news of his death reached the
capltol building nt about 9:50 o'clock,
when it was filling fnr tho day's work.
It is understood that the funeral ser
vices will be private and will be held
Ht the Gorman home. The senate will
be represented by a committee of Its
members chosen from colleagues who
served with him for many years.
Senator Gorman, in a written r<v
qutst addressed to Mrs. Gorman,- asked
LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING," JUNE 5, 1905.
ithat no state funeral should bo held.
He said that he did not wish his body
to be brought to the capltol, ns he
wanted his colleagues always to think
of him as they knew him in life as
nn active senator.

ONE MAN KILLED;
MANY INJURED
Motorman Helpless When Brake Gives
Way— Passengers Piled In Con

Tree
By Associated Press.
. SAN JOSE, Cal., June 4.— One man
was killed and several injured by the
wrecking of car No. 6 on the San Jose
& LosGatos interurban line at 6: BO
this morning, at the foot of a steep
trade, where the lines makes a sho -c
curve to turn into the town from Sara
toga avenue.
The dead:
JOHN DAVY, laborer, aged 70, 496
Park avenue, San Jose.
The injured:

ond street, San Jose: ankle sprained.
Joseph Cruz, San Jose; bruises and
cuts.
John Delayo, San Jose; cut by fly-
Ing glass.
J. Theasby, Los Gatos; bruised.
Motorman Helpless
The accident was caused by a brake
breaking when the car was about half
way down the hill.
Motorman Thomas D. Manhire, one
of the most experienced on the line,
was perfectly helpless, and when the
swiftly speeding car reached the curve
at the bottom it shot completely across
the road into the old Los Gatos cem
r-try, smashing down a telegraph polo
and crashing into a large oak tree.
Davy, the man who was killed, met
death by jumping from the rear: plat

feet away and his skull was crushed
and his right arm torn from his body.
The other passengers remained .in
the car and were injured when It
struck the tree. Neither the motorman
nor the conductor, John A. Marcum,
was hurt.
.The Injured were immediately con
veyed to Los Gaton for attention. The
car was not badly damaged, but tho
track was torn up for some distance.
DENIES MEXICANS
WERE EXECUTED
By Assoclatti) Presa.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 4.— A tele
phone message direct from Col. Greene
in Oananea denies the reports that the
ringleaders in the riot were executed
by Col.. Kosteiilneky, and that Gov.
Ysabel. had been placed under arrest
for having brought American volun
teers across the boundary.
So far .an known only three Ameri
cans and sixteen Mexicans were killed
during the disturbance. In addition to
the Metcalfs, liurt Bush of Blsbee was
killed.
Fifteen soldiers are on the way to
Cananea from the city of Mexico.
There was no disorder yesterday or last
night and the situation today is peace
ful. Col. Oreene walked to Ills ofllce
without a guard this morning. He Bays
he expects to resume work at the mines
and smelter today. Capt. Rynning. and
his rangers returned to Douglas last
night.
LOCUSTS BRING ILL OMEN
Special to The Herald,
ULASOOW, Ky., June 4.— Millions of
locusts bearing the cabalistic letters
"W. W. on their varl-colored wings
are literally overrunning this part of
the state and the superstltltous regard
their coming as an 111 omen. The let
ters are translated an "war and want,"
and maiiy people In this section are
firmly convinced that a season of dis
aster is ut hand.
itli'haril Brooks, a farmer, says he re
members ttell the visitation of locusts
in 18811 when they bore ou their wings
the letters "P. **„" which was taken to
mean "peace and prosperity."

MASS OF FILTH
REPORT TO CONGRESS MAKES
MANY CHANGES s
Lunch Rooms, Closet* and Slaughter
Pent Open One Into the Other.

