tion of state and natlona food and dairy departments. Before the convention adjourns next Friday it Is expected that a definite plan for more drastic enforcement of pure rood regu-tions throughout the country will have been drafted. In his annual address Pres J. Q. Emery scored the use of benzoate of soda as a food preservative, and vigorously opposed the finding of the referee hoard aDoointed during President Roose velt's administration that the preserva- tive was not harmful.

He pointed to Sec Wilson as having recommended to the President that tne finding of the board be not reinvestigated, although a i committee of the association applieo for WASHINGTON. Aug 24 A big express wagon loaded with nine black borrels and one huge box containing trophies of the Roosevelt hunting expedition in Africa arrived at the Smithsonian institution at noon today. More will follow. To the horror of Sec Richard Rath-bun of the institution the packages were marked with the Initials placed there with white paint and large enough to be seen a city block away. Sec Rathbun had regarded as a noax the report that these initials of the ex-President were on the packages, and he at once pronounced them to be the evidence of a trick by newspaper men.

A New York paper printed a picture of them, the T. R. initials being about two feet high. Who put the initials on the barrels as they lay in the New York freight house, all pointed straight at the camera, is not known. "Not a photograph shall be taken of tlu-m," declared Sec Rathbun.

"Drive nway to the storehouse," he commanded, addressing the teamster. "I am simply mad," he continued, while a smile forced Its way behind a savage frown. "I have a lawyer here, and If anyone attempts to photograph these packages he will be dealt with according to the law." Later Mr Rathbun modified his order so that photographs might be taken so as not to show the obtrusive and objectionable No photographer being on hand, this offer was not accepted. The load of barrels looked more like a cargo of molasses or Jamaica rum than a choice collection of African mammals. They were safely landed in the taxidermist's storeroom.

It will be some days before the casks are broken Into and their contents inspected. NORWOOD, Aug 24 Over 600 people turned out at 6 this morning to witness the departure of the six troops of the 10th US cavalry, which came to this town yesterday noon and encamped on the Page farm through the courtesy of Frank A. Faleq. The troops had a royal reception from the townspeople, who did everything possible to make their stay pleasant. A large delegation of prominent citizens, including the memoers of the Grand Army post, went out to meet the troops coming from Mansfield, where they had encamped the previous evening.

The campground was visited by thousands, who took great interest the men and the camp. In the afternoon the officers of the squadron were the guests of Capt J. Stearns Cushing ad James Berwick, and were taken for an automobile trip, visiting one of the largest book printing establishments in the country. In the evening the officers were the guests of Capt Cushing at his residence, ar.d spent a most enjoyable evening, the captain being assisted in entertaining his guests by Mrs Cushing, Miss Cushing and Mrs Parker Weeks. After dinner short speeches were made by Capt Cushing, Mr Berwick and Maj Orierson, commander of the squadron.

The latter, in response to the toast, "The 10th regiment," spoke in eulogistic terms of colored soldiers, and said that under good leaders he would not wish for better soldiers. They were well disciplined, their behavior was good and at all times they are a credit to the country. The troopers rode away at 7 for South Framlngham, via Dedham, Wellesley and Natick. This morning Maj Grlerson received a dispatch from BrlgJen Henrv Parsons, mayor of Marlboro, inviting him and his company to camp in his city on Wednesday. RUSSIAN WAR MANEUVERS.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Aug 24 The 40th annual convention of insurance commissioners opened in this city today with 360 delegates representing practicality ah of the states, in attendance. It will be in session three days. Pres Benjamin F. Crouse of Maryland introduced Gov John F.

Shafroth of Colorado, who delivered the address of welcome, which was responded to by Fred W. Potter of Illinois, vice president of the convention. The feature of the morning session was the address of Pres Crouse, who said in part: "The insurance business should undoubtedly bear Its fair share of governmental expenses, but should not be burdened with excessive taxes simply because it can be done by hiding and covering them up in the premiums paid by policy holders or by reducing dividends which otherwise would be largely increased. "If the people who do the voting are clearly convinced that those who pay insurance premiums are paying excessive taxation on their savings soma relief will undoubtedly come. Especially ought the taxation of mutual fire insurance companies to be reduced, as no part of the premium paid for indemnity of this character is ever to the insured except In case of fire, and then only to reimburse him for his actual losses.

"Fraternal insurance is another subject of great importance and will receive special consideration at the hands of Commissioner Young of North Carolina. "There is no conflict, or should be ncne, between that and other plans of Insurance, as all have their proper place, but one of the great troubles is how to deal with a great number of associations styling themselves fraternal, whose conduct and actions toward their members are of the most unfraternal character. Some plan should be devised to eradicate these concerns which exist only to rob those who are induced by false promises of rich returns to become members." Pres Crouse did not name anv of the companies he called "unfraternal." E. E. Rittenhouse arrived here today with 67 delegates from the east in a special train.

