Mayor Schmitz will begin an investiga
tion this morning at 10:30 o'clock into the
allegation made by ex-Civil Service Com
missioner Mershon that "Barney" Tracy,
a saloon man, prepared four questions
to be incorporated in the proposed exam
ination for milk inspectors which ho f'd
Mershon would be acceptable to C 4
misaioner McCarthy.
The questions are said to have been
prepared in the interest of John A.
Brown, former secretary of the Board of
Health and now temporarily employed as
a milk Inspector. The Mayor has issued
citations for Tracy, McCarthy, Mershon
and Brown to appear and tell their sto
ries, as he intends to sift the matter to
the bottom. Coming as it does on the
heels of the expose of Mershon's con
nection with the peddling of questions for
the, Fire Department . examinations, the
investigation promises to be .an interest
ing one. McCarthy has already, denied
that he had any connection with the af
fair.

Governor Pardee, accompanied by sev
eral members of his staff, among them
Adjutant General George Stone, left the
city for the south on the Owl yesterday
afternoon. They go to greet President
Roosevelt and extend to him cordial wel
come to the Golden State. The announce
ment was made two weeks ago and re
peated several times since that the Gov
ernor would travel on the legislative
committee's special train, hence the in
telligence of his departure last evening
caused considerable comment.
The further information that officers of
tho Governor's staff, who were not invit
ed to accompany the commander-in-chief
on the legislative committee's special
train, went ahead on the Owl excited a
deal of gossip. It is said that the mem
bers of the Legislature who planned the
trip to meet the President and secured an
allowance of public money to defray the
expenses of the excursion made a blun
der in excluding the Governor's staff
from a function to which the Governor
was :nvited.
A California custom, honored alike in
the breach and observance, puts the staff
to tho front on every occasion when the
Governor is called upon to extend an of
ficial welcome on behalf cf the State to an
illustrious visitor. While it is remarked
that the Governor Is not a man to com
plain of a slight, it Is said that he noted
the fact that the members of his staff
got Ihe overlook from tho committee and,
therefore in order to accord to the Presi
dent of the United States such ceremonial
respect as other progressive States offer,
invited his staff, officers to join in the
greeting.
Speaker A. G. Fisk and his fellow
members of the Legislature will leave for
Redlands this forenoon on a special train
of the Southern Pacific. The party will
consist of the following named:
Lleutrnant Governor Alden Anderson and
wife. Chester A. Rowell, Thomas Flint. J. A.
Ellston, George Fitch. F. M. £mith and wife,
A. G. Ft?k and wife, William C. Ralston and
wife, Charles M. Belshaw and wife. Henry E.
Carter and sister, Robert Devlin and wife, J.
B. Sanford arid wife, Charles S. Plskron and
wife, A. M. Drew and wife. Grove L. Johnson,
Mrs. Grove L. Johnson. W. W. Allen Jr., Mrs.
W. W. Allen. James Blagg, William Harrison,
J. P. Transue and lady, J. I. McConnell, Mrs.
J. I. McConnell, I. Wertheimer and wife, Al
bert Searl and wife, Lewis Martin and
daughter, J. T. Stafford and Mrs. Dray.
Neutral observers of the conflict be
tween the "Colonels" and the "Honor
ables" incline to the opinion that tho
laurela of victory in the first skirmish
belong to the former. The people await
with some degree of interest the result of
the next meeting at Redlanda. The "Hon
orables" may retrieve their lost laurels in
the next skirmish with the "Colonels."
The President, leaving San Francisco at
midnight May 14, will go direct to the
Yosemite Valley. The Board of Yosemite
Valley Commissioners, of which Governor
Pardee is the president, has arranged for
a fitting welcome to the Chief Executive
of the nation. The notion that transpor
tation companies are providing the means
and devising the plans for President
Roosevelt's sojourn in the valley is far
from correct. Tho State of California
will be tho host on this occasion, and the
honors to the Presidential party will be
accorded through the commission.
The inspectors decided that the Alliance
had struck on Rodgers Break and that
raptaln Hardwick had been guilty of neg
ligence and unskillfulness in not having
taken the proper observations.