scrlptlon
(ConHnned from Pace One.)
taken had been inspected at the time
of slaughter.
"If Inspection of health fnnfl profl
licts at all stages of preparation Is not
secured by the passage of legislation
recommended, I shall feel compelled to
order that all Inspection labels mid
certificates on canned products shall
not be used hereafter,
"The report shows thnt the stock
yards and paoklnp houses are not kept
even reasonably clean, and that the
method of handling and preparing food
products !b uncleanly and dangerous
to health.
"Under existing law the national
government has no power to enforce
inspection of the many forms of pre
pared meat food products that are
daily Rolnpr from tho packing houses
Into interstate commerce.
Appropriation, ls Inadequate
"Owing to an Inadequate appropria
tion the department of agriculture Is
not even able to place Inspectors In all
establishments desiring them. The
present law prohibits the shipment oC
uninspected meat to foreign countri«s,
but there Is no provision forbidding
the shipment of uninspected meats in
Interstate commerce, and thus the
avenues of interstate commerce are
left open to traffic in diseased or
spoiled meats.
"If, as has been alleged on seemingly
good authority, other evils exist, such
ss the Improper use of chemicals and
dyes, tho government lacks power to
remedy them.
"A law is needed which will enable
the Inspectors of the general grovern
ment'to Inspect and supervise from the
hoof to the can the preparation of meat
food products. The evil seema to be
much less in the pale of dressed car
casses than In the sale of canned ami
other prepared products.
How to Meet Expenses
"In my judgment the expenses of the
Inspection should be paid by a fee
levied on each animal slaughtered. If
this is not done an Insufficient ap
propriation, and whenever there was
no particular interest In the subject.
It would not be only easy but natural
thus to make the appropriation Insuffi
cient. If It were not for this consid
eration I should favor the government
paying for it.
"The alarm expressed in certain
quarters concerning this feature should
be allayed by a realization of the fact
that m no case, under such a law, will
the cost of inspection exceed 9 cents
per head.
"I call special attention to the fact
that this report Is preliminary and that
the investigation is still unfinished. It
Is not yet possible to report on the
alleged abuses in the use of deleterious
chemical compounds in connection
with canning and preserving meat
products, nor on the alleged doctoring
In this fashion of tainted meat and of
products < returned to the packers as
having grown unsalable from ago .or
from other reasons.
Legislation Is Needed
"Grave allegations are made In
reference to the abuses of this nature.
L,et me repeat that under the present
law there practically Is no method of
stopping these abuses if they should
be discovered to exist. Legislation Is
needed in order to prevent the possi
bility of all abuses in the future.
"If no legislation is passed, then the
excellent results accomplished by the
work of this special committee ■will en
dure only so long as the memory of
the commissions' work is fresh and re
crudescence of the abuses is absolutely
certain.
"I urge the immediate enactment
into law of provisions which will en
able the department of agriculture
adequately to inspect the meat and
meat food products entering Into In
terstate commerce and to supervise the
methods of preparing the same, and
to prescribe the sanitary conditions
under which the work shall be* per
formed.
"I therefore commend to your fav
orable consideration and urge the en
actment of substantially the provisions
known as Senate Amendment No. 29
to the act making appropriations for
the department of agriculture for tho
fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, as
passed by the senate, this amendment
being commonly known as the Beve
rldge amendment.
"THEODORE ROOSKVELT."
Filth Is Everywhere
The report says that two and one
half weeks were spent in the Inves
tigation in Chicago, during which "we
wen': through tho principal packing
houses In the stock yards district, to
gether with a few of the .smaller ones."
A day was spent by Mr. Reynolds in
New York city in tho investigation of
its leading slaughter houses.
The report says that in many of the
rooms where water Is used freely the
floors are soaked and slimy and thu
dark and dingy rooms are naturally
not kept suitably clean.
An absence of cleanliness was found
everywhere in the handling of meat
being prepared for tho various meat
food products.
The parts that are sent from the
cooling room to these departments,
where various forms of meat products
are prepared, are handled with no re
gard whatever for cleanliness. The
workers climb over heaps of meat, se
lect the pieces they wish and frequent
ly throw them down upon the dirty
floor beside their bench.
Shovel Meat From Floor
"In a w6rd," the report adds, "wo
saw meat shoveled from filthy wooden
floors, piled on tables rarely washed,