Many other well-known Insurance men are in attendance. During the seven months ending July 31 the Globe printed 1 3,674 Columns of advertisements.

Whits ALFRED E. HILL. TT.e board of gas and electric light commissioners this morning approved tlie petition of the Edison electric company of Boston, Boston Consolidated gas company, Chelsea gas light company. Newton Watertown gas light company and the Waltham gas light company for the sale to the Edison electric Illuminating company of Boston of the Boston Consolidated gas company of the eiectric locations and properties and of the other companies named, and also for the approval by the board of thi purchase of the gas franchises and property of the Waltham gas light company by the Newton Watertown gas light company. The report say? in part: By the terms of the several contracts executed by these companies with each other the Edison company is to pay for the electric location and property of the Boston company, for those of the Cnelseu company $350,000.

those of the Xtwton company $500,000, those of the Waltham company $600,000, and the Newton company is to pay $500,000 for tht property of the Waltham company. The several companies also covenant that they will rot further prosecute the business of furnishing electricity or gas, as the case may be. as heretofore. The $1, 300. 000 to be paid for the electric proerty of the Boston company is to he used to cancel an equal amount of its tloating debt.

The Waltham company is to be liquidated. After its purchase of the Waltham company the capital and debt of the Newton company will be the same as they are now, as it is to receive the amonut for its electric property. The outstanding bonds of the Chelsea company are to be canceled. The direct result of the transaction will be to separate In these committees the gas business from the electric business. The facilities for furnishing and distributing light, heat and power will not in any event be diminished.

It is clear that gas and electricity can be profitably supplied over far wider areas than was formerly thought feasible. Greater efficiency in operation and greater economies in costs are possible with a large lighting company serving a given territory than to several independent companies serving different sections of the same territory. There is a public advantage in having the gas and electric business separately conducted anc under independent management and control. The natural rivalry between the two should result In substantial benefits to the public. The maximum net prices for electricity in the districts of the several companies are: Edison 12 cents, Boston 14 cents, Newton 12 cents.

Chelsea 15 cents, Waltham 16 cents per kilowatt hour. Prior to the present year the price In Newton was IS cents, but it was reduced in anticipation of the transfer of its electric property to the Edison company. The immediate results of the consolidations will be the establishment of the Edison prices throughout the territory. The Edison company has also assured the board that after it has had time to avail itself of such economy as may follow the consolidation, or not later than Jan 1, it will reduce its maximum price to 11 cents throughout the territory.

Alfred Ellis Hill, aged 75, for more than half a century engaged In the photograph business, and who retired about four years ago, died yesterday at the home for Aged Couples, 417 Walnut av, Roxbury.

Mr Hill had been at the home for some time. Formerly he lived in Somervllle. Funeral services will be held at the home at 2 tomorrow. When a boy Mr Hill entered a studio on Tremont row and learned the da-guorreotype process. That was In 1851.

Later other types came into use, all of which he mastered. When Hiram A. Cutting developed the ambro types Mr Hill was one of the first to adopt the mtthod, buying the exclusive right to make them for Norfolk county. He was likewise one of the first photographers to use the Wing multiplying camera, a camera still in use in most tintype studios today. During the civil war Mr Hill was an Itinerant photographer, having a car which was fitted up in almost regal fashion, with reception, operating and dark rooms.

For three years he was stationed near the state camp at New Haven, Conn. "The biggest craze this country has ever seen for picture taking was dur ing the civil war," said Mr Hill in describing his work a few years ago. "Never has there been sucfi a time as then for taking pictures. Every soldier wanted to have his picture taken to send home, and friends and relatives had pictures taken to send to them at the front. Not more than one or two were usually ordered at a time.

The price was $2 and up, according to the case in which the picture was enclosed. It was not until tintypes were ma.de that large numbers of one picture was made. "My wife always traveled with me on the tours over the country, and with the car we covered most of New England. We used to stop from three to six weeks in a town, and when we were ready to go elsewhere we employed the stable keeper or the farmers In the town to haul us to our next field of operations. Both oxen and horses were used to haul us.

"I sold out the car In Hartford and went into the business of opening studios, getting the business established and then selling out. I opened studios In this way in Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Lynn, Melrose, Providence, Meriden, New Haven and other places." EX-MAYOR FINED $15. E. M.

No Randidge Fund Excursion Today, But Tomorrow Two Parties Will Go on Outing.

