NEW BILL FOR
INSPECTION OF
MEAT APPROVED
Health Board Adopts Sugges«
tions of Combined Civic
Organizations
Measure Sent to Supervisors
Enforces Federal Standard
on Local Markets
Salient features of ncv> meat in
fpedion bill:
Inspection upon the ntandardii fix*d by
<hr I ul ted statr* dcparimrnt of se
riculture.
Thtf re!n«peclion at anj- time of paused
meat.
Admtasfon of meat paused by the In
spection of other counties Trhen Bat
factory to i!i«- local bcalth board.
J*ro\l»!nn for destroying meat fonnd
. unsuitable for food.
AX entirely new meat inspection
ordinance embodying all the
features contended for by the
rlvic and improvement clubs of the
city, with the backing of The Call, was
drafted last night by the board of
health; discussed, section by section,
with Doctor Rosenstlrn and Doctor
llerritt, representing the anti-tubercu
losis and the improvements associa
tions, and finally recommended to the
board of supervisors.
The bill met the approval of all.
President Eaton of the board of health
\u25a0 asked the representatives of the butch
ers, the -wholesalers and the retailers
ior their criticism, section by section,
\u25a0of the ordinance, and all proclaimed it
shot proof. The doctor thought it so
good himself that he a«ked Attorney ,
I. F. Chapman, who came over from
Oakland to speak for the transbay
etockj-ard men, to see kthe enactment
of the same bill by the Alameda county
cities.
Mature Ordinance
'"This ordinance is all right. It is
\u25a0the mature thing and satisfactory. Tlie
other substitute ordinance was imma
ture veal." said Doctor Merrltt, repre
t-rutinr- the antituberrulosls society.
Doctor Dosenstirn for the civic or
ganizations won every point for which
he contended. The admission of trans
bay meat where the Inspection is sat
isfactory to the local board; the main
' tenancy of a standard equal to that of
the federal inspection; the reinspection
of meat whenever thought advisable;
\u25a0 and provision regarding the disposal of
condemned meat were all features in
corporated in the law at his sugges
"This law will protect the city," said
.•• Rosenstirn at the session's close. "It
omboJics the safeguards_, we want. It
provides that when outside counties
.establish and enforce an inspection
rqual to our own and satisfactory to
our board the meat of these counties
• may be shipped In and sole under
their stamp. But this can only be done
with the approval of our board, which
' is right."
The first discussion arose over the
admission of meat slaughtered in other
counties. ,
No Monopoly Wanted
"Thirty-tliree per cent of San Fran
cisco's meat is slaughtered outside of
the city," said Dr. Rosenstirn. "If this
• is barred, it will tend to create a
monopoly here, Bnd besides bear hardly
...on the legitimate manufacturer* out
. side."
"Most of that meat comes from Baden
- i:nd*r f<?d>ral- inspection," said Health
Officer McXutt; "not more than one
:' seventh of the city's supply from Oak
. land and othtfr local outside markets."
"But we are putting into force a
. thoroughgoing inspection "in Alameda
county," saSd Attorney Chapman, "and
it Is not fair to the Emeryville butchers
'"to bar them from the Sa.n Francisco
market."
did you get busy with this In-
Hi^ection?" asked Commissioner Murray.
"Just since this meat Inspection mat
ter came up here in San Francisco," re
plied Chapman, frankly. "But we're
making it thorough."
"What sort of Inspectors are you
. Koing to have over there?" asked Mur
ray. "Political appointees?"
"We have inspectors the equal of your
own and no more political," said Chap
man. . \u25a0
That settled It. Section 1 of the
board's bill was amended to include not
only the local and federal Inspection,
but that of outside counties when sat
isfactory to the board.
Reinspection Possible
Reinspection was another matter in
sisted upon by Rosenstirn and accepted 1
in the following provision added:
. ''All meats and meat products offered
for sale in the city and county of San
' Francisco shall be subject to reinspec
tlon and condemnation at any and all
times by the board of health." .
The Inspection maintained shall be ;
"equal and similar to that of the United j
• States department of agriculture." wasj
added with unanimous consent, and;
then Rosenstirn prevailed on- the board
to Insert a provision that condemned
meat should be marked condemned. and
should be disposed of as prescribed In
.the regulations of the commission;
After revising and adopting the ordi
nance section by eection, It was, at Doc
tor Herri tfs suggestion, read"through
out and then formally to
tfc»'#upervisors. '

Alice WasS, Young
Schoolgirl Who
Saved Her Mother
MURDEROUS MANIAC
DISARMED BY GIRL
Fourteen Year Old Daughter
Saves Mrs. Wass From
Crazed Assailant
Little Alice Wass, 14 years old, a stu
dent at the Fairmount grammar school,'
saved her mother from death yesterday
noon by attacking, alone,, an ifftane
uncle who ran amuck with a butcher
knife. Alice fought the crazed man
until her elder sister Charlotte came to
her aid, and together they pacified him.