Captain E. X. Hardwick and his mates,
J. Sortnsen and A. G. Thomson, testified
that in their judgment the vessel wa« be
tween three and four miles and on^and
a half miles off shore and that the vessel
struck on an uncharted rock.
Judgment in the matter of the wreck
cf the eteamer Alliance was passed yes
terday by the United States local in
srector?. Captains O. F. Bolles and J. K.
Bulger. The case was somewhat similar
to that of the wreck of the Albion River,
vhose master and mate were punished by
the suspension of their licenses for one
year. The license of Captain E. N. Hard
wick of the Alliance was suspended for
enly sixty days. The Alliance struck a
rock off the coast of California, between
Point Dclgado and Point Gorda, on April
5 of this year.

Our large cities tributary to San Fran
cisco here -on the coast, including L03 An
geles, Portland and Seattle, handle all
their products under the improved sani
tary style of slaughtering and refrigera
tion, and under United Statos Govern
ment inspection, and to enlighten the
The Western Meat Company's meats
are meeting with great favor, not only in
San Francisco, but throughout the State
of California, and its business has grown
and Increased year by year, until to-day
finds the Western Meat Company's
products sought after by those desiring
goods that are handled as the Western
Meat Company's products are, with
cleanliness the chief factor, and with
a view to producing a better article than
the same class of products handled und«sr
the old style, and two other leading
slaughterers of San Francisco and Oak
land have installed the system of refrig
erating their meats, the same -as the
Western Meat Company, and it can be
honestly stated that two-thirds of the
meats offered for sale throughout San
Francisco, Oakland and Alameda during
the past five years have been refrigerated,
although other slaughterers have not
so advertised them. The products of the
Western Meat Company are the only re
frigerated, meats that carry a Govern
ment inspection stamp, although other
slaughterers can get this Government in
spection free of any expense to them, ex
cept the loss by condemnation, a* the
Government furnishes these inspectors
free of charge upon application of a
slaughterer, and the only expense that
the slaughterer is put to in having Gov
ernment inspection is the loss of the ani
mals that inspectors condemn as unfit for
human consumption when found to be
diseased.
The true history of the Butchers' Board
of Trade and the many paid articles that
have been published in the San Francisco
dailies, with a view to injuring the West
ern Meat Company, should not be lost
sight of, and, to go back some years to
review the organizing of tho Butchers'
Board of Trade, it is also well to state
that the Western Meat Company, com
posed of some of San Francisco's best
and most worthy citizens, together with
some of the leading Eastern slaughterers,
formed a oorporation and colled it the
Western Meat Company, with a view ta
locating in California tributary to San
Francisco for the slaughtering and han
dling of all classes of live stock and
meats on the improved plan, as is done in
all other cities in the United States or
any consequence, and when the Western
Meat Company invested a large amount
of capital for this purpose, the Butchers'
Board of Trade was then formed, made
up of the old-time slaughterers of San
Francisco, as well as of some of the lead
ing butchers, who took a stand together
to try and not let the Western Meat Com
pany's products become a favorite with
the public, and all kinds, of untruthful
suggestions and articles have been pub
lished and paid for by the Butchers'
Board of Trade since then with the hope
and feeling that the Western Meat Com
pany's products would not meet with fa
vor in San. Francisco. Butchers' Board
of Trade articles have stated that the
Western Meat Company's fresh meats
were frozen and that chemicals were in
jected into the meat, so as to preserve
and keep it, all of which is untruthful,
because the Western Meat Company's
dressed meats never carry a chemical in
any way whatsoever, but all animals are
slaughtered in a humane and improved
way, and after being slaughtered nothing
is done to the carcass except to put it In
a cooler where the temperature is 40 de
grees Fahrenheit.
Meats are all perishable, and if not
properly taken care of by the dealer and
consumer, no matter even if they carry
a Government inspection stamp, or a city
official inspection stamp, will not remain
sweet and sound.