Stanwood Field, who accompanies the Randidge-fund excursion parties to Na-hant, spent some time this morning trying to figure out what had become of the 200 children from the Home Library association who were to go to Nahant on the 9:30 boat for today's excursion. On his way down to Otis wharf Mr Field had visited the school board rooms on Mason st and had been told that the children would surely go today, and It was not until long aftc the boat had sailed that he found out that the excursion was postponed. At the last moment the authorities in charge of the Home Library association partv decided that they would prefer to go tomorrow instead of this morning, md tnev telephned the school board rooms to that effect. Mr O'Brien, the man in charge of the excursion arrangements, did some tall hustling for a few minutes, but he finally fixed matters so that the children from the Home Library association will Join the party of 300 children which the Federation of Jewish Charities will send on the excursion tomorrow. Thursday will be the last excursion duy this year, and on that day Rev Fr Knapp will accompany a party of children from St Stephen's church In the North End.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug 24-At-lantic City's Sunday closing controversy was complicated today when representatives of the state law and order society served a mandamus on Judge Martin E. Keffer of the city police court, requiring him to show cause at once why he should not accept complaints of violations of Sabbath regulations brought by detectives of the reform organizations. The mandamus was issued by Justice Garrison of the supreme court. For more than a week Judge Keffer refused to receive any complaints for infractions of the Sabbath laws unless they were preferred through the office of Chief of Police Woodruff. Chief Woodruff refused to cooperate with the reform bodies in any way.

If the mandamus served today is made permament by the court, the Pastor's alliance will be In position, it is said, for the first time in years to compel absolute closing along the beach front.

There was plenty of swerdfish, and they came by vessel, train and steamer.

The fishermen who vent down to the eaf after swordfish appear to be taking them, judging from the way they are coming by boat. At this season the fish run in toward the shcre, and scatter, most of them going east. This morning there was only one swordflsherman at wharf, the Lafayette, whicn was in from her second trip with 14 swordfish. The Lafayette has been netting until recently. She started in that line on May 1 when the mackerel began to run aboe New York, and up to six weeks ago, when she gave up netting to go swordftshing, her men shared $400 for their work.

She made only two trips after swordfish, and from the the men received $116 as a share, and the present trip at the prices paid this morning should net them $40 at least. Besides the fish on the Lafayette there were two on the sloop Morning Star with her groundfish, four can.e up from Rockport and the Halifax steamer brought In 26 from the fishermen down there. The price of swordfish Is advancing rapidly as the season draws to a close, and this morning the dealers paid the highest given for the fish since the first ones came to the market. The demand for swordfish has grown wonderfully within a few years, and now It shares with mackerel the first call on the market while it can be gt. Not long ago some of the dealers were able to put swordfish in the freesers and keep them for the winter demand, but this year the demand has been greater than the supply, and there are few swordfish going to the freesers.

Performance at Annisquam Hall to Large Audience. GLOUCESTER, Aug 24 For the fourth time within a week, Village hall at Annisquam was packed last evening to witness Chamberlain Brown's travesty, "The Stew," a musical comedy In two acts, several new features being interpolated. The skit was written by Mr Brown, who is but 17 and a student in St Andrew's academy, Concord, and he figures very prominently in the whole production Last night he gave evidence of dramatic talent In one of the difficult transformation scenes of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Mr Brown was fortunate to gather about him some very clever amateurs of the summer colony. As before, Mrs William Atkinson bore off a large share of the honors for the finished manner in which she depicted the designing, fortune-title hunting mama; and Mrs John Whittemore as Mrs Frederic Springer was equally clever.

Both are Annisquam summer residents from the Boston zone, and both received up-piause for effective work. Lilian, Miss Olga Llngard, Mrs Atkinson's daughter, was another especially noticeable part, acted with a finish and dash which was one of the successes of the evening. Her song, "I'm Looking For a Sweetheart," with a quartet, a tandem of four young men, being heartily applauded. Frank Graham as an age fit of the Black Hand In a Dundreary part was also one of the hits, and the manner in which he portrayed his piece and sung the topical song assigned him was one of the Irresistibly funny parts of the evening. Pearson Irwin as an athletic tramp transformed Into a butler also made a pronounced hit with the audience.

A part which also won much favor was' that of Robert Underwood, Eric Llngard and Elsie Falcon, a Bowery girl, impersonated by Transita Pevear, Miss Pevear showing her adaptability to ths part in fine style. William Ferguson as the bogus count also acted his part well, and the girl chorus, with Mr Brown In his female impersonation, composed of Esther Hawkes. Annie Wilkinson and Miss Cleveland were a quartet of as pretty and as fetching girls as seen this season on the North shore. On its three previous presentations $175 was netted for the village ehurch at Annisquam. The performance last night was under the matronage of Mrs Adele R.

Llngard of the Pines, and the proceeds will go to the A. Maria Lane table at the hospital fete of the woman's auxiliary to the Addison Gilbert hospital to be held tomorrow on the hospital grounds.