Before being overcome the man had
slashed Mrs. Wass, almost severing her
right car and cutting a gash in the
temple.
Six weeks ago,the uncle, John Healey,
formerly a lather, was released from
the Napa asylum. He has since been
living with his sister, Mrs. Frank C.
Condrin, at 153 Laidley square, a block
from the Wass honje. %
Mrs. Wass, who is a widow and keeps
a small bakery In front of her living
rooms at 26 Palmer street, has fre
quently supplied her brother with
' money, # -but he has labored under the
delusion that she was injuring him.
Yesterday, as Mrr. Wass and the two
girls were- at their noonday, meal;
Healey appeared. lie would not* be
pacified, but grabbed a butcher knife
from the table and made a lunge at
his sister. She. threw her head to one
side and the blow that was meant for
her throat ripped underneath her right
ear and up through the temple.
Alice Jumped from her seat, grappled
with the man and took the knife away.
He fought back furiously, but the sister
Charlotte, who was tending her
mother's wounds, joined in the scuffle
and Healey was pacified and sent away.
He returned five times during the after
noon. but»was finally arrested and taken
to the detention hospital. , Mrs. Wass
was treated at the central emergency
hospital. '
MISSIONARIES ARE
ATTACKED IN ITALY
Mob in Province of Avellino
Stones Baptist Church and
Besieges Inmates
HOME, July 5. — The American am
bassador, John\c *A. Lelshman, has
brought to the attention of the premier
and the foreign office the situation aris
ing from recent attacks upon Baptist
missionaries, in the province of Avellino.
At the time of the earthquake in. that
district ., early In June James. P. Stuart
of St.* Louis, the representative of the
American board of Baptist missions in
Italy, and other missionary t workers
were/ attacked by a mob and' were es
corted out of the district by a "detach
ment of . soldiers.
.After a conference with Premier Luz
zatti -at Rome, ; Stuart returned to the
.Avellino -district, where another attack
was ; made"- upon l»lm and his com
panions. He telegraphed a statement of
the affair to the American ambassador,
who- requested -him to come" to.; Rome.
This Stuart did, and he had a long con
ference with • Ambassador Leishman to
day. To tlie' ambassador .he reported
further details of the: occurrence. ;
A"rrlving.at:tho outskirts of Avellino.
Stuart, accompanied > by. three other
missionaries, was -met by., the chief of
police, several;. constables *.and a dozen
soldiers.. A howling crowd -of, natives
quickly . surrounded the. carriage. So
demonstrative did they become that it
was only with" difficulty- they could be
restrained by force from doing.the mis
sionaries Injury. "On all sides arose the
cry of "Down" with the Baptists," arid a
shower ' o^ stones' fell about .the car
riage. Styart was hit in the -chest the
arm and the, leg, while; the chief of po
lice ;'wa»' slightly' wounded.
•The soldiers, with drawn bayonets
formed a | circle around the Americans
and escortPd 1 them to the entrance of
the Baptist church. w The.mob/however.
stoned the ; church", from ; 4 ; until \u25a010
o'clock at night, breaking all the win-,
dows. but did no, serious damage. :
The ' besieged missionaries ' were
obliged to -remain in the" church the
entire* night. / Eventually Stuart suc
ceeded Jn sending, a "telegram to ;the
American ; ambassador, at Rome. 2 The

ROOSEVELT IN
FIGHT TO OUST
SENATOR PILES
Balliriger's Eriend Oppose j by
Miles Poindexler, Insurgent
and Seattle Representative j
Former President and Congress-
men Confer and Tell of
Mutual Confidence '-
OYSTER BAY, July s.— Theodore
Roosevelt made it clear today, not by
direct statement, but by implication so
strong that it admits of no misinterpre
tation, that he "would \u25a0 support Rep
resentative MiTes Poindexter in his ;
light for a seat in the United States
senate from the state of Washington.
They had luncheon together and a
conference at Sagamore hill," and Poin
dexter departed jubilant.,.
In indorsing Poindexter for the
senate, Roosevelt places himself
squarely in opposition' to Richard A.
Bailinger, secretary of the interior,
whom President Taft has so warmly
defended. It is the only stand he has
taken bearing directly or indirectly on
the Ballingcr-Pinchot controversy.
Plan to Unseat Piles
Poindexter is opposed to Ballingep.
and hopes to unseat Senator Piles of
Washington, who seeks anolher term !
and has Ballinger's support. The sec-V
retary and Poindexter are from the
same Seattle district.
Leaving Oyster Bay after the con
feren^e Poindexter sard:
"1 found Colonel Roosevelt un
changed. He and I have worked to- j
gether Always, and he assured me, that j
we always would work together. I j
am delighted with the result of the
visit.".
Roosevelt looked happy when he re
ceived the interviewers a little later.