puuhed from room to room in rotten
box carts, in all of which processes it
was in the way of gathering iliit,
BplintcTH and floor filth.
vltv It was always the reply that this
meat would afterward be corfked and
that this sterilization would prevent
any danger from Its use. A very con
siderable portion of the meat so han
dled Is scut out as smoked products
and In the form of sausages, which
are prepared to be eaten without be
ing oooked.
"A particularly glaring Instance of
uncleanlineas was found In a room
where the best grade of sausages was
being prepared for export."
The report says that the radical
defect in •tho inspection system is that
it is confined at present by law to
paßHlng on the healthfulnees of an
imals at the time of killing, but that
the meat that is used in Duusage and
the various forms of canned producta
nnd other prepared {incut foods goes
through many processes, of which
there Is possibility of contamination
through unsanitary Jinndllno: and
further danger through the use. of
chrtnlcntft.
No Government Inspection
. During nil these processes them Is
no Riivmniini:. liit.|irctl«>n, nlthousli
lhrm> productions when Kent, out benr
a lahel stinting they hnvo l>«en passed
upon by tho government Inspectors.
The report nnnlßns the sanitary
provisions in the buildings hk aboml
nnhle and nays the men nnd women
plunge their unwashed hnndn into the
meat to be converted into food
products.
The report snys the burden of pro
tertlng the rieaiilliiesfl nnd the whofe
somenesn of the products and the
health of the workers and Improving
the conditions tnttst fall upon the na
tional government.
Department superintendents "seem to
ignore nil considerations except the
Recount books," mid proper care of the
products nnd of the! health and com
fort of the employes Is Impossible and
thn consumer consequently suffers.
Tuhero,tilosls victims expectorate on
tho spongy wooden floors of tho dnrk
work rooms, front which fallen scraps
of meat nre later shoveled up to be
Inter converted Into food products.
Ignore Ordinary Decencies
"Even the ordinary decencies of life
flre completely Ignored," says the re
port In discussing the arrangements for
men and women employes. The re
port snys:
"Nothing shows more strikingly the
general indifference to matters of
cleanliness nnd sanitation than do the
closets for both men and women. The
prevailing type is made by cutting oft
a section of the workroom by a thin
wooden partition rising to within a
few feet of the celling. These closets
usually ventilate Into the work room,
though a few nro found with a win
dow opening into the outer air.
"Many nre locnted In the Inside cor
ners of the workrooms, and thus have
no outside opening whatever. They
are furnished with a row of seats,
generally without even side partitions.
These rooms sometimes are used ns
cloak rooms by the employes. Lunch
rooms are constructed In the same
manner, by boarding oft a section of
the work room, often adjoining the
claiets, the odors of which add to the
generally unsanitary state of the at
mosphere.
No Lavatory Provisions Made
"Abominablo as the above named
conditions are, the one that affects
most directly and seriously the cleanli
ness of the food products is the fre
quent absence of any lavatory provis
ions in the closets.
"Washing sinks are either not fur
nished at all or are small and dirty.
Neither are towels, soap or toilet paper"
provided. Men and women return di
rectly from these places to plunge their
unwashed hands into the meat to be
converted Into such food products ns
sausages, dried beef and other com
pounds.
"Hence, in some cases, the fumes that
would naturally arise from these condl
tlons.swell the sum of nauseating odors
arising from the dirty, blood-soaked,
rotting ■wooden rooms, fruitful culture
beds for the disease germs of men and
animals.
"The whole situation as we saw it. in
these huge establishments tends neces
sarily and inevitably to the moral deg
radation of thousands of workers, who
are forced to spend their working hours
under conditions that are entirely un
necessary and unpardonable and which
are a constant menace not only to their
own health, but to the health of those
who use the food products prepared by
them."
Compulsory Examination
The report urges compulsory exam
ination after slaughter, inclusive of
goats, now exempt from inspection,
intended for foreign or interstate com
merce, in the list subject to the In
spection of the bureau of animal in
dustry and that they should be equal
ly controlled by the secretary of agri
culture: increase of inspectors for
night Inspection and special work; leg
islation prohibiting declarations of
government inspection or food products
unless subject to government inspec
tion at every stage of preparation;
prohibiting interstate transportation of
any meat or meat food products not
inspected and labeled; -urges consider
ation of the specific labeling of all
carcasses sold as fresh meat which upon
examination after slaughtering show
signs of disease but are still deemed
suitable for food; and recommends