In the San Francisco papers during the
past ten days certain paid articles have
appeared, fathered by the Butchers'
Board of Trade of this City, in
which United States Government in
spection and the refrigerated meats
of the Western Meat Company
have, from selfish motives, been
misrepresented. As it is possible that
many consumers may not fully under
stand the reasons that animate the
; Butchers* Board of Trade, and that have
I caused these paid articles to be published,
it is proper that a truthful statement
upon the subject should be issued for the
I benefit of the great mass of consumers in
I this community.
San Francisco is the only city of any
consequence in this country which is car
rying on a slaughtering business of live
stock where the majority of the slaugh
terers do not handle, their products in an
improved, scientific style. By this it is
meant that the bulk of the San Francisco
slaughterers are killing their live stock
and' handling it in the same way in
which this work was done twenty-five or
thirty years ago, although all cities , of
any importance outside of San Francisco
handle their killing of live stock exclu
sively under the improved sanitary meth
ods. Abattoirs have been built through
out the United States for the caring of
live stock in a wholesome manner both
before and after slaughtering. This
means that the stock, after being shipped
from the country to the place of slaugh
tering, is rested from twenty-four to foi
ty-eight hours, and even longer, before
betng killed, and upon being slaughtered
after humane, sanitary methods by
means of which the animals are thor
oughly bled and handled in a cleanly,
wholesome way, the carcasses are run
into coolers which are termed refrigerat
ing rooms, where they hang from twenty
four to forty-eight hours before being of
fered for sale to a butcher. These coolers
ar/> kept at a temperature of 40 degrow.
which is eight dejyrees above freezing
point, and which causes any animal hviat
remaining in the carcaps to leave it.
thereby keeping it healthy, wholesome
and clean. The principle is the same as
that adopted by the housewife when she
purchases anything perishable, especially
in warm weather. In these enlightened
days every child knows that perishable
products should be kept in an ice box,
refrigerator or cold storage of some kind.
The products of the Western Meat Com
pany are handled under improved, up-to
date methods, and under United Statfs
Government Inspection, which means that
competent veterinary Inspectors appointed
by the "United States Government, and
paid by the United States Government,
inspect all animals killed by Jhe Western
Meat Company, and in.=pcet the products
of the said animals after they are slaugh
tered, when, if founa in a healthy. and
desirable condition to offer as food to the
public, the UNITED STATES GOVERN
MENT PURPLE STAMP is then put on
different parts of the carcass, and when
a butcher purchases these meats from the
Western Meat Company he need never
feel that he is offering to the consumer
and public anything except what is de
sirable and wholesome.
Chief of Police Ge6rge W. Wlttman has
brought his executive ability into requisi
tion in making arrangements for the
President's visit in *o far as providing
uninterrupted sway for the vast bodies
of men who will join in the parade. With
the view of securing the full width of
the streets for the marching bodies 1500
posts will be dropped into the sockets pre
pared for their reception along the gut
terways. Over these posts will be stretch
ed twelve miles of wire rope— that Is, six
miles on each side of the streets. Here
tofore there was quite a lot of bungling
in stretching the wire ropes over the posts,
as the ropes had to be cut and knotted
at intervals where it was deemed neces
sary to leave openings at cross streets. To
Money to render the reception of the
President creditable is already subscribed.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF MONEY.
Silence, which is said to be golden, is
not an element of the motive, for it is
decreed that some of the distinguished
orators shall not remain silent when the
order of response to sentiments is reached.
Mr. de Young, as toastmaster and pre
siding officer of the function, will first
welcome the President to the metropolis
of the Paciiic Coast. The second greeting
will be offered by Mayor Schmitz, who
will* bid the President welcome on behalf
cf the municipality of San Francisco.
The third response will be uttered by
Governor Pardee. lie will extend the
welcome on behalf of our Golden State.
The President comes fourth on the pro
gramme and in | one speech will re
spond to the three messages of greet
ing. General Mac-Arthur will speak for
the army. The Secretary of the Navy,
Mr. Moody, will respond to the toast
of the navy- Fairfax II.' Wheelan.
president of the University Club, and
a Harvard classmate of Mr. Roosevelt,
will speak to the sentiment, "The Presi
dent's Alma Mater." Last on the list of
orators will come Horace G. Platt, who
will be privileged to discourse on the sen
timent, "The First I^ady of the Land."