"Representative Poindexter . and I
went over the political situation in the
northwest. .He assured me he was in
hearty sympathy with my conserva
tion policy. -
i'Mr/ Poindexter is a candidate \ for
the United^ States senate- and': is . po,-,
litiealiy^'opposed* to that wing 'of .the
party headed by Mr. Bailinger; secre
! tary of the interior."
: Assurance of ; Support ' ;
That was all the colonel wanted to
have put ln. r quotation" marks. What
ho" said otherwise made it rather clear
he had given assurance to Poindexter
that he would support him'in his at
tempt to succeed^ Piles. ," % - -
CoincidentaHy, , Baillnger and Pres
ident Taft; held." a conference at Bev
erly today, in ."jyhiclrthey discussed the
reclamation service, jv -There Bailinger
denied 'with- <£mjfthasls the rumor that
he was to resign./' 1 *
"I am not V quitter and never have
been," he said. "'>''.
Miles Poindexter is an out and out
insurgent, elected by the people of
Washington oh a radical platform. "He
has been a firm supporter of Roosevelt
policies, especially as they relate to
conservation/
More Insurgents Expected ,
While the general opinion here is
that * Roos.evelt *is still "feeling 1 his
way" as regards his ultimate attitude
toward the Taft ( administration, his
stand today is considered the' most
striking indication of- his political
frame of mind. And that he will still
fight 'hard for the conservation move
ment he made . plain > to interviewers
when Poindexter had gone!
There have been two important "in- 1
surgfents" conferences /at Sagamore hill
since the colonel's return,*: but more
are coming. '.'_ •-\u2666\u25a0
One of the most potential of these
Is arranged for Thursday next. On that
day five of the best v known and
weightiest of the Insurgents are 'com
ing to talk with the former president^
but Roosevelt declined, today to give
out their names. : .
Bailinger Don't Care
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., July 5.—-Secr
tary Bailinger, interviewed. while pass-
Ing through this city for- Washington
tonight, declared he \ did not believe
Theodore Roosevelt would I support
Miles Poindexter for the sahate. He
added: "I don't care, anyway, .for. I'm
riot in politics. I will tell you .this, 1
though: I don't believe' the , state' of
Washington will ever . send. Miles Poin
dexter to the United States senate." ;

F. V. Sawyer yesterday visited the spot
and gathered the whitened relics of
what once had been a human being;
together with meager belongings, and
from the mute remains 'will endeavor
to revive the memory and the story of
a man who possibly three years ago
died on the east slope of the silent
mottntaiiL>.-, r :. v*
MURDER OR SUICIDE " :*-,
One fact in the mind of Coroner F.
V. Sawyer of Marin county points to
murder or suicide. The coroner said:
"On the right side of the skull, two
inches from its center and a half inch
from the rim of the eye socket, is a
small puncture which might have been
made by, a 22 caliber ballet. - But no
weapon was found near the body, and
while there was no money ontbe re
mains there was some jewelry. 'No
bottle was found to indicate that* the
man might have taken poison.
A **\Yhile I am not In a position to ad
vance any theories as to his death, it
is a peculiar fact that the man had in
his pocket a cigar case with the name
of a Portland Ore., firm on It. and the
clothing worn by the unidentified
woman found dead last February was
made in Portland. The bods *of the
man found yesterday was far more, de
composed than was that of the woman,
but decomposition might have come
faster in the damp place where the
man was found than where the
woman's body lay. But the two spots
are six miles apart and it is difficult
to support any deduction joining the
two tragedies.
FINANCES PROBABLY LOW
"I would say that the man found
was about 40 years of age, nearly 5
feet tall. His face was lons and
narrow. He had a large head and
prominent features. His cheek bones
were high, he had a low forehead and
a medium chin. Judging by his teeth
he used tobacco excessively. His
teeth were well c*red for and many
cavities were filled with gold, but re
cent cavities were not attended to.
from which I infer that he had not
lately had so much money as for
merly."
The body found Monday -was badly
decomposed. The bones were dis
jointed and the head had rolled 20 fe«t
away from the trunk.
There was no money found in the
worn pockets. But the suspicion of
robbery is discredited by the fact that
a pretty opal scarf pin \u25a0was found by
i the body. The stone was small, but
was good. The man carried an fnger
soll watch with the "mascot" trade
mark, which had stopped at 8 minutes
; after 1 o'clock on some doleful day.
His cufflinks were of gold, or heavy
plate and were of simple dumbbell pat
tern. His collar buttons were plated.
His shoes were No. S, black lace, with
extension soles.
! HAT BOUGHT HERE
A black derby hat, size 7'i. pur
chased of "1L Goldstein. 150 D Fillmore
! street," was found near the body. The
coat, which was dark blue, had faded
to -a brown." It" : was .purchased of

1 } Leo C. Lennon and R. X. Ryan found
the body while walking down the moun
tain toward - Blithesdale. It was in *
gulch which 'disgorges a half mile
above trestle. No. 11 on the TamalpaU
\u25a0 railway, and the body was found on
the mountain side about 400 yards from
the railroad.