Of course, the ladles will have the pleas
ure of reading Mr. Flatt's speech in The
C&ll the day after the banquet, but the
delight of hearing him is reserved for
those who attend the dinner. There is
no provision in the order of banquet ex
ercises for volunteer speeches. When Mr.
Platt finishes his tribute to the ladies the
master of ceremonies will dissolve the
function.
TOASTS AND RESPONSES.
• The tables are to be ( profusely decorated
with the iris and Glazenwood rosea.
Hawthorn will be placed in the panels
where the windows are. Garlands held in
golden bands criss-crossed in Greek style
will hold native fruits. Several large
baskets, ' each containing one thousand
beautiful roses, will delight the guests.
Mr. de Young proposes to make tho
banquet a superb affair— an object that
will delight the illustrious guest and re
flect credit on the metropolis of the Pa
cific Coast. Everything of decorative
style in the spacious room will take the
color of gold. The twelve tables will be
covered with liberty silk of golden hue.
The table of honor, where the President
Is to be placed, will be covered by cloth
of gold thirty feet, in length, orna
mented with deep fringe or tassels. In
the center of the ceiling a large gold bas
ket, with "> bamboo branches projecting
therefrcm, will be suspended. Gold colored
globes filled with electric light will afford
radiance from the ceiling.
The banquet to be given at the Palace
Hotel Tuesday evening, May 12, to Presi
dent Roosevelt, under the auspices of the
citizens* committee of San Francisco,
M. H. de Young chairman, will be a su
perb function. It is estimated that the
fund created by the disposal of 420 tickets
a^ $20 each will be sufficient to cover the
expense of the feast. If this sum of $S400
is not enough to meet ail demanQs the
deficit will be made good.

FOR PRESIDENT
GOES 10 GREET
THE PRESENT
The public is urgently requested to visit
the shacks in which slaughtering is done
at Butchertown, and afterward the up-to
date strictly sanitary plants of the West
ern Meat Company for the purposes of
comparison. *
purSic of San Francisco an& the consum
er |f the good qualities . that the Western
Meat Company's products carry, over and
above the products from animals killed
in the old style, was what prompted the
Western Meat Company to distribute cir
culars throughout the city, putting furth
what Government inspection of meats
means; but the competitors of the West
ern Meat Company and their friends, un
der the style of the Butchers' Board of
Trade, have taken a stand through the
San Francisco papers by having paid ar
ticles published that might persuade the
uninformed to side in with the Butchers'
Bo.ard of Trade and its untruthful and
hypocritical statements relative to the
products of the Western Meat Company.
The Western Meat Company carry on
a wholesale business exclusively, having
their principal place of business In this
city at Sixth and Townsend streets, while
they have branch wholesale houses in
Oakland and San Jose (and In the near
future will have another branch house
in Sacramento), where their products are
distributed to the trade only, and the
public is at all times invited to Inspect
the system of the Western Meat Company
in the handling of their livestock and
meats and satisfy themselves of the falsi
ty of the articles as published in the San
Francisco papers under the auspices of
the Butchers' Board of Trade.
The stockyards and abattoir of the
Western Meat Company are located at
South San Francis.co, San Mateo County,
! familiarly known <is "Baden," and free
transportation and admittance to any of
the departments of the Western Meat
Company will be gladly furnished any one
: desiring to vibit the plant of the nfore
sakl company, so that they may under
stand fully the falsity and hypocrisy pub
lished against the Western M«at Com
pany by the so-called . San Francisco
Butchers' Board of Trade.

obviate this patching and knotting Chief
Wlttman has devised a plan of having
the drums upon which the wire ropes are
wound divided into sections of blocks with
the number of feet on each drum marked
and also the oortlon of the street over
which the coll will be used. In this way
there will be no difficulty In providing for
a long or short line, as the requisition
may demand.
By the new method the whole city can
be wired oft inside of three hours, where
as heretofore it required five or six hours'
hard work to accomplish the desired ob
ject, as only one gang of men could work
on the job. Under the newly devised plan
as many men as may be necessary can
be set to work, provided each sans pick
